Acrobat Reader 8.1.2 network print issue after installing XP SP3

I administer a network of 30+ workstations, and since installing Acrobat 8.1.2 and Windows XP Service Pack 3, I've been experiencing odd behavior from the print function in the reader.
Staff can open a pdf document with no issues, but when they try to print to a network printer, nothing happens. I then in turn open wordpad on their workstation, do a "File, Print", and the print functions properly.
I then can go back to the reader, and the print job will work.
Nothing has changed on my network in regards to previous settings, with the exception of installing reader 8.1.2, and XP SP3.
Any ideas, or potential solutions?

You are not alone. I hope you get some response. We have seen nor heard anything.

Title: Adobe Reader v8.1.2 Compatible with Windows XP Pro SP3
One ray of hope is that it seems to be getting quicker. I don't know why but I'll take it!
When I go to this Windows XP link,
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsxp/default.mspx
it says I am running SP2 instead of saying I am running SP3, which is what my System Properties says is installed. Just something to think about and perhaps check.
Good luck!

HP Printer issue after installing Mountain Lion

Hi, a few days ago I posted the following question regarding a printer issue and so far I have not been able to fix the problem. Here's the original question and I will continue the explanation after this....
Hi, I am a fairly new iMac owner and I am really happy with my apple, however I have an issue with my printer and I kind a "blame" Montain Lion for it. I have been using this HP Laserjet P2015 dn printer for a long time, initially with Windows and now with iMac. The first year approximately there was no problem at all to print and the transition from Windows to Mac with the printer had no difficulties at all. It was connected wirelessly via router. After downloading Montain Lion I notice the printer intermittently lost connectivity. The only way to print was turn off and turn on and it will print fine until the next time. Now out of the blue it's doing the same thing so frequently I can't print a complete document at all. It starts, and finish without printing the entire document or not connect at all. I have tried everything, including a static IP address for the printer, connect the printer to the computer via USB, downloading all the printer updates from HP and nothing seems to work. Just now, I did it again (for 100 times so far), delete the printer, reinstall and it's doing the same thing. It connects fine (either via IP or USB) and it last connected only for a minute or two. That's it. It's a shame, because I like the printer. The printing quality is great and to add more pain, I recently got a new ink cartridge ($100.00) capable of printing 3000 pages. It has 70% of ink still. Any computer sabby person out there has any ideas for me? Like I said, I've done everything.... inluding,
1. Remove the printer
2. Update the drivers
3. Assign a static IP address to the printer
4. Connect via USB
5. Disconnect the printer for a while and restart the whole process again
6. Did a "cold start" to the printer
I don't know what to do, and I don't want to spend more $$$$$ on a new printer. Is Montain Lion to be blame for? Please advise me.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
At this point I do have the printer connected only via USB, prints one page (perfectly) and then goes offline. Before installing Mountain Lion I did use the printer with my Mac for almost a year with no issues at all. I even downloaded Mountain Lion again thinking of any flaws during initial installation. I've done all the updates, drivers, uninstall, re install, repair disk permission, static ip address....you name it... I've done it all and nothing seems to work. What makes no sense to me is that prints so great only one page and then is gone.... I would be happy to know the printer is dead and go get a new one but in my mind if it prints ok one page it still works. I don't want to have a new printer and find out it does the same thing. I can't keep myself away from blaming Mountain Lion. IS THERE ANY WAY TO REMOVE MOUNTAIN LION WITHOUT THE RISK OF DAMAGING THE COMPUTER???? PERHAPS GOING BACK WILL PROVE ME MOUNTAIN LION IS THE CULPRIT. Just saying... I am totally frustrated. I guess the next step is to get a baseball bat and fix the printer once and for all.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Any fix for this? I have the same problem after upgrade. It's off by many seconds. Thank you.

