Adobe won't print from Excel etc

Having installed Adobe Acrobat v 10 Standard on my new desktop, printing documents to adobe is just not happening. If you open acrobat and create a pdf from the same file, it works, as does the Acrobat option on Excel etc (to create). However, selecting
Adobe as the printer, doesn't seem to work at all - no docs in queue etc, won't even 'print' a test page. Same settings/ports etc on another computer (laptop) works Ok. Windows 7 Office 2007. Any ideas?

Hi,
According to your description, it seems that you can not print documents through Adobe Acrobat directly.
Did you try to print Office file stand alone? Did you update the latest printer driver in your new desktop?
Please follow all the steps mentioned in the links below

Adobe won't print from a Win7 machine to a networked printer conected to a MAC

Hi,
Does anyone have any suggestions.
I have a printer connected to a Macbook in the study, I can print wirelessly from my Win7 laptop, all other types of file - office docs/web pages/photos etc. So I know the printer is set up correctly.
When trying to print PDFs from Adobe reader, I can see the printer in the printer select drop down, but when I click print - nothing prints. I get the printing diaglog box, but the progress bar doesn't get past 0%.
Also from within Reader, at the print dialog box, i can click the printer properties, and from there print a test page, but the PDFs themsevles just don't print. Also I dont get any error messages to say there has been a problem.
I am v confused, as i said every other program i use works without problem.
I would be most grateful if anyone has any suggestions, as its really starting to bug me and i have lots of PDFs to print!
Thanks in advance
MrUseful -
Though thats probably Mr-NotVery-Useful today!

Hi,
Please try the following steps:
Open the file in Adobe Reader
Click on File menu - Print
In the Print Dialog box, select the Printer and then select Advanced button
In the Advanced print setup, Please check 'Print as Image' (See the Screen shot)
Click Ok and then Click Print.
Let me know if this solves the problem.

HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911g won't print from applications from IMac OS 10.7.5

Just had a software update today, now it won't print from applications (Excel, Word, etc). I've done all the troubleshooting in the exact orders and have also shut everything down, reinstalled, turned off router, etc. Don't know what else to do. Prints out printer status report, Wireless network test results shows that no problems found, congratulation on the successful setup of your wireless printer. IP addresses on wireless and printer are similar. Looked all over forum, but couldn't find a solution. Printer is not even 2 months old. Doesn't make sense. Seemed to stop printing after we used the scanner, not sure if that is an issue for any reason. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I am having trouble printing to an Epson XP600. It is a new printer and it has been replaced because we thought it was the printer. Basically, when I print from Excel, only color will print.

I am having trouble printing to an Epson XP600. We have replaced the printer and we are still having the same problem. When I try to print from Excel, only the color prints. Any suggestions?

Has anyone else had issues not being able to print black (such as a document)? My photos print great, but when I try to print a simple black-ink document, it won't work. Any suggestions?

Printing from excel

for the past 5 yrs i have done the same thing I have a spread sheet which I extraxt info from to another location then print to Adobe pdf - it then tells me to assign a name ot the file which I do and which folder i am putting the PDF in which I do and then it looks like it is copying the info ( no error message) and it goes back to my excel sheet then usually adobe opens up with the form -- this is not happening and it does not save file

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that printing from Excel Services in IE
creates a print block of all conditional formatting symbols in your SharePoint 2013.
Which printer do you use ? For my test, I create a PowerPivot document and upload it to my SharePoint 2013 document library. Then I open it using Excel Service and go to File -> Print -> Print. The
print feature works fine on my PowerPivot document.
For your issue, I recommend you follow the steps as above for printing your document.
Best Regards,
Eric

Adobe v9 on W7 and office 2007. cannot create PDF from MS word using Adobe. But can from Excel, PPT

Adobe v9 on W7 and office 2007. cannot create PDF from MS word using Adobe. But can from Excel, PPT and other MS office apps. Reinslalled Adobe, updated Office, and Adobe no help! Also I can create a pdf from the MS Word and it is using the Adobe 9. So one would think that's good. No it isn't when you need to combine different files to one big PDF document. Any suggetions? Thank you

Yes, I’m saying that I can in WORD use “Save As ADOBE pdf” but cannot in ADOBE create a pdf file from a WORD (.doc or .docx) document. While I can from other MS Office apps like Excel and PowerPoint.
I understand I can use “work around” and save doc in WORD as pdf then compile all files needed (xml, ppt, pdf) in the ADOBE v9. to one big pdf document. But that is not the point of this post.

Won't print from rear tray

I have a Pixma MG6220. No matter what I do it won't print from the rear tray from a source on the web. I go to both the quick setting and main tab and select "rear tray." Still prints from cassette. I took out the paper from the cassette. Won't print unti I load paper in the cassette. I even selected a different paper than plain paper and selected rear tray - but it still printed from the cassette.
I selected "continuous autofeed" for a default, removed paper from the cassette - and it still wouldn't print from paper loaded in the rear tray.
It will print from the rear tray if it's a document originating from my computer (or at least I just tried that and it worked). I did not change from plain paper, I only had to select rear tray.
Yes, I realize "save the document to your computer" will be a suggestion, but the website won't let me. It's a "free printable" that is not downloadable.

