Adobe PDF 8.0 error - cannot print on MacBook Pro
I have just checked and I am up to date on on software. Since getting this laptop I have not been able to print to PDF with the Adobe PDF 8.0 printer. I have deleted the printer - which sets up fine. And re-added it back in.
When I print I get this in the printer queue:
Error: /user/libexec/cups/filter/pstops failed
I don't really know what this means. Except that I cannot print. I can print to my wireless printer however - no problem!
I wanted to fix this before I started adding any other printers. Please let me know if more info is needed.
It is not a "work-around". It is the intended behavior of Snow Leopard 10.6.x
Apple intentionally changed the way SL handles "print to PDF" and SL intentionally disables the Adobe Acrobat printer driver.
Once I removed the Adobe Printer from System Preferences -> Print & Fax and restarted the computer, a new option appeared under the (PDF) button on the Print window: "Save As Adobe PDF". This is an Automator action that does everything that the disabled "Adobe Printer" used to do.
Hope that helps. (jk)

CANNOT PRINT FROM MACBOOK PRO TO CANON PRO 9000
Hi, this is my first post here. i expect this has been asked before, but here goes. Yesterday i tried to connect my MACbook pro to my CANON pro 9000.I have tried everything i can think of
without success.
I have downloaded print drives from CANON,still does not print.
i have uninstalled the printer and added it again,still does not print.In console log i just keep getting filter error, coming up.
I am completely at a loss now, i am also new to MAC'S i have only had it for two months, so still learning.
therefor, i don't know if i am doing something wrong,or if there is a fault somewhere.The printer itself works fine with a PC.
Any help with this would be much appreciated,
thank you.Welcome to the Discussions!

Cannot print from macbook pro to printer connected to vista pc
My window PC broke and I changed it. My new PC runs window vista 64 bit. My new printer, connected to my new PC, is a HP Deskjet F4480. I have 4 PCs in the house. All PCs can print on my HP printer thru my home network EXCEPT MY MACKBOOK PRO that, for unknown reasons, cannot see the printer. My macbook pro runs mac os X version 10.6.1 (the new mac leopar). I call apple support. They are telling me that they cannot support me because they dont know anything about windows. Can someone help me?

Adobe Reader 9.0 will not print on Macbook Pro with OS X 10.6
I have the Intel Core 2 Duo processor, and when printing labels or other pdf's, Adobe Reader 9.0 just sits there, doesn't even acknowledge that I am trying to print. When I open the print queue, it says trying to print, loading data but sits forever. If I print from Preview and other apps, it works fine, so it's obviously an Adobe issue with the new Macs. Any suggestions for this non-technical person that just wants to print? Thanks.
If you get an error message that you do not have sufficient permissions or have other problems with updating to update then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.

Missing Adobe PDF as an option to print to.
Missing Adobe PDF as an option to print to.
I remember allowing my system do an Adobe update a couple of days ago. Don't ask me today what it updated because I don't remember.
My problem now is that I can no longer choose print to pdf. When choosing print -> pdf I encountered an error that stated that I still had three items in the queue that needed to be printed/deleted. Thinking this odd I opened up the control panel and noticed that I had two Adobe printers listed. First I opened Adobe and canceled the items in the queue. After canceling out the queue my Adobe printer closed and disappeared. I tried printing again with Adobe (Copy 1) but kept on getting an error. Thinking that I probably needed a new driver I deleted Adobe (Copy 1). Now I can't find the driver I need. If I need a driver at all. I do not have any problems printing a pdf file to the printer. How do I reinstall Adobe as a printer option?

