Failed to output your data due to an unknown problem

I am currently having a huge problem printing from Indesign.
I am running CS3 on a hi spec 08 Mac Pro (10.5.2) connected to an Epson 3800 Stylus Pro A2 printer.
I keep getting the message <Printing Error: The Adobe Print Engine has failed to output your data due to an unknown problem>.
I have tried trashing the indesign preferences, I tried a new account... In fact I have just done a clean install of the entire OS. Just can't get it to print. I did have it printing on this machine before and the same document prints from my iMac.
The problem seems to be something to do with the print dialogue. If I print WITHOUT checking the Printer settings in the Print dialogue is sends to the print, but the output is shocking as the paper selection is not right and uses photo black not matt black.
When I DO check the printer settings and set it all correctly it gives me the <Printing Error: The Adobe Print Engine has failed to output your data due to an unknown problem>.
Anyone else had this or have any thoughts?

***Oops. Cross posted. Glad it is working.***
If you desire to share the fonts I can look at them. Just send me a PM with a link.
Did you change the internal naming/IDs when you created your varient? If not, try removing the version you began with. Paths all closed, etc?
Ian's application works fine but I don't use the light version--isn't there some limitation with it?

  • Adobe print engine failed to output your data due to an unknown problem using modified font

    I have a document I created in InDesign CS5.5 with no issues. One of the fonts had a some issues with how the letters looked, so I modified the font (True Type) with a font editor. The documet on screen looks fine and passes preflight with no issues, but when I try to print it to any printer or PDF (Adobe PDF or Winpdf wirter) I get the error: adobe print engine failed to output your data due to an unknown problem. I also tried to create a document in MS Word with the same modified font and had no issues printing. Can anyone check into the issue with InDesign with this font if I send it to you? I also did try to create a new document in InDesign with just some text using the modified font and it will not print that one either.

    I am seeing this error too, but I've narrowed it down to an isolated set of circumstances. My client has begun rolling out Active Directory integration with Macs on their network. Here are the specifics:
    -- Mac OS X 10.5.4, IDCS3 5.0.3
    -- Using the Directory Utility, Macs are bound to AD with using the mobile account option (user folder is cached locally on workstation, hosted on the network)
    -- The message immediately pops up after clicking 'Print' button in print dialogue.
    -- Printers are a couple of different versions of DocuColor (250 and 260) with Fiery RIP front ends. Print queues are hosted on an AD print server and listed as Open Directory under Kind in the Add Printer dialogue.
    -- Only IDCS and ILCS3 (13.02) exhibit this problem. PSCS3 (10.01), Acrobat (8.1.2) and Safari do not have the same issue, so it appears to be Postscript related
    -- Printers not going through AD (IP or BonJour enabled HP B&W lasers) print successfully when logged in via the networked user. Logging into a local admin account resolves the problem as well.
    -- This issue appears on freshly imaged machines, G5s and MacBook Pros, not just an isolated workstation. So its possible there is a problem with the source image, but it was created by another office and I'm just a consultant onsite at another location trying to sort things out. Other workstations still using Thursby's Dave software for file and printer access, running 10.4.11 do not exhibit same issues.
    -- The console output lists this error when ID fails:
    7/23/08 3:28:59 PM /Applications/Adobe InDesign CS3/Adobe InDesign CS3.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe InDesign CS3[1374] passwordCallback: didn't find keychain item for "ipp://localhost/printers/DC01_Fiery250_5th";prompting for it
    I have created a keychain entry to match this with no success.
    -- None the suggestions in linked KB doc. resolve the issue. But that doc seems to be outdated as it references CS 1 and 2 versions of ID.
    So, has anyone seen the same issues? AD integration appears to be the common thread, but I cannot find the cause.

