Reader 9 PDF printing problems

I have a Kyocera FS-C5015N. When I print any multi-page PDFs to the FS-C5015N, only the first page comes out or nothing at all. I have tracked the problem down to Adobe Reader 9. I say this because I can successfully print multi-page PDFs using version 8.2. But I cannot with v9. I have downloaded the latest drivers from Kyocera's website. Same problem. I can successfully print with Word, Excel, etc. just not Adobe Reader v9. Any ideas on what I can do to resolve this issue? Thanks.

    Hello
    Found a solution that get around the problem of only printing the first page from another forum, which i can no longer find? It involves changing setting in acrobat, file print, advanced, select postcript options, and then ahange 'Font and Resource Policy' to Send for Each Page?

    Hello : I have a HP 4100 deskjet and it will not print the files eather , i found that i can get it to print 10 pages at a time , but they are all written in reverse . So you can not read them , i know a lot of people need to be able to write there own files , but i just need to be able to read and print PDF files . I had adobe 8 but it would not print the CD file Manual sent to me for the DVD player and had me up grade to adobe 9. Problem is if the file was written with adobe8 you have to have it to print it and if it was written with 7,9, then you need those to be able to print the information that was written be those programs . Adobe need to have just one that will read and print all forms .

    I have an HP550C which will only print the first page of a multi-page doc correctly. With Ver 9, follow-up pages are printed with gibberish characters. With another PC with Ver 8, all printing works properly.

    Hi,

    I am having the same problem with a Kyocera KM3232e and there is a workaround for it, although it has not fixed the problem completely.

    This fix assumes you are using the kyocera KX driver (this is a universal driver so most kyoceras use this driver.

    If you go into the printers and faxes folder, right click on the kyocera printer and select properties, then go to device settings, there will be a button on the screen called "PDL". Note, if the driver is installed on a server and you are on the client pc, this will be greyed out. You will have to log onto the print server to change the setting.
    When you click on the button you then be able to "select PDL:" It will probably be set to KPDL. click on the "settings" button and deselect the "allow data passthrough" button. Click Ok until you have closed the kyocera printer window down.

    This forces the adobe reader to do more of the processing and it seems to allow the document to print fully. In my particular case this causes the print quality to drop markedly but I think that is a separate issue!!!!

    Has anyone found a better solution to this problem than clicking print as image? possibly a more permanent solution?

    I've had the same problem, ever since I installed Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Pro. It will only print the 1st page on both the Canon ImageRunner C3220 and Kyocera KM4050 printers. The problem is not with the printer drivers - the problem is with Adobe!

    My fix has been to open the document using Acrobat Reader (I have 7.0)and it prints fine. Now I'm seeing the same problem on the forums with Acrobat Reader 9.0.

    I'm refusing to purchase or download any future upgrades until Adobe acknowledges and fixes this problem. Currently the fix is to revert back to any version prior to 9.0 and you will be able to print just fine.

    We are having the same issue with Adobe Reader 9.0 and our Toshiba e-studio 281c. Only the first page of a multi-page document will print. It worked great until we updated to 9.0!! Help.

    Regarding the "print only the first page" problem, we use Dell W5300N printers, using the latest PS driver from Dell.

    Foxit Reader has no problems.
