I have 4 different AMD machines in a wired, Windows 7 Home network. One is a print server and has 2 Canon inkjet Printers. All machines can print to both printers from all applications except Firefox (Latest version). 1 client machine can print to both printers from Firefox, another can print to one printer and the last cannot print from Firefox at all.

I have varied the defaults and refreshed and re-installed Firefox but there is no change. The Saved Settings for printing have been cleared.

There a large number of "Modified print settings" on the machine that can print from Firefox to both printers. This setting is absent in the other machines.

Is there a way in which I can get all the 3 client machines to print from the web on both printers?

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks very much, in hope

Many thanks for the reply Dropa but I have checked all 4 machines and both drivers are installed in all. It's Windows 7 32bit by the way. All the apps capable of printing can print to both printers w/o problems.

One machine can print to both printers , one can printo 1 printer if it is default but can't print to the other even though the print dialogue is visible but greyed out. The final machine on the network shows no print dialogue at all.

While it didn't solve the problem it made me check the drivers. It seems that Firefox doesn't always pick up the presence of the drivers whereas other apps seem to. I have tried all the windows text apps, .pdf files and Adobe PSE11 and they all print to both printers w/o any problems. Seems odd !

Thanks very much for your quick reply. The diagram shows the 4 machine wired network and the printers attached via USB 2.0 to Gollum (the Print Server). The TS705 was installed via the Canon setup CD and the iX6550 via the Canon driver, downloaded from the NET.

I think the installation became confused, as was I, over what was installed and where. Possibly the only solution is to delete all the drivers from spool > color on all the machines and re-install.

This only happened when the server was re-built following some mains surges which killed the earlier MB.
