X-post to Vista Print Fax Scan.
Running Zone Alarm? -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE, OE, Security, Shell/User) AumHa VSOP & Admin http://aumha.net DTS-L http://dts-l.net/ anniehall wrote: When I try to print/save a web page as a pdf in Vista, the pdf printer dialog box shows "error" against status and "desktop" against location and the pdf printer refuses to print. Instead I get another dialog up saying "file saved in temporary internet files, do I want to view, yes or no". When I click yes, I'm taken to a folder in my documents which contains no files. I can pdf files from, say, Word with no problems. I can also web files with my Epson deskjet, also the MS Doc Image Writer. Although I am logged on as Administrator and don't have another user account, if I go to control panel, users, and disable the security options, I can then save my pdf. I don't understand this. Can anyone help. I want to be able to pdf files from the web without compromising my computer's security. Many thanks |

I must be very thick, but I don't understand your response. Could you be a
bit more specific about how I should deal with this problem. Thanks Annie "PA Bear [MS MVP]" wrote: X-post to Vista Print Fax Scan.

Thanks Annie "PA Bear [MS MVP]" wrote: X-post to Vista Print Fax Scan. Robear crossposted your post to the microsoft.public.windows.vista-print_fax_scan newsgroup since you will probably get a better answer there. He also asked if you are running ZoneAlarm since that may be the cause of your issue. So you need to answer his question. Malke -- Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!"

We are having the same problem in our office (printing a web page to a PDF
file); does anyone have a remedy for this problem? "PA Bear [MS MVP]" wrote: X-post to Vista Print Fax Scan.

Please begin your own thread about your problem, RC. State your Windows
version and if you're running Zone Alarm. -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE, OE, Security, Shell/User) AumHa VSOP & Admin http://aumha.net DTS-L http://dts-l.net/ RC wrote: We are having the same problem in our office (printing a web page to a PDF file); does anyone have a remedy for this problem?
