    I have tried twice to print a manual for the F355 from the owners site without any success. Each time I print the manual the first page prints (cover) but the remaining pages all come out blank. What is the problem? I have Adobe 7.0 and all the pages appear fine on the screen. I even downloaded a different manual (different year) thinking the file may be corrupted but no luck. Any suggestions?

    Thanks.

    You may not be able to print from their CD's due to Ferrari's own copyright protection issues.

    Always best to find an independent source of this material.

    Contact them on Tuesday to see what's what.

    I did download the PDF file and saved it on my harddrive. I then opened the file and tried to print. Only the cover page prints and every other page is blank. However, all pages show up fine on the screen.

    I have a strong feeling they have intentionall blocked the print feature.

    I would also look into Adobe to see how you may be able to alter the print.

    If there is an area in particular you need I could print it and send to you.

    I"ve had a similar problem in the past. In my case, the printer I was using had a PostScript driver and a PCL5 driver. I switched from PS to PCL and it worked. Ferrari does not prohibit the printing of their manuals, so that's not the problem. I suspect it's the printer driver. See if there is a driver update, or try a different printer/computer combo. If all else fails, places like Kinkos can print things out for you - just put the pdf on a flash key and bring it in. You may also be able to upload the pdf to kinkos, and specify which store to pick it up from.
