How do I get back to the previous release of firefox?
After updating to v6 the print function does not print correctly. How do I get back to v5?

Check and tell if its working.
None of these solved the problem. It looks like Firefox is not able to print on anything other than 8.5x11 size paper. It is sure not filling up an 11x17 sheet of paper. Even the preview is for 8.5x11 and not 11x17. I have hundreds of pages of printouts on 11x17 size paper, but this was before v6. How do I get back to version 5?
Starting with the release of Firefox 6, the previous versions of Firefox (4.0.x and 5.0.x) are no longer maintained with Security and Stability updates. Firefox 3.6 is the last previous Firefox version that is still being maintained.
Firefox versions 4.0.x 5.0.x contain Security vulnerabilities that are known and could be exploited by some websites to gain unauthorized access to information or to disrupt critical processing. Only the Latest version 6.0 and an Older version 3.6 of Firefox are secure against these known vulnerabilities.

If you would want to Downgrade to Firefox 3.6.21, let me know.
With the correct printer selected, hit the Properties button and select 11"x17" paper. Then print something. That setting should hold until you change it to a different size of paper.
