It says The Document Cannot Be Printed No Pages have been selected to print

How come when I try to print a PDF file it takes a long time to flatten and then says "The Document Cannot Be Printed" and then "No Pages have been selected to print"

What is your operating system? Reader version?

An original document cannot be printed twice error

Hi All,
Here is the thing, I am on SAP B1 2007A PL 45. I have draft Incoming Payments. Now, I choose the Payment Drafts Report and from there, I click on the relevant payment draft to highlight it. Then I click Print to print a receipt for that payment.
I choose my printer and then click on Print. The error message, "An original document cannot be printed twice. In the Print Preferences window, choose to print a single copy only." appears and nothing is printed.
The problem is, I used to be able to do this in version 2005A PL 46. I am aware of note number 1262165 but this note is not relevant to me as I have not set for the receipt to be printed once added. Any solutions to this? Thanks.

Gordon,
I refer to the note and the problem is, for me, I have not added the document and in 2005A, I could print the receipt when I select the particular payment in the draft window. In 2007A now, I can't.
In any case, I was referring to the temporary solution which was in the link posted by Jeyakanthan A above and I needed more explaination as to how to use the work around while I wait for a permanent solution in SAP.
In any case, the note you were referring to has been fixed in Patch 48. I am now on Patch 49, so obviously my problem is not related to the note.
Can someone please further elaborate on the temporary work around so that I can try it out? Based on the brief description, I did not understand how the temporary work around can help me.
Anybody at all, if you could be kind enough to explain the work around, thank you very much.
Regards,
Alvin

Documents are not printed in tray selected

Hello all,
I met one problem to print some Spool Orders in one specific tray.
One phisical printer is created twice in SAP :
- one printer for one tray (ex : tray2)
- one printer for the other tray (ex : tray3)
Tray1 is not used.
When i'm printing SmartForms documents, they are printing in the selected tray, but some others documents (ex: SAPScipt documents) are printing to the default tray of the phisical printer but not in one selected.
Did somebody met this problem and succeeded to resolve it, please ?
Many Thanks in advance for your help.
François LECOMTE

hi François,
I have 1 suggestion.. for u r problem.
in SPAD u will define the OUTPUT TYPES for the output types we have a option to select-->OUTPUT ATTRIBUTES Tab.. here u can give the Default Tray as you want.in PAPER TRAY(u'll find it bottom of output attribute tab).
I hope u r problem will be solved by changing the output type settings
Please Close this thread.. when u r problem is solved
Reward if Helpful

Document could not be printed - no pages selected to print

I am running into this well-known issue with several documents, but unfortunately none of the fixes I have come across have worked. Some background:
-Using Windows 7 Pro
-Happening with both Adobe Reader XI and Acrobat X, clean installs. and happening on multiple computers, with multiple printers, with multiple domain users.
-Have tried repairing both installations, no success.
-Have tried disabling protected view, changing size of the fit, letting printer determine colors, printing in greyscale, changing setting for "view documents in PDF/A mode" to "never."
-Print as image works, but quality is unacceptable.
-It seems to be isolated mainly to Xerox printers, as I have no issues printing to an HP printer. I am trying different models of Xeroxes with no success, however. I have reinstalled printer driver and verified updated driver for all, issue persists. Printer models are Xerox ColorQube 8700X and 9203
-The PDFs are from different sources, so I can't pinpoint it to one website. Documents contain various financial info, so I can't post here. Any help would be appreciated. I'm probably going to have to try a different pdf reader for these, but that is not ideal, since multiple people need to print these and are comfortable using Adobe software.

I was also receiving the message "The Document Could Not be Printed" I am on 10.6.4 with Acrobat 9.4.1. I did not get the second part of the message though "There were not pages selected to print". Anyway, I got mine to work by going to Preferences - Print & Fax. I selected my printer and clicked Options & Supplies. Under the driver tab I changed the "Print Using:" box to Generic PostScript Printer. I'm not sure if this is what you are supposed to do. I'm not an expert but it worked for me so I am going with it.

Document could not be printed - no pages selected

I attempted to print a range of pages of a pdf document. Acrobat says the document could not be printed because there were no pages selected to print. This was not true. I was able to print a range of pages from Apple Preview, so that means the file is OK. Therefore, Acrobat Pro has a bug. I am using Yosemite on my iMac, with Acrobat XI.

