63127 - Printing about:mozilla results in a blank page [background] [printing]

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 62344

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

Description

[mark]

If you try to print the about:mozilla page, a blank sheet comes out. I am
running Windows 2000, with a Canon BJC-4300 printer. I have the Windows 2000
drivers on the CD, but I seriously doubt that is the problem as other pages
print okay.

Tested with Mozilla 0.6

This worked for me..at the same time I fixed another picture bug.. so they might 
be related. I will mark this as fixed just because of the other bug I fixed..

Can still replicate this in build 2001010620.

This prints out great for me.. but the only thing might be that the about box is 
different for the Mozilla your printing with.  It might be an HTML thing.. so 
can you attach the HTML for the about box you are printing, I have a feeling it 
is another bug (some sort of Frame or poorly paginated table) which there are 
bugs for.

I have attached the source for this file. I'm thinking it could be not printing 
because its white text on a red background - that is the background is being 
ignored and the text is not printing because its white.

I've just done a test for this and it seems to be the case. I'll attatch my 
testcase as well, and have a look for a duplicate bug.

I can't find a duplicate bug for this, but I have looked at what other browsers 
do in this situation - IE 5.5 (Windows) inverses the colours so that the text 
prints out as black on white and Netscape 4.74 (Windows) just prints a header 
and footer with nothing in between.

This is a problem because we do not print backgrounds.. and the white text comes 
out as white.

Comment 12

[dcone (gone)]

This is a duplicate 62344, since backgrounds don't print..white text does not 
show up.
