Crashes when printing from InDesign CS3

It used to be that when I tried to print in InDesignCS3 in my MAC 10.7.5; I would go to:  Crash printing | Illustrator, InDesign | CS3, CS4 | Mac OS 10.7
the I was told to just delete the following files:
[Hard Drive]/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/en.lproj
[Hard Drive]/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Zh_CN.lproj
[Hard Drive]/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Ja.lproj
[Hard Drive]/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/ko.lproj
[Hard Drive]/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Zh_TW.lproj
and everything worked out fine.  Now, the above files don't even exist. Is there a new work-around??????

Thank you for the quick reply. Unfortunately we have already tried in safe mode and the issue is still there. We have also disabled all addons, created a new test profile and uninstalled re-installed Thunderbird and all print drivers, and Thunderbird still crashes when you try to print an email. Customer is considering using a different email client if we cant figure this out soon.

  • Cant Print from InDesign CS3

    Hi All,
    We are having a hard time printing from InDesign. We are printing to a printer HP Color LaserJet 5550. Everytime we print these are the following we get
    -Out-of-Memory Error
    -Prints a Page with this
    ERROR: limitcheck
    OFFENDING COMMAND: image
    STACK:
    -will not print at all it will always says in the printer dialog PRINTING....
    we are on
    Mac OS X 10.5.6
    Adobe InDesign 5.0 and 5.0.2
    Intel Macintosh 4 GB RAM
    anyone having this issue? anyway to fix these?
    We are exporting the file to pdf and print it on Preview App since the Adobe Acrobat Prof will generate an error when printing pdf file the error are "Cannot Print the document" or "A drawing error occured"

    DYP,
    I have the orignal indesign files and has I think a lots of links with it and mostl less than a hundred pages on a single document and on each page there maybe lots of pictures and stuff could this be how the files are being created?
    Thanks for the link by the way.
    also pdf's created from this original files of indesign causes some entourage clients to freeze and hung up or crashes..
    any ideas?

  • Printer dialogue box hangs when printing from Illustrator cs3

    OK... I'm not sure if this is Illustrator related or mac related, but it only happens from Illustrator. In our office we have an iMac (white,flat) running Tiger (OSX 10.4.11). Whenever we try to print from Illustrator CS3 the preint goes through to the printer immediately and prints, but the actual Illustrator spooling bar/printer dialogue box remains. The only way is to wait for about half an hour for the bar to finish or force quit the application and restart (even though it does not show as "not responding" in the Force Quit window.
    Now I've tried reinstalling Illustrator. I've run disk warrior. Tried the fsck command on startup. our technical outsources tell us it might be a memory problem, but I'm not tsure as this only happens in Illustrator and no other programs.... any ideas?

    I can vouch for the dock hiding solution solving the problem. It worked on three Intel Macs we were having problems with. Here are some links to articles about it:

  • Print crash when printing from Mail or TextEdit, but not InDesign

    Hi,
    I'm unable to print from any application other than InDesign. Up to now I've tried Mac applications - Mail,TextEdit and Safari - and a third party application DevonThink. All crash the minute I hit command P.
    I suspect the trouble started when I installed a printer driver for a Canon IP90 bubble jet. I've now removed it from the print list, to no avail, but it might be lurking somewhere else. My usual printer is a Xerox Phaser 3450 PS.
    Has anyone else experienced the same and does anyone know how to fix this?
    Chris.

    Yes, today with Mac's First Aid from the installer disk - no problems identified. Permissions are also repaired every time I back up (daily) with Super Duper.
    I've had a response regarding other problems I'm having that it might be that as I have only 1.6 GB free capacity that this is maybe contributing to the problem. But why the difference between InDesign and Mac applications is a bit of a mystery.
    Thanks for your response.
    Chris.

  • Ligatures drop out when printing from ID CS3 to a PS3 printer

    Just got a new Dell 5110cn and this issue is driving me nuts.
    InDesign CS3, Vista 64-bit. Am using the PS3 driver for the 5110cn, not the PCL driver.
    I have disabled device font substitution in the driver. I have gone into the font substitution table and set everything to "Don't Substitute."
    When I print directly from ID CS3, the "fi" ligatures in words like "certificate" or "verification" drop out.
    The font in question is "Times".
    If I Export the document to PDF, the ligatures view fine and print fine from the PDF.
    Illustrator-created EPS files with the word "certificate" that are then dropped into ID CS3 print fine when printed direct.
    I can print MS Word documents that have the word "certificate" in Times directly to the printer and those print fine (but for all I know, Word isn't using the same ligature method).
    While this is a new printer, the behavior apears to be isolated to InDesign (printing direct from Adobe Illustrator is fine as well).
    What gives???

    Gah!
    Why the hell is that disabled by default???
    The other way I fixed it was to change from "Times" to "Times New Roman" and that worked (even without the Download PPD Fonts option checked).
    Thanks!

  • Distiller crash when printing from air 3.2

    I have a problem with the new air runtime 3.2 when printing to pdf. For some reason when printing an movieclip through the pdf printer. It crashes.
    -What i've tried so far.
    Updated the air runtime // dev kit in flash builder. Changed the app xml and recompiled.
    Removed the PDFX4 2008.joboptions (Suggested in some forums)
    Tried to set the transparancy option to none (somewhere in the joboptions file).
    What is odd, it works perfectly with the old air runtime engine 3.1. But after updating to air 3.2 it crashes.
    This was the error message, it probably has something to do with text/embedded fonts (pure graphics seem to wordk). But i'm not sure. The error from the log file :
    Acrobat Distiller 9.5
    Started: maandag 2 april 2012 at 7:54:13
    Adobe PostScript software version: 3018.101
    CID support library initialization completed.
    Adobe PDF Settings file read error in PDFX4 2008.joboptions:
    /CheckCompliance out of range
    Acrobat Distiller 9.5
    Started: maandag 2 april 2012 at 7:57:32
    Adobe PostScript software version: 3018.101
    CID support library initialization completed.
    Adobe PDF Settings file read error in PDFX4 2008.joboptions:
    /CheckCompliance out of range
    I tried it with acrobat 8 (also worked with air 3.1)
    %%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
    %%[ Error: syntaxerror; OffendingCommand: --nostringval-- ]%%
    Stack:
    /GraphInit
      %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
    %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%

    I seem to have solved my own problem (will need some further testing but for now it is working). For some reason the display object that has to be printed needs to visible on the stage. So constructing an (sprite/movieclip with classic textfields) in memory and sending it directly as a printjob resolves into a crash. But if you attach it to the display/stage before sending the printjob, the problem seems to be resolved. Maybe this is the same reason why a printed sprite/movieclip gets corrupted after printing.

  • Jagged edges on text when printing from InDesign

    When I print text from InDesign, it prints with rough edges. This happens with text created in InDesign or imported from Photoshop. I can export the same image to a PDF though and it prints perfectly from Acrobat.

    Well, I'd say that you should just do your printing from Acrobat.
    ID is not really all that good at printing direct to a printer, and it won't print properly at all to some common ones (mostly HP and Ricoh, but not all of either). Are you printing for proofs or final output? I strongly advise printing proofs from the same PDF files that you will be sending out, anyway, and PDFs tend to process faster in the printer than native InDesing files, so you often can shorten the time it takes to get output by exporting to PDF, even including the time it takes to export (plus, export is a background task so you can continue to work in ID, but printing direct ties up the application).

  • "transparent" bounding boxes appear when printing from InDesign and Acrobat

    Hi. I have encountered a problem with both CS4 and CS5 InDesign and Acrobat 9.0. Mac OS 10.5.8. When I print (artwork flattened before I create PDF with standard "Press Quality" from InDesign or Adobe Illustrator default from Illustrator) lighter areas that are rectangular shaped will appear on the color print. We use a rip and this appears to happen randomly. I have spent considerable time troubleshooting this...I have used every work around I can think of—to no avail.
    1. What is this?
    2. Why is this happening?
    3. Is there technical information out there to help me get rid of it?
    Thanks so much!