  • Printing Error: The Adobe Print Engine has failed to output your data due to an unknown problem

    I've seen this before when placing some of the blizzard of pdfs of all kinds that land in my inbox into Indesign. I can't remember if I ever solved it, but one work-around has been to place the pdf, then export as pdf, place that into a new document.
    It's not working this time though. The pdf in question was created in Indesign CS2 (4.0.5) in Windows, the Windows fonts are all embedded, I'm using CS2 Mac. Everything else prints fine to a variety of output devices.
    Can anyone shed any light, is there more information I can provide?
    It prints from Acrobat, which is what I'm doing, but not when placed into ID.
    Thanks in advance.

    Possible solutions include a bunch that I can't try, such as issues with fonts or colour spaces, as it's a supplied pdf. Given the resolution of exported jpegs, exporting as such won't do. I suppose I could try converting to eps via Photoshop.
    This is weird one:
    >Solution 3: Change print options in the Print dialog box.
    >Make the following change in the Print dialog box:
    >If you print a section that contains only one odd page, deselect Even Pages Only.
    If you print a section that contains only one even page, deselect Odd Pages Only.
    Umm, if I was printing only an odd page, I wouldn't get very far printing even pages only, now would I?
    If I ever get to work through the snow, I'm going to look at this one first:
    >Solution 6: Remove OPI 2.0 comments from the PDF file.
    >Remove OPI 2.0 comments from the PDF file, place the PDF file into InDesign, and then print the document.
    >To remove OPI 2.0 comments, do one of the following tasks:
    >In Adobe Acrobat, manually remove the OPI 2.0 comments and then re-create the PDF file.
    It doesn't mean much to me, but it might be a plan. As I said, for this document it doesn't really matter, I can print from Acrobat, but if a placed pdf is only part of a document I could be in trouble.
    It's weird, one problem, all kinds of possible causes. If I'm being a pest, someone please say, otherwise I'll report back on which solution/workaround succeeds.

  • Best way to  back up your data

    Which is the fastest and best way to back up your data in case of any problem ? Still to transfer to an external HD ?
    Thanks

    Hi Ferro;
    Best and simplest way to back up is Time Machine to an external drive.
    I think that any backup plan should alway be to an external drive. If you backup to an internal drive and the Mac fails, what good is your backup then?

  • 11inch air turns off when sleep due to unknown problem/takes awhile to fire up

    Hello,
    Since the update to Mavericks i've noticed everytime i put my macbook air to sleep for longer than a few minutes.. it's shut itself off and when it fire up (after holding the power button for quite a few seconds) it comes up saying it turned off due to an unknown problem.
    This never used to happen, I bought the Macbook Air 11 inch in September so its still fairly new. Is there anything im missing here - everythings up to date. I dont know if i should take it to genius bar yet or if theres something i could try to fix it.

    You are not alone.  This is a very active topic.  See https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5495588?start=0&tstart=0
    The remedy mentioned several times in that thread is to reset SMC + PRAM and in check "Put hard disks to sleep when possible”.  It is not a perfect solution.  The problem reoccurs for some people.
    SMC reset: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    PRAM reset: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
     > System Preferences > Energy Saver
    > Battery > uncheck “Put hard disks to sleep when possible”.
    > Power Adapter > uncheck “Put hard disks to sleep when possible”.
    If that does not do the job, go to an Apple store for a repair or replacement.
    Actually, given this is an intermittent problem for others, you may want to take it to an Apple store before you try to make it better to have it fail in their presence.  After that try the fixes and if the problem comes back you will have a documented case for Apple to repair or replace the unit.

  • Why would a JSP output all data but fail to end the request?

    Hi all,
    I have a JSP which outputs some data, includes a servlet in the same application which outputs table rows, and then outputs the end of the page. I'm running iAS 6 SP4 on Solaris with iWS 6.0.
    My problem is that requests complete successfully and output all data but the page continues to "load": it renders in the browser window, says Opening .... in the progress bar, but never finishes. When I stop the request and view the HTML, everything is there, right down to the last tag. So both the JSP and servlet are running to completion, but somewhere the request is not being terminated.
    This is a problem because iAS will not serve any further requests to that specific application until the server is restarted. It will continue to serve pages to other applications on the same server. When shutting down the following errors are put to the log file:
    [30/Jan/2002:09:52:17] info (12980): GXConn::GetNextBuffer() reports: invalid reply type received in GetNextBuffer (conn 0x3c38f48, sock 0, host 0x0, port 0)

    [30/Jan/2002:09:52:17] info (12980): gxrequest.cpp:gxrequest() reports: End req /NASApp/pricing/results.jsp
    I have many other JSPs which include servlets in the same application which work perfectly, and I am unable to reproduce the error on any other pages.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Scott

    Things are always clearer in the light of morning. Passing false for the inline argument to PDEContainerCreate() is the cause.

