Error with InDesign "Print Booklet"

I'm trying to print a 72 page document with the "Print Booklet" feature on my new 11x17 printer.
I get this error message: "The active document uses multiple page sizes. Print Booklet works only with documents that use a consistent page size" but all of the pages in the document are the same size.
Anything I can do to get this working? I've got CS6 with all the updates.
Thanks,
John

^ I've tried the copy/paste method twice with the same 32 page booklet I have and it still doesn't work, whether I'm using CC or CS6.

PDF printing errors with InDesign CS4 docs

I've discovered somewhat belatedly that since upgrading from CS3 to CS4, every pdf I have created in InDesign (a dozen or more) won't print. After a general error message, "the document could not be printed," I get one or both of these messages: "there were no pages selected to print" or "a drawing error occurred." I have variously tried every page selection option to no avail. I have also tried recreating the pdfs from the original ID files with different export settings, again with no success. PDFs exported from other programs are not a problem, nor is printing from InDesign. I'm on a Mac. Any thoughts?

My (admittedly Clonescript) HP prints this without error messages but prints in Courier anything done in Optima ExtraBlack, which claims to be embedded, but seems not to be. My PCL printer prints this without errors or problems.
If I bring this back into CS4 and export back to PDF, it prints properly in Optima ExtraBlack.
If I edit it in Acrobat 7, I can change Optima Extrablack (not on system) to Optima Extrablack (on system) and it prints properly.
I would want to look into your Optima Extrablack font. First try substituting different fonts, something generic like Helvetica (not as a solution, just as a test). If that fixes it, try substituting something generic only for Optima Extrablack (the "A House of BRIC" head and the drop folio). If that fixes it, make a document that uses only Optima Extrablack. If that fails, look into uninstalling and reinstalling Optima Black.
BTW, you don't have Reader 8 and Acrobat Pro 9 installed on the same machine, do you? This is not recommended, although I don't know what particular problems it causes.
There's quite a bit about the drawing error if you google it. In particular, this might be relevant (while somewhat off-color): http://groups.google.com/group/adobe.acrobat.windows/msg/8dc9a7dfea59a57d?hl=en&

Printer error with InDesign CS4

I have the Adobe Master Collection installed on Windows 7 64bit (Pruchased through MS Volume License). Before installing windows 7, the system had Windows Vista Business 64-bit installed and had the same problem, so it is not OS related. Connected directly to the computer via USB cable is an HP Design Jet 130. All programs are able to print to it without any problems including Photoshop (64bit), Adobe Acrobat, Illustrator (32bit), Excel, Word, etc. However, when trying to print a document from InDesign, I get the following error:
print driver host for 32bit applications has stopped working
After click ok, the printer selection box comes up, with the post script printer selected. When you go and try and change the printer to ANY other printer including the DJ130, I get the following error:
Printer selection failed. Restoring the previous selection.
I am still able to print documents from InDesign by saving them as a PDF and then opening them and printing them with Adobe Acrobat Pro, however, I should not have to do this, and this can become very time consuming. The printer is also shared on the network with two other computers and they have no problem printing to it from InDesign. Before I installed Windows 7, I completely un-installed the Master Collection. After Win7 was installed, I re-installed the Master Collection, and I was able to print perfectly from Adobe InDesign. It seems that one of the updates breaks it's printing capabilities with this printer, or at least on this system.
Has anyone else experienced this issue, or are there any other things that I can try to resolve this? I have 8GB of RAM in the system and don't really see switching to a 32 bit OS to be an option as I would loose the ability to use 1/2 of my memory.

I am having the exact same problem. I have Windows 7 Pro 64-bit and Design Premium CS 5.5. InDesign is the ONLY program that will not print to any printer. I get the "Printer selection failed." error every time I select any printer, even the Adobe PDF one. I have a Brother printer, an HP Plotter, and even an Oce copier/printer. InDesign gives the error no matter what printer is selected form its own list. Photoshop and Acrobat do not give me any issues, nor does any of the MS Office programs nor Autodesk softwares. It's only InDesign that fails. Reparing doesn't do anything and reinstalling every printer driver is pointless because it's only InDesign that produces the error.
Does anyone know what to do to fix this?

