Adobe will not print anything

Adobe has the absolute worst software on the planet. I’ve already banned it from one computer due to the complete inability to prevent Adobe from performing updates, including attempting to prevent this by altering the registry settings. The problem I am having now makes it appear I’ll have to find another program in order to merely print PDF files as I can’t even do that with my Adobe product.
I have Adobe X Standard installed on my laptop and just tried to print an already saved PDF file. Adobe doesn’t want to print the file and automatically opens a menu that tries to force me to save the file I already have saved as a PDF. Seriously? For starters, you can’t overwrite an open document so I’d have to save with a new file name, a clearly ludicrous concept.
In short, Adobe will not print anything on my computer regardless of whether it was saved previously, or is just a document I found on the internet and want to print without saving. What a total waste of money.

My HP printer is set as 'default', both in my printer settings as well as the program I am trying to print from (CAD program and you have to specify printer).
Adobe fooled me once and got me to open up my wallet; it won't happen again. Absolute worst software I have had in my 25 years of using computers.

    Be sure to try restarting, if you have not done so since this problem occurred.  You should also power off the printer while you do the restart...
    If that does not help, you can try resetting the printing system.  Open System Preferences Print & Scan (or Print & Fax) pane.  In the sidebar with list of printers, right (control) click anywhere.  Select Reset printing system.  You will have to add back your printers after you do this.

  • Adobe will not print from us government site

    I have a customer that has a windows 7 pc that will not print a adobe document from the us courts web site. I know the document is protected. When you try to print it will quit the program. I have unistalled and reinstalled adobe but still a program crash. I can go to a any other web site and be able to print from adobe okay. Another user at the site has windows 7 and prints to the same printer. Can print okay from the same site. They both have the same version of adobe reader 10.1.3 and internet explorer 9. Anyone have a fix for this problem?

    For a newly installed printer, you may need to reset some hidden preferences, '''''print.print_printer''''', in particular, for Firefox to recognize the new printer.

  • Will not print anything but Pdf files!

    If I try to print anything at all other than a PDF file from Adobe only(other readers will not even work) very little of the page prints if anything at all. For example, I was trying to print a shipping label off of the website, and the only thing that would print was the barcode. Nothing else. I actually had to convert it to a pdf file and open it with Adobe, and then it printed perfectly. I have tried reinstalling, restarting, using the HP support doctor, which says absolutely nothing is wrong with my printer. I am at a loss to why it will only print pdf files from Adobe. Can anyone please help me?! I forgot to mention it worked perfectly about a month ago. We don't print a whole lot and didn't notice it was messed up until just a few days ago.

    Hey , Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that when printing from your Windows 8.1 computer to your HP Deskjet 1512 All-in-One Printer, nothing is printing, except Adobe PDF files. I would like to assist you today with resolving this issue. Now, you indicate in your post that you had tried to print a shipping label from a website, and only the barcode prints. However, if you open the file up and print it from Adobe it appears to print fine. This leads me to believe that the actual issue that is occuring is a print system issue with the black cartridge. I know it may come as a surprise to hear that as Adobe is printing fine. However, when you print from certain programs on your computer the file is sent to the printer as an 'image' file. If your printer 'thinks' it is printing an image it will use a mixture of colour ink and black to print the black document. Therefore, what you may actually be seeing when you print from Adobe is colour ink mixed. To start troubleshooting I am going to have you print a Quality Diagnostics Report from your printer and this will help us to isolate this printing issue. Please follow the steps below.  How to Print a Quality Report: Load clean, white U.S. Letter or A4 paper in the input tray, if necessary.Press and hold the Power button. While holding down the Power button, press and hold the Cancel button. Hold them both down for 2 or 3 seconds.The test page prints. (1) Printed with the tri-colour cartridge(2) Printed with the black cartridge  If this Report prints perfectly: Then the printing issue that you're experiencing is not being caused by your products print system. Rather, there may be a driver conflict occuring between your Windows computer and your printer. Please do not proceed with troubleshooting at this time.  If this Report prints with missing black or other quality issues: Then the printing issue that you're experiencing is being caused by your products print system. To resolve this hardware issue can I please have you click here. Once the support document opens please choose the Windows 8 dropdown. Next, follow the steps under Solution one, Solution five, Solution six, and Solution seven. This includes any sub steps under the listed Solutions to complete. Once troubleshooting has been completed please print another Quality Diagnostics Report to confirm if the issue has been resolved. Please respond to this post with the result of printing the Quality Diagnostics Report. I look forward to hearing from you!

  • My HP Photosmart will not print anything until I turn it off and then turn it back on.

    I have a HP Photosmart Model C-309a  Product Number CC335A
    All of a sudden, my printer stopped working and refused to print anything sent to it unless I actually press the power button to turn the printer off.  Then if I press the power button again to turn it on, it prints the document from the print spooler.  I have no idea what caused this or how to fix it.  You suggestions are very much appreciated.
    Thank you.

    markymarc99,
    Lets start with checking out our software/drivers to eliminate them as a possibility. Download and run the print and scan doctor located here:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docnam​e=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
    It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
    Best of Luck!

  • HP 6520 All in One Printer will not print anything

    Nothing will print on plain paper.  The cartridges are wet and show color when I remove them from the printer.
    Is my printer set up wrong?? I just put in a black ink cartridge a week ago and have not used it much.

