Can no longer print a PDF on Macbook Air - latest OS version

I had a message recently stating that I the HDD on the Mac was getting close to full, so moved some programs (including Acrobat Professional 11.0.10) and since then, I can't print any files using Acrobat. MS Office files print fine, so don't think it's a computer wide issue. Was there some other files that needed to be transferred to the external drive? Acrobat seems to open happily from the external drive. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks, Kaye

HP LaserJet 4MV no longer prints from PDF on MacBook Air

Yes, I still use my Hewlett Packard LaserJet 4MV and with my MacBook Air with which I have been printing from Preview, Safari screen, email, AND from PDF's since I downloaded a patch from online 1-1/2 years ago. Inexplicably the HP LaserJet 4MV no longer prints from any Adobe PDF in any program. I can print any other document except PDF still. I can print PDF's on my other printers including a Brother. I have uninstalled and redownloaded Adobe Reader. It is a mystery.
Any suggestions? Did I accidentally download some update (I try to never download Adobe updates) possibly that 'cancelled out' my ability to print on my HP Laserjet 4 MV? Any ideas would help. Thank you so much.

Why can't I print my pdfs out of the InDesign Trial Version CS4?

HELP !! I can’t print out the Pdfs I made with i the Adobe InDesign CS4 Version. Can’t even save the document as eps. and a printer spooler file it won’t do either due “to unknown error”.
Is there something wrong with the trial version? Printing disenabled?
Need help urgently cause the documents need to go to the printer.
Thank you, slightly panicing ;( help help help

I don't think the OP is trying to print to PDF -- it says they can't print OUT the PDF they've made.
That said, this is definietly an issue on the system, not a trial limitiation.
How about providing some system specs, please?

After installing Mavericks I can no longer print to my hp Laserjet 3015 (latest driver is installed) but can print to my Canon Ink Jet.

Can anyone help me or do I have to go back to Mountain Lion? I also can no longer connect to my external hard drive.

Installing the new os may have tricked one of the three devices involved. If it used to work, it will again.
Reboot the printer. Reboot the router. On the pad, general, reset, reset network connections.
Make sure all the devices are on the same wifi network. Talk nice to it.

Can No Longer Print to PDF: No File Created

Greetings, All,
(I had this problem months ago too, but it went awayApple Update?)
Recently I did something stupid on my Mac (still new to Mac from Windows) and I had to reinstall OS X (Install and Archive). After Installing OS X 10.5.3, I updated back to 10.5.6. Then I reinstalled CS4 Master Collection and installed the updates for that. This was a couple weeks ago.
I seldom need to print anything, but when I do, I print them to PDF. Now, when I do a command-P in any application (Safari, TextEdit, Mail.app, etc), nothing happens. Acrobat creates no file. I am using the Adobe PDF 9.0 driver. There is a work around: In the lower-left hand corner of the print dialog box, I can click on PDF > Save as PDF. I get prompted to name the file twice and then it does print. However, trying to research this issue, someone else mentioned the same thing and was told that's Apple's PDF printer. I want to print using Acrobat 9.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you for any help!

Wow! At least it's not just me!
I've been trying to do various tests, and now my results are a bit different:
Going off Candace's notes:
1) Doesn't work for me. This is what I used to do and want to do again: create a PDF from any application by clicking Print (eg, the Print link on web page) or pressing command-P. No file is created now.
2) I didn't even know this option existed. It worked for me, but I don't want to print my documents there. I want to be prompted for a name and folder of my choosing in the dialog box.
3) Oddly, this morning after reading Candace's response, I now only get prompted with one dialog box, not two. Again, I don't want to do this. I want it to work as before where after invoking Print I would be offered a dialog box asking me what to name the file and in which folder to create it.
Thanks, Candace! I appreciate your post!

As of yesterday, I can no longer print ANY pdf's.

Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit. Have had adobe reader on for almost a year. Can print everything else. Nothing shows up in the que (tried 2 diff printers and a bullzip pdf printer), R&R adobe XI, performed update. No windows updates were performed. Scanned for viruses ? parasites - system clean, even looked for root kit -none. Just stopped working today (tried rebooting too)

First of all, there is no need to put the entire text of your post into the title of your thread.
Next, does your daughter have an iPhone? Do her friends have iPhones? If the answer to both questions is "yes", then it is possible she is not texting them, but using iMessage to communicate with them. iMessages will not show up in the texting traffic on a line as they are not texts, but messages sent thru Apple's servers.
For all "texts" to show up in the texting activity of an iPhone, you must disable iMessage on the device. Any messages sent as iMessages(blue bubbles around the text) on an iPhone will not show up in any texting activity.

