On Windows 7 running Firefox 3.6.10, I cannot print to a Windows 7 network printer. Firefox crashes every time as soon as I hit print.

However, the situation is very specific. I can print from Windows XP using Firefox 3.6.10 to a Windows 7 network printer. I can also print from Windows 7 using Firefox 3.6.10 to a Windows XP network printer. The only situation that doesn't work is using Firefox and printing from Windows 7 machine to Windows 7 machine.

Firefox is also the only program that does not print. I can print using Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, MS Word, MS Excel, and every other application just fine. Firefox is exclusive in that it is the only program that crashes and refuses to print. The drivers that are being used a PostScript drivers.

I have tried multiple versions of Firefox from older ones to the Firefox 4 beta and the program crashes every time.

Again, the only time it crashes is printing from a Windows 7 client computer to a Windows 7 network printer. Printing from XP to Windows 7 and from Windows 7 to XP works.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. The only program I've noticed the problem with is Firefox, so I'm assuming it's a problem at the application level.

Here is the Crash Report for a user more experienced at reading Crash Reports than I am:

Here's a search for that particular Signature - OPBinaryCookedPortWrite
Looks like a Windows problem, but not restricted to Win7 or 3.6.10 - there's one on Vista SP2 with Firefox 3.6 and another with 4.0b6 on Win7.

I solved the problem. It ended up being a driver issue. I was using the correct most up to date PS driver for the printer and it worked with every application but Firefox. When I switched to the manufacturers Universal Print PS drivers, it worked perfectly fine in Firefox as well as all the other applications.

Hope this helps anyone else who has my problem.
