Question: I am trying to print the brochure or coupon but nothing seems to happen?

Answer: Basin Audiology make extensive use of .pdf documents. The .pdf extension stands for portable document format. Documents created with this extension can be printed on numerous operating systems without creating multiple versions for each system. A real time saver for me! Printing of the Basin Audiology documents was optimize by embedding all the postscript fonts you need for printing. Some users have reported that their pdf documents are not printing or taking a long time to print. Keep the following information in mind when trying to print pdf documents:

Acrobat 2.0 does not do a good job printing to non-postscript printers you should upgrade to at least Acrobat Reader 3.0, preferably Acrobat Reader 5.0. Click here to go to Adobe's site and download the most recent copy of the Acrobat Reader

When printing to non-postscript printers, Acrobat Reader must rasterize all the fonts to be printed on a page, this can take quite a bit of time, especially, if there are many different fonts and/or graphic items on a page. If the pdf file uses fonts that are not on your system it can take even longer. For some users, as much as 10 minutes to begin printing after sending the job to the printer.

Try to reduce the resolution of the print image, that should help considerably and if possible try to use a draft printing mode.

You should turn off background printing if possible and be sure you have the latest printer driver for your printer.
