Adobe Reader X update - printer connection lost

After I updated to Adobe Reader X the other day I lost my printer connection online.  Offline printing is fine.  The printer does not appear in the print window as before. I thought it was the site I was trying to print from (Barclays) - after lengthy discussions with them it appears the problem resulted from the Adobe update. Very annoying.  How do I fix please?

How does one delete the installer cache files? I couldn't find them in 10.7.2 I IDID find Cache files in the Library, and deleted them all. Still broken.
My 10.1.1 installer from Adobe runs and immediatly stops about 40% of the way through, and then sits there. The last time I started the install before lunch, and after lunch the installer was in the exact same spot, but said it would take an hour and 45 min to install! I'm running OS 10.7.2 on a 2009 MBP.
Update:
OK, I put Adobe Reader 9.4.6 back in my Applications folder. I open it up, and do "check for updates". It says I am up to date, and that there are no new updates.
The 10.1.1 installer I downloaded DIRECTLY by going to Adobe.com and following the links for my Mac. I even deleted the installer once and then redownloaded it just to make sure I had a good copy. This is the screen I get when I run the installer. It gets to this point in about 30 seconds, always between the "r"and "i" in scripts, and the time remaining just keeps going up. HELP!

  • 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 9 pdf printing turns text into symbols

    I am trying to print a pdf file, when it starts printing all of the text turns into random symbols, I am trying to print a rebate and this is really frustrating. I saved the online pdf to my HardDrive, then I try to print it after opening with Adobe Reader 9. I have tried printing it as an image, and still the same occurs, my printer is fine, it prints word documents and notepad perfectly, I have all the latest updates, so I do not know why this is happening.

    I do realize that not all printers are affected. However, the problem is clearly with Adobe Reader 9. The reason I say this is that the problem does NOT exist with Adobe Reader 8. The problem ONLY occurs with Adobe Reader 9. Furthermore, I am not sure what specific resolution to this printer you are referring to, but there hasn't been a solution presented thus far that is an actual fix for the problem. Originally, I identified that if I selected "Print to Image" the entire multi-page PDF would print as expected. Although, this solution causes the multi-page PDF to print very slowly (for the reasons noted by Mike). Another reader reported that if you install FoxIT PDF Reader, multi-page PDFs print just fine. I have verified that installing FoxIT Reader DOES INDEED allow me to print multi-page PDFs to our FS-C5015N. Again, if it was purely a driver issue, why would a multi-page PDF opened with FoxIT Reader print as expected while the same PDF opened with Adobe Reader 9, not print as expected? There also were a couple other posts about using the generic Kyocera KX driver. This is not an option for us. Finally, there was a post about changing the Post Script driver setings. We do not use the Post Script driver. And just as a side note, we have tried using the Post Script driver to see if this will resolve the multi-page PDF issue, and it does not. With that said, I implore Adobe to once again acknowledge this problem and provide users with a fix. This is a very frustrating problem.

  • Installed Adobe Reader X Cannot print. All Fixes futile!

    Have OS Windows XP Installed Adobe Reader X and cannot print. Documents open properly and can be manipulated according to their limitations except I cannot print. Printer is HP Officejet 4500 Wireless. Have converted back to hard connection for this process. Connection not an issue. Everything else except the pdfs will print normally. Printing a pdf elicits no response from the printer. Does not show in queue. Hard attached another older HP printer. It does respond by pulling blank paper thru machine. Have full warranty on HP printer and have been thru detailed process with them. Does not appear to be a printer issue. Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

    Tried all the same fixes. Still does not work. Connected to old printer. 
    Printer responded, but did not print.

  • Adobe Reader 9 and printing labels with USPS.

    I have read some of the other posts about Adobe Reader 9 and printing labels with USPS. I am running Snow Leopard on my IMac with Adobe reader 9.1.3 and have had no problems only when using Mozilla Firefox 3.5.3 for the Mac. There is, however, an extra step, if I recall (some window asking me to make a selection, which came up after I clicked on the "print and bill" button). But everything worked just fine.

    Hi,
    Thank you for the quick response. I've done that but the problem persists.
    A bit about my computer it's Vista, but the folders are a little weird. Default install directory and common files folders are on a different drive. In addition appdata are also on a different drive. However this should not affect sinve I've already re-installed Adobe Reader multiple times and it used to work just fine.
    But perhaps the problem is indeed path related. Anybody with more ideas to share?
    Thank you in advance.
    Update: When I reinstall Adobe Reader and open the file, the first time I try to install Japanese font it does not end with "registering product" but with something like "removing backup files" (see attachment). If I try to install Japanese font again and again, I will get the "registering product" at the final glimpse of the installation pop-up.

  • Why should Adobe Reader fail to print because of settings in the Edit/Preferences?

    AdobeReaderDocumentCouldNotPrint.txt

    Why should Adobe Reader fail to print because of settings
    in the Edit/Preference?
    Adobe Reader XI Version 11.0.10
    MS Window 7
    File > Print > Print
    I got the error message:
    The document could not be printed
    I googled this error message and used the following
    solution that worked i.e. it then printed successfully.
    Edit >  Preferences
    Category: Security(Enhancement)   'Enable Protected  Mode at Startup'
    It was checked, changed it to unchecked.
    Category: Documents    'View documents in PDF/Mode'
    It was set to 'Only for PDF/A'
    Set it to 'Never'
    Exited Adobe Reader and restart it. Then it printed.
    I had a look on another computer system (Adobe Reader XI Version 11.0.10
    and MS Window 7) and on this different computer I could print
    without doing the above two changes.
    I'm a bit puzzled. Why preferences on one system were not
    needed on a different system?