Wireless printer issues after installing lion OS

Since installing the Lion Os on 13th September 2011, I have experienced intermittent wireless printing problems.
When you try to print the printer icon comes up with an error, and the message is 'the printer is not connected'. The printer is on and wiFi is lit up. Sometimes by cancelling the print job and then requesting it again clears the problem. When I access the printer in the settings pane it is there and showing idle with a green light, but when you try to print the connection goes.
Sometimes I have to input the administrator password and then it will print. Other times that will not work and I have had to delete the printer and re install it. The problem still exists though.
It exists on all user profiles on the iMac (4)

I have the same problem. I have checked for drivers, and just a couple days ago an updated driver for my printer came through the Mac's Software Update, but it didn't fix the problem. I'm seeing a lot of people with this problem, with different routers and different printers since Lion came out, so I'm fairly certain it's a Lion problem. I hope someone comes up with an answer soon, or I might just break out my PC...

T42 network connection problem after installing XP SP3

We have had problems with wireless connection after installing Windows XP SP3 on our T42 laptops.
To cut a long story short the solution was actually related to the driver for the wired ethernet card. With version 8.7.9.0 of the driver an ipconfig gave an error saying there was a hardware problem and new wireless connections could not be made without a wired connection being made first.
The solution was rolling back to driver version 7.2.17.101 at which point all the problems were resolved.
My question is what would be the pitfalls of rolling back to an older driver from 2004. In other words what is in the newer drivers that makes them 'better'. Will I now encounter a new set of problems?
Many thanks in advance for your support.

Anthony, welcome to the forum,
take a look at this thread, it may be what you are experiencing.

Color (onscreen/print) issues after update to 10.4.9

I am on the hunt for any new information - I haven't found it yet. I am convinced that one printer profile has gone haywire after the OSX 10.4.9 update. I can no longer use it accurately to onscreen proof nor application manage print in Aperture. The other printer profiles seem to be working. Using PSE4 I get the same preview and print results - major yellow/orange colorcast. My other two printers are working ok.
I understand proofing may/will present a shift in lightness, contrast, etc. and you can create an Aperture version to make adjustments for that profile. But I am experiencing a major shift that is difficult to adjust in the overall image.
Has anyone experienced "all of a sudden" icc profile / onscreen proofing / printer issues after the update (FYI ColorSync was updated in that)? I have tried just about everything except un/reinstalling Aperture.

Did you find out anything about this? I'm having exactly the same problems with Aperture and 10.4.9. Onscreen proofing is completely useless for all profiles supplied by HP (I have a B9180 printer). It might of course be an issue with these particular profiles, but odd thing is that it's only the screen rendering that looks wrong (yellow or reddish cast) while the prints looks just great.

Issues after installing Classic on OS 10.4

Background and System
I have a Power Mac G3 350Mhz Rev 2 Blue and White, 512MB, 40GB, DVD ROM
running 10.4.9 installed from Retail DVD. Firmware up to date. 2x 20 GB partitions formatted as Extended
Prior to this issue OS X has been running well.
Issue:
After installing OS 9.2.1 to second partition OS X will now not boot up from DVD nor it's partition
Solutions tried:
I wanted to install a Classic environment so used a Retail OS 9.2.1 Bootable CD and did a full install to the second partition.
After the install finished and the system restarted, set on the OS X (Partition1) for start up the system hangs right after the Apple "Chime". with no signal to video card
Attempted to then boot from OS 10.4 DVD but this does not get detected when holding "c" down for boot up from CD option. This worked perfectly before.
Have run OS 9.2.1 Disk Aid Verify and both partitions are ok. The system will boot from the 9.2.1 CD and partition but anything to do OS X now will not work. I also tried an Ubuntu 6.06 Live CD but this will not now boot either.
Checked firmware and tried to re run firmware update and this advised my firmware was up to date.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks

The only thing I can think of is that when you installed the 10.4.9 OS you didn't option to install OS 9 drivers.

