Why do I have trouble printing when using Firefox, I have to change over to IE and the printing is OK

When I try to print a page while using Firefox the printer does not work. A message stays on the screen 'preparing' and the searching circle keeps turning. I switch over to Internet Explorer and the page prints straight away. I recently tried to print a form I received from a company and a message showed that Firefox were having trouble, use IE
