I am unable to print any web page content in Fire Fox (FF), however the same web content prints in Explorer. HP 6520 printer acts like it is going to print, but a window pops up saying "an error occurred while printing" and the printer spits out a blank page. I explored FF "about:config" as recommended in various articles; none of the cited issues exist and everything seems okay. I tried resetting FF print to default settings with no change. FF used to print, but at some point it developed this problem. Unfortunately I can't pin point when it started or whether the problem came after an update. It is a major pain to run Explorer to print something.

Not all pages are friendly to being printed by browsers some work better in other and some not so good. You have to find which work for which site and use that to do the printouts.
