Why does printing from firefox yield a blank page?

When printing on-line, the preview pane is blank and when selecting print, it puts out a blank page. I can print fine from Safari, but not firefox. I use a Macbook with OSX 10.6 operating system.

It sounds like you have a driver issue.  What printer do you have?  How is it connected?  What operating system?

  • Why does printing from the internet result in gibberish?

    When printing e-mails or information from the internet I end up with pages of gibberish rather than what I can see on the screen. The only way I can do it is to copy and paste into word. Anyone know why this happens? Is it a printer problem, or is a computer or internet setting thats missing?

  • Printing from firefox spits out extra blank page

    When I print from Firefox my printer firsts spits out a blank page before printing what was expected.

    I have a similar issue -- a page before is printed and after the actual document.
    yes -- the blank page appears in preview. I was able to get rid of the first one with this CSS:
    @media print {
    body * { float: none !important; }
    But I still get the blank page afterwards.
    Not sure why, but I'll let you know if I find anything else

  • I have a DVD I recorded from my tv.  I am trying to make copies and when I insert the DVD I get a message saying it is blank even though it is not.  My question are: Why does my computer think it's blank? And how can I copy a DVD?

    I have a DVD I recorded from my tv.  I am trying to make copies and when I insert the DVD, I get a message saying the DVD is blank, which it is not.  My questions are: Why does my computer think it's blank?  And how can I copy the DVD providing my computer recognizes there is content on it?
    Thanks, Sheila

    TV video typically is copyrighted content.  We'd be breaking several rules trying to help you.  Good luck!

  • For some unknown reason, I get blank pages when I print from firefox

    I used to be able to print from firefox. For example I used to be able to print fed ex labels. Then it about a few days ago it just starting printing blank pages. I thought I was out of toner but it its not the case. I can print from Word and other files but not using your browser.

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

  • Does anyone know why when printing from light room to pdf the program just closes on me? I've talked to tech support and they are going to get back to me tomorrow but I am desperate I have tuns of homework to finish !!

    No, but if you really mean that the way you said it, I don't know that Print is the best way to this. If you haven't already, after selecting the images you want to get printed, try clicking the Export button in Book or Library module and then selecting format .PDF. Once you export the file to .PDF, try opening it where you saved it and printing from there, not in Lightroom but in Adobe Reader. If that doesn't help, here are a couple of videos that might--follow their instructions carefully with no shortcuts:
    Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4's Export to PDF Using the New Book Module - YouTube
    Lightroom 5 - Exporting Images | Getting Started with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 | Adobe TV
    If Lightroom keeps closing even when you try all this, you may need to reinstall Lightroom because your copy may be screwed up.

  • I cannot print from firefox. I can print from open office. It seems to have something to do with when frames open because in IE, I can print a whole page, but when I try to use a print button embeded in a page or frame it does not work.

    Cannot print from firefox at all.
    In Internet Explorer, I was able to print by pushing the print button, but when opening a frame, like in mapquest, the embedded print button brings up an options window that has print frames options in it, but when hit OK in this box, a second error box comes up with a yellow exclamation point and nothing prints. I have a feeling that it is the same problem with both browsers, but would prefer using firefox. Can you help with this?

      Yes, I tried that.   The files were ordered by their original numbers as imported from the camera, but I batched them through Phocoshop to downsize all of them into a more manageable file size.   I opened that destination folder from quick time  from where it said select image sequence.   I clicked on the first one and opened it.   The result was a large image with an arrow indicating a movie was ready to go.   When I pressed the arrow, though, I realized it had only imported that one frame so there was no movie.   The files are Jpgs and are about 450 KB each. 
        To your knowledge are there any links to iMovie tutorials or quick time tutorials that may address this situation?  Maybe there will be one I haven't looked at yet. 
        Thanks

  • Can not print from Firefox/Linux

    Is there anything I can do to get a flash movie to print from
    Firefox or some other browser running under Linux?
    I created a program in flash that uses both flash and php to
    access MySql but when the data is displayed in the movie, it can
    not be printed. Tried the browser print button, flash menu and
    action script to print but only get blank page.
    Any Ideas?
    Linux Fedora Core 4, Fedora Core 5, Red Hat Enterprise Linux
    ES 4 - Tried Netscape and Firefox.
    I have not tried a different distro, could this be a RH
    problem?

    on peopletools 8.44 firefox is not a certified platform. from peopletools 8.48 they started certifying firefox and safari.
    please look into My oracle support for a list of certified browsers and platforms on Peopletools 8.44 release.
    please try to use IE as a default browser.

  • I can not print from Firefox, Firefox is not responding

    I can not print from Firefox on one PC in my office. At one time printing was operable from Firefox on this PC, the user told me about one month ago Firefox would no longer print.
    I went to the users PC - Windows XP Professional SP3 - Firefox opens no problem, I can go to any website, but when I click on the print icon, or file, print, nothing happens. I do not see the print icon in the task bar which shows you something is spooling, printing, I open Task Manager and I see Firefox is Not responding. I must end task.
    We can print anything else on the PC, Internet Explorer 8 prints successfully, just Firefox will not print.
    I also uninstalled the network printer, re-installed. Connected to another network printer, Firefox still will not print.
    I also uninstalled the latest version of Firefox on the PC 15.0.1, went back a few versions and Firefox still will not print.
    Can someone assist why Firefox refuses to print and when you try to print Firefox goes to a Not responding status ?
    Thanks,
    Bob

  • Cannot print to printer from firefox-- stopped after an update.

