Elements 12, Epson Artisan 1430, "Photoshop can not print this document"

I recently upgraded to Elements 12 and also got a new printer, Epson Artisan 1430. I got some great prints and then one day, it stopped working. Elements error. No error number just a message, "Photoshop can not print this document" I tried restarting the program, the printer, and the computer. No luck. Tried different graphic files; no luck. The printer works with all other programs beautifully. I cannot find help anywhere on Adobe forum. Running Windows 7

John, I deleted the printer and deleted those folders and reinstalled the printer using the printer menu. When I tried the apple software update it said my software was up to date and didn't offer an option to get updated print drivers. I tried printing again and the same thing happened.
Syd,
I am trying to print from the Macbook to the Artisan entirely over a wireless network. The Macbook has not been plugged directly into the printer or to the router at any point in this. I did try what you suggested, resetting the printing system, and as earlier it did not offer any software updates when I looked for one. I tried printing again and the same result.
I dug around some more directories and found some more files with the epson name in there and deleted those and then attempted to reinstall using the printer setup page, and then again tried a software update and again it didn't find any new drivers, and of course the same printing error occurred again.
It sure appears that the MacOS is holding onto drivers somewhere that I cannot discover because when I reinstall the printer it takes it all of 3-4 seconds to install, and when I try to do the software update it is not finding any new drivers anywhere.
Syd, I agree that there seems to be something specifically corrupted about the printer driver itself, however, but is there another way to remove drivers?
Should I try uninstalling everything and attempting a USB installation to see if prints that way?

Elements 11 - when I try to print a photo, I get this message "photoshop can not print this document"

What do I need to do when I get this message? "Photoshop can not print this document"

Those pixel dimemsions have aspect ratios that are not the same as a 5 x7 print:
1360 x 1360 = 1.0
790 x 640 = 1.23
2048 x 1366 = 1.5
An 7 x 5 image = 1.4.
So you'll need to crop the images to 5 x 7 before printing. The first two images are a little light in the pixels to produce a high resolution 5 x 7 print.
Happy Holidays

I'm getting a lot of 'Photoshop can not print this document' errors

Has anyone experienced / solved this problem? the error just reads 'Photoshop can not print this document.' with no further information. Flattening the document resolves the problem, but I would like to think that there is a better solution.
Thanks

Photoshop can not print the maximum amount of data that can be spooled to a PostScript printer is 2G

Hi all,
This is the first time I've worked with the .psb (large format) size and I have gone to print a PDF of the file and I get the message:
"photoshop can not print this document because the document is too large. The maximum amount of data that can been spooled to a PostScript printer is 2GB".
The file itself is a 2700x1570mm 300dpi flatten .psb image that is 500mb in size.
Not sure how I can get around this, where abouts do I see the image size information that is being spooled?
Any help would be great

There's no easy way to see the size of the image that's being spooled, but 2G limit is uncompressed, 4 bytes per pixel (either RGBX where X is a padding byte, or CMYK, depending on the image / printer), times about 1.6 because the image data is sent in ASCII85 format rather than binary.
With your image at over 100 inches at 300 dpi, you're also perilously close to the 32k limit on the pixels in any one dimension (31,900 by my calculations) that PostScript can handle.
The limits are 32767 pixels in either dimension, and 2GB of data total. The data that's sent at 4 bytes per pixel, and converted to ASCII85 so that it'll make it across any connection. ASCII85 gives about a 1.6 expansion factor, if I remember correctly.
Do you really need a 10 foot image printed at 300 dpi? If not, changing down to 200 dpi will probably let this image print.

[CS5] Flash can not parse this document..

I sat with my flash document open for 12 hours straight actually.. and when I closed it and opened it again I got "Flash can not parse this document".
So I googled for a solution, found that I could rename the .fla to .zip and unzip it and after 2 hours I found the XML-file that caused the problem, and I even commented out the lines in that XML-file, so I could re-zip it and rename it to .fla again and open it.
Anyway this happened again and again.. and I got frustrated.
I think I found out why this happened to me, I copied text from Photoshop into Flash CS5, and this made the document unable to open again after I closed it. It appears that the text I copied contained a "line break" or something, so I copied the text to notepad removed that character and then into flash, and this seems to have worked for.
Anyone else had this problem?

Hi,
We had another user report about this issue where an ETX character in a TLF TextField was causing Flash to corrupt the FLA on save. I will contact you privately to see if I can get your FLA file to investigate if it's the same issue.
Thanks,

Flash can not parse this document. What's up with this?

