Adobe PDF printer no output. Did 'Print Test Page', but never got out of queue (Acrobat X Pro;Win 7)

I'm using Acrobat X Pro in Windows 7 environment. At Control Panel->Hardware and Sound->Devices and Printers, I did a 'Print Test Page' when I right-clicked on the Adobe Printer icon and clicked Printer properties. The 'Save PDF File As' prompt came up and I entered the filename and chose the folder location. Next, I clicked the 'Save' button in the prompt.
I could not locate the pdf file at the folder I had designated the test page to be saved to. So I checked the printer queue. The test page was still in the queue, but nothing was happening. What do I need to do to rectify this problem? Thank you very much.

I figured it out.
Adobe PDF cannot parse the quotes in any title that firfox passes to it.
So if your page has a " in it. The PDF printer does not parse " right.

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?

Can't print anything other than a test page from the embedded web server

Hi all
I have two computers hooked up wirelessly to my HP C410b All in one printer. One computer works fine and prints everything. The other one did until this weekend.
The one printer that will not print will print a test page if I go to the embedded web server and print a test page but if I try to print anything else - even a test page not through the embedded web server - it fails to print. It does not give an error message it just states print failed.
The computer shows alerts for the printer like when it runs out of paper or ink so it seems like it's connected but it just won't print.
I've tried unistalling all the software and printer and reinstalling but it still has the same problem.
Anyone any ideas???
Thanks

What operating system?
If some version of Windows, download and run this utility: http://h20180.www2.hp.com/apps/Nav?h_pagetype=s-926&h_lang=en&h_client=s-h-e17-1&h_keyword=dg-NDU&ju...

My HP Deskjet 1510 All-in-One Prints Test Page But not emails or Web Pages, ect

My Deskjet 1510 All-in-One Printer is Hooked up. All tests show a Green Arrow, It is Turned on, and Online. It will Print a TEST PAGE, but nothing else. I have Run the HP DR Support program several times to no avail. No Error Codes or Signs appear. It simply will NOT WORK other than printing a TESTPAGE or Scanning Copies on the Printer/Copy Machine. Please Help. I have been trying to get it to work for a week. It IS a New Printer. I have tried it on 2 seperate Computers which work well with other Brands of Printers. One Runs Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit, Acer Aspire Desktop. The Other a Dell T5400 running Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit . Printer is set as DEFAULT. ALL SOFTWARE is UPDATED AND INSTALLED. It says it is installed properly, and that it is Hooked up Properly, Yet it will NOT work properly. Thank you.

Welcome to the HP Community , I read through your post about the printing issues you have been having, and I hope to help you! Seeing how the printer will make copies and test print tells us that the printer itself is fine and there is no hardware issues. However, seeing how printing from two different computers will not work, flags a software problem on the computers. Please try out the steps below and get back to me with the results and we will go from there. If you did not install the Full Driver, run the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows to search and install the complete driver and software. This will need to run on both computers individually. Manually restart the print spoolers on the computers:1. Click Start
2. Type "Services" in the search field.
3. Open SERVICES
4. At the bottom, click "Extended View"
5. Search for Print Spooler
6. Right-click it and choose Properties
7. Select as Automatic in the drop down box, close the Window
8. Right click on Print Spooler and choose "Stop", wait until it stops and then right click again and "Start".
9. Close out of Services and try printing from Notepad.10. Try printing from a web browser now, if there is a problem with the print, try a different web browser. Show thanks for my reply to help you today by hitting the "thumbs up" icon below!I hope to hear from you, good luck!

HP4500 printer went off line. I can print the test page but nothing from the IMAS

Network down, re-set - now can't get the printer to function. HP4500 wireless. Was able to print a test page but when I try to print from the computer I get the "printer off-line" message. I don't know how to fix this.

Try removing the printer from the printer list, then re-add it.
Are you sure you have the latest drivers?

HP 3180 All-in-one will print test page but nothing else

Hi,
I have a HP 3180 All-in-one connected to my desktop PC which runs on Vista OS. The printer seems to be perfectly happy to print a test page but with all other documents it feeds the paper as though it's getting ready to print, then the cartridge moves to start and nothing happens. The programs I have tried printing from include Microsoft Word 2003, Opera (to see if it was just an issue with Word) and Notepad. Google Chrome won't print either, and pops up with the ONLY error message I have recieved from any program which states : "Something went wrong when trying to print. Please check your printer and try again."
Notepad seems to print fine, as with the test page. With all the other software nothing shows up in the printer queue at all when I open the Printers and Devices window. I have run HP Diagnostics on it and that says that nothing is wrong.
Is this a problem with driver versions? I believe my boyfriend has uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times.
Any help is much appreciated.
Best regards,
Bexytea

Hi Bexytea - I noticed you mentioned you had run the HP diagnostics on it. Not sure which one, but if it wasn't the print diagnostic utility, I'd definitely recommend running it:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&softwareitem=mp-...
If you've already tried that utilitiy with no success, you might try installing one of the drivers that comes with Windows Vista by going into the Printers window, right clicking and selecting add printer - follow the prompts, choose HP and there is a selection for HP Photosmart 3100 series. It may not provide full functionality, but it would help narrow down the issue and might provide a workaround for the short term.
Hope that helps.

