Firefox Community Forum

Due to the lack of a suitable topic related to “print” options, I can only choose the topic related to persistence, "Download and Save."

The first image is part of the original webpage, where one of the buttons is selected.

However, in the print view (the second image), the selected state disappears.

I have switched across multiple devices, various versions of Firefox, and several different printers (MS Print to PDF or physical printers), and this phenomenon consistently occurs.

Firefox is my daily browser, but in order to print similar financial approval forms, I have to switch to Edge or Chrome to complete the task.

I hope Mozilla's excellent engineers can locate and fix this issue.

Thank you.

i use Firefox on an iMac running Sequoia 15.5 I can print everything except when I go to a Merrill Account and try to print . How can I prints without having to go to Safari?

The custom printer dialogue in FireFox is not good in handling non common printers or paper sizes, when printing with for example label printers it's annoying and adds an extra step since many option are not present or not sticking in the FireFox custom printing dialogue. I'd like to know if there is still a way in current versions of FireFox to completely remove this custom printer dialogue and go directly to the system print dialogue. This used to be available thru about:config setting, but it's no longer working in that way. Thanks in advance.

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.

Running Linux-Mint on my laptop. Trying to run an epson ET-2400 ink jet Printer. Need Driver for printer. I have seen some information about software that needs to be added to "talk" to the printer but I cannot find it now. Please someone help.

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 have an Arch Linux installation with Plasma desktop. Software is always kept up-to-date. Sometime recently, Mozilla apps, Firefox nor Thunderbird, will no longer print, neither to pdf nor to network printer. These always worked before. Now, if even "print preview" is invoked, the dialog opens as a blank sub window with only the word "Print" in upper right, and at left center is "Preparing Preview with rotating time delay wheel, which never resolves. All other apps, including other browsers and mail handlers, will print without issue. I've tried the obvious checks with no success. Where could be the problem? Is there a helper app shared by Firefox and Thunderbird that could be the issue? The only potential remedy I have not yet tried is complete removal of both Firefox and Thunderbird, as that would cause re-configuration issues for both. It's necessary to press <ESC> to terminate the print window when it fails to respond. Screenshot attached...

Hello there,

I'm a relatively new adopter of Firefox so please bear with me.

First off let me say that my Brother Printer is working fine. Word documents as well as non-PDF documents print correctly and cleanly from 3rd party applications as well as Firefox. That is until I open up a PDF document and attempt to print it and see: "Printer in an error state." Clearing out the print cue and or restarting the printer, does nothing to resolve this issue.

See attached image from the printer cue.

Digging into my system (Windows 11) everything appears fine, drivers are up-2-date, and all other applications that can use the printer do so without issue. Briefly re-installing Chrome, I'm able to print the PDF without issue. Which strongly suggests that this is an issue native to the Firefox browser. Odds are if I'm seeing this issue, loads of other users are as well.

Looking forward to your replies.... Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

'Running ver 137 and now cannot print to my system default printer. Tried the Troubleshoot fix and same result - defaults to PDF. Is there any entry in about:config to ensure system printer is selected. I have checked all system settings and brother printer is the default.

I am tired of this bullshit.

So i was using the beta branch of the firefox and beta version stopped working with a site for some time. so i tried to come back to the stable version.

After i do that and fix my config. In every couple of hours there would be a notification window pop up with sound saying this

"firefox this profile was last used with a newer version of this application. Please create a new profile"

So i did create a new profile BUT i copy pasted my own configuration.UI stuff from my old settings from "About:config"

This notification STILL comes up FFS what do i need to do then?

HOW COME MY UI CONFIGURATION TRIGGERS THE DAMN NOTIFICATION?

I will not re-do my fckng UI configuration by hand.

I cannot access the Epson ET-2850 Drivers and Utilities Combo Package Installer since the time has expired.

I checked and the clock in my computer is accurate.

ftp.epson.com has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.
