Just updated to Firefox 13 (Mac OS 10.6.8) and now cannot print to pdf or print - preview or print to real printer. Error message says "Printer Error : an unknown error occurred while printing"

Thanks ideato for the tip. I did try resetting the printer, and editing the pref.js file and then resetting FF itself. Unfortunately it did not seem to make a difference. I might add that after the error message FF ends up crashing each time.

Is there anyway to revert back to version 12?
