Web Printing in Firefox - fails

Just installed the latest version for Vista.
EVerytime I click the icon for HP WP in Firefox (3.0.14) a pop up window suggests I need the latest version and even though I redirect to HP - the HP site tels me I have the latest version- and so the merry go round begins ...
Thanks HP = What a Lemon ...

Read the description of the program. It says not compatible with the latest versions of Firefox. Dont blame HP for your ignorance.

  • HP Smart Web Printing Breaks Firefox

    HP Smart Web Printing Breaks Firefox Navigation bar.
    OS: Windows 7
    Browser: FireFox 3.5.6
    Application: HP Smart Web Print Version 4.6
    After installing it basically broke the Firefox browser bar.
    Here is the FriendFeed Conversation

    As far as I’m concerned this is by far the most intrusive and inconsiderate update HP has every released. Be where – if I had to guess I would say that HP is using EDS to do it’s update/releases. I only say this because as someone who worked for EDS for 14 years, I can tell you they are used to telling their end user what they must have how they are going to get it instead of the other way around. This is one of the main reasons I left EDS in 1999. So do not trust HP anymore. Always make a restore point before you apply any updates and only apply update when they apply to you and the way you use your computer. I for one am going to turn off HP update notices because I don't even want to know about an update unless I have some problem I need to solve.
    System Info:
    OS: Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 32 bit (all current updates applied as of 01/15/2009).
    Browser: Firefox 3.5.7
    Problem Area: Firefox Add-ons
    Problem and Solution:
    Hp Update notified me an update for HP Smart Web Printing to version 4.60 is available. Because I like to keep my computer software up to date I clicked install, what a mistake. The first thing I noticed is that the Norton Toolbar 4.0 was missing in Firefox 3.5.7. Turned out it was BROKE and/or disables although Firefox showed it as being present and enabled it was not, along with other Add-ons for Firefox.
    Things I tried:
    1)      Exit and restarted FF (no effect) 
    2)      Disable HP Smart Web Printing and Restarted Firefox (Norton Toolbar reappeared but still was not working along with other Add-ons.
    Final Solution:
    1)      Uninstall HP Smart Web Printing (I check delete/no to save anything)
    2)      Ran System Restore and restored to the latest System Check Point which was before the 4.60 update was applied because Windows was prevented from or just didn't create an automatic restore point in order to undo the update.
    3)      Uninstall HP Smart Web Printing again and again I didn't save anything (Why? I have no idea but it appeared that even though the previous version of HP Smart Web Printing should be installed it seems that the 4.60 updates are applied to it so it’s the only way I could get Firefox and the other Add-ons working right) Norton Safe Web still doesn't work right and is a 100% dysfunctional.
    NOTE:
    All Firefox Add-ons seems to be working except Norton Safe Web function. The green tick mark no longer show up so you have no way of know if the site is Safe or not until you click on a link in Google search so Safe Web will check it which as far as I'm concerned diminishes the protection/function 100%. The only solution may be to uninstall Firefox and reinstall it, which at this time I've not done because I am still trying to find a way around it.

  • HP Smart Web Printing and Firefox

    Was able to update IE8 with Smart Web Printing, but not working in Firefox.  Will an update be available for Firefox? 

    I believe an updated version of SWP will be released that'll work with FF 3.x.x. However, there is no release date specified by HP.

  • How can I get "smart Web Printing" off Firefox - since it doesn't work here??

    When will HP recognize that Firefox is used by a lot of customers??

    Hi,
    If you don't have the Menu Bar displayed, right click just above the address bar and place a tick against Menu Bar.  Now click Tools, click Add-ons,click the Extensions tab, left click Smart Web Printing once to highlight it and then click the Uninstall option.  When done, restart Firefox.

  • Web print for firefox 4 and chrome

    It seem to set up in IE 8. But not in firefox 4 or chrome.    Operating system is Xp.  Prefer not to use IE 8.  Handy tool if I could get it to work with better browsers.

    I filed a bug report at Bugzilla at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ . The bug number is 667399. It turns out that this bug was reported earlier in June of 2010 as 572801. Then Firefox 4 would have been in use. My report shows the same bug also is active in Firefox 5. Several confirmed the original bug and suggested why it happened. However apparently nothing was done during the Firefox 4 era. Could it be that difficult to correct the problem? Several other current browsers, even including IE9, do not have this problem. Someone needs to twist the tail of that Firefox to get it to correct the bug :-). Or perhaps Firefox 6 should be a special update just to correct unresolved bugs.

  • So are we close to getting a version of Smart Web Printing for Firefox or not?

    Subject says it all - when, oh when, will we get SWP for Firefox 3+ ?

    I'm tired of waiting for HP to supprt this add-on for FF 3.0 and just want SWP gone!  From FireFox and my machine.
    It started as a very useful add-on but, since it is not being supported, I want it gone
    There is no option to  uninstall it in my extension manager (it's faded out)  and I can not find anything under add/remove programs in XPPro.
    I even started a new profile, and it still shows up in the extension manager.
    Is there a removal tool or how do I get rid of it? What should I look for in the FF profile.
    I thinks I was able to use SWP once before the FF update. I never really got a chance to learn how to use it. Now it is useless.
    Why offer something that you are not going to support HP?
    Great idea HP, poor follow-thru

  • Smart Web Print -vs- Firefox

    Firefox 3.6 is out now. It has been in development long enough for SWP to be ready to roll immediately, but is seems there is still no update. Does anyone know if there is an eta, or even if an updated version is being worked on?

    This is what I got from HP.
    HP does not announce product releases before the official introduction date because HP does not want to set customers' expectations and then not be able to deliver a product.
    Unfortunately, we at Technical support do not have an estimated date from the software team. I apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused. But I can assure you that it should be available anytime in the near future.
    The information I have provided should answer your question.  If you have further questions, please reply to this message.  We will be happy to assist you further.

  • Icon for hp smart web printing has disappeared. Have rt clicked on tool bar. Customize. not there

    Icon for hp web smart printing has disappeared in firefox. It does appear in IE but I use firefox most of the time. I rt clicked in upper right and chose customize. Icon is not there.

    HP stopped updating Smart Web Printing for Firefox a while ago, it was last compatible with Firefox 3.5 - SWP didn't work with 3.6.

  • Hp smart web printing does not work on firefox. HP says this is not their problem and to contact Mozilla. Is there a plug in available?

    I just bought a new hp printer. the software has a feature called HP web smart printing. The feature works on explorer but not on Firefox. HP says this is not their problem and suggested I contact Mozilla. Is an add on available and if not will one be made available.
    I am using v. 3.6.13. and the printer is HP Officejet 4500.

    HP smart web printing is an application that only works with IE. In spite of what HP have told you, if they want their application to work with Firefox they will need to make a version for Firefox. It is not down to Mozilla to make a version of the HP software for Firefox.

    Thanks

    I wonder if somebody from HP is monitoring this forum. It appears that hey are lacking as much responsiveness here as with their software.I just cannot believe that a multi billion company is so ...
    Hello there... anybody listening?

  • HP Smart Web Printing only works on Explorer not Firefox 4 are you going to update this as I do not want to change back to Explorer.

    I just downloaded the HP Smart Web Printing which is free for those who purchase printers. It provides ability to select and clip or print web pages. It works on Explorer but not Firefox 4. There are many such questions on forums in both HP and Firefox. I love Firefox and would hate to have to go back to Explorer.
    Firefox 4 also does not appear to have "Send to OneNote" either. I used to be able to do this in Firefox 3.
