Cannot print pdfs to color laserjet 3800

We have a user here who cannot print pdfs to a networked hp color laserjet 3800. Everyone else can print pdfs to it and the user can print to other networke printers. Any ideas?

Maybe an update of the LJ driver on the user's system?

Networking color laserjet 3800 printer with Windows 7 OS

I have a color laserjet 3800 that is networked in an office of 5 computers using Windows XP pro OS. I just purchased a HP pavilion Slimline Windows 7 64 bit OS computer. The networking and printer networking set up was a breeze until it came to connecting the 3800. I have downloaded the PCL 5, 6 and universal drivers. When I go to add printer as a network printer and choose the 3800 it gives an error of not being able to find a driver. I tried to manually find the driver but it does not find a match in PCL 5, 6 or universal driver. The link below clearly shows the 3800 to be compatible with windows 7, but I cannot get it work.

The network absolutely sees the printer and lets it be chosen but does not let it get installed on the windows 7 machine.
Thank you for any assistance.

Same Problem here. Does no one have a solution?

Color LaserJet 3800 Printing Issues

I am in the process of upgrading our desktop computers to Windows 7 Pro (x64). In preparation for this we setup a new print server running Windows Server 2008 R2 and created new print queues for each of the printers on our old Windows 2003 server, installed curent drivers for each, and thought that all would be good.
The issue I am seeing is that our users who are printing to an HP Color LaserJet 3800 are getting letter spacing issues where some letters are crushed together and others are too widely spaced (see example above). I can print the same document to an HP Color LaserJet 3600 everything looks correct.
I have verified that the print server has the HP Color LaserJet 3800 driver that comes with Windows Server 2008 R2 and that the other printer is running the HP Color LaserJet 3600 driver. These are both probably the ones available through Windows Update. Finally, we have tested a solution where the Universal Print driver is intalled locally and that seems to work fine. However, I don't want to have drivers individually installed if I can help it.
Any ideas here?

This seems to be a commercial printer. For the best chance at finding a solution I would suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support.
You may find the Commercial Laserjet board here.

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.

Can't print with HP Color LaserJet dn2605

I haven't been able to print my HP Color LaserJet from Early 2008 Mac Pro using 10.9.4. I have attempted to print on the network and USB to no avail. I have deleted the printer, reset all printers and scanners. Once I delete or reset the printers, I always have to recycle/rebounce the printer so it can be found. Once found and I select it by the "Use" drop down, there are two(2) HP Color LaserJet 2605 profiles. I can select either one and sets-up the printer. Once I attempt to use the printer, the print job goes to the queue and few minutes later the printer starts initiating and sounds like that a paper is getting ready to move and it stops or quits. I then receive the yellow light a problem occurs, thats all the farther it goes. I have the latest printer driver update 19.9.. I also have reloaded the OS 3-4 times. Here is what I receive the print queue when it fails: "Stopped - Unable to write print data: Broken pipe".

That's sounding like a printer problem, not software.
But just in case, try deleting the HP folder from /Library/Printers, then Reset the Printing System and add the printer again.
OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system
If that doesn't work, use a browser and connect to your router, and see if you can identify the printer in "connected devices."
(a printer that changes IP address whenever there is some change on your local net will give symptoms like that)

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.

Cannot print pdf file using windows 7 64 bit and trial acrobat X

cannot print pdf files using trial version of Acrobat X and windows 7 64 bit prints all other files no problem.

Thanks for any help

I fixed this problem. I had to turn off the browser virtualization feature in Zone Alarm Extreme Security. This wiped out all of the Firefox settings, but I had bookmarks, etc. backed up. (answered by original poster)

Cannot print PDF with Adobe Reader 9.4.6 ?

I cannot print PDF files using Adobe Reader 9.4.6. OS is VISTA. Everytime I try to print a PDF file, I receive the following message - " Before you can perform print or related tasks such as page settings or printing you need to install a printer" I have a printer installed and can print word, excel files, etc. Cannot print any PDF files. Help!

Had you managed to print the same files, or are you talking about files you hadn't attempted to print? Are these PDF files forms that you are trying to fill and print in Reader?

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.

Cannot print PDF file with version 11.0.10 Adobe Reader.

Cannot print PDF file with version 11.0.10 Adobe Reader. Get error messages "This document could not be printed" and "There are no pages selected to print". I am using a Mac OS Ver 10.0.2. I see that this question has been asked by others recently, but no answers. Anyone have any suggestions?

Assuming you are running 10.10.2 and not the ancient 10.0.2, can you tell us what printer and printer driver you are using? How is the printer connected to the computer (network, usb)? See if you can delete the Reader preference files? Years ago I resetting the printer subsystem would sometimes cure a problem like this.
