I switched my work computer to FireFox. Everything is FireFoxFantastic! There is one problem. When I open up a PDF file from the web and try to print it, it won't. [Dont Know]

When I hit print, I choose the network printer and it says it processes the job just fine, but nothing ever prints. It will print on IE.

I noticed that the print job says it is only 0kb when it flashes that information real quick.

Any ideas anyone? I am on FF 1.0.1

Is the PDF opening in the FireFox window? Make sure you are clicking print on the new Acrobat toolbar that opens and not the Firefox print...

I had a similar problem (I don't do much printing of pdfs on the machine it happened on, so I don't know if it was a one-time-thing or a problem with firefox) - all I did was save it and then use acrobat reader to open it and print it out. I don't know why it made a difference, but it did. I think maybe their plugin is messed up.

I tried the print icon on the Acrobat Toolbar, but it still does not work. It still previews the page, but when it prints it is 0 KB.

I know I can print it by saving it onto my desktop or using IE, but I was kinda hoping I could just print it from the browser.
