Adobe printer option has disappeared

It seems like almost every other day there is an Adobe update.
There was one today. 
Later today, when I tried to print a PDF document, the Adobe printer option did not appear.
I see the software still on the drive, but somehow have lost the printer function.
How do I reinstall that portion?
Help would be appreciated.

I am attempting to repair the software now.

  • The Adobe Print Engine has failed to output your data due to an unknown problem

    I am currently having a huge problem printing from indesign.<br />I am running CS3 on a hi spec 08 Mac Pro (10.5.2) connected to an Epson 3800 Stylus Pro A2 printer.<br />I keep getting the message <Printing Error: The Adobe Print Engine has failed to output your data due to an unknown problem>.<br />I have tried trashing the indesign preferences, I tried a new account... In fact I have just done a clean install of the entire OS. Just can't get it to print. I did have it printing on this machine before and the same document prints from my iMac.<br />The problem seems to be something to do with the print dialogue. If I print WITHOUT checking the Printer settings in the Print dialogue is sends to the print, but the output is shocking as the paper selection is not right and uses photo black not matt black.<br />When I DO check the printer settings and set it all correctly it gives me the <Printing Error: The Adobe Print Engine has failed to output your data due to an unknown problem>.<br />Anyone else had this or have any thoughts?

    I am seeing this error too, but I've narrowed it down to an isolated set of circumstances. My client has begun rolling out Active Directory integration with Macs on their network. Here are the specifics:
    -- Mac OS X 10.5.4, IDCS3 5.0.3
    -- Using the Directory Utility, Macs are bound to AD with using the mobile account option (user folder is cached locally on workstation, hosted on the network)
    -- The message immediately pops up after clicking 'Print' button in print dialogue.
    -- Printers are a couple of different versions of DocuColor (250 and 260) with Fiery RIP front ends. Print queues are hosted on an AD print server and listed as Open Directory under Kind in the Add Printer dialogue.
    -- Only IDCS and ILCS3 (13.02) exhibit this problem. PSCS3 (10.01), Acrobat (8.1.2) and Safari do not have the same issue, so it appears to be Postscript related
    -- Printers not going through AD (IP or BonJour enabled HP B&W lasers) print successfully when logged in via the networked user. Logging into a local admin account resolves the problem as well.
    -- This issue appears on freshly imaged machines, G5s and MacBook Pros, not just an isolated workstation. So its possible there is a problem with the source image, but it was created by another office and I'm just a consultant onsite at another location trying to sort things out. Other workstations still using Thursby's Dave software for file and printer access, running 10.4.11 do not exhibit same issues.
    -- The console output lists this error when ID fails:
    7/23/08 3:28:59 PM /Applications/Adobe InDesign CS3/Adobe InDesign CS3.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe InDesign CS3[1374] passwordCallback: didn't find keychain item for "ipp://localhost/printers/DC01_Fiery250_5th";prompting for it
    I have created a keychain entry to match this with no success.
    -- None the suggestions in linked KB doc. resolve the issue. But that doc seems to be outdated as it references CS 1 and 2 versions of ID.
    So, has anyone seen the same issues? AD integration appears to be the common thread, but I cannot find the cause.

  • Can no longer connect to my network and 'forget network' option has disappeared??

    Can no longer connect to my network and "forget network" option has disappeared???  (Ipod touch 5th generation). This happened on both my children's ipods. We have reset network settings but it doesn't help.

    JEM24 , your suggestion is included in:

    Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.

  • Adobe Flash Player has Disappeared from my FF Add-ons & won't reinstall

    Adobe Flash Player has Disappeared from my FF (version 4.0.1) Add-ons & won't reinstall. The Adobe Test page says that I've successfully installed the latest version (10.3.181.34) of Flash Player but after trying this 4 times, Flash just refuses to show up in my add-ons/plug-ins and now some websites are not working correctly. (Using a Win7 Home, 64-bit, SP 1 desktop.)

    Because the are different products and load/use/display different types of files. You either have both installed because you have used websites that need one or the other, or you don't. Don't worry about why they are named the way they are named, that is Adobe's decision. Just accept the facts and go on with your life.

  • Printing Error: The Adobe Print Engine has failed to output your data due to an unknown problem

    I've seen this before when placing some of the blizzard of pdfs of all kinds that land in my inbox into Indesign. I can't remember if I ever solved it, but one work-around has been to place the pdf, then export as pdf, place that into a new document.
    It's not working this time though. The pdf in question was created in Indesign CS2 (4.0.5) in Windows, the Windows fonts are all embedded, I'm using CS2 Mac. Everything else prints fine to a variety of output devices.
    Can anyone shed any light, is there more information I can provide?
    It prints from Acrobat, which is what I'm doing, but not when placed into ID.
    Thanks in advance.

