On PDFs it is usually imperative that you save the PDF before printing to avoid PDF conflicts. E.G. a PDF saved originally in say USA Legal page format will not print from a browser where the usual printer page setting is A4. Printer refuses fixed page command from PDF. This was a thing we often saw in USA /UK PDFs between our company's offices. So we got into habit of always saving PDF locally, and checking it's embedded typefaces and page formats, before printing. PS Some folk in USA ticked box of PDF to be non-printable but only viewable. It is a case by case problem.
