Mozilla Firefox and printing PDF files

Hello Pam,

You may want to google, "Mozilla pdf files" See what or if anything is helpful to your situation let us know.

When I attempt to print a pdf file using the Mozilla File:Print there is a selection in the lower left of the print screen that allows you to "Print to file." Why printing to file doesn't occur for you with other types of files is peculiar. Your brand of printer may have other choices, that mine do not. Suggest you divulge more secret info, like operating system, printer name, etc.

Thanks everyone. I didn't imagine folks would try to locate this file and check on their computers. that's very nice of everyone. I think people are finding the short guide (which is just a few pages). The manual is different (it's over 40 pages) - I will link it here: http://www.dvdflick.net/guide/guide_new.pdf This is what I can't get to print. Most other documents do print. I have had occasional trouble printing - but usually it's a pdf file that only Acrobat will read (or at least some pdf readers won't read them). had this experience with some Medicare/government documents. Saving to my hard drive doesn't help. Bob - I think you had the right document. I looked at properties as well - and sure enough, it says printing not allowed. This is really bizarre to me that printing is not allowed. That makes it very difficult to refer to the manual while you are actually working with the software. I see that the author wants me to ask permission to print - it's password protected. He's asked to be contacted via the forum - so I've just done that. Bob - thanks for the linux/ubuntu link. I have no idea what any of that means. I can download and burn to disc - but don't know what it would look like to boot into linux - never done it - don't know if I could figure it out. I think this is useful sometimes - but this isn't so urgent. So I will leave learning linux for another time when I'm not drowning in more pressing tech clean-ups. Thank you. Lynn.

I have had the printer hooked up to the same computer for a couple years now. I uploaded new drivers for the printer wiht no help printing from a site. I have a Hp Photo Smart C4740. I haven't made any changes to anyhting . Yes, it is the default printer. I only go to HP and Microsoft and check for updates. I can't get it to print anything from any site I am on that I want to print an article from. I get Massage from Web Page- there was an internal error and IE is unabl;e to print this document. I tried again after I updated the drivers in my printer and got this again.

Well if you had success with Malwarebytes perhaps it is not necessary to run Superantispyware. If you would care to try then as you start the computer keep tapping the F8 button and a screen will appear with start up options. Select safe mode, everything will look totally different to the normal startup because only essential drivers have been allowed to start. My concern was the fact you mentioned AVG was not running properly. That is a good indicator of trouble. On reading the initial post a second time it appears you overcame that issue

Might want to check out the link below. My pdf files open with Adobe Reader then I can do whatever I choose with them.

Here is a link that might be useful: Firefox and pdf files

zep, fruitjar and arkie,
Thank you very much for your help. I used the information about the "print to file" box, fruitjarfla, and one of the articles that you you sent a link for, arkie62, and I'm not sure which one did it, but it worked! Sorry for not sending the secret info...I'll remember that next time. There are such nice people on this forum. Thanks again.

When you want to print a pdf, use the little printer icon in the Adobe Reader window. It seems to work better for me than File->Print from the browser.