    Hi there,
    Please try as many steps as you can from this document: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c03318187

  • Printer install, test print ok, will not print anything else, cannot select as default printer

    Printer installs fine, test pages, alignment pages, colour print pages all test fine, they are selected to print from the option on control panel. Trying to print from any other program, the printer is not listed as an option. Going through control panel, try selecting it as default printer, following messge given :
    Operation could not be completed (error 0x00000709). Double check the printer name and make sure the printer is connected to the network.
    Printer connected via USB direct to my single laptop. Uninstalled and re installed, as per troubleshooting instuctions. Ran troubleshooting program and HP print and scan doctor.  Only info given was that it was not default printer, when asked to fix the problem it states it cannot.
    Had a previous HP printer scanner, all removed (it broke, hence the new one), never had a problem with the install, this new one is being a real pain, any help would be appreciated

    Hello again mattcpx ,
    I think what we are going to need to do is start right from scratch.  Seeing that the only printer listed is generic printer icon from Windows 7(This icon does nothing for the printer you have installed), we are going to uninstall your printer and do a proper re install.
    Lets start off by removing the usb cable from both the printer and from the computer and leave it disconnected until further notice. 
    The first link I have for you gives detailed instructions for Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Once the uninstall is complete, please reboot the computer so that the changes take affect.
    When the computer is back on, disable any firewalls or anti virus protection that you may have running.
    Please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    Do a power cycle on the printer with the use of the on/off button.  This will do a semi power reset on the printer.
    The next step that we are going to take is to download and save the HP Officejet 4630 e-All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Drivers to the desktop of the computer.  This will create a new icon on the computer and make the download easy to find.
    Double click on the new icon and follow the installation instructions.  The installation will prompt you when to connect the usb cable so please do NOT connect it before hand.
    Let me know how you make out.
    If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.

  • HP LaserJet Pro MFP M127fw will not print anything except its own config

    Just purchased a HP LaserJet Pro MFP M127fw.  I cannot manage to get it to print using any type of connection to the printer.
    I can connect to the printer from my Ubuntu PC and my Android phone, but when I attempt to print, the job just hangs, never erroring, but never completing.  I have attempted printing from various applications, including a test page from the HPLIP tools, but the jobs reports "processing".
    When I attempt to print an information sheet from the printer's front panel, it asks me to confirm, but then nothing happens.
    I can connect to the printer's web server, but clicking on the print info button there does nothing.
    I have successfully connected with HP's ePrint service using the printer's reported email address, but the service reports "problem with printer".
    I don't know what else to try here.
    This question was solved.

    Hi richRemer,
    I see that you are having issues printing from the computer and the Android phone.
    I will be happy to help you.
    Power cycle the computer and the router.
    I would do a power reset on the printer. With the printer still turned on, disconnect the power cable from the back of the printer. Then disconnect the power cable from the wall outlet. Wait 10 seconds and reconnect the power cable back to the wall outlet first, then the back of the printer and power it on again.
    Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector)
    Print a hardware self test. Find out what the IP address is.
    Printing a Configuration Report.
    I have provided you with the Driver Support for Linux OS.
    If you are still having issues please go to Linux support page.
    Thank You.

  • My HP Photosmart wireless ePrint will not print anything off my computer....

    It will print a network test and says its connected to my wireless network. A box also will come up on the screen saying printing but then a box comes up that says unable to print. I have tried to restart my comp. I have ink (and paper lol) and nothing has worked. I have ran the trouble shooter as well as the utility tool. This printer is only a month old.... if that.

    I wish I had better news, but if you've gone through all those steps and it didn't resolve the problem, you can replace the printhead and if that doesn't resolve the problem, you'll want to have the printer serviced.
    Here is a link to the doc that walks you through ordering and replacing the printhead:

  • Officejet 4500 will not print from internet.

    Printer will only print e-mails, will not print anything from internet.  "Unspecified error, Line 2107, Char1, Code0 res://ieframe.dll/preview.js" appears when ever I try to print from internet.

    The issue is caused when Windows creates the printer profile in the control panel that it doesn't correctly create it with the drivers.
     We're not going to completely uninstall all the HP software, instead we're going to remove the corrupt Windows printer profile and reinstall it.  Total time for this on an average computer is about 5-10 minutes to completely repair (including reboot).
    1) Navigate to Start Menu > Devices and Printers or Start Menu > Control Panel > Printers
    2) Select each printer profile for the printer with an issue, then select remove device/printer.
    3) Reboot
    4) Navigate to Start Menu > All Programs > HP > insert model # here > Add Printer (or Setup Wizard)
    5) Follow the setup prompts to reinstall the printer profile and it recreates the Windows printer.
    6) Test by printing google.com (uses very little ink when the test page comes out).
     Let me know if you have any questions or issues.
    Thanks,
    Dan

  • HP 2480 all in one printer will not print documents, i.e., Word, e-mail, etc.

    I have installed the Printer diagnostic utility and the test page printed, so I thought my problem was solved.  However, the printer still will not print anything!  I have tried pictures, Word documents, e-mail documents, etc.  The printer was working fine a week ago, and I have restored the computer to an earlier time, but nothing has fixed the problem!

    I have the same problem with HP Photosmart C4750!!

  • HP Photosmart 6510 series network printer will not print black after changing cartrage

    HP Photosmart 6510 series network printer will not print anything that is black or has black in the picture after changing cartridge, all other colors are working properly after changing. Does not look like any damage to the cartridge or the insert where you plug in the ink. The well where the ink pad and the cartridge meet is damp with black ink. So not sure what is going on

    Hello dinger57 and welcome to the HP forums!
    I understand since changing the black cartridge the black ink has not been printing. I'm sorry to hear this, but I will definitely do my best to lend a hand
    I will suggest that you start with following through this Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages document. If the issue persists after that can you please let me know what country you're in and whether the printer is in or out of warranty? Thanks! Please feel free to private message me the country information.
    Hope to hear from you soon!
