Printer Problem.

I have Holiday Details attached to Email and open to Adobe.
When I try to print the print preview shows but when I click on ok I am given the option to save not print.
Help appreciated! Thanks.

    Why not try and save them and then once saved go back and try to print again

    Before you press ok make sure that your printer name is shown and it is not trying to make a file.

    Or try, right click the attachment in the email and select print?

    Save the file to your desktop first. Open it and try to print again.
    Check in Control Panel>Printers & Faxes that your default printer is correctly set.
    Can you print others docs already saved on your computer? If so, it's not a printer problem.

    Well where did you download it to? In your Downloads folder probably?
    Just use the Search/Find facility to locate it.

    So can you print other files or not?
    Default printer correctly set?
    Change the setting in the printer dialogue box from the default 'Print All' to 'Print from x to y'.

    Good-but how about telling us what the problem was and how you sorted it? Otherwise there is no benefit to others on the forum.
