Are you running an older version of Adobe? When I open a pdf with a browser, all the pdf controls are in the browser window: print, save, etc.

I don't have any problems doing either one of those functions.

I can also print & save from within an adobe window sans browser.

I'm on acrobat reader 8.1.2. I can print from Macs but not PCs.

Are you sure you're printing to the correct printer? Make sure it's your printer and not like a PDF/RAW file print device.

Hm, that might be it. In the Printer Name drop down box thing I have "Adobe PDF, Microsoft Office Document Image Writer and Microsoft XPS Document Writer," none of which are printers (mayber?).

You can't establish a psychic connection between your computer and your printer. I suggest a USB cord or something similar.

Yea those options allow you to print to a file which is why you're getting the Save As popup.

I dunno why your printers wouldn't show up on the list though @_@

(Other than what Echoman said hahah.

Although a wireless printer would have a sort of psychic-feeling connection >_>)

I'm sorry but you have to restate that again. My sarcasm detector isn't providing a good reading.

Tracer, you seem to be continually plagued with computer problems these days. This is what happens when you keep codfish by your computer.

Wait, Tracer has more than one personality? I remember he was a Russian politician one time.

Explain to me this phenomenon, but in the third person.

Tracer go to languages, and go back to US or Canadian keyboard. If you don't use french, I suggest you remove it then.

Holy damn I hate those things. It always seemed to rip off the sockets (on the computer) those screws go into.

Surely I'm not the only one who knows what I mean.

The ones that had the clips weren't as evil as the screws.

I hated parallel cables not because of the cables but because of the terrible support for everything that used them.

IRQ CONFLICT, NO LPT1 FOR YOU!

THIS PRINTER REQUIRES A PARALLEL PORT WITH EPP/ECP! REBOOT TO BIOS AGAIN!

THE COMPUTER COULD NOT FIND THE SCANNER ATTACHED. PLEASE MAKE SURE THE POWER AND DATA CABLES ARE CONNECTED, EVEN THOUGH YOU'VE DONE THAT TWICE NOW.
