Since upgrading to Firefox 5.0, I can no longer print using CTRL P or File Print. It will print if there is a print icon on a website, but if not, I am unable to print. Can you help me resolve this problem please?

I am unable to print when in firefox using CTRL P or even File-Print. If there is a print icon on a particular website, and I click that, then it will print. I have no issues printing using CTRL P or File-Print with any other application. This only started happening in firefox once I upgraded to version 5.0. I would appreciate any help you can give me to resolve this issue. Thank you.

Thank you for posting your list of installed Extensions. One of them might be intercepting the menu command. Since you have the Add-on Compatibility Reporter, it's possible that an older add-on that doesn't actually work well with Firefox 5 could be to blame. Could you try disabling the "HP Smart Web Printing" extension and see whether that makes any difference?

Also, you can simulate a print button on a web site by pasting this to the location bar and pressing Enter. You also can save it as a bookmark for easier access (when scripts are saved as bookmarks, we call them bookmarklets). Hopefully you won't need it for long.
