Everything freezes when printing

For some reason it is taking a very long time to print from any program and everything becomes unresponsive until it does. It was taking about five minutes for plain text. I installed Print therapy and ran various clean ups and cut it down to 1-2 minutes. I checked the console and realized I get several error messages when I print:

I've tried deleting all the print plist files, repairing permissions, deleting then reinstalling the driver from the samsung website. I dont know what else to do. My printer is connected via usb, ML-2510. Please help.

i was afraid of that, i will check the smart system thanks. Im not experiencing any slow down or issues with any other program. But this may be related.

FireFow freezes when printing to Adobe PDF printer

Hi,
I regularly but not always have FireFox freezing when printing a page with the Adobe PDF printer (not with the plug-in but by using the "print this page" button on the page I visit or by clicking File > Print . The only way to get out is to kill FireFox.
Most often, I can eventually print the page after restarting FireFox and regaining access to the page. The trouble is that the page may no longer be available if the site requires identification and starts a new session ( ignoring the previous one).
This is annoying.

This is as much as I know about that add on [http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/using-pdf-printer.html] Have you checked the printing preferences or made any changes recently?

Adding a map page causes my book to freeze when printing or purchasing

I have created several books with maps. When printing to pdf, viewing in Preview or even purchasing, the everything "freezes" at the map page. If I remove the map page everything works fine. I've purchased many books before, but I've never used maps. I'm using iPhoto '09 v8.1.2
Thanks

Problem solved! The larger the map, the longer it takes to "compile" that page. My map page included all of North America. When I zeroed in to just one city and surroundings, the map page compiled very quickly. So I went back to my North American map and decided to just wait. The blue progress bar stopped at that page as before, but after 20 minutes or so it proceeded to the next page and finished the rest of the book. Patience is a virtue.

Issue with Adobe Reader XI Freezing when Printing/Opening Documents

I've been having problems with Adobe Reader XI freezing when I attempt to print documents. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it several times. I've gone back to previous versions. I've disabled protected mode. I've run Adobe reader without background programs running. I've done a disk clean-up, and deleted temporary files. All to no avail. Is there anyone who can help me solve this problem.

There's no built-in function in Reader that does that, but it can be done using a script.

InDesign freezes when printing to a PDF and have Outlook open

I am not a patient person by nature. So, while I am waiting for my InDesign document to collect all its info before asking me where to save my printed PDF, I go compose an email in Outlook. When I do this, the dialog box for me to browse for the folder I would like to save the PDF to and the Outlook window disappear. What is going on?

This type of issue probably relates to the amount of system resources and virtual memory used by each of the programs - i.e. InDesign and Outlook - but not to bugs particular to either one. Outlook (including Outlook 2007) uses a tremendous amount of virtual memory (possibly up to a three gigabyte limit) and by extension, real memory when you have a large number of messages in your active InBox or whatever folder(s) are open. Similarly, when printing or exporting PDF, InDesign calls in a number of resources, especially the Adobe PDF Library and the Adobe Graphics Manager, that also have a tremendous hunger for virtual memory space, especially if you are working on a very complex document. When I've seen this type of problem or better when I proactively want to avoid this problem when I know I am exporting very large, complex documents, I close down Outlook and often save my InDesign document, close InDesign, and restart InDesign. Sometimes, rebooting my system minimizes this problem. And it is possible that you have specified too small a paging file or have run out of disk space for paging files if you let the system handle this matter automatically.
My perception is that with my migration of my main system to Vista 64-bit with a larger amount of main memory and larger available address spaces, I haven't recently seen this problem reoccur.
By the way, I've seen similar issues if you have InDesign and Photoshop open and then try to open Illustrator - it simply craps out without any rational message. Open Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop in that order and Photoshop won't hog the systems' virtual memory.

