Just bought a HP F4580 Deskjet AIO. It seemed to install OK and printed fine with IE 8. It did not print with Firefox 3.6 which is my preferred browser. WIN XP Home--Dell Dim 2350

While you're in Firefox do {Ctrl + P}, does that printer appear in the Printer - Name box at the top? Can you select that printer and then print from it?

My printer works with Firefox 3.6 but the Web Printing feature is not available. Is somebody working on this?

If you are talking about the HP Smart Web Printing application not working in Firefox 3.6 versions, it is up to HP to fix it. Mozilla didn't create that application, and they aren't going to fix it.
