Printing Issue
Ever since I up-dated my Firefox several update ago I can no longer print some pages properly. I am on an iMac running macOS 12.5. I also have a Windows laptop that prints fine with Firefox. I see the print problem all the time when I download the pages I want to print. I am using an Epson Workforce Pro WF-4720 with their latest and greatest software and firmware updates.
I can provide images if needed.

You didn't say exactly what's going wrong, but I have a guess:
Firefox 103-104 for Mac have a bug with printing PDFs. If the PDF contains embedded images or consists of one huge image, the image is not scaled correctly, so this happens:
- Embedded images: the image is enlarged within its original boundaries and much of it gets lost
- Entire PDF is an image: the image flows off the page regardless of what kind of scaling you try
There is a bug on file for this, and hopefully there will be a fix in Firefox 105.
For now, I'm not aware of any workaround to make it work in Firefox. You can open the PDFs in Preview or Acrobat for printing. Here's how to do it on a one-by-one basis:
- For PDFs that show an https:// address, use the download button on the viewer toolbar to save it.
- For PDFs that show a file:/// address, click the Downloads button on the toolbar, right-click (Ctrl+click) the item, and open in Preview/Acrobat/System Viewer (the display may vary).
If this is a frequent problem, you can change the way Firefox handles PDFs by default to either ask how you want to open the PDF or just automatically open it in Preview or Acrobat. This support article has the details: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/view-pdf-files-firefox-or-choose-another-viewer
