Why "Print" and also "Print Now!"?

    Only the second options prints.

      Print Now! goes straight to the system's default printer.  If that printer is on, connected and talking to the computer, and in working order, the document is printed in one click.

      If the printer marked as default either is turned off, or is not connected, this option will not work.

      Print... goes to a dialog where you may choose printer options before going to print, or, if you have multiple printers and PDF writers to choose between, Print... gives you that option of choice.  Print... requires at minimum two clicks.

      Print now! is just a convenience built-in to the software.

      I am assuming that because one of these is not printing, it is because your system's default printer is not functioning and you are choosing a second printer.

      If you only have one printer, then you should check your system's control panel, e.g. Windows, Control Panel, Printers and Faxes.  Make sure your working printer is set as the default.

      Oops, I should have read your question a little more closely...

      "Only the second option prints"

      That is Print now!, so perhaps you need to select a working printer under Print... and then hit Print.  If the Print now! option is working, then obviously your default printer is working, and perhaps you have a nonfunctional second printer selected under Print... option.

      Did you wait long enough for the other output?!

      Why do you think the other option is called Print NOW?