When I try to print from my computer I get 'internal error cannot print'. My printer HP Photosmart 5510
Shelia,
Thank you for your reply. Here are some further details on the question that you asked:
1. At that beginning, because the PDF file has 226 pages as total and consists of 19 fm files, which I mean the big volume, I thought this problem occurs. (FYI, the small/medium volume means the PDF file has 112 pages as total and consists of 16 fm files / only around 20 pages as total and consists of only 1 fm file.)
However, now, I know the problem occurs in the specific two very small fm files. These two fm files are only 3 pages / 15 pages as total and consists of only one fm file. – So, I do not think the volume relates to this problem.
2. I always use “save it to PDF” to create PDF files so far. I am using the PDF distiller that came with FrameMaker8.
3. All files including graphics are in my local drive (C drive).
So I'm wondering if the problem is possible due to the two specific fm files. If so, what are your recommendations to get around this?
Thanks

Can't open PDF's on my Mac coming in on MS Outlook 2010. Reinstalled Adobe software 4 x and still get "Adobe PDF Preview Handler" error message.
No. Reader will not damage files. It is only meant to read pdf files. PDF files are frequently damaged when sent as email due to encoding issues.

I need to be able to right click on a saved document and have the option to convert to Adobe PDF. I have the Abobe Acrobat Xl Pro and used to have this option until I had to create a new subscription. What do I need to do in order to have this option? I use windows 7

I cannot get my MacBook Pro to print greyscale on my Canon MG6450. I cannot access the printer driver panel on the Macbook. So I am stuck printing everything in colour and cannot specify which pages I want printed.
Try resetting the printing system:
OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system
Next try deleting the system and reinstall the printer..

Cannot boot my MacBook Pro. Tryed CMD+R, reinstall OS, error message :damaged HD. When trying to repait it says it's OK. Yesterday HD wasn't even half full when I turned it off, now it says it's full.
What may have happened is an error and a kernel panic, filling up the logfiles.
What I recommend is first to find a way to backup your data without booting the hard drive directly if it isn't already backed up, and then get Alsoft Disk Warrior to repair the hard drive. You'll probably want an external drive from http://www.macsales.com/
And you'll want to go into Hard drive -> Library -> Logs, System -> Library -> Logs, and Users -> yourname -> Library -> Logs to remove whatever you find there.
If after booting it fills up again, start by removing all startup items in your System Preferences for your user, and rebooting in safe mode with the shift key held down. If the hard drive is over 85% full after removing the logfiles, you may want to look at what were the last applications you installed.
Peer2peer software if installed can be as bad as a virus, because it enables others to access your computer. Insecure wireless networks are just as bad, if they are WEP or no encryption and someone is within 1500 feet of your computer.
If no such software is installed, your RAM probably has failed. Run the hardware test that came with your computer, by booting with the 'D' key.
If nothing shows up there, it can still be the RAM. Especially if you've seen any 4 language screens telling you to restart.
Here's more on kernel panics:

How can I open Adobe Bridge CS6 in high resolution on my MacBook Pro Retina display?
How can I open Adobe Bridge CS6 in high resolution on my MacBook Pro Retina display? When I click Get Info, the "Open in Low Resolution" box is marked and locked. How can I unmark this box? I currently run 10.9.1. I can open Adobe Photoshop CS6 in high resolution without any problem. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.
There is no such thing. In CS6 only PS itself is Retina compatible. You would have to use CC for full Retina support.

I cannot get my Macbook Pro retina to connect to my BT Home hub.
Hi,
I cannot get my Macbook Pro Retina to connect to my BT homehub either wirelessly or through ethernet using the thunderbolt adaptor. I know that this is a problem with my IP address as in Network Settings it tells me that
'Thunderbolt Ethernet has a self-assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the Internet.'
I know that my internet connection is fine as I can plug the ethernet cable back into my PC and it works fine. Also, my phone and ipad connect wirelessly just fine.
Bt have told me to contact Apple, but I can't get hold of Apple till tomorrow.
Amyone know how to overcome this?
I did also find my IP address and enter it manually, at which point netwrok settings showed my ethernet connection as green and connected, but it still wasn't working.
ThanksSame for wifi. I have put in my IP address manually for the wifi network and it has gone green and connects to the hub, but gives me an exclamation mark on the wifi bar and still doesnt connect to the internet.
I am writing this whilst connected to the internet on the same laptop but connected to BTFON which is a really slow public network I have access to as a BT customer.
