Hi everyone;

I have a couple of thoughts/reminders.  The printing dialog ought to be 
checked with at-poke and event-listener-test (better yet, tested with 
gnopernicus or orca) to ensure that it speaks appropriate content when 
navigated.  It would also be a good time to ensure that the new dialog 
design is 100% keyboard navigable.

Also, for theming, it should be possible to preview the document in a 
non-WYSIWYG mode.  I know may seem like a mis-feature to some, but for 
people with certain vision disorders, it's vital that even print 
previews be viewable using the current theme colors instead of the 
actual document colors.  For instance, in HighContrastInverse, the print 
preview should appear in while-on-black.   To do otherwise can make the 
print preview dialog unusable and/or painful for some end-users, and 
existing accessibility regulations do specify that user interface 
elements must respect system themes.

I'm pretty sure this should be user-configurable, perhaps as a 
checkbox-menuitem in a menu, since most users will want WYSIWYG print 
previews.  Not sure there's any way to indicate this in the theme .rc 
file itself, but perhaps someone will think of an elegant solution.  
Similarly, the low-contrast theme print preview pages may need to be 
"low contrast" instead of black-on-white.

regards

Bill