  • Time Machine spends hours partially backing up and then fails with "Time Machine couldn't complete the backup due to a network problem."  Tried suggestions I've seen on the forum.

    Time Machine spends hours partially backing up and then fails with "Time Machine couldn't complete the backup due to a network problem."  I've tried various suggestions I've seen on the forum but nothing has worked.  TIme Machine worked fine for the last two years and just suddenly started having this problem every time.  The only thing that was a little different is that the computer was off for a week while on vacation and then I added a large amount (20 GB) of photos. Now the requested backup size is 82GB, which is large, and process proceeds very slowly for 2-3 hours before failing with the message mentioned.  I have more than enough available backup storage space for it.  Before failing, Time Machine has backed up no more than 12GB or so of the backup.  It fails during different files each time.
    I've turned off the computer sleep feature, and I've checked that the NAS is set to never automatically power down. I normally backup over Wi-Fi, but I've also tried connecting to Ethernet and it still has the same problem.  It's odd because I also have a MacBook Pro that is still backing up fine to the same NAS using the MacBook's Time Machine. 
    I am using an iMac with OS X 10.6.8 and an Iomega StorCenter ix2-200 NAS.
    I have system logs that I can share if helpful.  The logged messages vary a bit from run to run, but here are some messages that I've been seeing:
    I always get this message near the beginning of the backup:
    Event store UUIDs don't match for volume: Macintosh HD
    I've gotten this messsage a number of times:

    That looks like a problem was found with the file system (data) on the TM disk.  I don't know the details, but OSX tried to recover it from the journal, and found extra data on the drive.    Likely a result of the incompatibility mentioned above.

    Something caused a disconnect.  Can't tell from the log what it was.
    I doubt it's a problem with something in OSX being damaged or corrupted, but reinstalling OSX isn't a major hassle, so might be worth a try.
    To be incompatible with Snow Leopard, this NAS must be at least a couple of years old.  It may be beginning to fail.
    Contact the maker.  See if there's an update to make it compatible with Snow Leopard.  If so, that might fix it.
    If not, or if that doesn't fix it, see if they have any diagnostics that will shed any light.

  • BPM_DATA_COLLECTION fails with (Output device "" not known) error

    Hi all,
    I have an issue with Output BPM_DATA_COLLECTION_1 job in the satellite system  failing with 'Output device "" not known error.  Since it is collecting data for Solution Manager system why does is it trying to find an output device.
    It did not fail before and now I added another key figure (custom one) which is done the same way the other custom monitors are done in "Z_BPM_ECU_COLLECTOR" report and then in /SSA/EXM program, but the collector job started to fail.
    Also, for some reason there are two BPM_DATA_COLLECTION jobs, one is BPM_DATA_COLLECTION_1 and the other is BPM_DATA_COLLECTION_2.  _1 runs every 5 min and _2 is less frequent. They both seem to runt the same job which is /SSA/EXS. Why are there two jobs scheduled from solution manager in my satellite system?
    Thank you very much for your help!

    I am experiencing this same issue in our ECC 6.0 system.  We currently have ST-A/PI release 01M_ECC600 level 0001 applied to our system.  These jobs finish successfully in SM37, but I'm seeing the same error messages in our system logs (SM21).
    When I try to update the output device that is associated with these jobs, the user ID running the jobs is not valid since it's user type is Communication Data.
    Does anyone know if it ok to change the user for this job? Should it be run by DDIC?  I believe the jobs were created automatically when we applied ST-A/PI release 01M_ECC600 level 0001.

