Adobe Reader 9.2 will only print to file

Since installing the 9.2 update, I am unable to print a pdf. Each time I try, I receive the print to file dialog box. I have never experienced any similar problem with prior versions of Reader. I am ruinning Windows XP SP2 with an HP 1320 laserjet printer. Current PCL and post script drivers are installed.
Can anyone tell me what the issue is and how to print PDF's through Reader once again? Thanks.

Thanks graffiti. I did not realize that Reader had its own print dialog and there is no print to file option on the regular printer dialog. I opened Reader, opened a pdf, and clicked on print to pull up the reader print dialog. The print to file option was displayed in the lower left and it was selected -- I assume that came as a default setting when 9.2 was downloaded (I don't remember seeing or selecting it on this or any prior versions).
At any rate, I deselected the option and the pdf's now print normally. Thanks for the help and problem resolved.

Adobe reader 11.0.5 - cannot print pdf file to network printer

I have a 64 bit HP Pavilion a6230n PC running Windows 7, fully updated. I have wireless connection to a home file/printer server. My printer, a Brother HL-5140, is connected via USB to the file/printer server. All my other Windows programs capable of printing can print on the network printer - all except adobe reader. Adobe Reader sees the printer and all printing processes appear to be sending the file to the printer, however, the printer never gets the document. I've tried printing as a document, in which case the document sits in the printer queue until I delete it. If I send it as an image, each queue entry is deleted after adobe thinks it has printed. Again, nothing ever prints on the printer, and again, no other program running on my computer has any problems printing to this printer.
I would appreciate any help with this problem.
Addendum - 4 Nov 13:
I uninstalled adobe reader 11 and installed a much earlier version, and now I can print pdf files. Clearly the printing issue is with the current versions of adobe reader.

This phenomenon can happen with PDF files that have errors in them. Adobe Reader or Acrobat may be able to fix these errors, but if you close the application, it will ask to save the corrected file. If you save it once, that should no longer occur when you open it again.
This is just one explanation, but it doesn't explain why that happens with every PDF you have.
Test: does it also happen with a PDF that is not supposed to contain any errors: http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/adobe_reader_reference.pdf ?

Cannot print in Adobe 9 it will only print to file which does not work

I cannot print a PDF file that is in Adobe 9. It is not the file, I opened several other files and they all do the same thing. INstead of printing. When I click OK after choosing the printer, it goes into a print to file mode. The print to file always fails and then it will nto print. This morning it was working fine. Now it will not print. It may have installed an update to Adobe 9, I do not remember it being 9 before. I am in trouble if I cannot print tonight. Any ideas?

WHat is a "print dialogue?n How can I find it" There is nothing that I can find called print dialogue.
Where do nI find "print to file in order to disable it?

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.

.jsp files opened in Adobe Reader by Firefox will not print on my HP laserjet

I have a vendor site that provides me info in .jsp format, which Firefox on my Mac opens in Adobe Reader. When I send this file to my HP 3015 laserjet it starts spooling the file then locks up. I tried creating a .pdf file in Acrobat Pro, but still encountered the same problem. My Firefox, Adobe Reader, Acrobat Pro, and MacOSX (snow leopard) are current. I do NOT encounter the problem with .aspx files. Appreciate any help here! Thanks

Adobe Reader 8.2.5 - Disable "Print to File"

Does anyone know how to disable the "print to file" option in Adobe Reader 8.2.5? I'm guessing it's just a registry entry somewhere but I could not find it. A registry setting would be great, then it could easily be deployed company wide. What is happening is sometime's a user will check the box, by mistake and then the "output to file" will open instead of actual printing. It's an easy fix over the phone, but if the box were greyed out it would be prevented in the first place. Any ideas? I've put a screen shot of the option I would like greyed out.

This option is available via Windows on all printer drivers with almost all applications if you know where to look---Especially Postscript printers like yours. This is an OS and/or Printer Driver question that has nothing to do with Reader. Please repost in a Microsoft forum.

Adobe ReaderX will only print in landscape

I updated to adobereaderX (free version) in the last few days. Now all my pdf documents will only print in "landscape".
Word docs are not affected.
On checking, my Brother printer seems to be working fine and the printer orientation settings are correct (ie set to portraite).
How can I fix this?
Brother suggested I remove adobe reader and reinstal.

Are these documents created in landscape or portrait format?
What is your Reader/Print setting for landscape/portrait?

How do I stop pop up that asks me, Do you want to save changes to doc... before closing? I have made no changes only printed the file. Using Adobe Reader DC, Windows 7 64 bit.

