Adobe reader sees an uninstalled printer, how to change?

Adobe reader 10.0 sees the wrong printer driver on my pc, it recognizes my brother MFC-7362n as an brother MFC-7340. When I try to print it doesnt show up in my queue so nothing happens after printing.
I reinstalled my printer and adobe reader both a couple of times already. I used the Brother cleaning tool to make sure everything was removed from older printers. But still the list of printers doesnt show the right printer. So, it shows the MFC-7340 and it should show the MFC-7362n, my os is windows Vista 32bit. What can I do about it?
Thanks,

Hi dieke%20billie,
I would suggest you to please uninstall Adobe Reader from your machine and then again install the latest patch of Reader XI i.e. 11.0.10
Refer the below mentioned link for downloading Reader along with choosing Windows Vista as your OS:
https://get.adobe.com/reader/
Hope it helps.
Regards,
Anubha

  • Adobe reader won't 'uninstall'

    I can't print pdfs or download pdfs on the web since downloading adobe reader 9.  The previous version (reader 8) failed to uninstall and I am unable to use 'remove programme' to remove either version of reader.   The error message reads,  patch cannot be found.
    Can anyone offer a solution?  I believe I need to uninstall all the adobe files and reinstall afresh but can't do it with add/remove programmes.

    Thank you Claudio,
    Your suggestion worked perfectly. I am very grateful.

    You may want to try running this fix from Microsoft and uninstall all traces of any versions of Reader: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall If you want to reinstall Reader, download its full installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.Replies to this message go to everyone subscribed to this thread, not directly to the person who posted the message.

  • Adobe Reader 9.3.1 prints incorrectly in Windows 7 x64 - HELP

    Adobe Reader 9.3.1 PDF document pages at half size and rotated 90 degrees.  If I set "Print as Image" under the Advanced print options, it does print correctly, although the resolution isn't very good.  This happens on several documents (stand alone files and from Internet Explorer both).  I am running Windows 7 64 bit.
    On my Vista 32 bit system, Adobe Reader 9.3.1 prints the same documents correctly on the same printer.
    Has anyone heard of this problem?  Is there a solution?

    I have some of the same problem
    with my Windows 7 64 bit computer. I
    get an error when sending a document to
    the PDF veiwer and am told to shut down
    Adobe Reader.  Is there a download to
    correct this problem?  Adobe Reader 9.3.1
    works fine with Windows XP on my 32 bit
    computer.

  • Partial printing only from Adobe Reader via Server 2008 print spooler

    Hi there,
    We've recently set up a new print server for our school. It's running Windows Server 2008 (not R2) 32 bit. We have 8 printers, which are all HP LaserJet P2035n.
    All printing works fine, except for PDF files from Adobe Reader. PDF files from Adobe Reader go through the print server with no visible errors, however they print strangely.
    Often there will be a blank page at the start. Generally they will not print all pages (e.g. 4/10 or so) and they will cause the printer to error.
    We do not get this problem using other PDF readers or with the Google Chrome PDF plugin.
    Could you please provide some troubleshooting steps? Based on elimination, it seems to be something to do with the way Adobe Reader communicates with either the print server or the printer, causing some type of malformed request.
    Thanks,
    Andrew

  • In adobe reader, I can't print from different trays?

    Using Adobe Reader, I can't print from different trays on my Lexmark x954 printer.  I've tried reinstalling the print driver (latest version) and reinstalling Adobe Reader with no luck.  I can see the trays and even select them in the print dialog box in adobe but when I print I am unable to print from the correct trays.  It always prints from tray 3 of my printer no matter what tray and type of paper I choose in adobe.  Any suggestions?
    I've also noticed a problem printing through Preview.  I can select different trays using preview but the print time is extremely slow.  It seems like it has to re-download the pdf page each time it goes to print.  So a 100 page print job takes 20-30 minutes to complete which means other have to wait for my job to complete so it really slows our office down.
    Thanks for your help.  Also, I am using the mountain lion operating system.  Thanks again! 

    Don't know whether it will make any difference, but a new version of Adobe Reader has just been released:
    http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/73/adobe-reader  (version 11.0.03).

  • Running Safari 6.0.3  When trying to print files using Adobe Reader 11.0.02, print preview screen is all black.  If files are attached to an email, receiver can't open it.  It does work OK in Firefox 19.0.2  Any ideas?

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Adobe Reader X stuck on "print to file"

    I have a problem with Adobe Reader 10.1.0 not saving my print settings after I close it.  I am running Windows Vista and trying to print to a RICOH printer/scanner/copier machine.  I checked "Print to file" by accident once and tried to print, and now every time I open Adobe Reader and try to print something, I have to uncheck "Print to file."  It is also stuck on "Print as image."  I have tried restoring the default settings on the printer, changing the default printer, and repairing the installation.  Checking and unchecking "Restore last view settings when reopening documents" doesn't make a difference.
    Has anyone else had this problem?  Is there a way to change the default so that "print to file" and "print as image" remain unchecked?  Thanks!

    I just fixed this issue. Running Adobe Reader X on Win7 x64 Enterprise.
    Locate HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\PrefsDialog and modify the key "aLastPrefsPanel" to say "Display". I found on the troubled PC it was set to "Startup"
    In your cases running 10.1 the registry path may be "10.1" rather than "10.0"
    That should do the trick.

    Similar situation here.  Have multiple users getting hung up after the progress bar for printing appears.

  • Adobe Reader hangs on first print of the day

    When I try to print from Adobe Reader for the FIRST time every day, the PC hangs for 30 seconds. It'll then unfreeze and continue to print.
    All subsequent docuemtns that day print with no problems immediately.
    I have a small domain based network (SBS2003) and my workstation is Win7Pro.
    This problem started some time ago and a recent update to 10.1.7 hasn't resolved it.
    Any ideas?

    The drivers are up to date.
    I've just realised (doh!) that the printer isn't actually on the network, but has a direct USB connection to the w/station.
    The problem is only with Adobe reader, just the first print of the day from Adobe. If the first print of the day is from Word that prints OK, but if the second is from Adobe it still hangs (becasue it's the first rpint from Reader). At first I thought Reader was trawling across the internet for some reason, maybe checking in with Adobe.
    I'm baffled. I've tried uinstalling and reinstalling Reader as well!
