Cannot print PDF's from brother HL2140 after last 10.05.8 update.

ok so, after fighting with apple about various final cut issues, I have thus far refused to 'upgrade' and I use that term very loosely, to snow leopard. I was reminded to update a few days ago-and now cannot print from my brother HL2140. I have NEVER had problems with this printer-ever. In fact I have a second one at my office with a macbook-and they work fine.
Whatever was in this new 'update' has completely screwed up something! I have downloaded new drivers again and again. I have installed and reinstalled the printer and even tried printing with generic drivers. Nothing is working.
The printer is detected by the mac, but it refuses to print. It doesn't even pretend it's gonna print, just awkward silence while we look at each other.
Can anyone suggest anything?

Dude, after the last apple upgrade I cant open half my programs. (almost everything that isnt apple wont work!!!) and it wont even let me send a crash report!!! Way to go apple for screwing everyone!!!

Cannot Print PDF File from IE8 Beta 2

I recently installed Adobe Reader 9 and Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 under Vista 32-bit. When a PDF file appears under IE8, I cannot print the file. The print command shows only a blank page. If I save the PDF file, open Adobe Reader 9 and open this PDF file, I can print the file correctly. Please advise if you have the same issue and possible fixes?
Thank you...

I have a similar problem. I have Adobe Reader 9 and IE8 Beta 2 on Vista Ultimate, and other pdf drivers as well. When I try to print to any pdf driver in IE8 B2 I get "Access Denied" message box, then when I click OK I guest a script error on line 2037, Char 1, unspecified error, code 0, URL: res//ieframe.dll/preview.js. It occurs with all the pdf print drivers I have including ScanSoft PDFCreate, Quicken PDF printer, and DocuCom PDF printer. If I do print preview and then print, there is no response.
Debugging java scripts is more than I want to get into. Any ideas?

I cannot print pdf documents from Adobe Acrobat

When I open up a pdf document in Adobe Acrobat, I am unable to print it. If I try and use an HP Laserjet 1606 laser printer Acrobat crashes. When I use either an HP Office Jet 7000 wide format ink jetprinter or a Brother MFC 3360C multi function ink jet printer I either get an error message that says "This document cannot be printed" or Acrobat crashes.
I can print using the Preview program.
Any suggestions?

Cannot print pdf files from printer

Problem just started. Using new laptop with IE8 and have new version of Reader.

Ok. Well, you didn't really answer most of the questions I asked so I'll have to take a guess at a fix.
First, download, install and run the Adobe Reader cleaner tool and use it to remove all traces of Adobe Reader. Then, download and run the full offline installer for the latest version of Adobe Reader that your operating system can accept.
If that doesn't work, please read my last post and answer all the questions I asked.

Cannot print PDF's with Kyocera

I am using a Kyocera 5050 in my office installed as a network printer that utilizes local authorization codes for each employee in order to track printing usage. Normally, a print job will be sent to the printer and a box will pop up asking for credentials (the username and password for the printer). The printer will authorize the print job and then print it. I have one employee which cannot print PDF's from Acrobat. I tried updating the printer driver, Acrobat is up to date, and he has no trouble printing from any other application. Tried installing Adobe Acrobat Reader in order to see if it was just Acrobat, and Reader will not allow printing either. The computer will send the print job to the printer, but the printer rejects the credentials and will not print the job. No other employee has issues so it isn't a network issue, and his credentials work in any other software outside of Adobe products so I'm assuming that the issue lies within Adobe's software. Any ideas?

I we understand your posting, only one user out of a group of users printing to a particular printer requiring credential presentation is having problems printing from Acrobat. How do you conclude that “the issue lies within Adobe's software” given that the other users don't have this problem?
The particular printer, the Kyocera 5050, supports a number of page description languages, including their own emulations of PostScript and PCL. What page description language is being used? Are all the users setup with the same driver using the same page description language and the exact same driver settings?
Acrobat and Reader generate their own PostScript, bypassing the driver for that function. Drivers that attempt to put up their own dialogs (such as requesting credentials) and then try to insert commands into the PostScript stream must do so very carefully per conventions established by Microsoft and Adobe. If such commands (such as a pre-job authentication stream) are not properly inserted, then they might be put into the job in the wrong place or go missing altogether.
I would recommend checking the driver for the user experiencing the problems, making sure it is the exact same version and having all the same settings as those for users not having problems.

After downloading latest Reader software (11) on my Mac (OS10.7.5) I cannot print pdf files on either of my two printers. How do I uninstall and reinstall the software? Adobe's instructions are only for Window devices.

After downloading latest Reader software (11) on my Mac (OS10.7.5) I cannot print pdf files on either of my two printers. I suspect corrupt software. How do I uninstall and reinstall the software? Adobe's on-line instructions are only for Window devices.

You can just drag the file to the trash. If you want you can remove the pdf plug-in from the internet-plug in folder, but that should not be necessary to correct your problem.

It would be great, if you could provide us with the following details:
1. The OS you are working on.
2. The version of MS Office installed on your machine.
3. A screenshot of the error message along with the scenario in which the same is displayed.
4. How exactly did you go about updating Reader 11.0.02 to 11.0.03. Was it via the updater mechanism or by downloading the patch from the Adobe site.
Also, it would be great if you could let us know if there was any other Windows or Antivirus related updates applied on your machine in the same timeframe as the Reader update.

Cannot print PDFs after installing mountain lion

I recently upgraded to mountain lion and have been having a series of problems!
The latest is that after updating my drivers for my printer Brother 7840W, I am able to print word documents. But I just found out that I cannot print PDFs. It says, "looking for printer..." However, I can cancel that and go and print a word document. So, i'm at a loss as to what the issue is. Any thoughts?

After installing update 11.0.07, I have been unable to print pdf douments from websites displayed in I.E. 11

I just installed 11.0.07 and since then have been unable to print pdf documents from websites displayed in I.E. 11 (32 bit). The problem did not exist until I installed the update. Opening the same sites with Chrome solves the problem, but some of the important sites I use, (FAA WebOPPS for instance) don't work with Chrome or anything other than I.E. for that matter. Does anyone know if Adobe is aware of the bug and working on a fix?

Let me put it in context.I am a developer, and in my work we create a flex application a few years ago and we are providing support to this application. Since 2 days ago th button we create in our application for View PDF just stopped working. We use this code:
public function navigate( url:String ):void
navigateToURL( new URLRequest( url ), OPEN_NEW_WINDOW );
It is very simplistic and worked fine as I told you, until Tuesday this week. Please tell me what happened, it seems the last plugin version crashes somewhere and my button just does not work any more.
Thank you.

Cannot print pdf doc

After upgrading to 11.0.10 I cannot print PDF. I've got 2 boxes: The document cannot be printed and There were no Pages selected.

I think we need to know what Sibleyfam is using as a PDF reader. I have had difficulties printing PDFs using Adobe Reader to various HP LaserJets but if I open the files using Preview they print without any problem at all. Right-click or Control-click on the PDF icon and select the Open With option... then slide across to the available applications and select Preview... if, of course, the document was opening in Adobe Reader previously. If it won't print from Preview it could be a postscript error generated by a bad font in the PDF. Opening the file in Photoshop or similar so you are, effectively, rasterizing the font data may solve the problem if a dodgy font is the issue. Converting the file to Postscript should also produce the same fix though I just 'printed' a PDF as a .ps file and the text was still selectable making me think that the font problem (if it is this) will not disappear after the conversion.
I hope this helps eliminate something even if it doesn't solve your problem.

Cannot open pdf's from internet

I installed Adobe reader but found it wasn't necessary. After uninstalling it I cannot open pdf's from the internet. When I try all that opens is a blank screen. How can I fix this?

Open a Finder window then from the menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Click Go.
If you see the: AdobePDFViewer plugin in the Internet Plug-Ins folder, move it to the trash.
Restart your Mac and try opening a PDF file.

Cannot print PDFs in any application except Adobe

I upgraded to OS 10.5 recently (and now 10.5.1 on my laptop), and I am no longer able to print PDF files from Preview, nor am I able to produce PDF files from the printer dialog in any program. Printing PDFs in Adobe Reader works fine. Whatever other program I try to do this in crashes--TeXShop and Preview crash when I try to print a PDF document, while any program crashes when I try to produce a PDF file through the print dialog. The two computers I use are a Macbook Pro 2.0 duo core and a brand-new new iMac. The printer I use is a Brother 2030. I am able to print non-PDF documents such as .rtf files in programs such as Nisus Writer and TextEdit.
I have to print and deposit my PhD thesis very soon; help will be most appreciated. I could print it from Adobe, but the print quality is much poorer for some reason.

Do you have the old printer queue in use? This made problems in my case. Remove the queue and the printer in prefpane. Add the printer again and try out. Perhaps in your case it is a differnt problem, but you have nothing to loose.

Cannot print PDF files on Mac OS X

Hi,
since some update from Reader 8.1 to 8.1.2 I cannot print PDF files anymore. Meanwhile I installed Reader 9, but with no luck.
If I crank up the preferences I get the error "Failed to load an application resource (internal error)." ... maybe there is something wrong with the installation, but even an reinstall doesnt fix it.
If I try to print I get only the message "The document could not be printed" and then "There were no pages selected to print." ... no matter what PDF I try to print.
The Apple Preview works without any problems, so the PDFs should be good.
Can anyone help me on this ... its really frustrating.
Best Regards
--Michael

I had this same problem. I did a clean install of OS X 10.5.6 to an USB hard drive, installed Adobe Reader 9, and tried printing. It worked fine. Then I cloned the external drive back onto the internal drive and it failed with the same no pages selected problem.
It turns out that my filesystem on my internal hard drive is case sensitive, but the external hard drive had the default case-insensitive file system.
To fix, do this:
Go get yourself an external firewire or usb hard drive at least as big as your internal drive. Plug it in and use Disk Utility.app (under /Applications/Utilities) to Erase it and format it as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". The download CarbonCopyCloaner, a free utility that can copy an entire drive. Use CCC to clone your Macintosh HD to the external drive.
Now that you have a backup drive, go to System Preferences and choose Startup Disk. Pick the external drive as the the startup drive. Reboot and check that your printing works properly now.
If that fixed your problem, while you are booted from the external drive, use Disk Utility to erase Macintosh HD and format it as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" not "Mac OS Extended (Journaled) case-sensitive". Then use CCC to copy everything back. Reboot.
