Printing Issues - Defaults to print to pdf

My pdf files will not print.  When I choose print, although my Epson printer is the default, the Adobe printer dialog box always opens up with "Microsoft Print to PDF".  When I change to my default printer, it doesnʻt do anything and changes back to print to pdf.  All other types of documents print on my printer, just not the saved pdfʻs.  I tried printing a pdf while on the browser, Microsoft edge, and the pdfʻs print!

I am using a paid monthly version of Adobe

Oh my goodness.  I just closed all the open pdf files and re-opened them and now I can print with my default printer.  That was wild!  Sorry to bother the group.  I guess it still stands true, if all else fails, shut down and restart!  Aloha

Hi @johnnar, 

 

Thank you for keeping this thread updated with your findings. 

Ideally, if such an issue happens, it is more related to how Acrobat is being set up by IT administrators, if your machine is an IT-managed one. 


Glad to hear you found an answer already.

Thank you for the response. My version is one that I use at home and pay a monthly fee
