Setup?

Just what pgm. is viewing the .PDF file in order to tell it to print? You need to review what is actually selects some printer and defaults to it in order to print. Have you kept up with any .PDF related updates, etc., the viewer maybe. If any error, what does it state?

So a XP OS on some PC?
by r. proffitt Forum moderator Apr 5, 2012 4:11AM PDT

XP on its own does not and never could print a PDF. That's proper and well known.

To print PDF files I have to install Adobe Reader and if that can't show and print it, I use FOXIT READER from this link.