Hi -
Maybe this will help others get around or solve this issue. I was trying to print a 67MB PDF created in INDD (similar to others created and printed that day) and got the same messages as other posters:
Document could not be printed
There were no pages selected to print (even though All was selected)
I updated to 11.0.10 and continued to get these messages.
Ultimately Distiller was the solution.
cheers all

HP 8625, cannot see Print Preview or Select Pages

On my new HP 8625, I cannot see the Print Preview feature nor can I select to print specific pages. This used to work on my HP c309, so I'm thinking perhaps it's a printer driver issue. I am specificially having this issue with Excel but it may be occuring in other programs as well.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for any info.

Hello @TheEveryman , welcome to the forums
I would first suggest checking to see if you have Print Preview and the option to print specific pages from other programs, besides Excel as this will show us if the problem is solely within MS Excel, or all programs, which could be a driver issue.
Skipping forward a little bit and assuming the issue is in all programs, you could try Uninstalling the Printer Software, restarting the computer and reinstalling the printer, here: HP Officejet Pro 8625 e-All-in-One Printer Drivers.
Please let me know which operating system you're running on your computer and the results from testing the other programs on your computer. The more detail you include, the better!
Have a great day and hope to hear back from you

Acrobat won't print, no page selected

Since I upgraded to a new iMac with Mavericks, acrobat (updated to latest version, 10.1.9) won't print anything. I get an error message saying 'the document could not be printed' and then a second message saying 'no pages were selected'. I have tried selecting pages in different ways, and I've tried printing various different pdfs to both my printers (Brother HL2030 and Canon Pro9000). I have the latest drivers on these, which are printing other documents fine, so there's no problem with either the files or the printers.

First let me state that this is my solution on a Macintosh running 10.7.5 and Acrobat Pro X (with all the latest updates).
This problem started for me just this last weekend. I have been to every so-called solution that I could find via a Google search and NONE of these "solutions" even by the self-tagged "experts" work. PERIOD!
I decided to follow one suggestion to install Acrobat Pro 9. However, instead of uninstalling Acrobat Pro X first, I left it installed.
During the initial startup of Acrobat 9 after installation I was offered the option of installing an Extra feature called Adobe PDF Printer which allows me to "Create Adobe PDF files from any application by printing to Adobe PDF Printer". I opted in to that extra.
Once Acrobat Pro 9 had started I tested it using one of the PDF files that had failed to print with the dreaded "No pages selected......" error messages. THE FILE PRINTED AS EXPECTED!
I then decided I would uninstall Acrobat Pro X, but on a whim decided to try to print the same PDF file that had just printed using Acrobat Pro 9 one more time. IT PRINTED!
All I can figure out is that somehow selecting the option to have Acrobat Pro 9 install the option for allowing other applications to create a PDF repaired something within the Mac operating system. Just a guess.
Hope this helps someone.

Adobe wont print, no page selected

I am experiencing a problem with my Windows 64 bit workstation, trying to print an extra-large (60"X90") poster to my HP Plotter.
The Print dialog box shows the project divided vertically in three 36" wide strips, which should work out with my plotter loaded with 36"paper.
But when I select "Print" from the print menu, I get the Adobe "i" message "The document could not be printed" followed by another "i" message "There were no pages selected to print".
I checked, and of course the "all" button is selected in "Pages to Print

Hi edhelbig,
I'm sorry that you haven't received a response yet. Let's see what we can figure out.
Can you please tell me a bit more about your setup? Are you printing from Reader or Acrobat, and which version do you have? To that end, make sure that you have the most current version of either Reader or Acrobat installed by choosing Help > Check for Updates. Updating has resolved the issue for several customers facing the same issue. It's also important that you have the most current version of the printer driver for your plotter (you can check HP's website for that information.) But if that doesn't do the trick, here are some other things to try:
In the Acrobat/Reader preferences, click Document, and choose Never from the View Documents in PDF/A Mode pop-up menu.
Try printing another PDF with similar dimensions to the same printer. Does it print without error? If so, the PDF that's causing the error may not be well-fomed, and that could certainly cause the error that you're seeing.
Please give those things a go, and then let us know whether you were able to print successfully.
Best,
Sara

Firefox not printing complate page selection

When I have web page text I want to print, I select the text I want by bluing the text with my mouse and going to the file and print menu and choosing print "selection". When doing this with Firefox (3.6.15 updated) only part of the text I selected is printed. However when I view the page with IE to print the same selection, the text is printed completely. I use XP pro and my printer is a Canon MX860 multifunction. Canon says the problem is with the browser (Firefox) and I should ask Mozilla for help.