Having issues after installing Essbase V9.3.1,configuring the SQL interface

I am having issues after installing Essbase V9.3.1 and configuring the SQL interface. we are using UNIX/AIX box for our Essbase server and UDB DB2 9.1 SP6 as our SQL Interface.
When tried to run an ESSCMD script to perform BUILDDIM operation on Essbase application using the load rule (with the SQL interface), got the error as recorded in the application log file and is attached at the bottom and the .odbc.ini file on the server looks as follows.
Can somebody tell me whether .odbc.ini needs any correction or what else should I do to correct the issue and able to work thru using SQL interface? Appreciate any help provided in this regard. Thanks,

I had similar errors when first setting up the SQL interface. Are you on a 64 bit operating system on the essbase server? If so Essbase needs to use the 32 bit odbc driver, not the default 64 bit driver.
The 32 bit driver is still available here SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe <-----This is the 32 bit (Use)
The Administrative tools by default uses system32\odbcad32.exe <----This is the 64 bit (Don't Use)
Once I opened the 32 bit driver interface directly and set it up the errors went away.

Dreamweaver CS4 having issues after installing PS CS6 Beta

Hi All,
I'm having issues with Dreamweaver CS4 after installing Photoshop CS6 Beta. I'm getting the follwing erros when trying to open any html file (see attached image).
Once I click OK, the file will open, also now; any copy and paste commands will not work. Anyone else experiencing any problems with other apps after installing this beta version?
Any help and feedback is much appreciated, thanks!

Re :Re: Dreamweaver CS4 having issues after installing PS CS6 Beta
Just a thought ...
This may help!
Uninstall the Beta Version of Photoshop CS6 now and then restart your computer and see if that works.
Open the CS4 programs and see if that fixed the problem and it is all working as it should again.
It is worth a try!
All the best.

Issues after installing Mavericks

I am having a ton of issues after installing macericks on wed evening, on my MBP 15" 2.5 GHz i7 with 8GB of memory,
I have a task com.apple.internetaccouts, and com.apple.MailServiceAgent, taking upwards of 100% CPU at time and the fan will go full speed, and earlier today i had a msg come up that i had run out of usable memory and the sytem had paused programs, I have restarted a few times and still the same things are coming up and the system has become really slow.
would think that with this system not being that old, that i should not be having these types of issues, if there is something that someone could lead me to ths casue i thnk you
Thanks

Had this issue again today on my wife's iMac. This was after the Mail.app update that was recently released. I now have messed with this issue enough that I believe I have figured it out.
I used to have a plugin for Mail called HTTPMail that was used to access Hotmail prior to them having POP/IMAP. It seems that removing the account from Mail left some residual account details in the ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Accounts.plist file. Mavericks Mail.app chokes on this account detail and starts duplicating it numerous times. That's why the Accounts.plist file grows so large.
If you open the Accounts.plist file in a text editor (TextWrangler would be my suggestion), find any <dict> entry that points to services.msn.com in any way and remove all those <dict>...</dict> entries, it should resolve the issue. Warning though - I had to delete hundreds of entries so it took a while to do. Once I finished it though, my wife's e-mail has been working fine.

Reader 10.1.3 Kyocera Print Issue

Hello,
we are experiencing an Print-Issue in one of our field offices in Austria.
After we deployed Acrobat Reader 10.1.3 (from 9.5) the employees in this Office were no longer able to print on an Kyocera FS-C5015N(via Network), when they try to print any PDF they get the following error message : "Adobe reader has encountered a problem and needs to close"
Because this Kyocera is only in this office we cannot reproduce this Issue somewhere else.
We are running Win XP Sp3
There is no other PDF Software installed
What we already tried :
- Re-Install Acrobat Reader 10.1.3
- Re-Install Printer on the PCs
- Re-Install Printerdrivers
- Re-Configure Printer Settings
- Re-Configure Printer Network Settings
- Disable "Protected Mode on Startup"
- Disable "Show PDF in Browser"
- Enable the "Print as Picture" setting
- Different PDFs,
- When we Print to another local Printer there is no Problem(but thats a small&slow one and just our Emergency Solution)
- After we Re-Installed the Printer on the PCs the first printing attempt works without Problems
- Tried to print over the Network from my office (Vienna) on this printer -> same Problems
- Also some other "tricks" the local IT-Expert tried
So my question is, if anyone is experiencing the same Issue on this Kyocera or any other or can give me any Feedback according this Problem.
Thanks !

This is a public forum; please do not post your email address or other private information.
Regarding your issue; it appears you have already tried everything possible - I have no other ideas what to try with 10.1.3.
The only solution for now I can see is to revert back to 9.5.1; is this a problem for you? This should be only temporarily until a new version of 10.x or 11.x becomes available.

