Acrobat printing problems in Yosemite

I am having problems printing since I installed Yosemite (I am now on 10.10).  I am using Acrobat reader 10.1.12.  The printing is slow or it just stops after a few lines on the page.  The printer (HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909g tells me it has printed 100% but it hasn't.  It does not have problems with other applications e.g. Excel, but I do get the same problem if I try to print the document from Preview.

Would you believe it, it has started to behave itself!!  Suddenly!!  I did not change a thing.  I am convinced there is a gremlin in the system who doesn't like being complained about.  I will monitor this gremlin and resubmit this as a question if it starts again.  Sorry to trouble you.

  • Acrobat Pro 11.0.9 print problem with Yosemite OS X 10.10

    I can no longer print 2d barcodes generated by USPS Click-and Ship website after upgrading to Yosemite 10.10.  The PDF on my display shows the 2d barcode, but when sending it to either a Brother printer or an HP printer, the word "Button" appears instead of the barcode.
    When I open the PDF from a computer running Acrobat 11.0.9 on OS X 10.9, it prints properly.

    Yes this is a ridiculous annoyance. I have found two work-a-rounds......firstly by using my iPad. I got the document onto the iPad from my iMac using dropbox. Then used an iPad printer app to print the pdf via my wifi printer.
    The other way was to send the document to a friend and get him to print it for me!!!!!!

  • Printing Problem with Yosemite 10.10.2

    I have an iMac (27-inch, Late 2012), 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7, 32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB, Yosemite Version 10.10.2 (14C109).
    And  a HP LaserJet P2055dn with Driver 19.9.
    Since 10.10.2 when I try to print PDF's and pages with Background turned on. it takes a very very long time to print. If I turn off back Printing it prints ok. but PDF's still takes a very long time to print.  I have deleted the printer and reinstalled the printer and it still has the trouble. I worked fine before 10.10.2. I will also report to HP.
    Is apple trying to fix this problem???
    Any help would be appreciated

  • Acrobat printing problems (solved)

    Hi Folk
    I'm getting on well with Arch apart from one problem, I can not print from Acrobat reader, it accepts the command and does precisely nothing, the jobs are appearing in cups but not being printed, I can print from Open Office and test print from cups but no cooperation with acrobat,  anyone have any ideas? thanks

    I don't know what DE are you using. In my case, I use xfce and when acroread starts with his stupidity I just change the print command to 'xfprint'. That forces acroread to redirect the print job to xfce's printing frontend, and problem solved.
    Now, if you're using kde, I guess there is something named 'kdeprint', 'kprint' or similar. For gnome, I've no idea.
    I hope this helps.
    p.s. Sometimes, cups takes his time to print. When its taking too long I purge cups' temp files and restart the daemon.

  • PS CS6 having printer problems after Yosemite upgrade.

    I've seen a lot of people having problems with this, and zero answers from Adobe. I'm running Photoshop on a 2012 iMac. I don't know what exactly triggers the problem, but it occurs when I'm changing the print settings for a document. All of a sudden I get this message:
    There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents.
    And nothing, nothing will enable me to print from Photoshop ever again, except re-installing the whole program. This is a pain, of course, and I lose all my settings.
    There seems to be an incompatibility between PS and older macs running Yosemite. I have not had the problem with my 2014 MacBook Pro--it prints fine from PS with the same printer. (A CanonMG5320, FWIW, but it seems to be happening to people across a range of printers.) I spent a lot of time in a fruitless text chat with someone at Adobe who disappeared after a bit and left me hanging.
    Whose responsibility is this? Adobe's or Apple's?
    I just wish someone would fix it.

    Probably either Apple's or Canon's. There have been a lot of issues with he new Yosemite. First off, are you running the latest version of Yosemite (10.10.3)? Have you tried Re-installing the printer's drivers?

  • Indesign & Acrobat printing problem

    for some strange reason I have started getting an error when trying to print from Adobe Indesign and Acrobat. the error is 'Opening Raster File Failed'. this problem only started last week. I have not updated or changed anything on the programs or my system. I tried re-adding the printer and that did not help. neither did restarting my computer. I can still print from Preview or Photoshop but not from Acrobat or Indesign.
    any ideas?

