ff ver 28 wont recognize new printer
I was using a brother lazer printer HL1435 on my desktop using Windows XP pro. I installed a Kodak ESP3250 printer and all other programs accept the new default printer. When I went to about:config and searched for print I found only references to the Brother HL1435. I reset the print.printer reference and restarted Firefox. When I go to file print nothing happens. i went back to the config file and reset all items starting with print and restarted firefox. Firefox still will not print and the config file has no printer listed.

I installed my printer into my laptop and firefox recognized it with no problem. Both my laptop and desktop are running Windows XP. I completly uninstalled firefox from my desktop and verified the profile files were gone then reinstalled and still the printer will not work. Ive had it with FF so I am uninstalling and going to chrome. Thanks for the suggestions.

Hello bitbyter, please Reset all Firefox printer settings and check it again.
thank you
As I mentioned in the details I have already reset the firefox printer settings. The prefs.js file does not have any settings for a printer at all.
Create a new Firefox profile and see if the issue exist.
thank you
I created a new profile firefox still does not recognize my printer.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Director: Show Folder (Linux: Open Director; Mac: Show in Finder)

Yesterday b4 installing chrome I tried one last thing. I deleted the entire Mossilla folder from my application data and Program files folder. Then I went to my backup files and copied these folders back. When i ran the program the printer now works. I was on version 26. When I let the program update to v28 it would not print so I went back to v26.