Acrobat X doesn't recognize network printer

Trying to get Acrobat 10 Pro to recognize my new printer that I've connected to on my home network. Works just fine on my desktop, but it won't recognize the printer in Acrobat on my laptop.
Laptop prints to new printer fine from other programs.
Acrobat is still showing a printer that has been completely uninstalled from the laptop, but of course, not the one that has recently been installed.
Details...
Windows 7 64-bit
Acrobat 10 Pro (newest upate... completely uninstalled, reinstalled and updated)
Brand new Brother MFC-9970cdw printer with drivers installed properly from CD (uninstalled properly and reinstalled... three times)
I've read tons of posts all over the internet and nothing answers this issue.
PLEASE HELP!!
Thanks.

There seems to be a problem related to installation/set up of printer device using Laptop. Kindly re-install the printer.

Acrobat Reader does not recognise my printer

Hello,
When I attempt to print a pdf document from adobe reader, my printer is not listed in the dropdown list of available printers. I am therefore unable to print anything. This issue only occurs with acrobat reader, all other windows applications recognise the printer and print fine. The printer is connected via wifi.
I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the printer and the drivers, as well as acrobat reader. I have restarted my computer. The issue still persists.
My system information is as follows:
Windows 8 64 bit pc
Epson WF-7515 with the latest drivers
Acrobat reader version 11.0.0
Any solutions are much appreciated
Regards

I have the same problem. My Brother HL-1430 over USB connected to my Airport Express works perfectly. But via Time Capsule no way. I did all the deletion, re-install etc., but no success. I think the Time Capsule has still some problems to solve. What I did now:
I have connected my Airport Express via Ethernet (bridge mode) to my Time Capsule. I have my stereo and USB printer connected to Airport Express. My TC connects to the Internet. In addition I have an additional USB HD connected to TC for TC archiving and file sharing.
My MacBook connects to TC only. Now all works fine. I can use everything together at the same time (Internet, printing, music streaming, TimeMachine) without even having dropping bits when streaming sound in parallel.
Here I must say, that I would have long expected Apple to finally include Air Tunes into its base stations and TC. It's a bit of a joke that you still need to buy an additional Airport Express just to stream your music. Here marketing and product positioning at Apple goes too far and harms the concept of an easy and integrated solution.

Basic tiger server printing to network printer issues - HELP :)

Hi everyone, Im after some help as im running out of ideas, here is my basic setup: (sorry i have rambled on a bit
current 192.168.0.x network that has ADSL, PC's HP Laserjet 5Si network printer.
Connected to that is my Tiger server with 2 lan ports, one is connected to that network and the other connected to a switch where I run all my macs - the server is a basic file and software update server.
macs connected to the server get a 192.168.2.x address and can access the internet and each other etc - all is happy.
now - I had my personal macbook pro connected directly to the first network to access the printer, works fine and fairly quickly but was unable to access the server (i imagine because the server thinks i was from the big bad internet from the .0.x range
once i connected to the other network served by the mac server i could access all the files fine but printing would not work, so i thought I would have the server access the printer as it has access to both networks and just share it to the local macs.
well when i add it and put in the 192.168.0.71 address it connects and loads the GIMP HP5si driver, but when it tried to print it takes up to 5 mins to show that its finished, but only sometimes does the printer actually fire up, and the times it did it never printed the whole page...
The only thing i can think of is that the server is trying to print to the .0.x address'ed printer but using the .2.x address range, possibly confusing the systems.., im not too familiar with all the firewall/NAT settings ,i think i have everything turned off, but its still not working..
If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated, im not sure what else to do.
Thank you for your time

This sounds more like a protocol or a driver issue rather than an addressing issue. Which protocol is being used to connect to the printer? You mention the GIMP driver gets loaded, which I read that it's an automatic function rather than you having to manually browse to the driver.
Also, I would look at trying the Gutenprint drivers from Sourceforge rather than the included GIMP-Print.
The other thing would be to check the cups error log on the server. It could give some clues as to why the spool file is taking so long.
