When I try to print a web page, my documents library window pops up and says no file found.

I most often have to print information from a web site on a product or a procedure. I often get information from a site by email and when I try to print the page I get a new window that is my document library that lets me select what i have saved in My Documents and tells me no file selected . What setting do I have to change to get firefox to just print the page in front of me and not go looking in my library files?

Hi kevinvalcourt, the next time you call up the print dialog (e.g., Ctrl+p) can you make sure the box for "Print to file" is not checked? That's my best guess for why Firefox would show you a file browser at that moment.

A second possibility is that you are printing to a PDF or XPS printer driver, and those often need you to name a file before they can capture the printout.

Without seeing what is showing up and what email provider your downloading from that is hard to know what is happening when you click on the document to print.

Thanks to jscher2000, the system was choosing an xps. print driver instead. I working now.
