Just bought a DELL desktop which is running windows XP Proffesional. I've also just bought a new printer (Brother Laser 1710).

I'm trying to print some work from a PDF using Adobe 7, and a get a box coming up that says it cant be printed. Any ideas guys. (if I copy it to flash drive and print it off my old pc, its fine)


Just tried it by clicking on 'file' then 'print' and its ok. When I press the print ikon, it doesnt work. Weird.

It isn't/shouldn't be. It a pension quote relating to my work, which is officially sent to me for printing off.

Could be a printer driver problem.

Should be an option to "print as image' try that?

It may worth giving foxit a go, just runs from exe, no need to install