I've never seen this one before. I'm using CS5
On windows 7
I'm developing a component. I have it in the Components panel.
But I update it alot, and copy the shim to the prototype file quite often.
Every now and then I get the error that the file cannot be opened.
In the output panel is says Flash can not parse this document.
I have lost access to one of my files.
If I save as CS4 it always loads.
So now I'm saving in both formats.
I don't understand what is happening.
Is this a bug? I've checked for updates.
I have the latest build for CS5 Flash Prof

Did you use any special character like & ^ $ etc... in any of the components field? Flash CS4 was more lenient with special character compare to Flash CS5. One way to fix CS5 files is to change .fla extension to .zip. Unzip the file, go through the DOMDocument.xml file or xml file inside LIBRARY folder and remove the special character. After that double click the fla file you see inside the zip folder and Resave this file in Flash.

Flash can not parse this document

I have just had a Flash CS5 file corrupt on me. It comes up with this error message: 'Flash can not parse this document'. This is the second time this has happened to one of my Flash CS5 files. My colleagues have had problems with their files too and we bought a bit of software called 'Sothink SWF decompiler'. This has been a useful way of getting Flash files back from swf's however this has not worked with my file today. It doesn't work perfectly with other files anyway as it looses all of the library names and layer names, a big problem with a complex file.
So my questions are
1. can you help me get my file back?
2. I don't recall having any problems with SC3 so what has happened in these later version to cause this dreadful problem? One of my colleaguse has had 40% of her files corrupt sinse using CS5.
3. Then can you tell me whether this problem, that has exsisted in Flash since CS4, will be fixed in CS6 as we will be upgrading when it becomes available?
4. When is Flash CS6 going to become available?
Many thanks

You're all very unlucky to get this problem. I don't know why you guys got the error when transitioning from Flash CS4 to CS5. My transition went perfectly fine, and the game I was developing went through perfectly clean.
Sorry about your problems

P.S. By the way, that file that was mentioned "textLayout_1.0.0.595.swz", is created whenever you put in TLF text that is edited at runtime via ActionScript and use Runtime Shared Library (RSL) preloading. Did you leave all your text boxes be, or convert them all to TLF?
P.P.S.S. I was very lucky that I didn't lose my project when I transitioned, as my current game is actually due in around a week. Hoepfully none of your projects that you lost are due in a week.
P.P.P.S.S.S. Imagine if this happened to Alan Becker while he was working on Animator vs. Animation II (it took him five months).
P.P.P.P.S.S.S.S. I feel especially sorry for the guy who spent three months on his online multiplayer real-time game. Must be a real shame to lose all your work after all those late nights and sore backs...
P.P.P.P.P.S.S.S.S.S. If you don't know what Animator vs. Animation is, you should watch the animations. You can find them on YouTube - just look up "Animator vs. Animation" and "Animator vs. Animation 2".

Flash can not parse this document. - Tried everything: Searching online, Calling Adobe, Online Help

I have tried everything in fixing this problem. I have searched online with no help. And Google does not fix everything.
I have tried calling the phone number on the help site numerous times only to be uselessly helped once. I was on hold for a long time with each one only to be unsuccessful in fixing my problem.
I tried submitting the form on the page when you sign in and 3 times so far I was told to go to this extremely unhelpful devnet, which was all the phone support told me to do which was no help, and they closed all of the support requests.
Does anyone know how to fix these errors:
Flash can not parse this document.
An error occurred opening file '.fla'
Failed to open document..fla.
I have converted it to a zip and went through all the files and did not see any error. The only one I did was MobileSettings.xml, which is blank and a new CS5 made file is blank and gives the error as well.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

you may have a corrupt fla. try creating a new directory that has no subdirectories. move that fla to the new directory. try and open the fla from the new directory. if it fails, you have a corrupt fla and, in that situation, i believe the best you can do is to take your last working swf and decompile it to create a working fla.

Reproducible Error: Flash can not parse this document.

I have a reproducible error: I am being forced to fix corrupted flash files that give the "Flash can not parse this document" error. But shortly after I fix the problem, the files are re-corrupted.
Here is how the problem is reproduced: when I update a custom component that is used in other symbols in the library. When a new version of a custom component symbol added to the library, replacing an older version, the symbols that contained the old symbol are corrupted in the XML. This is tedious and time consuming to work around.
Is there a way to avoid the problem?
Has this BUG been reported in this context before?
How do I report this problem?

