Why have mac OS 10.5.8 printer settings been restricted in Firefox

When I call for a printing of a page in Firefox, my Epson NX420 will no longer allow plain paper as a media option in printer settings, but only photo and presentation papers; and it allows only the Best Photo option under Print Quality. In both cases, other options are grayed out. Gray Scale is also grayed out.
Why have the grayed-out options become unavailable in Firefox (but not, e.g., in Chrome)? How can I restore them?

Try updating to the latest 23.0.1 version of Firefox, and see how it is.

Go to the website of the manufacturer of your printer and check to see if they have released an updated driver for your particular model.

Printing settings not holding in firefox

When printing a document from Amazon my Canon Laser D480 wants to print in landscape mode even when I set the parameters in windows to Portrait Mode setting. Printing a MS Word document works properly. Is Amazon sending false printer settings?????
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Why would mac disconnect from a wireless printer used for years?

The printer used is a Brother, and the reports show that the WLAN is ok and the network configuration is all set up. restarted printer and computer. Deleted printer and tried to add it again and Mac won't do anything. connection with the printer is lost.

Hi,
I'm not sure about the cause of your problem and I'm no expert, but since you only seem to have trouble when you awake the mini, let me give you a few ideas...
On the D-Link Home/DHCP: what is the lease time of the DHCP server? If it is short, try setting to 1 week. Maybe your lease expires while your mini is in sleep mode and then your mini can't get a new IP since it is already "connected"?
On the D-Link Advanced/Performance: what Preamble Type is selected? Short Preamble has given me trouble in the past, so try changing it to Long Preamble, which seems to work better with Macs.
My Mini is connected to a D-Link DI-624 and it has always worked like a charm, but I don't put my computer to sleep for long periods of time (couple hours at most), so I never experienced that problem.
Good luck!

Why have I lost the ability to print pdf files?

All of a sudden I can't print pdf files. The print screen shows a blank file and it prints blank, of course.

This doesn't sound like it is a FornsCentral issue unless you have this problem only with PDF generated from FormsCentral.
Let me know if that is the case. Otherwise you should ask your question on the Acrobat or Reader forum

Why have my 20,000 photographs from iPhoto not been transferred to photos in your recent iOS upgrade

why do you make life difficult when you issue upgrades . Surely you should check that they do what you say they will do!!
IiPhoto becomes photo , easy peasy you say photos from iPhoto library will automatically transfer across to photos .
bit of a let down when you find that out of 20,000+ photographs NOT ONE was transferred from iPhoto library . I take it that I have got to sit in front of my screen and transfer one by one , because to my horror tried to update from my Time Machine back up it does not transfer album data across at all . Heart felt thanks for that guys !
ALso so some of the shots won't transfer because metadata is compromised .
CAn I revert to Iphoto and get rid of photo ?

You have to open your iPhoto library with Photos to convert it to the Photos format. Launch Photos with the Option key held down and check to see how many libraries are presented in the window. If there is a Photos library open it to see if there's any photos. If not then you haven't opened the iPhoto Library with Photos to convert it. So launch Photos again with the Option key held down, select the iPhoto Library and let it convert.
Also, the iPhoto application is still in the Applications folder. It was just replaced in the Dock with Photos. If you were using iPhoto 9.6.1 before upgrading to 10.10.3 you can still use it with your iPhoto Library.

Hi, I am trying to print to an HP4050n via a secure wireless network. It prints but the default page setting sent to the printer is JIS B5. I have to hit the "Go" to get the printer to print. I have the correct setting in my Printer Settings (Letter).

I am attempting to print via a wireless (secure) network to an HP4050n printer. The document prints AFTER I choose "GO" on the printer. It is waiting as it wants me to load the JIS B5 paper/tray. I have the printer defined as Letter but in spite of that, it is requesting a different setting. I am thinking that because I am using the Generic PCL setting (I also tried the HP 4/5 PCL ) it is not communicating correctly. It does print once I get up and hit the GO button.
Any ideas? Thanks.

