Adobe Reader 9.1.3 Doesn't Print on Mac 10.5.8

I have just installed an HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909g printer.  It prints from every program I have tested, including Safari, Pages, and TextMate.  However, it does not print from Adobe Reader 9.1.3
I am running the most current version of Leopard, have run Software Update and updated everything, and have run Check for Updates in Adobe Reader (it reports that there are no  updates available)
I turned on debugging through cups ( http://localhost:631 ) and get the message:
E [09/Aug/2009:09:05:12 -0700] [Job 14] pstopdffilter/pstocupsraster failed with err number 13

E [09/Aug/2009:09:05:17 -0700] [Job 14] Opening Printer Connection Failed: Unable to open the printer connection. Please check your printer connections and check for printer errors.
I am connected via wireless to the router, and then wireless from the router to the printer.  Again, every other program prints without problem, so it is not a connection problem
I had seen a post about problems printing with Reader that suggested opening the Preview mode, and then printing from that, but when I click the Preview button, I get the message "Preview is not supported".
My workaround (other than not using Reader!) is to click Print, then open the expanded Print Dialog (click on the little down arrow), click on Advanced..., then select "Print as image".  When I do that, it prints without problem.

To clarify my previous post, I had already seen http://forums.adobe.com/message/1770581 .  I mentioned in my post that I get the message "Preview not supported" when I click the Preview button from the print dialog in Adobe Reader, and thus concluded that the "Preview" workaround discussed in that thread wasn't helping me.
However, re-reading that post, they were talking about using the Mac "Preview" application to print the pdf file.  Like every other application (other than Reader) I have tried, the Mac's Preview application prints just fine, and is another workaround.
The only program that doesn't print for me is Adobe Reader.
BTW, I also have an Intel chip in my MacBook Pro.
Re-installing Leopard, as suggested by one post in that thread, is not a reasonable option for this problem.
In fact, since Preview allows me to view and print .pdf's , my solution is probably just going to be not to use Adobe Reader.  In fact, had I not been new to the Mac, I would have known that I didn't need Adobe Reader at all.
However, I'm glad this happened, in the sense that I use CS3 on the PC, and had considered moving to CS4 on the Mac.  However, since Adobe apparently hasn't figured out how to get printing to work on a Mac from their flagship product (!), I will be sure to do a lot of testing of CS4 before considering buying the upgrade.

  • Adobe Reader v 11.0.10 cannot print PDF files

    Hello,
    My Adobe Reader v11.0.10 running on Windows 8 Pro with Media Center cannot print anymore.
    I used to be able to print from Adobe Reader before.
    I still can print to all printers using other applications – Word, Excel, Notepad.
    I can print a test page on any of my printers without any problems.
    I can print PDF files using other PDF viewers (like Foxit reader), but I can’t print from Adobe Reader.
    There is no error message on the screen and there is no any error message in the log files.
    If I uninstall Adobe Reader and re-install it, then the first time I log on I’ll be able to print once.
    But any consecutive attempt to print will fail!
    Any ideas what could be the problem?
    Thank you!

    Hello,
    I go to File --> Print menu.
    As I always do.
    It used to work before.
    I haven't tried "Print as image" option, but I'll try it and post the result!
    I will try also unchecking 'Enable Protected Mode at Startup' option under Edit> Preferences> Security (Enhanced)
    As I mentioned in my previous post I tried re-installing Adobe Reader - but no luck :
    "If I uninstall Adobe Reader and re-install it, then the first time I log on I’ll be able to print once."
    I think that the issue is not the particular file - it has something to do with Adobe Reader itself. Maybe it is corrupted????
    I'll try again tomorrow and I'll post the result!
    Thank you for your reply!

  • When Firefox last automatically updated, it suggested that Adobe reader needed updating, now, with Adobe Reader 8, I can no longer print from the internet, only to file. Help please.

    When Mozilla Firefox last automatically updated, it suggested that Adobe Reader needed updating. After updating to Adobe Reader 8, I can no longer print from the internet, only to a file. I know the printer and its interface must be OK because Word prints normally.

    Problem solved, it was my oversight, I had not removed the check from the Print to File box in the print set up.

  • Adobe Reader no longer Auto-Closes after printing

    My company uses software that allows for users to reprint invoices they have previously made.  The way the procedure is supposed to work is: the driver clicks a re-print button, Adobe Reader opens up with the document, prints it, then closes.  Within the past couple of weeks however, everything is fine however Adobe Reader will not close out.  The PDF document itself closes, but the user is then brought to the main menu where they can open up another PDF.  The problem this is causing is that they cannot reprint other invoices until manually closing out of Adobe reader every time.  There have not been any updates made to the software they are using, or to Adobe Reader.  We have users on both Windows XP and 7, and have the issue with both Reader v10 and 11.
    Any suggestions on how I might be able to get Adobe Reader to auto-close again?  I am also checking with the software vendor for their insight.

