Printing without saving first

[jwjonz]

For some time now when I go to print an adobe document I've downloaded from the internet I'm asked to save the document first. I then need to call up the saved document in order to print it. Previously I could just print the document without saving it. I typically don't want to save the document and this requirement introduces an unnecessary extra step. What has happened to cause this and how can I get around it?

Please state what documents you mean and how you access them and with what OS and version.

when I Download a document from the web, I can print it directly. I think, the problem arises from som misconfiguration of your browser or other programs you use.

It is any PDF document I have opened such as a credit card statement for example. I am running Windows 10, Version 10.0.14393. Thanks for trying to help me with this.

I think I've figured it out. For some reason the print function of Adobe had been changed and was no longer set to my printer. Once I went in and changed it back to the printer it did not ask me to save the document first. I tried just a couple of documents to confirm the solution and that small sample worked fine.Thanks again.

This happens in Win10 when you delete your default printer.

I am having the same issue. Can you tell me how where you went to make these print changes to Adobe.
