Unable to print a document from my laptop.

I have a HP laptop and am running Windows 7. I have printed off this laptop many times in the past. Occasionally we have had problems with communication but it has been easily resolved. This week however, I can print from my desktop, my phone but not the laptop. I have the HP Print and Scan doctor software and run all the updates, IP etc. Still when I try to print a document, up comes "Unable To Communicate" window. What is so odd about this and has a lot of us baffled, is that I can open up the HP Deskjet 3250 series software and ask it to print an alignment page or diagnostic page and it will print from the kitchen, on the laptop and in color.Please advise me, on how I can cure this problem. It shows I have all the updates.Thank you in advance.

Tried the Uninstaller and reinstall today and I can still print diagnostic sheets but no documents. Gave up after a couple of hours.What software are you using to send to the printer? This seems more of a issue with whatever software your using that doesn't recognize the printer is now installed. Did you check your program that is printing the Document to see if it had the right printer selected? Cause if there was a problem you woudn't be able to do the test print.

Unable to print PDF documents from HP Photosmart C5250

Has any else experienced this? I'm using Vista, have an HP Photosmart C5250 printer. Until a few weeks ago, I had no printer issues. Now, I can print all documents other than PDF files. Thinking the problem was reated when I downloaded Adobe Reader 9.3.4, I uninstalled that version, reinstalled Adobe Reader 8.2.0 and Adobe Flash Player ActiveX. However, it didn't resolve the problem. HP support says my printer drive is up to date. Any ideas for me?

Do you have Acrobat and Reader? This is the Acrobat forum. If so, when you uninstalled Reader without re-installing Acrobat you may have damaged something. If you don't have Acrobat then you are in the wrong forum. Your best bet might be to uninstall your printer driver and the re-install your printer driver.

After installing update 11.0.07, I have been unable to print pdf douments from websites displayed in I.E. 11

I just installed 11.0.07 and since then have been unable to print pdf documents from websites displayed in I.E. 11 (32 bit). The problem did not exist until I installed the update. Opening the same sites with Chrome solves the problem, but some of the important sites I use, (FAA WebOPPS for instance) don't work with Chrome or anything other than I.E. for that matter. Does anyone know if Adobe is aware of the bug and working on a fix?

Let me put it in context.I am a developer, and in my work we create a flex application a few years ago and we are providing support to this application. Since 2 days ago th button we create in our application for View PDF just stopped working. We use this code:
public function navigate( url:String ):void
navigateToURL( new URLRequest( url ), OPEN_NEW_WINDOW );
It is very simplistic and worked fine as I told you, until Tuesday this week. Please tell me what happened, it seems the last plugin version crashes somewhere and my button just does not work any more.
Thank you.

PDF: Unable to print a document as PDF from APEX when using the BI Publishe

Hi,
From an APEX application, I am unable to print a document in a PDF format when using the Oracle BI Publisher.\
Here is the configuration:
1) Server A is W2K3 and hosts the Oracle BI Publisher server, with IP address ip01.
2) Server B is a OEL5.2 and hosts the database server of the APEX application, with IP address ip02.
3) Machine C is a W7 desktop from which through an URL both the APEX applicationn and the BI server are accessed, with IP address ip03.
4) The APEX application is configured with the following to use the Oracle BI Publisher:
- Printer server: Advanced (requires Oracle BI Publisher)
- Printer server protocol: HTTP
- Printer server host address: ip01
- Printer server port: 9704
- Printer server script: /xmlpserver/convert
- Network services are enabled (at least I did get any warning/error message)
From C, I access the the APEX application through its URL, if I try to download a page by selecting PDF in the download section of the interative report section for that page, I am unable to open if and get the error:
<file>. pdf file can not be opened because the file type is not supported or because it is damaged (because, for example as an e-mail attachment is not sent and correctly decoded)
Yet, still from C, I am able to open any other PDF document.
The same way, still from C, acessing the APEX application through its URL, I have a query report defined with a PDF output format. Then, when I test the report (Test Report in the Report query) for that query, I get the error:
ORA-20001: The printing engine could not be reached because either the URL specified is incorrect or a proxy URL needs to be specified.
At first sight this could be a wong entry in the priinter configuration for APEX. But with this address, through the URL I can log in to the Oracle BI Publisher server.
Does someone has an idea what the problem could be?
Thanks for any tips.

