           Summary: Printing of PDF in IFRAME from USPS.com does not work
                    properly
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 417.x
          Platform: Macintosh
               URL: https://sss-web.usps.com/cns/sample.do?productCode=PRI
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: New Bugs
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at opendarwin.org
        ReportedBy: craig at mac.com


The URL above is the print sample page from the USPS with regards to printing a
click-n-ship label.  It loads the url:
https://sss-web.usps.com/cns/servlet/com.usps.cns.web.pdf.LabelGenerationServlet?sample=false&productCode=PRI&dummy=file.pdf
Into an iframe after processing the request server-side.  However, the iframe
is hidden, and the link to that pdf is not displayed (which is their failover
in case you can't see the iframe, strangely enough).

Therefore, the hidden iframe does not print.  I can't find any script that
actually sends the print command to the browser, and this may be because the
PDF file itself contains that code.  (If the pdf is saved to disk and opened in
Acrobat, it immediately pulls up the print dialog)

The only workaround I have found is to do a view-source on the page, extract
the above URL and paste it into your browser to view the PDF fullscreen and
then print it manually.

Unsure if this is a webkit bug, a pdf bug, or an issue for 3rd-party PDF
plug-ins.
