Very recently printing from any URL via Firefox is no longer possible since installing Firefox 4.0.1. I get messages about SAVING an .xps file. How can I regain printing capability? IE 8.0.6 prints as usual.

{ Ctrl + P } is your printer selected?

Make sure the default printer is set correctly in Windows control panel. It sounds like the XPS converter (Microsoft XPS Document Writer) included with Windows is currently set as the default.

My default printer was "Epson Stylus Photo R1900 Series" as usual. There were two or three printer icons with XPS in their names. I deleted all with XPS in their name. The printing began working immediately! THANK YOU.
