Why can't I print from firefox?

Whenever I want to print something when using Firefox my MacBook doesn't print it. I get a different-looking print utility that never sends anything to the printer. I have heard this same complaint from many friends, on Mac and PC.

  • Why can't I print from firefox? Just remauns in que.

    I've tried about:config and reset print_printer, also looked for pref.js file it is not there. I just don't know what else to do,please help

    Note that Windows hides some file extensions by default.<br />
    Among them are .html and .ini and .js and .txt, so you may only see a name (prefs) without file extension.<br />
    You can see the real file extension (type) if you open the Properties of the file via the right-click context menu.
    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)

  • Why can't I print from my ipad?

    I've had my iPad for almost a year now and I like it a lot. It looks very good, it performs very well even though I'm far from reaching my goal of only taking my ipad to school, nothing else.
    One important reason why this won't be the case for quite a while still is that I can't print from the iPad.
    Let me explain. I make quite a number of worksheets. Being a teacher this is one of the things you do so that the students have something to write on and do exercises. Over the years there have been many of these and my initial thought was to put them all on the iPad and print them when needed. But imagine my surprise when I found out that printing from an iPad seems to be near impossible.
    Other colleagues of mine got themselves cheap EEPCs and they work fine. They can access the local printer easily printing whatever they wish. But I can't do that! Unless my school buys a new Air-thingy printer from HP I just won't print there! And that just *****.
    I've bought a sleek and expensive machine that is so sophisticated - that I can't use it the way I want to. And that isn't even ******** about the file system that seems to be equally messed up.
    My question is, why can't I print from the iPad? Printing had been announced many times before the launch of iOS 4 and then, all of a sudden, nothing more. How can this be? Why do I have to buy additional software - which is not really cheap and far from certain to work at all - just to be able to print a few pages?
    Please help me understand this, as I see it, major flaw of the iPad and iOS 5.

    Thanks guys,
    I seem to have understood by now.
    To sum it up:
    - I can print with the iPad directly if the printer is Airprint compatible.
    - I can print via a number of more or less working apps.
    I've downloaded some HP software for my iPad and even seem to be able to access it from some other apps, that is except Apples Pages app. Sigh! So whenever I have to make changes in my documents, I still can't print.
    GoodReader on the other hand lets me send my documents to the HP app, but the app/HP won't let me print microsoft docs unless I register and send my documents over to HP where the printing prep is being made, then they send it back to me/my printer. Anyway GoodReader blows my layout apart, so I must change it on the iPad, but when I do …
    It's a big catch.
    You must realize that printing really isn't that comfortable and that as a spoiled old Mac user I might be excused for wishing something more workable.
    The truth seems to be that I've got to carry all those docs on a USB-stick, move them over to the Windows-machine at our school and print from there - which is what I do on a daily basis already.
    All those workarounds that may or may not work (check out user comments on those printing apps!) are so annoying that my overall question remains pretty much the same.
    But I could also rephrase the question: Why can't I print from the so-called best tablet office app even if I am equipped with all the apps I apparently need?
    Please understand that this is not Apple-bashing in any way. This is a real problem for me in my everyday life. I won't be persuading my school to buy AirPrint printers just because of my little problem and I honestly don't want to spend more money on printing apps that seem never to even have gone through beta testing.
    Still, thanks for you efforts. I guess I'll just have to wait for Microsoft Office for iPad to get that big problem solved.

  • Why can't I print from Illustrator a non-faded print. It always prints as if I wanted a  proof or something.

    Why can't I print from Illustrator a non-faded print. It always prints as if I wanted a  proof or something.

    YOu have not provided any system info, version info or details about your printer. This is not going anywhere beyond stating the obvious - your system is not color managed.

  • Why can I not print from pages but can if I copy to text edit, I get "printer off line message " from pages ?

    Why can I not print from pages but can if I copy to text edit, I get "printer off line message " from pages ?  I use HP wireless printer .

    Are you sure you have the right printer?
    In UNIX/OSX printers are virtual links to devices and even with the same name can be trying to reach a printer via another network address, so it thinks it is another printer.

    I am running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3.  I believe I have the lastes drivers.  I bought the laptop and got the printer free with it in December.  I was initially able to print from the laptop but now says there is no connection. 

  • HT204387 Why can't I print from my iPad 2 to a Bluetooth enabled HP mobile printer?

    Why can't I print from my iPad 2 to a Bluetooth enabled HP Mobile Printer? My Bluetooth is on and the HP printer shows it's connected?
    Thank you Bruce

    Printing via Bluetooth isn't supported, the supported bluetooth profiles are on the page that you posted from. If your printer supports AirPrint then you can print to it via your wifi network.

  • Why can't I print from my ipad 2 on my epson workforce 840 printer??? it show that there isn't a printer on my Ipad and my printer is wireless .

    why can't I print from my ipad 2 on my epson workforce 840 printer  ??? it show that there isn't a printer on my Ipad and my printer is wireless.

    The 840 isn't supported by Airprint.  See the list here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    You may be able to use a universal printing app (check the app store), or Epson may make an app.  Or you could get a more up-to-date printer.

  • Why can't I print from my iPad using airport express

    Why can't I print from my iPad using airport express?

    Is the printer connected to the USB port on the AirPort Express?
    If yes, Apple does not support printing from the iPad in this manner. Try another App like Printopia which should allow the iPad to print. There is a free trial, so you will know in a few minutes whether this will work.
    Printopia - AirPrint to Any Printer - Print from iPad - Print from iPhone ...
    Is the printer connected to the AirPort Express using wireless only?
    If yes, you must have an AirPrint compatible printer to be able to print directly from the iPad. See if your model is AirPrint compatible in this Apple document:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    If your printer model appears, the printer may need a firmware update to enable the AirPrint feature. Contact the support folks at your printer manufacturer.
    If the printer does not appear, try Printopia as above.

  • Why can't I print from my 4s to my HP envy. I used to work and it still works from my air book?

    why can't I print from my 4s to my HP envy. I used to work and it still works from my air book?

    Morning thomas b olsen
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    How to print in iOS
    You can print from the Apple applications, such as Mail, Safari, Photos, Camera, Maps, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, Filemaker Go, and so on. Apps available from the App Store may also offer this feature.
    To print, follow these steps:
    Tap the action icon .
    Tap the Print button.
    Select the appropriate settings, and then tap Print.
    Important: If you are printing for the first time, or if the previously selected printer is not available, you will need to select a printer before step 3.
    Note: AirPrint displays only the essential printer options that apply to the document or image being printed. Details such as media type, page size, and orientation are automatically determined at print time.
    Hope this helps,
    Mario

  • Why can't i print from my e-mail

    I have a Presario CQ56 Notebook PC and a HP Officejet J6480 Printer. Why can't I print off my e-mail?

    Margiedance,
    What operating system are you using ?
    Have you installed the software ? If so are you connected through wireless, usb, Ethernet ....ect ?
    Can you print other things besides email ?
    Here is a link to the HP Print and Scan Doctor. You can select your operating system and then under Utility choose the download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. This helps diagnose and resolve most printing issues.
    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.
    I'm a printer tech with HP.