    Possible solutions include a bunch that I can't try, such as issues with fonts or colour spaces, as it's a supplied pdf. Given the resolution of exported jpegs, exporting as such won't do. I suppose I could try converting to eps via Photoshop.
    This is weird one:
    >Solution 3: Change print options in the Print dialog box.
    >Make the following change in the Print dialog box:
    >If you print a section that contains only one odd page, deselect Even Pages Only.
    If you print a section that contains only one even page, deselect Odd Pages Only.
    Umm, if I was printing only an odd page, I wouldn't get very far printing even pages only, now would I?
    If I ever get to work through the snow, I'm going to look at this one first:
    >Solution 6: Remove OPI 2.0 comments from the PDF file.
    >Remove OPI 2.0 comments from the PDF file, place the PDF file into InDesign, and then print the document.
    >To remove OPI 2.0 comments, do one of the following tasks:
    >In Adobe Acrobat, manually remove the OPI 2.0 comments and then re-create the PDF file.
    It doesn't mean much to me, but it might be a plan. As I said, for this document it doesn't really matter, I can print from Acrobat, but if a placed pdf is only part of a document I could be in trouble.
    It's weird, one problem, all kinds of possible causes. If I'm being a pest, someone please say, otherwise I'll report back on which solution/workaround succeeds.

  • Adobe Printer 7.0 disappeared

    Hi all
    I've recently upgraded from Tiger to Leopard and had to reinstall my PDF printer. However, while I was using v. 7.0 in Tiger, now the only ppd file I have the option to choose is Adobe PDF 3015.102. Does anyone have any idea where my 7.0 driver disappeared to? I'm still using Acrobat 6.0.x, if that makes any difference but I don't see why it would when that's the version I was using in Tiger as well.
    I need to get v. 7 back because when I try to downsize a pdf file by printing to 3015.102, it doesn't work - just tells me I've stopped the print queue, which I haven't - at least not deliberately.

    Actually, it will function correctly, you'll just have to jump through some hoops to get it to work again, despite what Adobe says. Adobe Mac tech "support" strikes again...
    First, make sure that you've got the latest version of Acrobat 7 install (7.1.0 at the time of this writing). Then, from within Acrobat, select the Help->Detect and Repair menu item. Make sure that "Adobe PDF Printer" is checked, click "Continue" and let it do its thing. Once it's done, you'll have the "Adobe PDF 7.0" printer listed in your "Print & Fax" control panel.
    Next, open the Terminal app using an account with Admin privileges and type:
    >sudo chmod 4755 /usr/libexec/cups/backend/pdf700
    That should take care of it -- at least, it did for me. YMMV.

  • Printing option has changed

    The print setting drop down window has changed since the last Aperture update, I cannot print " best photo" anymore with my R2400
    The drop down only gives the option of Fine or Photo
    Has anyone had the same problem? can someone help ?
    Thanks in advance.

    The books are designed for 8.5 x 11 paper. I don't think you can set up the printing to be borderless top and bottom and leave a border at the one end for binding. You might try creating a custom size with the border at the end for binding and no border top and bottom. I don't know if the Epson will honor those settings but it may be worth a try.
    If you have an advanced image editor like Photoshop Elements you can create 200 dpi jpg image files of each page and then print them from PE. See my Tutorials #6 and #8. The first part of #6 describes how to get the jpg files of each page and #8 describes how to use Photoshop Elements and layers to place the image anywhere on a canvas to get your desired borders, etc. It's for a card but would work for the book as well.

    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • My share option has disappeared from by FB business page

    Can anyone help please: just before Christmas, I think there was another FB Pages update, which I did. My "share" option on posts has now disappeared, so people can only 'like' or 'comment'. Also the "insights" info is different when I access the page directly vs when I access it through my personal FB page. AND I now have to log in to the business Page every time I want to access it.
    Help please.

  • Address Lookup option has disappeared

    hi all,
    my company recently moved to google mail and i am using a BB with curve 9300. all seems to be working fine except for 2 things.
    firstly when i go to compose an email on my BB and look for a company name in the address book i no long have the address lookup function. i am sure it was there when i first set up my BB with our company gmail domain.
    secondly 2 way sync seems to be working fine except for when i delete a message on the BB i get the option to delete on handheld and on mailbox and select that. except it never does. i have recived the message over and over from the server. i have changed the settings so on conflicts handheld wins and still the message wont delete on the server. the sync works fine for sent items on BB calender and for read items. just wont delete.
    any help would be much appreciated. have been trawling the internet for help but not found anything yet.
    thanks in advance
    g

    Hi gjrc,
    The address lookup feature is only available when using a BlackBerry Enterprise Server. If your company has switched to GMail for their mail service, they would not be using BlackBerry Enterprise Server anymore.

  • I have upgraded to X.7.2 and my printer MP620 has disappeared

    I tried to re-install it from the installation CD but it says the driver is incompatible with current operating system.
    How can I re-install my Canon MP620 so that I can start printing again - either wirelessly or via USB?
    When I plug in the printer to the computer via USB, and try to set it up, when apple goes looking for the software, the following message pops up: "The software is curently unavailable"
    I have tried to download a driver form canon directly, but i still cannot add the printer through the Print & Scan option in System Preferences.  The same message pops up every time.

    Download the driver from here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL899
    Delete the /Library/Printers/Canon folder, install the software, and re-add the printer.
    Hope this helps.
