Can not get firefox to print to any printer

I have a laser jet 4000 shared by a windows 8.1 PC. Firefox seems incapable of printing to anything, I have tried the Microsoft XP writer the laserjet and nothing works. I have reset firefox and removed and reinstalled it. I am running firefox 30.0 I am getting ready to give up and find another browser. Even IE knows how to print seems like a basic function.

What happens when you try to print? Is there an error message, a beep, nothing at all? Or Firefox acts as though it's printing but nothing emerges?

I have tried all can not get firefox to search for website

I run Windows XP.
It all began with the fiollowing error - "could not load xpcom. From there I redownloaded and installed - the foillowing scenario followed on this.
I can not get firefox to connect to the net.
I re downloaded and installed firefox, 3 times, no difference.
My home page shows on my desk top screen - but it clearly does not work as it will not do any searches and connect to other websites.
When trying to use in "Options" it closes the firefox home page, as though I had exited it.
I have now spent 2 days reading and trying all as given in firefox help and community forum - nothing I read fits the bill, or has been of any assistance.
The search field is empty and I can not get it to accept a search engine name like google or any other. I know firefox has a choice - but the pull down choice menu does not open.
I am now at a total loss and desperate to get back to work having wasted 22 days already trying to repair same.
I tried the automatically install add ons as per this very "automatically add" button, but it says Firefox can not modify the required file.
Please help I am desperate!

As I said, I have read about all.
There is no solution there for me - I am not an internet guru and must be honest some of the solution provided seem high tech and beyond me - they refer to certain aspects of the system which I do not see on my computer.
I would like some one to give me a step by step solution if there is one.
It began as follows when I tried to open firefox...
It told me (for some reason) about 5 days ago ..."could not load xpcom."
I have read and read and eventually found what I thought would be the solution. - Reinstall.
I re downloaded/installed the latest version of Firefox. Now the page opens but it is inert - does no searching and does not accept any search engine addition - neither does it provide a choice of search engine as it used to do.
I USED THE FIREFOX PAGE ABOUT 5 DAYS AGO SAME COMPUTER.
I can open various url's which i have saved for research purposes and also things like my bank account to do tfrs. No problem.
My email also works fine.
For some reason the newly installed version of Firefox does not see the internet or react to anything - (have reinstalled 3 times) -neither does it accept anything one types into the search field - when I click to activate the search it simply deletes it.
I need some "help fpr dummies" please
Thank you for your interest to help - much appreciated.

Can not get ipad to print, my ipad mini prints perfectly on same printer

Can not get ipad2 to print, printed the first time set the printer but will not print now. Mini ipad prints just fine on the HP printer. Ipad recognizes printer but will not print to it.

Hello mariamac80,
It sounds like you cannot print from your network printer on your MacBook. Printer issues can be a but tough to nail down, but I would recommend trying the troubleshooting in this article named:
Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3147
Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

I can not get an audio stream from any TV channel on ipad

I can not get an audio stream from any TV channel on my ipad ,please help me fix this problem

Muneer-
What App are you using to get the audio stream? Safari should work unless Flash is involved.
I have used the free NPR App to listen to radio stations, but I don't know if it works with TV stations.

HT4600 Airport Express light is solid green but I can not get on the internet. Any clues as to what is wrong?

Airport Exopress light is solid green, but I can not get on the internet. Does anyone have a suggestion how to fix this?

Would you please provide some more information about your current network so that we can help you? For example, is your AirPort Express the only router in your current network configuration? That is, is it connected directly to a broadband modem or to another router upstream of it? Regardless, what is the make & model of this modem?
When changing network equipment or when setting it up for the first time, it is always a good idea to perform a completer power recycle of your networking equipment. Please check out the following AirPort User Tip for the details.

How to set up LPD printer properly? I just upgraded to Snow Leopard from 10.4. I can not get my laser printer to work.

OK, here is what I have found. Since the printer is on an ethernet network it can not be seen since there is no more apple talk. I must set it up as a LPD printer. Xante tech support has told me how to do this but they are baffled by the fact that it will not print. I am using a Linksys wireless/broadband router.
These are my numbers:
IP 192.168.1.110
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 192.188.1.1
DNS Server" 66.103.237.2.66.103.251.130
Xante has suggested using 192.168.1.112 and the printer is found and the print queue is opened and the following message is in the print queue window: Network host '192.168.1.112' is busy; will retry in 10 seconds... Nothing ever prints.
On this list I have seen a successful connection in the past through an airport connection. I think that the number that Xante has suggested is not correct.
I am able to print to this printer through another computer on the network that has not been upgraded to Leopard.
Any thoughts? Thanks

The best answer to this question requires a little more digging.
More specifically, what spare inputs do you have on the TV, and what video card are you currently driving.
IMHO S-Video is going to give you about a poor a picture as you can get, mostly because of the limited bandwidth and the fact it's based around standard resolution TV (e.g. NTSC signaling).
The best experience would be via HDMI, but for that you'd need a video card with a DVI interface, plus a DVI -> HDMI cable. If you don't have a DVI-based video card and you're OK spending a few dollars that would be your best bet, although off hand I don't know specifically which card you'd need - most of the modern cards are PCI-X or PCIe and won't work in the G4.
If you don't want to replace the card then you'll need to let us know what kind of video card you have in it so that we can find the best match.

My HP printer on the wireless network and I can not get it to print using my iPad

Any ideas on how to get my wireless printer to print using my iPad?

Are you using an Airprint-capable printer? Is it on this list?

If it is, have you updated your firmware. Most printers that say they can be used with Airprint need to have their firmware upgraded before they can actually print using Airprint. HP's support pages provide the FW downloads you will need.

