I am unable to print from Illustrator CS3 since downloading os x Mavericks

Since downlaoding OS X Mavericks, I am unable to print from Illustrator CS3. Is there a fix for this?

I fixed it! After searching I found a workaround:
The following workaround can be applied to get these older versions of Illustrator and InDesign to print on this newer operating system. Remove the following files and back them up:

  • I'm unable to print from illustrator running os x mavericks

    Why can't I print from illustrator? I don't have a problem from other apps. just illustrator. I downloaded new drivers for both of my printers an HP Deskjet D1600 and an Epson Stylus Photo 1400. Anyone know of a fix? This first happened when I upgraded to OS X Mavericks. I got a fix and everything worked. Then I installed a Silhouette Cameo (vinyl cutter machine) now I can't print from Illustrator again. Anyone have any ideas or a fix?

    Never mind. Found the fix. These got reinstalled and need to be removed. Ugh!

  • Printer dialogue box hangs when printing from Illustrator cs3

    OK... I'm not sure if this is Illustrator related or mac related, but it only happens from Illustrator. In our office we have an iMac (white,flat) running Tiger (OSX 10.4.11). Whenever we try to print from Illustrator CS3 the preint goes through to the printer immediately and prints, but the actual Illustrator spooling bar/printer dialogue box remains. The only way is to wait for about half an hour for the bar to finish or force quit the application and restart (even though it does not show as "not responding" in the Force Quit window.
    Now I've tried reinstalling Illustrator. I've run disk warrior. Tried the fsck command on startup. our technical outsources tell us it might be a memory problem, but I'm not tsure as this only happens in Illustrator and no other programs.... any ideas?

    I can vouch for the dock hiding solution solving the problem. It worked on three Intel Macs we were having problems with. Here are some links to articles about it:

  • Unable to print in Illustrator CS3

    I am now encountering my recurring problem - trying to print one of my maps.  To give some background, this is for a boardgame and consists of almost solely Illustrator effects.  There is a small amount of material from Photoshop incorporated.  It consists of some 20 layers of various effects, and was generated in Illustrator CS 3 (13.0.2) under Mac OS X 10.6.8.
    Over the years, I have generated a number of large maps, for various efforts.  These range in size from about 6-12 sq.ft.  All the maps are generated in Adobe Illustrator, ranging from Illustrator 10 to CS3.  The maps are generated on beefy hardware platform (MacPro, various iterations, lots of RAM), with no problems in generating the map artwork.
    However, over the years, when it comes to trying to print of of these  maps, I am almost completely unable to print them.  I dont have access to a large format printer, so I try and print these using various small size printers, and tiling the pages.  However, this inevitablely fails.  I am unable to print on any printer, under any OS (Mac OS X or Win XP), with any hardware, with any settings I have tried.***
    The current effort is an .AI file of about 100 MB is size. I have also saved this same file as a PDF (flattened layers from AI, ~100MB in size), and as a PDF without Illustrator editing capability (this reduces the file size to 12 MB).
    I have tried using Illustrator or Acrobat to print these documents.  At best, I can sit there and watch the status bar creep to 100%, and then sit there for 15 minutes, at which point I give up.  At no time do any of the printers show any activity.
    I have tried printing just one tile (page) of the map, and it does the same thing.
    This is of course intensely frustrating to encounter this again.  I cannot figure out why this is happening.  Is there some sort of pre-press operations I need to do ? 
    thanks,
    Tom
    ***  There is one exception.  I have a small Brother HL-2270DL printer attached to my home network.  Using Illustrator, I can print the entire tiled map in a matter of a few minutes.  I have no idea why this works. Acrobat still totally fails.  As satisfying as actually printing something out, I need a color print.

    Mike, while I am currently struggling with this one file, this same issue has dogged me for many years, over several different files, with, as far as I can tell, nothing in common, other than I generated them (the problem lies between the keyboard and the chair ? : )  Each of these maps is heavy AI work, with gratuitous use of textures, patterns, swatches, brushes and feathering effects.  There is a little bit of PS Placed artwork, but not much.
    I will see if leaving out the placed artwork makes things work better, but the amount of Placed artowrk is pretty small.
    What really baffles me, is that in its most distilled format (PDF with no Illustrator editing), the file is only 12 MB.  I cant fathom how a 12 MB file can present a challenge to any computer made in thre last 5 years.
    I havet not yet explored the Advanced printing options, and I dont know what most of that does (even after doing AI for 8 years or more, I am still a hack).
    Is there a good book that explains the different printing options and strategies ?  I am flying somewhat blind when it comes to something other than simple printing.
    One further data point:  I opened up the previously mentioned 12 MB PDF, using Photoshop.  I rasterized the document to the tune of 300 DPI, and then saved it as a Photoshop PDF.  My thought was that opening in PS destroys any vector information and saving back out as a PS PDF then puts it into a form I could print from work.  From work, I opened this file on a Windows machine with plenty of horsepower and resources.  I attempted to print to a beefy Xerox 7xxx series office printer.  I tiled the document an hit "print".  The progress bar stayed at 0% for 20 minutes.  During that time, the CPU load ranged from ~5-20%, and the free RAM stayed at about 1.7 GB.  I checked the printer during this time, and it registered a print job, but no progress was made.  I gave up after 20 minutes.
    thanks,
    Tom

  • When I try to print from Illustrator CS3 the program unexpectedly quits. I don't get anything happening other than the spinning ball and the quit message.

