printer settings dialog

This bug was filed from the crash reporting server and is br-f4f89c82-51ca-42d7-99bf-fc526d956cd9.
=========================================

My Windows default printer is a network printer connected to a Raspberry Pi (with CUPS 1.7.5 as a raw printer device):

\\http://raspberrypi:631\Canon_MP550_raw

Another printer with same problem:

\\raspberrypi\SKG-Laser-2 (Samsung ML-1640)

Steps to reproduce:

Open empty.ods (an empty LO spreadsheet)

File -> printer settings

Push printer settings button in the printer settings dialog to the right of the printer name.

LO crashes

A second execution of the above procedure produces this crash report:

Thank you for the report.
Could you please test again with a currently-supported version of LibreOffice, 7.4 or 7.5, to see if the issue persists?

Cloph on IRC chased down this Firefox report, crashing when opening printer settings: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1547379

See in particular this comment with the same DLL in the crash signature: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1547379#c5
and this comment about updating drivers: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1547379#c8

Please try updating your printer drivers and report back if you still experience the issue.
Ultimately, it doesn't look like something we'd have to fix on our end, but more of a driver or Windows issue.
