Ok, i have two pc's networked one wired and the other wireless.

The wireless pc has a printer attached.And is running winxp32

The wired Pc has no printer and is running Vista home premium 64.

I have file and printer sharing enabled and all working.
I can print documents from the wired/vista pc just fine. Except when i try printing the contents in my firefox browser?
It shows up as in the Que on the pc with the printer but never prints? And worse nothing i do will cancel the print from the Que which then blocks anything else from being printed.

Any help??

What make/model printer?
Has it ever worked?
What driver are you using?
Does the driver have a Print as Image option?

HP D4160 inkjet printer. First time I have tried it and it did not work. Using vista 64 bit drivers on the vista machine and xp32 bit drivers for the xp machine it is attached to.
had to completely uninstall it to get the print out of the Q,
I dotn see any print as Image option in or around the firefox browser.


Thanks

If it gets hosed restart the Print spooler service on the machine it is attached to.

Try to print using IE and see if the same issue happens.
