What are you doing to fix the printing problem in Win 10 Technical Preview?

I am beta testing the new Microsoft Windows 10 Technical Preview. I and many others are experiencing a problem with Firefox in this operating system. Web pages will not print from Firefox. When you send a page to the printer, it comes out blank, even though it displays properly in the the preview window. This problem exists on both 32 and 64 bit systems and only with Windows 10.

Some information related to this can be seen at: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_tp-performance/anyone-having-a-problem-printing-from-firefox-in/b05be085-d36f-426f-9224-fe36f8f55af0

I hope you can help with this problem.

There is a bug on file for this but it's still in the early stages of investigation, as you can see:

1089188 – Printing blank pages on Windows 10

I think someone with knowledge of Windows printing will need to step up and examine what has changed on the Windows print API side, or it could be a while before this gets addressed.

As long as you are experimenting, do you want to try:

(1) The Print pages to PDF extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/print-pages-to-pdf/ - this does not use Firefox's print code, but extracts the page to an embedded Webkit-based renderer.

(2) Waterfox: https://www.waterfoxproject.org/ - this unofficial third party build of the Firefox code is recompiled for 64-bit Windows. If this works correctly with your printers, it might be a useful data point.
