Adobe Reader Not Printing to a Certain Printer

I have a teacher that has a locally connected (USB) HP LaserJet 1012 printer and a networked HP LaserJet 4050 in her classroom. She has the 1012 set up as her default printer and when she needs to print large jobs she switches to the 4050. The problem is when she tries to print PDFs to the 4050, the print job still goes to the 1012. The 4050 is using the Universal Printing PCL5 V5.1 driver, although it doesn't seem to matter which version of the universal driver I choose.
When I switch from the 1012 to the 4050 in the Name dropdown in the Print window (within the Adobe Reader program), it still says hp Laser Jet 1012 in the Type field.When I click OK to print with the 4050 selected, it still prints to the 1012. It's as if Reader (Version 10.1.1) doesn't recognize the 4050. When I make the 4050 the default printer, the Status and Type fields are blank. When I click the dropdown and select the 1012 those fields populate with "Ready" and "hp Laser Jet 1012", repectively.
I'm not sure how to resolve this problem. What I am fearing is that it has to do with the age of the 4050 printer.

Dear user,
Thanks for reporting the problem.
It looks like some kind of set up issue at your end and I would request you to please uninstall and then re-install both the drivers. Things are working just fine at our end.
Thanks,

Adobe Reader not translating print option to driver

I'm a Connectivity Engineer for a Canon Service Provider and I've got a client who has recently update to Adobe Reader 10.4.1 on their Windows 7 64bit workstation and is having some difficulties with printing PDF documents to their Canon iPF8300s. In the Adobe print window, when you select Portrait or landscape, these settings do not translate to the Canon driver. This was not a problem with their previous version.
The document we tested was an Arch D 24"x36" print and no matter what option they choose it always prints portrait which wastes a ton of paper. The paper roll width is 36".
As a workaround we physically go into the Canon driver and select the option to "Rotate 90 degrees" and this seems to work. But they really do not want to have to enter the print driver to do this. They expect the Adobe Reader settings to translate over.
the print driver for the iPF8300s is the latest version, v.4.50.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

What happens now when you click the link or button to print checks? Does Firefox's PDF viewer come up or nothing happens at all?
If you need to completely disable the viewer, there is a hidden preference you can change.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''pdfjs''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click '''pdfjs.disabled''' to toggle its value to true.
If you test in your original tab, does that make any difference?

Google Calendar will not print in Firefox 19.0 and adobe reader x when one presses the print button in the popup window.

I have the monthly calendar on screen, click the more button, click print. Another window pops up and when I click the print button nothing happens. I am using Firefox 19.0 and Adobe Reader 10.1.6. The print function works in IE and Chrome.

this solution did NOT work for me. I still cannot print a Google calendar page in Firefox. I can in IE. And I can print Gmail.

Adobe Reader v 11.0.10 cannot print PDF files

Hello,
My Adobe Reader v11.0.10 running on Windows 8 Pro with Media Center cannot print anymore.
I used to be able to print from Adobe Reader before.
I still can print to all printers using other applications – Word, Excel, Notepad.
I can print a test page on any of my printers without any problems.
I can print PDF files using other PDF viewers (like Foxit reader), but I can’t print from Adobe Reader.
There is no error message on the screen and there is no any error message in the log files.
If I uninstall Adobe Reader and re-install it, then the first time I log on I’ll be able to print once.
But any consecutive attempt to print will fail!
Any ideas what could be the problem?
Thank you!

Hello,
I go to File --> Print menu.
As I always do.
It used to work before.
I haven't tried "Print as image" option, but I'll try it and post the result!
I will try also unchecking 'Enable Protected Mode at Startup' option under Edit> Preferences> Security (Enhanced)
As I mentioned in my previous post I tried re-installing Adobe Reader - but no luck :
"If I uninstall Adobe Reader and re-install it, then the first time I log on I’ll be able to print once."
I think that the issue is not the particular file - it has something to do with Adobe Reader itself. Maybe it is corrupted????
I'll try again tomorrow and I'll post the result!
Thank you for your reply!

When Firefox last automatically updated, it suggested that Adobe reader needed updating, now, with Adobe Reader 8, I can no longer print from the internet, only to file. Help please.

