Acrobat reader quick print not working

Hi Adobe,

 

I have been trying to get the quick printing function working again on Adobe Acrobat Reader. I have installed any updates, and still no change. Reinstalled the application and reset the printer within Windows. None of this has worked. After a long afternoon of troubleshooting, I have found the problem.

 

It has to do with running the latest version of Acrobat. If you click on the menu and scroll down until it says, turn off the latest version of Adobe Acrobat. Restart the application, and your problems will be resolved.

 

I hope this helps someone who is having the same problem.

    When I try to quick print, it says "The document could not be printed" and "There are no pages selected to print." Can anyone help?

    Kudos Josh! Thanks for this remedy. You're a life saver. 

    I do not understand how Adobe released the new version without testing the quick print functionality.

      Hi Joshua27140953w9bi,
       
      Thanks for reporting this to us.
       
      I have tried the same workflow and issue is not reproducible at my end.
       
      Could you please provide the following information:
       
      1) Has the problem started happening recently, or has it been going on for a while.
      2) What's the version of Acrobat Reader you are using. You can check it by clicking on  
      (HELP) TOP LEFT CORNER > ADOBE ACROBAT READER 
       
      3) Is it happening with every PDF files and some set of PDF files. Please share any one of them.
      4) It will be great if you can provide a video of the issue that’s happening at your end.
      5) Is the issue happening every time, or is it happening intermittently. 
       
      Thanks,

      Hi Abhishek Ranjan Singh,

       

      The issue started recently for all PDF files.

       

      I have attached a video showing the problem and a screenshot of the version of Adobe Acrobat. You can't see the printer in the video, but if it printed, you would hear it because it is right next to me.

       

      Many thanks,

       

      Josh

      Hi Josh,

       

      Thank you for the quick reply. I have tried the same workflow, but the issue is
      not reproducible at my end.

       

      Could you please share some more information to debug the issue further.

      1. Please share the PDF that you have used in the video.
      2. What's the behaviour when you are quick-printing any PDF that is available on your system.
      Please follow the below steps:

      Do not open the PDF in Acrobat. Just right-click on any PDF icon and then click on print to check whether it is getting printed or not.
      Please share the observation at your end.

       

      3. Is protected mode enabled or not? You can check by following the below steps.

      Open Preferences (CTRL + K) > Security (Enhanced) > Enabled Protected Mode at Startup

       

      4. Which printer are you using at your end, and how did you add that printer to your system.
      5. Is your printer selected as the default printer or not. Please confirm.

       

      Thanks,
      Abhishek Ranjan Singh
