    Correct answer

    I had the same problem, I somehow finally worked it out.

    Go to this link and then follow the things i am telling you below

    Error 0x00000709 Cannot Set Default Printer on Windows [Solved] - Driver Easy

    After Giving Permissions Go to Device again in same process

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Windows

    and change the Device Name to your installed printer.

    Hopefully it will be solved.

    Has anyone tried updating their print drivers to the very latest available?

    Adobe Reader picks up the printer list from the OS. It always shows the printer installed on your machine.

    Kindly let us know the exact version of Adobe Reader if it is still not working fine.

    To check the version, please go to Help-> About Adobe Reader X1

      kindly re-start the spooler services on your machine. Verify the printers list on the oS and then check whether all installed printers are seen using Adobe Reader Printer dialog or not.
