Suggestion: Multiple print ranges

Václav Trpišovský

While printing PDFs from the built-in viewer or webpages, Firefox only allows me to set one continuous print range.

The following is what I see in the Windows print dialog. Quote from below the Pages: text box while printing from Firefox:

  • Enter either a single page number or a single page range. For example, 5-12

...and while printing from most other programs (that do not use their own print dialog):

  • Enter page numbers and/or page ranges separated by commas. For example, 1,5-12

Thanks. Sorry for the duplicate, but I tried searching for different keywords and no relevant answers popped up. Also thank you very much for marking the bug as high-priority: many printer drivers have too few options and a carefully "shuffled" list of pages needs to be specified when creating a booklet, for example.

No worries. It's not really a duplicate since that report is over on another website, and besides that it's often quite hard to find the relevant bugs on bugzilla.mozilla.org. :-)
