Re: printing web pages to pdf in Vista
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.

Re: printing web pages to pdf in Vista
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?

Re: printing web pages to pdf in Vista
Please begin your own thread about your problem, RC. State your Windows
version and if you're running Zone Alarm.
