Everyone else in the world probably already knows this, but I just ran into a printing problem using the Google Chrome browser viewing pdf files.
A pdf would look just fine on screen, but when I printed from the browser, sometimes it would drop paragraphs in the output.
It was driving me mad. I received and printed out a 12 page document for review over lunch, and blocks were obviously missing. I printed it out again, same problem.
I downloaded it to my drive and printed from Adobe. It was fine.
A little search on the Chrome forums states that this is a known issue. The fix:
Type "aboutlugins" (Edit: ARGH. the auto-smiley feature messes up the code--type "about : plugins" but remove the spaces on both sides of the colon) in the omni-search bar (without quotes), disable Chrome pdf reader, and enable whatever other pdf viewer you might have. (I have Adobe).
It did the trick. Still, I am amazed that Google would put out such a flawed plugin as a default. Google is trying to attract business and enterprise folks, and this doesn't contribute to their credibility.
