I am unable to print anything from any website.

As of a week or so ago, I cannot print anything from Firefox. I'm using FF 3.6.13, and Max OS X 10.6.6 on a 3+ year-old (Intel Core 2 Duo) iMac. I'm connected via ethernet to a Brother laser printer. I am unaware of any change in any element of the computer's hardware or software since before the problem appeared, except the recent OS X update. (See below for why I don't think that's the problem.)
In all other respects Firefox appears to be working correctly: I can open pages, navigate the sites as usual, etc.
I don't get a blank sheet of paper from the printer--I get no response from the printer at all, print preview gives no response, and pdf's created from the print dialog box are blank.
I reset all of the print settings in about:config. No help. I deleted Firefox and all my preferences, reinstalled FF from the Mozilla site; no help.
The only extension I've added is a dictionary, which has not been updated or altered since long before the problem appeared.
The error console has warnings: "Warning: Unknown property '(blah, blah, blah)'. Declaration dropped. Source file: https//addons.mozilla.org/media//css/zamboni/z-min.css?build=cd68cc7" where '(blah, blah, blah)' is "text-overflow", "border-radius", "box-shadow", "-moz-transition", et al.
Error console has a message: "api-secure.recaptcha.net : server does not support RFC 5746, see CVE-2009-3555". Following up on that didn't do me any good either. The description of that issue seemed to focus on sites not opening, which is not my problem.
My wife's MacBook is running the same version of Firefox and OS X (including last week's update to Snow Leopard), and prints to the same printer over the same LAN. (Later model processor and different firmware, though.) No problems printing, just like my iMac was behaving last week.

TS1647 My Macbook Pro will not print anything from any program. I've reinstalled the drivers. I get an error message in Word that says, "Word could not communicate with printer." Any ideas?

Be sure to try restarting, if you have not done so since this problem occurred. You should also power off the printer while you do the restart...
If that does not help, you can try resetting the printing system. Open System Preferences Print & Scan (or Print & Fax) pane. In the sidebar with list of printers, right (control) click anywhere. Select Reset printing system. You will have to add back your printers after you do this.

hp officejet 4500 g510n-z, windows 7, it just prints blank page some text at top and bottom but no directions

Update: This is a known issue in Firefox 4 beta 12. The latest nightly builds availible here fix this problem: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-central/ I was using beta 11 at the time of my reply.

Can no longer print anything from a website when using FireFox. Have updated FF but no other programs added or changed. Get a message "save file as *.xps"

When I try to print, I get a message to save file as *.xps file, but Mozilla stops responding when I try that. Can still print from other browsers.

Hello there,
My name is Luke and i would be happy to assist you with this issue. The reason you are getting this is because your computer's default printer is set to Microsoft XPS Document Writer. If you go to your computer's printer settings and set your favourite printer as the default one this problem will be fixed. If there are any more questions please feel free to reply to me.
Thank you!
Luke

When I am downloading anything from any website in firefox and if I close main window of firefox, the downloading file also gets stops and crashes.

example, I was downloading 74 mb file and as soon as I close firefox window my 74 mb file was downloaded to that size upto which it has been downloaded say 1 Mb for example..

You can set the pref browser.download.manager.quitBehavior to 2 on the about:config page. 
That will make Firefox ask for confirmation if you want to cancel the download if you close Firefox.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.download.manager.quitBehavior
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set
*Preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean)

Print documents from a website

I have a Mac 10.7.4. I downloaded Adobe Reader X (10.1.3) but I cannot see or print documents from any website. What have I done wrong?

No screenshot (don't know how to do that) but I have firefox open with several tabs showing. One of the tabs is the website to download application form for a passport. When I press the link to down load the form a new tab opens but it is blank. I have tried on a few different sites now and it is always the same - press link, new tab opens but it is blank.
Thanks for taking the time to help me.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Using an HP officejet pro 8500 wireless printer and unable to print anything web based/internet

checked wireless connection and it is fine but unable to print anything that is web based like an airline itinerary. McAfee says it is not the firewall. Any ideas?

Are you able to print other things than web based ? Like word documents, etc.
What behaviour you may see while printing from the web?
As well, did you tried the HP Smart Print toolbr Application?

Winidows 8.1 printer issue From a previous post by Associate Professor, an HP Employee
Hopefully one of the following solutions will help you.
If you have seen issues where your laptops/tablets has been taken from a private (home) network to a public network and then not been able to print when returning back to your private (home) network. This is most likely due to the public network settings not being reset back to the private (home) network settings. If this sounds like an issue you are having- try resetting your network settings by following the steps in the documents linked here:
For Ink Printers, please visit this document to help resolve your issue:
Print Jobs are Stuck in Queue
For LaserJets, please visit this document to help resolve your issue:
HP Laserjet - Printer offline and unable to print on a network in Windows 8.1
Install this Microsoft patch to make sure this private-public-private network issue does not reoccur. It is part of the April 2014 Windows Update package for Windows 8.1 and Server2012 R2 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2919355).
If you experience this issue before you apply the patch, you must manually reset your network settings for this patch to function. Please refer to the above documents for manual reset help.

Why can I not print anything from a web page?

Why can I not print anything from a web page?

Thank you, but I still haven't solved my problem. I tried the reset suggestion. But I cannot find print.print_printer preference. Maybe the word "printer" is to be replaced with the name of my printer. But because of the warning that making any changes is a very dangerous thing to do, I hesitated to do anything.
I have located the Print to file option, but it is not checked.
This problem did not exist before the Firefox update of about 6 months ago. Today I downloaded the latest Firefox update, hoping that would solve my problem, but it did not.
Thank you for your continued assistance.
