Cannot print a web page since recent update to Apple Snow Leopard

After recent update to Mac OS 10.6.4 I cannot print any page when using Firefox. I tried using Apple Safari and there was no problem
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After recent update to Mac OS 10.6.4

This is a Firefox printing issue that I just fixed for my 85 year old Mom (birthday present). Other people have the same problem so I'm posting the solution:
Go to address bar in Firefox--
Type in this:
about:config'''
Click I AGREE on the warning
Find -- '''print.macosx.pagesetup-2'''
'''RIGHT CLICK on your mouse'''
and go to '''RESET'''

  • How to fix extremely slow printing from web pages with latest updates (iMac) & HP Office jet printer. (It was not a problem with earlier versions of Firefox & same computer & printer.)

    The latest two updates of Mozilla Firefox are not useful for me because of extremely slow printing of web pages. It was never a problem before. Same iMac and HP officejet printer. How can I either fix it, or revert to an earlier version of the browser (without losing all my bookmarks) which didn't cause this problem?

    Try scanning from your Mac.  Use Image Capture app in your Applications folder.
    Click once on the scanner on the left side, then click on Show Details along the bottom.  Along the right side you will see LOTS of options for scanning and saving.

  • Cannot print a web page that prints fine in IE9

    I'm trying to print a web page in Firefox, but when I do the print preview it has web info at the top of the page but the rest is blank, the second page displays just fine, then all the other pages behind it are completely blank.
    If I try to print a web page of the Firefox site it works great.
    If I try to print the problem web page in IE9 it works great.
    I tried to follow your instructions about:config then filter print.print_printer....however my config list doesn't have that file.

  • I cannot print a web page when in Firefox but it does print other info.

    When I try to print a web page in Firefox I get multiple pages of what looks like programing information. It starts with a line that looks like this %!PS-Adobe-3.0. The next line gives the title of the website and then the creator and then date and goes on and on. It then changes to a line that reads %%BeginProlog and then %% BeginResource: file Pscript_WinNT_ErrorHandler 5.0 0 followed by multiple pages of junk. I went to another browser and was able to print a web page. Is there a setting that needs changed in FireFox or is something blocking the correct printout.

  • Since updating to Firefox 4.0.1 I cannot print a web page, why?

    I can print fine from regular printing but I cannot go into printer properties, it says "prop res DLL not loaded". I tried reinstalling the printer driver and same thing happens. This has been happening since I updated firefox to 4.0.1. What can I do?

    I simply cannot print, either from the icon, cntrl-P, or drop down menu - nothing happens. Do not get the dll message. I have Windows 7.

  • I cannot print a web page while I am in Firefox. It will print a webpage from explorer, though. Printer is working fine.

    I simply would like to print what I might see as a web page on the scree. I do not see a "print" option anywhere, even when I right click on the screen.. I also cannot see the "tools" icon anywhere.

  • New iMac with OS x Lion.  Printing envelopes w/ Address book makes a second blank envelope. Drivers up to date. Have to mark print only first page. Had no problem with Snow Leopard. How to correct.

    I recently purchased a new iMac with OS x Lion. Previously was using a four year old iMac with snow Leopard. I have three HP printers with up to date drivers for Lion.  When I try to print an envelope from Address Book I have two problems:
    1) I have to change the orientation to vertical to get the proper margins, which I never had to do before and
    2) It prints a second blank envelope unless I tell it to only print the first page.
      Neither of the problems occurred with my previous iMac/w Snow Leopard  and it appears to be a Lion/HP software incompatibility. I have worked with a Apple supervisor (Case # 316225300) for hours and finally reinstalled the operating system to no avail.
    I do I correct both problems???

    Contact HP and ask them to write better drivers for Lion. Find a printer that is more compatible with Lion. I've not printed envelopes with Lion before, though I've had no difficulty with either Epson Artisan 810 or Canon MX700 for regular printing.  Sometimes open source drivers also work better than manufacturer drivers.  See this FAQ*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/printersx.html
    While many open source drivers won't give you duplex or printer diagnostics, at least they may work better for other features. 
    Lastly, I've often found for a more consistent print, saving as PDF, and then printing from Preview can sometimes be the best work around.  Someone in the Mac OS X Technologies forum might be able to help you write an automator script to do this in one fell swoop, if you find it works better for your needs.

