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

    I am currently having a huge problem printing from indesign.<br />I am running CS3 on a hi spec 08 Mac Pro (10.5.2) connected to an Epson 3800 Stylus Pro A2 printer.<br />I keep getting the message <Printing Error: The Adobe Print Engine has failed to output your data due to an unknown problem>.<br />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.<br />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.<br />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>.<br />Anyone else had this or have any thoughts?

    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.

  • 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.

    ***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?

    Your assistance is much appreciated

  • Error, The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed. Where do I go to down load it or how do I fix it??

    Error, "The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed." I get this error when I try to watch a video even on YouTube. Where do I go to down load it or how do I fix it??

    I'd start with disabling Hardware Acceleration, as described in the video troubleshooting guide below:
    Video playback issues
    If that solves the problem, make sure that your graphics drivers are current. 
    If it *still* happens with current drivers, please give us detailed information on the graphics card and driver, so that we can disable hardware acceleration on this configuration and start a conversation with the appropriate vendor.
    The best way to get this information is to do the following (on Windows):
    Open a command prompt
    Type: dxdiag
    Hit Enter
    This should launch the DirectX Diagnostic Tool
    Click Save All Information (or whatever that save button says).
    Paste the contents into a reply here, or you can click Use Advanced Editor in the upper right of the reply window, and then attach the file using the link at the bottom right of the reply window.

  • The adobe flash plugin has failed and none of the solutions have helped

    == This happened ==

    Why is Flash now so unstable in Firefox? The Flash has crashed indicator is now a familiar visitor (it generally goes when I refresh the page so it's not hugely fatal!) But . . . I am having to go back to IE to check the reliability with my own sites - which are heavily dependent on flash for animation and video. What can be done? My Firefox and Flash installations are kept up to date. Really disappointing.

  • Adobe professional 8.0 printing on the Adobe printer

    Hi,
    I am using an application written in Powerbuilder.
    Recently,I upgraded to Adobe professional 8.0,when I try to print
    through this application with default printer set as Adobe pdf printer
    it generates a large number of pages while spooling.The page count reaches
    up to thousands of pages and it keeps generating even more until,I don't end the process through windwos task manager.It was working fine with earlier versions.

    You say you have 8.0 but the latest version is 8.1.2 so you might want to update and try again to see if one of the bug fixes was for your problem

  • How do I fix this error: The iPad cannot be synced. The device has timed out?

    Hello out there! Would someone be so kind as to point me in the right direction in fixing my little promblem? I can't seem to figure out how to get my syncing process to work properly. I've updated all my apps and I have even done the steps to configure. I've chosen to use "my iPad" back up feature and then the next step is to connect to iTunes and sync everything. It will do so and then it will say in the window box of iTunes "Finishing Sync". A minute or so later it will feature an error box presenting the statement: "The iPad, "my iPad" cannont sync. The device has timed out." Where do I go from here? Thanks to any with some good solutions. LJ

    Oops! Shall I add that I have recently updated my iPad's iOS software to iOS 5.1.1 and this is when my troubles began. :-)

  • HT3275 how do i fix this error - The backup disk image "/Volumes/My Passport/EDS MAC.sparsebundle" could not be created (error 1).

    When trying to use Time Capsule on my passport I get this message
    The backup disk image “/Volumes/My Passport/EDS MAC.sparsebundle” could not be created (error 1).

    That should be a C9 or C17 error.. see
    http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    Try rebooting everything.. as something has lost connection.. perhaps.
    Make sure the disk is actually available in finder.. and try mounting it.
