Networked printing no longer working in Firefox in Windows 10
Posted: Thu Nov 09, 2017 3:12 am
In Windows 10 recently sometime within the last month or two I guess my networked printer stopped printing properly in sandboxed Firefox. I was using Sandboxie 5.20 and upgraded to 5.22 today but it hasn't made a difference. Right now I'm running Windows 10 "Version 1703 (OS Build 15063.674)" and Sandboxie 5.22 64-bit and Firefox 56.0 32-bit. Chrome still works fine. Both Firefox and Chrome still work fine to print in Windows 8.1.
Nothing in my configuration has changed. I have a global OpenFilePath=C:\Windows\Temp and the Firefox section looks like this:
On some pages I see "An error occurred while printing". On other pages it appears to work to print but nothing is actually printed and the file size has some weird amount like 223 bytes or 334 bytes or something. It will say "Printing" in the queue but then it errors, I think because the data is corrupt. For example take this file which prints fine in Windows 8.1 Chrome and Firefox, and Windows 10 Chrome but not Firefox:
Is anyone running sandboxed Firefox in Windows 10 able to print that PDF form to a networked printer?
