Description Nicolas Goutte 2004-09-22 16:16:09 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.0)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc 3.3.1 -march=pentium2
OS:                Linux

After KHTML display a HTML document, if you choose "Print..." in the context menu, print does not work as "Location/Print".

With the context menu, the HTML file itself seems to be send to KPrint, which asks what do with the HTML file. Accepting the option to convert makes only print the HTML source (i.e. only a text to PostScript conversion).

So it probably means that KHTML has given the document in the wrong format.

Have a nice day!

The 2 other bugs are bug #90022 and bug #90023

Sorry never mind my comment #1
Comment 3 _ 2005-01-09 22:50:41 UTC
It indeed doesn't work. It seems like the HTML page isn't parsed by KHTML before it is printed, so the 'feature' is useless at the moment.

Sorry, what context menu is that? or has it been removed for 3.4?

Same problem here in KDE 3.5 RC 1.
Comment 8 Kurt Pfeifle 2007-01-05 03:05:41 UTC
Indeed, that context menu is utterly useless (unless you do indeed want to printout the HTML sourcecode of a web page).

(KDE 3.5.5 here)
Comment 9 Kurt Pfeifle 2007-01-07 22:18:11 UTC
As a very simple solution, I suggest to...

 (a) ...either remove that context menu altogether,
 (b) ...or simply rename the item to "Print source code..."

In KDE4 someone may then want to add a real context menu "Print".

Closing as UNMAINTAINED since we don't have the manpower to support KDE3 anymore. If this issue is still valid for Konqueror 4.8.4 or later, please reopen or file a new report.
Thanks for your understanding.
