I cannot print a PDF in a web page to my network printer

If I try to print a PDF page from the browser it doesn't work. Nothing happens at all. Print preview shows a blank page. I have to save the page (s) as a PDF file and print it from Acrobat 9. All other web pages print ok. Very odd.

Chosen solution

Is the PDF embedded in the page (similar to how a Flash movie can be embedded in a page) or is the PDF displayed in the full window?

If the PDF has the full window, you probably need to use the print icon supplied by Adobe Reader. In the version I have, it appears on a toolbar when I float my mouse pointer over the center of the document about 80% of the way down the window. Not as convenient as earlier versions.

Yes, thanks, I suppose it was a bit obvious in retrospect. I was trying to print with the Firefox print button, not the acrobat button. Doh!
