My windows default printer is an HP 2015, but when I print anything from Firefox it defaults to Adobe. Can I fix this?

When I try to print from Firefox, the Adobe PDF printer is pre-selected in the printer dialog box, even though my default windows printer is a laser jet.
Both printers work just fine, but changing printers every time is a nuisance.
This happens whenever I print anything on Firefox, including emails.

Sorry, Firefox doesn't use the Windows "default printer" as the default printer, but rather it uses the last used printer as the "default". That doesn't always happen when the printer involved goes into stand-by and is "offline", from what I have seen on my small LAN.
Just one of the hundreds of print related Bugs or nuisances in Firefox that I doubt will ever be fixed, until they write all new code for printing

  • Flash 14.0.0.145 is crashing. Using on Windows 8 PC with Firefox 31.0. How can I fix this?

    Just started about a week ago. Have latest versions of Firefox and Flash plug-in. Checked all the suggestions on the support site and nothing helped. Can watch videos using Flash on IE, so appears to be a Firefox/plug-in issue.

    You can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions and try this:
    *check for updates for your graphics drive drivers<br>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

  • My 8600 Hp printer used to select either tray 1 or 2. Now it doesn't. How can I fix this?

    My HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer used to print between trays 1 & 2 (1 being letter and 2 being legal). Now, suddenly I find I am only given the option of printing from tray 1 and must remove it and insert tray 2 before I can print legal-size paper. How do I fix this, or is it a new problem with HP?

    Hi @bizygirl,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I gather that tray 2 of your Officejet 8600 printer is not being recognized.
    I have included the The Printer Does Not Pick Up Paper From Tray 2, or Tray 2 Is Not Recognized document. It will walk you through the required trouble shooting steps for the tray not being recognized.

  • My printer (HP8500) is wi-fi connected to my imac and my macbook. works fine from macbook, but has stopped working on the imac--shows offline. How can I fix this? Thanks

    I have an iMac and MacBook Pro, both running Snow Leopard at current maintenance levels. I have an HP8500 printer connected via wi-fi. All have been working well until just recently. Now, the iMac cannot communicate with the printer. The printer icon shows offline. The printer is still online to the MacBook. I suspect a related problem is that when I try to access files on the MacBook from the iMac, I get a message that they are unavailable, but re-clicking once or twice to re-try works and the files are accessible. The only problem is that I cannot modify them from the iMac, even though the sharing options are set for update capability.
    Resetting the printer and re-booting the iMac don't help.

    Yosemite is a big problem.
    I recommend you factory reset the TC and start over.
    Factory reset universal
    Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
    N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
    Redo the setup from Yosemite.. it needs to be directly involved in the setup to remember anything.
    Please use short names.. no spaces and pure alphanumeric. eg TCgen5 base station name. TCwifi as wireless name.
    Set password WPA2 Personal security which is pure alphanumeric mixed case and numbers.
    Please empty out all the old wireless names from your devices.. reboot them and rediscover the network.
    If it still fails tell us.

  • The Windows 7 pop up screen at the bottom toolbar does not function with Firefox 4. Instead there are now tabs on top. The Windows 7 feature was handy because one could easily see which pages you're working on. How can I fix this?

    One of the Windows 7 features is the pop up box icon at the bottom toolbar which displays which pages are open when scrolling over it. After installing Firefox 4 this function does not work anymore, instead it was replaced by Firefox tabs above.

    I believe you are talking about taskbar previews. To enable them you need to change a hidden preference.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # Locate the preference '''browser.taskbar.previews.enable''' and double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''

  • I can' print anything from firefox (emails, web pages, etc.) I get blank pages from my printer.

    Whenever I go to the print option in the file menu, my pages do not print. Blank pages come out of the printer. I have checked all of the setup that I know. This is not a problem if I go to Google Chrome or other browser. Only a problem with firefox. Even on the print preview it shows up blank. Any suggestions?

