google calendar printing stopped working
Printing from Google Calendar (Google Calendar --> settings --> print ) uses the Firefox PDF preview. It no longer does anything (no response to print command) Used to work. Running Firefox with all add-ins disabled also doesn't work.
The workaround is to go into Firefox options and set the application used for PDFs from "Preview in Firefox" to "use Adobe Acrobat reader". Now the print calendar opens Adobe reader in a separate window with the correct page. Which of course can be printed.
Seems like something changed, but I don't now on which end.
thnx,

Hi, are you running Google in Firefox Multi-Account Containers ? ? Excepting the required cookies such as 3rd party ?
As you are running uBlock Origin ...
Please try this and report back :
- https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-printing-problems-firefox
- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problems_printing_web_pages
and : Try Firefox Safe Mode to TEST & see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
- Click the menu button
, click Help 
and select Restart with Add-ons Disabled.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
- On Windows: Hold the Shift key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
- On Mac: Hold the option key while starting Firefox.
- On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox -safe-mode
(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article to find the cause.
To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
Thanks for the suggestion, but this doesn't exactly address my issue. Perhaps I wasn't clear enough in my original post.
I don't print from FF. Instead, Google Cal opens a pdf, which FF displays in its PDFpreview. From the preview I open Adobe Acrobat and print from there.
So the problem is that FF preview doesn't work on Google Calendar. It does work on other sites that display PDFs. It used to work on Google Cal, leading me to suspect that it might be Google, not FF.
So my inconvenient work-around is to set FF to use Adobe Acrobat reader, instead of Firefox pdf preview. This works - it opens a separate window - but it's inconvenient.
Also - operating in safe mode fixes nothing. Using Chrome works fine.

Hi, more than clear but still need you to try Safe Mode. Thanks.

One of the first things I tried. Made no difference.
thnx,
Hi, Safe Mode tells if a extension/add-on is the issue. In Firefox Safe mode these changes are effective:
- all extensions are disabled (about:addons)
- default theme is used (no persona)
- userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored (chrome folder)
- default toolbar layout is used (file: localstore-safe.rdf)
- Javascript JIT compilers are disabled (prefs: javascript.options.*jit)
- hardware acceleration is disabled (Options > Advanced > General)
- plugins are not affected
- preferences are not affected
I really am not sure about these : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?platform=windows&tag=google%20calendar
Can not seem to bring up any relevant and date information other than Google telling everyone to use another browser.
