Hi Rose,

Print makes use of an Active X control, which is not supported in Firefox. To get Print in Firefox, export to PDF then print or implement your own Print functionality

Hi all,
Got the solution, use the Following scripts, here replace the variable "ControlName" with the name of ReportViewer used.
<script type="text/javascript" src="lib/jquery.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
        $(document).ready(function() {
            if ($.browser.mozilla ) {
                try {
                    var ControlName = 'ReportViewer1';
                    var innerScript = '<scr' + 'ipt type="text/javascript">document.getElementById("' + ControlName + 
                                 '_print").Controller = new ReportViewerHoverButton("' + ControlName + '_print", 
                           false, "", "", "", "#ECE9D8", "#DDEEF7", "#99BBE2", "1px #ECE9D8 Solid", "1px #336699 Solid", 
                          "1px #336699 Solid");</scr' + 'ipt>';
                    var innerTbody = '<tbody><tr><td><input type="image" style="border-width: 0px; padding: 2px; height:
                                16px; width: 16px;" alt="Print" src="/Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd?OpType=
                                 Resource&amp;Version=9.0.30729.1&amp;Name=Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.Icons.Print.gif"
                                 title="Print"></td></tr></tbody>';
                    var innerTable = '<table title="Print" onmouseout="this.Controller.OnNormal();" 
                    onmouseover="this.Controller.OnHover();" onclick="PrintFunc(\'' + ControlName + '\'); return false;"
                     id="' + ControlName + '_print" style="border: 1px solid rgb(236, 233, 216); background-color: 
                        rgb(236, 233, 216); cursor: default;">' + innerScript + innerTbody + '</table>'
                    var outerScript = '<scr' + 'ipt type="text/javascript">document.getElementById("' + ControlName + 
                                        '_print").Controller.OnNormal();</scr' + 'ipt>';
                    var outerDiv = '<div style="display: inline; font-size: 8pt; height: 30px;" class=" ">
                           <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="display: inline;"><tbody><tr><td height="28px">'
                               + innerTable + outerScript + '</td></tr></tbody></table></div>';

                    $("#" + ControlName + " > div > div").append(outerDiv);

                }
                catch (e) { alert(e); }
            }
        }); 

        function PrintFunc(ControlName) {
            setTimeout('ReportFrame' + ControlName + '.print();', 100);
        }
    </script>
Thanks to all ....

Has this solution worked for another person? I can't get it working on my project. I am using VS2010.
