Printing PDF's

Problem printing PDF's with Snow Leopard,: 10.5.8. Whenever any one sends me a pdf or if I find a pdf to print I have to save it to my desktop and then open it in Preview in order to print to my HP 5000. I had no problems with earlier versions of OSX, or my G4 with OSX. I used to just go to print and it would happen without the save and open in Preview routine.
Any ideas what is going on?

Firstly, 10.5.8 is Leopard, not Snow Leopard.

Now, where were you printing these PDFs from?
Apple Mail?

I guess Apple Mail? I have Earthlink email. Any PDF has to go to the desk top then Preview before I can print it. I just tried to get some pdf forms from an insurance company through Safari?Google. Can't print directly like I used to do with older OSX versions. So it doesn't seem to matter I am getting the pdf's, they all have to go through Preview. I have the latest Adobe Reader; that didn't make any difference. When I asked an Apple person at the store, they get all orgasmic over Preview, but have no answer to the problem!

Hover over the link (in Safari or Firefox), click on the image, and select print in the file menu.



Is this not want you mean?
