where is my printer?

When I try to print a pdf file using adobe acrobat reader my printer is not in the list of options. I have tried uninstalling the printer and reinstalling it but it still doesn't show up. I am however able to print from it using other software. Please help.

Just as a primary solution - check your Settings in acrobat and look for printer options.

Here's something else I found through Google:

Go to Start > Run and type services.msc and click "OK"
Scroll down to "Print Spooler"
Right click and choose "Properties"
Now click on the "Dependencies" Tab
The only thing there should be "Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
If there are any other items listed - remove them
Go back to the "General" Tab and make sure the "Startup Type" is set to "Automatic" and that the service is "Started" - Reboot

I hope this helps.
