Printer Problems

Graham Bassett · 02-07-2008, 12:25 AM

Hi, I have just got a new computer that runs vista, I use my old canon LBP3000 printer [which worked fine with XP] and I had to download new drivers to match the canon with vista. My problem is that it prints fine in Internet Explorer but in Firefox it prints to small. The defalt is on Shrink to fit & when I change it to 100% it will print anything upto 10 pages and so I am stuck on to small or go into Explorer to print what I want. As I have been using Firefox for years I would like to stay with it as my brower.
Anyone have any Idears?, Graham.

Type in "about:config" into your Firefox browser address bar then in the filter bar type "print". It will list all of your printer settings. Check to see if anything looks out of place (any crazy values in the "value section") Well thats all I've got for now...
