Hi,

"I can always print PDF files"

Reset your printing system.

Open System Preferences > Printers & Scanners then select the Print tab.

Then right or control click the printer on the left then click: Reset printing system

Then try printing PDF files.

Hey Connie, I just updated the printer driver again cuz I could't figure out any other possible reasons, and it worked like a magic. Thanks very much.

Thanks for your reply, but I have updated the driver to the latest version, I don't think that would be the reason.
