There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents.

I've never had this problem before. It only affects Photoshop CS6 and CS5 that I have installed. I'm running MAC OS 10.9.5
I have three printers and HP and two Epsons, and I get this dialogue when trying to print from Photoshop CS6 or CS5.
There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents.
Other applications print fine on all three printers.  I tried deleting the Photoshop Prefs numerous times without results.
Does anyone have an answer for this?
Thanks.

Have you printed to this printer from 10.10 before?  If so, check your connections.

  • Can no longer print from Photoshop CS^ have upgraded drivers error message reads There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents."

    I have upgraded my iMac to Yosemite but now my two Canon Printers no longer print from Photoshop CS6. I have upgraded the drivers. All other applications including Lightroom are fine. I am receiving an error message as follows:"There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents." How can I get the OS to return a list of printers to Photoshop when Photoshop requests a list.

  • There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents. Error message in PhotoShop CC

    Printing from PS CC worked fine today. I made no changes to preferences. In between working with 2 projects, the first one printed fine, the second gave me this Error Message.
    There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents.
    Now I've checked for updates for my printer, reset my printer, reset PS CC preferences, picked my printer as Default and Last Used, and rebooted. I've followed all the recommended fixes for this issue I could find here and on the internet. I can print fine from any other program. Alas, the error message keeps popping up and I can't print.

    PROBLEM: Cannot print from Photoshop
    After restart error message appears:
    — “There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents.”
    • All print commands are greyed out and unavailable — even to call up the printer commands cannot be done.
    The printer printed fine until about 2 weeks ago when this error message appeared.  Printing continues from Pages, I-photo, preview etc. —  only Photoshop fails.
    The printer has been turned on and off, as have open documents been closed and open etc..   Preferences reset.  Repeatedly I have read through blogs and forums and attempted to contact Adobe — all without results
    Epson support struggled to find reason and several solutions were tried and they assume this is an Adobe problem.

    Using Photoshop CS6 and after printing approx. 10 cards on an Epson R3000 printer the program gives me a dialog box saying "There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents."  Even after closing and reopening the program, the print command is greyed out so I cannot select any printer. This also happens with a Brother laser printer. Both printers will produce a test page out side of the Adobe product. Help!

    I cannot get any help either.  I get the message "There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents."  I have reinstalled all drivers, powered off/on all printers (2 of them - a Brother HL - 4040cn and an Epson Stylus Pro 7890 - which all worked fine until this morning).  There appears to be no path to a solution.  I have read all the forums and tried about 20 different suggestions all to no avail.  Reboots, changing cables, reinstalling printers and drivers and Photoshop CS6 - ALL TO NO AVAIL.  On a macbook pro retina with 10.10.3.  This issue is out there and some get solutions - but not all - that's my crowd...the not all crowd.  I have yet to be able to print from CS6 any more.  This is a show stopper and my patience is wearing thin.  And I'm tired of stupid questions like "is your printer powered on?" give me a break.  This appears to be an adobe photoshop cs6 problem - as I can print from every other application.  Anyone have any ideas?  Adobe should have something?...

    Your printer driver is having problems.
    Resetting Photoshop's preferences sometimes clears it up (by removing previous print settings that the driver is supposed to read, but sometimes fails at).
    Otherwise you'll have to work with Canon to figure out why the driver is misbehaving.

    Have you tried the Library First Aid?
    Locate your Aperture Library on the Desktop  and hold down the option and command keys -and while holding down the keys double click the library file.  The "first aid" wil give you options to repair the permissions, repair the library, or to rebuild the library. Try the options in this order and post back, if tis should not fix the problem.

  • There was an error opening this document. Access denied.

    Greetings,
    When I did my taxes last year (March 2012), I downloaded some pdf files from the IRS.  Form 1040 was a writable file and I filled it out as needed.  This file was saved on a Vista machine running XP.  A few months ago, I upgraded that pc to be Windows 7 SP1.
    Today I'm getting ready to do my taxes for this year.  When I double click on last year's Form1040.pdf, I get the following error message:
    There was an error opening this document.  Access denied.
    Interestingly, I can open other pdf files, like the Form 1040 Instructions.  I do not think that I password protected my Form1040.pdf.  The reason that I think it isn't password protected is because I'm not being prompted to enter a password.
    I copied the file to an old spare XP machine (XP Home, version 2002, SP3) that I have and it opened fine.  It did not prompt for a password.  I printed copies of last year's forms from that XP machine, so this isn't an emergency for me, but it is mildly annoying that I can't figure out what's wrong.
    I have Adobe Reader XI version 11.0.2 installed on both machines (the Windows 7 machine and the old XP machine).
    To summarize, it was created on Vista, I can't open it with Windows 7, but I can open it with XP.
    Normally I would consider uploading the file in question, but in this case, I hope you'll agree that might be a bad idea!
    Advice on how to get this to work on Windows 7 would be appreciated.

