I don't have printer and accidentally choosing the print dialog (or being forced to, javascript in html) is annoying.

I have something like this in mind...

Detection: Show only one dialog (not two, as now) __cancelable__, with some progress bar -- I opt for the print dialog with message "detecting printers" in status bar, no other "specialized" dialog.

Possible error (printer is missing): show a warning dialog, not an error, include "do not show this message" (I know I don't have printer so I don't have to see that all the time). Showing an error caused by javascript is too offensive I think.

In main print dialog, if there is no printer, show as printer "no printer" or something similar.