    Might be difficult to fix.
    You don't know what changes to your system/registry have been made by the virus infection you told of.
    Maybe this article has some useful hints for you.

  • Adobe Reader 10.1.2 crashes when printing, worked OK w/ 10.1.1

    On a Windows 7 (32-bit?  Build 6.1.7601) machine with all updates installed, Adobe Reader crashes on print with version 10.1.2.  This problem did not occur with version 10.1.1.  I'm including a screenshot here, but to help those searching: APPCRASH AcroRd32.exe, Exception code: c0000005.
    Note that this post seems to be describing the same problem, but has fewer dtails: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4135936#4135936

    Windows server 2003 R2 64-bit SP2
    Adobe 10.1.1 or Adobe10.1.2
    None of the workarounds work for us.
    I have reinstalled Adobe Reader multiple time and applied the 92870 patch, tried all the work abounds with absolutely no effect.
    I can’t even get into the preferences to disable protected mode and Adobe crashes as soon as you press the print button. I have tried various local printers as default or network printers as default with no effect, tried assigning share names to all printers and disconnecting all printers with no effect.
    This is a very aggravating issues effecting 12,000+ users in my organization.
    Please develop a fix sooner than later, one that actually works and one that doesn’t not require 12,000+ clients to make a local change.
    Thanks.

  • Adobe Reader minimizes to system tray when printing as an attachment in Outlook

    I have a user that is running Adobe Reader v10.1.2, and MS Outlook v12.0.6668.5000 (2007).  Every time that she opens a PDF attachment in email and prints it, it minimizes to the system tray.  if she saves it to the desktop and prints, it doesn't minimize.
    I have deleted everything in her OLK folders, tried printing while in Cached Exchange Mode, and with it turned off.  the problem persists.
    Please advise.  Thanks.

    Thank you for replying.
    What is happening is the user receives a PDF attachment in an Outlook email.  She opens the PDF to view (default program for opening PDFs on her computer is Adobe Reader), then clicks the print button in Adobe.  The document prints, but it immediately minimizes to her taskbar and remains minimized unless she clicks on the icon to maximize it again.  if the same PDF is saved to her desktop, opened, and printed, it does not minimize.  We can create this issue at any time on her machine.
    I have focused on Outlook since it appears to only happen from this program.  i have deleted temporary files from her OLK folders, tested with Cached Exchange Mode turned off, and ran MS Office Diagnostics (no errors).  I am uncertain where to troubleshoot next, short of deleting her profile on the computer and letting it rebuild.

  • I have the latest version of Adobe Reader and I still can not print adobe reader documents on my Mac Air laptop but I can print any other type of file or document?

    What settings need to be changed in order to print in Adobe Reader?

    Thank you for your kind and thoughtful input.
    My Adobe reader is the most current one that's out there per Adobe.
    Something like XII  or higher.
    As for my Outlook, it's MS Outlook 2003, and I believe it's Express Outlook.
    If I disable the Protected Mode, per your suggestion, maybe that will work.
    I'll try it.
    Thanks again, and if you have any other ideas, I would appreciate your
    thoughts.
    Thank you.

  • Adobe Reader Crashes when I attempt to print a PDF

    Hi,
    I am running 11.0.02 Adobe Reader on my Macbook Pro (10.6.8 Snow Leopard). Each time I download a pdf via Safari (5.1.8) and try to print, Adobe Reader locks up and crashes.
    When we logged in on a guest account on my Mackbook Pro, the problem disappeared. Printing Worked.
    Logged back in as me, then deleted a number of p.list files in my library preferences, even tried deleting and resintalling Adobe Reader. Still the same problem. Try to print a pdf document in Safari, Adobe Reader locks up and crashes. Save the same file to the desktop and open it directly in Adobe Reader, try to print, Adobe Reader locks up and crashes.
    Any thoughts on how to fix this?
    David

    Hello Pat,
    You are absolutely the BEST.
    I followed your two recommendations and now the program is working perfectly. Yes, my Reader XI was version 11.0.10 when I was having the problems.
    I never would have figured out the solution to the problem without your help.  I was very pleased with your follow through. 
    I really appreciate your help.  THANK YOU! – THANK YOU!
    Adobe is a great program – I have used it for years and this is the first time I have had any problem.  
    Kind regards,
    Hartley
