Why can't I print web pages in Firefox 5.0 or 6.0?

I have tried to upgrade to 5.0 and, most recently, to 6.0. But I end up having to downgrade to 3.6 because I am not able to print from either 5.0 or 6.0. When I click on 'print preview' or 'print,' nothing at all happens. No print preview screen nor print dialogue box. I really wish this problem could be fixed. I won't be able to keep using firefox if I can't print web pages. If there is a fix for this, please let me know. Thanks.

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

  • Why can I not print web pages or Yahoo Email with version 4

    After uploading Firefox 4.0 several months ago, I am not able to print my Yahoo Email or other web pages.
    I can print from IE

    Jon,
    Unfortunately, Rave's response is quite incorrect on two major points.
    The Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver instance was indeed part of the Macintosh version of Acrobat Pro until a few years ago.
    However, it was NOT Adobe that killed the feature. Apple did! In one of the MacOS updates, Apple fully removed the capability that Adobe had to support this virtual printer. There was nothing that Adobe could do about this, regrettably. Adobe didn't cripple anything. Complain to Apple!
    However, Adobe does provide a replacement for it that will yield similar results, but it is not available in Acrobat or Adobe Reader!!! In most applications' print dialogs (such as Word) - which printer you select is irrelevant, click on the PDF button and select the Save as Adobe PDF option. This will save your document as a PDF file with Adobe technology. But again, this is not available from with Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
    However, you should note that the process that you previously followed and you would like to continue to use is commonly referred to as “refrying a PDF” and is strongly discouraged even where it continues to work under Windows. Why? The print function of Adobe applications including Acrobat and Reader is optimized for PostScript for printing, not for creation of PDF. Resultant PDF files have lost any transparency (it has been flattened) and all color management has been lost.
    What you are really trying to do is to create a pre-imposed PDF file from an existing PDF file. Going through PostScript was and still is a very bad idea.
    There are some third party plug-ins to Acrobat, such as Quite Imposing (Quite Software, <http://www.quite.com>) and PDF Snake (<http://www.pdfsnake.com>) as well as some “free” (you get what you pay for) solutions you can look up on the web that can do PDF imposition without ruining your PDF via PostScript.
    Hopefully this can assist you.

  • Can I print web pages from firefox using adobe pro 9 (Not using PDF download) and if so how

  • Why can I not print all pages in a multi-page document?

    Why can I not print all pages in a multi-page document?

    We are using Adobe Acrobat Reader, version 11.0. It's on a relatively new laptop (Windows 8) and accessing the internet through Mozilla. The printer is an HP Officejet. When I open a multi-page Adobe document and try to print all pages, I only get 1-2, have to then say print page 3, then say print page 4, etc. We use Adobe on our other laptop and it prints all pages of all Adobe documents and we have never had a problem and he accesses documents on the internet also through Mozilla.

  • 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.

  • Why can I only print first page

    Sophie Hubble which Adobe software or service is your inquiry in reference too?

  • All of a sudden I have problems printing web pages wwith Firefox 3.6.8 (XP), but printing pdf pages is still fine (printing with other software as well)

    Suddenly I can't print web pages with Firefox 3.6.8 anymore, but pdf pages pose no problem - the same applies to printing with any other software

    Thanks edmeister for your trouble!
    I guess I should have written that I had tried the tips on 'reset printer' and 'does not print to paper at all' before I posted the question - to no avail.
    The printer starts as normal: it's the right printer selected, the dialogue window shows the progress of sending the data to the printer - and after that: that's it. It simply vanishes from the queue, and nothing happens.

  • Why can't I print a page I need ?

    Everytime I want to print a page comes on that I need Adobe . I do as they instruct me but to no avail . Whats next ????

    It sounds like the person who created the document embedded JavaScript to check and the JS is failing inappropriately.  Try this,
    Download the file to your desktop.
    Close the document if still open in Reader.
    Temporarily turn OFF JavaScript by going to Edit>Preferences>JavaScript
    De-select the checkbox for enable JavaScript.
    Click the OK button
    Re-open the document
    Go to File>Print
    Click the Print/OK button.
    Did you still get the message?

  • On a Macbook Pro, I cannot print web pages with Firefox v 3.6.13. I can print if I use Safari, but no Firefox. Any ideas??

    When I try to print, it does not even appear to "connect" to the printer software. Normally, a printer icon will pop up in the taskbar, but this does not happen with Firefox. Also, in Mac, you have the option of saving the webpage as a pdf document. When I try it, it only results in a blank page. The Browser that comes with a Mac, Safari, works fine and prints. Not sure if it's a setting in Firefox or something else.

    Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4+ versions.
    You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    * browser.gesture.pinch.in -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReduce</b>
    * browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReset</b>
    * browser.gesture.pinch.out -> <b>cmd_fullZoomEnlarge</b>
    * browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReset</b>
    * browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> <b>false</b>
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    *Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
    *Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
    *Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set
    *Preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean)

  • Why can't I share web pages from Safari in ios8?

    ios 8 is supposed to be all great and wonderful. But a key feature I use has suddenly stopped working. When trying to share a link/URL from Safari vie email, the entire message disappears before sending is even possible. It vanishes as soon as I select the first recipient. It disappears if I try to enter a subject line. It disappears if I try to change my sending account.
    Yes, I restarted the iPad Air 128GB. No joy.
    I even tried to share through the Chrome browser, but had the exact same result. With Chrome, I have the ability to remove the app, and reinstall it in an attempt to troubleshoot. But how do I remove and reinstall Safari or the native mail app in an attempt to reinstall?
    IS anyone else encountering this problem? Or is it just something else I'm either imagining or doing wrong?

    Of course, before coming here to look for a solution, I tried everything I possibly could, including soft closing the apps, and rebooting the entire device.
    For the record, I just tried to send a link in the exact same manner from Safari on my 4S (which is now running ios8), and it, too, did the exact same thing. Unfortunately, I can't easily reboot the phone because the power button is having issues, but I would expect that a hard reboot would not work.
    Two completely separate devices behaving exactly the same way. This feels very buggy.

  • Why can I not print anything from a web page?

    Why can I not print anything from a web page?

    Thank you, but I still haven't solved my problem. I tried the reset suggestion. But I cannot find print.print_printer preference. Maybe the word "printer" is to be replaced with the name of my printer. But because of the warning that making any changes is a very dangerous thing to do, I hesitated to do anything.
    I have located the Print to file option, but it is not checked.
    This problem did not exist before the Firefox update of about 6 months ago. Today I downloaded the latest Firefox update, hoping that would solve my problem, but it did not.
    Thank you for your continued assistance.

  • Why can't I print a secured web page (https)? Win7, FireFox 5.0

    Whenever I try to print a secured web page using FireFox 5.0 nothing happens.
    I have to switch to Internet Explorer 9.0 to get the printed secured web page.
    I'm using win 7 Pro 32-bit on a desktop machine

    I tried the steps you indicated. It brought me to IE which I don't use, unless someone will die due to my decision. I hate monopoly, such as Microsof imposes to its customers. My printer works fine with any application, except with firefox, since I updated to version 5.0

  • Can't print web pages or e-mail from Firefox after update

    Since the last update, to 7.0.1, I can't print web pages or e-mail from my Yahoo! account. The computer says it can't communicate with the printer. I can print from Internet Explorer, Word, and Adobe Acrobat so I don't know why the computer is not communicating with the printer using Firefox. I am still running Windows XP--does this version of Firefox requires a newer version of Windows?