    Yes, post your question in an Adobe discussion group, and not an Apple group.

  • Ricoh printer problems after Yosemite upgrade

    My Mac is on a small business server that also included a Ricoh MP C5501 printer.  It worked fine before the Yosemite upgrade but after that upgrade plus use of the Ricoh Yosemite driver I can't get anything to print.  Someone says that it is a Postscript problem but I don't know to fix that.  Is there a proven process to address this issue?

    Hi there DirectorCHA,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps for printer issues found in the article below.

  • Printing Problems after Yosemite upgrade

    After upgrading to Yosemite, my Kodak printer only prints a blank page with an error message that a firewall could be blocking.  Kodak is allowed on my firewall and I even disabled the firewall, uninstalled and reinstalled, and still the same problem.  Please help, thank you

    Re: My Kodak printer doesn't work with Yosemite
    may help, but Kodak needs to update their drivers.

  • Acrobat printing problem

    We have just upgraded to the Acrobat X and are having an issue with printing. A font is printing differently from Acrobat 9 to Acrobat X. As you can see below the acrobat 9 printout looks fine but the X version is filling in on the A's especially?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Are the fonts that are being used embedded in the PDF? Are both vector graphics or bitmaps? What application was used to create the PDF and what versions of software?

  • Acrobat Printing Problems

    Whenever I try to print an Acrobat document, Acrobat quits "due to type 2 error" with recommendations to backup my data. What can I do to correct this?

    Hi, Lila -
    First, try increasing the Preferred memory allocation for the program (Acrobat or Acrobat Reader) - adding 50% to the original Preferred amount would be a good starting point.
    Article #18278 - Assigning More Memory to an Application
    Also increase the Preferred memory allocation for the applicable printing software. This can include PrintMonitor, Desktop PrintMonitor, and items like Epson Monitor 3, all of which can be found in the Extensions folder in System Folder; and the desktop printer icon provided desktop printing is active. Doubling the original Preferred amount for those items is a good starting point.
    I've found that it is easier to print a PDF as an image rather than as a Postscript file. To make that setting when using LaserWriter 8 as the printing software, open the document you wish to print. Select Print from the File menu; in the Print dialog screen, select Acrobat from the pulldown menu in the upper left (it's the lower of the two pulldown menus, it usually displays "General"). In the middle of the new screen locate "Printing Method:" - select "Print as image" in that pulldown menu.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro Printing Problem

    I have a problem with printing in Acrobat 9 Professional. I am printing to a Canon imageRunner C3220 color laser printer, using PS3 driver. My OS is Windows XP Pro x64 2003 SP2.
    Only the first page of multipage PDFs will print. I have checked Acrobat print settings as well as the printer's settings, and all seems to be correct. I sent a sample document to a co-worker and she printed it using Reader without a problem. The majority of the documents I create eventually become PDFs. This would be a serious problem if there is no solution.
    Acrobat 8 worked fine. Any help would be appreciated.

    Chuck,
    I just went to the Canon website. For your printer, some of the printer
    boards use Adobe PS3 and some of the printer boards use emulation. Can
    you check to see which you have?

  • Printing Problems with PDF - Adobe Acrobat

    Printer - HP Deskjet 3070A
    Laptop - Asus Zenbook running Windows 7 Home Premium
    Issue: Printing problems with PDF (Adobe Acrobat Reader)
    Dear All,
    Please help!
    My printer was working absolutely perfectly until my brother in law recently needed to borrow my printer. He plugged in his laptop running Windows 8 (awful thing that is). Since he did this to print his own PDF, I cannot print mine.
    Although all the text will appear on the page perfectly both in the document view and on actual printing, it appears that some of the transparent formatting stuff on a PDF - such as boxes you have to fill in and transparent areas (such as you find on glorious tax forms) are omitted completely. In fact, in their place I was getting a single black dot. Now, after uninstalling and re-installing updates for the printer, windows 7, adobe acrobat reader, etc.etc. I get squat. Just all the text laid out but none of the shading or boxes.
    I have tried fiddling with the printer settings; the  print as 'photo' option, dpi settings, greyscale - as much as I can think of and I am thoroughly stumped.
    In a desperate attempt, I even installed the Universal Printer Drivers - thinking it might have been that. No. All I got was a page of gobbledygook. Consequently, I uninstalled and reinstalled the normal drivers again.
    If there are any wonderful people out there with any fabulous ideas about how I can get my shading and boxes back; I'd  very much appreciate it. Sadly I have a tax return to fill out (which is already fabulously late) and need my printer to work!
    Much appreciation in advance x

