Firefox crashes on Windows 7 when printing to a Windows 7 network printer.

On Windows 7 running Firefox 3.6.10, I cannot print to a Windows 7 network printer. Firefox crashes every time as soon as I hit print.
However, the situation is very specific. I can print from Windows XP using Firefox 3.6.10 to a Windows 7 network printer. I can also print from Windows 7 using Firefox 3.6.10 to a Windows XP network printer. The only situation that doesn't work is using Firefox and printing from Windows 7 machine to Windows 7 machine.
Firefox is also the only program that does not print. I can print using Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, MS Word, MS Excel, and every other application just fine. Firefox is exclusive in that it is the only program that crashes and refuses to print. The drivers that are being used a PostScript drivers.
I have tried multiple versions of Firefox from older ones to the Firefox 4 beta and the program crashes every time.
Again, the only time it crashes is printing from a Windows 7 client computer to a Windows 7 network printer. Printing from XP to Windows 7 and from Windows 7 to XP works.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. The only program I've noticed the problem with is Firefox, so I'm assuming it's a problem at the application level.

Here is the Crash Report for a user more experienced at reading Crash Reports than I am:

Here's a search for that particular Signature - [http://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/list?product=Firefox&query_search=signature&query_type=exact&query=OPBinaryCookedPortWrite&date=10%2F14%2F2010%2014%3A00%3A00&range_value=1&range_unit=weeks&hang_type=any&process_type=any&plugin_field=&plugin_query_type=&plugin_query=&do_query=1&admin=&signature=OPBinaryCookedPortWrite OPBinaryCookedPortWrite] 
Looks like a Windows problem, but not restricted to Win7 or 3.6.10 - there's one on Vista SP2 with Firefox 3.6 and another with 4.0b6 on Win7.

How do I make my HP P2055dn printer into a wireless network printer for 5 computers

How do I make my HP P2055dn printer into a wireless network printer for 5 computers? Windows versions on computers used are XP,Vista & 7.
Thanks
Leon

Unplug the USB cable from the printer. Plug your printer into your wireless router with an Ethernet cable.
Next, on each computer, get the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page. Install it and select "Network" installation when it asks.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

Printing from iPad - Why do I need third party app to print to a local network printer??

Why do I need to pay for a third party app to print to ALL local network printer?? I understand that only some printers are compatable with iPads, but yet application like "iCanPrint" allow me to print just fine to a printer connected to my network. Why can't Apple include this as one of its features? Technology is apparently there?

For that, and the many other apps to work, you need to be running a pc or Mac on the network. The answer is drivers. Every printer in the world needs a driver. There simply is not enough space on a pad to load every possible printer driver that might be in play. in the pc world, the operating system comes preloaded with hundreds of common drivers, and when you buy and install a new printer, you download the new drivers for that new printer.
That all just will not work on a pad or phone. So apple flipped the issue upside down, and said...'here is the printer driver we will make standard for its devices. We call it AirPrint. Include this in your printer'. A lot of manufacturers have, and more printers are enabled each month.
So your choice is pretty basic. You can buy an AirPrint enabled printer and print directly to it, or buy a non AirPrint printer, or use the one you have, and rely on your pc to act as the translation device to manage the print job.

Firefox crashes every time when i open it.

Hello i recently noticed a firefox crash. I started it and it crashed. Now it happens to me every time when i start it. Please someone help me i tried to uninstall and then install , reseting but nothing works!? Also i have antivirus protection and it isn't caused by a virus. Here are my crash id's :
bp-cd490cde-9227-4f1b-af49-d19e02131107

THANKS!

We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing when you open it. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
#Press the following shortcut to get a Run window: [Windows] + [R]. This should bring up a window that contains a text field.
#In that text field, enter %APPDATA% and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
#From that explorer window, double-click on the ''Mozilla'' folder, then double-click on ''Firefox'' and then on ''Crash reports''. Double-click on ''submitted''.
#Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to ''View'' > ''Arrange Icons by'' > ''Modified'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
#Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
#Paste each ID with '''bp-''' into the reply window on the forums.
Thanks in advance!

Is it possible to restore lost windows? Firefox crashed, and only 5 of my open windows reopened, even though all settings are such that all should be restored.

Unfortunately when I restarted Firefox after its most recent crash, most of my open windows and tabs were not restored as they are set to do and as they usually do after a crash. Not that I enjoy Firefox crashing, but usually everything reopens and life goes on. However, after a crash tonight, when I next opened Firefox about 80% of my open windows and tabs did not reopen.
After this (most recent) crash most of my windows and tabs were not restored:
bp-e7f145b9-04cf-4de8-a4a4-8e2952130816
This was the most recent prior crash where my windows and tabs were restored:
bp-c674bdd3-e905-44c0-9bc9-6b4982130815
**I would love to have these windows and tabs reset, or at least be able to find a list of them to reopen them manually.**
I am running Firefox 23.0. My antivirus and antispyware were run overnight last night with no issues.
(This is on my desktop computer using Windows XP. I also have a laptop which runs Firefox 23.0 which uses Windows 7. Firefox on it crashes as well, but thankfully thus far the windows and tabs have been restored. I use it less than I do my desktop, however.)
Thank you very much!

