Can't print. Illustrator CS5 (ME) Win 7 64-bit

Hi,
I can't print from Illustrator. I create a new document, add some rectangles, go to file>print... or press ctrl-p, and nothing happens. No dialog boxes, nothing. The command is completely ignored.
Using Illustrator CS 5.0.1 Middle Eastern Version on a Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate machine.
If anyone can help me, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ariel

Yup, it looks like the printer was the problem. Switched the default
from a LaserJet 1018 to a PDF printer and everything's working great.
The LaserJet actually works fine -- for everything except Illustrator.
Strange.
Thanks for your help!

Error Message:Can't print illustration. Color Management systems inconsistent.

I am getting this error message, "Can't print illustration. Color management systems are inconsistent." I just upgraded to CS5(from CS2) on a Dell Studio using an Epson WorkForce 1100 or an Epson Sylus NX400. I am a rank amateur in AI & have no idea how to fix this. I do not seem to have the option to turn off color management in either of my printers to default to AI. All I am trying to print are some labels using regular fonts and a few smoke brushes for color. These are not wildly colorful or complicated. I KNOW I should be using a Mac but I do not have one...sigh...
Thanks for ANY help.
Marion.

not sure I understand the core problem...but what happens if you Save As "Adobe PDF" and Convert to your Print Space there in Output (then print from Acrobat or place in InDesign, heck maybe even open the .pdf in Ai and try again):

Can't save illustration. Can't print illustration. HELP!!!

About a month ago in CS4 I randomly got the message "Can't save illustration. Can't print illustration." I had no changes to software or hardware. After searching to no avail, we decided we would upgrade to CS5 (however CS4 is still on the computer). Now with a new install of CS5, using Illustrator CS5 I'm getting the same error message. Even when there are no fonts present in the file and it is only a basic square the error message still pops up and Illustrator will not save anything to an EPS file.
The ONLY answer I've seen offered from Adobe on this problem is "outline the text", well that's not the problem because as I've said I've tried saving a file with just a simple path and it won't save to EPS.
I really need to save a file as an EPS and send it out to a vendor asap. Does anyone at Adobe have an answer to this problem?!
I'm using:
CS5 Designer Premium
Windows 2007 Professional, 64bit
Quadro FX 2800M
Dell Precision M6500
Thank you,
Jen

I am having the same problem in Illustrator CS5. Saving as .ai without PDF editable doesn't correct the problem. In the file there is outlined text (no fonts) with a gradient added. It file originated as an Illustrator document. I have been able to export as TIFF, etc. I'm getting the same cannot-save-or-print message.
There are no fonts in the file. When I tried to convert this RGB file to CMYK the listing for Convert To CMYK ( Edit/Edit Colors/Convert To CMYK) is grayed out. The 2 colors in the file originated as PMS but have been converted to process, CMYK in the Swatch Options dialog menu. I really need the file as an Illustrator-editable EPS other wise I can convert the TIFF to EPS in Photoshop.
Anyone have any idea about what's going on here or below?
Also,When I successfully save as a PDF the file looks fine reopened in Illustrator
but when it is opened in Acrobat 9 Pro, the gradient is modified unacceptably:
I betting that both problems are related.

Where can I download Illustrator CS5?

please can some one give me a direct link to download illustrator cs5 full version.i will be very glad.thanks to all

if you follow all 7 steps, you can download a trial via one of the links on this page using a browser that accepts cookies: http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a download problem (eg, you see an error page or you are offered an incorrect version), you probably didn't follow all 7 steps. typically, failure to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 is the problem, but your browser must also allow cookies so that (a restrictive browser setting) is another potential source of problems.

Can't open Illustrator CS5 because PowerPC not supported

Hi, I just purchased a brand new macbook pro OS X 10.8.2. I tried to reinstall my CS5 Design Premium Suite and all the apllications work EXCEPT Illustrator. The error message reads "You can't open the application "Adobe Illustrator CS5.1" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." This design suite is only a couple years old and my computer is brand new.... I assumed PowerPC was long gone. Is there a way to override this? I really need to be able to use my Illustrator!

Did you use the migration assistant to move over your software or is this a fresh installation?

Can't print from Ubuntu or Win 7

Hello. I have an Arch x86_64 box which is my HTPC and print server. The printer is shared from CUPS and SAMBA. I can see it from a Win 7 and an Ubuntu 10.10 box. But I can't print anything from those machines. Not from another Arch box either. I have a strange issue with permissions or path or whatever so I must give su - command to use some commands as root and I'm not able to shut down my computer with sudo halt as an example. I did set up my box as usual a week ago and that su thing is new to me. Can it be related to each other this permission with su and CUPS printing problem?

