Firefox runs perfectly for everything except that when I try to print a crossword puzzle I receive the statement: "windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." However, I can easily print the item using "Explorer." I went to Microsoft support and received their canned response with several methods of solving the problem. Each of their solutions say to "right-click the file or folder and select "properties." When the item is right-clicked "properties" is not one of the responses. Please advise.

Try to reset the print prefs.

You can check for sandbox security related issues.

You can set this pref to 2 or 1 on the about:config page to lower the sandbox security setting.

  • security.sandbox.content.level = 1
  • close and restart Firefox to make the change effective.

If '1' still doesn't have effect then try '0' to disable the sandbox.

If this didn't work then undo/reverse the change and reset the pref via the right-click context menu to the default value.

The System Details list shows some printing related extensions.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Appearance
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window

Note: Any customization will revert back to default, you will also need to reinstall Extensions.

Many thanks for sticking with me on this perplexing problem. Because I am a novice it took me a while to finally figure out my way around the fix. After going to "about:config" and resetting the preference "print_printer" all is now working just fine. I appreciate the time you devoted to sticking with me on this problem. Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year.
