Firefox printing issue

Post by Lenp »

Any ideas on this one? I've searched all over but no fix yet.
I use a thermal label printer for shipping. If if I use that printer in Firefox, the label paper profile is 'stuck' and any other printer selected in Firefox thinks that the label stock is the paper profile. I can reset the printers in Firefox config and all is well until I use that thermal printer again.
I can set up a separate Firefox profile for just that printer but that's not a good work-around!
I'm stuck..just Iike that label profile!

Thanks
Len

I found that opening the task manager, [ Ctrl-Alt-Delete ]and stopping the print spooler, then restarting it, often fixes may odd printer issues.
Hope it helps!
