Can't print email attachments

[MoneyGuy]

I get many emails with PDF attachments that I must print. When I try to print, the document shows up in my print pane but when I hit print it prints the email message, but I cannot print the attachment. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat Reader with the current version but that's not solved my problem.

Any solution for me?

Save the attachment to your desktop and then print it seperately

What Rathji said. I'm not sure if it's a printer software issue, or windows software issue, but it seems to be a recurring issue.

This could potentially be caused from the temporary folder that is used to detach the attachments filling up. Usually it manifests as an inability to open attachments out of emails, but I could see it impacting printing too.

I really think you should donate to CP the money that you're not paying your IT department.

Then I'll have to bill all those members to whom I've been providing free financial advice. Seriously, it's not a bad idea. I'll do that.

Yeah, that's one idea but I was hoping to avoid the extra step.

Is this just for PDF attachments or for all attachments? When you go to print the attachment/PDF, where are you printing from? The email or from Acrobat Reader/the application that opens the attachment?