Freezing when printing to PDF

Greetings All,
I am running Windows server 2003, with Citrix Metaframe 3.0. My clients are Macs connecting with the citrix client as well as MS clients using RDP (the issue happens on both). They run a PC application (a database app) that resides on the Citrix server (MS Windows 2003 server). All is fine, except when a user runs a report and prints that report to a pdf file, when they go to exit that app, their connection freezes and I have to
manually disconnect them. If the same user uses the same setup logs onto the server, just views the report OR makes any changes to the databse, then exit the app, their connection releases with no issues. So I have narrowed down the issue to printing to a pdf file. Is there a security setting that needs to be modified to allow all users to do this, or is it something else?
Acrobat 7.0 standard and distiller are installed on
this server. I've included an event error:
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: MetaFrameEvents
Event Category: Printer Management
Event ID: 1103
Date: 6/25/2008
Time: 2:40:04 PM
User: N/A
Computer: CITRIX2
Description:
An error occurred while retrieving client printer properties. Default
printer properties will be used instead. Client name: (Andy Zevons Compute)
Printer: (Technology Manager (from Andy Zevons Compute) in session 2)
Printer driver: (HP Color LaserJet PS)
Thanks in advance,
-andy-

It is not clear if the client is using Acrobat on a local machine or you are using a server print of a PDF. If the latter, you may have to hope someone has server experience here along with comments about the license. Acrobat generally is only licensed to work on a local machine. Thus if thy are using it locally, they need to be able to somehow see the report and be able to print from the application on their machine.
I have no clue about the server applications and the possible viewing aspect that is needed.

SAP Business One 32 Bit Client freezing when printing?

Hi Everyone,
I am experiencing an issue with printing on a SAP Business One 32 Bit Client. The client is installed onto a Windows 7 (x64) Professional computer, and the business I work for uses the version of Business One shown below -
The issue that is being experienced is as follows - assuming that an appropriate (printable) document is loaded, e.g.: a Delivery Note, then selecting File (menu) > Print:
20 second delay to 'load' the printer selection dialog, then after clicking on OK (to print)
30 second delay until 'paper is printed', during which time the SAP Business One User Interface freezes!
I have identified that this issue only occurs with SAP, e.g.: printing of Word documents, PDFs, emails, etc responds in the expected amount of time (and none of the a fore mentioned programs experiences any freezing with their User Interfaces).
In order to remedy this I first downloaded and installed the newest printer driver for the printer, however when no improvement was noticed I made the decision to uninstall and then re-install Business One. In doing so I followed the method outlined below -
Even after performing all of the above I have seen no improvement in printing or program responsiveness. If you have experienced this issue, and you know a fix can you please contribute to this forum thread?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
David

Hi,
It is an application error. Refer SAP note 1955101 - CR_Printing Crystal reports and layouts is slow
Thanks & Regards,

Adobe Acrobat 9.5.5 freezes when printing to Amyuni Document Converter

We have two computers that have Adobe Acrobat 9.5.5 installed. Adobe itself seems to work just fine. However, there are two other pieces of software installed on the computer that use the Amyuni Document Converter 400 to convert or save files as a PDF. They have no problems right clicking on a file and using the "send to" feature in Windows to save a file into the application. However, when they open a PDF using Adobe Acrobat 9.5.5 and click File-> Save As and then select the program (example: eFileCabinet) that uses the document converter, Acrobat freezes and they have to use task manager to end the process. They are using Windows 7 Professional 64 bit with plenty of memory and CPU resources. The event log clearly shows Adobe Acrobat hanging. What, if anything, can we do? Any suggestions outside upgrading to the latest version of Acrobat? Have you seen anything like this?

Hi,
the crash happens from the GUI too.

I can' see how I can attach a file to this message. You can download a PDF which does this here: http://heim.ifi.uio.no/martingi/blur-crash.pdf The problem occurs only with certain PDF documents. The problem seems to have to do with that drop shadow.

Captivate 8 Freezes When Printing Handouts to Word 2013

Printing handouts to Word freezes Captivate 8 when the progress bar reaches 90%. At this point, via the Windows task manager, I gather that Word is asking to save both the .normal template and a file 'Adobe Captive.dotm' in the gallery folder. Clicking the save button has no effect, other than messages noting that these files are locked or read only.
I am able to work around this by first starting Word as an administrator (and leaving it running) then starting Captivate as an administrator. But this only works for me because I own my hardware. This will be an issue for corporate users lacking admin rights on their PCs.
The issue does not resolve permanently after doing the above workaround. Rather, as soon as I am not logged in as an admin, the issue recurs. Printing Step by Step docs to Word works without the workaround, possibly because the Word formatting is rudimentary. I have tried several output locations on the C: drive, desktop, etc. with the same results.
I am running Webroot antivirus, Windows 8, on an i7 ultrabook with ample memory and drive space. Adobe personnel, this issue is noted in Case #0185556636.
Thanks!

