Emails printed from FIREFOX have spaces between letters

Same email printed from INTERNET EXPLORER prints fine
A document in WORD prints fine
Has been working fine for weeks; just today, received an email, printed it (on FIREFOX) and got spaces between letters - spread out (UNREADABLE)
Tried a few other emails, same thing happened
An older email I had printed previously, that had printed fine, I printed again today: and it printed with spaces between letters.
I've reset settings - problem still occurs
Please advise

That is caused by a Bug in Firefox 4.0b12. It was fixed in Monday's Minefield nightly 4.0b13pre development version. The fix will be in the Firefox 4.0 Release Candidate.

Firefox web pages often print with many extra spaces between letters, making the printout illegible and useless..

When I try to print e-mails in Thunderbird and web pages in Firefox, the individual letters usually print (either to my laser printer or to Acrobat Distiller) with many spaces between each letter, making the printout nearly illegible and useless. Any thoughts? And settings that would correct this? (I never had this problem before the last few months, using earlier versions of Firefox and Thunderbird.

about:config has many listings for each of my printers, but instead of starting with "print.print_printer" [naming the printer], most listings that name a printer start with "print_printer" or simply printer_[printer name]. I don't want to reset all the listings, not knowing beforehand if that would be advisable.

PRINTING FROM FIREFOX I GET BLACK LETTERS ON A BLACK BACKGROUND WHICH IS UNREADABLE. WHY?

I have very low vision so I have the screen colors in Firefox set to black background with white letters. When printing anything from anywhere in Firefox, web site screen or this screen, I will get a black piece of paper. It prints the black screen background but prints black letters on it which is unreadable. It also wastes lots of ink. I cannot use anything with a white (or light colored) background, I am so dazzled bu the screen that I can't see anything.
It would be useful if the printing output colors could be set to ignore any special colors set on the screen.
I have the same problem with Thunderbird. I can't print my emails.

When printing from Firefox I get random letters, numbers, boxes.

This happens when I print from email and Firefox. Sometimes I get the random letters, numbers and boxes with a small phrase with correct spelling. For example, this happened when I tried to fill out a US passport form. The form itself was okay. What I typed in printed with the random letters, numbers, boxes except for my husband's occupation. That printed okay.

How do I do a screenshot? Sorry, I am not very computer literate.
Another problem. Since I changed to UTF 16BE we no longer can access our bank account. It allows us to log in but goes to the squares, letters, and numbers when we open the account statement. I am not sure what the code was before I switched to UTF 16 BE.

Since the last update I have been unable to print from Firefox. No problem printing from Safari or any other program. I've seen a few responses to this problem but only to people running Windows. I'm on a Mac running v. 10.5.8

Also when I click on the link in my email to activate my account (in the hopes that a solve will be emailed to me) I get this message -
"Something is wrong
We could not activate your account. Please make sure that you have clicked the correct link in your email or typed in the correct address."
Same message if I cut and paste the link.

I cant print from firefox 3.6.6. anymore (but it works for emails), I'm on OS X 10.5.8

I cant print from firefox 3.6.6. anymore (but it works for emails), I'm on OS X 10.5.8:
URGENT, I NEED TO PRINT TODAY !
whenever I need to print something from a web page it doesn't connect to my printer (Samsung ML-1270) but my printer works fine and I have no problems printing e-mails
== a while ago already with older versions of firefox, but I didn't realize the problem is firefox so I can't tell exactly when it started

Posted this elsewhere too; odd thing is both Safari AND Chrome work just fine. Did the suggestions but nothing fixed it, including deleting the app and trying to downgrade to a couple of versions back.
Printing or even print preview on FF results in a blank page. Tried updating the "Add On" but that didn't do anything either. May have to give up on using FF. This is for my mother-in-law's machine and it works fine on my MacBook Pro at home. She's using an iMac with OS X 10.6.4 and this started with a recent upgrade.

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

This question was solved.

If the DPI(dots per inch) is under 100, the printer will not print the picture because it would be too low in quality. Pull the picture up on the computer, right click on it and click on properties, Check out the horizontal and vertical DPI and see if both of those numbers are least 100. Have you tried to connect the iPhone to the same network as the printer and try to AirPrint the pic? The AirPrint route does not have the same DPI requirements as the ePrint .

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.
please try to use IE as a default browser.

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.

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.

Cannot print from Firefox

For some time now I cannot print from Firefox. I thought it might be a glitch after an update, but have updated again since and it still does not work. If I try to print to a printer, nothing happens. If choose print and then save to PDF it seems to work, but then when I try to open the file I get an error message from Adobe saying "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired.". On the other hand, I can print and save to PDF from Safari without any problem. I am using Mac OSX 10.5.8, Firefox 6.0.2.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi,
Please do a CLEAN install:
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a Clean reinstall. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
Note: You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
Windows:
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
Mac: Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
Linux: If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see Install Firefox on Linux. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.

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.
