Unable to print after adobe update

Program says "printer must be installed before printing pdf" but printer is installed, updatd and working properly with other programs.  I did a system restore (windows XP) and was able to print pef but as soon as update re-installed I was unable to print.  Obvious solution is to system retore again and NOT update adobe but is there a better fix?

Hi,
I found that Adobe has released an update to Acrobat 9.4.2 for the Print Issue in the form of an EXE. I applied the fix on my system, and it seems to have fixed it.
You can download the EXE from:

For more information on the same, please refer:

  • Users are unable to print from Adobe Reader X

    Hi,
    Multiple users in our environment report that they are unable to print from Adobe Reader X. They receive the following error messages (translated from Dutch) Document cannot be printed. There are no pages selected.
    We are using Reader version 10.1.3
    What we have tried to resolve the issue (without any positive results):
    - Repair the installation of Adobe Reader.
    - Update Adobe Reader to the latest version for Vista (x86) (10.1.7)
    - Created new user profile for the affected users.
    The documents can be printed without any errors from Foxit Reader.
    At the moment we use the following workaround:
    Open the document in Internet Explorer, and then print the document from there.
    Does anyone have any idea how we can resolve this?
    Best regards,
    Duncan

    James,
    I'm sorry to hear that you were having the same problem under 9.5.  I had recently updated to Adobe Reader 10 under Windows 7 and yesterday my "default printer" simply disappeared from the options on my control panel.  I re-installed my printer, but today whenever I would open a PDF document and try to print it, the document would simply close with no further ado.  After a bit of trial and error, I ended up uninstalling Adobe Reader 10 and going back to Adobe Reader 9.5.  Now everything is working just fine.

  • Unable to print to pdf after adobe update

    Hi All,
    After an adobe acrobat last week, I am unable to print word documents as pdf. I get the following error message:

    Please select "Print directly to the printer" option (from adobe PDF printer properties "Advanced" tab).

    I have a similar problem. I have adobe 9.0 pro and word 2007. Everything was fine until a couple of days ago. Now when I try to create a pdf, it doesn't work. When I try to print to pdf I get the following error
    Adobe PDF Settings file read error in :
    C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings\Standard.joboptions
    I have tried repairing the program, recovery to an earlier date, updating, removing and reinstalling both adobe and word 2007 and still get the same error. Anyone have an idea what I should do next. I have gone into the add-ins and adobe is enabled.
    Thanks, I hope someone has an idea.

  • Unable to Print After Installing Adobe Acrobat Reader Upgrades.

    . What software version of Abobe Acrobat Reader should be used for an HP PhotoSmart Plus printer? I currently have Adobe version  9.3 installed. I receive pop-up notices to install new Adobe Acrobat Reader software upgrades. I have installed the software upgrades and then my HP PhotoSmart Plus printer was unoperational. I deleted the Adobe software upgrades and my HP PhotoSmart Plus printer began to operate. I contacted HP technical support and was told there is no compatibility issues between Adobe Acrobat Reader and HP All-in-One Products. It might be a problem with the specific Adobe software upgrades. HP requested that I contact Adobe support for problem resolution. Has this problem ever happened to you? Any problem resolutions would be appreciated.

  • Unable to print after updating to yosamite

    Like so many I have the same issue after updating to Yosemite. I have tried deleting the printer, updating drivers, resetting the printers, restarting the Macbook Air but all to no avail.  Printer is an HP Laserjet 3055 and has worked fine up until now.  Come on Apple, this is really frustrating!

  • HP LaserJet 1018 no longer prints after security update

    After installing the following updates on my HP Pavilion dv71023cl running Windows Vista:
    Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 9 for Windows Vista for x64-based Systems (KB2817183)
    Installation date: ‎4/‎12/‎2013 4:06 PM

    Installation date: ‎4/‎21/‎2013 2:01 PM
    Installation status: Successful
    Update type: Optional

    Help and Support:
    http://support.microsoft.com/select/?target=hub
    It appears I can no longer print from Internet Explorer 9.
    Clicking on gear icon and selecting the Print item, shows the Microsoft XPS Document Writer is highlighted instead of the HP Laserjet 1018 as I expect. When I select the HP Laserjet 1018, the Print Button becomes grayed-out.
    Attemping to print from Adobe Reader X also hangs the application.
    However, printing is working when using Open Office.
    I cannot recall if I attempted to print between the time these 2 updates were installed, so cannot determine which is the cause of the problem.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Sounds like you've run into some printer issues since your most recent update. First I wold recommend removing the software and then going to the HP website and re installing the software from the direct driver downloads. 
    First if you use a USB cord, make sure to remove it (this is important). Do not plug it back in until the software directs you to. Then go through the Devices and Printers, Programs and Features and Device Manager folders and insure that all copies, files, and programs related to the printer are removed. Then as directed, restart the computer. 
    In the START menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Here I want you to press Ctrl+A and hit DELETE. Some of the files will not allow you to delete them, skip those files and delete the majority that allows it. 
    Download this file, and if optional use the Full-feature software. 
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=1814094
    If that does not work I would try the PL6 drivers :

    Install that and let me know the result!

