I can no longer print any web pages with the latest Firefox version 40.0.2 Saved PDF's I can no longer print as well. I did go to this link: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-printing-problems-firefox#w_check-firefox-page-settings When I try to print, I receive a popup box immediately " Printer error " with a yellow exclamation mark " an error occured while printing. " On the link page : 1. I cant try. I recieve an error 2. I can print in Explorer and have only one printer to work with. 3. Tried reset Firefox printer settings. No luck. 4. Tried reset all Firefox printer settings. Believe I did it correct. After I delete and save then what ? Tried printing, no luck. I replaced the original file with the copy I made. 5. Nah.

Before the update, I was scanning some documents using Windows Live Photo Gallery. Everything worked fine, I could also print. I have Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2 with Microsoft Word 2010.

Any suggetions? Thanks

Try doing the Reset all Firefox printer settings mentioned on that support page.

Ya, on the support page, I did try that. It was unsuccesful. I closed Firefox and reopened the file, and all the " print_ " lines were gone. But, I had no luck. I can try it again if someone has any information as to what to do after you save the modified file. Maybe I'm not grasping the obvious. I tried printing a test page with the modified file and still recieved an error. Put the copied original file back in and still recieved an error.

When you open the print dialog box using { Ctrl + P }, is your Printer available for selection under Printer > Name?