Error With Export/Print from Crystal Report Viewer

Hello there,
I've searched through the web and SAP discussion boards with not much luck with this issue.
After working through this for some days now I've decided to look here for help.
Environment:
I have created a web Crystal Report viewer application(Developed with SBOP BI Platform 4.0 SP06 .NET SDK Runtime) that communicates with a managed Cyrstal Server 2011 SP4 (Product 14.0)
I am able to connect and authenticate with the server, retrieve a token for communication and display reports in the Crystal report Viewer successfully.
Problem:
When I attempt to export, I receive the prompt to select format and pages.
When I click export after selections most times I receive an error with the text
Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to interface type 'CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.PropertyBag'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{74EEBC42-6C5D-11D3-9172-00902741EE7C}' failed due to the following error: No such interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE)).
Other times the page simply refreshes on export.
When I click to print, no print dialog is displayed the page always refreshes and no error is displayed.
No Print or Export document is ever created.
As many print/export issues seems to be related, I'm guessing this two issues are as well.
Notes:
I am utilizing the ReportClientDocument model
I am storing this in session to use as the crystal report viewer report source on postbacks
I am assigning a subset of export formats to the crystal report viewer
I am setting particular parameters as well on the report source
At this point I would appreciate every assistance I may receive on this issue
Thanks in advance,

Thanks Don for your response,
I'm new to the SCN spaces and my content has been moved a couple of times already.
In response to your questions
The runtime is installed on the web application server, if by that you mean the machine hosting the created .NET SDK application.
My question was whether it was also required on the Crystal Server 2011 (I.E. the main enterprise server with CMS and Report management and I guess RAS and all that). I figured this would remain untouched and queries would simply be made against it to retrieve/view reports e.t.c
If install of the SDK on Crystal Server 2011 is indeed required should I expect any interruption to any of the core services after a restart. I.E. I'm hoping that none of the SDK objects would interfere with the existing server objects (in SAP Business Objects)Reason I ask is I note that much of the SDK install directories are similar to the existing Crystal Enterprise Server 2011 (Product 14.0.0)
Is this temp folder to be manually created/configured or is it created by the application automatically to perform tasks. Or are you referring to the default C:\Windows\Temp directory and so saying that the application would try to use this for print and export tasks?Once I'm sure which I'd give the app pool user permission
Printing is to be client side but I figured by default (with the Crystal Report Viewer) it would simply pool and print from the user's printer. This is how it works with the previously used URL reporting approach (viewrpt.cwr). Therefore a user can print the document from wherever they are with their own printer.We don't intend on printing from the server machine, but are you suggesting that a printer must be installed on server (which one web or enterprise server) for any client side printing to work.
App pool is running in 32 bit mode
Initially didn't get anything useful from fiddler but I'd try and look closer on your suggestion.
It's also possible that some of my questions are a misunderstanding of APP vs RAS vs WEB, so please feel free to clarify. Currently I see the Web server as simply the created .NET SDK Application and RAS (Crystal Server 2011 e.t.c) as the existing fully established Application server which I simply pool for information.
Thank you for your patience and advice,

No Adobe PDF or EPS available in InDesign "Print Booklet?"

I am running Windows 7 and have InDesign CS6 and Acrobat X Pro installed. I need to save a multi-page document in booklet form to a PDF to send to a service provider. When I try to use the “Print Booklet” routine there are no presets for Adobe PDF or EPS. A non-Adobe PDF creator that I have installed does show up but it is inadequate for this job. Exporting the document to Adobe PDF works just fine. but that doesn't impose the proper page sequence, Can’t seem to find an answer anywhere. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not sure that the PDF virtual printer is actually installed after Acrobat 9 since it no longer works in Mac after Snow Leopard.
There are scripts that will allow you to do simple two-up impositions that don't use creep, and an inexpensive (used to be free, and might be still) plugin for more complex impositions: Overview | IDImposer
But this printer is really not doing his job if he wants you to d the imposition, and I'd be very suspicious of his ability to output your file correctly. Do you have other options?

Error with PDF printing

I have a report region whose query specifies a '?' for one of the query's columns aliases. Something like 'Is Temporary?". When I attempt to 'Print' the report rendered by this query the result is an empty PDF document with an error message .
If I remove the '?' from the column alias , the report prints fine !
Is this a known issue with PDF printing in APEX ?
I have posted an example at the OTN APEX site.
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=23548:19
Varad

Varad,
Thanks for the workspace name, I would just remove your "Is Temporary?" alias name, there's no need for that, you can define your column headings on the report attributes page, and keep the column name as "temporary", so this query:
select owner ,object_name ,object_type ,created ,status ,temporary "Is Temporary?" from all_objects
should be:
select owner ,object_name ,object_type ,created ,status ,temporary from all_objects
And then edit the report attributes and define a column heading for your "temporary" column.
Regards,
Marc

Communication error with Epson printer SX510W

I am getting a communication error when I try to print on my Epson SX510W wrieless printer. How do I correct this? My operating system is OS X Version 10.9.4.
I've tried re-installing the software from the CD-Rom but it won't let me use the Quick Start, It lets me download the print driver and scan driver from the list of software on the disc but that hasn't made any difference. I think it's a problem with the printer and the IP address, how do I correct this. How do I find the correct IP address on the printer?
Sometimes if I turn the printer off and on again, it allows me to print just one page and then stops again.
John Mitchell

