If like me, you are using a USB thumb drive to print because your Dell Printer ( i have a Dell C1765nfw Color MFP ) will not print from your Dell Computer ( I have a Dell Optiplex 980 ), be assured that you are not alone. I've spent hours and full workdays online with Dell trying to get it to work, but it does not. It would have been much cheaper for my company to have purchased a different brand computer and printer that worked together. Finally I have given up and decided to try to print by thumb drive, and like you I discovered that only jpg files print from the usb drive, not pdf. So... take your camera, take a picture of your document, then get that picture on a thumb drive, then you can print it! (or... just buy a different brand computer and printer and never ever ever use Dell again unless you want to spend your career trying to get their printers to print, they don't)