    Solid areas of lighter color. I am not sure if our rip can handle live transparency. It is a Fiery 8e Release 2. I tried a solution from a previous post that suggested de-selecting the Pantone match option when I print and that did work.
    The PDF's are high res. It has even happened on some PDF's that were created through Distiller as high res. I have seen this at the print shop I work at and also at the college where I teach design.
    Thanks so much for your quick response.

  • Firefox crashes when printing from the web.

    Mac user with OS 10.4.11 (Tiger). Have had repeated problems with Firefox in all versions crashing when trying to print from the web or using print preview before printing. Currently have Frefox v3.6.16 for MAC. Am printing to an HP 1315 AIO and HP 1210 AIO printers. Very irritating! Can copy paste web stuff to Word and print OK. Problem went away with OS 10.6 and Firefox 4 on my new MAC.

    Inconclusive Evidence, I have tried all of your recommendations with no success. I can print with any other applications, just not Firefox, so I know it is not a problem with my driver. I'm stuck as to what to do at this point. Any other tips? Thanks for your help!

  • Word, Safari, etc crash when printing from HP C4780

    I recently reinstalled (fresh install) Leopard 10.5.8 on my iMac PPC; works fine.  Then installed an HP C4780 printer for use on that Mac.  No drivers for that printer exist on the basic Leopard install, so I installed the HP drivers from CD (also tried downloading updated ones from the HP site).  the install goes fine, and I can print a test page.  I am guessing this has nothing to do with it being a PPC, which is why I'm posting this question also on the iMac/Intel threads.
    However, whenever I try to print (or print preview) a page from anything else (e.g. Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Safari, Firefox), the application that I'm trying to print from crashes.  Every time.  I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers to no avail.
    I'm out of ideas now.  Does anyone have a clue on this one?
    Thanks
    Dennis

    The HP website lists drivers specifically for 10.4, 10.5 & 10.6 - is that the set you installed? Since that driver lists 10.4 as being compatible it must be PPC compatible because Tiger predates Intel Macs. You have several Macs listed in your profile, what happens if you try to print share through another computer. Does the computer crash when you try to print then?

  • Thunderbird crashes when printing from mac.

    Thunderbird crashes every time an email is attempted to be printed. All printing drivers are up to date, Mac OSx is up to date, thunderbird is up to date. Printing works from every where else on the mac just not from thunderbird.

  • Adobe Reader Crashes when printing from HP 3000

    I have tried printing an PDF document using version 9,  8, 7, 6 and it will the first 6 of 20 pages then crashes. Has anyone else had this problem if so did you find a fix?
    thanks
    Paul

    sorry will not be able to attach the pdf file - The file isn't damaged as it will print from other printers as  they all use the same print drivers as they print through a print server.
    I have also attached to the printer off-line and used new printer drivers from HP and it still fails 20 page pdf and stops at page 9 saying cannot extract correct font.
    the file was created in Quark express ver 8.
    It is happening to a handfull of people

  • Print quality poor on bitmap logos when printing from InDesign

    We have a studio of MACs. One of them prints this indesign document fine, the quality of the bitmap images looks like it does on screen.
    On all the other MACs printing to the same Printer the bitmap logos on the same document print out with really poor quality.
    Any ideas ?? This is driving me mad as have checked the printer settings and it appears they match the working MAC.
    Dont think its a driver thing as all other documents and anything other than bitmap logos print fine.

    They have said the following regarding the file type ...... They are saved as tif files but in photoshop they are converted to Bitmap under the Image>Mode>Bitmap option

  • Blurry images when printed from indesign

    having problems with only some images in an indesign document. all images are placed and the original files are perfectly crisp pdfs...tried changing the display performance but still appearing and printing blurry? when i click f8 on the image it doesn't show any ppi at all- not sure if this means something?
    please help!!
    thanks, chrissy

    it could also have something to do with the fact i'm having to swap computers to print the file- i'm going to try taking all the links with me and relinking the ones that are apprearing blurry to see if that helps
