Google chrome printing to local printer

[discoveranother]

Hi all,

 

Have a school with a PC and Google Chrome is set as the default browser. Certain online financial websites they use, they print pdfs.

 

The default pdf on the PC is set to Adobe reader.

 

However, when they select some links in these online portals to print pdfs, the pdfs open in Google Chrome not adobe. In addition, when they print from the pdf in Google chrome, it prints to a network printer but if they select the local printer which they want, no printouts occur. The local printer is also set as the default.

 

Any help most grateful

On the financial websites in question, the user should try right-click > Save link as for the PDFs to download them for opening in Acrobat, rather than left-clicking and having Chrome's PDF viewer showing them. That's assuming that the PDFs are being presented as links, and there isn't some janky print function within the page getting in the way of that.

Also, when printing from Chrome, expand More settings and select Print using system dialogue... (right at the bottom) to get the full-fat printing options. That ought to improve the chances of success.
