Hi Atul,

Yes I am able to print any regular webpages in IE9 with protected mode ON.  If needed I can perform the same test on IE8 with protected mode ON.

You can see the difference in the behavior before completing the print job - when you choose print... from a regular webpage, choose the Canon (if not default), and click preference you will find the printer is set to "Output: Store" which is default printer (correct) setting.  When you choose print... with a PDF open, choose the Canon (if not default), and click properties you will find the printer is set to "Output: Print".  I tried a few different non-PDF pages and they all end up in the mailbox which is my default setting.

Atul,

Were you able to reproduce this issue with the instructions/drivers I sent you?

Thanks,

Jake

Atul,

No problem.  Yes I still see this issue.  I will try to send you the latest driver that I am using but the file is large and may not go through via email.  Here is a link to the driver package also:

http://downloads.canon.com/isg_public/PCL6_v6.85_Win2k-Win7_INF.exe

Steps:

Run the driver package - this extracts driver files to a temporary directory.

Add new networked printer in Windows 7 Pro - these drivers are for 32 bit but the problem exhibits in both 32 and 64 bit.

Have disk - browse to the pcl6 subdirectory in the temporary directory above.

Once installed configure printing preferences for the new printer - On Page Setup tab under Output Method change this to store in a mailbox.

Now ready to test.  Open a pdf document on a website in IE9.  Click the printer icon to print it. Choose this new printer (if not default) and then click on properties - it will not show output method as store (reverts to default setting of print).

Thanks,

Jake

Hi Sonal,

Thank you for continuing to try to track this down.  The snapshot you show is exactly what we want the behavior to be however it's not what is happening on our systems here.  I'm not sure what else I can provide to try to help reproduce the problem however it is the same on multiple systems.  Here is some more info (I apologize in advance for the number of snapshots but I hope they will lend useful info!).  Please let me know what else I can provide that would help!  These snapshots are from my system which is 64-bit (32-bit systems exhibit the same symptoms).

No I never heard back from my last post.  Not sure what else I can do to help get this resolved.

For the one site that was the biggest issue we added it to our trusted sites - then it works OK but it's far from a real "fix" for the underlying problem (or you can disable protected mode altogether but that defeats the purpose if you ask me).