Thanks John. I tried deleting the Epson printer folder from the library like you said and then checked for Software Updates. But Apple did not indicate that there were any for my OS (probably because I had installed the latest OS update this morning). So I installed the driver from the Epson site with the printer folder removed. But this did not work because when I tried to print the computer indicated that there were missing files. So, I reinstalled the Epson folder that I had just moved to trash, deleted the new Epson folder, then tried reinstalling the Epson driver with the original folder in place. THIS WORKED! Finally, I am off and printing but with little knowledge gained about the inner workings of my computer.

My HP Officejet Pro 6835 gives me a message "There is an error with the print head"

Hi, I'd advise giving HP Support a call, as it's likely you'll require a replacement printer. Can you please let me know how you get on? Thanks, Ciara

When I try to print using my HP Officejet Pro 6835 I get the message "There is a problem with the print head"This printer has barely been used. It worked fine the first 5-15 times it was used. I have gone to HP support page and none of the suggestions works. The printer was new Jan. 30, 2015 and has printed less than 20 copies. The screen indicates turn on and off. Have tried that on numerous occasions. Also tried unplugging and plugging in again. Recently added new ink using HP ink cartridge.

Printing problems with InDesign PDF booklet

I've created a booklet in InDesign and exported it to PDF for my printer. In the PDF file all pages show correctly, until you print.
One page prints blank. It's a full page photo on that particular page. I have tried re-linking, exporting different PDF types, and even dropping a new file in.
My printer is convinced I am trying to sabotage her, how do I get that one page to show up in final printing?

Which version do you use?
Did you patch your InDesign to the latest build of your version?
Which OS?
What type are the missing images? Filetype?
Is your layer set to print?
If possible could you show us a screen shot of that particular page including the layer panel, opened all layers so we can see what is on that page. If pyossible show also the link panel with the missing file selected open to all information.

CC 10.1 Error with InDesign CS6 When Opening a File

I have Adobe CS6 and came across an issue when a fellow employee sent me a file. When attempting to open an .indd file in InDesign, a dialog box popped up stating "Cannot open because it was saved with a newer version of Adobe InDesign CS (8.1)" After noticing that I needed to update my CS version, I installed the updates and found that it now states "Cannot open because it was saved with a newer version of Adobe InDesign CS (10.1)" What does this mean? I've checked and I have InDesign version 8.0.2. and I don't have any more updates to install. Can anyone explain to me why this error is occurring and how to resolve this? I've received an .idml version of the file I'd like to open and that seems to work, however I'd like to resolve this issue so as to prevent this again. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Adobe Indesign CS (10.1) is the latest version of Indesign which is the 2014.1 release. As you saw exporting the 2014.1 file to .idml allows you to open it with CS6.

Multiple event log errors with Indesign.exe

A colleague is having some issues with CS3 and certain programs keep crashing and she has to keep restarting. I've not been given any further info at this stage so I decided to delve into her event logs. Doing so uncovered a number of different InDesign errors, not of which seem to turn up especially relevent or helpful information when researched using Google.
Faulting application InDesign.exe, version 6.0.0.352, time stamp 0x48bf8dab, faulting module GRAPHICS.RPLN, version 6.0.0.352, time stamp 0x48bf96f6, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x0003d27f, process id 0x1468, application start time 0x01cb064fddc3e01a.

Not sure if these are connected to her Creative Suite applications crashing, but they certainly don't look overly encouraging. She's running CS4 Design Standard, on a Dell XPS 420 with 3GB RAM and 32bit Vista Business OS.
Any help appreciated as she's had to restart 3 or 4 times today, loosing work each time.
Thanks!

Peter, that's a good point, I'll get her to run an update. In the past we have been sceptical of updates since this seemed to cause more problems when the software was running fine, but I guess we have little choice here. Fingers crossed!
@VectorIsBetter09 that's an interesting point. We do have somebody running Windows 7 64bit with the same applications installed (fresh install of CS4 rather than an upgrade to it from CS3) and I believe that's not had any issues. However, it does seem odd that the PC has been running with this software for well over a year/18 months with very few problems.

Pstops error with Xerox Printer on picture printjobs

Dear Mac Techs
I have a silly problem with Tiger 10.4.11 on a Intel iMac and a Xerox Phaser 6120.
If I print from Word, Exel, iWorks and other programs I don't get any errors even with pictures included into the document. But if I want to print a picture directly or stored as pdf I get all the time the following error message.
"The process "xc6120pstops" terminated unexpectedly on signal 10".
If I store the pictures in trouble as *.ps file and then print it I don't get this fault.
I did allready repair the user rights and I also did a compleat now clean install of the hole system with no change. I also did download the newest printer driver for systems up to Leopard 10.5.
Does anyone hav a clue whats wrong?
Thank you for your feedback.