How are you trying to print to pdf?
Don't go via PostScript or Acrobat Distiller, which are old deprecated technology.
You use:
Menu > File > Print > PDF (button bottom left) > Save as PDF…

How do I print a document from my win 8.1 computer via my home network thru my win 7 computer?

I am trying to print a document from my win 8.1 computer via my home network thru my win 7 computer which has the Deskjet 3054A All-in-one printer connected to it. I can see the printer from my win 8.1 computer and when I send a print command I see the document in the printer que but it does not print. I have not installed the printer drivers on my win 8.1 computer. Do I need to do this?

Hi GeneLund,
I understand you have a Deskjet 3054A printer and are currently unable to print to it from your Windows 8.1 computer. I will certainly do my best to assist you with this.
I just need to ask a few questions to start.
1. Is your printer setup to print wirelessly from your Windows 7 computer?
2. Are you able to print successfully from the Windows 7 computer?
You definitely want to install the drivers for your Deskjet onto your Windows 8.1 computer, and you can do so by going to HP's website (just click the blue Next button and then download the option under Driver - Product Installation Software) and downloading the drivers. If you're printer is on the wireless network you should have no issues, if it's not on the network yet though that needs to be done first and it is done through the software.
Hope this helps, have a great day!

Unable to print to pdf from a pdf

We're having a issue where we're unable to print to pdf from a pdf with acrobat 9 std, so far a 64bit machine. We get the following errors
"the document could not be printed"
"there were no pages selected to print"
We see the issue with all pdfs. Acrobat 7 std works fine, as does printing to pdf from other applications with 9 std. So far it only effects acrobat 9 std. We've repaired the installation and updated to the latest. We do have however only see this with one machine, but we haven't looked past this one machine yet...Any ideas?
thanks all,

XP pro 64bit. Just updated to 9.3.3, still have the error being thrown.
The user fills in a form from our intranet and then prints it with the adobe printer creating the illusion that its write protected. I'm not one to stop them, given the forms are low value and all. Possibly if the process is uncomplicated (that's key here) then saving the document to the desktop and making the change and write protecting it there before transmittal might be an alternative, as long as it doesn't rely on passwords and keys...
Sorry I'm an adobe noob.
thanks,

I'm unable to print pdf files from certain web sites. I have just changed to Mavericks

i'm unable to print pdf file from certain web site. I just changed over to Mavericks.

You will need to access that PDF on your computer first, before you can print it — unless that PDF is corrupted, which occasionally happens. Your printer needs to be configured and working.
Default PDF web-browser plug-in in Safari, latest (Firefox/Chrome) also built-in.
Click on the remote PDF link to open in browser
On Mavericks, you will need to click through security challenges for the PDF
File menu > Print
Right-click on remote PDF file and then choose Download Linked File As...Open that file in /Applications/Preview.appFile > print
Adobe Reader 11.0.04 PDF plug-in
Same security challenges on Mavericks as first bullet
With PDF imaged in browser, either select print icon from the plug-in toolbar, or mouse over the bottom one inch of displayed document and you will see a printer icon in the popup toolbar. Use that.

How do I get rid of the Microsoft Setup Assistant loop? I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word, and stuck in a loop?

