Firefox Community Forum

Every time I try to print multiple copies of a document (PDF or word, not printing a webpage), the printer instead shrinks the page size to around 1/4 size on normal letter paper.

I have checked all my printer settings, reset firefox printing settings, reset computer printing settings, and gone into all the printer menus directly. Even if the page size is set to 100% size, it will still print as a 1/4 image as long as I am trying to print multiple copies directly from the firefox browser (or Firefox PDF viewer).

I also tested it on multiple printers as well as single vs double sided. On Firefox, if you print multiple copies of any document (not screenshot or print-webpage) it will shrink it into a quarter sheet. This works against double sided and single sided.

As for the types of documents: this is for every .docx or .pdf form printed off of Firefox (even pre-existing .pdf documents opened in the Firefox pdf viewer), as long as I am printing multiple copies. If I open the same .docx or .pdf in Adobe, the issue does not arise.

Both me and another coworker have the same issue (both use firefox) and other browsers do not have the same shrinking issue while printing. I believe it started around a month ago?

I am trying to print a statement, In the text itself it is the correct font size; however, when I print it is so small I can hardly read it. How do I increase the size of the printed statement

I am on Firefox 152.0 (64-bit).

When I view a pdf in Firefox it looks centered like a normal page.

When I send it to print from there, it left justify the pages. I have tried changing the Scale, Margins. The paper size is Letter 8.5" x 11". I have 2 different Canon printers (laserjet and inkjet) and no difference.

If I download it and open it with Microsoft Edge and send it to print, it prints centered like a normal page.

I have tried to search articles on this topic. They were all very old. Some says to make changes in about:config in the address line. I tried a couple. Yet no difference.

Hope you can help.

Environment:

Firefox on Windows Web app prints PDF by creating an iframe with a blob URL, then calling iframe.contentWindow.print() Library behavior is similar to print-js (PDF iframe print flow) Problem:

When Firefox PDF handling is set to “Open in Firefox”, printing mostly works. When Firefox PDF handling is set to “Save File”, the same blob iframe print flow often fails: print preview shows blank page / about:blank or preview shows an extra trailing blank page print dialog options also differ from normal PDF preview flow What I already confirmed:

iframe src (blob URL) looks valid and similar in both settings issue is reproducible with same PDF data fallback to image-based printing works but degrades UX (different print panel/options, possible scaling differences)

I selected SETTING for this question, from the dropdown menu "Which topic best describes your question?" because none of the selections are relevant for my question" which is about printing all "articles" on a yahoo news page such as:

https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/emmanuel-macron-hot-mic-reveals-151653489.html

If I simplify the printing I only get the first "article" on the page which, in the example I gave above is headlined with:

"'I'm the boss', Trump says at G7, as he warms to Ukraine's war aims"

If you page down you'll find the second "article" headlined:

"Trump says Iran deal averted 'economic catastrophe' but says he could still restart war"

If I specify simplify when printing the page, only the first article is printed.

Is there a way to print all of the articles using simplify?

UPDATE: I tried selecting reader mode but only the first article shows in browser window and prints.

I've used Firefox since Revision 15. I've used Adobe Acrobat 9.5 Pro Extender for almost as long.

I have Win 10 Home, all updates applied. My system is 64-bit. It has 32GB of RAM. Some tabs - e.g., www.yahoo.com/finance - balloon and consume so much RAM, that I have to restart Firefox.

After most recent updates 151.0 Adobe no longer will print to .pdf. This is HUGELY disruptive.

Having used computers for work for over 45 years, I understand it is hard to ensure that an update does not become a down-grade.

I do not want to to move to a newer version of Acrobat. What I have works well for me.

Can someone PLEASE make whatever changes are needed, so that Adobe Acrobat works smoothly?

I recently started to have a printing problem in Firefox on Windows 11. My Brother DCP-T720DW works fine with other applications like Word and Notepad, but when I try to print from Firefox, sometimes I get a "Printer not available" message or the print dialog incorrectly shows the printer. For troubleshooting, I uninstalled and then reinstalled the printer driver following the official Brother download page: https://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadtop.aspx?c=us_ot&lang=en&prod=dcpt720dw_all Since that didn't fix the issue, I also downloaded and reinstalled the driver from: https://printerdrivers.com/brother-dcp-t720dw-driver/ Windows detects the printer and is able to print test pages, so it looks like the problem is only with Firefox. Here are the things I have tried: Restarting both Firefox and Windows Uninstalling and reinstalling the printer Resetting Firefox settings Running Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode Making Brother printer the default one

Has anyone else had the same issue in which Firefox refuses to detect a printer that works correctly in other applications? Is there a print setting or preference in Firefox that might cause this? Thanks in advance for any advice.

hej, you write oh dear, no print is possible :-((( but you write to me, that I have win10... but it is a new machine with win 11...and firefox does not work, i cant se my mails?!?!!?

I was attempting to print a document I created through a 3rd party site, but on the Firefox browser. Unfortunately, when I attempt to print, the document includes the website I'm using, along with other information that is not related to the document. How can I prevent Firefox from including that text when I print? I was unable to locate the correct setting. Thank you.

Previously, when printing a website, you could select the text on the page and then click print and then there was an option (Print SELECTION) that would allow you to print only the highlighted text.

I cannot find that option on the modern firefox print window/dialogue?

I tried to print directly from a website, but it will not print. If I print an image or PDF, it will print just fine. I am currently using Firefox 135.0.1 on a macOS Sequoia 15.3.