Thank you -- I will do so. Still, I'm very eager to restore (or find a list of) my windows and tabs that were not restored after the last crash. Is it possible to do that from the last working restore?
The last two working restores were after the crash mentioned above, bp-c674bdd3-e905-44c0-9bc9-6b4982130815, and before that, bp-7f5b697e-c4c5-4cb8-9b15-9318c2130815.
FWIW, I just updated to 23.0.1. Thank you *very* much!

Firefox crashing repeatedly, usually when opening a webpage

For a few weeks now I've had problems with Firefox crashing on me. I did have version 6, I believe, but I downgraded to version 3 in the hopes that it would be more stable. I am still having the problem in 3 (I did try going back to 6 briefly, but the crashing happened again almost immediately). I've tried troubleshooting it myself, but I just don't know what is causing the crashes. I've updated all of my plugins. For me, the crashes happen most when I am going to a new webpage, either in the same or in a new tab. It seems that midway through the page loading, it triggers the crash. This happens in a diverse range of webpages, from Twitter to a Wordpress blog to the main page of Google. It usually will crash a few times in a row (I try to restore the session) and then stabilize again, but then will crash again a few hours later. The only thing to have changed recently that may be causing it is some firewall settings on my computer (I'm using Firefox on a work computer). If you could help me, I would really appreciate it.

Try to set the Flash plug to click-to-play by setting the permissions for Flash to "Ask To Activate" in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins".
That way you can activate the Flash plugin when you need it via the Lego block icon on the location bar.
You can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions and try this:
*check for updates for your graphics drive drivers https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Is there a way to get firefox to warn me when exiting with multiple windows open?

When I click File > Exit in the menu, I want firefox to warn me if I have multiple windows open.
I don't want it to warn me about multiple tabs though.
Is there a way to get it to do that?
I would prefer to just hit the red X in the top right corner, which would avoid this problem, However, if it is the only firefox window I have open, then the red X will often not properly shut down firefox exe, so next time I try to launch firefox it won't work and I have to end task on firefox exe! I was told to use File Exit to improve the chances that firefox will properly close, but doing so introduces this new issue.
thanks

That doesn't work.
Once I set it to true, if I have one window open with multiple tabs, and try to exit, it comes up with a warning box, which I don't want.
Then if I check it to say 'don't show this again', the next time I run firefox the showQuitwarning setting has been set back to false. So then when I have multiple windows open and I file exit, all firefox shuts down with no warning.
The reason I want this is because I can *see* the tabs of the window I am in when I am clicking on file|exit, so visually, I'm not going to close anything that I didn't mean to close because it's right there visible to me at the top of the screen (the tabs are seen at the top of the screen) in the same area as where I am looking at and clicking File Exit.
But other firefox windows are not visible up there so it is easy to forget that they are open, since a lot of times I don't have any other windows open (if I *always* had other windows open then I would not forget them and be in more of a practice of checking the taskbar for them)
And this is all because I can't hit the red X in the top right corner without increasing the odds of hung firefox processes that don't truly exit (thus making me unable to start another session later without Ending Task which isn't good).
The hanging is daily but random and not reproducible, so it's very difficult to troubleshoot or fix.

What did the installation of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 changed in the system because after that Firefox crashes every time when opened?

My system worked normally but after I installation CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 Firefox crashes every time I try to open it. I've tried disabling plugins and add-ons but with no success. Reinstallation of Firefox hasn't helped. But as I this has happened to me on a couple of other computers too, I've been able pin point the source of problem to installation of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 (and earlier versions, too).
Firefox can be opened without problems in safe mode or in Windows XP SP3 compatiblity mode. Does Firefox use some different system components then?
I am using 32-bit Windows7 and latest version of Firefox.

It is possible that the CorelDRAW program installed extra fonts on your computer and that Firefox is having a problem with one or more of them.
You can use one of these to start Firefox in Safe mode:
*On Windows, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox with a double-click on the Firefox desktop shortcut
*On Mac, hold down the Options key while starting Firefox
*Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
You can also do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

Firefox crashes on launch, including safe mode. Windows 7 64-bit.

Firefox crashes within 2-3 seconds of launch consistently. Safe mode does not alleviate problem. Operating system is Windows 7 64-Bit.

It looks like from what me and another volunteer think is that some binary modules are corrupt. A clean installation of Firefox would most likely fix it.

