All webpages give windows error (audible), but no error message, when printing with Ctrl+P. The same webpages will print in Microsoft IE 8.0.

I have reset printer in Firefox, updated, un-installed, re-installed, all add-ins or extensions, when printing worked, but has since stopped working again. I have minimum add-ins and extensions 'enabled' now, and printing still does not work. Curiously, the Firefox, File, Print Preview menu option works to preview the webpage, but it is then unavailable for actual printing.

Where on earth is the problem? Should I revert to previous Mozilla Firefox version?

Have you checked that your printer is fully functioning and that all the connections are correct etc? Have you also tried scanning your computer for viruses?

An automatic Firefox update from v6.0 to v8.0 yesterday had again prevented the same webpages being printed that previously worked fine (to paper or to pdf). These webpages will print to paper or pdf in IE8. The problem obviously lies with Firefox and its latest update. Pressing Ctr+P, an audible sound is heard once, and no print dialog box. in Firefox Menu Print-Preview the webpage is visible, but again Ctrl+P causes a warning sound, and no printing dialog box. I'm going to have to revert to a previous Firefox version. Anybody got a clue out there?
