Printing problems with Firefox ?? |

Greetings all - I have a problem printing topics from Firefox - if I print the topic, special characters and any spaces etc in a "CODE" block show up as garbage on my laser printer (HP LJ6) and the text is often crunched together. The same page printed from IE6 on the same printer prints fine. I have not run into this in any other forums and a search of this one didn't turn up any others with the problem. Anybody else seen this ? Firefox 3.6.12 -- very puzzling !! (compiler version 4.114 - latest - just for the sake of completeness here :-) )
A bit more research and it looks like it is a Firefox bug that is possibly related to the phase of the moon, your mothers name and other unknowns. See the bug listed at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=454532
I guess I am just one of the lucky ones ...

I use Firefox and haven't seen any issues with it and this forum. However I never use HP printers ( too many proprietary gotchas). |

I use Firefox 4 beta 7 at the moment and print CCS Forum topics to an HP LJ5SI Mopier workgroup printer with no problems. Previously I used Firefox 3.6 with no problems. _________________ Google and Forum Search are some of your best tools!!!! |

OK, thanks folks. I realize this is not about the compiler itself, but it is almost impossible to read any of the code blocks people post here when I print and I just wondered if it was just me or of others had the issue (this is the only forum I have seen this issue). Looks like it is just me -- back to trying to figure out how to configure my PIC18F14K22 voltage reference from the compiler reference again :-)
