Try to print a webpage or selection therefrom. When 'file'- 'print' selected on Mozilla tabs, it does not work. The print menu appears but when 'print' clicked, the 'save as' menu box appears. When 'save as' is closed a dialog box appears saying 'unknown error while printing'. Cannot print webpage unless from a screensaver (ie whole screen). This has only happened recently (update maybe). Tried on Windows Explorer and all ok

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

Having checked problem existed at all locations - found idiot finger trouble. When selecting 'print' noticed that 'Printer Selected' had been changed from my normal i865 to 'Microsoft Office Document Image writer'!!!!! Once changed back all O.K. Thanks for your trouble
