    printing from Adobe reader

    Okay, I give up... I had to load Adobe reader to view some work and I needed
    to print it. When I click on "print" it tells me that before I can print or
    run page setup I need to add a printer. I have a printer, it prints just fine
    everywhere else but not with Adobe reader. It worked just fine with the XP
    that I had.I have check the fire walls and all the other places that I know
    to look. I've ask other people, they don't know either. If their is somebody
    that knows how to fix this I would be most thankful.

    Are you using the print icon from the toolbar, or using File, Print.....
    then ensuring you choose the right printer.

    Is the printer a network printer?

    I added a Brother network printer and found that some apps would not print.
    I stumbled upon the following solution.

    I added a PDF printer, in this case Bullzip.,
    Changed the default printer to Bullzip.
    Then changed the default printer to the Brother printer..
    Voila! All apps now print.

    The implication appears to be that Vista is not properly setting the
    properties for the default printer, in my case, when only the networked
    Brother printer and the microsoft XPS printer are defined.

    Adding the PDF printer to the mix seems to have fixed the prtoblem.
