Cannot print from Firefox. 3.6.13. Tells me it is printing but only a blank page comes out of the printer. Safari works fine, but I like Firefox. Using Mac 10.6.5 .

Chosen solution

Probably caused by a Bug in Firefox, which is supposed be fixed in Firefox 4.0 versions. Until Firefox 4 is released, my suggestion is to use Print Preview and if the preview is blank use Safari to print that page. This extension will allow you to right-click in Firefox and open the same page in Safari, so you don't have to copy'n'paste the URL.

Check Print Preview and see if that is blank, too.

Print preview is blank. Unable to figure it out, but it must have something to do with the update.
