Can't Print from Firefox on certain sites/files. Can print them w/IE!

All I get's a blank page.
3.6.10 Windows 7
I have uninstalled, then reinstalled my printer.
Many sites, print just fine, but those with "peripheral" files like PDF will not print.
Examples: Ehow - will NOT print out right.
Example - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problems_printing_web_pages
will not print.
btw - NONE of the solutions on that mozillazine page worked. :(
Would this have to do w/FIREFOX? or my PRINTER? I don't think it's the printer, b/c printer prints anything from IE>
A few months back, Firefox would print anything. Lately, it doesn't. Not sure the change, but I figure it must be a Firefox setting. I'd be forever in your debt for a clue......

I have Firefox ver. 6.0.2 and I also found I could not print a PDF file from the browser. After much hair pulling and strange language I decided to "discover a fix"
1 - The problem is with Firefox!!!
2 - The Fix Is as follows!
3 - Make sure you have the latest Adobe Reader Installed!
4 - In Firefox click on Tools and select Options then Applications and select
under 'Content type' "Adobe Acrobat Document" and
under 'Action' scroll down to "Use Adobe Reader (default)"
5 - Now click OK and any PDF documents will now open in the Reader and
printing the PDF will work !!!!!!!!!!!!

How can I print from Firefox using my Epson Workforce 610 printer?

I call technical support at Epson regarding my Workforce 610 printer because I'd tried to print out an e-mail using my Mozilla FireFox web browser. During the conversation with Epson technical support I learned that my printer does in fact work and wasn't have any connection issues that prevented me from printing. I tried to print 4 times 2 times out of notepad and then Word, then I tried to print my e-mail 2 times using the Mozilla FireFox web browser and neither time was I able to print using Mozilla FireFox's web browser. The technical support rep then suggested I speak to technical support for Mozilla FireFox because she thought there might be a connectivity issue between Mozilla FireFox's web browser and my Epson printer that keeps it from print documents from the web browser.

In Firefox -
File > Print or {Ctrl + P} = is that Epson printer selected in the Printer - Name dialog?

Print icon has dissappered. I can't print from Firefox anymore. How to get print icon back?

Previously I had print icon in Firefox. Then one day Firefox asked to be updated and after update had completed print icon was not there anymore. Also bookmarks look different.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I updated Firefox

Same with me. If it is a xps doc try highlighting what you want to print, or go to the page you want to print and hit ctrl+P. It works for me.

MacBook Pro unable to print from Firefox

Hello,
Fairly new to the mac world. I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and it has been running great! I had no problems printing or creating pdfs from Mozilla's Firefox. After running some regularly scheduled updates, I can no longer print from Firefox, either directly connected to the printer or to create a pdf document. I can print and create pdfs from safari as well as word documents. All my software updates are current. Anyone have any suggestions?

You could try deleting just the FF application from the Applications folder and downloading it again. Your cookies, bookmarks, and history are stored elsewhere so would not be affected.
It's possible that repairing permissions might find an ownership issue. That's the easiest thing to try.

Can not print from Firefox/Linux

Is there anything I can do to get a flash movie to print from
Firefox or some other browser running under Linux?
I created a program in flash that uses both flash and php to
access MySql but when the data is displayed in the movie, it can
not be printed. Tried the browser print button, flash menu and
action script to print but only get blank page.
Any Ideas?
Linux Fedora Core 4, Fedora Core 5, Red Hat Enterprise Linux
ES 4 - Tried Netscape and Firefox.
I have not tried a different distro, could this be a RH
problem?

on peopletools 8.44 firefox is not a certified platform. from peopletools 8.48 they started certifying firefox and safari.
please look into My oracle support for a list of certified browsers and platforms on Peopletools 8.44 release.

All of a sudden I can't print from Firefox. I reinstalled the printer and also reinstalled Firefox. No joy. I can print from Safari.

I have an IMac, OS X 10.5.8
I've had it for more than a year and have always been able to print from Firefox without a problem. I have an HP deskjet 6850 printer.
Now I can't print from Firefox. When I hit print, I get the dialog box but if I click print -- or even click "preview" nothing happens. The dialog box disappears and nothing prints.

