Okay, I give up... I had to load Adobe reader to view some work and I needed
to print it. When I click on "print" it tells me that before I can print or
run page setup I need to add a printer. I have a printer, it prints just fine
everywhere else but not with Adobe reader. It worked just fine with the XP
that I had.I have check the fire walls and all the other places that I know
to look. I've ask other people, they don't know either. If their is somebody
that knows how to fix this I would be most thankful.

Are you using the print icon from the toolbar, or using File, Print.....
then ensuring you choose the right printer.

Is the printer a network printer?

I added a Brother network printer and found that some apps would not print.
I stumbled upon the following solution.

I added a PDF printer, in this case Bullzip.,
Changed the default printer to Bullzip.
Then changed the default printer to the Brother printer..
Voila! All apps now print.

The implication appears to be that Vista is not properly setting the
properties for the default printer, in my case, when only the networked
Brother printer and the microsoft XPS printer are defined.

Adding the PDF printer to the mix seems to have fixed the prtoblem.
