Cs5 printing error

"The Adobe Print Engine has failed to output your data due to an unknown problem"
When printing my cs5 document, the default printer changes to a postscript file. When I export the file into a pdf file it will eventually print but takes several minutes.

Typically Xerox printers work fine with ID (I've got a Phaser 7800  that works flawlessly), but ID is not know for its printing abilities, and there are plenty of cases where InDesign and the printer driver just don't get along. HP and Ricoh models top the list.
This sounds like a driver issue, and if yo have a contract with Xerox I'd have them send a tech to see if they can figure out what needs to change, or export PDF and and print that instead -- that's the usual workaround for print failures from ID.

  • Printing Errors in CS5

    Hello All.
    I recently updated to CS5. Mac OS 10.6.6. Indesign 7.03.
    With many documents created in CS4 and then opened in CS5, I am getting an error printing: "Printing Error: The ASdobe Print Engine has failed to output your data due to an unknown error".
    In some documents, I was able to troubleshoot this by disabling printing on every element in the doc, one at a time, and when it printed, replaced that element.
    This is good for a document that has few elements. If it's a large document, I'm in big trouble.
    Also some documents just don't end up printing at all. I'm forced to export to PDF and print that. Pain, to say the least.
    And if I open the document (original version, without saving up to CS5) in CS4 again, they print perfectly.
    Anybody have any suggestions?
    Also, I noticed the export to .inx option is gone. Why?
    Thanx.

    What can I say? Code changes from version to version.
    Once upon a time I could run a car on leaded gasoline (I'm old), and in the not so distant past I could watch TV on my existing equipment without needing a digital converter box. Things change. Not always for the best.

  • PDF Print Error

    I have been using CS5 for the last two years to create a .indb file. I always export the book as a PDF and then send it to my printer. I recently had to change laptops and decided to give CC a try on the trial version. I used all the same content and images that I have always used to create the Indesign book. But when I exported the PDF and sent it to print, the printer came back saying that there was a print error and she was unable to print past certain pages. She could open the document and see everything but when she would try to print, a dialogue box would pop up saying there was an error.
    I am using a Macbook Pro. Any thoughts?

    We are experiencing similar issues. Have you tried saving the print file as postscript and then use Distiller to create the PDF.
    We are using older versions of distiller as a work around.
    We have some client's that print to a PDF server that are not experiencing this issue with CC publishing apps.
    We are continuing to evaluate the CC publishing functionality, we will report our findings once we have the facts.
    In the mean time, find work around's, get the jobs out and keep getting paid.

  • Hyperlinked Pages Generate Unknown Printing Error

    I'm working in a 300+ page catalog that I've never had problems with. Today it decided to give methe following error when trying to print or export to a PDF:
    "Printing Error: The Adobe Print Engine has failed to output your data due to an unknown problem."
    The error shows up when trying to print from seperate computers and from CS4 AND CS5. I've trouble shooted the advice found here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/332/332622.html but I think it's something else.
    The odd thing is that I can print and export to PDF pages without hyperlinks or cross-sreferences. It's only when I try to print a hyperlinked page that I get the error. The only change I've made since the last time it printed/exported properly is adding a couple hundred more cross-references.
    I'm on a tight deadline and right now I can't get my file out of InDesign. Anyone have ideas?

    This is interesting ...
    When I package the file and check everything off to be included it processes everything as it should EXCEPT it doesn't package the linked images. Then when I open the packaged copy of the document with broken image links I'm able to print ...
    So apparently the problem has to do with my images but it's only affecting pages with hyperlinks. This is weird.
    Well if that's the case open the images and do a save-as and see if they come good

  • HP LASERJET CP1525nw print error when printing online Gmail emails with Google Chrome

    HP LASERJET CP1525nw print error when printing online Gmail emails with Google Chrome. Extra large font sizes and weird formatting issues only when printing emails from Gmail within Chrome. No problems when printing the same email from Gmail+Internet Exolorer or Thunderbird. Using the IE Tab extension in Chrome prints the email correctly but the style of Gmail's message window is completely weird ie: formatting bar is spread out vertically instead of horizontally. I believe it is clear that this is an application specific issue between the HP LASERJET CP1525nw printer and Google Chrome + Gmail. This printing scenario does not occur when printing anything else or when printing via another printer. I would appreciate receiving any suggestions to solve this issue.
    OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64
    Browser: Google Chrome 15
    HP Print driver: HP Universal Print Driver for Windows PCL6 v5.4.0
    Printer is connected by WiFi to 4 computers

    Hi AbZu, 
    You need to contact Google Chromes technical support as this is only an issue with Chrome. You have indicated that the printer functions correctly everywhere else. Check out the link below for Google Chrome technical support. Let me know if you need additional assistance?

  • "Print Error Whilst Printing" when trying to print or save as PDF

    I don't understand why i can't just print - everytime it says Print error whilst printing whether i'm actually trying to save it or print it. I'm very new to using Macs - 3 days now so not used to how they work yet but i'm running Tiger 10.4.8 on an Intel Mac if anyone can help me please!