If you navigate to the EXE files for Captivate and Word in the Program Files folder, right click the EXE and set the option in the Compatibility tab to Run As Administrator, then these applications should always launch with Administrator privileges.
You are correct that corporate users will not likely be able to do this as most corporate systems are locked down to a point where common users do not have any level of admin privileges. There are times when Captivate will simply NOT work well for those users.

Acrobate IX freezes when printing/creating pdf in Firefox - same settings as in IX

Hi Guys,
Had the product for a week and it is not working... Usual stuff, a new PC take weeks to bed down.
When I try to print/create pdf from something in Firefox, both Acrobate IX and Firefox freeze. I have the old PC with Firefox and Acrobate IX, same default setting and it works everytime. XI freezes. Close Firefox and Acrobate and then re-open and it may print. If it does the next time I try it freezes.
Can anyone help?? not sure how this works... but my email is [email protected]
This place was so hard to find... is there a way to tag this question when an answer comes?? Possibly a Moderator could make it so??

Hi,
Could you please let me know the version of both Adobe Acrobat & Firefox installed on your machine?

15 min freeze when printing problem

Hi,
I'm having a big problem with a software I've developped for a client.
The program is an applet which is stored on a static folder on a server and is accessed through dynamic html pages that contain specific parameters for a session.
When they try to print, the applet seems to freeze for about 15 min ( the display isn't refreshed anymore ) then the printer begins to print and the applet works again. This time is constant. When they launch the applet on a static page in the same folder as the applet there is no problem.
I haven't encountered the problem myself during the tests i have made and I really don't see where it could come from.
Can someone help me on that issue?

Yeah, I suspect they are not completly right about what they tell me but there are many reasons why I can't go there to observe it first hand. One of them is that as the product is designed for extranet using and the intranet is not so much important, it is just for them to make tests so I think they have rather go on with the problem than pay another days of study. Furthermore I work for a very small company ( made of students in fact ) and we don't have the means to duplicate the problem.
Yet i really feel (I may be wrong ) that my code isn't responsible for the problem, and I would like either to prove it to them or to correct it if there are mistakes. But the printing code is so simple and so doesn't involve anything with the network that I can't dream why it would do that.

Textedit freezes when printing

When I try to print from TextEdit in Lion, the program just completely locks up and I have to Force Quit. The print dialog doesn't even show up.

I have a Canon MF6550. I installed the latest driver from Canon (aug 30 date), and it didn't seem to help. But then I backed out TextEdit to version 1.6 from time machine and now it seems to work. I can print again from TextEdit.
The textedit that comes with Lion is version 1.7 and seems to have many bugs. I've had other issues as well with textedit under lion. In one case it won't save any more, and the documents stay 'edited'. When I click on the versions icon at the top, it says there are no versions. Kind of scarey. When I force-quit and restart, everything starts to work again. In the console log, there are error messages that look like the following:
9/21/11 11:13:20.735 PM TextEdit: NSFileVersion tried to tried to add a new generation and failed. Versioned file URL: file://l..... , error: Error Domain=GSLibraryErrorDomain Code=1 "The operation couldn’t be completed. (GSLibraryErrorDomain error 1.)" UserInfo=0x104c44490 {}

Acrobat X freezing when printing from IE and other apps

Since the last update, each time I try to print to .pdf while in Internet Explorer, or other Microsoft applications, it will not print to file AND it freezes the application (I am left with a print window frozen AND the application frozen). Any ideas? Thank you.

Hi HRPRO-MT,
Please try repairing Acrobat and check if it solves the issue.

After several pages (random number usually about 3) it stops in the middle of the page and printer freezes. Needs restart.
The printer is set up as network printer.
Any known solution?

Hi,
the 'Print' button you describe is the 'Print' button of the Adobe PDF reader ActiveX control.