This is very annoying and we need this stopped as we have made no changes to any of the adobe files. Please advise how to do this.
Customer Service DCC

I first tried the version without the deflated stream (so everything uncompressed) against the online repair tool to check/analyse it @ https://www.pdf-tools.com/osa/repair.aspx
And it says no error found, but the reader still want to save it when closing so i still had no clue at this point.
Fortunately, i finally found what was wrong with my generated PDF.
In my xref table, each object reference was not end by a full EOL, i only did put a newline char.
Now i have "carriage return" "newline" which is the full EOL and the reader is happy and close the file silently.
As suspected i did not follow correctly the specs on xref table
Now i'll go and figure what i did wrong with the deflate filter
Thanks for your help.

Adobe will only print to PDF

This is a recent problem that started with both Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard and Adobe Reader 9.
When the print dialogue is brought up, it switches from the default printer to Adobe PDF. If you pull down the menu and try any other printer, it switches right back to Adobe PDF. I can't find anything in the settings for why this would happen and the various searches I tried didn't bring up any similar problems.
Adobe Acrobat has been uninstalled and reinstalled since this started happening but nothing was fixed.
Non Adobe programs are not affected by this and print out fine. Windows 7 is the OS.

You should know that the general advice on the Acrobat forum is to
not have Reader AND Acrobat installed, since that may cause confusion

Laserjet 2100 will only print one page at a time.

I recently acquired a second hand Laserjet 2100 Series. Installation was fine but it will only print one page at a time, I have to keep pressing the 'Go' button, which is very frustrating. The manual tells me that it is in 'Manual' mode but not how to change it. Can anyone help, please? O/S Windows 7. Thank you.

This seems to be a commercial product. For the best chance at finding a solution I would suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support!

Designjet T520 will only print one page.

Hi, Brand new Windows 8 HP PC printing to a Designjet T520, will only print one page.I have met this problem on laserjets in the past and resolved it by enabling/disabling mopier mode.However none of the drivers I have tried (many) for the Designjet T520 have the option to turn on or off Mopier Mode. After many hours spent troubleshooting, I formatted and installed the Windows 8 machine again from scratch.Even with this brand new install on a bran new PC, I still cannot print multiple copies to the designjet. In the same office, 3 other Windows 8 machines are printing fine to the same plotter and can print mutliple copies. The driver versions are the same on all machines. Hope someone can help.Thanks.

This forum is focused on consumer level products. For the Designjet you may have better results posting in the HP DesignJet forum here, that is where the DesignJet experts can be found.

I've recently purchased an iMac and connected my HP Photosmart C4280 printer. The computer downloaded the driver software but the printer will only print in black and white.There doesn't seem to be anywhere to change this on the preferences menu. Any idea

I've recently purchased an iMac and connected up my HP Photosmart C4280printer. The computer downloaded the driver but the printer will only print in black and white. I've looked in preferences etc but cant see any way to change this. Any ideas??

Select a document, CMD+P, and set the color options as shown here:

Since updating to the new version the work web page that i use will only print 2 pages even if there are more. I can not get it to print all the pages in the document.

for instance....I have a documents that has 6 pages, I can scroll down and see all the pages but when i hit the print button it will only print 2 pages. I tried to change it in the setting part but there is no feature that allows you to change it.

For many years, Firefox has problems printing when some style rules are used. However, I am not aware of any changes for the worse in Fx4 (at least, until now I wasn't aware of any).
A couple of thoughts:
(1) Is it possible you were using an add-on in Fx3.6 that fixed this problem, but the add-on was disabled during the upgrade because it wasn't compatible? (Sometimes that can be fixed with a little hack.)
(2) Are there any obvious settings differences that could be affecting printing, such as fonts, margins, or shrink-to-fit/percentage?
(3) Does the workaround of selecting the entire page (Ctrl+a) and then choosing Selection under Print range in the Print dialog work? Unfortunately, this can slice through lines and images, but it often works around problems with style rules.
In the interest of saving paper, it often is useful to experiment with a PDF printer driver. If you don't have pdfFactory, you can install a trial version for testing: it lets you view the results without first having to save the file. (If you save with the trial version, there is a footer to that effect.)
(4) Is it an HTML5 problem? You can toggle the HTML5 parser off, but this is a global setting, not site-specific. If you are familiar with about:config, filter on html5 and double click '''html5.parser.enable''' to toggle its value from true to false. This helps for some sites, but has no effect on others.