Thanks Edmeister, that's logical and I'd like to think it's the solution. But to find out I'd have to download Firefox4 which isn't really ready. It's really in release candidate status at this time so I don't want problems with buggy browsers added to what I have now. Perhaps I should wait until 4 is released?
What do you think?

Multipage word document cannot be printed using webutil

We have the following problem. We are using Oracle Webforms 11g (11.1.1.4). On the server a Word 2010 docx document has been created and needs to be printed locally. We use webutil for this with the following code:
-- create a new document
app := client_ole2.create_obj('word.application');
client_ole2.set_property(app, 'visible', 0);
docs := client_ole2.get_obj_property(app, 'documents');
args := client_ole2.create_arglist;
client_ole2.add_arg(args, p_filename);
client_ole2.add_arg(args, 0); -- confirmconverion (false)
client_ole2.add_arg(args, 1); -- readonly (true)
client_ole2.invoke(docs, 'open', args);
client_ole2.destroy_arglist(args);
client_ole2.invoke(app,'printout');
client_ole2.release_obj(docs);
args := client_ole2.create_arglist;
client_ole2.add_arg(args, 0);
client_ole2.invoke(app,'quit', args);
client_ole2.destroy_arglist(args);
client_ole2.release_obj(app);
When the document to be printed consists of only one page the document is printed. When there is more than one page (hard/soft page end) the resulting document is empty. We also tried Word 2003, RTF format but nothing worked.
Extra Info:
Clients: Windows XP SP3, Office/Word 2010
Server: Forms 11.1.1.4, Windows Server 2008R2
Webutil/jacob: 1.10.1 as recommended.
What can we do to solve this?

Ok... I went back and tested your code and by adding a "0" for the Range param, all pages of my 3 page doc printed.
-- create a new document
app := client_ole2.create_obj('word.application');
client_ole2.set_property(app, 'visible', 0);
docs := client_ole2.get_obj_property(app, 'documents');
args := client_ole2.create_arglist;
client_ole2.add_arg(args, p_filename);
client_ole2.add_arg(args, 0); -- confirm converion (false)
client_ole2.add_arg(args, 1); -- readonly (true)
client_ole2.invoke(docs, 'open', args);
client_ole2.destroy_arglist(args);
-- CHANGES BEGIN HERE
args := client_ole2.create_arglist;
client_ole2.add_arg(args, 0); -- 0 means background printing
client_ole2.add_arg(args, 0); -- 0 means no append
client_ole2.add_arg(args, 0); -- 0 means print all pages
client_ole2.invoke(app,'printout',args);
client_ole2.release_obj(docs);
client_ole2.destroy_arglist(args);
-- CHANGES END HERE
args := client_ole2.create_arglist;
client_ole2.add_arg(args, 0);
client_ole2.invoke(app,'quit', args);
client_ole2.destroy_arglist(args);
client_ole2.release_obj(app);This appears to be the syntax according to the MS docs:
PrintOut([Background], [Append], [Range], [OutputFileName], [From], [To], [Item], [Copies], [Pages], [PageType], [PrintToFile], [Collate], [FileName], [ActivePrinterMacGX], [ManualDuplexPrint], [PrintZoomColumn], [PrintZoomRow], [PrintZoomPaperWidth], [PrintZoomPaperHeight])

Why can't I Print just a single page of a document, before this printer I could select to pint 1 pg

Everytime I print a doc, I can select to print a single page but right after that selection an HP print window opens and the only option is Start Printing or Cancle Printers. The upper border of the popup says " HP Officejet 6500 "

Thanks BDAqua. It seems so silly that it's so easy in other contexts, but it's good not to keep on trying something futile
Best,
Jenny

Document could not be printed, No pages selected | But they were selected

Although the pages were selected the following error messages were received. I verified the HP Officejet 6700 Premium drivers and Acrobat Reader were updated.

Cannot Install Printer When I select More Printers I get

When I select More Printers from the Printer Setup Utility, I get an error saying: "The application Printer Setup Utility quit unexpectedly after it was reopened"
Anyways I can not get past this.
I am trying to install HP Laserjet5

One of the 30+ files associated with Printer Setup is probably corrupt. Try these generic steps:
Download the Combination Updater from Apple and use it to re-Update OS X.
Try Printer Setup Repair from www.fixamac.net.
Restart from the Install DVD and use Disk Utility in the top menu (NOT the installer) to repair the HD.
(Final step - reinstall OS X using the Archive & Install option in the installer.)
