''duplicate of this - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/853805''
Recently a problem exists when I print something while in Firefox. Printing has become very very slow. I tried printing while using Safari and the printing speed was normal. Please help.

Try the '''''reset''''' described here: <br />

  • C4650 Will only print black from the internet. MS Word and PS will not print in black but has color.

    Before you think I just haven't tried anything, let me run you down with the whole lot:
    -HP PhotoSmart C4650
    -Windows Vista
    -Problem: My printer won't print in black --but-- this only goes for Microsoft applications it seems. If I have a page of text in black, when printing from MS Word, the page comes out blank, however the printer is actually "printing" back and forth. IF, however I print from my browser, from email, or a webpage, picture, google docs, etc, black prints *just fine.* So far this holds true for both MS Word and PhotoShop CS5. Issue: Black ink simply doesn't print from any program other than a browser.
    -NO. The cartridge isn't empty. NO. It's not incompatible. NO. The cartridge head isn't dry and I am not going to soak it in water. This is a new cartridge. It's the official HP brand.
    I've done a search and I've found that a few people seem to have this "only print from the internet" problem, however none of these was solved. The only advice that an HP support member gave to one of them is to "install XP service pack 2" however.. I am not running XP. A few other people get the opposite issue where they can only print color from the internet and not from the computer's applications.
    I don't know much about printers but it sounds like some kind of driver issue. Yes. I've already searched for, uninstalled and reinstalled drivers. Whenever I have to print something, I now try to open it up in my firefox just so I can be able to print black. It's quite the hassle. Almost seems like some kind of ploy to cause people to buy new ink cartridges when it's not really empty.
    -Yes, I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the printer.
    -Updated my windows (although idk how that would help. But I know it's going to be a suggestion anyway.)
    Is there any known fix or should i chuck it off the balcony and go get a lexmark?

  • My mac will not open the adobe reader, it shows a foreign language in the response box when I try to open up something from the internet?

    Please help, My Mac will not open when I rtry to download something from the internet, a box with foreign language appears in the textbox?

    I have seen this a couple of times over the last few days here in the forum; the Reader 11.0.7 plugin for Mac displays the message in Japanese.  Here is the English translation.
    Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement then quit and relaunch the browser.
    Do it, and the message will disappear.

  • Since I installed a new printer I can no longer print items from the internet.

    See above question. Bought my printer at Best Buy. They said it could be a browser problem. I have Firefox. My Firefox is up to date. No problem printing documents, just cant print items from the internet.

    Have you tried to see of the firmware on your printer needs to be updated? If apple happened to change the protocols for air print (I don't know if they did but anything is possible) then your printer's firmware will also need to be updated.
    You can also see if a simple reboot helps. Turn your printer off then on, power cycle your router - unplug it, count to ten, plug it back in, and reboot your iPad (hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple, then let go and let it reboot)
    sometimes just letting the electronics get a fresh start can help a ton.

  • Printer won't print anything from the internet

    Had a hp officejet 4500 printer and now have a HP ENVY 4500 e-ALL-in-On series and neither one will print anything from the internet.
    Any ideas on what to check ?????

    Hi dukster,
    I'll see if I can find anything for you. What kind of computer and OS do you have? A Mac or a PC? Also, what browsers are you trying to print from?

    You download apps from the Apple AppStore.

  • When saving files from the internet, why doesn't Firefox 'know' to put .jpg files in "Photos" and pdf files in "Documents"?

    When saving files from the internet, why doesn't Firefox 'know' to put .jpg files in "Photos" and pdf files in "Documents"? IE always saved photos in the "Photos" file and documents in the "Documents" file. Firefox makes me choose every time. Very annoying.

    How about if Firefox is programmed like IE in this ONE thing...
    When saving files from internet sources, if the file ends in a typical photo extension such as .jpg, .bmp, .tif etc. it defaults to save it in your PHOTOS folder.
    When saving anything like a .doc, .pdf etc. it defaults to save it to your DOCUMENTS.
    You could still change it to 'desktop' if that if really where you want all your photos and documents... or some other folder that you decide, but DEFAULTS to the LOGICAL folder.
    I have carpal tunnel SO bad that even typing this suggestion is painful and having to make the extra click along with moving the mouse EVERY time I want to save something is painful.
    ALSO, I shouldn't need a bunch of ADDONS to accomplish this. I tried downloading one and it did nothing. The problem still exists.

  • I installed a new Epson printer. It doesn't print items from the internet. Trying to figure if it is a Firefox issue.

    Ever since I installed my new Epson printer I have been unable to print from the internet. All other printing works well. I am trying to figure out why. Could this be Firefox not recognizing the printer?

  • Can I download something from the internet that is only meant for windows? Can I make it work with safari?

    I would like to download a business program from the internet, but it is only meant for windows.  Can I make it work on my mac?

    You are aware that you can purchase and install a copy of Windows directly on your Mac, right?
    Boot Camp is included with OS X, and requires that you create a separate partition for Windows and install it onto your Mac hard drive. You re-boot your Mac computer into Windows when you want to run the Windows app.
    There are also virtual machine environments that will allow you to run full Windows at the same time as Mac OS X:  Parallels Desktop, and VMWare Fusion.
    Windows performance running in a virtual environment will be limited by the amount of RAM available, the microprocessor, and the amount of hard disk space available.
    Parallels offers a free 15-day trial, but you still need a full licensed copy of Windows in order to test it.

  • When I print something off of the internet (not word processor), the print is tiny. What's wrong?

    When I print using my word processor, the print is normal size. However, when I print anything off of the internet (through Mozilla Firefox) the print is miniaturized. I have returned my printer to its default settings, but there is no change. I don't believe the problem lies in the printer, but somehow in my internet settings. I am at wits end in trying to diagnose this issue. Please help.

    The proposed cure merely changes the size on the screen. The actual prints still come out with a very large font. I agree initial post this is a ridiculous problem that has spoiled Firefox as a very credible browser. Please Help us.

  • Firefox has become extremely slow in the recent times

    Firefox suddenly has become very slow. It takes too much time to load all websites and even the typed words and scrolling has a great delay in appearing. It becomes unresponsive very often. I tried reinstalling it and even reset it. Its becoming a pain to use this to surf the net. Please do help!!

    I also have found that Firefox has become a dog. I've followed one thread that disabled the plugin-container with no help. 20.0.1 can hang for over a minute and actually hog my entire CPU so I can't even start Chrome! I like my FF plug-ins, but the performance problems of FF 20 are becoming intolerable and no one seems to know what the heck! Chrome does not present the problems and I have been visiting and working at the same websites. If many folks are encountering this mess, I suspect that FF is done for. I have actually found that the Android FF is also tending to slow down my smartphone - stall it! I am a few days away from just removing FF from my computing life.

  • My Epson printer stopped working with Firefox today. It does test pages, will work on Notebook, and will work with IE. Up until today it worked with Firefox. Why can't I print anything from the internet with Firefox?

    Up until today, I did everything with Firefox. Then I was on Paypal and went to print a shipping label and the printer would not work. I went to troubleshoot page and it printed a test page. I uninstalled my printer and then re-installed it. Still would not work from an internet page. I did a system restore. Still didn't work. Called Epson. They say it's a Firefox problem because it works on Notebook and test pages. I installed IE and the printer works. What happened and how can I get it back working with Firefox?

    I have the same problem, I cannot print PayPal shipping label off of Firefox. I did the about.config entry and have seen that the print.print_printer does not exist at all in the list of entries. I use Vista 32. I use an Epson 545 wirelessly.
    Can anyone help?
