Since upgrading to Lucid on two different PCs - one clean install and one upgrade I am experiencing a strange problem when printing from Firefox.

Every printout from Firefox has a very pale yellow background on the whole print area.

If I print to a pdf file rather than directly to the printer, then print the pdf file the problem does not occur.

If I print to a postscript file, then print that the problem is present.

No other applications I have tested have this problem (open office, gedit, google chrome)

The printer is an HP Business Jet 2200 and I have tried all four offered drivers.

Any help would be very welcome.

Try reloading print driver . Hp's can be painful at timnes ,it could be your internet connection. I had that when i first installed 9.10 . added some cups services. it went away. yesterday it wouldn't print on line . i rebooted , then it print must be internet connection at times. check all your boxes in your email and fire fox what is too be checked might not be . bondo101

This is a new bug (cream background colour (https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/578920)). See the bug report's post #7 for a workaround.
