I can't print anything from Firefox. I get blank pages

Ever since I downloaded the previous update, I can't print anything from Firefox. I just downloaded version 3.6.8 and I have the same problem. I am using a Mac with OS 10.6. Whenever I try to print an email or a web page from Firefox I get a single blank page.
I can print fine from Safari. Firefox worked fine until I installed version3.6.5 (or whatever the previous version was)

Thanks I will check out the site!

Why can I no longer Print anything from Firefox after installing 28.0?

Since upgrading to 28.0, I can no longer print anything from within the Firefox browser. My other applications continue to print normally, but whenever I try to print anything from Firefox, I get a "A print error has occurred" message. The Print Preview page displays only a blank, gray window. Prior to upgrading I had no problems.

Can you try to access Firefox in Safe Mode to see if the problem still exists and/or if it opens? You can follow the below instructions to start it in that mode.
*Go to Help > Restart with add-ons disabled
*When Firefox closes and re-opens, select ''Start in Safe Mode''
If Firefox works fine after starting in Safe Mode, then it's most likely one of your extensions misbehaving. You can enable your add-ons back on by one until you find the conflicting extension.

My windows default printer is an HP 2015, but when I print anything from Firefox it defaults to Adobe. Can I fix this?

When I try to print from Firefox, the Adobe PDF printer is pre-selected in the printer dialog box, even though my default windows printer is a laser jet.
Both printers work just fine, but changing printers every time is a nuisance.
This happens whenever I print anything on Firefox, including emails.

Sorry, Firefox doesn't use the Windows "default printer" as the default printer, but rather it uses the last used printer as the "default". That doesn't always happen when the printer involved goes into stand-by and is "offline", from what I have seen on my small LAN.

Printer works on every program except trying to print anything from Firefox. Blank pages everytime.

Using Windows XPproffesional & current Firefox 4.0.1. Printer works on every program except anything from Firefox,.blank page every time. When I hit File>Print; the "Print Frames" section in lower left hand box has no options checked and is unaccessible. Printing works fine in Explorer.

edmeister; thanks for trying to help. I reset the printer per the instructions you provided and also checked that I wasn't printing to file. Even unistalled Firefox, and installed 3.6; same thing happened. So, I uninstalled 3.6 and reinstalled 4.0; still having same problem. But, can still print in IExplorer?

I can' print anything from firefox (emails, web pages, etc.) I get blank pages from my printer.

Whenever I go to the print option in the file menu, my pages do not print. Blank pages come out of the printer. I have checked all of the setup that I know. This is not a problem if I go to Google Chrome or other browser. Only a problem with firefox. Even on the print preview it shows up blank. Any suggestions?

Firefox updated itself to 3.6.9 and now I can't print anything from an open page, because HP Smart Web Printing doesn't work with this version. What's a replacement extension?

"An unknown error occurred while printing."

I have the exact same problem. I updated to 3.6.12 and encountered the "blank page" printing problem. I ended up re installing Firefox 3.0.19. Printing works great. Also Firefox 3.5.15 gave the same blank page printing problem. I also installed "Better privacy" and " Ghostery"at the time of updates. These programs do not run under the 3.0.19 version. Not sure if if they are related to the problem. Good luck and hope a solution to the problem comes about.

I can't print anything from my officejet 8600.

I've been trying to print to my Officejet Pro 8600 via e-print. I use a Chromebook. Nothing is going through. Google Cloud Print shows the jobs having printed, while the e-print center shows them as failed. Either way, I don't have anything printed.
Suggestions?

I am having a potentially similar problem with an HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 n011a attached to a Samsung Series 3 Chromebox. It was printing flawlessly and then I had a problem with a paper jam, after which print jobs for PDF files initiated from the Chromebox and my Chromebook were failing. I tried a document that was failing from the WIndows dialog of my PC configured for this unit, and the job printed fine. I then tried a small Google Docs-format file from the Cloud Print dialog on the PC, that worked fine. I then tried the same file from the Cloud Print dialog from my Chromebox and that worked fine. I then tried a page from the PDF document that failed several times and that failed again. I then tried another PDF file in Google Docs via Cloud Print, that also failed. For all failed documents, when you log in the eprintcenter you can see them there with a message FAILED but no diagnotic information. Typical message:
FAILED https://doc-14-4o-docsviewer.googleusercontent.com/viewer/securedownload/6f91bocmg8ljku6057743u3ra57...
Not having logged into my PC lately, when I did I was noticing that there was an update for Adobe Reader that had to be installed before I could view the PDF file via Google Docs. Once I loaded it, I was able to view the document successfully and use the Windows print dialog and to queue the job to the printer. However, I also noted that you cannot select Cloud Print as an option anymore when you choose the print icon for a PDF document that you're viewing in Google Docs. Perhaps there's a correlation, here - perhaps the Adobe Reader software is not processing the file properly in Chrome OS machines. I will raise this as an issue from that angle also.

Can't print anything from Chromium anymore

Hello,
So I wanted to print a web page from chromium, I pressed CTRL+P as usual, but the pop up window I am used to see did not appear this time. Using the "Print" entry from the menu didn't work either.
However, as soon as I pressed CTRL+P or clicked the Print entry, chromium became very slow, I could hardly open a new tab, close an existing one...
What I have tried without any success:
- Starting chromium from a terminal, in order to see if anything special was happening => Nothing
- Downgrading from chromium 23.0.1271.91-1 to chromium-23.0.1271.64-1-x86_64.pkg.tar => The issue remained unsolved
Anyone else noticed this ?
Thanks !

Just updated to chromium 23.0.1271.95-1, the problem still occurs
No one else but me is experiencing it ?

Why does printing from firefox yield a blank page?

When printing on-line, the preview pane is blank and when selecting print, it puts out a blank page. I can print fine from Safari, but not firefox. I use a Macbook with OSX 10.6 operating system.

It sounds like you have a driver issue. What printer do you have? How is it connected? What operating system?

What is happening to Firefox? So user unfriendly since you changed to Yahoo. I can't print anything from web without first saving to documents. Boo!

For the first time - today i tried to print a map search. Was forced to "save" to documents from which it could be printed. Next needed something from another web site - same story. WHY are you doing this to me? All I want to do is a simple print from the web without getting a big dose of heartburn. Where is my Nexium? I need to take a dozen right now.
Now to go unclutter my documents.

hello, you may have an issue with adware/malware related on your pc (this won't have anything to do with the impending search engine change, which didn't happen yet). please perform all these steps:
# [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
# afterwards go to the firefox menu ≡ > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
# finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] and [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.

Can not print PDF from Firefox anymore....Started with "upgrade" to 29.0

....and neither can any of my clients! ALL of the documents on my website are PDF format. My clients print from this website on a daily basis. I am not going to ask 300+ clients to "workaround". When will you fix?

This is a problem in the version of the built-in PDF Viewer included in Firefox 29. You may be able to update the viewer using an extension, or you can switch to using the Adobe Acrobat plugin for viewing PDFs until the next Firefox update. This article has the steps for that: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]].

Can't print emails from Firefox

Firefox is my browser.

Usually Firefox's built-in popup blocker won't block a window if you clicked a link or button to open it. It is designed to block windows that open without you taking a specific action.
One possibility is that the link/button is in a part of the page that is "blocked" by an invisible element. Another possibility is that the script that opens the window is not running correctly.
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

I can't print anything using firefox. My printer works fine with I.E. or Safari. Firefox is my default browser and I want to be able to print using it.

I've tried several different pages and websites and none of them will print. I'm using Windows 7 on a brand new Dell computer and Dell printer.
Please help me.