    After one of the periodic updates the print function stop working. The printer will cycle pper--but nothing prints. With a capture printer it will produce just blank page(s). The printer and all other print devices work fine from the desktop. I use a fax and some other pdf printers. All work from desktop--none from firefox. I have the lastest version--this machine takes automatic updates from firefox.

    The problem still exist. I can print to all devices from IE can not print to any in Firefox. It will give printer selection and go through the motions but only produces blank paper--no image or print at all. This came about after an update that may be has long has a year ago--the last time I tried to print from the browser was that long ago and I stopped trying when it did not work.
    I can: get a printer, select it and it will call the spooler and produce a blank sheet of paper per page.
    On IE I can print to all devices, fax, printer and other software.

  • Cannot print from Firefox

    For some time now I cannot print from Firefox. I thought it might be a glitch after an update, but have updated again since and it still does not work. If I try to print to a printer, nothing happens. If choose print and then save to PDF it seems to work, but then when I try to open the file I get an error message from Adobe saying "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired.". On the other hand, I can print and save to PDF from Safari without any problem. I am using Mac OSX 10.5.8, Firefox 6.0.2.
    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Hi,
    Please do a CLEAN install:
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a Clean reinstall. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    Note: You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    Windows:
    C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    Mac: Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    Linux: If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see Install Firefox on Linux. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.

  • Why does the Download Firefox doesn't offer me a language choice iso immediately deciding I have to like downloading it in e.g. Dutch because I'm e.g. in Brussels-a cosmopolitan city?

    Why does the Download Firefox doesn't offer me a language choice iso immediately deciding I have to like downloading it in e.g. Dutch because I'm e.g. in Brussels-a cosmopolitan city?
    When going to firefox.com and clicking the download button, immediately I get directed to the dutch / Nederlands version of the site and I only get the choice to download Firefox Dutch/Nederlands.
    I want the English version. Wouldn't it be better to ALSO have an option to select the language, wherever the software detects you're getting your internet connexion from?

    As people posted, You can select whatever language you want instead at the [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html Systems & Languages] link below the download button.

  • Why does Printing a document cause it to be changed?

    When I do page setup, etc, then SAVE the document, and then PRINT the document, the "Changed Bit" in the close box of the document is set, and I cannot just close the document.
    Why does Printing change the document?
    How can I avoid this. (If I save the document, then Print, I do NOT want any further changes)
    Thanks

    Bill,
    Complaints about actual program misbehavior or outright bugs need to get reported directly to Adobe. This is a users to users forum and while Adobe personnel occasionally show up here (much, much less seldom now than in years past) it is extremely unlikely that they will see or take any action on such reports here. (Although there WAS a recent appearance by an Adobe engineer who independently jumped on an issue that certainly did seem to be a bug).
    The kind of thing you've described is annoying and should not happen (yes, lazy programming) but it's interesting sometimes when the explanation for such things reveals intent (rather than ignorance of the apparent defect) in order to solve another problem.
    Want REAL annoyance? How about programs that insist on saving (when closing) simply because the file has been opened! That's very common on Windows. Really, really irritating.
    But this thread has gone beyond any usefulness regarding your observation of a very tiny pimple on a major gem of engineering. And you've locked horns with one of the major irritants on this forum. If you persist, the 2 of you will just appear to be 2 brats squabbling in a mud hole. He likes that. Do you?
    You seem like a nice guy (so far). But it also seems like you like fighting (from this and another thread). It would be interesting to hear more from you. My unsolicited advice? Move on. He will not back down from his childish behavior which is an irritant and embarrassment here to many people. Most of whom simply ignore him and don't stick their necks out like I'm doing now.
    He's shamelessly overindulged by the forum moderator who, with all due respect, seems to possess good judgment in most areas save his handling of certain very caustic and inappropriate "members." here. (Sorry Neil)
    Ramon is knowledgeable, but confuses the strange protection afforded by a keyboard hitched to the Internet as macho proof of bravado and fearlessness. (He's never "met" anyone who can make him stop posting anything he wants to. Isn't that special?)
    On this forum he is not a gentleman. (who knows what he's like in real life? I'll bet he's very different!) Are you a gentleman? Regarding your complaint that you've been insulted, duly noted. I believe most here are on your side. Persist with this for even one more post and you'll have lost your standing. Let it go, COMPLETELY! Start a new thread about something interesting.
    Welcome to the fray.

  • Printing from Firefox - Print defaults to LANDSCAPE. How to change to PORTRAIT? (Mac OS 10.8)

    Hello all. Printer type: HP Laserjet Pro CP-1525nw
    Printer Model: CE-875AOS: Mac OS 10.8.3Browser: Firefox v 20.0  When I print from Word or Excel, all is OK.However, when I print from Firefox, any website (example):http://www.gentrustwm.com/wp-content/uploads/GenTrust-Perspectives-April-2013.pdf It prints ONLY in Landscape mode. This truncates pages.I want to change the default setting to Portrait for all printing from Firefox and from Adobe PDF.I can't find a way to change the setting to PORTRAIT.  After Command/P, I see PRESETS/SHOW PRESETS/DEFAULT SETTINGS... this shows Orientation=Landscape. However, can't find the way to change the default. Please advise how to do this?  

    I have the same problem.   All of the sudden Firefox reverted to landscape default.    We have 3 HP printers and it does it on all printers It's not Yahoo or Gmail, it's everything we print in Firefox Any help would be appreciated