    Is this because the application is so outdated?

    Thanks for your help Monika. Yes, the printer is is supported by the system. The printer is about 2 months old and the driver were installed then. I called Canon support and they said it sounded like a problem with Illustrator. I can print the same file by saving it as a pdf and printing from Acrobat Pro, so it seems to be a problem with Illustrator. If I try to print the pdf from Illustrator it will quit.

  • Unable to print from Illustrator or InDesign (CS2)

    I havent installed CS3 yet, but will when able. For now, I need CS2 to function.
    First in Acrobat, then InDesign, and now in Illustrator, if I go to print (either File > Print or my using keyboard shortcut), the program just hangs indefinitely. The only way out is to force quit.
    Ive searched every conceivable combination of terms in these forums for this problem, but turn up nothing. Please dont tell me this is posted elsewhere unless you are also able to include a link to the other posts. Thank you!

    Have you reset the preferences for the apps? For ID, hold down Cmd-Shift-Option-Control as you restart and say yes to resetting the preferences. For Acrobat and Illustration trash the preferences folders in Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/Acrobat and/or Adobe Illustrator CS. Do this with the apps closed. Have you done the usual disk cleanup like starting from the OS startup disk and repairing permissions and something like MacJanitor to do the normal OS log cleanups?

  • Can't Print from Illustrator Anymore

    just out of the blue, can't print from Illustrator CS3 or 4 to an epson 3800. Had the printer and computer for over a year, Vista 64, never had an issue, printed hundreds of pages with this printer and various Adobe products, then bam, out of the blue, this problem.
    Uninstalled and reinstalled drivers, 4 times now!
    I can print test page from the Windows dialog in add/remove printers.
    From Illustrator I have tried different pdf and ai documents, same thing. Printing hangs, nothing comes out, and most frustrating, I can't delete the print job and have to reboot to print another page.
    I can print from the following with no problems:
    Photoshop CS4
    Microsoft Word 2004
    Firefox
    Sketchup
    Vectorworks (CAD)
    ect.
    Just never in Illustrator

    try dumping your preferences
    go to Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe Illustrator CS4 settings, drag this file out to the desktop and then try printing, also make certain the file is on your local machine and not a server.

  • Printing from Illustrator does not match Photoshop

    I have CS3. The colorsuite is matched across all platforms so colour profiles are all the same.
    I print pure cmyk colours in a document, so one square is cyan, another magenta and so on.
    When I print from photoshop, it prints the colours correct. Each colour is printed from each printers colour cartridge directly. But when I print from Illustrator, its not printing purely. The colours are darker and have mixed colours under a magnifier.
    Ive tested on different printers and with colour management off on their drivers so should use adobes.
    Any ideas why Illustrator is coming out muddier? Many thanks in advance.

    Yes the mode is definately CMYK in photoshop. See the images attached of scanned closeup of the print out of yellow.
    Yellow below is how it looks when printing from Illustrator and Acrobat. You can see its added dots to it.
    Yellow below is from Photoshop. You can see its pure yellow which is what I want.
    Edit: Just tried Overprint: Simulate in Acrobat. No change.
    Edit2: "I would like to know what's the definition of "correct"?" For a start Magenta looks like a dark red. Cyan is blue but a dark shade of it.

  • Copying objects from Illustrator CS3 to FreeHand 11.0.2

    Working on a Mac in OSX 10.4.11, I was able to select and copy objects in an open Illustrator CS2 file and paste them into an open FreeHand 11.0.2 file, where they would be fully editable. After migrating to OSX 10.6.2 and upgrading to CS3, this no longer works - the objects selected and copied from Illustrator either do not appear (only corner indicators are visible) or a pale version appears as an uneditable low-rez image with funny colors....
    Because there are so many missing features in Illustrator, it's important for me to be able to work back and forth between the two apps.  Has anyone been able to achieve this (formerly) simple interactivity?

    I got the following post from Danny Haas:
    If you go to Edit>Special>Paste Special and then select AI/EPS from the list
    it should paste just fine. It works well for me.
    Worked for me too, although text was not imported as editable text.  To do
    that had to special paste the text separately as unformatted text, and then
    reformat in FH.

    I skipped AICS3, but now use AICS4 for some tasks.
    The only solution I've found is to save the AI CS4 file as AI 8, open that
    in FHMX and copy from there.

  • Why can't I print from Illustrator a non-faded print. It always prints as if I wanted a  proof or something.

    YOu have not provided any system info, version info or details about your printer. This is not going anywhere beyond stating the obvious - your system is not color managed.

  • Since upgrading to v 4.01 I am unable to print from a .pdf opened in the browser. How can I fix this?

    Since upgrading to v 4.01 I am unable to print from a .pdf opened in the browser. How can I fix this?
    I can save the page, open in Adobe Reader and print. When in the browser the File - Print command does nothing. Printer screen does not open.
    Windows XP, all updates installed.

    Hi,
    One thing to slow it down: low ink. Please check ink cartridges and replace if required.
    Regards.
