Firefox crashes when printing from the web.

Mac user with OS 10.4.11 (Tiger). Have had repeated problems with Firefox in all versions crashing when trying to print from the web or using print preview before printing. Currently have Frefox v3.6.16 for MAC. Am printing to an HP 1315 AIO and HP 1210 AIO printers. Very irritating! Can copy paste web stuff to Word and print OK. Problem went away with OS 10.6 and Firefox 4 on my new MAC.

Inconclusive Evidence, I have tried all of your recommendations with no success. I can print with any other applications, just not Firefox, so I know it is not a problem with my driver. I'm stuck as to what to do at this point. Any other tips? Thanks for your help!

Deskjet F4480: what causes horizontal gaps when printing from the web?

I just installed a Deskjet F4480 printer. I'm using Windows 7 64-bit. Printing a word-processing document works just fine - no problems. Printing from a web page, however, produces horizontal streaks or gaps in the print. The bottom of some lines is clipped off. How can I correct this?

Hi Michael,
Thanks for the suggestion, I tried USB, Ethernet and FAXing in a document. All three print with the horizontal gaps. The funny thing is that the copy (both color and blk/white) print out just fine. I've run the available maintance functions serveral times, with no improvements. I wound up purchasing another Canon Printer, because of being a need to print bind. But would still like to get this one working, as I was very statisfied with it.
Thanks, Roman...

When printing from the web, ie UPS or credit card processing services, pages will not print through firefox, WHY?

I have been using firefox for my web browser for years, and run some business applications through the internet, like shipping via UPS, and Charging credit cards. When having to print labels or receipts there was never an issue, until today. While trying to ship our largest order yet via UPS, the labels would not print, a label i presented in a pop up and should print. However, nothing from the firefox windows will print today. WHY? Stephen
PS, the shipment was the largest one to date by the way, and the most important, everything went smoothly up until Firefox.... What a drag.

You're right: most web pages do not use frames, so that option usually is not available.
I don't know why a page that printed just the main content before would change to printing with useless sidebars. Can you try the site in Firefox's Safe Mode and see whether it prints/previews correctly there?
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, try starting Firefox in Firefox
[http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode]. Be careful not to "reset" anything permanently if you didn't back up.
Does that fix it? If so, the difference usually is caused by one of your add-ons. You can restart the regular way and disable all non-essential add-ons here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Add-ons
In particular, check the Extensions category.

Firefox crashes when printing from screen - ( Bug 1043451 ) Mac

Why do I get "Fuzzy Text" when printing from the web?

A short time ago I was able to print text from Internet webpages and my school website. Now the text is coming out fuzzy when I try to print. I can print Word and PDF documents OK. But not PDF documents saved from the websites.

In Excel, right click and choose Format Chart Area. In the dialog at the left, choose Fonts. Change the font to Arial or something other than Calibri (Theme Body). Then copy/paste.

How can i choose a lower quality print density when printing from firefox on my Mac. I cant move the slider along the scale ( I can when printing from the computer).

I can't change the print density when printing from Firefox. It is set at standard and although there is a "slider button" to use for choosing less or more density, it can't be moved. I can tick "grayscale". I can choose the density when printing from the computer. I have a Mac

I also have this problem where I used to be able to shrink a 2 page doc to a single page. Since upgrade to FF4 it no longer works - but you can choose say 60% and it will work. All used to work fine in FF3

Cannot print from the web although everything else prints ok - when asked to print I get one blank page then nothing

I cannot print from the Web all else prints OK the printer throws out a plain sheet of paper and the print preview is blank
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== about six weeks

Try This!
1) Go to Print Preview
2) Print
3) Name: HP PSC 2100 series (depend on your printer)
4) Properties...
5) Paper size: letter
6) Change to Paper size: A6
7) OK
8) Repeat step 4 again
9) Change back again Paper size: letter
10) OK
11) Don't print, but go back to Print Preview again and see if it works
This is the one that have work for me after trying several times modifying about:config with no success. Good luck and hope that will help.

I need to print from the web. I cant, Why?

I have the latest version of Firefox. Now I cant print from the web. I need to print Bank and legal documents in PDF format and now since Firefox upgrades itself, I cant print. Why?
I have to install and use IE. I have not used IE for over 10 years. When are you going to fix this. Can I go back to an older version of Firefox without loosing my Favorites? I use Windows7 Pro, I have a HP printer.
This is my second time for writing about this problem.

Worthless. But thanks for taking absolutely no time to understand the initial complaint. Should you decide to do more than a quick forum search, the initial complaint is about a sudden inability to print to PDF. It's is NOT about printer issues.
But, again, you've already done so much. Don't trouble yourself. You either, Mozilla.

I have no Canon toolbar so I can't print from the Web on my printer

I have a Canon MG5120 multi-printer and when on Firefox the only thing that prints from the web is the time and date border, not the main body of whatever I'm trying to print, like an email or online article. I'm running XP, and I have the Canon toolbar on IE.

Try to reset the print prefs. See:
[[Fix printing problems in Firefox]]
[[How to print websites]]

Can't print from the web

no matter what i do i can not get any part of a web page to show up in "print preview" and therefore I can not print from the web. Using an HP Officejet Pro L7580 All in one, running Vista 32 bit, and IE 9. Have already uninstalled and reinstalled printer, drivers, etc. Any ideas?

Hi there I hope you are doing well and sorry to learn that you are having this issue;
when you reinstalled the printer did you download the latest driver,firmware from the HP site? If you did not GO HERE.

Please download and run the HP print and scan doctor .

When printing off the web, I get very wide margins. a 2-page article, will print in 46 pages!

When printing off the web, I get very wide margins. a 2-page article, will print in 46 pages!

Try resetting your printer margins in '''about:config'''.
Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. <br />
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
Filter = '''print_margin'''
Right-click and select '''Reset''' for both '''''margin_left''''' and '''''margin_right''''' for that particular printer, and then restart Firefox. If you have ever used other "printers" in that Firefox Profile, you'll have separate groups of preferences listed for each printer.

HP 309c wireless printer. How do I get it to print from the web?

I have two wireless laptops. The older one prints perfectly. The new one prints from Word and pdf files. When I attempt to print from the web, the ink mechanism in the printer goes back and forth inside sounds like it is producing a document, however, when the paper comes to the tray, there is nothing but a blank sheet of paper. I have unplugged everything, reinstalled the printer, cleaned the rollers and it still continues to produce a blank sheet of paper. Any suggestions?

Since the printer can produce good prints using certain PCs and software, it is not a printer problem. It is likely a software problem.
What operating system are you using? Are you using Internet Explorer 8 as your browser? Do you have HP WebPrint installed?
