[Bug 212316] [NEW] print selection option causes firefox to crash

[Brian]

Public bug reported:

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+nobinary-0ubuntu1), firfox-3.0-gnome-support (3.0~b4+nobinonly=0ubuntu1), cupsys (1.3.7-1ubuntu1)]
Thanks.