    Hello Dorin and thank you for your answer.
    Yes page 5 is a double page spread and this is not the only one in my book! I will modify the page 5 to see if the error message will appear at the next double page spread....
    Thanks again

  • HP Envy 4500 All in One - Printer Error - not finishing print job / non-specific error code

    Help - my new HP ENVY 4500 AIO (less 3 months old) has never completed a print job if it is over 1 page. I'm connected wirelessly, and not sure if there is an interruption in the wireless connection or if this is defect in the  printer. I receive a message "Printer Error - HP ENVY cancelling print job" and that's it. It will usually happen when it's on the last page of a small print job or half way thru a large (10+ page) of a print job.  Any suggestions? I've downloaded HP Print/Scan Dr - it didn't find any issues.

    I had the same issue. Got in contact with HP customer service and the first person that helped had no idea how to fix it.  Got in contact with someone else and they found the issue right away. I had it connected through the wrong port.
    First find out what the IP address of your printer is. You can do this by pressing the small wifi button on the front of your printer and it will show the IP address. 
    Then what you'll have to do is go to the start menu of your computer and search for "Devices and Printers".
    Click that and a screen will open. Look for your printer an right click.
    Click "Printer Properties" and a new screen will open.
    Along the top you will see a few tabs. Click the one that says "Ports"
    Click "Add Port"
    Highlight "Standard TCP/IP Port" by clicking on it, then click "New Port"
    A new screen will open.
    Click "Next"
    Type in the IP Address of your printer and click "Next"
    After that your computer should find your printer.
    Click finish and you should be all set.
    Hope this helps.

    Can be a permissions issue.
    Try giving the ASPNET account full control on Temp folder :

        . Go to the 'Security' tab and click the 'Add' button.              
        . Select the 'ASPNET'. Click 'ADD'. Click 'OK'.
        . Check 'Full Control' from 'Permissions for 'ASPNET'.

  • Getting printing error while issuing the excise invoice with cust. O/P type

    Hi,
    I have created a custom output type and form and tried to issue it with the transaction J1IS.  But it is always giving me error saying "Printing Error".  I checked and didn't find any error in the SAP Script.
    Thanks,
    srinivas.

    Hi,
    The error could be due to various reasons.A good starting point though would be to check if your page margins do not exceed the printer boundary.
    Regards,
    Neil.

  • I can not print from Firefox, but can from all other browsers and applications (such as MS Word, notepad, etc.). I get a print error on the printing monitor like it's a spooling problem.

    This is a recent development but I can not print anything from within Firefox. The print functions open normally, it is going to the correct printer which works..I can print from other browsers and applications. It acts like it is spooling and then a print error occurs and it won't print. I closed and reopened Firefox, opened it in safe mode, cleaned out history/cache/cookies, and rebooted twice. Nothing makes any difference. Also tried printing from the print preview which had the same result. I can print from all other browsers and applications without a problem so it must be within Firefox.

  • When I try to print something, my "documents library opens which creates a printing "error" .

    I have downloaded and installed the HP Drivers for my new windows 7 lap top in the windows programs and in the Mozilla program (fire fox). I can print without any problem from any of the windows programs but not from fir fox. As soon as I click on "print" in fire fox, my "Documents Library" page opens and a message comes up saying, "Unknown Printing error occurred while printing" and no printing occurs.

    Is your printer selected in Firefox? <br />
    Sounds like you may have a '''Print to file''' or other software printer selected in the '''Printer''' > '''Name''' box.

  • How can I print emails? Printing Error message that no printers are installed. (Printers are installed.)

    When I click File > Print, I get a Printing Error message that no printers are installed. Printers are installed. When I click Yes to install a new printer, I receive a new error message that "Windows can't open Add Printer / The local print spooler service is not running. Please restart the spooler or restart the machine." I updated to the new version of Thunderbird 24.6.0. Using Windows 8. I restarted the machine. I confirmed printers are installed using Control Panel. I do not see any way to restart a print spooler. How can I fix this? Thanks.

    The print spooler is a windows service and is required to print. I would hazard a guess you can not print with any application.
    What I am saying is I think your windows instalation has a problem, not Thunderbird.

  • "Printing: Error while printing" when I tries to Save - How?

    Since recently, whenever I tried to save a Pages document, Pages freezes for a few minutes, then show me a system message that says "Printing: Error while printing". I did not ask Pages to print anything! Please advice. Thank you very much.

    You have not provided exact system info, no details about your documents, your save locations nor even told us what version of PS, so nobody can even begin to guess.

  • 'Printing Error' error when trying to print in Safari

    Hello, I am running OSX Mavericks and ran into this problem tonight.  I have been using my new Macbook air for over a month and never had this problem happen at all.  Whenever I try to print something from a webpage Safari gives me the error ' Print error' and no other info.  No printing happens obviously.  I have deleted the printer and added it again, I have deleted the drivers and installed them again.  The only thing that seems to work is that if I restart the computer and try to print it will work 1 time and 1 time only.  Then I get the same print error warning.  Any ideas???  Thanks in advance!

    Linc, thanks for the help.  I have kind of figured it out...maybe.  I have never had this issue at all on any of my Macs (3).  Last night when this started to happen I was attempting to print some reviews off of Amazon (which i had never attempted before either).  So I would print one page of the review on first attempt no problem but then have to shut the computer off to be able to then print the next page of reviews.  I then tried to print off other sites and I had no problem.  I just now printed our convo above and it cabme out no problem and I can print PDF's and word documents no problem.  So it looks like maybe Amazon has something that stops you from printing their reviews maybe???  I had to save the review webpage as a PDF file and then print it, which worked.  So looks like Amazon does not want their reviews printed I guess.  Cheers for the help though!