    Here is an elaborate method of troubleshooting this problem. There may be a simpler method if anybody wants to suggest one.
    There is a general technique that is helpful in this situation. I can't give you complete instructions here, and I haven't tested this with regard to bluetooth devices, but here's the gist of it.
    Create a second log-on account for your music projects. Configure it so that when you log in to the new music account, the drivers needed for the Bluetooth devices don't load. You do this in System Preferences: Accounts.
    When it's time to do music, log out of your usual account and onto the new one.
    When you install drivers for any peripheral, you have the option of installing them "for all users" or only for the user account that is active during the installation.
    This governs whether the drivers go in root/library or root/Users/your name/library.
    If drivers are in root/library, they will load whenever the Mac is booted up and will run for all users.
    But if drivers are loaded in root/Users/your name/library, they will only load if you log in as "your name". If you have a second account called root/Users/music account/, and you log in under that, the drivers in "your name" will not load. Get it?
    To get this working right you need to be knowledgeable about moving or deleting files in the /library/ directory and subdirectories, and you need to be careful because you can unwittingly cause some damage if you are not careful.
    There is also the root/System/library directory, and in general you should never mess around with anything in there or you might hose your system.
    In summary, I would start by using the installer programs for your BlueTooth devices and DE-installing all drivers. Reboot. Log back in as your usual user account. Then RE-install each driver and see if the installer program gives you the OPTION to installl for all users or just for this user. Choose the latter. Then log on to your new Music account and see if the problems go away.

  • How do I add adobe reader to my printer so I can print a pdf?

    How do I add adobe reader to my printer so I can print a pdf?

    Are you trying to print to a PDF from Adobe Reader?
    If so, you need Acrobat for that. Reader doesn't not install a PDF printer.

  • I created a brochure in pages and exported it to a pdf format. The pdf looks and opens perfectly using preview but when opened in adobe reader (which my printer uses), fonts look odd, transparencies don't display...etc. Tells me error exists on page?

    I created a brochure in pages and exported it to a pdf format. The pdf looks and opens perfectly using preview but when opened in adobe reader (which my printer uses), fonts look odd, transparencies don't display...etc. Tells me error exists on page?

    Does this essentially mean there is no way to fix this problem on my end? It's a pity because the design and branding of my brochure will suffer if I remove transparencies and use different fonts. It also concerns me moving forward because it means the quality of print on my pieces will be significantly lower because most commercial printers use Adobe products.

  • Adobe Reader 10 & 11 Printer Issues

    Printing double sided and with staples doesn't work with adobe reader.
    I print 2 copies double sided with staples, without collationIt prints 2 copies, but staples pages 1 together, 2 together, 3 together. It won't stable pages 1,2,3 together as one document
    I print 2 copies double sided with staples with collationIt prints 2 copies in the right order, but it only uses 1 staple to staple all of the documents together.
    I can print double sided with staples on word and it comes out correct. So this issue is isolated with only Adobe Reader.
    One fix I see people doing, is reverting back to adobe reader 9. But adobe no longer has adobe reader 9 available for download.
    Did anyone find a fix to this? I see a lot of unanswered forum questions about this. I even called adobe about this issue, but they refused to answer the question.

    Hi Jonthegiant,

  • Adobe Reader does not print more than 5 pages Toshiba E-Studio 232 in Windows 7

    Adobe Reader does not print more than 5 pages Toshiba E-Studio 232 in Windows 7.
    I contacted Microsoft representatives said the problem is the Acrobat Reader once all other applications print without problems.
    Please help me!

    We have the same problem with our TOSHIBA e-STUDIO6540C. We've tried different versions of adobe reader, even acrobat and many times it will only print some pages of any given document. Did you find a solution? To me it sounds like a toshiba issue but just wondering.

  • I can sign into Adobe but I cannot sign  into Adobe Reader for updates

    I can sign into Adobe but my password is rejected when trying to sign into Adobe reader for updates.

    Adobe Reader won't ask you to sign in for updates. Most likely, this is just the normal adminstrator password prompt you get when installing or updating software, and you use your computer's own password.

  • When Adobe Reader is updated past 10.1.8...Lexmark printers intermittently print gibberish (Wing Din

    Security audit dictates we must update all our Windows patches and 'other' software in our incredibly stable and function environment.
    Things go really well...only issues is updating Adobe reader past 10.1.8 causes .pdf documents from our intranet to print intermittently one line per page what looks like wing dings, for 50 pages.  Only sometimes.
    Forcing to open in Application (rather than browser) seems to solve, but this causes our loans software not to populate documents.  Support with the loans software say they can't replicate in their environment, are not interested in helping.  We must go back to opening in web browser...wing ding print continues.
    Microsoft environment LAN: Windows 7 32 bit on desktop, Lexmark T644 printers with 'latest' drivers

    You bet...10.1.8 and any version newer seems to cause the issue. Any of the Adobe 11 series.  We were at 10.1.3 I believe and it all worked like a charm.
    Oh yes...IE 9 in production but have been testing IE10.  Loans software does not populate forms when set to open in application in IE9 and IE10 :-(
