How can I get my Canon MX882 Printer to print .pdf files again? I have a Windows 7 Home Professional system.

It prints MS Word files fine, but when I have it print a .pdf file, it tells me that the printer is offline. It won't do it unless I somehow copy the file onto a MS Word docx document and then print it.

    The pdf print box has save or print option. If it stays in the Pdf mode it will not comunicate with the printer.

You need to go to the PDF file Open it in Adobe which has a print function.

Testimonial: "It's already open as Adobe, but my printer still says that it's offline."

  • gbob59 Mar 09, 2015

    check printer status. make sure it is defalt. Did you "save" something in PDF instead of printing? And now you want to print it? So it stays in PDF "save" mode until you change it back to default printer. I recently had to learn that.

  • Patricia David Crossley

    I only have one multifunction printer, so it's the default printer. Both the original document and the saved document are adobe .pdf files, and it really doesn't want to print -- keeps saying that the printer is offline. It's not offline, because after I delete the document from the queue, I can print an MS Word file without rebooting either the computer or the printer, and without installing any new drivers.

When I try to print a pdf file from reader 9 its

I know you have, but I have to ask, have you set the printer as windows default? Do you have MS word installed, and can you create a PDF file from your DOC? In reader 9 have you checked the printer setup and checked the properties there for your printer. Then if it fails again I would uninstall reader 9 and reboot and reinstall, after my printer was installed and working as planed.