    Pat Willener:  Thanks!  That solved the problem.
    For anyone else having this problem, here's a detailed list of how I used Pat's advice to solve my problem:
    1.  Right click on the problematic file
    2.  Select Properties
    3.  Select the Security tab
    4.  Press continue
    5.  In the "Permissions for MyFile.pdf" dialog, press "Add".
    6.  In the "Select Users or Groups" dialog, press "Advanced".
    7.  The next dialog that pops up is also named "Select Users or Groups".  Press "Find Now".
    8.  Scroll down the list of search results until you find your username.
    9.  Double click on your username.
    10. Press ok in the "Select Users or Groups" dialog.
    11.  Press ok in the "Permissions for MyFile.pdf" dialog
    12. Press ok in the Properties dialog.
    done.

  • SSRS PDF Export. There was an error opening this document. This file is damaged and could not be repaired

    Hello,
    I just experienced this problem, and was able to successfully mitigate.  I wanted to share my experience and Solution. 
    The problem started with the following error after succesfully exporting a PDF Document.  "There was an error opening this document. This file is damaged and could not be repaired."
    This is only applicable if you can still export and open SSRS Reports to other formats. Go to the Log files of the SQL Instance. In my particular case I used the Default MSSQL instance:   C:\ Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10_50.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting
    Services\LogFiles  
    The Folder will begin with MSRS (SRS is for SQL Reporting Services)
    Sort the files by date modified and check for the most recent log file: ex.  SQLDmpr0000.log  The 0000 will be the incremental amount of errors you have experienced in SRS. Check for the following error:
    "System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'T2Embed': Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))"
    Below is a sample from the log.

    If you notice the error states that T2Embed.dll access is denied. In my case this due to a hotfix installed by Microsoft: 
     MS11-087: Vulnerability in Windows kernel-mode drivers could allow remote code execution: December 13, 2011
    Be advised, in order to fix your problem and render pdf's, a vulnerability shall be created.
     To fix this issue and allow the export to PDF work correctly, you must give the system Read/Execute Permissions, and Built-in\Administrators Full Control. 
    Go to Windows\System32 and find the T2Embed.dll Go to Security and modify the permissions as listed above. Do the same to the T2Embed.dll in the SysWow64 folder.
    Restart Reporting Services and you will be able to export to PDF. 
    Best Wishes!

    I'm not convinced this is the exact cause of the issue.  I will check my log files to see if I find anything like what you described.  However, I get this error when a particular user tries to do a "print preview" from a custom button.  The
    code builds a ReportViewer object, sets the ReportPath, etc.
    The reason I'm not convinced is because we have a separate reports page that has the report viewer embedded into it.  If the user generates the report that way and exports to PDF, Word, etc...the user can generate the file and be on their way.  As
    soon as the user clicks our "Print" button on the page without the ReportViewer embedded, the above mentioned error occurs.  
    UPDATE: Perhaps we have a different problem since my issue is from a custom button.  I found the solution
    here and confirmed the solution with the customer.  It had to do with the code using Response.Flush() instead of Response.End().
    One thing I noticed before I implemented the change: When you would close the PDF, it would ask you to save changes to the PDF.  After implementing Response.End() instead, that prompt went away.  No doubt it has to do with the differences between
    how Response.Flush() and Response.End() handle the stream returned.
    Anyway, posting in case someone has the same issue.

  • There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired. Error mess

    Hello, I am hoping someone can help me. I have an invoicing program that allows me to send an invoice as a PDF to a customer in an email. It always worked fine but for some reason anyone that gets the PDF email attachment gets the message " There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired". I don't know why this is suddenly happening. I downloaded the latest Adobe Reader 10.1 and that didn't help. I also downloaded the trial version of Adobe Acrobat X and that doesn't help either. I can open all PDFs on my drive but for some reason my program seems to have a problem converting or writing the invoice file to a PDF. Anybody able to help? Thank you very much!

    Hi Bill,
    Thanks for your response, I'll try and answer your questions as best a possible. I am not printing to anything, just emailing and I'm not sure what you mean by "the adobe PDF printer". I originally could not find for sure what acrobat I was using although there is a file in my C drive with acrobat 5.0. When I tried downloading an update I found for that version, it told me it couldnt download the update because the original is not there. I then downloaded the new trial version of acrobat X in the hopes that may work, but it did not change the issue. I believe my invoicing program uses some internal PDF program inbeded in the invoicing program for the emailing option it provides. I did send the email to myself and it is the same as I send to anyone else, it has that error message. The others in my office can open the invoicing program and email the PDF perfectly fine to themselves and to me, it's only when my computer tries to send the invoice through email that we have the problem. I can view the file (invoice) perfectly fine. I do not not how to check this encoding you are referring to. Do these details help you, to help me?? Thank you again for your help.
