Has anyone been successful with these printing features, with this or any other pdf viewer? I want to print pages of a mobile phone instruction book which I have downloaded. It has very small pages and scaling up would help.

Hi Graham

I presume you're using Ubuntu. You can also download the Adobe Reader 
too from the repositories. In Edgy, the newest version of Acrobat Reader 
now has most of the print dialog options that Windows has, in earlier 
version of Acrobat reader 7 for Linux you had virtually no print options 
available.

So please try that, it may help.

Your printer also determines some of the print options available too. 
You could try a different printer driver, some have more options 
available. Try linuxprinting.org to find out what drivers you can use 
with your printer.

Its an excellent site for anyone who has printing issues.

Good luck!

Julian
