I've been trying for a 1/2hr to print page #2 of this pattern
http://www.stitch-n-frame.net/images/koolkatskwilt_.pdf

I have printed the 1st page several times but page #2 won't print.

Is it just me or is something wrong with page 2?

I find on a PDF the only way I can print is through the little printer icon (not File-Print or Ctrl P). Have you tried going to that page (2) and clicking on the icon.

Yes. I've clicked on File/Print, and Ctrl P, and also the print icon, etc. Every which way I could think of.
My printer makes sounds like it's setting itself up to do it but the printer icon disappears from the task bar.
I can't figure it out. I've printed PDFs a million times without trouble.

I just printed off page2 (ONLY page 2) and it came out right away and perfectly aligned. So it's not the file.

Did you try saving the .pdf to your hard drive and THEN printing?

I've been having the same problem on many sites for PDF files. It even "loads" up with the blue line but then never opens. I'm going to see if my son can help with it. If I get any answers I'll post what I find out.

Hmmm.
PM your address if you want. I'll throw it in the mail to you.

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:
