Never had a problem, suddenly can't print a webpage. Instead of everything on the page, it only prints about 20% of the horizontal line, starting from left margin; the printed part is centered on the paper. Also, the amount that is printed spans five pages, when normally I could print the webpage on a single sheet. Maybe the best description is that the printed appearance looks as if the printer thinks the paper is 2.5 x 4 inches. Have checked paper size, margins, etc.

Are you checking Properties for that printer from within Firefox?

Did a printer reset and that fixed the problem. Got so focused on checking all my settings I forgot about that universal antidote! Thanks for your prompt and helpful reply.
