I cant print from firefox 3.6.6. anymore (but it works for emails), I'm on OS X 10.5.8:
URGENT, I NEED TO PRINT TODAY !
whenever I need to print something from a web page it doesn't connect to my printer (Samsung ML-1270) but my printer works fine and I have no problems printing e-mails
== a while ago already with older versions of firefox, but I didn't realize the problem is firefox so I can't tell exactly when it started

Posted this elsewhere too; odd thing is both Safari AND Chrome work just fine. Did the suggestions but nothing fixed it, including deleting the app and trying to downgrade to a couple of versions back.
Printing or even print preview on FF results in a blank page. Tried updating the "Add On" but that didn't do anything either. May have to give up on using FF. This is for my mother-in-law's machine and it works fine on my MacBook Pro at home. She's using an iMac with OS X 10.6.4 and this started with a recent upgrade.

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

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?

on peopletools 8.44 firefox is not a certified platform. from peopletools 8.48 they started certifying firefox and safari.
please look into My oracle support for a list of certified browsers and platforms on Peopletools 8.44 release.

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 have an IMac, OS X 10.5.8
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

Because your printer has to be Airprint compatible and connected to WiFi. There are applications, such as Printopia, that will allow you to print through your computer.

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.

What do I do?!

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.

Since the last update I have been unable to print from Firefox. No problem printing from Safari or any other program. I've seen a few responses to this problem but only to people running Windows. I'm on a Mac running v. 10.5.8

Also when I click on the link in my email to activate my account (in the hopes that a solve will be emailed to me) I get this message -

I cannot print from firefox. I can print from open office. It seems to have something to do with when frames open because in IE, I can print a whole page, but when I try to use a print button embeded in a page or frame it does not work.

Cannot print from firefox at all.
In Internet Explorer, I was able to print by pushing the print button, but when opening a frame, like in mapquest, the embedded print button brings up an options window that has print frames options in it, but when hit OK in this box, a second error box comes up with a yellow exclamation point and nothing prints. I have a feeling that it is the same problem with both browsers, but would prefer using firefox. Can you help with this?

Yes, I tried that.   The files were ordered by their original numbers as imported from the camera, but I batched them through Phocoshop to downsize all of them into a more manageable file size.   I opened that destination folder from quick time from where it said select image sequence.   I clicked on the first one and opened it.   The result was a large image with an arrow indicating a movie was ready to go.   When I pressed the arrow, though, I realized it had only imported that one frame so there was no movie.   The files are Jpgs and are about 450 KB each.
    To your knowledge are there any links to iMovie tutorials or quick time tutorials that may address this situation? Maybe there will be one I haven't looked at yet.
    Thanks

Cannot print from Firefox

For some time now I cannot print from Firefox. I thought it might be a glitch after an update, but have updated again since and it still does not work. If I try to print to a printer, nothing happens. If choose print and then save to PDF it seems to work, but then when I try to open the file I get an error message from Adobe saying "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired.". On the other hand, I can print and save to PDF from Safari without any problem. I am using Mac OSX 10.5.8, Firefox 6.0.2.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi,
Please do a CLEAN install:
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a Clean reinstall. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
Note: You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
Windows:
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
Mac: Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
Linux: If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see Install Firefox on Linux. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.

MacBook Pro unable to print from Firefox

Hello,
Fairly new to the mac world. I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and it has been running great! I had no problems printing or creating pdfs from Mozilla's Firefox. After running some regularly scheduled updates, I can no longer print from Firefox, either directly connected to the printer or to create a pdf document. I can print and create pdfs from safari as well as word documents. All my software updates are current. Anyone have any suggestions?

You could try deleting just the FF application from the Applications folder and downloading it again. Your cookies, bookmarks, and history are stored elsewhere so would not be affected.
It's possible that repairing permissions might find an ownership issue. That's the easiest thing to try.

I can't print from Firefox (on a MacBook) since I tried to instal the new version. How do I uninstall it (all components), and then reinstall?

Can't print from Firefox - it crashes.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_8; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.22.7 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.5 Safari/531.22.7

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.

Cant print from Word/Excel/Outlook to Onenote (Office 2010)

Have a weird problem. The problem started quite resently....for a lot of users in our domain!
As the title says I cant print from word/outlook/... to onenote.....the only thing i can print from is IE10 to onenote (all other printers work ofc pdf/physical and so on). But if someone has IE8 I doesn't work for them either...
I have the printer under "printers and fax" so its not "gone"....I have tried to repair Office 2010+reboot with no success. AND i have the XPS document Writer present/working aswell.
When i try to print i can see the "printing-icon" in the lower wright corner, so something is obviously "happening"....but if i put my marker there it only says "0 printing jobs for %username%"....and yes i'm currently sitting
in a domain, i'm admin at my computer to(Windows 7 Enterprise).
I'v tried almost everything i could find i terms of repairing and checking the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt\Ski&cka till OneNote registry key (but that's for IE...and that's working correctly).
Now here's the fun part....if i run winword.exe as administrator (rightclick+Run as administrator) it works!
But that's not a solid workaround....
Anyone knows how to fix this? And as i'v explained...tried to repair several times....restarted services....check so XPS function is enabled and so on and so on...
//Regards Andreas

Hi,
According to your description, I selected the situations which your said above.
1. A lot of Domain account could print from is IE10 to Onenote, but IE 8 not.
2.When Domain account print to Onenote, but it hanged.
3. Word works well if runned as administrator.
From above, I think the printer setting was Ok, beacuse you could print something by using Onenote to physical printer.
As far as I know, OneNote stores a raster and a vector format for the printout images. It will first load the raster image (quicker to load) then quickly switch to vector image (hi res/sharper). The image you see for a split second is the raster
image and then vector format fails to render. I believe you did not lose any data, just that it fails to render due to a configuration issue.
OneNote uses .NET to render the vector format and I have seen cases where the installed .NET version or not installed .NET updates would be a problem. I recommend you first make sure you have
Win7 SP1 and Office and .NET updates that show up in Windows Update are all installed and retry after that.
And then,please check the link:http://www.onenote-tips.com/printfails.html, it may be help for you.
If the issue exists, Please use process monitor to selcet the log when the issue occurs.
Regards,
George Zhao