Did you tell CUPS to allow remote printing?
It's been awhile since I've set up cups, and I don't even have it installed atm, but, if I remember right, there are options to allow/disallow remote printing, and also for certain ranges of host ips, and even for specific users.
So, what does your cups setup look like?
How about Samba? I'm thinking that your problem is more with CUPS than SAMBA.
Can you print from the computer that you have cups set up on as the server?
CUPS also has a web interface where you can adjust these options. Sorry, I don't remember the port number that you need to use to access it, but that should be in the man page.
As for the su thing, definately. It sounds to me like you aren't in the lp group, which is default for printer access.
HTH,

Hi Jesse,
The problem you mentioned, seems similar to another error discussed here. Please refer to my following post:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2991316#2991316
also, as Ashutosh pointed out, Seems PS errored out too. If you still get error after seeing the above post, please come back with the updated error message on installer screen.
Thanks,

How Can You Bring Illustrator Cs5 Layers into Photoshop Cs5?

Hi everyone, Is it possible to bring Illustrator artwork into Photoshop so that the layers in Illustrator are layers in Photoshop, and so that all the content is arranged as it was in Illustrator.
What I have been doing is bringing in a shape or a group of shapes into Photoshop by pasting them into a layer in PS then bringing in some more stuff from another layer in Illustrator and pasting that into another layer in PS but obviously it's a mission to line up the contents again so it is arranged like it was in Illustrator in the first place.
Any help appreciated
thanks Gareth

No, it doesn't say how to do it there
Well, then you probably haven't read carefully enough about what can be set up when exporting as .psd in Illustrator.
When you export as .psd there are several export options about preserving layers. As mentioned, there are some restrictions.
But tell me, what is unclear about the following quote?
Write Layers
Exports groups, compound shapes, nested layers, and slices as separate, editable Photoshop layers. Nested layers that are more than five levels deep are merged into a single Photoshop layer. Select Maximum Editability to export transparent objects (that is, objects with an opacity mask, a constant opacity less than 100%, or a blending mode other than Normal) as live, editable Photoshop layers.
Preserve Text Editability
Exports horizontal and vertical point type in layers (including nested layers up to five levels deep) to editable Photoshop type. If doing so compromises the appearance of the artwork, you can deselect this option to rasterize the text instead.
Maximum Editability
Writes each top-level sublayer to a separate Photoshop layer if doing so doesn’t compromise the appearance of the artwork. Top-level layers become Photoshop layer sets. Transparent objects remain editable transparent objects. Also creates a Photoshop shape layer for each compound shape in a top‑level layer if doing so doesn’t compromise the appearance of the artwork. To write compound shapes with solid strokes, change the Join type to Round. Whether or not you select this option, all layers over 5 levels deep are merged into a single Photoshop layer.

How can I set Illustrator CS5 color settings using Javascript?

I can set Photoshop color settings with the app.colorsettings ('File') in javascript, but I cannot locate an object in Illustrator that would perform the same task. I can only find readonly objects for illustrator. I would like to have illustrator read a script file to set the color setting
upon startup.
Thanks

Hi imagecollection, that was kind of true in 2010, color mode was possible to be changed via Actions and vbs or as
Re: Change color space
with CS6 or newer it is more straight forward since js can play actions, and even easier using executeMenuCommand...however I'm not sure if the OP needs to change color mode or if he wants to load color profiles.

Can't download Illustrator CS5!

The download starts but it stops when it arrives to 5.90 percent downloaded. I have been trying to download it for a few days and it happens all the time! What can I do?

Check your network config. This sounds like your provider is imposing quotas or the overall connection is so bad, it causes timeout errors. Also try the alternate download method as explained here.

How can I install windows XP or win 7 32 bit in MacBook Air 2013

Hi,
I want to install windows xp or windows 7 32 bit on new MacBook Air 2013 with bootcamp 4.
Apple says MacBook Air 2013 mid 2013... Comes with bootcamp 5.
And bootcamp 5 support only 64 bit windows....apple says.
I want to install win xp or win7.32 bit with bootcamp4.
Can we downgrade the bootcamp by uninstalling or something...?
Or how can I install 32 bit windows on new MacBook Air 2013.
Thanks I advance.
Please guide.

Bootcamp 4 which ships with Lion doesn't support XP or Vista, only 7. Try using Parallels or VMWare instead.

PS CS5 on Win 7 64 bit, 32GB of RAM, but in preferences PS is only recognising '14705 MB'.

As per my heading, PS CS5 isn't recognising all of my RAM. I just updated my PC and installed Windows 7 64 bit plus 32 GB of RAM, in large part so PS would run faster. It is running faster, but it isn't recognising all of the RAM. The attached screenshot show my system specs on the right, and PS preferences on the left.
Can anyone help?

I ran the Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool, which restarted the PC and ran a memory check prior to login. No errors were found but I don't know if there is any more information (a log file somewhere?). The PC just started up as per usual after the test.
I tried something else, which was ues the Windows Performance Information and Tools diagnostic to capture basic PC info (see screenshot) and it is showing 32 GB of RAM - but PS still shows 14705 MB.