  • Unable to print in adobe reader x

    I have windows xp and i recently updated to adobe reader x and now am unable to print. i have tried to print 'as an image' but I don't see a option for that on my printer ( I have a HP Deskjet D1420). I also tried uninstalling this version and putting an older version back on my comptuer but it downloaded this one again. I have many things I need to print, and I have no solutions. This is very frustrating and I'm disappointed that you would release something without the print function!! Please help.

    I have the same problem.  Upgraded to Adobe Reader X v10.0.1 and now I cant print to my HP Laserjet 2600n over a network connection.  Haven't tried a direct USB connection.  Strange, because Adobe Reader can print to my other laser and inkjet printers, and other applications can print to the color laserjet in question.  I am going to try to go back to a previous version of Adobe Reader until this problem gets ironed out.  Hope it works.  If anyone is looking for a previous version, you can download v9 from Adobe's website at

  • Can't Print after Software Update

    After completing an Apple software update which included Epson printer software update 2.7 I am unable to print. I get an error message; Error:/Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2Filter/rastertoescpll.app/Contents/ MacOS/rasertoescpll failed. Can you please assist? Printer is Epson RX 650

    I had this problem with the RX640; it seems to affect a lot of Espon printers going back a long time, not just the latest update. Apparently some resourceful person out there says it is due to trying to print a pdf generated from word and various other programs and getting rid of this many-headed beast of a problem can be quite tricky.
    I first followed this http://kb.epson-europe.com/display/4n/kb/article.aspx?aid=3744&searchstring=&n=& tab=search&bt=4n&s= epson knowledge base article's instructions but had no joy. I then reinstalled Rosetta off my Snow Leopard install disk (which as an aside involved fixing my broken dvd drive!) and again had no joy, even after wiping the print settings, running the gutenprint uninstaller, deleting the drivers and trying to install the printer again using software updater. It seems like Epson software update 2.7 http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1398 on the Apple website does not work properly for selected Epson printers.
    To the solution. I downloaded and installed the previous Epson software update http://support.apple.com/kb/DL900 from the apple website and this finally did the trick. This is a beast of a file at 850MB compressed, containing drivers for ALL of Epson's printers so it does eat up some drive space. However as my printer is working again, I don't care!
    FYI I have read various solutions that were successful for various people. I am not certain if the last step alone would have been sufficient to get my printer working or if the previous Epson KB steps and Rosetta reinstall played a part. I hope this issue is resolved in Lion in a few weeks time altho given Epson's past history, I'm not very confident.....

  • Unable to Print with Adobe Reader 9

    I just installed the free Adobe Reader 9. After opening a PDF document and attempted to print, I received an alert from Adobe Reader stating that there are no printers installed.
    This is not the case, there are several network printers installed and I'm able to print to them using other applications, such as Word, Browsers, etc.
    Anyone have any ideas before I uninstall this beast of a reader?
    Thanks!!

    My machine has been fine since I last reinstalled adobe reader 9. Tried to print a large pdf file today from my inbox in outlook express and machine again experienced the same problem. Was not able to open my printer and faxes window and unable to print anything else. I resolved the problem by taking the following actions:
    Opened Administrative tools in control paneland went to Component Services and clicked on Services(local).Scrolled window down to Print spooler and highlighted Print spooler. Tried to Stop the service. After some time received an error 1053 indicating that the service could not be stopped successfully.
    I then Tried to restart the service. This appeared to work correctly. at this point tried to reopen printer and faxes window and could now see my printers briefly before getting error msg indicating spooler problem again. When clicking on my printer icon I could see the document that I had tried to print when I experience the original problem in the printer queue. At this point decided to try and find the file in question. Found a file in C:\windows\system32\spool\printers directory with an filename of xxxxx.spl. This is the spooler print file. I then tried to delete this file but was not allowed to do so by the system. I then used a program called unlocker assistant and deleted the file. Hey presto all printing is now restored and working well again.
    It appears that the spool file generated was corrupted and the spooler could not handle the problem. Am not sure where the problem is created. It could be with adobe 9 or it could be a windows spooler problem.

  • HT1338 unable to print from adobe

    Unable to print documents from Adobe.  i have updated Adobe, and still no luck.  I was able to print with no problems, until we update to OS X 10.8.2

    Adobe what program? They have lots of programs. What printer? Can you print from other programs?