    Hey there @Reverie!
    Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!
    I can see that the printer is no longer printing in the correct format after it was plugged into the Windows 8 computer!  You mentioned you have run the updates and uninstalled/re-installed the printer software.  Have you uninstalled and re-installed the Adobe software? Are you getting the same issue from other programs as well? Are you getting the same issues if you are logged in as a different user on the computer? 
    I have located the HP Update Software Utility that may be able to help.  You can download an run the utility.  It may be able to locate any other updates for the printer.
    I would also recommend running a disk cleanup on the computer to clear any temporary files and junk files that may be causing some performance or software issues. If you do not know how to run a disk cleanup on the computer please follow this document regarding Delete files using Disk Cleanup.  It is recommended to restart the computer after a disk cleanup. After the restart try the print job again!
    Let me know if that helped and thanks again for posting on the HP Forums!

  • Yosemite printer problem

    Since upgrading to Yosemite, I can't print to my HP LaserJet 1300. I have deleted and re-added the LaserJet 1300 Series printer driver (version 19.8, the latest one). I have repaired disk permissions. I still can't print. Can anyone suggest a fix?

    This is just to let you know that my printing problem has now been solved. Tonight, the App Store made the following update available:
    "HP Printer Software Update, Version 3.0"
    This update installs the latest software for HP printers and scanners. After installing this update, my Mac can once again speak to my HP printer. I can now print again.
    Thanks for your effort to help!

  • Sudden printing problems with scanned pdf documents

    Hi, I suddenly experience problems when I want to print scanned pdf documents.
    Since 2 years, I am using an iMac with a Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500M and a Samsung ML-2525W. I also use Acrobat Pro 9.0 provided with the scanner. I scan documents, save them as pdfs and print them. Worked fine until just recently. If I print scanned pdf documents, the printer give white pages. Other pdf documents get printed without problems.
    I use OS X Yosemite (10.10.1) and ScanSnap Manager 3.2.L63.
    Any advice is highly appreciated

    Hi Roger - the problem was going from 10.6.7 to 10.6.8. That is when all of the printing problems began, as well as the wifi getting flaky. I was able to get the iMac speaking politely to the printer by installing Repair 10.6.8 and re-adding the Canon printer (see below):
    Printer “failure”
    Probably the single most common 10.6.8 problem, at least as evidenced by a massive 17 page thread in Apple Support Communities, is a failure to print. The typical symptom is that the printer driver software pauses, displaying a message that states something like: “printer-state-message="/usr/libexec/cups/backend/lpd failed" or “/usr/libexec/cups/backend/dnssd failed.” Not all printers have this problem, but users report seeing the symptom in a variety of different printers.
    As is often the case with update-related problems, reinstalling 10.6.8 from the combo updater may eradicate the symptom. Another possible solution is modifying a printer file in the /etc/cups/ppd directory (as detailed in the above-linked thread).
    Unfortunately, none of these solutions are guaranteed to work. What does reliably fix the problem is to downgrade back to 10.6.7. If you’d rather stick with 10.6.8, you can instead downgrade just the quartet of printer-related files that appear to be the root cause of the symptom. These are the socket, dnssd, lpd and ipp files, located in the /usr/libexec/cups/backend directory.
    A Mac user wrote an application, Repair10.6.8 (direct download link), that automatically downgrades these four files for you. Several users report success with this program. After running the Repair app, you may also need to “reset printing system” by selecting the command from the contextual menu for the printer name in the Print & Fax System Preferences pane.
