Thanks again Ronni.
To answer your questions:
Yes, the Epson R230 shows in the Print and Fax prefs, along with my
other printers.
To elaborate - I have no problems choosing the printer when printing
from Acrobat, or anywhere else - it is only that I can't choose it in
the Page Setup (in Acrobat only) which results in a reduced print
area available because of the "Any Printer" default being used.
I can print from Preview OK - just that Acrobat has more output
options except, in this case, the printable area of a page. In fact I
can print OK from Acrobat except the aforementioned problem - I can
reduce the print size to fit the printable area but that's not what I
want with these files I'm printing.
I have seen someone else with this problem http://
forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=602214 but no solution.
Cheers

Hi Mike,
Do you have the Epson R230 showing in "Print & Fax" with correct
drivers and printing from other applications without any problems?
Can you print a PDF from Preview without any problems?
Taken from Adobe Support:
"At times, you may encounter problems when printing a PDF file. For
example, a PDF file can contain damaged content such as images or
fonts that cannot be rendered by Acrobat during the printing process.
Choosing Print As Image bypasses that rendering operation by
sending the printer a rasterized image of the document.
To print as image:
1. Open the PDF file in Acrobat.
2. Choose File > Print.
3. Click Advanced.
4. Select Print As Image near the top of the dialog box.
5. Click OK, and then click OK again to print. "
Cheers,
Ronni

Thanks for the replies Ronni and Dave and sorry for the confusion
- I'm trying to physically print a PDF file from Acrobat Pro to a
non-postscript printer so a little more data:
I'm using Tiger and attempting to print to an Epson R230, although
it doesn't matter which printer I use - it is the Page Setup that
doesn't allow me to choose any printer because none of them are
listed in the "Format For" selector.
On my wife's MacBook, using Snow Leopard, the Page Setup shows all
printers so it is just this version of Acrobat on this computer
that is the problem. I could get around it by moving the files and
printing from the MacBook but I was hoping there might be a
simpler solution, such as trashing a preference or something.
