Public bug reported:

Steps to reproduce:

1. Load a web page in firefox and click File->Print. The Print dialog box 
appears.
2. Choose Print to File from the list of printers
3. Choose home under Save in folder. (This is always the default selection for 
me).
4. Type a name in the filename box, and hit Print.

What happens:

The "Printing" dialog box appears, the progress indicator goes up to 100%, and 
then it disappears. However, no file is saved 
(because /home/ is not writable).

What should happen:

A message should appear saying that the file cannot be written to
/home/, and I should be returned to the Print dialog.
