When I try to Print a Web Page or Pages I am always given the option to save the Web Page or Web Pages as a PDF file.

I have several Printers which can convert Web Pages to PDF files but when I use use my default printer Epsom 415 I am still directed to save the PDF file Print. This happens with all Web Pages

File > Print - then you see the "native print dialog" box, what is selected in the Printer - Name box at the top?

Thank you for your reply. When I open the Print Menu I get "File - Save As" a PDF File. No chance to choose my default printer.

The print Menu on my Laptop running Windows 7 works fine.

My Laptop uses exactly the same set up as my Desktop which runs Windows XP I have used Firefox for over two years and never have had a print problem. I have always been able to convert Web Pages to PDF files when wanted and I have always been able to print Web Pages with no problem.

Thank you.
