About a month ago Firefox stopped printing. I've dug through MANY google posts, but refreshing, running in safe mode etc. don't seem to help.

The strange thing is that the print queue shows a file with 0 bytes. Same if I try to print to a file, the file that it prints to is zero bytes. Other browsers work fine. I have two printers and it does this with either one.

Thanks, I had already tried that. I found a solution though, I went into the second account on my computer and it works from there so I'm just going to move everything over, and use this original account.

Try using the "Print Using System Dialogue" under "More Settings" when printing.
