Can't print from Pale Moon unless running as administrator

Unread post by graveller39 » 2018-02-14, 18:30

Until yesterday, I could print from Pale Moon; now I can only print if I'm running the program as administrator. Coincidentally, I've got the same problem with Firefox, while Google Chrome prints fine. Anyone know what could cause this?

I'm using Pale Moon (32bit) 27.7.2 & Firefox (64bit) 52.6.0 with Windows 10 Home (x64 Build 16299.125) and printing to a wireless HP ENVY 5530 printer.

Have you either added or made changes to an AV Security program just prior to when this started?

Have you tried a reboot?
