WEB PAGES WILL NOT PRINT

[ArrenJ]

MY COMPUTER WILL PRINT FROM SAFARI AND OTHER PROGRAMS ON MY COMPUTER, SO I KNOW IT'S NOT THE PRINTER'S PROBLEM, HOWEVER FIREFOX WILL NOT PRINT FROM ANY PAGES. I'VE CHECKED THE CONFIGURATION, I'VE CHECKED THE SETTINGS, AND WHEN I GO TO FILE PRINT, THE PRINTER DOES NOT GO TO THE PRINTING QUE. WHAT IS WRONG? HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!

Perhaps it's scared because of you yelling at it.
Please turn your caps lock off. It's considered impolite on the web.
ps, Besides which, it's darn hard to read.

My web pages won't print either. The printer does have a download that works with IE except I don't like IE. Much prefer Firefox. Help

For some reason, it prints only the first page and not the others.
I've checked my printer settings but I'm baffled.

1. File > Print Preview will show you how Firefox will format a page for printing, if the Preview is empty you'll get nothing printed.
{Ctrl + P} on any page while in Firefox, is your printer selected in the Printer - Name: box?
Is the "print to file" box check-marked?

2. Printing 1st page only or 1st and last only:
There are number of Bugs that are affecting what you are experiencing. DIVs, I-Frames, and Tables that extend beyond the end of a page are what Firefox has a problem with.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=192129
Here are two lists of core print Bugs from just after 1.5b2 was released (over a year ago), I don't know which, if any, were fixed in 2.0:
Bug list 1
Bug list 2
Use another browser for page where you are having the problem. K-Meleon works on some pages that Firefox has a problem with; go figure, they use the same Gecko code.

I get around some of those problems by using the Nuke Anything Enhanced extension to remove the extraneous garbage from the page before actually printing, using Print Preview to see when the page is to my liking.

Still having trouble. In Firefox I had already tried File, Print Preview and just a blank page shows. Help?

[the-edmeister]

Is the correct printer selected?

type about:config in the URL bar and hit Enter
Preference name = print.print_printer
is the correct Printer showing?

That is interesting! I didn't know you could do that...But....yes, the correct printer is showing. help?

I use the YAML framework and although FF printed onlythe first page . :/

All I did was set the concerning div box class to display:block insted of display: table,- cause FF has a Problem with table printing----

so I recommend to take the concerning container / table and set it to "block" display. Hope that works./ will be helpful!?!

cheers.

I have a similar problem: when I try to print some web pages in a certain web application, I get only the first page printed (or viewed in Print Preview). My printer works OK, because I just printed word documents and other web pages. So, for sure the problem in the content of the web pages that need to be printed. Did anyone had this problem before?

[AndrewPLJ]

I have been ok on previous version of Firefox. Just upgraded my Mac OS to Snow Leopard and now upgraded Firefox to 3.6.3.
All other applications print normal, including Safari.
Printing from Firefox only gives me the last page (or first page if not using 'collated' feature) of the printout when it has multiple pages.
Recommendations please.
