Public bug reported:
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the print dialog with e.g. File → Print or (hamburger icon) → Print →
Print
2. Select a non-default printer
3. Select one of the tabs in the dialog, e.g. Page Setup
EXPECTED RESULTS
The tab is opened for the selected printer.
ACTUAL RESULTS
The Print to File printer is selected and does not open the tab. The other tabs
available in other printers (but not in this virtual printer for Print to File)
are missing. Continuing to print will attempt to print to file.
AFFECTS
* firefox 46.0+build5-0ubuntu0.14.04.2
WORKAROUND
1. After the Print to File printer is selected, click the Page Setup or
Options tabs
2. Change options as needed
3. Select the General tab
4. Reselect the right printer and those settings will be applied
…but note that you can't change anything on other tabs.
NOTES
* 20 April, I received an update to 45.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.14.04.1, which was
unaffected. There have been no other updates since.
* This is on i386 Kubuntu, but neither fact should be relevant.
