I can't print only selected text since upgrading to Firefox 8.0. Using Mac OS Lion

Until Firefox 8.0, I could select text on any webpage and print only that text. Now, I can't even get a print dialog box with an option to "Print Selection" only.
I also recently upgraded to OS Lion (from OS Leopard) on Mac. Any chance that that is the problem or is it in Firefox? I've seen lots of help requests on this site from other people with problems printing selected text from websites.

Firefox hangs the same way in safe mode.
There is no such thing as a Firefox program folder on a Mac, nor is there an "uninstall" to do, so these directions are not relevant to a Mac user.
The problem remains.

  • I can't print anyhing form anywhere since upgrading to Firefox 3.6, absolutely nothing. I saw other similar questions answered but they didnt help me

    I have Widows XP . A HP Deskjet952C printer that worked fine before. I uninstallled the printer and reinstalled it to no availe. When I put the software disk in to reinstall it the printer, it comes up and says this driver won't work with Windows 2000. I don't have Windows 2000! I'm ready to uninstall Firefox altogether and go back to the older version. I'vead the comments from edmeis, but none of them worked. Iwas doing fine printing before because I printed greeting cards. Can someone help? Thankyou.

    Ok I tested a bunch of different Firefoxes on my pos linux box.

    I have an old Dell Dimension 2400 I plan to use as a replacement for the Sony Vaio when it pops. I've held out as long as possible because it lacks a pci or usb wifi and I really didn't want to run 50 feet of cat5 up a flight of stairs to it. [as i type this i think i remember where a linksys stick for it might be]. Yes I guess it's about time I just do that.
    Don't laugh but the reason I held off adding a simple usb keyboard was just lack of space in my tiny bedroom. My setup is on two tray tables side-by-side. Sony Vaio is on left one, my lcd monitor and mouse are on the other. I barely have room to put a cup of coffee on the one with monitor and mouse let alone a full size usb keyboard lol.
    Anyway thank you again for all your help.

  • Can't print over wireless router since upgrade to Leopard

    I have an iBook and a G5 tower. My Epson printer is connected to the G5, and for several years I've been printing from the iBook over my Linksys WRT54G router. I just upgraded the laptop to 10.5.2 (from 10.3.9) and I can no longer print via the router.
    I've tried setting various configurations, nothing works. Used the router IP address, the G5 IP address, "my-Computer.local" etc. I've tried it with Internet Printing Protocol, and Line Printer Daemon. Also, I installed new drivers from Epson, but they don't show up in the printer configuration window. I only see the Gutenprint driver for my printer.
    Is there any way to make this work? Thanks.

    I had the same issue with the MP620. I found an "answer" in another forum... but I'm not 100% happy with it as it requires changing the firewall setting to all ALL incoming connections. FYI, the guy that posted this info, never posted the direction on how to create the exception.
    " I was having the same problem. What it turned out was that the default mac os x Firewall was preventing me from seeing the printer. Try following these steps and see if they help. This was for Max OS X 10.5:
    1) Click the 'Apple' button in the upper left-hand corner
    2) Choose 'System Preferences...'
    3) Click the 'Show All' button at the top to make sure you are seeing all the options
    4) Under the 'Personal' heading, pick the 'Security' button
    5) There are 3 tabs at the top, choose 'Firewall'
    6) There are 3 options, try picking 'Allow all incoming connections' (the first option). IMPORTANT: this will make your computer less secure if you don't eventually change this setting back to 'Allow only essential services' so please remember to do that after you finish (see step 13).
    7) Now that your firewall is disabled, lets try to add the printer
    8) Click the 'Show All' button again to get back to main System Preferences page
    9) Under the 'Hardware' section, choose the 'Print and Fax' button
    10) If you see the 'MP620' series under the printers list on the left, delete it by selecting it and pressing the '-' button underneath.
    11) Insert the Canon CD and repeat the install process (or download the drivers from the canon website). Please be sure to follow all the directions in the manual but this time it should work.
    12) Check that the printer works. If not, there are other things you can try, just post a response and I will follow up.
    13) Re-enable your firewall by selecting the 'Allow only essential services' tab under the 'Firewall' tab of the 'Security' menu.
    14) Check that the printer still works. If it doesn't, you will need to either keep your firewall disabled or set an exception. That is a little more complicated and I can post those directions if somebody asks about them."
    Hope this is helpful and if someone can find the exception... also post it"

