Title:
  Can't print specific types of pages (cross-platform issue)

Status in Chromium Browser:
  New
Status in “chromium-browser” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: chromium-browser

  Chrome & Chromium Stable (at least) all versions 8.x & 9.x  have been unable to print certain types of pages which are designed to be printed.  This is a cross-platform issue; there are reports found from at least Linux & Windows that I've seen.
  Problem pages include many major websites on the Net who generate custom, on-demand pages designed to be printed, including:

  Google Map Directions
  Mapquest Map Directions
  Amazon shipping data
  United States Postal Service labels
  PayPal/Ebay Shipping Labels

  Static pages seem to print just fine, it's only these generated on-the-fly pages that fail.
   
  Here are just a few of the other reports:

  As for myself, I'm using Mint 10 (Ubuntu Maverick Gnome), I have the
  same failure with any version of Chromium Stable or Chrome Stable,
  using my HP Laserjet 4L--all other programs print fine with this
  printer .  Like reporters on other platforms, if I simply switch to
  another browser, (firefox for example) these pages print perfectly.

  For me, the printed error messages all look similar to:

  Error:  /unknownerror in --.postinstall--
                                                                         Operand stack:
                                                                                                          --dict:7/16(l)     --di

  Thanks,