    Sorry, Firefox doesn't use the Windows "default printer" as the default printer, but rather it uses the last used printer as the "default". That doesn't always happen when the printer involved goes into stand-by and is "offline", from what I have seen on my small LAN.

  • I am using Photoshop CS3 and the image looks ok on screen, but when I print the image is greenish.

    I have checked with the printer's help desk and they say that this problem is not the printer, and there are no settings to change on the printer. Adobe no longer supports CS3. The immages look OK on screen, but when I print the page, the immage comes out kinda greenish, (more like, quite greenish). I don't know how to fix this problem or where to adjust any settings. Also to mention, the images are completed after a 2 day process, and this musst be done by Dec 22, 2011. Are there simple print options that will fix this problem?

    You're getting into color management territory here and you need to target troubleshooting more specifically.
    Basically you have a document profile that defines the colors. That profile is then converted (translated) into
    1. A monitor profile for display, and
    2. A printer/paper/ink profile for print.
    If both profiles are good you'll get a reasonable match (allowing for the inherent differences between screen and paper).
    If they don't match either could be wrong. So first off, is the monitor calibrated, or are you using the Windows default (sRGB), or a manufacturer provided profile?
    Second, printer color management can be a bit obscure in that some manufacturers "hide" color management by doing it all under the hood and expecting sRGB input. Others, like Epson, allow you to pick the profile. This makes everything more transparent and makes troubleshooting much easier.
    EDIT: cross post.

  • I have recently updated my CC programs to the latest version and now all of my files wont open by default into their respective programs, only if I open the program and go to file open and open the file from there. How can I fix this?

    I have recently updated my CC programs to the latest version (CC2014) and now all of my files wont open by default into their respective programs, only if I open the program and go to file>open and open the file from there. How can I fix this?
    I have tried 'Open with' and the version of the program now installed on my computer isn't even suggested as an option and when I browse for it, the file wont open with it anyway

    On Windows (don't know about Mac), the latest version will always take over the file association, and become the default for indd files. It's impossible to change it.
    But there is a plugin for ID that makes this possible. Never tried it myself.

    All of a sudden I can no longer open tabs by clicking "+" or right clicking on the tool bar. To open a new page, I have to open a whole new Firefox window. How can I fix this?
    Also, Firefox crashes frequently. Is there a fix for this also?

    Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox 3.6 that prevents new tabs from being opened.
    There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
    * Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
    * Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons
    For the second issue, the [[Firefox crashes]] support article may help.

    I can save the page, open in Adobe Reader and print. When in the browser the File - Print command does nothing. Printer screen does not open.
    Windows XP, all updates installed.

    Hi,
    One thing to slow it down: low ink. Please check ink cartridges and replace if required.

  • Printer works on every program except trying to print anything from Firefox. Blank pages everytime.

    Using Windows XPproffesional & current Firefox 4.0.1. Printer works on every program except anything from Firefox,.blank page every time. When I hit File>Print; the "Print Frames" section in lower left hand box has no options checked and is unaccessible. Printing works fine in Explorer.

    edmeister; thanks for trying to help. I reset the printer per the instructions you provided and also checked that I wasn't printing to file. Even unistalled Firefox, and installed 3.6; same thing happened. So, I uninstalled 3.6 and reinstalled 4.0; still having same problem. But, can still print in IExplorer?

  • Clicking a link opens a smaller window, not a maximized window, how can I fix this?

    When I click links that open in a new window, that new window is not maximized, like the browser window that I used to click the link. How can I fix this?
    I prefer using new windows instead of new tabs, and I have been doing this forever. I had turned OFF the automatic updates for Firefox, but this newest update was installed anyway. If there is no setting to open all new links in windows the same size as the main window, is there an option to revert this update?

    Hi Mumps,
    There is a feature in Firefox that forces window.open() to open in a new window.
    browser. block. target_new_window
    Reference (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_:_FAQs_:_About:config_Entries)
    Same window size should be default. It should open the window of the same size. Try to reset firefox if this is not happening. (about:support page > Reset)
