97198 - Long print job truncated by subsequent print job

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

6.1 RTM

I sent a bug listing to the printer (bug 38521) and then when the print dialog
went away I went to another bug and hit the print button again and sent the next
job to the printer.  When I went to the printer, the long printout from the
first bug only got as far as page 2 of 15 before it quit.  (The print job
doesn't have to be extremely long, one of the printouts I asked for was only 4
pages long and it quit after the first page.)

If this is "unfixable", then at least the print button (and related commands)
should be disabled until it's ready for more work.

Note:  Waiting for the printout to complete before sending the next job results
in full printouts.

There is already logic in there so a new print job can not be started until the 
job preceding it is finished.  Having said that I assumed there might be a bug 
with that logic.. and I tested what you described.. and I could not reproduce 
this.  I did see other bugs.. like I could not get to the next page while the 
print job was being submited, it would switch me back to the preceeding 
document.  This bug might happen from preceeding versions, this bug was fixed 3 
or 4 weeks back.