  • Unable to Reboot After Software Update - Unable to Reinstall Mac OS 10.4.10

    Hello,
    I just bought a Macmini 9 months ago, and I believe I may need to either erase the HD to reinstall the original Mac OS (10.4.10) or else replace it. However, I am not familiar with Mac and don't know how to reformat the disk. Can anyone help?
    Each time there is a software update, I experience problems starting up from the HD. After the last update a few days ago, I am unable to start up from the HD at all. I tried using the original install CD 1 to reinstall Mac OS 10.4.10 with archiving. However, I received an error saying "unable to install because there is a newer version already installed." Therefore, I tried to start up from the HD again by pressing Option key at startup, but the Macmini continously turned off by itself without rebooting. I tried reinstalling Mac OS with the erase option, but it failed. After that, the Mac OS install CD1 only gives me the option to reinstall additional applications, but when I select continue, there is not HD shown to install the applications.
    Disk Utility First Aid on CD1 was unable to repair the disk. I received the following messages: "Invalid sibling link", "Volume check failed", "The underlying task reported failure on exit", "1 HFS volume checked", "1 volume could not be repaired because of an error."
    At the bottom of the page under Disk Utility, the following information about the disk is available. Format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled); Capacity: 111.5 GB (119,690,149,888 Bytes); Available: - ; Used: - ; Number of Files: - ; Owners Enabled: - ; Number of Folders: - .
    System Profiler is able to identify type, disk identifier, file system, etc. It shows the volume supports journaling, but is not journaled.
    Scan Image for Restore shows Library_Preferences (Empty), and Root applications are all grayed out.
    I performed the Apple Hardware Test (ver 3A129) by pressing D at startup. The test ran for 5 minutes and 6 seconds. It reported "No trouble found".
    It seems the HD is empty, but the install CD is not offering any options to reinstall the OS, only the additional applications. I believe it is a partition error, but I am not familiar with Mac and hesitate to proceed any further.
    How do I reformat the disk so that I can reinstall the original Mac OS 10.4 and 10.5?
    Your help is sincerely appreciated. Thanks.

    Good news!
    The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
    Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
    If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
    If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.
    I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
    That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.

    My sustem is a Windows 7 64 bit.  I have Office 2010 installed as well as Adobe Acrobat Pro X ver 10.1.3.  I am unable to print to the Adobe PDF printer.  If I select it in Notepad it is Greyed out.  If I select it in an Office product like Word or Excel it shows that it is READY.  However if I select it so I can print to PDF I get an error message "Word cannot print.  There is no printer installed."
    If I got to Devices and Printers Adobe PDF is listed.  If I right click on it and select "Printing Preferences"  I get an error message "Operation could not be completed."
    If I select Printer Properties I get an error message "The "Adobe PDF Converter" printer driver is not installed on this computer.  Some printer properties will not be accessible unless you install the printer driver.  Do you want to install the driver now?"
    If I click YES a wizard pops up, the Add Printer Driver Wizard.  I select Next, choose either any of the Adobe PDF Converter Versions or HAVE DISK, the NEXT.  If I select have disk I go to the proper place "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF" and select the file AdobePDF.inf.  I then select the top Adobe PDF Converter and select Next.  It says You have successfully completed the Add Printer Driver Wizard.  You are about to add "Adobe PDF Converter, x64, Type - User Mode.  I click Finish and get another error.
    This error says "Unable to install Adobe PDF Converter, Type - User Mode, x64 driver.  Operation could not be completed (error 0x00000002)."  I select OK and Adobe PDF Properties pops up.  It has tabs like General, Sharing, Ports, Advanced, Color Management & Security. I can click on any of them and make any changes but once I click on OK and close the window and then Right Click on Adobe PDF there is no change to my results.  I still get all of the above errors.
    I have tried deleting the Adobe PDF printer and then selecting in Programs & Featues (Old ADD/REMOVE) the Adobe Acrobat X Pro item and right clicking on it and the selecting Change.  It goes through almost a reinstall, it adds the Adobe Printer back but NO CHANGE.  I still can't print to Adobe PDF.
    Can someone help?

    Can you try 'Print as Image' (Advanced button on Print panel).

  • Unable to restart after software update 10.3.1.1779

    I am unable to get  my Z10 to restart after this update.
    I have searched endless avenues and have now resorted to deleteing the notifcations for this update when they come in, I have downloaded and installed it, but when asked to restart, my phone stalls on the loading screen forever, the longest I have waited for it to restart is 3 days, with 24 hours of that on 99%.
    I am now the but of all phone related jokes as everyone I know has an IPHONE that works perfectly, but I insist on keeping this awful Z10 becuse I dont want to join their rank....too tink I spent £500 on this when it came out (more fool me)
    It would seem that the general consensus is, I will have to go to the inconveience of taking my Z10 in to a phone shop, were they will send it off to BB for the update to be installed.
    PS; Blacberry's forum is as hard to navigate as the phone is to actually get working proberly.

    This has been the worst software update I have ever encountered. My Q10 is completely unreliable and I am going to switch to another device in the morning. I have restored factory settings and have successfully wiped the app to sync my shared Google Calendars, the z and y keys have swapped on my keypad and the Q10 still turns itself off arbitrarily, wipes all text and phone messages and can't recall what network I'm on or what my home wifi settings are.
