Firefox can't print

Whenever I try to print, my printer warms up but nothing is printed. I don't get any error messages, it happens regardless of what site I'm trying to print from and I don't have any problems printing from Internet Explorer or any other program. I've been through the troubleshooting suggestions at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-printing-problems-firefox to no avail.

Update: I did some more diagnosing and the problem seems slightly different than it initially seemed; "printing" to Microsoft XPS Document Writer results in a blank document, which, again, doesn't happen with Internet Explorer, so I enabled printing of blank pages in the printer properties and now trying to print from Firefox results in an empty page being "printed".

Well, not exactly an ideal solution but refreshing Firefox resolved the problem. For anyone else having the same issue: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/refresh-firefox-reset-add-ons-and-settings

Are you sure that it is the web browser and not the printer? That sounds like a printer problem like it might be out of ink, or it is broken.

Yes, I'm quite sure; as I said, I'm able to print from other programs without any problem.

No, none of that helped.

I did some more diagnosing, however, and the problem seems slightly different than it initially seemed; "printing" to Microsoft XPS Document Writer results in a blank document, which, again, doesn't happen with Internet Explorer, so I enabled printing of blank pages in the printer properties and now trying to print from Firefox results in an empty page being "printed".
