My laptop is running MS Vista home prem. Firfox 4.0, Mozilla forefox yahoo! edition 1.8

I can highlight and print text selection, print entire text page, or just print a jpg photo from all sites while in firefox. Result is it prints only 3/4 inch wide strip from top to bottom of page and the rest of the page is blank.

If I execute the exact print functions of the exact txt or photo via IE or Safari all prints fine over entire page.

Another problem: Also I when I would right click on a photo and perform "save an image" it firefox seems to be working fine and it saves the photo but when you attempt to display it later it is just text garbage.

thanks for your help. tom

Try the reset described here:

Make sure you reset the margin prefs for that printer.