  • Officejet 6600 - Cannot Print from any application since Vista Update on 10/15/14

    Our wireless connected printer had been working fine.  On 10/15/14, updates from MS were installed.  After that, we can generate test pages from HP Printer Assistant but no other application prints.  That includes all MS Office projects, notepad, and any web browser.
    We've run the HP Print Doctor and it indicated that there are no problems.  We have since attempted to restore to the last checkpoint before the install and the restore fails. 
    Has anyone else run into this problem?

    Hey @KPL12345 ,
    Thank you for taking the time out of your day to ask that question on the HP Forums today!
    I understand that you are experiencing no response from your printer after upgrading to Windows Vista.
    Try uninstalling the software using this document >>Uninstalling the Printer Software
    Installing the software using this document >>Setting Up the Printer for a Wireless or Wired Network for the HP Officejet 6600 e-All-in-One and 67...
    After you have done that, try to print. If you can not print then run the Print and Scan Doctor again.
    Hope this helps, let me know.
    I worked for HP.

  • How do I print a web page and email a link to a web page?

    I cannot print a web page like I could with earlier Firefox versions. Nor can i email a link to a web page. nor can I load google toollbar. i am very disappointed with firefox for not supportring these features.

    Hi
    1: here's (probably) the why : http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12169422&#12169422
    2: That's tough, if you're lucky someone wrote a handy Safari extension to modify print styles - otherwise it'd be tricky.

  • I cannot type a web page on my iphone5 on the search or enter website name window of safari. as I type w the system brings me back to the phone main screen. This has happened since I updated to the new iOS 8

    I cannot type a web page on my iphone5 on the search or enter website name window of safari. as I type w the system brings me back to the phone main screen. This has happened since I updated to the new iOS 8

    You haven't mentioned any steps you might have tried to correct this so I'll suggest you try the first troubleshooting step. Reset your iPhone. Press and hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the buttons and let the device restart. No data will be lost doing this. It's like rebooting a computer.

  • Cannot print from web sites after update to FF 7.0.1

    cannot print from web sites after update to FF 7.0.1
    Printing from my email account (Cox) is OK
    System Windows Vista

    When my wife updated Firefox to version 7.0.1 she was no longer able to print items from the web such as coupons. She can print from her email (Cox) account.
    She is running Vista.
    When I updated to Firefox 7.0.1, I did not have a problem. I am running Vista also.
    Tried using the Firefox help page but no help so far.
    I did notice that on her computer in the "Plugins" for Firefox that HP Smart Web Printing is now disabled and is not compatible with Firefox 7.0.1. She had no problems until she did the update.

  • Printing from web pages is excruciatingly slow with most recent upgrades of Firefox .Use an iMac and an HP officejet printer. Printer works fine with Safari and woodprocessed files, but not with Firefox and web pages.

    Printing from web pages is excruciatingly slow since downloading most recent upgrades of Firefox Mozilla. I have a desktop iMac, OS 10.6.8, and an HP officejet printer 4500 G510n. The printer works fine with the Safari Browser and with woodprocessed files, but not with Firefox and web pages. Help please! It used to print fast with earlier versions of Firefox.

    Hello and welcome to the Apple Discussions Forum.
    I have hardly any experience with HP printers but since your posting has not been replied to yet I thought I'd offer some assistance.
    With the printer status and ink levels working, it shows that you have a connection to the printer. So I would look at the issue being with the protocol being used for the print queue on the Mac.
    Since you have XP and Vista working, I would check the printer queue configuration on either box. In XP, go to the Properties and select Ports. Click the Configure Port tab to view the connection. If you are using RAW, then this is known as HP Jetdirect-Socket on OS X. So if you are not sure what protocol was used before I would create another printer queue, this time selecting IP > HP Jetdirect-Socket. Then enter your IP address and select the K5400dn from the Print Using menu.
    If this still fails to print then please reply. There may be limitations with adding the HP driver this way that I am not aware of. There may also be other driver options you can look at, such as HPIJS. If Greg Sahli reads this posting he has expert knowledge on this matter and will be able to offer some guidance.
