If you want to exit the print preview and return to the browser, you have two options:
- Use the Android back button.
- Swipe the page from left to right to unwind back into Firefox.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if the Android Print Spooler doesn't detect my printer?
If your printer is not detected, ensure that it is properly connected to your Android device and that it is compatible with mobile printing. You may also need to install printer-specific apps or drivers on your Android device.
Why is the print preview taking a long time to load for a larger page?
A larger page with extensive content may take longer to render in the print preview. During this time, the user interface will indicate that it is loading. Be patient while it prepares the content for printing.