The paper size would normally be coming from the application rather than some setting in the driver. I've never seen the Generic PCL driver send a request for B5, but then I do use A4 rather than Letter and I don't have a PCL printer at home to check this. But I do think it has more to do with the application/document being printed.
For the application that you are using, is there are a separate Page Setup menu?
If the page and document is correctly set to Letter, you mention a wireless secure. If you mean something more than a wireless network that requires a password to access it, such as using https to connect to a remote server, then it could be settings for the shared printer queue. Although these shared printers are usually just an access point (throughport) for the remote client. Still, if you do have some additional network server for this secure wireless network, then this could be contributing to the incorrect paper size call.

Just updated to Firefox 4.0 and can't download former 3.6 version as suggested by others...what can I do since I have Mac OSX 10.4.11 and can't download older Firefox version?

When I went to the website suggested in the forum to download the older 3.6 version of Firefox, there was nowhere I could click to download this older version. Firefox recommends and had a place to click on downloading 4.0. How can I get the best of both without having to upgrade my Mac OSX? Please send me a reply ASAP! Thanks!

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5. You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

Why have I begun I receiving so many unresponsive script messages with firefox?

In the last 3 months I have begun receiving unresponsive script notices all the time.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

Why have many of my add-ons and extensions been disabled after switching to firefox 6

Many of my add-ons and extensions have been disabled after switching to Firefox 6.
None of the Java extensions can be used;
my Microsoft frame is disabled;
my media player is gone;
and my google toolbar with all of my important bookmarks is missing.
How can Firefox 6 be considered an "upgrade"?
How can I '''retrieve Firefox 4 or 5'?''--there's no point in using a browser that limits so many necessary add-on sites!

Hi, mhaoo7--
Tried your plugins updating suggestion; no go.
Then tried updating to FF7.
This time the Yahoo! toolbar was no longer compatible with FF.
Scoured sites discussing problems with versions 6 & 7
and decided to retire to version 3.6.19.
Now both Google and Yahoo! toolbars are re-installed and
working....Only deficit may be that FF no longer supports or
soon will not support this version.
I have stashed all of my necessary bookmarks on Google's toolbar;
I like its drop-down menu as it doesn't change the page/window I'm
in the process of using;
I don't want to see that menu listed separately in a new window (too chaotic).
Same for the Google dictionary and Thesaurus, which are straightforward
and easy to use, again requiring nothing more complicated than a drop-down menu
to search for words and concepts.
--I checked Firefox 6 and 7's Dictionary/Thesaurus options but unfortunately
found none.
So if Firefox continues to upgrade with diminished returns, I'll likely have to go
to Google Chrome.
Would rather not do that.
Maybe I can keep FF 3.6.19 without incurring nasty repercussions.
Hope so.
Have enjoyed being with Firefox for a few years.
Thank you for your attention.

HT201272 why have only half of my apps come up on my new ipad

why have only half of my apps come up on my new ipad?

Do you mean that they don't show in the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your iPad ? If the app is no longer in your country's store then it won't show, you can only redownload those that are still available. Also if you've changed countries since you bought them then they also won't show in the Purchased tab. Or do you have an app age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that might be hiding them ?

Printing Ignores Print Settings

Our mac seems to be ignoring printing settings and preset settings. We keep a black ink only fast draft setting for normal printing because it is fast and saves ink. However, all applications seem to be defaulting to High Quality, Photo Paper, Full Color, regardless of what is selected in presets. We have to select another preset, and then reselect our draft preset for the changes to stick in the print window. Then, sometimes the application will print according to our settings, and other apps just print in high quality full color anyway. This is a real time and money waster. Any suggestions?

Cannot change print settings, print on foto size

When I want to print a webpages the printer (HP6380) prints in the format 10 x 15 instaed of A4. I tried changing the settings in printermenu but it did not help...

When reading your '''More system details...''' for the HPOfficejet 6300 series printer, the paper height is set to 11.0 and the width to 8.5 - '''inch''' settings for Letter size paper - not metric settings for A4 sized paper.
Where are you checking the setting for A4 paper?
{Ctrl + P} to see what is known as the "native print dialog", then check to make sure that printer is selected in the Printer - Name box at the top, and then hit the '''Properties''' button. The preferences that appear there are what Firefox uses. Settings that appear elsewhere or the "default" printer settings aren't what Firefox uses.