Firefox crashes after I close a 'sent email' window. I am using Windows 7 and have recently updated to Firefox 4.0.1, using AOL toolbar 2.1. ID: 9dafea24-ccbc-4c76-b3ea-fddeb2110430 Signature: JSObject::nativeSearch(int, bool)

Firefox crashes every 2nd or 3rd email I send.

Hi Kossa,
You can also check if the issue occurs in
Clean Boot. If the issue disappears in the Clean Boot environment, you can continue to narrow down which entry is causing the issue.
Besides, uninstall it and re-download
a fresh copy of FireFox to check the result. If the issue still exists, create a new user account to see if it occurs.
If the issue persists, you can contact Mozilla Support directly and use Internet Explorer (IE) during the time.

Photosmart D7160 connected to desktop with Windows XP, issues with new laptop & network printing

We have a Photosmart D7160 connected to our desktop that runs Windows XP. I just got a new Acer laptop that runs Windows 7 (64bit). We set up a network to connect to the internet and so I can access documents that had been made on the desktop. I have not had issues using the printer off the desktop with any programs. I installed a creative program to create flyers, cards, etc onto the laptop. Same one as on the desktop. When trying to print off the laptop, I can not access the whole options on the printer. I forget the name of the options I want (maybe called printing preferences) but I would like to choose wether I am using the photo tray or presentation printing or economy printing, etc. I can only choose print. That is not good for printing cards, etc. I had made a recipe care template with that program and wanted to print one out.
What have I not done in setting up my laptop? I tried the to "add a printer" on a network and that did not fix my issue. Any help is appreciated. thanks.

Hi Bayratlj
Dunno if you've sorted your problem out, but I had exactly the same problem with a HP Photosmart 3100. I found some advice on http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6201674 regarding the firewall on the Mac and yes that is the problem. But as you'll see with my last post in that topic I cant figure out how to keep my firewall on AND have printer sharing. Just allowing printer sharing in the firewall settings is no help.
Cheers

Reader 9.1.0 Crashes or slow when opening files over a network

Hello all. I am having a problem with Reader 9.1. I have files that are on another computer that are accessed on other computers on the network. There is a need for up to 21 of these files to be open at one time. As we update the information on them we close them. At random times and intervals, Reader either is very slow to open up the file, around 5min. and other times it just locks up the computer and a restart is required. Is this a limitation of the program to work with files on another system? I do not know much about Reader it's self, but do windows. Any help with this matter will be greatly appreciated. I have included the System Paramaters and Installed Plug-ins reports generated in Reader. I have also tried updating Reader with the lates patch, but that just makes it worse.

Sorry, my email got cut off. I'll post it again...

Adobe reader 11.0.5 - cannot print pdf file to network printer

I have a 64 bit HP Pavilion a6230n PC running Windows 7, fully updated. I have wireless connection to a home file/printer server. My printer, a Brother HL-5140, is connected via USB to the file/printer server. All my other Windows programs capable of printing can print on the network printer - all except adobe reader. Adobe Reader sees the printer and all printing processes appear to be sending the file to the printer, however, the printer never gets the document. I've tried printing as a document, in which case the document sits in the printer queue until I delete it. If I send it as an image, each queue entry is deleted after adobe thinks it has printed. Again, nothing ever prints on the printer, and again, no other program running on my computer has any problems printing to this printer.
I would appreciate any help with this problem.
Addendum - 4 Nov 13:
I uninstalled adobe reader 11 and installed a much earlier version, and now I can print pdf files. Clearly the printing issue is with the current versions of adobe reader.

This phenomenon can happen with PDF files that have errors in them. Adobe Reader or Acrobat may be able to fix these errors, but if you close the application, it will ask to save the corrected file. If you save it once, that should no longer occur when you open it again.
This is just one explanation, but it doesn't explain why that happens with every PDF you have.
Test: does it also happen with a PDF that is not supposed to contain any errors: http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/adobe_reader_reference.pdf ?

New laptop won't print wirelessly to a network printer

I just bought a new laptop running windows 7, and it wont print to my photosmart c5580 that is networked and wired through my computer (desktop) and shared running windows XP. I also know that my computer has to be on for this to happen, I also know that the printer is networked correctly cause I have another desktop that prints fine wirelessly through the network. The laptop recognizes the printer as well as other files that are being shared, I have also downloaded the windows 7 driver for that printer, as well as change the name of the workgroup to match the rest of the computers on the network. Any help will be appreciated.

Hi,
There is a challenge sharing a 32 bit driver from XP to a 64 bit version of Windows 7, as a software installation defaults to 64 bit. The exact opposite happens on a 64 bit XP to 32 bit Windows 7. The solution is to use Add a device, and check the x86 box when prompted. Here are the links to HP documents which should help you resolve the issue:
