Cannot print any Microsoft product

No Microsoft office product will print and I'm getting this message:
"Word cannot print due to a problem with a current printer. Make sure you have a printer selected in Print Center. You may need to print again or adjust your printer settings."
This message pops up no matter which printer I select.
Three things may have contributed (or not!): 1. just added iWork 08 & iLife 08  2. used the most recent update of Microsoft 3. printer/fax machine MAY HAVE been plugged into computer when fax tried to transmit (can't remember for sure as I've tried to problem solve)  I have gone to Microsoft help and gone through the entire troubleshooting guide: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=313553
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
As far as I know, registration is not required for Office 2008 for Mac. This issue (the Office Setup Assistant opens when you try to open an Office application) usually occurs when the Office Setup Assistant detects any corruption in the license
file (Product Key) was used to install Office 2008 for Mac.
You might want to reload the software and reenter the produce key that is included with your original installation disk, then try again.
Also, please note this is the forum to discuss questions and feedback for Windows-based Microsoft Office client. Since your query is directly related to Office for mac, I would suggest you to post in the forum of Office for Mac, where you can get more experienced

Hate to suggest this, but you need to ask in the Flash forum. This forum is for Acrobat.

I recently loaded OSX mavericks on my Imac. I now find I cannot open any Adobe products from CS5. The error message reads " to open Adobe illustrator CS5.app, you need to install a JAva SE 6 runtime. Would you like to check and install one?

None of my CS5 suite works anymore............and i really dont want to upgrade to a monthly cloud service fee as i hate this policy with a passion.

This goes for Dreamweaver CC on Mavericks!!!!! THANK YOU!
I couldn't launch Dreamweaver CC. An error told me to install "java se 6 runtime". But when I clicked OK I got another error telling me there is a network problem! I found this forum post on CS6 products, so I tried the download link, installed java 6 and presto, it worked! Thanks!

I followed the FAQ troubleshooting and that didn't help

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

I cannot print any websites; every time I press "print" it goes to "save the file as [xps]" instead. What's up?

Bless you, bless you, bless you. After months of living with this annoying problem and not being able to print out emails or websites it is, in a stroke, totally solved. Thank you! It works. It's a wonder and you're a winner!

Cannot open any Office product

Hello,
Since today I have been unable to open any Office application (I have Office 2008 for Mac). The Microsoft Office Set up Assistant opens up instead and asks me to register the product. When I click register, it tells me that I don't need to register for Office
2011 (which I have not bought). Thus I cannot re-register and cannot open any app so far. Any ideas as to what I can do to regain access to my Word/PPT documents?
thanks,
vicbruin

I cannot print any kind of document using the File Print command on the tool bar of any application, but I can print using the printer icon. OS X 6.8 with HP Photosmart printer. Any thoughts?

When trying to print any kind of document on my wife's Mac Pro, the File>Print Command will not work. She just downloaded an update to Microsoft Office and the problem began after that, but it also applies to other non-Microsoft Applications. However, the print function does work when you use the printer icon in any of the applications. She has OS X 6.8 and an HP Photosmart printer. Thank you for any thoughts.

Did your wife also apply the Feb. 2 Security Update 2012-01 v. 1.0 from Apple? That update contains a bug which disables printing and some other functions in applications that were originally written for the PowerPC processor and which require Rosetta to run on Intel Macs. Fortunately, yesterday Apple released v. 1.1 of the update, which resolves the problem. Run Software Update again to install the revised update.

Reader XI, since 11.0.1. i cannot print any more under WIN8

Since reader XI 11.0.1 I'm not able to print any more.
Only the window "Save as" appears. So I can save the document (once more) and that was it.
Printing with WIN8 Reader works fine ... but I want to use Adobe Reader to print ..
What's wrong?

Adobe Reader does not provide a printer for making PDF, and never has. You may be used to using Adobe Acrobat ($$), which does.

I cannot BUY any iPhoto products. Every time I try to submit something, I get an error message - A coonection could not be established at this time - I have been trying to buy a photo book for 2 days now with no success. I am using iPhoto 09

I cannot Buy any products from my iPhoto 09. Every time I try to submit something, I get an error message - A connection could not be established at this time. There is nothing wrong at all with our internet connection, and I have been through all the suggestions on the Apple help page, and spent 2 hours on the phone this morning getting passed round various call centres. They claimed they had not heard of this problem before. I successfully purchased a calendar in Dec with no problems at all - so I just don't understand!

Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
then boot into safe mode and try again

I cannot print any of my old pdf files. there is no option anywhere.

i have a new computer with windows 8 but not a touch screen and i cannot find a way to print any pdf documents

I would say download Adobe Reader. It is a free software and there should be a print button from there.
Otherwise if you right click when you have the document open in the standard Windows 8 reader, (Which I think is astoundingly called reader if I remember right) there should also be a print option there.

I cannot print any page from firefox 3.6.17, using Mac OS

All of a sudden I cannot print pages from Firefox. I cannot even print e-mails. I am on Mac OS 10.5.8 using Firefox 3.6.17. All I get is blank pages. I can, however, print from Safari.

I did as benshaine posted in his thread here: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/789780 I installed Firefox 3.5.10 to my desktop, printed from 3.5.10 and then went back into 3.6.x and I could print.

I cannot print any adobe documents.

Whenever I try to print the document, a box pops up that says the document cannot be printed. Then it says that no pages were selected to print. But pages WERE selected to print. I selected them every way possible, even one at a time,and it will not print. It keeps saying that no pages were selected to print. My printer is a dell B1265dnf.

Hi,
Could you please elaborate more on your problem? What error message do you get when you try to print from Adobe Reader?
Is this problem specific to a printer or is it that you are not able to print on any printer using Reader?
Is it document specific?
Thanks,
-Shilpi