  • I can not print only a selected part of a page

    I have reset the print.print_printer and still can't print only the selected part of a page. I highlight what I want to print and use control P to get to the printer setup. Then I click the selection button and then OK. The preview screen shows what would print but the page has blank space above what was selected. This has only started to happen since the upgrade to FF 11.0. I have tried the same operation using IE and it works fine. please, is there a fix for this??

  • How can i print only pages which have been highlighted, from a multi page file?

    How can i print only pages which have been highlighted, in a multi page file.

    Ah, I see want you mean. This might not be practical for you, but if you select one instance of the highlighted text and add a [space] to the little sticky note, all of the highlighted text on that page will appear in the summary.

  • Print/Save Selected Text to PDF

    I want to use Mozilla Firefox very much for a long time. I like it because the UI is very clean, easy to use, the icon vey pretty. When I use in my Android Mobile, it is very easy and intelligent to select content of page site. Very good!
    But I had to install Chrome instead so I've always been using "Print a selected content to PDF" but I couldn't find ways to do that with Firefox. Chrome is doing very good.
    I searched all add-ons, pdf printer software but they are only saving or printing all the page (website) to PDF.
    Please help me the ways to save a selected content to PDF. Thanks very much.

  • How do I print only the text on the monitor screen?

    I would like to be able to print only that portion of a text that is on the monitor screen. How do I do that?
    I have an Epson Workforce 325 printer, and an HP desktop computer PC

    Please see the following to print only the text portion of the web page. I am assuming you wish to print just the text & not the ads or additional irrelevant items to avoid wasting ink.

  • How can I print ONLY the active document?

    Whenever I go to File/Print the darn PSE 9 program sends all of the working files in the bin to the printer. I've searched online for 2 hours now looking for an answer.
    I like to work with having several to many files in the 'bin' and prefer to only print the active file I'm currently working on without having to close the 'working files' before I can print. How can I print ONLY the active document or file in the project bin? Please help, I've upgraded from PSE 3 to PSE 9 and really like the updated features, but this one pain in the neck default is getting the best of me.

    Thanks for your help, that works nicely. It is good to have control of the printer again.

  • I can no longer attach files in Yahoo mail since upgrading to FireFox 4.0.1. I click the "attach" button and nothing happens - no file list to select from appears; nothing.

    Since upgrading to Firefox 4.0.1 the "attach files" function in my Yahoo Mail account no longer functions. When I click the "attach files" button nothing happens - nothing. No file selection box opens, no error message appears, no pinwheel of death, nothing.
    The "attach files" button is no longer 'hot' in FF 4.0.1 either = the "little hand" icon does not appear when I scroll over it. Other action buttons are still 'hot' ("attachments", "emoticons", "format", "hide bcc"etc.) - just not the "attach files" button.
    The Yahoo Mail "attach files" function still works when I use my Safari browser, however. So, it appears to be a FF4.0.1 issue.

  • How can I print only the attachment without the email content

    How can I print only the attachment without the email content. Every time I send to print, It prints the email itself with the attachment- can I cancel that?

    Hello Riklama,
    When you first open the attachment (e.g. on your phone) than you can mail only that attachment. Works fine with my husbands blackberry.

    Hi picheny. How are you printing from your iPhone. Are you using Apple's built in Airprint or the HP Eprint app? Airprint doesn't seem to have any such option. With Eprint, you can specify.

  • How can i print out old text messages?

    how can i print out old text messages?

    As Ann said, it does depend on your phone.  One third party app that works on many phones (especially older models, but not all phones) is BitPim ( http://www.bitpim.org/ ) but it can potentially harm/brick your phone if you don't know what you are doing - use it with caution.  I have used it successfully to get texts and photos off an old flip phone that was deactivated and had no sd card.
    Newer smartphones can download apps that will give you the ability to print out texts.
