Can't print from Word or Acrobat

OK, I had this problem maybe two years ago and I did fix it. The problem is back and I don't remember how I fixed it.
I have an HP printer (new printer since the last time I had this problem so its not necessarily the printer) - MS Word and Acrobat Adobe will not allow me to print.
I can print Appleworks and can convert Word to pdf and print it with Preview not Acrobat.
Did I reinstall the printer program? or Word or Acrobat?

There is absolutely no relationship between what InDesign installs (and uses) and the operation of Microsoft Word and Acrobat. InDesign does not install any system components or share any system components with Word and Acrobat.
Look elsewhere for causes and solutions. In the case of Acrobat, if you have specific issues with printing with specific types of PDF files and/or devices, post your questions on the appropriate Acrobat forum (“Printing and Prepress”).

  • Can't print from Illustrator or Acrobat

    Hi all,
    I just upgraded my iMac to Mavericks, and am now having trouble printing from CS5. The message I get is "Can't print the illustration. The Color Management settings are inconsistent." I hadn't made any color management changes, so I assume this is related to the upgrade. I checked AI, PS, ID, and Acrobat, and all the settings are North American General Purpose 2. I opened Bridge, and it has the same color setting, and says that all CS apps are synchronized using the same color settings. How do I fix this so I can print?
    Thanks,
    Sue

    Most of the time, I can't access the Printers & Scanners pane at all - I keep getting an error message (Could not load Printers & Scanners preference pane.). The few times that I did get in, the left pane that usually lists my printers is filled with bits and pieces of type and illustrations and symbols, so I can't select a printer. I tried printing to a different printer (Epson), and can do that without any issues (duh, don't know why I didn't try that last night). I can also print from Word to the printer that my CS5 apps won't print to (HP).
    I spent some time this morning with AppleCare, and they want to walk me through reinstalling Mavericks. I have too much work to do at the moment to take the hour or so to reinstall, so I'll call them back this evening.
    This is fun. Not.

  • Can't print from Word or Adobe...but everything else works just fine

    I get error message "opening raster file failed!"
    I have tried different printers and none work. Any suggestions?

    Could there be a newer or upgraded printer driver available for your
    print hardware, from the printer manufacturer's support site, or maybe
    via Apple Support downloads?
    The error message relates to other users with printer issues among
    other brands of printers; so it may be your print drivers are at fault.
    If the driver installer disc from the manufacturer has its own un-install
    process, use that to remove the existing driver before reinstalling an-
    other one. There also may be a print driver option from Gimp online.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • I will try to print from word to the Adobe printer.  Sometimes it just freezes.  I cannot select another printer.

    I will try to print from word to the Adobe printer.  Sometimes it just freezes.  I cannot select another printer.  It’s like all my printers are gone.  Sometimes I get an “Unable to Connect” error and sometimes I get “1 document in printer queue”.  No matter what printer I choose after I try to go to Adobe, I cannot connect to a printer.  The only solution I have come up with is a clean reboot which I can't afford to do 4-5 times a day.
    Currently on Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.09

    Hi Tymuls,
    The first step I would try is delete the Adobe pdf printer and then repair Acrobat.
    Repairing Acrobat will bring back the pdf printer. We released an update yesterday i.e. 11.0.10. try updating to the latest version and check.
    Have you tried uninstalling the software and reinstalling it.
    You might also want to check the performance in a new admin user account.

  • I just paid for Adobe PDF pack and I think I am having problems installing. When I select to print from word, PDF is not an option. Help!

    Hi voltric2014,
    If you are on Windows, you can download and install the CreatePDF Desktop Printer, which would allow you to "print" to PDF from Word. You'll find a link to the installer on the CreatePDF page at https://cloud.acrobat.com. Here are the instructions for installing it: Using Adobe PDF Pack
    Please let us know if you have additional questions.

  • I'm running Adobe 9 pro on snow leopard and when I save or print from word for mac 14 the bottom gets cuts off

    I'm running Adobe 9 pro on snow leopard and when I save or print from word for mac 14 the bottom gets cuts off. Can someone help?

