Printer manufacturers offer updated drivers to improve compatibility with newer software, such as newer versions of Reader and Acrobat. Go to the manufacturer's website, and browse or search for "drivers" or "printer drivers. If you have a different printer connected to your computer, try printing the file to the other printer.
Sometimes a different printer can successfully print a PDF that doesn't print on another printer. To switch printers on Windows, see Change the default printer Windows 10 and 8 or search Windows help for instructions. Often printing problems stem from issues with the PDF file.

We don't condone illegal file sharing and work hard to prevent it, but there is a commercial balance between the cost of stopping every last pirated copy and the profits on the entire product line.
Thus far, the ADE ebook route appears to be the best alternative. I myself am a former Academic Economist who is now an Internet Marketer working primarily in the Internet Marketing training field. In theory, I agree with what you have written regarding piracy in the online sector and how our costs should reflect this loss. I also agree with the delicate balance that you mentioned, that some piracy can actually be a good thing in that it has the potential to increase business and profits by serving as additional advertisement.
These "facts" have been seen and proven for those online businesses you listed, which, while ALL in the online sector, I would argue, fall into certain industry classifications.
I am not, however, at all entirely convinced that every online business can possibly weather piracy; it all depends on which industry classification this business fits into and also what the market structure is that this business finds itself in, in particular, whether there is a large quasi-monopoly firm that dominates this niche. Let me expand on these points for just a moment. My wife Martha is the music arranger on our husband-wife team, and quite an excellent one at that, being the arranger for the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra; she was also trained at one of the best music conservatories in this country in violin, at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY.
It is Martha who is quite apprehensive about placing her downloadable arrangements online without some type of DRM-protection Specifically, much of her musical arrangements are geared to be sold to the Suzuki violin, viola and cello audience. This market is structured in such a way that one teacher with their private studio may have anywhere from 15 to 45 private students or more; Martha herself has 32 private violin students she keeps busy!
If Martha's downloadable sheet music is not DRM-protected in some manner, it could be very tempting for a teacher to simply attach the PDF to an email and send it to his or her entire private studio Martha just wants to remove this immediate temptation from the teacher.
We realize that should the teacher really want to supply their students with these arrangements, they can do so in a number of ways. One possibility is to simply scan the arrangements, saving them as new PDFs, and then sending these out via email. However, this would take a more deliberate act of larceny.
There is one additional major issue that enters into this equation. Because of potential copyright issues with this Suzuki material, Martha was wisely advised by our IP attorneys to introduce some new "bowing and fingering" techniques in her new variations of the Suzuki arrangements that may be viewed as being quite "revolutionary" by some perhaps initially, many in the Suzuki community.
This community is quite close and we are not sure what the consensus reaction will be. We have done quite a bit of test marketing, and while the overwhelming majority of the over 50 Suzuki teachers that Martha talked to definitely liked the arrangements for their musicality, it is not clear in the final analysis what the market's overall reaction will be. Do I sound paranoid? Let me add one additional true fact that will shed some additional light. There exists a very large music Publishing Company PC that has an Exclusive Publishing Relationship with the Suzuki Association of the Americas, the name of this PC is really not germane to this discussion, but what is important is that Martha just ended a stormy three year distribution contract with this PC this past July 24, This PC made no ownership of their repeated errors this happened more than once!
Because of this very bad relationship between Martha and this PC and because Martha's new arrangements, which focus in on the Suzuki market in a novel and fresh way she has a tremendous number of arrangements We just want to protect all the hard work that Martha has done! This particular segment of the music industry is fundamentally different than almost any other industry that I have encountered in all my years as an Academic Economist It is considerably different than the utility monopolies that we oversaw at the PUC, because even these monopolies were regulated.
In this instance, for the Suzuki niche, because of their Exclusive Publishing Relationship with the Suzuki Association of the Americas, and also their Size, this PC is in essence, an unregulated monopoly, acting with pure, unadulterated arrogance. To sum up, I think it is sufficient to say that it is very important to understand the underlying nature of the market that one is in and how it works to determine whether it makes sense to invest in DRM.
