Re: acrobat reader doc won't print

A new turn in the acrobat - not printing problem... On the weekend, the
user noticed that acrobat documents will print if you send them to a
different printer. So, I changed the driver on the mac from a laserjet
2100 series to laserjet 4/4m postscript and all the acrobat documents print
without errors. Is this a problem with the 2100 driver? I'm going to hunt
up another driver for it, but for now, switching to another compatible
printer driver allows printing, but I'm sure some new problems will pop up.

On a side note, anyone notice that after installing acrobat 6, you can't
quit the application, you have to force quit, and it messes up diagrams in
certain pdf files? Stick with acrobat 5 if you can for OS X.
