Stupid printing
So I get this pdf file which appears to be a scan from a magazine from my professor that has text on pages 4, 6, and 8-12 with stupid pictures on the other pages. I don't have time to read it at my computer so I want to simply print 4, 6, and 8-12. I think it's fvcktarded that I have to do three print operations (4 to 4, 6 to 6, and 8 to 12) to get this done. Am I fvcktarded and missing something obvious?

They are evil.
that said, as far as I know, you will have to create 3 different print operations, which is heinous, but such are printers.

you COULD export the pages you want to print, stitch them together and then just print once ....
And you could cram pennies in your ass every day so you feel superior to others because you know deep down that they have handled your ass pennies. It just isn't practical.

I have very little success with Printers, They either print things incorrectly, or they waste paper by making me jump thru hoops to get what I want.

Not on winblows. Print: 4,6,8-12. It works in one operation. Gah. OS X is light years ahead of Windows but still lags behind on a few issues.
causes a bunch of problems where I work...
of course most of that has to do with professors uploading class notes in PDF form that are 60MEGS in size!.... (they don't know how to compress, the professors that is)...
are you running panther? printing has improved somewhat...
but I don't think it does what you want...
another alternative is to put your print center in the dock (or your default printer if you have more then one) and drag the pages you want to be printed...
edit: oh and the problem is actually MUCH worse on XP--especially when trying to have multiple slides on one page (the professors use powerpoint, UGH)...
this is one area that X is much better at...
but thats not really saying much....
Though maybe this is fixed in XP

no it is not... you only get the frame that is currently "active" in IE...
but AFAIK it is the same behavior as safari???
I don't usually print from the web...

Really I'm pretty sure it worked for me. Though I'd have to try.

heh yeah I forgot to add that printing in OS X SUCKS
Probably why the majority of design firms have not moved over to OSX.
Sure, Quark held things up too, but when your livelihood depends on being able to output what you have on your screen, it's understandable.