    Ah! You're creating a PDF out of Word through Acrobat. The cutoff is most likely being affected by the printer chosen.
    When you call up the print dialogue in Word, check to see what printer is being used. If it's a typical inkjet printer, Acrobat is using the print margins of that printer as the cutoff area. Since most such printers can't print to the last inch and half or so of the paper, that's where it would be cut off.
    Near the bottom, under the preview of the document, click on the Page Setup button. It doesn't really matter which printer you select here. Under Paper Size, choose Manage Custom Sizes. Under the Non-Printable Area heading, choose the same printer and set the paper size you're using.
    Note that the unprintable margins for that printer will be filled in automatically. That's what's being cut off. Click the + button to create a modified version. The default will be "Untitled". Give it a new name if you want. Then set all of the margins to zero. Click OK. Now you'll have that as a choice under Paper Size. Doesn't matter that the actual printer can't use this setting since you're going to a PDF. Click OK to get back to the main Word print dialogue.
    Now choose Save as Adobe PDF. It should give you an exact duplicate of what's on screen in Word since as far as Acrobat is concerned, your "printer" has no unprintable margins.

  • MFP M127fn connected, test printing OK, can't print from applications

    Hello Everyone!
    I have just set up my M127fn via USB on a Windows 8 system. The set up went fine. I have a small stack of test pages from the HP software, but it won't print anything from any applications like MSOffice. The HP diagnostic software (Print and Scan Doctor 4.6)  can communicate with the printer and everything checks out OK.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello! 
    I have replied twice to your last posting, but have heard no response. Unless a solution can be presented quickly, I fell I must return the product. LPug and play was introduced with Windows 95 and this HP product has not lived up to that 20 year old technological standard. My previous replies are copied below.
    Please respond soon.__________________________________________

    Hello again!
    I haven't heard a response to my most recent reply. Is there anything you can suggest before I give up and return this HP product to the store? I would like a quick resolution to this. As an update to my previous email (copied below), printing is no longer working through Adobe Reader.
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • Can not print from preview after Lion Update

         I can't print from preview since I updated to Lion. After I hit command P or select print from the file tab preview totally freezes up and gives me the spinning wheel of death until I force quit preview. I have no issues printing from anything else, such as word, excel, web pages.  So I don't think it's a printer/driver error.  Help?

    I would still mention what printer you have and make sure you have the latest printer driver.

  • Can't print from the internet but other stuff I can

    I have had my printer for about 4 months now and everything has been fine until the other day when it stopped printing from the internet.  Now that I think about it, it's about the same time I put new ink in.  But I can print from Word and other stuff.  I even pulled up the printer in Devices and Printers and did a test page and everything was fine.  I have an HP Envy 4501 (Print Scan Copy Photo).  I use Chrome for my internet and like I said, I've never had a problem in the past with it. 
    I downloaded the HP Print and Scan Doctor and it said everything was good.  When I select to have my email printed, it opens it in a new window and then it does the print display for me and I have to select 'Print using system dialog...(Ctrl+Shift+P)' and then it opens the print window.  It has my printer selected, I hit print and nothing happens.  My printer icon appears down by my clock in the lower right hand corner of my computer and when I hover over it, it says '(1) document pending for Missy' but then nothing happens and a few seconds later it changes to '(0) document pending for Missy'.  ???? 
    What am I doing wrong??  Help please!!! 

    Hi MissyDub,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand that you are having a problem printing from Google Chrome, where the print job is shown, but then leaves the queue. I would be happy to assist you with this issue!
    It sounds as though the issue is isolated to Google Chrome. To restore the browser settings (and printing settings) for Chrome you can uninstall and reinstall the software. If you are using a Mac, you can follow this document. If you are using a Windows computer, you can follow this document.
    If that is still giving you trouble, you can also (contact Chrome Support) to find out if further assistance is necessary with their program.
    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums, and I will look forward to your reply!

