I tried to print out a couple HS PDFs and all my printer will do is shoot the paper through the feed just as clean and white as when it first went in. I thought it could have been a problem with the particular file, but soon discovered that suddenly my computer won't print anything that's in PDF format!!
WTF??? That's never been a problem before. I tried all the typical troubleshooting, trying to print as an image, print to file, worked in the advance printer settings, restored all defaults, NOTHING!! Any ideas why my POS computer would suddenly up and say, "F it, I'm just not doing PDF anymore?"
Thanks in advance for any ideas!

a trick you could do is

open the pdf with an internet explorer

make it full screen (works best with latest explorer version (7 i think))

do ctrl + print screen (its on top right of the keyoard above the arrows and insert delete etc.)

open paint.

ctrl + v or edit + paste

then save and print.

Thanks D, that's how I've had to do it for a couple maps.
Just wish I could figure out why it suddenly stopped printing them...been making and printing PDFs for years... :shrug:
