I can't print from firefox

When I go to print an email or webpage in Firefox all that happens is that a page goes through the printer and comes out blank. When I try to print the same pafge from Safari it prints fine.
I'm on a Mac and running Firefox 3.6.11

Also can't print from FF 3.6.12, but it doesn't crash. There's no error message, no job gets queued to the printer. Other applications (including Safari) print without a problem.

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'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.

I can not print from Firefox, Firefox is not responding

I can not print from Firefox on one PC in my office. At one time printing was operable from Firefox on this PC, the user told me about one month ago Firefox would no longer print.
I went to the users PC - Windows XP Professional SP3 - Firefox opens no problem, I can go to any website, but when I click on the print icon, or file, print, nothing happens. I do not see the print icon in the task bar which shows you something is spooling, printing, I open Task Manager and I see Firefox is Not responding. I must end task.
We can print anything else on the PC, Internet Explorer 8 prints successfully, just Firefox will not print.
I also uninstalled the network printer, re-installed. Connected to another network printer, Firefox still will not print.
I also uninstalled the latest version of Firefox on the PC 15.0.1, went back a few versions and Firefox still will not print.
Can someone assist why Firefox refuses to print and when you try to print Firefox goes to a Not responding status ?
Thanks,
Bob

Can't print from FireFox!

I got a new HP OfficeJet 4500 Desktop printer that can't print from Firefox only.
I tried printing the same webpages from Firefox and IE, and couldn't do it in FireFox.
The printer starts printing that few secs later the printing stops and doesn't go on.
What do I do?!

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?

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.

Can't print from firefox with HP Pro 8600

I just bought an HP Officejet Pro 8600. I am able to print through Internet Explorer but not Firefox. The printer icon comes on but It just won't print anything. I am using Windows XP.
My second problem is - I can receive faxes and fax to a person with a separate number from their home number. But I can't fax to a person who has the same number as their home phone and fax.
Any help on these 2 issues will be so appreciate!

HI sjane39,
Here is a support page for troubleshooting printing from Firefox. It appears as though if you can print from IE that your print drivers are installed and working properly. It sounds like a setting in Firefox.
Let us know if this helps.
For your fax issue you can run the Fax Diagnostics Test. It will help diagnose and resolve common fax issues.
Also let us know about this one.
Good luck.
If I helped you at all it would be great if you clicked the blue kudos star!

I can not print from Firefox, but can from all other browsers and applications (such as MS Word, notepad, etc.). I get a print error on the printing monitor like it's a spooling problem.

This is a recent development but I can not print anything from within Firefox. The print functions open normally, it is going to the correct printer which works..I can print from other browsers and applications. It acts like it is spooling and then a print error occurs and it won't print. I closed and reopened Firefox, opened it in safe mode, cleaned out history/cache/cookies, and rebooted twice. Nothing makes any difference. Also tried printing from the print preview which had the same result. I can print from all other browsers and applications without a problem so it must be within Firefox.

Can't Print from Firefox on certain sites/files. Can print them w/IE!

All I get's a blank page.
3.6.10 Windows 7
I have uninstalled, then reinstalled my printer.
Many sites, print just fine, but those with "peripheral" files like PDF will not print.
Examples: Ehow - will NOT print out right.
Example - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problems_printing_web_pages
will not print.
btw - NONE of the solutions on that mozillazine page worked. :(
Would this have to do w/FIREFOX? or my PRINTER? I don't think it's the printer, b/c printer prints anything from IE>
A few months back, Firefox would print anything. Lately, it doesn't. Not sure the change, but I figure it must be a Firefox setting. I'd be forever in your debt for a clue......

I have Firefox ver. 6.0.2 and I also found I could not print a PDF file from the browser. After much hair pulling and strange language I decided to "discover a fix"
1 - The problem is with Firefox!!!
2 - The Fix Is as follows!
3 - Make sure you have the latest Adobe Reader Installed!
4 - In Firefox click on Tools and select Options then Applications and select
under 'Content type' "Adobe Acrobat Document" and
under 'Action' scroll down to "Use Adobe Reader (default)"
5 - Now click OK and any PDF documents will now open in the Reader and
printing the PDF will work !!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't print from Firefox using Mac G5, 10.5.8, Power PC processors

Problem developed after update from Microsoft. I downloaded an older version of Firefox (3.6.23), but problem persists. When I attempt to print a page, the printer responds and runs paper, but it is blank.

If by chance it's really the trial beta V3, it won't install on PPC Macs.
If it's 2.5, something else, possibly had it been installed on that machine before?
I'd re-download, try again.