Firefox cuts off the URL in your printout, if it's really long, and you also have on the same line (header or footer), the Date and Pages
What I have summarized below is based on this page . . . http://www.watchingthenet.com/how-to-change-or-customize-firefox-printing-defaults.html
I have two questions:
To fix, do a custom setting, for the Header and Footer as follows:
Print / Page Setup / Margins & Header/Footer / "Customize" the "Left" as follows (leave Center and Right all blank)
&T
&U . . . . . . . &D . . . . . . . &PT
&D shows the Short date as: M/d/yyyy - and then the time
To change the format of the Short date in Win 8.1, go to:
Control Panel / Date and Time / Date and Time tab / Change date and time / Change calendar settings /
Date / Short date . . . change from M/d/yyyy . . . to . . . MM/dd/yy
QUESTIONS:
1.) How do you get rid of the time, which appears after the date? In IE, you use a lowercase "d" - but that doesn't work here.
2.) Is there a way to change the font just for the Header and Footer, to something like Microsoft Sans Serif 10?
Firefox leaves no room around the text in the Header and Footer at the edge. To fix:
Address Bar / about:config
Enter keyword "edge"
Then change all four values for the printer you're using to:
print.printer_Foxit_PhantomPDF_Printer.print_edge_bottom . . . 5
print.printer_Foxit_PhantomPDF_Printer.print_edge_left . . . 10
print.printer_Foxit_PhantomPDF_Printer.print_edge_right . . . 10
print.printer_Foxit_PhantomPDF_Printer.print_edge_top . . . 5

When printing to Adobe PDF from Microsoft Publisher, the text on page 2 is not 100% black

Hi there
I'm using Microsoft Publisher 2013 to print to an Adobe PDF file (I have a trial version of Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.)
I sent the PDF to my printing house but they can't print it because the text on page 2 is not 100% black. In Publisher, the text colour on both pages is CMYK 0/0/0/100.
I created a test file in which I copied the text from page 1 onto page 2 so both pages are identical. However, the PDF created from that file, when I click Print Production, Output Preview and de-select Process Black, all the text on page 1 disappears (as expected) but none of the text on page 2 disappears! It seems that Publisher and/or Acrobat is printing the text on page 1 correctly but not page 2. Does anyone know why? Am I doing something wrong?
Here's a link to the two files: Dropbox - ShareAdobeComm
Would much appreciate some help if anybody can please point me in the right direction. Thank you.
(I'm seriously evaluating upgrading from my current 3rd party PDF writer to Adobe.)

Do not use the PDF Maker, but print to the Adobe PDF printer and see if that meets you need. If you need some of the tools of PDF Maker, then turn on only those you need, not them all. Check to be sure that the graphics are indeed being downsampled and possibly go back and reduce the graphics you have in the WORD file so that you are at least not using millions of colors, 256 max. Also consider using straight B&W if color is not needed, or at least gray-scale.

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)

Adobe PDF Does Not Appear In printer List

My computer runs Windows XP. Acrobat Standard 6 is installed. "Adobe pdf" does not show in the list of printers. I have installed all available updates, but it still does not show in printer list. I have done a google search on this and have come up with nothing. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Try to re-install it, after deleting all folders from previous instalation. If still not works, lets see, are you the adm of your network? If not, may this is a network permission while trying to install a new printer. It can be different versions of acrobats installed at same computer too.

LaserJet Pro Scans, prints test page but will not print from a file

I installed a LaserJet Pro200 MFP M276nw on my wife's Toshiba Satellite (Windows 7 64Bit OS) laptop yesterday (Printer is brand new out of the box). I installed with a wireless connection. It will print a test page and also scan wirelessly but will not print from a file i.e. a PDF. I installed it on my HP Probook this morning and it works fine. Any suggestions would be appreciated. The thought of paying Geek Squad 75 bucks rubs me the wrong way, especially since i just paid them 100 for an extended warranty. Thanks!

Welcome to the HP Forums JBottensek,
I see by your post that the printer won't print a PDF document from the one computer.
I can help you with this issue.
I have provided a document to go through the steps which should resolve this issue for not being able to print PDF documents. Cannot Print PDFs from Adobe Reader.
If you need further assistance, let me know.
Have a nice day!

HP Laserjet CP1525 printing test page but not other documents

My laserjet printer is not printing any documents. When I got into the properties, the properties program freezes. For some reason the test page prints, but when I try to get anything else to print it won't do it. The IP address has not changed, but my wireless was down for a short time this AM. Can I disable to printer and then re-enable it again without having to hook up the ethernet cable to get the wireless to work correctly?

Did that. Now I can't even print a test page. Do I have to reinstall using the ethernet cable because I do not know the steps to doing that and I just removed the printer and then reinstalled as a local printer. It doesn't seem to be connected at all now. It says its connected onthe LPT port and it is just on wireless. It still prints config pages so it's working.Can you tell me the steps to doing it with the ethernet cable?
