There seems to be no provision in the spec for a behavior Firefox and IE (and now WebKit-based browsers, too) have. If window.print() is called during page load, then its action is delayed until loading is finished.

Opera is currently looking into a related issue. The issue we have is what to do with

w = window.open(url)
w.print()

Right now Opera ignores print() here, but Yahoo!Mail depends on this for their printing functionality.

The WebKit bug that changed this most recently is <https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43658> - it has some information about trickier aspects of the behavior. This looks like something that needs to be formally specified.