I can not print from Firefox, Firefox is not responding

I can not print from Firefox on one PC in my office. At one time printing was operable from Firefox on this PC, the user told me about one month ago Firefox would no longer print.
I went to the users PC - Windows XP Professional SP3 - Firefox opens no problem, I can go to any website, but when I click on the print icon, or file, print, nothing happens. I do not see the print icon in the task bar which shows you something is spooling, printing, I open Task Manager and I see Firefox is Not responding. I must end task.
We can print anything else on the PC, Internet Explorer 8 prints successfully, just Firefox will not print.
I also uninstalled the network printer, re-installed. Connected to another network printer, Firefox still will not print.
I also uninstalled the latest version of Firefox on the PC 15.0.1, went back a few versions and Firefox still will not print.
Can someone assist why Firefox refuses to print and when you try to print Firefox goes to a Not responding status ?
Thanks,
Bob

Can't print from Firefox - "Printer Error- An unknown error occured while printing"

I am unable to print anything from Firefox! I am using Firefox 19.0.2.
I performed a "Reset To Default State" for Firefox yesterday to fix some performance issues. Those issues are resolved, but now I can't print!
I am able to print to 'Microsoft XPS Document Writer' and save as an .xps file. But I am unable to actually print to my HP LaserJet printer.
Here are the steps I have taken trying to resolve the printing issue-
I opened the prefs.js file in WordPad and removed all entries beginning with 'print'.
(When it did not resolve the issue, I restored the prefs.js file with a backup)
I downloaded and installed the latest driver for my printer from HP.
Still unable to print from Firefox after taking those steps. Note that I am able to print from any program other than Firefox.
What steps can I take to fix this issue?

@sklein65
I thank you for your reply. My problem occurred when trying to print to the XPS printer, I found, that, if I disabled the UAC, the problem went away. You may want to give this a try. You can access you UAC by entering 'UAC' in the Window's Search Box. I had an additional problem with my 'Pinned' websites becoming unusable, I traced this down to Firefox version 24 (beta channel). I reverted back to v23.0 and I never had the problem, again. Note, that, all versions of v23.0 worked, the problem occurred when v24 was installed. I disabled all auto updating in Firefox.

Can't print from firefox with HP Pro 8600

I just bought an HP Officejet Pro 8600. I am able to print through Internet Explorer but not Firefox. The printer icon comes on but It just won't print anything. I am using Windows XP.
My second problem is - I can receive faxes and fax to a person with a separate number from their home number. But I can't fax to a person who has the same number as their home phone and fax.
Any help on these 2 issues will be so appreciate!

HI sjane39,
Here is a support page for troubleshooting printing from Firefox. It appears as though if you can print from IE that your print drivers are installed and working properly. It sounds like a setting in Firefox.
Let us know if this helps.
For your fax issue you can run the Fax Diagnostics Test. It will help diagnose and resolve common fax issues.
Also let us know about this one.
Good luck.
If I helped you at all it would be great if you clicked the blue kudos star!

I cannot print from firefox. I can print from open office. It seems to have something to do with when frames open because in IE, I can print a whole page, but when I try to use a print button embeded in a page or frame it does not work.

Cannot print from firefox at all.
In Internet Explorer, I was able to print by pushing the print button, but when opening a frame, like in mapquest, the embedded print button brings up an options window that has print frames options in it, but when hit OK in this box, a second error box comes up with a yellow exclamation point and nothing prints. I have a feeling that it is the same problem with both browsers, but would prefer using firefox. Can you help with this?

Yes, I tried that.   The files were ordered by their original numbers as imported from the camera, but I batched them through Phocoshop to downsize all of them into a more manageable file size.   I opened that destination folder from quick time from where it said select image sequence.   I clicked on the first one and opened it.   The result was a large image with an arrow indicating a movie was ready to go.   When I pressed the arrow, though, I realized it had only imported that one frame so there was no movie.   The files are Jpgs and are about 450 KB each.
    To your knowledge are there any links to iMovie tutorials or quick time tutorials that may address this situation? Maybe there will be one I haven't looked at yet.
    Thanks

I did as benshaine posted in his thread here: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/789780 I installed Firefox 3.5.10 to my desktop, printed from 3.5.10 and then went back into 3.6.x and I could print.

Am unable to print from Firefox (used to be able to) even though I can print from Safari....what should I try?

have an up to date Firefox and was able to print to HP printer from internet until recently. I can print from internet using Safari so am sure that the problem is in some setting from Firefox. The printer is chosen in preferences and it seems to send a message to printer but only blank paper comes out....and ideas of what to try would be appreciated!

Hi timcasey-
I recommend you read this Support article on troubleshooting printing issues:
