CS3 document won't print in CS5

I created an InDesign document in CS3 in Windows and opened it in CS5 on the Mac. It looks fine but when I attempt to print it, the dialog box does not appear. I can open and print other documents but this one doesn't want to cooperate. Anyone have any ideas?

Hm, simultaneuous cross-platform and cross-version conversion. Typically these conversions are not problematic for printing but You Never Know. I habitually export INX from CS3 and open the INX in the newer version of ID - fewer composition problems that way. Likewise, saving the newly-opened file, exporting IDML, and re-opening the IDML in CS5 is another way to handle typical cross-version file conversion balkiness.
Can you export a PDF and print that?

Appleworks document won't print on my emac

I can get my emac computer to print from the internet as well as scan and print. For some reason it won't print from a basic appleworks word processing document. In the print box, I get " Unable to open the printer connection". I'm confused, I connect to print from the internet, why won't it print from appleworks. I know nothing about printer connections. I realize my computer is referred to as "vintage". It worked just fine and all of a sudden it quit printing. What did I do wrong? I NEED HELP !!! I have wedding invitations I need to send out ASAP and I am getting nervous. Thanks to anyone who gives me a quick response.

Hi p-h,
That quick post was a workaround that I thought would let you print right away.
What might cure the problem is deleting AppleWorks's preferences files. See this post by Peggy in the User Tips library for details.

The last page of every pdf document won't print.

If I ask to print just one page - nothing. If I ask for two pages, I get the first page. Help. Using Mac OSX 10.9.5 and Adobe 11.0.09
I tried printing using an older version of Adobe, had the 'won't print last page problem' so I upgraded to the latest version. Still the same exact problem. Does anyone have suggestions?

I have the same problem, but not just in Acrobat. Indesign also. So... I can't print a single page. Have to print two, and toss the one I don't want. Seems to be a problem with Adobe print interface. I can sometimes "trick" it by going to system print dialog box and back out again.

10.6.7 won't print from CS5

I went through hours of troubleshooting and was finally able to print a jpeg from CS5 by going to File/Print in CS5, select Print Settings in the middle column. That opens the Apple print dialogue box and I select Color/Quality Options and change the RGB Color to Device. After that, I was able to print fine even after changing it back to the original settings.
I hope helps someone else...

I spent hours troubleshooting with Adobe and Apple with this very issue. And I think I found a resolution doing my own troubleshooting...
From CS5 go to File/Print and the Adobe print dialogue box opens. In the middle is a field to select Print Settings, under Copies. Select Print Settings which will open the Apple print dialogue box. Hold down the Layout field and a list opens. Select Color/Quality Options and change RGB Color to Device.
Doing this seems to reset something because I was finally able to print! And returning to the original settings seems to work again too. So, it's almost like resetting the print function from Photoshop. Although I hate to say it, seems the issue was with OS 10.6.7
I hope this is helpful to someone else.

Large cs3 document won't open in cs6

Good morning,
I have a 1.3gb catalogue that was created in InDesign cs3. I have now got cs6 and have tried to open the file but it keeps freezing on "converting data".
On the odd occasion it crashes the pc almost instantly, on others it just seems to freeze or be making small progress for hours before eventually crashing the pc.
The current scenario has the document being opened for 8hrs and it is about 30% along the progress bar.
Is there anyway that I can improve the performance of this conversion?
I am working on a windows pc with vista 64bit (which works with other documents fine), running with 6gb ram.
Look forward to any advice.

I can't find anyone with cs3 to open the file, we have a cs4 within the business but again with no joy in opening the file.
A friend of mine has an old cs3 from their student days but I assume it won't let me activate the licence as it as a student / teacher licence and it probably was not deactivated from their old system, and I guess also it's just not the right thing to do...
I have the file in PDF which could be a solution, albeit meaning I lose the edit ability of the old pages, but at least I can use these along side some new pages.
otherwise there's going to be alot of work to replicate this old file in a newer version of ID.
thanks for all your comments, I will let you know how I fair

Documents won't print, although there is no problem with Explorer

Documents that I try to print from a web page go into the printer queue, but won't actually print (eg a flight ticket or a portfolio summary). The document will print perfectly if I use Explorer.

Interchange CS3 documents won't open in CS (3.0.1)

I have InDesign CS (PC platform) upgraded to 3.0.1, so it's supposed to be capable of reading Interchange documents. My associate has CS3 (MAC platform). He obtained a plugin to make Interchange files backwards compatible. He created several documents for me, saved them as .inx files and sent them to me, but I keep getting an error message that says they're not InDesign Interchange files.
He can open them on his own machine. I can't open them in my older version. And according to the Adobe website, only CS2 is backwards compatible with CS. Any suggestions short of spending more money on something that should work without upgrading?
Thanks.
Sandra

Yeah, it's my understanding that the Interchange files are only backwards-compatible by one version number.
However, I saw this trick listed for saving from CS4 to CS2. Perhaps it would work from CS3 to CS (no ideas, but you could try it):

Good luck.

Word document won't 'print' to PDF on proper paper size

I have a document in MS Word that's on a 5.5x8.5 page size. If I do a Save As, the resulting PDF uses the proper paper size, but it also shows color--which I don't want for this particular document.
When I do Print and choose Adobe PDF, I can choose Black/white which is great, but I'm struggling to get it to use the right paper size. I've tried ever combination I can think of in the Default Setting and Adobe PDF Page Size options, but can't get it to show anything but 8.5x11.
Any thoughts on how to get the right paper size using Print to PDF?

Is this a Word document generated by Adobe's RoboHelp product or just a document generated directly in Word?
If the latter, you are asking in the wrong place. Even if you are using RoboHelp, this looks more like a question to ask in the Acrobat forums.

My interactive InDesign CS 5 document won't print.

It is a 20 page document with three videos in it. Every time I select print, ID shuts down. Anyone have an idea?

I can't help you too much with Windows crashes, sorry.
Have you tried the top two recommendations, though? Trash your Preferences (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/526990)
and round-trip the document through IDML to remove corruption (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/526991)

Suddenly placed EPS images in document won't print

Recently I had to do a clean reinstall of the Mac OS to clear up some problems. I backed up all my files and applications before doing so, so I could move AppleWorks back onto my Mac from the backup.
Now I am trying to print out an existing document from AppleWorks that has two placed EPS images in it. The only thing that prints is some text I have typed directly into the document. The document prints blank where the EPS images are supposed to be.
To narrow down whether it was a problem with my printer or not, I chose the print command and then chose "save as PDF." The resulting PDF file is also blank were the EPS images are supposed to be, seemingly pointing to a problem with AppleWorks. I tried deleting and then reinserting the EPS images but this did not solve the problem.
Thoughts on how I can correct this are appreciated.

Whe you move AppleWorks from one machine to anothe (or back onto the same machine) you need to move the entire AppleWorks 6 folder and all of its contents.
After doing so, you should delete the AppleWorks preferences files. You will need to do this for each user account on the machine.
Go to username > Library > Preferences
Locate and delete the file com.apple.appleworks.plist
Still in the Preferences folder, locate and open the folder AppleWorks.
From that folder, delete the following files:
AppleWorks 6 Assistant Prefs
AppleWorks 6 Assistants Cache
AppleWorks 6 Preferences
AppleWorks 6 Translators Cache
If you have made changes to the Button Bar, and have experienced NO problems associated with the Button Bar, it is likely safe to leave the file AppleWorks 6 Button Bars where it is. Otherwise delete it as well.
AppleWorks will create new copies of these files as they are needed.
Then use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions on your startup drive. You'll find Disk Utility in the Utilities folder in your Applications folder.

Image made on CS5 W7 64 computer won't print with CS5 XP computer – Epson 9880

I have 2 computers with CS5. One is new, with Windows 7 64. The other is XP. My printer is Epson 9880, which is connected to the XP computer. The computers are networked, but I only print from the XP computer. On my XP computer, I have opened a file created in the W7 64 computer, and am trying to print it. I am getting this message:
"The saved printer information is not compatible with this version of Photoshop, or the saved printer is no longer available. You will need to check your printer settings before printing." Then, when the print dialogue box appears, the Printer Profile box is greyed out.
Any suggestions on fixing this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Ellen

Also, the XP computer is 32Bit. Could this be a problem?
No that I see. I run CS5 on both XP 32bit and Win7 64bit on the same hardware, I switch out hard drive to boot to each OS, and all my image files are on a different hard drive that is always in the system and I can print any image edited in either OS from either OS.
the only thing I can think of is the Win7 install of CS5 is saving the Printer info with the file and when you bring that file over to XP, you are copying that file over to the XP PC and not just accessing it across the network, it is still looking for whatever printer info was saved on the Win 7 PC.
Please open and RE-SAVE that file on the XP PC. Then try printing.

Word documents won't print after upgrade

I upgraded my G4 Cubefrom OS9.2.2 to Panther successfully. I also upgraded to a new printer. When I try to print documents created in my old system on OS9 in microsoft Word, they open up OK in Classic, but the print click brings up the old printer. How do I select the new printer? The printer works fine with old Appleworks documents. Also, will my very old 1998 Word programme work in OSX or will I continue to need Classic for it to function? Any thoughts would be most welcome. Thanks.

You must install an OS 9 printer driver for the new printer and remove the driver for the old printer.
The version of Word that you have is an OS 9 only version. You can use it while running OS X via the Classic emulation but the program will not run natively in OS X. For that you will need to upgrade to an OS X version.
If you plan to continue using OS X you will need to upgrade all your old software to OS X versions including AppleWorks (6.2.9 upgrade is available for owners of AW.)

Documents won't print in Classic mode

My machine is running OS 10.3.9. I have two programs on this machine that require classic to run and I can't print from either program. I get a Laserwriter 8 error -5751. I have used these same two programs on OS 10.2.8 and they print with no problem. I have tried printing to an HP LaserJet 4200 and a HP Color LaserJet 4500. I have updated my printer driver and re-installed Laserwriter 8. Does anyone have any ideas?

This may or may not be your problem,but
It depends on how you are set up.
I have the printer set up utility for OS9 in Classic
And I also have the same in OSX.
I have an older HP that I downloaded from the disk to OS9 and the exact same in OSX.
Be sure that when you download any updates or upgrades from HP's site they are in the correct Operating Systems folders, for the printer to work in both..
OS9 or Classic drivers and setup will not work in OSX. Likewise the same is true of OSX to Classic or OS9.. Sometimes it can get a little silly but you can make it work...Don

Word 2010 document with images won't print to HPLJ5550 printers

It prints fine on black and white printers (HP 4250). It's a 25-page document with images on almost every page. The file size in Explorer shows the document is 3.2mb. The printer queue window shows its 2.27mb/415 mb.
I've tried to figure this out.
I sent the same document to four different HPLJ5550 printers. All the same problem.
I sent it to other printer models and it works fine.
I sent it from different computers. Same results.
I turned off background printing. I disabled advanced printing. I PDF'd it and it still wouldn't print.
The issue is that we are moving to Office 2010 in May and I am responsible for training everyone. But, I can't print my training materials on 90% of our printers (HPLJ5550). Gack. What will this be like when we have all our employees trying to print and documents won't print.
This has happened with other Word 2010 documents too. I thought it may have been the fonts in the styles. So I changed the styles to use Times New Roman and Arial. Didn't help.
I made new styles, not based on any other style, and used TNR and Arial. Didn't help.
I save the file back to Word 2003. Didn't help.
I can, however, print the file fine on the one Dell 5100 color printer we have. But, that's not going to work when we have 700 users trying to print to their HPLJ5550 printers (the company default printer for all our locations).
I would appreciate any suggestions you have. Right now I have had to go back to using Word 2003 to create the training documents for Word 2010 classes - totally not acceptable.Ugh.
Thank you!

I am using BB ZZ10, and my laptop has Kaspersky Anti Virus installed in Windows 7, as mentioned in the forum, i have stopped my AV, and installed the PrintToGo and still it is not working.
I get a small window asking for my blackberry ID and Password, once i enter it correctly it give a error message, stating that cannot connect to internet or DNS not found when all other browser pages are able to connect.
if i enter wrong password it shows password wrong and then asks for correct password, only if i give correct password it shows the error message which is a typical Internet explorer error message.

Envy 4502 all in one won't print from Windows XP

I just set up and successfully installed the software for my Envy 4502 on an old PC running Windows XP. The internal test page comes out fine, but when I send a document it appears very briefly in the print queue then disappears and the document won't print. Any ideas. I've tried all the stuff that the HP Doctor suggests, uninstalling then reinstalling etc.

Hi @Sianeo
Welcome to the HP Forums. I would be happy to help you print from your Windows XP operating system to your Envy 4502 printer. I understand your print jobs seem to be disappearing from the print queue.
What stuff did you try already? WHat did the Print and Scan Doctor suggest?
Please try bypassing the spooler to see if you can print directly to the printer.
1. Click on start and go to devices and printers.
2. Right click on the printer and click on printer properties.
3. Choose the option "Print directly to the printer".
4. Click apply and then ok.
If this works follow the next steps and try to print again.
Hold down the Windows Logo key () on the keyboard and the 'R' to open the run box
Type services.msc and press Enter
Locate Print Spooler and double click on it to open the Spooler properties
Make sure startup type is set to Automatic, if it is not please click on the drop down and choose Automatic
Under Service status, please Stop the server, and then wait a moment and click Start
If bypassing the spooler does not result in a successful print, let me know. Please post back to let me know if the issue is resolved, if bypassing the spooler led to a successful print, and what steps you had performed prior to posting on the forums. Thanks.
Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.
