Printed fine here ... this one has been on my want-to-do list for sometime!

Beat me to it and show me yours!!

GRRR....this is driving me crazy. Y'all can print page #2 but I can't? I've cleared the print queue, history, cache, cookies, again.
I've even sent it to myself in an email, clicked on the link and tried.
I've saved it to my hard drive and tried.
Why on earth would page #1 print but not page #2??
I've said every bad word I can think of today over this. :(

So much for technological advancements. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
Pretty funny actually. You gotta figure between the two of us we're surrounded by five grand worth of equipment. And the USPS is the only option. :roll: :roll:

Thank you so much.
I'll keep trying and if I give up, I will PM you.
You're a peach! :thumbup:

I use Mozilla Firefox for the quilting board. I get the same blue line for pdf's. I have to use Internet Explorer to open many pdf's.

I use Firefox too but I don't get a blue line.
I actually did get page 2 to print sort of, a minute ago, but it came out landscape (even though I have it set to Portrait), and it only printed about 1/2 of the info.
But now the printer is at least sucking the paper in for page 2 (that's an improvement), I can hear it whirring and setting itself up to print, then POOF...nothing happens.
The printer icon disappears again from the task bar.
I've had this pc for 2 years and have printed dozens of PDF files with no problems.
I don't know why page #2 would give me such a bad time.
But I'm going to figure it out or throw the printer against the wall!

It's probably sensitive to all those bad words you used today!! :)

When I am in a fit over computer things not working ... my best plan of attack is to usually close everything, re-boot and start again.

And you know what ... lots of time, that's all it takes!

Weirdness, I know!

I've done all that too.
I finally opened a blank Word document (see what bad words can make you think of?) and copied the text to it and printed it.
The graphics wouldn't copy but I can probably draw them (badly... but enough to get the idea).
Thanks everyone for your suggestions.
I'm going to have some chocolate!

Now that you have that accomplished ... please get to work and show us the real thing! :)
