'Unable to start print job'

[_hkrause_]

That's the error message I get with Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 (and Reader) when I try to print a .PDF with my Win VISTA 32-bit setup.

The full message:

Unable to start print job. Is printer available?

Yes, it is.

Nothing I can do in printer settings seems to fix this. I have seen this error message floating around from others, but no fix.

Any ideas?

Many thanks. Your elegant Repair Acrobat Installation solution worked for me just now -- Acrobat Pro 8.1.4, Windows XP Pro -- after weeks of trying other suggestions in these forums (and quietly going nuts).

Go to:

File >> Print >> Click "Advanced" at the bottom left >> check "Print as image" >> Click "ok"

Printers and faxes - (right click on printer) - properties

Advanced - check Start printing after last page is spooled.

that worked for me, other dont
