Suddenly pdfs won't print; Firefox wants to Save instead, even though "Save File" under Print > Properties is unchecked. I've filled in a pdf form and now want to print it if possible. (Win 7, latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader DC)

It prints from Word OK.

This happened about six months ago, I googled it, and got the clickpath to fix it right away, a real quick easy unchecking of some box or other. Today it's different. Please help, thanks