HT1349 I can no longer print from my iPad to air print

I have a iPad 2 that I was able to print from when I first set up my HP Photosmart B 210. I did change the printer email address . My husband can still print from his iPhone but I cannot print from either of my wireless devices
Thanks

I can no longer print PDF files that were scanned with the very same MX479 on Windows XP, SP3

I can no longer print PDF files that were scanned with the very same MX479 All-in-One.
I have an (obsolete) Windows XP, SP3 computer. Obviously, no updates from Microsoft
have occurred that might have impacted my Canon Pixma MX479.
When I attempt to send 1 or more pages from a PDF file to the printer, I don't even get the
Canon PIXMA popup that would allow me to cancel the print job.
Yet the Print Queue icon appears in the lower right corner of my monitor.
If I view the Print Queue, the print queue shows "spooling" and does nothing more.
If I attempt to CANCEL the print job in the Print Queue, it simply changes to "deleting -
spooling".
I cannot cancel the print job that shows NOT RESPONDING via Task Manager, either.
In fact, the only way the Print Queue icon disappears is if I totally reboot my computer!
"Luckily", I can still print e-mails, Word documents, and even my downloaded PDF of my
bank statement.
So, I was thinking that it was *only* PIXMA'S OWN SCANNED PDFS that could not be
printed ON THE SAME PIXMA 479.
However, I have since realized that I also cannot print USPS Signature Proof of Delivery
PDFs that I received from USPS via e-mail.
So why can I print *some* PDF files, but not *all* PDF files, like I previously could do?
THESE SCANS ARE OF LEGAL DOCUMENTS, SO I WILL LIKELY HAVE TO E-MAIL
THE REQUISITE, PREVIOUSLY SCANNED PDFS TO FEDEX TO PAY FOR *THEM*
TO PRINT THEM.
NOTE: I *have* tried turning the PIXMA off, unplugging it, rebooting the computer, plugging
the PIXM in and restarting the PIXMA - still no ability to print PIXMA-scanned PDFs.
And, I find it very strange that e-mails, Word documents, and some other PDFs print with
no problem "around" "NOT RESPONDING" PIXMA print jobs.
I have owned Canon printers for years, including the MX420, and the MX340.

There may be some security issues related to the USPS PDFs.

I can't help with the scan/print problem. You seem to have done everything I would try.
I don't know if maybe using a registry cleaner would help.

I can no longer print any document in PDF format. Not sure why

I can no longer print any document in PDF format. Not sure why? When I try to print, the document saves to my hard drive as a PDF and will not allow me to print? Never had this issue before. Any thoughts?

Print to file is in the main print dialog (on Acrobat 9.x) as opposed to under Advanced

Can not longer print pdf from Acrobat Reader

All of a sudden I can no longer print pdf files to my printer. It is shared by all the computers in our household and any time I try to print from any of the computers now, instead of printing it creates a prn file instead. I can find no option in the printer properties where selecting or deselecting something to enable or disable printing to files. All the systems are either MS Vista or Windows 7. Though there are commands that allow sending a prn to a network printer, they require a named print server, which we don’t have on our peer-to-peer network.
It is interesting that I can create a pdf file in Photoshop on my system and it will print from Photoshop. I can also print the “problematic” documents for Photoshop, which I only have on one system. But anything created in Acrobat will not print natively from Acrobat reader.

In the Print dialog click on Advanced, then uncheck Print to File.

Can no longer print after MacOS 10.6.8 upgrade

I used to have full Reader functionality on my core duo 2006 era MAcbook. Since I upgraded to OS 10.6.8 I can no longer print. I get a print error that says "No pages selected to print" even though I clearly selected the whole document.
Nor do on line pdf forms on websites seem to recognize it when I fill them in. I tried version 9.5, 10.x and 11.02. The latter 11.02 will not run at all on my computer even though it installs OK.

Why can I not print a PDF from an email?

Why can I not print a PDF from an email any longer?

Can you explain in better detail?
Is it when you open the file attachment and attempt to Print?
Is it right-mouse clicking and attempting to Print?
Is it when you print the email itself and expect the attachment to Print?

I can no longer print to the 3 Canon printers on my local area network. The print dialog box states that the print file is accepted and the job is printing, but the files never print. Everything worked when the computer and printers were initially set up.

Can no longer print on any network printers or on printer wired to USB

I changed the printer to "Select printer" save as PDF
since then i can no longer print to any printer on network
also I tried to connect a printer direct to usb. still no luck.
I have tried to update software
I have tried to select different printer on network
I believe the problem is in a setting that automatically changed when I selected "Save as PDF" as one of the printers.
there are so many tabs and locations on this system I just don't know where to start

First thing to try is go into your system preferences using the little apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen. Go to printers an see if your printer is listed there. Go through the settings looking for something that would lock it to acting like a PDF exporter all the time. Sometimes the printer utility will have a "Print Test Page Option".
Installing some software, like Adobe, will also install dummy printer drivers that show up as "PDF Printers" in the Printers listing. This could be set as the default printer, but shouldn't stop you from selecting a different printer at print time.
If all else fails, you could try removing all he printers from your System Preferences, then reinstalling your current printer with default setups after restarting the computer. When it sees the "new" device it should start the install process like it did the first time. If you are not comfortable doing that, better to wait for better help or you could end up being worse off than you are now.
I too print to PDF often by selecting the option at the bottom of the print page. But it doesn't lock into that mode. It prints to the printer by default.
Good luck.

Since upgrading to Yosemite, I can no longer print to my Kodak AiO. The fix on Kodak site does not work.

Since upgrading my Macbook to Yosemite 10, I can no longer print to my Kodak AiO 5250. The fix on Kodak site with Terminal does not prompt to password like it says it will. Macbook has all available upgrades completed. Printer works with a PC.

This is where I found the Kodak fix: http://support.en.kodak.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/49247/selected/true
I'm not really comfortable in 'Terminal' but tried it. Nothing happened after pasting in the first command. The fix says it will ask for password.
I see now this seems to be a pretty common problem, I would have thought Apple would fix it with an update for the number of complaints I've found. Since Kodak is in receivership or bankruptcy, I would think it's unlikely they will have any more solutions. I feel like Yosemite stole my printer.
