Firefox is printing text normaly, but all images are printed reversed
I have a strange problem. When I print in Firefox, the text is printed properly, but the images are all mirrored and upside down.
Printing in all other applications is no problem. Also IE is able to print without problems.

Is that happening for all images being printed by that printer from Firefox?
Using Firefox do {Ctrl + P}, then make sure that printer is selected in the Printer - Name box, then open Properties and make sure the preferences to reverse or "mirror" images and flip images isn't selected.

Yes it is happening with all images being printed by this printer from Firefox. The text is printed correctly, only the images are mirrored and upside down.
I have checked all properties of the printer, but I have not found any preferences or settings regarding reverse / mirror / flip imaging.
I have never seen any prefs for that in Firefox, and two old Epson printers had those prefs for images - mirror & flip, but the two Brother printers I currently have don't. With Brother drivers its' mirror the entire page, text and images combined.
My advice is to reset all the prefs for that printer in Firefox, which will force Firefox to create new prefs fron the printer software. See this:

I have reset all printers strings in about:config. After that I closed Firefox and started Firefox again. Unfortunatly the problem stays. All images are still printed reversed. :-(
Sorry, I am all out out of suggestions. I am curious which brand and model printer that is, and whether it is an ink or laser printer.
It is a HP Color Laserjet CM1312nfi MFP. Connected via network. My wife is using the same printer under Windows 7 with Firefox with no problems.
We had a similair printer before this one, with less functionality (CM1312). That one was using the same printerdriver and was connected via USB. No problems with printing on that printer. We have replaced the CM1312 with the CM1312nfi connected via network. After installing the new printer I got this problem. My wife had a brand new computer at the same time and a brand new installation and has no printing problems at all.
Two PC's, one has that problem and the other doesn't - weird.
See if a new Firefox Profile changes that problem at all.

Thank you, but I allready tried to make a new profile, but that did not solve the problem. :-(
I think the problem might be solved when I remove the printer driver completely from the system. inlcuding all registry keys of the printerdriver. But I am not sure which keys in the registry need to be deleted...
