Bug Description
When I attempt to print a portion of a web page that I have selected one of two things happens:
1. Firefox 3 will crash and vanish from my screen without any error message. When I restart Firefox 3 it asks if I want to recover the pages I was viewing when it crashed.
2. Firefox 3 will act like it is printing the selection on the page, but the printer never shows any activity. When I check the status of the document under the print job manger its says STOPPED, and restarting the print job just results in it says STOPPED again in a few seconds.
I don't seem to have any other issues printing from any other applications, it seems to only be Firefox 3 that has the problem. My machine was last updated on 2008-04-05, so I think I have fairly current packages. [firefox-3.0 (3.0~b4+
Thanks.
To add one more oddity to this problem. One of the machines I own doesn't crash when printing a selected area from Firefox 3. A blank page just comes out of the printer.
