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 .

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.

Try This!

1) Go to Print Preview 2) Print 3) Name: HP PSC 2100 series (depend on your printer) 4) Properties... 5) Paper size: letter 6) Change to Paper size: A6 7) OK 8) Repeat step 4 again 9) Change back again Paper size: letter 10) OK 11) Don't print, but go back to Print Preview again and see if it works

This is the one that have work for me after trying several times modifying about:config with no success. Good luck and hope that will help.
