Stamps.com unable to print PDF anymore

Posted on

Stamps.com has upgraded their website with a new plugin that only allows printing directly to your printer.

Why? Stamps.com says:

> USPS security regulations require Stamps.com to prevent anyone from printing postage to a PDF. For this reason, when you attempt to do so one of two things may happen:
> – You will receive a runtime error followed by the software closing without warning
> – You will receive error message 80004005

Stamps.com only supports select browsers like Firefox because of this security regulation. Many users were able to print with a system dialog before but now are altered that:

> To print or preview postage, you are required to install a small plugin. Click the install button and follow the instructions. After installation, you will be able to print postage.

> Note: During installation, if you are prompted for any settings or inputs, please leave the default values (including destination folder) unchanged, as this can prevent the plugin from working properly.

> If you do not see the installer window, it may be appearing behind your browser window. Please minimize your browser to see if the installer window is visible.
