As the title says - latest OS, downloaded silverlight from the link - is up to date as far as im aware.

Will take me through to the print dialog box -
html_removed
its selected to print in pdf then when i select the print button, noting. The window wont go either, its not like it gets lost - it will literally not take me beyond the print dialog window

strange.

Anyone else suffering? Know a workaround? I've looked and used search but unless im missing something obvious i found nothing so far

Thanks in advance

Doanwload specialise pdf printer software. I don't know why you're seeing a problem, it could well be that an update has affected it. But, that said, mac's native pdf printer options are pretty poor and specific software will do a much better job (and give you better customisation options).

I'm able to print on my mac os with the native printer, and on my windows os with BullZip.

When I print to PDF on Mac using the native PDF thing it crops the right hand side of the second and third pages... any ideas how to fix that?

In case this helps anyone else with a Mac wanting to print to A4 (or PDF) basically you need to go in to Printer & Fax Settings and set the system wide default paper size to US Letter.  PDF printing will work straight off, but for printing to actual paper you need to use scaling to get it to fit to A4.

brindy, you've saved my (and 3 other members of my group's) life - we were having this crop issue and going mental! Of course being in the UK, we hadn't thought to set the printer at US letter!

Many thanks, Halgabron
