The printing quality is very bad when print from Firefox. It seems quality dpi< 150 although I changed print.default_dpi to 600 or 1200 but nothing happens. If I switch to "Save to PDF", quality will good. So I believe this problems come from the Firefox printing setting. When I print from another browser or another application such as Word, Excel, this problem never come. I also browse some topic about this problems and it seem no answer can be used. So is anyone here having the same problem as me? If yes, how can you resolve it? Please help to advise me. Thank you very much.

If the printing quality is poor when using Firefox, there are several things you can try to improve it. Here are some troubleshooting steps to address the issue:

Check Printer Settings: Make sure your printer settings are optimized for the best quality. Access the printer settings and ensure that the paper size, orientation, and print quality are set correctly.

Update Printer Drivers: Outdated or corrupted printer drivers can affect print quality. Visit the printer manufacturer's website and download the latest drivers for your printer model.

Use Print Preview: Before printing from Firefox, use the Print Preview option to see how the page will look on paper. Adjust the scaling or margins if necessary to fit the content properly.

Hi Jimmy,

Thank you so much for your reply and support. As I mentioned above, this problems don't come from printer or driver because if tried with another application such as Word, Excel or another browser, the quality will good. And you mentioned about print preview, I can say that the page look good.

Scroll to the bottom of the print settings and click "Print using the system dialog" to get more control over the output quality.
