User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.2; WOW64; rv:20.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/20.0 Build ID: 20130313170052 Steps to reproduce: Open multiple tabs. Open a multiple page PDF (any file will do). Example: http://www.fande.es/Fandite/Ficheros/BARCODES.pdf Select print and pick a printer. Click OK. Switch to another active Firefox tab while printing prepares the document. Actual results: Alert: "Print Preview Error An unknown error occurred while printing." When OK is clicked to dismiss the message, a partial printout is sent to the printer. Expected results: Printout should complete normally.
Maybe it’s related to the Print Preview bug 787450 or a bug mentioned there.