I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word (for 2008), and stuck in a loop?
Whenever I select Word Microsoft Setup Assistant appears, asks for feedback, then after selecting okay (both on saying yes or no to feedback) goes on to a registration page. When I click on this it says I've already registered so I just click okay, and then move on to a update page. After this, if I click on Word, the process repeats itself.
As I said, I don't have the disk to reinstall, and can't find the Office Settings to delete as many pages have suggested I should try. Safe Boot restarting also hasn't worked... Really stuck and need Word very soon for work.
If you can help, that would be great, and feel free to ask any questions about the situation as I'm not an expert here.
Cheers,
Jack

First, export your contact from iCloud.com and save them on your computer in a safe spot some where (like you desktop). Use this to help you do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606
Next, on both of your devices, go to Settings > iCloud and turn on contacts and select Merge. Then turn off contacts and select 'Delete form my [device]' when prompted.
Now go back to iCloud.com and select a contact (yes they will all be messed up again) and select Command+A on a Mac or Control+A on a PC to select all of the contacts. Tap the delete key on your keyboard (or right click /control click a contact and select delete).
You iPhone, iPad and iCloud.com should not be empty for contacts.
Go back to Settings > iCloud on both devices and turn on contacts again (you should not see merge this time).
Next, go back to iCloud.com and import your contacts (those exported .vcards). You can either drag and drop them into the empty contacts list in your web browser, or you can use the gear icon to import.
You cleaned up contacts should import correctly into iCloud.com and sync to both of your devices.
Good luck.

I am unable to print color photos from i photo using a Brother Printer

I am unable to print color photos from i photo using a Brother MFC-6490CW all in one. The photos appear to be in grayscale. I have checked the printer settings, but for some reason I am not able to access the color management on my printer from printer set up. It only gives me the standard option. I have spent hours checking Bother's website and Apple's and I am not able to come up with a valid answer. I know that the color print works. If I print something from the internet of from outlook it will print in color. I know all of my cartridges are in working order, I have cleaned the print head on my Brother, but I am still not able to print photos in color!!!
What puzzles me the most is why I am unable to really access the color management menu on my printer? It just does not come up. I have the option from paper handling to print photos, but this has nothing to do with the quality. I have also tried printing the photo from an Adobe PDF file and I still have the same problem. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thank you.

In the Print dialogue box click on the little triangle to the right of the name of the printer. That will expand the dialogue box.

1. Buy a AirPrint enabled printer; see list below

2. Run the CD provided and setup as network printer; this will setup your printer to the same network as your iPad

3. Start printing from your iPad without wire

I am unable to print a pdf from a website through Adobe Reader on my mac. It keeps telling me that no pages have been selected - I have uploaded the latest version of Adobe with no luck and have never had this issue before !

Hi bengaunt ,
Thank you for posting on the Adobe forums, you can try printing as an image.
Open the file>Print>advanced>check the box "print as an image" OK
Thanks,

Firefox is crahsing whenever I try to print a document from web or email. I run Window XP and firefox version is 3.6.12

this has happened and reported 22 times since jan 2010. It may have probably started since I updated firefox in Jan 2010. The printer is a Canon LBP180 which prints all documents from any other software.

Looks like a problem with CAPRENN.DLL. <br />

See if you have the latest Cannon print drivers installed.

How to script to Print a document from SAP Business One SDK

I have created a project using UDO, Form and User table using B1DE2005.
I wonder how can i program to print a document from my screen. something like Sales Order, where user can click on Print Preview button and it will print the sales order confirmation preview..
KC

Where do you want to execute this print/print preview? Inside Sales Order?
If that is the case use the print event, now if you have your own form and is separate of any of the SAP B1 system forms, then you will have to use the menu event and evaluate when they have press the print button (which you also probably will have to make sure that is active).

Why can't I print a document from iphone5 to hp wireless printer?

Why can't I print a document from iphone5 to hp wireless printer?

Try the following steps.
Power off the printer.
Reset the phone by holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot.
Power cycle your router. Disconnect it from power for about 30 seconds and then power it back on.
Once it has completed the reboot, then power the printer back on and make sure it connects to the wi-fi network
Open the content on the phone that you want to print and attempt printing it again.
If that does not do it, then check to see if there is any newer firmware for the printer from HP.
