88295 - Can not print page on WinME-ja

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 86989

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

Description

[Yuying Long]

Build: 06-25 trunk, 06-28 Branch on WinME-Ja

Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch the browser and go to any page.
2. File | Print or click the Printer icon, the print dialog will pops-up.
3. Click on "OK" in order to print a page.

Result:
Nothing happens, the "Printer" tray icon doesn't show up in the bottom of 
screen tas bar.

This is a regression, happened sometime between 06-21 and 06-25 cause I had no 
problem with 06-21 trunk build.

I tried to figure out what's the exactly build that this regression happens.
Then I guess there are some more problems beside the build checked in.
1. We have 2 printer(\\FLOTSAM\lungfish and sanma, sanma is a postscript 
printer) here, with same build, like 06-19 and 06-21 trunk build ( I deleted 
them from my machine before and reinstall the same build today), they were 
printed fine before on both printer, and today only works on sanma but lungfish.
2. I filed this bug on 06-28, I checked print didn't work with both lungfish and 
sanma, and today when I used exactly same build, it works on sanma but lungfish.

There is another bug 86989 is talking about printing issue too, it might has 
some related problems.

I am sure this is the same issue as 86989, so I am marking as a duplicate, as I 
discussed there, lungfish seems to be having problems with 98j.

Please check the comments that I put in bug 86989 on 2001-07-05 12:17 and 
2001-07-05 12:25.  

Please note: bug 86989 can not print Japanese characters, but this one is can 
not print page at all, doesn't matter English or Japanese page or characters.

I checked it on "Print to file":
On 07-05 branch build, after I finished the add the printer that prints to file, 
then try to print a page to a file, name a file then try save it, I got a error 
message says "Invalid file name" no matter what kind of file name.

I'll re-open this bug cause it doesn't really matter with Japanese characters or 
not.

Can you print out to Lungfish on any build before 6-21.  

Comment 6

[Yuying Long]

I was always able to print out the build earlier than beta1 or 06-21 before, 
but I'm not quit sure which printer I was used before because I haven't had 
this problem on WinME before.
However, since my WinME harddrive is very small, I always delete the old build.
And recently a few days, when I re-install those old builds, I got problem even 
on N6.01.  This is very strenge.  So, I don't know if there is any changing on 
Lungfish or not, we have so many people are using that printer.

This is a lungfish driver problem.. I am pretty sure. I think its a duplicate of 
the other problem still, so I am marking as a duplicate.  If you can get this to 
happen on any other printer besides lungfish.. re-open.

This problem turns our N6.x doesn't work on HP LaserJet 5Si/5Si MX PS printer
driver(lungfish default drive in IS) on WinME, after changed to HP LaserJet
5Si/MX, then will work fine.  Will add it on release notes.
