Printing will not show up when I select print, only save shows. What can I do? When I use a different browser it works fine. Only when I use Mozilla, I can't print.

Hello. I can't print pdf files from Firefox but I can print them from Safari on my Mac. Using Firefox, I keep getting "The operation couldn't be completed. Permission denied." I have looked through Firefox settings and can't find anything about pdf file printing options.

when printing a PDF in two side mode, the text is moved to one side, I assume to allow for binding the pages. However this function does not work correctly as some pages have the text moved to the incorrect side. I had to use MS Edge to do the job which is something I do not like to do.

One annoying feature of Firefox is that during a print process, if the web page contains an iframe and that iframe utilizes a different domain name than the original page, Firefox will not print the data contained in the iframe. As a long time Firefox user, I would suggest that if I can see the data, then Firefox should print that data. Perhaps there might be some sort of security concerns involved, however at least give me an option to override it for certain domains. I do note that MS Edge does support the printing of iframes. The issue can be easily recreated on most eBay pages that list an item for sale. The 'Item description from the seller' data is contained in an iframe and does not print in Firefox.

A month ago I downloaded Linux Ubuntu 24.04.3 onto my Microsoft Surface Pro. Was never able to get the touch screen to work, but, the printer worked fine. After the recent Firefox update, however, I am unable to print. The preview page does not load. Not tech savvy, here, definitely not an administrator. How do I fix this? Thanks for any help.

Long-standing problem with Firefox: when printing some webpages with text on letter-size paper, the last sentence on a page is sliced off, with the remaining slice printing on the next page.

I put the same URL in the Opera browser, and across several scale factors, it breaks the page cleanly without slicing through thelast sentence.

A fix is long overdue.

I am trying to print this PDF file. When I print through Firefox, the "R" characters are replaced with "T"s Printing with any other application such as preview on my mac does not result in this issue.

I use the same laptop at two locations. I have different printers at each (both HP, one a laser the other an inkjet).

Most of my time is at location 1. Typically I can print without a problem. Recently in Firefox ONLY I have been unable to print at location 2.

Scenario:

1. I print to the laser printer at location 1. No problem.
2. I go to location 2 and choose to print - the print dialog appears with a "spinner" and it does not go away.

I have to cancel using Esc. I am unable to print at all from Firefox. Typically if I close Firefox after that, it looks closes but is still shown as running in Task Manager.

Other programs such as Word and other browsers bring up a dialog box showing that "the printer cannot be contacted" and allows cancellation. At this point I can choose the local inkjet printer and all is well.

HELP!!!!

Hi everyone, I’m managing an online bill information website, and some users reported an issue when they try to download or print a PDF bill using Firefox. Sometimes the print preview doesn’t load, or the layout breaks, while it works normally on other browsers.

Is there any recommended Firefox setting, extension, or workaround to prevent this issue? Also, is there a specific print CSS or PDF format Firefox prefers to handle better?

If testing is required, this is an example page where users reported the problem: https://fescoebillcheck.pk/

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

I recently experienced [not previously] in trying to print a received e-mail using the "print" item. When I clicked on the "print" word I received the following error

https://mail.yahoo.com/print/message/AFe0zTKlUhih9Gu_uzKg3tJ-XbE?appName=NOVATION_APP sent back an error.

Error code: 403 Forbidden

   Check to make sure you’ve typed the website address correctly.

Please advise how/where I may change a setting to avoid this error

I have a Brother DCP-L2550DW printer that is connected via a network cable. Any other browser, i.e. Edge or Chrome, seem to be able to connect and print just fine. Firefox fails to print and there is no information about why. I have checked Event Viewer, turned off all the extensions, tried the about:config to reset printer options. Every single suggestion I've found so far fails to fix it. I have a great deal invested in using Firefox (bookmarks, etc.) so I'd like to keep it as my default browser, but not being able to print is SO annoying. Any suggestions?

Here's a good example right here. If I tried to print this page, the icons above this box would print over the text on every page, making the text not readable. How can I stop the icons from printing???

I have a Canon TR8620 printer and a desktop PC. Yesterday I tried printing off a couple of text selections from two different sites. Both times the printer malfunctioned, printed the selection only partially and kept repeating this until I turned the printer off.

I contacted Canon support, and we went through a series of troubleshooting exercises, and he determined there was no problem with the printer itself. He suggested I tried printing from another browser.

I switched to MS Edge and successfully printed off two different items without a hitch. He and I both agreed that it appears to be a Firefox problem.

I recently updated Firefox to 144.0.2 (64-bit) and am suspicious the problem may lie there. I am running Windows 11 Pro.

I don't necessarily have a question, I just thought you might want to be made aware of this problem.
