he can print a test page but he can't print a pdf file.
Any idea why not?

To do a test print, he'd presumably be looking under
Settings/devices/printers at the officejet?

More like Devices and Printers, Printer Properties for his printer,
Print Test Page.

However if a different printer was set as the default, he might not
realise where the pdf prints were going to ...

No, I was doing the printing and I checked each time which printer it
was going to.

He only has one real printer. There are those 3 thingst come with
windows, Microsoft Print to PDF, Microsoft XPS Document WRiter, and Fax,
but I printed 4 times using only the actual printer.

If none of the 4 attempts resulted in a print, you may want to check
that the password and log-in for the printer is set correctly.

I doubt if he has a password. I've printed things via Teamviewer before
and I don't think he had one, and I dont' think he needs one. If that
were the problem, shouldn't I get an error message? I get nothing
back.
