New win 7 64 bit computer. Sharp AL1451 printer has no 64 bit driver, so I cannot use with Win 7. If I install FireFox 32 bit version, can the printer be installed and will it find the 32 bit driver? The printer is OK on old Win XP 32 bit system.

Chosen solution

If the printer can't be installed on Windows itself, Firefox can't find it. you can try using an older version of windows' drivers for the printer (eg. a vista driver on windows 7) that sometimes works. But no, Firefox doesnt have printer drivers and can't. It relies on the Operating system.
