I usually use Firefox to access my PayPal account and print shipping labels. For the past week, I get the following error message when I try to print the labels.

Printer not activated, error code -30.

I don't get this message in IE, but it is not a browser I like to use. This has been happening for the past week. What has changed in the last week which would render this problem.

It might be that your only "printing device" is not recognized as a physical printer. I get this error with Coupon printing Java apps because my printer uses a generic printer driver. Some would say "coupons (and postage) should only be printed once to reduce the chances of fraud"... I say "paper gets lost, let me print as I need"... they win...

The only workaround I ever found was to reinstall the printer driver, which did not work for me but it might for you...

I will try and see if this fixes the problem.