Hello.
The issue may also be related to a setting in your web browser. Check to see if your browser has a Page Setup option. This menu may be controlling the paper feed setting.
If the issue persists, please try using a different web browser to test the unit.

I cant print from EXCEL

I have just installed my new HP Office Jet Pro 8600 and I am unable to print from EXCEL...Can anyone advise please?

Do you receive any error messages?
Yes, the error message I receive is "current printer is unavailable. Select another printer". This error message is shown when I try to print a excel or a PDF file. However, I have no issues printing from Word, or the web. Also, I have a second computer signed on from a wireless network, and it can print everything without an issue.
What options do you get when you try to print from Excel?
It gives me the option to use "Microsoft XPS Document Writer" or "Quickbooks PDF converter". However, neither of these options allow me to print.
Does it work from other Office programs?
Yes, Microsoft Word.
How is the printer connected to the computer?
The printer was originally a wireless connection when the problem occurred. I then switched to a USB connection, with the same results. I then tried an Ethernet wired connection, but no change. Currently, we are on a USB wired connection.
What version of Excel is being used?
"Microsoft Office Excel 2007" I belief it is the home office edition.
What operating system does the computer use?
The computer having an issue runs Windows 7. My second computer runs XP, and has no issues.
How was the printer driver installed? Was it from a CD or a download? Was it the full featured driver or basic print driver?
The printer was installed by a CD. It is unclear to me whether or not it is basic or full, I just popped in the disc the printer came with. It installed version 24.2.0
We recently purchased this printer in order to replace our old printer for office use. The old printer has incredibly slow, and sometimes did not print things. We first set up the new computer (HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911a), and added it to our wireless network. We then added it to our main computer, and the printer would not print from excel. However, we found we were able to print things without an issue from our second computer once it was added.
We have tried rebooting, reinstalling, using every form of connection, without progress.

When i 'upgraded' to Mavericks, it locked me out and shut down my computer. now it won't print from my Epson Stylus CX3810. Epson doesn't have the driver to download and neither does the App store. Suggestions?

I'm having similar problems with my Epson Stylus DX5000. There was no in-built driver available (the generic old and new Stylus drivers didn't work), so downloaded the latest driver from Epson site. It shows as being available to print to, but just sends data to the print queue then job disappears.
I hope you're right C F McBlob, I could do with printing today but if there are new drivers available from November 5, then so be it.

Just purchased HP 8610 printer, but it won't print from my 8.1 windows computer

HP 4500 won't print from my Dell Inspirion Laptop

My new HP 4500 wireless all in one printer won't print from my Dell Laptop running Vista Home Premium. It did for awhile but
only if I left the printer on. The IP address kept changing for some reason. Now, it will not print from my Dell laptop at all. It will
print from desktop computer running XP but it is connected via a USB cable. This printer is definitely not "plug and play". Anyone
have any ideas how I can get it to work with my laptop? I bought this wireless printer for that reason only.
Best Regards,
Mike

It looks like the printer is not on your network properly. The clue is that the printer's IP address is 169.254.x.y.
You are running a ADSL connection, right? Who is your ISP?
Turn off the printer and your computers and finally turn off the Netgear router. Unplug the telephone line (this is important) from the Netgear, wait 30 seconds and turn on the Netgear. Wait another 60 seconds and turn on the printer.
What is the IP address of the printer now? If it starts with 169.254.x.y, then the printer is not properly on the network. If you got a different IP address (one that starts with 192.168.x.z or starts with 10.x.y.z), turn on one of your Macs (but leave the telephone line disconnected).
Open the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address. Select Networking and then Wireless (802.11). Under the IPv4 Configuration tab, select Manual IP:
For Manual IP Address, use the existing printer IP address plus an offset. For example, if the printer's IP address is currently 192.168.0.5, then use 192.168.0.30.
For Manual Subnet Mask, use 255.255.255.0
For Manual Default Gateway, leave blank. This is important.
Select Manual DNS Server:
Leave both the Manual Preferred DNS Server and Manual Alternate DNS Server fields empty. This is important.
Press Apply.
Turn off the Netgear wireless-router and reconnect the telephone line. Now turn off the printer and all computers connected to your network. Wait 60 seconds then turn on the wireless-router and then turn on the printer. Then turn on the computers.
Finish up by installing the SW on the Macs. Since you're running Snow Leopard, simply go to the Print & Fax System Preference and press [+] to add the printer.

My HP Photosmart 6520 won't print from my chromebook. It use to, but now it won't. Please help!

Hello,
Is your printer connected to a wireless network with Internet access?
Do other web services work on the printer? Meaning, can you use ePrint or the Printables on the front panel? (printables = apps on the printer like Disney, Menu Planner, Quick Forms, and so on.)
