SC899 on Ricohs

[TonerMunkeh]

Evening all,

Just a quick heads-up on this one, been getting this more often recently. Microsoft Edge is the default application to open PDF's in clean installs of Windoze and causes SC899 when certain fonts are printed. Installing Acrobat / Foxit or printing the PDF as an image is a cure.

Also stop using the POC that is Microsoft Edge and install Firefox.

Micro$oft hates printing, and anything associated with it.

They prove it time and time again.

I never thought using Edge as web browser what comes for PDFs viewer Just drop that shit and use Foxit or Acrobat readers as mentioned.

If you install Revo Uninstaller you can remove Edge from your system.

The last version of Acrobat reader that I liked was v9.1. I had to get a new laptop a few months ago when my old one refused to boot. When I tried to download 9.1 from Adobe I found out that they no longer offered it so I found Foxit. Not quite the same but still acceptable. Reading this thread I decided to make another check for Reader 9.1 and found it at Oldversions.com.

But it gets rid of annoying popups from Windows wanting you to try Edge.

Keeping ALL firmware up to date all of the time seems to take care of the SC899's.

As crazy as it may sound, this includes Java, if so equipped.

I got burned by that a few times.

Giving tips to remove Edge, which breaks the HTML rendering engine for Windows AND using an end of life version of Acrobat with known vulnerabilities?

Not a good look...

Maybe for some but Edge from its inception has caused me nothing but headaches. As for Acrobat 9.1, I have never had problems with it. I have with 10.0 and later versions.

Newer versions of Edge are really nothing but Chrome since Microsoft stopped trying to build its own browser engine and just adopted Chrome.

The original flavour of Edge was pretty rough. I'm mainly a Firefox ESR user, but for those pages that it doesn't render well Edge is my secondary browser.

Acrobat is one application that needs to be kept up to date as it is so widely used that it has a big enough target on its back for any vulnerabilities. I pay for the full version since I need to be able to create forms and edit existing documents. The subscription also gives the ability to edit PDF's on mobile devices.
