Hopefully the following article was suggested while you were submitting your question but, if not, please try the methods of resetting your printer settings:

Fix printing problems in Firefox

If you aren't comfortable editing the settings file, another way to clear those settings is as follows:

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful.

(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste print_ and pause while the list is filtered

(3) Right-click each preference that bolded and "user set" and choose Reset from the context menu. It's fastest to right-click with your right hand and then press R with your left to activate Reset.

The next time you try that printer, Firefox should re-read the Windows printer driver data and rebuild those settings. Any luck?