  • Can't print from Appleworks 6

    My wife's computer is a G4 Sawtooth, running OSX 10.2. Printer is an Epson Stylus Photo R220. All of the sudden, we can't print from Appleworks word processing. When we try, the printer window from the Print Center says that it's opening communications with the printer for a bit, but after a short time stops the printer and quits trying. The thing is, we can print from MS Word. Also, this computer is networked to my G4 ibook (10.3.9), which has an Epson Stylus Photo 825 attached. Using printer sharing, I can print through Appleworks to the Stylus 825 from the Sawtooth.
    This is a sudden onset problem. Yesterday she could use the R220. Today she can't. I've tried reinstalling the printer driver, with no effect.
    At about the same time, in what may or may not be a related problem, I stopped being able to print from either computer to my HP laserjet 4050tn, which is on an ethernet print server. Reinstall doesn't help.
    I had an intel mini whose harddrive died attached to the network. The mini is still out for repair, but I've also used both of these printers successfully since the mini was disconnected.
    Any ideas?
    duo core mini; ibook G4: G4 Sawtooth   Mac OS X (10.2.x)   Epson Stylus Photo R220 printer

    Sudden onset of problems is a sure sign of corrupt preferences. Printing problems are among many that may be cured by deleting the AppleWorks preferences. See my user tip, AppleWorks has stopped working correctly, for more information.

  • Can't print from IE 8 64 bit version only

    I am running windows 7, 64 home premium.  I have a HP c4599 all in one printer.  I installed all the latest drivers/software from the HP site. 
    I have no problems printing from any application such as word, excel, opera, etc.  I can even print from IE 8, the 32 bit version.  However, if I attempt to print from IE8, the 64 bit version, when I select print and then printer and then hit print nothing happens.  I don't get any error messages or anything.  Nothing gets put in the queue. 
    Does anyone know what the issue is?  Can you not print from IE 8 64 bit?  It is strange that I have no issues printing from any other program.
    Thanks!

    Had the same problem but fixed by using other designated printer as default but printing to the same printer.
    Could print a test page from new 8500 wireless printer and docs from Excel, Word etc but nothing from IE8 using the print drivers for Windows 7-64bit....decided to use old Officejet 7680 printer and it worked for all situations including IE8......compared both  printer test pages and discovered the environment for the 8500 which didn't work was windows NT x86 and the environment for the 7680 that worked was windows x64.......interestingly the driver names were the same, the config file was the same and the help file was the same, etc  but the data file was different too. The data file for th 8500 was hpw185g3.gpd and the data file for the 7680 was hp7600t.gpd. In other words, I select a 7680 printer software to print to the 8500 hardware.
    Recommend you add a 7600 printer choice (or some other hp model) and compare printer test pages printed from the same printer .....hope it works.

  • Can't Print from Illustrator Anymore

    just out of the blue, can't print from Illustrator CS3 or 4 to an epson 3800. Had the printer and computer for over a year, Vista 64, never had an issue, printed hundreds of pages with this printer and various Adobe products, then bam, out of the blue, this problem.
    Uninstalled and reinstalled drivers, 4 times now!
    I can print test page from the Windows dialog in add/remove printers.
    From Illustrator I have tried different pdf and ai documents, same thing. Printing hangs, nothing comes out, and most frustrating, I can't delete the print job and have to reboot to print another page.
    I can print from the following with no problems:
    Photoshop CS4
    Microsoft Word 2004
    Firefox
    Sketchup
    Vectorworks (CAD)
    ect.
    Just never in Illustrator

    try dumping your preferences
    go to Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe Illustrator CS4 settings, drag this file out to the desktop and then try printing, also make certain the file is on your local machine and not a server.

  • How can I print from my windows 8 pc to my printer using my 2nd g express?

    I have an hp deskjet 1055. It's just a USB printer how can I print from windows to my printer connected to my 2gen airport express? If it only works with airprint printers than why is there belkin routers that can work with any printer?

    Figured it out. To print wirelessly via airport express 2nd generation you have to do some things. Download the bonjour printer thing mentioned above and have the printer plugged in to the airport express. Then run the bonjour printer thing and select your connected printer and install. Where I went wrong was I tried to print from my hp printer (1). When you install a printer with bonjour to print wirelessly it installs the same printer (2) so it's like there's 2 different printers in word or whatever you use to print.  You have to select the one that says ready. Thanks for everyone's help
