Cannot print with authentication from acrobat pro on osx

My company has a printer that requires authentication in the form of a 5 digit "account code", which is entered into the print driver installed on my laptop (OSX 10.9).  My printer service company has saved the account code in my print driver so that whenever I submit a print job it is sent to the printer with the account code and the job prints properly.  If a print job is submitted without an account code then the job is rejected and never prints.
Adobe Acrobat Pro NEVER uses the default printer settings that I have set up on my computer.  Which means that most of the time when I print from adobe acrobat the print job is rejected.  If I click on the "printer..." button to access the print driver then my default settings show up and my account code is included with my print job but that NEVER happens automatically, which means that EVERY TIME I print something I have to remember to bring up my print driver and verify the settings.  This is very inconvenient and is unnecessary with any other piece of software I use.
I have updated to the most recent print driver for my device.
I have updated to the most recent version of my operating system.
I have updated to the most recent version of adobe acrobat pro.
I am able to print from every other application on my computer without any additional steps.
I am able to open a pdf in preview and print without any additional steps but when I open the same pdf in adobe acrobat my print job is rejected. 
Please provide a way to use default system printer settings without additional steps with printing from adobe acrobat pro.

I have the same issue as you Dan. I have 2 Macs, one running Acrobat 9 which has no issue so it seems to be the most recent version causing this issue. It is annoying for the person printing it, especially when it's only in the one application

    does anybody have the same issue?

    Have you tried going back to the default print settings in the Print dialog under the Advanced button and select Acrobat Default under the Settings dropdown?

    I cannot print a PDF from Adobe Acrobat Pro or Adobe Reader.  I tried on both MacBook Pros we have here, both now with Mavericks.  Error message says "Opening printer connection failed.  Unable to open printer connection . . . "  This is after it says sending data, printing, shows the percentages etc., but then at the end I get the error message above.  I can print a PDF (same one) from Preview, but not from Acrobat!  What's going on?  Never had this issue before Mavericks . . .

  • Can't Duplex print from Acrobat Pro 9.3.2 to Epson Artisan 800

    I can not duplex Print from Acrobat Pro 9.3.2 to an Epson Artisan 800.
    I an running it from a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.6.3
    I called Epson support and they could not help me.
    However they suggested that I try using Adobe Reader.
    Well that works OK if I choose to print the document as an image, but I would prefer to just be able to work within Acrobat Pro.
    Does anyone outthere have any settings within Acrobat Pro that would enable duplex printing?

  • HUGE BUG printing Booklet from Acrobat Pro 11.0.10

    I spent an hour chatting with Adobe support in India. They could not solve this issue.
    I submitted a BUG REPORT at Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
    Here is the BUG Report:
    ******BUG******
    Concise problem statement:
    Steps to reproduce bug:
    1. Export individual pages from InDesign as pdf (16-page booklet, each individual page is 5-1/2" x 8-1/2")
    2. Open pdf in Acrobat Pro 11.0.10
    3. Choose actual size, then choose booklet, and print. (printer contains letter-size paper, and page set-up is set to 100% scale.)
    Results: The printed booklet is the WRONG SIZE! The pagination is correct as usual, but each individual page is being REDUCED, and now each page image is too small, and there is now a GAP between pages, and the entire booklet is useless. If you can, please see case number: 0186447426: support chat: it covers everything we have tried so far ... (We tried everything they could think of, but all attempts failed.) This bug was introduced somewhere along the line with Yosemite.
    Expected results: As usual, when printing booklets from Acrobat Pro, we expect the print to be the right size, the same size as the InDesign doc, and as it has been printed previously by Acrobat Pro prior to Yosemite. Thanks for fixing this disaster of a bug. Please contact me if you need further info, copies of the individual page pdf, etc.
    I am literally stuck. I can go through the laborious process of using InDesign to "print booklet" to a postscript file and use Distiller to make the booklet pdf, but under Yosemite, I am prevented from installing print drivers unless that printer is locally available on my network. Unfortunately, the printer is located at my client's place of business.
    I realize there is typically a leap-frog effect between operating system updates, hardware, and application updates, but combined with other Yosemite issues, this Acrobat Pro bug is killing my business.

