When I print a file off pdf viewer in firefox, my printout comes out 4 pages per page, even though I check advanced settings and verify that it is set to 1 page per page. I do not know where else I can look to correct this problem.

HI nmrdata, It may be that Firefox printer settings need to be reset. Please see Fix printing problems in Firefox.

If you have any questions on how to open the about:config page please do the following steps :

  1. In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.
  2. Click I'll be careful, I promise! to continue to the about:config page.
  3. Look for print.printer_print and reset the option.

Hi,

The about:config directions did not fix the problem. However, following the "Reset all Firefox Printer Settings" directions found by using the link you provided did.

Thank you.
