I am trying to print forms from two different sites and from 2 different printers. I get that same 'print to file' which is asking me for a file name to print too. I want to print from my printers and not to a file. I have checked to see if the box is 'ticked' and it is not. One I'm trying to print is a form from the IRS site and the other is an application from my credit union. I did print a page from the site we are discussing all of this on and it didn't ask for a file name to print to. I am getting a message from Adobe reader asking me to go to manage add-ons in Interet Explorer and enable add-ones from Adobe. Would this message cause the printing problems I'm having?
Both of my printers are HPs if that helps.
I'm at a loss and getting desperate to be able to print these forms I need.

Linda,
First off, follow Paul's advice about posting images.

Secondly, answer Lem's question about what you see in 'Printers and Faxes' folder.

Third, answer this, you say you don't get the 'pint to...' box, so tell me; what happens if you open a document in WordPad (go and do it now) and with your mouse click on 'File' from the top menu then onto 'Print' from the menu that drops down after you click on 'File' ???

What happens then? - Still no 'print to...' box - just your 'Save to file' box?

Cheers, Tim Med***, Peckham, London. :-)

I'm back! I have tried to print from the menu which is the only way I print
because I have no control of my printing from the icon. When I click on print
the preference box does not open. All I get is the box that asks for a file
name. I did go to my printers from the control panel and I can not see that
on the printer at all. My printer is still asking for a file name in order to
print. Is there anything else I can do? I did take a screen shot but I don't
know how to get it to you so you can see what I'm talking about.

Thanks for the help but I don't see anything that says 'print to file' that
may be ticked. I thank everyone for their help and I might get it to print
again if I figure it out. I have to go to a meeting right now without the
forms but I'll try to tackle this when I get back.
Again; Thanks to all.
If you mean you can't see a "print to file" box on *your* computer,
please identify what program you're using when you print.

Otherwise, the check box is just to the left of the "Preferences" button
on the first image and above and to the right of the circled "3" on the
second image.

Tim: sure, it's perfectly OK to quote from my posts.

Please answer the questions about what you see in the Printers and Faxes screen.

To (at least temporarily) avoid issues between Adobe Reader and IE, instead of *printing* the forms, save them to your desktop. Then double click the saved forms, Adobe Reader should open, and now you should be able to use the File > Print command *in Adobe Reader* (and not in Internet Explorer). When you do so, make sure that you're printing to an actual printer.

If the problems you have been having are *only* when you attempt to print a pdf file that is open in IE, the easiest way around that may be to go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Software and uninstall Adobe Reader. Then go to http://www.adobe.com/ and click on the button to "Get Adobe Reader." Save the file to your desktop. Close IE. Double click the Adobe Reader install file and follow the prompts. Uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Reader *should* reset any communications issues between Reader and IE.
