I tried to print a coupon from an e-mail and the message I got was "unknown printer error". I am able to print from word and other items on my desktop and also from another browser. I cannot print anything using Firefox. I have not had any updates recently and the problem seems to have happened spontaneously. Can you help.

Make sure you reset all the prefs for that printer.

Thanks it worked. Actually I tried that before I posted my question. I went back and rechecked and I had missed one item. Turns out it made a difference. I can now print my coupons.
