The operation of any printer or scanner does not depend on your internet browser. (Safari, Firefox) You didn't mention which printer-scanner you have or what version of OS X you're using? You need to make sure that your printer-scanner has the proper drivers loaded for whichever version of OS X you're using.

Printer Scanner Proble

I have 10,9.2, Maverick, added Maverick a short time ago, maybe the driver.

I have an HP C-4280. All in one.

Thanks in advance for your help.

The HP web site has a listing for the driver: Mavericks 10.9 Drivers for the HP C-4280 are located here. Be sure to follow the HP instructions for installation.

Still not working, I tried everything, uninstalled, re-installed, uploaded correct drivers and updates now I have completely lost the scan pro part, I think I need a new wireless printer that is more up to date with Maverick on my IMAC and with my new iPhone 5c. Any suggestions on good printer that is good on ink???

I don't what your iPhone 5c has to do with printing or scanning but if you're looking for a new printer, here are some suggestions:

Epson
Brother
HP

Those three generally support OS X and have available drivers. I would have also recommended Canon, but their installation instructions and wireless setup leaves much to be desired. And the last one I had was a piece of junk.

Not sure what is happening here but you might not need a different printer just yet. Not sure what the fix is but some users are apparently able to get this working. See here
