tried that and didn't work. :(

I did a system restore to the evening before (when it worked perfectly) and working fine now.  lesson learned: don't fix what's not broken!

Currently you have two versions of your printer software being recognized by Firefox. Is the (2) printer selected in the Printer - Name dialog box??
print.printer_HP_Officejet_6500_E709n_Series.print....
print.printer_HP_Officejet_6500_E709n_Series_(2).print....
