Using Google Docs/Spreadsheet. If I open a Google Doc and select print (either via the menu, ctrl+p, or toolbar icon) from within Chrome or Opera it then opens a print preview screen where I can choose the Destination and set it as one of the printers accessible from my Windows machine.
However if I follow the same steps from within Firefox, it instead opens the standard download save dialog box and there is no option to print. This means I have to either save the document as a PDF first or open it directly as a PDF in my system's PDF viewer and then print from within that.
How can I print directly from Firefox?

I had the same problem and I think its simply not possible to directly print from Firefox and Safari. On this page in the Google Help there is a separate section about printing with these two browsers. There it says to either print as PDF or another file format, no word about actually printing the document..