    DrStrik9 (sounds a bit poisonous to me!),
    The issue, regrettably, is that Acrobat is performing as designed. And it has nothing to do with either MacOS 10.10 or anything new or different with Acrobat 11.0.10 (versus earlier versions going all the way back to the initial implementation of the booklet printing feature). And this isn't directly a printer driver issue, either! The same behaviour occurs both on MacOS and Windows.
    The problem, simply stated, is that the Booklet print option in Acrobat (and Reader) is attempting to avoid loss of content due to the paper's non-printable margins. The scaling factors in the Size print option are not utilized at all in the Booklet print option. The Booklet print option attempts to fit two logical pages of your PDF file into the printable area of each physical sheet of paper. Assuming that your printer's Letter page is defined as having a printable area of 8"x10.5" due to a 0.25" non-printable area surrounding the page, then the Booklet print option will force each of the 5.5"x8.5" pages of your PDF file into a  5.17'x8" area centered on each half of the 8.5"x11" printed sheet.
    There are three workarounds that I know of:
    (1)    Many high end printers have booklet printing capabilities in the printer or printer driver itself. Check the detailed driver options to see whether in fact your printer / printer driver does support a booklet printing option. If so, try that first. That would likely solve your problem.
    (2)    Assuming that this is a PostScript printer, edit the .PPD file for the printer you are using to to modify the specification of the Letter printable area. In the PPD file, you will see an entry similar to this:
        *ImageableArea Letter/Letter: "18 18 594 774"
    or
        *ImageableArea Letter/US Letter: "18 18 594 774"
    Edit the entry to change only the four numbers as follows:
        *ImageableArea Letter/Letter: "0 0 612 792"
    That indicates to the PostScript driver that there is no unprintable border on your pages. Then save the .PPD file. I would then suggest rebooting and then trying to print. Note that the side effect of this is that Fit and Shrink oversized pages options will not take into account the non-printable area of your printer.
    Note that a similar hack can be done with Ledger (i.e. 11"x17") page descriptions in the PPD to fix a similar issue affecting printing 8.5"x11" pages to 11"x17" sheets as booklets.
    (3)    There are some very reliable third party plugins for Acrobat that provide full advanced document imposition capabilities, creating what are known as printer flats as a new PDF file from your logical pages. There are n-up, booklet, step-and-repeat, etc. options galore in such packages. Examples include Quite Imposing and PDF Snake. I have personally used Quite Imposing for nearly 15 years for this purpose and can vouch that it works beautifully. I don't have personal experience with PDF Snake, although it is less expensive.
    Good luck and let us know if any of this helps you at all!

  • Printing difference from acrobat pro or acrobat reader

    Hi,
    I noticed when i maken pdf files from inDesign ansd print from my computer the fonts are printed fine and sharp (from acrobat pro) but when other people are printing the documents from the reader version the fonts aan kinda blurred and grainy..
    I first thought fonts were nog embedded right, but that's not the issue.. The pdf says it's embedded just fine, and eve with the font installed locally it doesn;t make a difference..
    For the rest the computers are installed the same and printer settings are equal. The only difference is i have installed the CS5 package on my machine and the rest doesn't.
    Is there a difference when printing from the acrobat reader?

  • Cannot print double-sided from Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.1.2

    Cannot print double-sided from Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.1.2
    Problem limited to Adobe Acrobat, MS Office 2008, Pages, Keynote.
    Can print double-sided from Safari and Mac Mail
    Using HP Color LaserJet 2605dtn. Have downloaded most recent driver from HP
    Computer: Apple MacPro Tower, 6GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM, Quad-Core Intel Xeon, Processor speed = 3.2 GHz

    Correct way to install new driver is go to Printer Utility and delete That printer from the list.
    Then install the new driver.
    Then go back to Printer Utility and add the new driver Back
    Then go to systems preferences and to Print Fax (or Printer if no longer setup for fax) and set up for the the printer and set as default.
    This way you shouldn't have to go into either print menu or Page setup menu and set for desired printer.
    most hp printer in the pint menu you click copies and pages and mouse down to two sided pages you choose either book (facing pages) or Tablet (printed as you would a Tablet that's bound at the top.
    you need to test a two page document to see which does correctly for you. Its best never to have the application set for two sided. in fact if you have set for two sided in both one counter acts the the other.
    So set it only in the printer menu and no where else.
    Also once you set up you can save printer profiles that you can go back to click on the Presets button mouse down to very bottom save with a anme you can remember even put the words two-sided in title then save. Then you can go to that preset and print your heart out.

  • I cannot print in color from my MacBook Pro

    I cannot print in color from my MacBook Pro to my hpdeskjet 6122

    hi FalconMom,
    EWS stands for Embedded Web Server.  You will be able to access the printer EWS if it is connected to the same network as your PC or notebook.  Here are the instructions to connect to EWS.
    Open the embedded Web server
    You can access the embedded Web server via either the network or Wi-Fi Direct.
    To open the embedded Web server via network
    NOTE: The printer must be on a network and must have an IP address. The IP address for the
    printer can be found by pressing the Wireless icon or by printing a network configuration page.
     In a supported Web browser on your computer, type the IP address or hostname that has been assigned to the printer.   For example, if the IP address is 192.168.0.12, type the following address into a Web browser:
    http://192.168.0.12.
    To open the embedded Web server using Wi-Fi Direct
     From the Home screen, touch (Wireless) and then touch (Settings).
     If the display shows that Wi-Fi Direct is Off, touch Wi-Fi Direct and then switch it on.
     From your wireless computer, turn wireless on, search for and connect to the Wi-Fi Direct name,
    for example: DIRECT-**- HP Officejet-5740 (where ** are the unique characters to identify your
    printer). Enter the Wi-Fi Direct password when prompted.
     In a supported Web browser on your computer, type the following address: http://192.168.223.1.
    I am an HP employee, but I am speaking for myself.

  • Cannot print with Cannon LBP5000 and Timecapsule

    So I've read that the Cannon LBP5000 is not compatible after all with Time Capsule.  Due to the CAPT Driver being bi-directional.  I do not accept this as a resolution and feel that Apple cannot simply push this aside.  My reason for that is this.
    I was printing fine, with both my MBP and Air via a USB cable to my Cannon LBP5000 - great.
    I then decided to go wireless printing.  And bought a HP 2101nw print server for £30.  I could then print wirelessly - fab!
    I then decided to upgrade my MBP to Lion.  I then could no longer print on that machine. Air still fine - pants.
    I then had to (for other support reasons) upgrade my Air to Lion, to fix something else.  I could no longer print from their either - bugger.
    After much passing of bucks and research, I found out the HP 2101nw driver is not Lion compatible, nor do Apple or HP have any intention of fixing that.  I was told to discard that wireless print server for something compatible with Lion - cheers.
    I then bought a 2TB TimeCapsule. And found I couldnt print from that either for the lame reason I quoted at the start.
    If this print worked wirelessley with a £30 print server on Snow Lepoard, why is it acceptable for it to not work on a £249 device.  The printer hasnt changed, but it seemed a £30 solution is able to handle this 'Bi-Directional' impediment where the mighty TimeCapsule gives up.
    What a load of tosh - really, really unimpressed Apple. Take ownership and responsiblity for something for once and fix the exceptionally painful transistion you pushed us through with Lion.

  • Is there any way to "Print to PDF" from Acrobat?

    In Windows, you can open a PDF in Acrobat and print it to a PDF.  This isn't behavior isn't available in the Mac version—trying to use "Save as PDF" and "Save as Adobe PDF" both produce the following error message:
    Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save.
    Is there any way to print to a PDF from Acrobat Pro X on a Mac (running Snow Leopard)?
    Note: There's a utility to being able to print from a PDF to PDF (which I why I suspect it's available in the Windows version), so "You're doing it wrong—just Click File > Save" would not be a very helpful response.  I'm sure there are other uses for the functionality, but in my case in particular I need to split each page of a scanned PDF in which each page contains two pages of the original document.  Printing to a PDF provides an easy way to do this, but I'm open to a more appropriate solution if it's available.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Adobe removed the ability to "refry" (make a PDF from a PDF) several versions ago.
    what you need is to go to document and choose Remove (delete) pages (if it’s a duplicate Page)
    You can also extract pages, add pages and so on. See this:

  • I have Mavericks installed. Cannot print with IPhoto because there are no themes

    I cannot print with IPhoto because it says that I do not have themes. How do I install themes? JL

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
    For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    *Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • Cannot print with hp 2600n through network

    I installed Leopard on my two month old Imac(latest model) with no real glitches and thought all was fine until I tried printing with my HP color laserjet 2600n through my network.
    I get my network showing up as guest sharing(not logging me in under my name) and even though I could print fine with Tiger, I cannot print with Leopard. The request shows up in the print queue but does not print.
    Any advice would be appreciated. I was never prompted before for a password everytime I printed and was always logged in to my network and not a guest sharing before. I know I'm missing something here but everything else transferred over fine from Tiger but the printer is a mystery.
    Thank you for any help,