I can not get firefox to work

I have tried on my pc and tablet to get fire fox to work but I cant and their is an assumption on your help that its all straight forward, and I desperately need a better search engine then google for both myself and my partners research for University degrees because to call Google shit would be demeaning to shit as it has great uses in the garden and produces good results while google just reproduces more of itself in between selling you guessed it more shit, im old and only reasonably 'geeky' but would desperately love to use your product as it is as good as you say and would make research a lot easier, cheers dave [ed removed email]

The most reliable way to get Firefox on an Android device is to use the Google Play store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox

I can not get Firefox to recognize my CAC reader or use my CAC reader to access websites requiring CAC login. IE works fine but I do not want to switch back and forth. Any Help?

I have a CAC reader that Firefox does not recognize. It is installed correctly as have all the necessary certificates and IE can use the CAC reader seamlessly. I do not need the CAC to log-on to my computer, just to log-on to certain websites (mostly military).

For users that need to change between certificates of their CAC card, I found in Firefox 4.x you have to import the DOD pki files. To do this follow the instructions at the URL below inside Firefox (do all 4). After successfully completing the imports, restart Firefox and when you get to a DOD website like "DISA web-mail" it will ask you to pick the certificate you would like to use. For the email certificate look at the details of each certificate and find the one that has your email address attached to it. This one you much use for all email certificate authentication.

I added firefox 4 and now I can not get my e-mails or any thing else.

I am not computer savy and I need help>

The "Add-Ons" screen should tell you whether the Norton 360 toolbar is disabled because of incompatibility with Firefox 4. If it is then you have two options:
- you can install the "Add-On Compatibility Reporter" plugin. That will let you enable the Norton toolbar even though it is not supported, but then the toolbar might not work as expected (and it might introduce other problems as well).
- or you can wait for Symantec to release a compatible version of the toolbar (recommended)

I have a new computer. I can not get Firefox to auto-login to any sites. How can I make it so that this new computer functions like every other one I've seen...e.g., it actually remembers what I ask it to?

Cookies are enabled. Sites are checked "remember password" and "automatically log me in." I have checked "yes" to "Do you want firefox to remember the password for this site?" Some sites do auto-fill my username or password, but I still have to go through the process of approving, checking, and clicking, every single time. One example is yahoo mail...but it happens everywhere. It's like every time I access Firefox, it doesn't remember anything.

* Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
* You must allow that cookie (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions), especially for secure websites and if you let cookies expire when Firefox closes
* Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"

Since updating to the new version the work web page that i use will only print 2 pages even if there are more. I can not get it to print all the pages in the document.

for instance....I have a documents that has 6 pages, I can scroll down and see all the pages but when i hit the print button it will only print 2 pages. I tried to change it in the setting part but there is no feature that allows you to change it.

For many years, Firefox has problems printing when some style rules are used. However, I am not aware of any changes for the worse in Fx4 (at least, until now I wasn't aware of any).
A couple of thoughts:
(1) Is it possible you were using an add-on in Fx3.6 that fixed this problem, but the add-on was disabled during the upgrade because it wasn't compatible? (Sometimes that can be fixed with a little hack.)
(2) Are there any obvious settings differences that could be affecting printing, such as fonts, margins, or shrink-to-fit/percentage?
(3) Does the workaround of selecting the entire page (Ctrl+a) and then choosing Selection under Print range in the Print dialog work? Unfortunately, this can slice through lines and images, but it often works around problems with style rules.
In the interest of saving paper, it often is useful to experiment with a PDF printer driver. If you don't have pdfFactory, you can install a trial version for testing: it lets you view the results without first having to save the file. (If you save with the trial version, there is a footer to that effect.)
(4) Is it an HTML5 problem? You can toggle the HTML5 parser off, but this is a global setting, not site-specific. If you are familiar with about:config, filter on html5 and double click '''html5.parser.enable''' to toggle its value from true to false. This helps for some sites, but has no effect on others.

I have a Office Jet Pro 8500 printer and I can not get it to print 8x11 pictures keep getting 4x6.

Have all setting set for 8x11 paper and on final I only get picture to fill 1/4 of sheet. What needs to done to get full 8x11 prints

Can not get photos to print well on a Epson Artisan printer after OS X Yosemite

I have a Epson Artisan 730 Printer. After upgrading to OS X Yosemite all photos are printing poorly. Color is very red based and unreadable. I have upgraded the latest printer firmware. I have upgraded Printer drivers (not sure of the version). I have uninstalled and installed printers several times. Epson website implies they are committed to provided the latest support and drivers but does not say there is a problem. This all started after Yosemite. This is a problem printing from photoshop or printing a JPEG from preview or iPhoto.
I have completed the latest firmware (epson16787) and combined with Printer drivers (2.19) which has resolved the problem. I am posting this to lend help to other having the same issue.
Epson Artisan 730 Firmware: http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?oid=182959&infoType=Dow nloads

There is definitely something wrong, but I couldn't tell you if it's your phone or your computer. I'm on 1.1.1 too and my phone still appears as a device in XP and behaves as it always has.
I can't recommend doing something Apple doesn't want you to do, *but if you are willing (as a last resort)* there is a way to access the file system directly and download the photo files in a way that is similar to how you would from an FTP site with FTP software.
It would require you to go to the site that puts installer on your phone. Once that is done install "open ssh" (to be able to connect to your phone and install "services" (to disable and re-enable ssh as needed for security purposes). Then use a program like winscp (works like other ftp programs but allows different types of connections - in this case an scp connection) to connect to your phone. The camera role is located in: \var\root\media\DCIM\100APPLE\. From there you can copy them to any location on your PC.
If you phone is showing up as empty when you connect it to your computer then there might be something wrong with the area the photos are stored in, or maybe it's too full. I don't know what the limit is or if there is a limit. Just bouncing around some ideas.
