I am using qzprint API for printing labels in my open cart extension. Everything was working fine but suddenly it stopped working on FF. In Internet explorer it works fine. If i add alerts in my functions of applet it works fine on firefox as well but not sure why not with out alerts. here is my code.
calling applet functions in my header.tpl
<script type="text/javascript">
deployQZ('<?php echo HTTP_CATALOG ?>');
useDefaultPrinter();
<script>
Applet file containing functions
function deployQZ(path) {
//alert("alert for printing label");
pathApplet = path + 'java/qz-print.jar';
pathJnlp = path + 'java/qz-print_jnlp.jnlp';
var attributes = {id: "qz", code:'qz.PrintApplet.class',
archive: pathApplet, width:1, height:1};
var parameters = {jnlp_href: pathJnlp,
cache_option:'plugin', disable_logging:'false',
initial_focus:'false'};
if (deployJava.versionCheck("1.7+") == true) {}
else if (deployJava.versionCheck("1.6+") == true) {
attributes['archive'] = 'java/jre6/qz-print.jar';
parameters['jnlp_href'] = 'java/jre6/qz-print_jnlp.jnlp';
}
deployJava.runApplet(attributes, parameters, '1.5');
}
/**

function qzReady() {

};
}
}
As u can see in my deployqz() and usedefaultprinter() functions i have alert on first line which is in comments if its commented it doesn't work in fire fox and if not commented than it works fine. With comments i get alert message from isLoaded() function "Print plugin is NOT loaded properly!".
Also in my console i get this
