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.

    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 -

    Same message if I cut and paste the link.

  • MacBook Pro unable to print to HP LaserJet 1320 or Epson Stylus Photo R200

    I cannot get my MacBook Pro to print wireless to either one of my printers and I haven't tried to connect the laptop to them. The HP 1320 doesn't show up in the 'Add Printer' dialogue box. The Epson printer shows up in the print dialogue box but there's an icon in front of the name that looks like an electrical plug. The print queue dialogue box says the printer is offline (the printer is, indeed, turned on). After reading several threads I installed the hpijs software to no avail. I also upgraded the Epson printer drivers from Apple support - again, no-go.
    I also tried to install (or reinstall) the MacOSXServerUpdCombo10.6.6.pkg. I got a message saying that I didn't have the right kind of computer for this. (say what?)
    My desktop is a PowerMac G5 with the Duel 2 GHz PowerPC G5 Processor. It's running 10.5.8.
    Is there other information I should supply? I'll admit that I'm not terribly techy and will appreciate any and all help possible.
    Thanks,
    peggy

    This leads me question two of the three assumptions listed and I don't know how to answer them:
    How do I know if the HP 1320 is correctly configured for the wireless network router?
    If I read your original post correctly, you've used the HP on the network wirelessly before. The problem came when you upgraded your OS X to a newer version.
    The HP printer should STILL be configured correctly for the WiFi router. The HP-printer-to-WiFi-network-router configuration did not change when you installed new OS software on the computer.
    It might help to think of it as installing a wireless extension phone in your house. Your phone number didn't change. Your house address didn't change. You've just added a wireless extension phone to what is already in place.
    How do I know if my Mac (which Mac the desktop or the laptop?) can still connect wirelessly to the network? (The laptop picks up wifi - is that the indication that it connects?)
    Can you connect to the internet with your laptop wirelessly? If you can, that (95% probability) means that you're successfully connecting to the network that includes your HP printer. (The 5% occurrence is if you're actually connecting wirelessly to someone else's network, perhaps a neighbor with an unsecured WiFi network).
    Moving on - where do I find the printer's IP address?
    I tried to answer it in #5 of my original post, but I didn't realize the HP JetDirect interface had a separate button on it.
    So, paraphrasing again from HP...
    Plug the printer into a power outlet and turn the power on the printer.
    Wait a few minutes and then *print a network configuration page by pressing the black button on the network card on the back of the printer*.
    If the IP address on the network configuration page is 0.0.0.0, then wait a few minutes and repeat step c. Do this until the IP address is not 0.0.0.0. The printer will have an automatic IP address (Auto IP) which should look like 169.254.x.y , where x and y can be any number between 0 and 255.
    It came from this HP support page: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&task Id=115&prodSeriesId=410622&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=410622&objectID=c004852 63
    If and when I get to step 9 - will this list be displayed after I enter the printer's IP address?
    Hopefully, yes!
    Also - after I installed the hpijs driver and the HPPrinter Driver I can't find them within the Applications folder or anywhere else. Where should I find them? Would it be a good idea to move them into the Applications folder?
    The HP-ij-s driver is PROBABLY for inkjet printers and is not needed. It doesn't take up much space, so it's probably not worth worrying about at this point. The needed drivers SHOULD already be available as part of the OS X installation you already did, and you shouldn't need anything additional.
    Just opening System Preferences, Hardware, Printer & Fax and trying to add the HP printer (once you have the IP address) should be all you'd need at this point.
    Is there anything I should be aware of in conjunction with my desktop computer (PowerMac G5 - 10.5.1)?
    Sorry, I don't think I can help you with the desktop PowerMac G5. If that configuration did not change, then it should still work.
    Thanks for all of your help. I don't know what I would do otherwise.
    No problem. It's not fast or immediate, but in my experience (since 2007) eventually almost every question posted here in Apple Discussions gets a correct, useful answer!

  • Am unable to print from Firefox (used to be able to) even though I can print from Safari....what should I try?

    have an up to date Firefox and was able to print to HP printer from internet until recently. I can print from internet using Safari so am sure that the problem is in some setting from Firefox. The printer is chosen in preferences and it seems to send a message to printer but only blank paper comes out....and ideas of what to try would be appreciated!

    Hi timcasey-
    I recommend you read this Support article on troubleshooting printing issues:
    [[Firefox prints incorrectly]]
    Hope that helps.

  • I am unable to print from Firefox 20. Am running Mac 10.6. Print preview will show no content/blank page. Thanks.

    Unable to print
    No content in print preview

    If you cannot see any content on pages you printed or in print preview, the cause might be margins which are set too high.
    #In order to check the margins, we need to go to ''File'' > ''Page Setup''.
    #Once this is done, switch to the ''Margins & Header/Footer'' tab.
    #Check what's set there under ''Margins''.
    The following are the default values for ''Margins'':
    '''Right''': 12.7
    '''Top''': 12.7
    '''Left''': 12.7
    '''Bottom''': 12.7
    Check these values accordingly and change them if necessary.

  • 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!
    If I solved your post please mark it as solved to help others.

  • 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?

    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.

  • 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.

    == 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.
