Printing from all other programs works fine including Chrome and Explorer. Ever since my Foxfire browser was updated to 29.0.1 I have not been able to print webpages.

When I hit print the computer does an audible "ding" and nothing happens. Doesn't matter if I choose File>print, f10, <ctrl> P or "print" from print preview, same thing happens.

The printer is on-line and recognizable by other apps.

No dialog box appears so I cannot choose a printer.

When I hit page setup I only get "format & options" and "margins & header/footer".

Help!

Hi, Thank you for your question. There are two things I would try. It is possible that the printer settings may need to be reset. Fix printing problems in Firefox or you Java may need to be updated. Check if they are up to date with Plug in check

Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems
