74881 - [Patch] Embed does not print even though nsIPrintListener is working

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core Graveyard :: Embedding: GTK Widget, defect)

Description

[Maher Awamy]

Attached is a patch to get Embed to use the nsIPrintListener interface, using
the same code as in mozilla via nsIContentviewer and nsIContentViewerFile - The
embedding component can never print. Also another example is included using the
nsIWebBrowserPrint interface.

There is a patch for this on bug #57928.
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57928

(You have to use nsIWebBrowserPrint api and
options->SetPrintSilent (PR_TRUE);)

Yep, I just added the same code in nsDeviceContextSpecG.cpp for silencing the
print dialog and embed printed just fine so this patch works but has
to wait on the fix on the bug that Marco mentioned.

Someone bring me up to speed on what needs to happen in this bug.  You guys know
more about it than I do.  :)

Nothing unless you want a call to gtk_moz_embed to print, since the bug was in
mozilla and is fixed now, an embedder can write c++ code to interface with
mozilla print interface. This was me just testing and I ended up writing it for
Embed to test rather than in SkipStone.

I don't have a particular interest in putting this in the embedding widget.  Can
I close this?

No probs, as long as I can print via mozilla, already got code for that :)

OK.
