I am unable to print PDF's using either Adobe Reader or Safari. In Adobe Reader, I get an error message from my Cannon printer that says, "/usr.libexec/cups/filter/pstocupsraster failed". In Safari, I can only print the first page of a PDF.

To try to resolve this problem, I have done the following actions.
1 - I have run Disk Warrior.
2 - I have repaired permissions.
3 - I have deleted all plist that are either Cannon or Adobe.
4 - I have downloaded and installed the lastest versions of Adobe Reader and the Cannon printer drivers.
I am still unable to print PDF's.
In Safari, I can print only the first page. In a multipage PDF, Safari only seems to recognize the first page.
In Adobe Reader, I get an error message from my printer: "/usr/libexec/cups/filter/pstocupsraster failed".
Any help would be greatly appreicated!

Quit Safari.
Open the Library folder in your home folder as follows:
☞ If running OS X 10.7 or later, hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar.
☞ If running an older version of OS X, select Go ▹ Go to Folder… from the Finder menu bar and copy the line below into the text box that opens:
~/Library
Delete the following items from the Library folder:
Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Preferences/com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist
Preferences/QuickTime Preferences
Relaunch Safari and test.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Select "/var/log/cups/error_log" from the file list. Post the messages from the time of the last printing attempt.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.

  • I get the following error when i try to print to a brother hl 5470dw printer  using mac 10.6.8 : /usr/libexec/cups/filter/pstoraster failed

    i get the following error when i try to print to a brother hl 5470dw printer  using mac 10.6.8 : /usr/libexec/cups/filter/pstoraster failed

    This seems to come up sometimes.  Here is a very detailed discussion, but at the end is a configuration file entry that might be simple to fix (or not): /usr/libexec/cups/filter/pstocupsraster failed | Apple Support Communities

  • /usr/libexec/cups/filter cgpdftoraster failed (Epson Stylus Photo 1400)

    10.5.2 appears to have added support for my printer when it is plugged in to my airport express - before I upgraded it did not work at all, now it works almost perfectly.
    However, when i try to print a book from aperture (Aperture 2.0 Trial), the printer bounces on the dock and the job says that it is working, then an error flashes up and disappears and then the status changes to "stopped".
    I managed to take a screenshot in the second that the error is displayed, and it is as follows:
    "/usr/libexec/cups/filter cgpdftoraster failed"
    I have not tried printing a book when the printer is directly plugged into my laptop yet, as this is the first time that I have ever tried - everything else seems to work perfectly (Printing photos / printing from Lightroom), but not printing this book.
    The printer is an Epson Stylus Photo 1400 (A3+), but it does not seem to be a printer problem - as it never tries to send the file to the printer, it breaks before it gets that far.
    Does anyone know why this is happening and have any suggestions about how to fix it?
    Thanks.

    I concur, Aperture 2.0.1 on OS X 10.5.2 was NOT able to print to the Epson Stylus Photo 1400, and resulted in an "/usr/libexec/cups/filter/cgpdftoraster failed" message at the print driver.
    Exporting the image from Aperture to Photoshop, and printing using Photoshop, printed effortlessly; I was even able to use "Super B" paper (13"x19") Sheet-Feeder Borderless with Ultra Premium Photo Paper Semi-Glossy.

  • An image comes on my screen, but I can only see the first page.  When I try to print, I get a blue question mark and can't print.

    Recently when I pull up a multi-page document from an internet site, I can only see the first page.  I can't scroll through it.  When I try to print, I get a big blue questionmark.  What's the solution to this, please?

    I am trying to copy and paste a story from a blog.  I can only view the first page on the Pages app.  How do I see the rest of the pages?

    Thank you.  That helped in the first step.  I was able to copy text onto multiple pages.
    Now I can't get the pictures to copy.  How do I get my pictures to copy?
    Also once the blog page is on pages, how do i make changes to it?
    This my story and the page I am trying to copy.

  • HELP I keep getting an error message on my IPHONE 4 that says Unable to connect to Cellular Data. How do I fix this?

    HELP I keep getting an error message on my IPHONE 4 that says Unable to connect to Cellular Data and I have tried to reset network settings and factory reset but nothing helping so far. Took it to Verizon and they couldn't fix it either, said it's a problem with the phone itself and to contact Apple. My warranty is expired so Apple isn't much help either. How do I fix this? I have a data package so confused and I have had my phone for over a year but never had this issue before.

    I am getting this message also.... mine cant update too...

  • How can I make the first page of a PDF load before the whole file on a website

    I work for a company that loads they brochures in PDF format on their website and the PDF's were formerly created in Indesign and converted.
    When the files were  viewed on the website, the first page loaded right away while the others loaded. Now I have created an interactive PDf with buttons in Fireworks, but when I convert the file to PDF and load it on the web, the first page does not load until the whole file loads which is about 5MB.
    My employer likes the buttons and interactivity, but does not want teh customer sitting there for a few minutes looking at an empty screen while the whole file loads to view.
    Does anyone know what I mean? I could use some help.
    Thanks!

    Make sure that fast web view is enabled.

  • Can only see the first page of document and when I scroll the document is cut off.

  • Having issues with docx files that contain images. I can only see the first page of a multipage docx (the docx only contain images)

    I'm trying to open a file for school on my ipad.  The file is a 14 page document that is text in the form of an image (i.e. someone scanned the document and pasted into micrsoft word).  When I open the file (docx format) in safari I only see one page.  If I save the file on my computer as a .doc I have the same problem.  If I save it as a pdf, I have no problem viewing it.  I was wondering if anyone else is having the same issue and if so, what they've done to solve it.  I use my ipad heavily for school, and do not always have access to a computer, so a solution that stays within the ipad would be best, although at this point i think my best option is to save it as a pdf on a computer to view on my ipad. 

    Hey all,
    I solved this problem. It was not a code-problem but a printer problem. This code do not work on a BrotherHL1660e-printer. On all other printer I tried it works fine.
