adobe acrobat printing error

I have adobe acrobat professional XI.  When I try to print a browser page I get an error after I click on save button.  I get access denied.  I have reinstalled, repaired, removed printer and reinstalled printer.  I have same problem with all browsers.  This used to work.  I don't know when it stopped.

What print driver are you printing to? I'm guessing it's Adobe PDF, but I want to be sure.

I'm not saying this is the permanent solution, but as a troubleshooting step, try printing to another PDF print driver. There are many free good ones out there. Two are Bullzip and doPDF:

http://www.dopdf.com

Try one or both — that will tell us if the Adobe PDF printer is the problem or if it's something else.

Adobe PDF printer problems can be very difficult to resolve. I've been on many threads here at EE about this. A fairly recent one that sticks in my mind is this:

https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/28337715/Browsers-won't-print-to-adobe-pdf-printer.html

It had the #1 and #2 ranked Adobe Acrobat experts (overall — in the history of EE), generated 69 comments in more than two weeks of effort, and eventually was resolved by the asker spending an hour on the phone with Adobe — so you may want to go that route up-front, although your problem could be due to a completely different issue, and some of the suggestions in that thread (or this one) may work for you. Point is, just a heads-up that this could be a sticky wicket. Regards, Joe

different profile didn't have problem.  so I created new profile for me.  Still quite a bit of work to get everything working correctly.

Yes, that's why creating a new profile, which often does work for many problems, is typically a later recommendation. Regards, Joe