I have this printer and haven't had this exact problem (I have had other problems getting the printer to wake up) but printing pdf's, jpeg's, etc. have been trouble free. How are you connecting to the printer (i.e. IP, Appletalk, Bonjour...)? Is this a system error message? What program are you using to print? Have you tried the same file and printing from different applications (e.g. a pdf from Preview or Adobe Acrobat)?
By the way, your computer information lists "10.4.1" rather than "10.4.11".

How do I "Print Booklet" with just odd pages and even pages for duplexing . . options disabled

I have InDesign CS5.5 on a Windows 7 64-bit machine hooked to a Xerox 7750 printer. I have created a 8.5x11 portrait document and trying to create a booklet on 12x18 sheets.
I need to print duplex manually and so I need to print just the odd spreads and then the even spreads.
I have printed to Adobe PDF and printed from my created PDF file and have it working, but I want to know why InDesign won't let me do it. When I click "File > Print Booklet > Print Settings" then it shows the Print Dialog box with the Pages section, which includes the Sequence that normally would allow me to do Odd Pages or Even Pages, but it is disabled. Why? I can define Print Presets and I can choose Odd Pages, but when I choose that in the Preset box it does not show anything, everything is still disabled.
Anybody have any idea of why it is disabled? Is it my printer driver?

I too was very frustrated after upgrading to indesign cs5.5 and the latest LION OS on my new MAC. I missed the odd/even page selection in the print dialog box within Indesign. I tried about everything and found little of value in various forums. But I did find a workable solution that makes since in terms of Apple's OS.
My objective is to "impose" my document and also end up with a file that I can just print again and again without "ripping" in the InDesign Print Booklet Dialog.
Here is the quick version of what to do. I am not including every little step with pictures. =) (I can if there is interest.)
1. create your document
2. Print Booklet
3. At the first dialog box, just ignore the printer in print preset (you will come back to this) and go to the 2-up perfect bound option and select 16 page signatures. This will impose 2-up on 4 physical pieces of paper printed both sides. So 16 of your document pages printed duplex on 4 physical sheets of paper. It would be nice to then just select the printer and scaling, etc. and the option to print even pages, flip over and then print odd pages but that ain't an option. If you have different needs, do the math and input the correct numbers before proceeding
4. Click on Print Settings to pull up a second dialog box.
5. Select for Printer PostScript File (not your printer) Also select for PPD your printer or Adobe PDF 9 if you have that installed. Don't obsess on this just pick your Printer for the PPD.
6. Select 1 copy and All Pages while in the General Tab
7. Select the Setup Tab Here is where you put in the actual physical paper size that you are going to print your document on. Don't scale to fit. You must do this. If you feel the need, check out all the tabs and options but for now, you are just trying to get an output file. You probably do want to select CENTER for page position in this same setup tab.
8. Hit OK whcih will return you to the original dialog. Check when you return to be sure that at the top Printer is populated with PostScript File. Click on Print and give the thing a name and a location to save at the resulting dialog.
Breathe as you are almost home. You have sucessfully created a file that can be called up again and again without opening InDesign. (albeit, a postscript file but not a problem)
Now,
1. Double click on this new file (it will have a .ps extention) or just open it in your PREVIEW (apple supplied utility) Preview is where you accomplish the even and odd page objective.
2. Preview will show you a short progress dialog while it rips this postscript file into a PDF.
3. Click on PRINT
4. Select your printer,page range, select the Paper Size (again not document size but the size sheet that you are printing the 2-up , imposed (booklet) document on. If not in the selection dialog, then use the custom option to create it (custom paper size) and give it a name.
5. Click on SCALE and insert 100% in place of the weird number that it will insert for you. You will then see your document correctly displayed in the sidebar preview window.
6. OK, now what you have been waiting for. Click on the box that says Preview (the active window) and select Paper Handling from the drop-down and select from Pages to Print the coveted odd or even page selection. You can also do other things that should have been back at the InDesign print dialog but are now gone. Explore. Enjoy.
7. You will have to work out your own work flow about reverse or no reverse order and how to flip, etc. But you will be working with something predictable at this point.
8. Since this has been ripped into a PDF , you might as well Click on the PDF button and click on save as a PDF at this point to save that postscript to PDF rip. Also print using PREVIEW for the newly created PDF file next time as you will not have to learn a bunch of new dialogs and be frustrated all over again.
I am now back in business printing the book blocks for my handbound journals.