Constant Problem: "Flash can not parse this document"

Hi all,
I have been having an issue with Flash cs5 over the last two weeks. I've tried the few "fixes" that are offered on some of the forums. Zipping the file up and taking apart the xml files, with no helpful results.
Anyone have any ideas or solutions?
I am losing lots of work at random times on many different files.
I uusally get only this error message:
Flash can not parse this document.
But today I got this longer one:

Flash CS5 error: Flash can not parse this document

The amount of times Flash CS has crashed on me and ive lost documents is unbelievable now. Yesterday i closed down Flash CS5 normally (no crash or anything) and today i load my file back up and it says in the output "Flash can not parse this document" with an error saying an error occurred opening file bla bla. I had a backup of the file too ALSO that does not work with the same problem. The last time this happened to me i was told it was because i had a document on the network so ive been working locally on my drive ever since and this problem arises again.
The project i was working on was important and i want a solution to this problem please.

Hi guswebb,
We are currently looking into these issues. Can you please send the file with the bad UIScrollBar.xml to me at [email protected]? Please zip your file and change .zip extension to .zzz before attaching to email.

Flash can not parse this document. - CS5 Issue

I've been working on a project for a couple days now and some were along the line the project file became corrupted. I read this posting: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2812314#2812314 but the problem does not seem to be because of an empty frame.
The error is the same and says:
Failed to open document. Name and location of document.
Flash can not parse this document.
I was able to go back a few versions and start over but the same thing happened 2 times after this. I've even done some version control but when it gets corrupted there is no way to tell unless I close the file and reopen it. But then its usually too late.
This last time it happened I was saving it out as a different name and reopened it when I noticed the error. Luckly I still had the original version opened. I knew if I closed it I would've lost hours of work so instead I opened a new document and copied over all my library assets, saved, closed and reopened and it worked fine. I don't think this has anything to do with an empty frame on a movie clip because I checked all library assets and the new empty file I created worked fine.
The only thing I can say that is different with this project and the previous projects that I have worked on (just trying to give ideas of what it could be) is that I am using FlashEff and some of my text are TLF Text which I have never used those before and I've never encountered this before.
Thanks,
Zef

Is anyone else having this issue or figured out how to solve it? Its really bad to have to keep saving the file out every 10 minutes and testing to see if it will crash when I go to open it.

Flash can not parse this document CS5

I am working with one of my students that is creating an animation in Flash CS5 he has only worked in Flash CS5 not any other version he saved one day and when he returned the next to work on his file he can not open his file and keeps receiving the error message that "Flash can not parse this document." Is there anyway to save his work or is it gone? There is not a CS4 version to work with this file only CS5

HP P6-2016 and Epson 2540 series printer. Can not print from documents file

I am using an Epson series 2540 printer with my HP P6-2016 running Windows 7. I was trying to print a form I had
filled out on line. When I click "print" I seemed to be in Fax mode. I have never used this printer to Fax anything
and have no idea how this occurred. I am now unable to print anything from my documents file or to copy anything
using my printer. I can still print pictures from my pictures file. Any ideas?

Hello @Ongton,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand that your Epson series 2540 printer is not quite functioning correctly with your HP Pavilion p6-2016 Desktop PC running Windows 7. As you are able to print photos from the computer to the printer it means that the pathways from the computer's operating system are functioning correctly and this is an issue with either the driver or the configuration of the Epson printer. I would advise you to post your issue on the Epson Support Site as they will know their drivers and configuration requirements better than we would.
I hope I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

What causes the "Can not index this document as its modified version is open in Acrobat" index error

(when building a full-text index with Acrobat Catalog, and when the PDF document referenced after each of these error messages in the catalog building log file is not open in neither Acrobat Standard nor in Acrobat Reader)

If you print to the Adobe PDF printer you are creating a PS file that is then automatically loaded into Distiller for conversion to PDF. Printing to a different PS file should not make a difference, unless the PS driver is substantially different. You can also print to file with the Aodbe PDF printer and then convert with Distiller (eliminating the automatic Distiller step). If you are printing to a network location, that may be the issue. Acrobat has long had problems with some network connections. To check this out, you might print locally and then move the file to the network drive.
In terms of posting a file, you have to put it on a separate server and then post the link.
