Interesting :!:

According to the Release Notes
unresolved

Print progress dialog is disabled
I see it is enabled in my 77.0b2, but I didn't test printing an email. Did test printing a calendar which worked just fine.

Thanks for finding that.

I did some testing yesterday and see the same with emails, although calendar print works with the pref set to "true" or "false"

I filed https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1637662 for the problem.

Nice find. I immediately applied this and went to try it out before I remembered my printer died a couple of days ago and I'm waiting on delivery of a new one. NUTS! ](*,)

v78.0b2; print.show_print_progress manually reset to true (default) and now printing OK with progress pop-up showing.
