Firefox does not recognise my current printer and is looking for an old one to connect to
Since last up date, Firefox does not recognize the printer I have set up as a default printer. It says it can't communicate with a printer I have not used in many months, that is not set up as the default printer. Only way I can print then is to copy things to Word and print from there which works fine.
My wife uses Google and can print from there without a problem.
Suggestions?

If you have changed printers, you need to reset some hidden preferences in Firefox:
- type about:config in the Location/URL bar and press the Enter key
- on the warning, promise to be careful
- Filter = print.print_printer
- in the lower panel, right-click on that preference and choose "Reset"
- Filter = print.printer_
- in the lower panel, right-click on each of those preference and choose "Reset"
- Exit from Firefox, wait a few seconds (10-20), restart Firefox and test.