  • When installing new software, remember you MUST backup your data.

    This is from my own personal FAQ on my own website, but given the number of people who find themselves in a lurch with Snow Leopard, I had to post this again as a reminder for those not privy enough to find it by internet search engines, or look through this board.
    It is not a question of if data will be lost, but when. User error, data corruption, hardware failure, bugs in installers all play a part in potential disasters that only a backup can recover from. While you don't have the viruses or worms on the Mac like you do in the Windows world, it should be no excuse to not backup. These incidents can happen at anytime, and frequently without any warning.
    User error is the number one cause of lost data. You drag a file to the trash without meaning to, or use a keyboard shortcut used to send a file to the trash, or take a file out of its prescribed location, and the system gets broke. Before moving preinstalled folders or adding files to preinstalled folders, know what files belong where. Ask if you are unsure. And only start moving files once you know your critical files are backed up. In addition, if you lose track of files, and their location, having a backup you know where it exists will help you find those files which you lost. Manage your backups so that information isn't lost by accident.
    There are many disk utilities which claim to help keep your hard disk in good shape, and some are better than others, but if you don't have a backup, any of them could actually be worse than the backup software to your data as a simple power failure during use of one of those utilities can make the data get lost forever. Data corruption is probably the number two cause of losing data.
    Hardware failure. Eventually all hard disks, tape drives, CDs, DVDs, Zip drives, Zip disks, floppies, tapes, and even drive controllers fail. Hopefully most will not happen during the time between now and when you can afford your next computer, but it could happen. Getting an external source to backup your data to will lessen the risk of any one component making your data get lost forever. Whether it is an external hard drive, CD burner, tape drive, or a zip drive, the more backups of your data you have, the better off you'll be. Some will even say an off site backup is a good idea since a disaster could happen to your home or office that ruins the media on site.
    And then there are installers which without warning will remove different versions of programs, and in a few cases have been known to remove all the data on the system by accident.
    Always have at least two copies of your data at all times. As the loss of one data source due to any of the above failures means you will need the second backup to recover your data.
    And one copy should also be in a remote location in case something happens to the home location whether it is theft, accidental damage, or natural disaster.
    In the meantime if you aren't able to make the investment in backup software or hardware at least make yourself a hard copy of all your documents by printing them out. While not as easy to recover from as digital backups, at least you won't be trying to create the data from scratch.

    Apple also warns one in the documentation that comes in PDF on the installation DVD, but it does appear that some don't other to read this.
    Data recovery techniques exist, but none are 100% reliable, and some can cost thousand of U.S. dollars if you have failing hardware. So don't think for one moment backing up is optional. The day will come when you wish you had one.

  • Final user's can not see the data due to limited authorization.

    We have created a InfoSet with three info Objects, 0Account, 0Costcenter and 0COMP_CODE. 0Costcenter have an attribute retail location  0RT_LOCATIO.
    0RT_LOCATIO is an authorization relevant object. We as consultants can execute the infoset properly, but final user's with limited authorizations can not see the data because of authorization failier
    We hae several options to solve the issue, deleselect the auth. flag in the infoobject; delete the infoobject from the attributes of the cost center or create an authorization object and assign it to the final user's profile. But we don't want to go that way.
    My question is, is there any way to avoid including this attribute in the infoset definition? We are not using it in the query and we don't need it, so if we could delete it from the infoset (in the same way you add or delete infoobjects from an Infocube) without changing the cost center aster data, we will have our problem solved.
    Does anyone how to do this (if possible)?
    Thanks in advance!

    Just do two things to find the authorization check failed for that user.
    1. Execute SU53 output and find out the authoirzation check failed. If yes, please send that to BASIS Team.
    2. Next one, switch on the authorization trace in ST01 and ask that user to see that data. if the user is failed with authorization issue. switch off the trace in ST01 and find out the issue.
    Do this way, if it is not successful you can go for any other alternate way.
    Hope this would help you.
