Cannot print pages from Firefox?

Not sure if anyone can help ith this but when I try and print from Firefox it used to come out REALLY big, now it now longer prints at all.

It prints fine on every other programme and I am geting around it by just copying the webpage I need to use, into Explorer and printing that, I have downloaded Firefox 4 but it still will not print.

Any ideas? Have I disabled something?

    Try Alt+F to bring up the File menu, then select Print Preview and see how the web page is displayed - print preview allows you to adjust how you want the page printed via a 'page setup' button.

    I've done the print preview and it shows it as normal (before this it would just show it as HUGE but I downloaded FF4 this morning and it seems to have gone back to normal)

    I have sent it to print and it is now just hanging in the printer folder. There is no status in that column. And if I hover over the printer icon on the taskbar it says 'pending'.

    I have just tried printing something else and it says 'printing 100%' but when I open the printer status box it says 'paused' and restart does not restart it.

    It is only FF this does it on, every other single program - Word, Excel, Explorer - prints fine. I thought downloading the new version would sort it out but it still does not make any difference.
