Windows 7----2 different computers & then the Star tsp100 receipt printer would print & then just keep rolling out the paper until unplugged. I uninstalled 24 & finally found a place to download 23.0.1 & installed that back on computers & now receipt printer works correctly again. Any help?

Some Point of Sale systems automate Firefox by sending keystrokes, and when these change, there can be problems. However, I can't think of any changes in the area of printing off the top of my head.

Hi mtnwindsong, I don't think we have enough information to know what is going wrong.

Maybe it's something about the page you're printing. Perhaps it contains something that Firefox interprets differently than before. Is there a sample of it online somewhere for testing?

Or perhaps it's not related to the content, but to a new incompatibility with your printer driver. ?? When I search for any FAQ containing Firefox on the Star Micronics site I come up empty. I did find some driver downloads you could look into to see whether one of the more updated ones works better.
