Default Publisher 2003 won't print

I have just taken over writing a newsletter which is 8 pages with LOTS of
photos and graphics. It needs to be converted to a pdf file for publishing
on our web site.
I tried using Publisher 2003 this last month and after many days of putting
the newsletter together and getting it just the way I wanted it, it totally
failed to convert!
It wouldn't print to my HP 6110 All-In-One Printer either!
My computer is a PC with XP and service packs 1, 2 and 3.
I am using Adobe 8.0.1.
What could be wrong?
I was able to copy (with much exasperation) the whole thing on to Word 2003
just to get it published on time, but I would really rather use Publisher if
it is going to be possible.
Any suggestions?

Exactly what does; "...totally failed to convert" mean?
You print to Adobe Acrobat...like a printer...is that what you tried?
What DID happen...errors?
You've mentioned an Adobe Acrobat, HP printer, Word, and a website....what
exactly are you trying to do?

I was trying to do two things.

1. Print to my HP 6110 All-In-One printer AND/OR
2. Convert the Publisher file to a pdf fileby using the buttons on the upper
left side of the publisher screen.
Neither worked.

"Neither Worked" is not a useful answer.

What program did you use to convert to a PDF?
Can you print other documents from PUB or anything?
What was the error?

Wots Your Real Problem???

Do you have problems printing other documents? Do you have gradients and/or
transparencies in your publication? Select the AdobePDF from file rather than
the button on the toolbar.
