Suddenly I cannot print any web pages from Firefox. It was printing one day and not communicating with the printer the next. Did not happen with an upgrade to Firefox or plugins. Printer dialog came up but nothing sent to printer.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== suddenly- no known reason

Can you print something in some other program? Do you select your printer when you go to File-Print?

I cannot print from Firefox either all of a sudden. Maybe first thing in the AM, it will print something but then, that's it. I am running OX 10.5 too and using Firefox 3.6.8. I am ready to stop using this!! I like it but it is frustrating. I am on my mac all day for work and cannot find a solution to this Firefox problelm. Maybe Mozilla can help me. Anyone have any answers? I use a HP Laserjet 2300L. Thanks. Amy

Amy,

See if you can print in a new window when that happens.

I can print from quark or any other program. I just cannot print from anything that I need from Firefox plus I can't print emails. Sometimes, first thing in the AM, my HP will print the first email of the day but that's it. Then nothing but a small error message in the upper left hand corner of a page. I welcome any suggestions. Yes, I have selected my printer and yes, I have tried to print in a new window.
