319902 - Only printing last page on HP 2710 with Mac via WiFi

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 178554

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Michael Delugg]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5

Never had this problem until FireFox 1.5.  I also run Windows and have no problems with that machine.

Simply: Since installing FF 1.5, when I issue a print command from the Mac, the dialog box shows that it is printing all pages, but only the LAST page comes out. The printer connection closes cleanly, no errors. I can get around this by telling FF to print page 1-1, then page 2-2, etc as separate jobs.

This is a 12" Powerbook, HP 2710 printer on my WEP wifi network.

Nothing else has changed recently.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.See above
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
PRINT OUTPUT OF LAST PAGE ONLY

Expected Results:  
FULL DOCUMENT PRINT OUT (ALL PAGES)

FIREFOX CAN BE FORCED TO PRINT PAGE 1, THEN PAGE 2, THEN PAGE 3, ETC.

I can confirm this with another wifi hp printer (HP Deskjet 6840).  I believe it also happened before Firefox 1.5.  It doesn't always happen but happens way too often.  Sometimes printing just hangs and the printer has to be turned off and then on again.

One place I noticed it just printing the last page was trying to print driving directions from google maps.  The problems do not happen with Safari.

Does anyone have connections with anyone at HP to help solve this?

My Specifics:
Printing from 17" Powerbook, Mac OS X 10.4 over wifi to a Westell Router (WEP and MAC filtering) that is connected by a cord to the HP Deskjet 6840.


(I don't have privileges to select the confirm radio button)

Maybe a dupe of bug 314249 - Can't print more than 1 page to networked HP LaserJet from Firefox 1.5b2

which is a dupe of bug 178554 - Only 1 page prints from a frameset print request

Sounds good... or bad. Whichever. ;)

Duping...
