Hi, I am printing some documents and would like to print some in black only to save the colour cartridges, when I press the print button and press properties to change options nothing happens. Works fine in other browsers but I prefer using Firefox. Thanks for any input.

Several printer issues can be resolved by resetting Firefox's printer settings:

In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click I'll be careful, I promise! to continue to the about:config page. In the Search field, type print_printer. Right-click on the print_printer setting and select Reset. Click the menu button and then click Exit When you start Firefox again, try printing the page with which you had problems previously.

Don't use the Print button - try using { Ctrl + P } instead. See if that works for you.
