I must be very thick, but I don't understand your response. Could you be a
bit more specific about how I should deal with this problem.

Thanks

Robear crossposted your post to the
microsoft.public.windows.vista-print_fax_scan newsgroup since you will
probably get a better answer there. He also asked if you are running
ZoneAlarm since that may be the cause of your issue. So you need to
answer his question.

We are having the same problem in our office (printing a web page to a PDF
file); does anyone have a remedy for this problem?

Please begin your own thread about your problem, RC. State your Windows
version and if you're running Zone Alarm.
