Hi all, currently http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/timers.html#printing says that window.print() should prompt user to print the page, but that "For instance, a kiosk browser could silently ignore any invocations of the print() method." A print button in web pages is quite common, and if pressing that doesn't give any feedback (and the web page can't even detect if it should give some feedback of missing printing), the user experience isn't quite optimal. So I think it *might* make sense to throw some error if printing isn't supported. Or should browsers which don't support window.print() just not have print() method in the window object? (problem is that I'd guess everyone just expects .print() to be there) -Olli
