I have a networked Dell printer that is working fine. That is NOT the problem. I can print a Word file, JPEG, etc. with NO problem.

And I can print a webpage within Internet Explorer, no problem.

In short, it is not a printer problem.

But when I use Firefox and itry to print a webpage, the screen goes wonky--first, the screen image is "clouded over" and then "Printing (Not Responding)" appears. I'm given the option to wait or cancel. I can wait for hours, no change. I have to close out Firefox and use another browser.

What can this be? I'd like to go back to relying on Firefox, but then I can't print.
