Firefox just will not print anything at all. I have tried all the suggested fixes; everything else on my computer prints fine to either directly connected printers or to network printers. The 3 other computers on my home network all print to all printers from Firefox. I have deleted Firefox and reinstalled I have deleted all printers and reinstalled When I do try to print with the print queue open, the file spooling briefly splashes up and disappears quickly. If I download a PDF from the web, it will not print from within Firefox, but will print from Acrobat or Nitro I have changed antivirus from Eset to Webroot anywhere. No improvement and in between with no Antivirus, Firefox would not print. Any thoughts, as I had to change browsers and I want to get back to Firefox? Help!!

Have you tried using "Print using the system dialog" at the bottom of the print preview settings?

Does it still happen with the ESR version (115)?

Is there any visible error message?

Do virtual printers like "Microsoft Print to PDF" work?

No error messages at all. If I have the print queue open it flashes a "spooloing" message and then disappears faster than you can read it. The only word I can make out is "spooling" from the sentence.

Microsoft Print to PDF creates a file but trying to open it generates :

" Adobe Acrobat Reader could not open 'test1.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged ...."

Save to PDF (in the print dialogue box) offers the opportunity to name the file and seems to have worked but no file is generated. Cheers

Or Spooling!