When Mozilla Firefox last automatically updated, it suggested that Adobe Reader needed updating. After updating to Adobe Reader 8, I can no longer print from the internet, only to a file. I know the printer and its interface must be OK because Word prints normally.

Problem solved, it was my oversight, I had not removed the check from the Print to File box in the print set up.

Adobe Reader no longer Auto-Closes after printing

My company uses software that allows for users to reprint invoices they have previously made. The way the procedure is supposed to work is: the driver clicks a re-print button, Adobe Reader opens up with the document, prints it, then closes. Within the past couple of weeks however, everything is fine however Adobe Reader will not close out. The PDF document itself closes, but the user is then brought to the main menu where they can open up another PDF. The problem this is causing is that they cannot reprint other invoices until manually closing out of Adobe reader every time. There have not been any updates made to the software they are using, or to Adobe Reader. We have users on both Windows XP and 7, and have the issue with both Reader v10 and 11.
Any suggestions on how I might be able to get Adobe Reader to auto-close again? I am also checking with the software vendor for their insight.

Might be difficult to fix.
You don't know what changes to your system/registry have been made by the virus infection you told of.
Maybe this article has some useful hints for you.

Adobe Reader 11.0.09 on MAC prints PDFs 1/6 of page 6 times on page, instead of the whole page. Help please!!

I am using Mac OS X 10.9.5 and Adobe Reader 11.0.09 and it prints PDFs 1/6 of page 6 times on page, instead of the whole page. I have tried Print as Image, no joy. Multiple pages is NOT selected. I cannot get anyone from Adobe to help me with this problem and it is becoming a major impediment to my work!

Hi Suzbat,
If you try to print any other document from any other application. Did you check, are you facing the same issue or not?
Have you tried to install latest drivers of the printer.

How to open in regular adobe reader, NOT touch?

How do I open a pdf in adobe reader, NOT adobe reader touch, as I am on a laptop? I dowloaded adobe reader, and uninstalled (I thought) adobe reacher touch - yet when I open a file from email - it defaults to touch which I cannot operate on a laptop.

You can go to Control Panel > Programs > Default Programs > Set Default Programs, then set Adobe Reader XI as the default program.

Flex Mobile - PDF not displaying error - "Adobe Reader not found"

Hi everyone,
Is viewing PDF documents supported in Flex Mobile projects? At the moment, I get an error saying:
"Adobe Reader not found"
I am converting my Adobe Air Desktop project to a Mobile project with Flashbuilder 4.5.1. Any documentation reference on how to get PDF's to view on Flex Mobile applications would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks!

Thankyou. The Central Question over this Lumia 625 inability to open a specific pdf (by Lonely Planet) remains:-I could uninstall this Adobe Reader app but think this is not the problem as this app does indeed open all other pdf's on my phone successfully, e.g. the Lonely Planet Invoice!
On the other hand, this particular downloaded & installed pdf can be read on my home PC, my Macbook & my IpodTouch so I can't attribute fault to the filename.
The basic Troubleshoot step of a "soft reset" is NOT described in the Lumia 625 User Guide & I'm pessimistic this arbitrary step will bear fruit. I have come to the conclusion that no matter what I do, this Lumia model using the MIcrosoft OS has a system flaw that is unable to read the file (a file that other devices & another OS can read) & I will not waste time with ad hoc actions such as resets as this is not a hobby for me.
The pdf in question (88Mb, Lumia free space is >3Gb) is a travel guide I'd like to use on my next trip & this Lumia 625 is proving not worthy of coming with me. I am disappointed at the lack of "Customer Support" shown by the Nokia Company & I hope this is relayed as some "friendly feedback". Thank you for your own assistance, though.
I invite correction if this assessment is mistaken.

Error msg. page "Adobe Reader not allowed"

When I attempt to use any thing in Adobe on line I get a message that says "Adobe Reader not allowed". What's that mean?

Sounds like you have software running on your system that prevents you from running Reader. Are yo using your own computer or a computer owned by an company? What OS are you running? What version of Reader?
