I cannot print a pdf document on my HP 7520 printer.

When I open the document and click on print, it opens the printer dialog box. Since I have three printers installed on my windows 7 computer, I have to select the correct printer. When I scroll through the printer list, the HP7520 printer does not show up, so I have no way to print the document. As a test, I used photoshop to try to print the document and the 7520 printer did show up in the photoshop printer list and I was able to select the correct 7520 printer and print the document. Anyone have any idea why this will not work with adobe reader 11?

This turns out to be a registry error which occured when I de installed the older HP printer. It works now that the registry was corrected.

I am having trouble printing a PDF document. Whenever I click print nothing happens but when I am printing documents from Word, Excel etc they print without a problem. I've tried printing as image but that did not work. I uninstalled Adobe Reader XI and downloaded Adobe Reader X instead and that still doesn't work. I have Windows 7.

Printing a PDF document using Java 1.4 Printing API

Hi,
When I tried to print a PDF document using JAVA 1.4 Printing API, I got the following exception.
Exception in thread "main" sun.print.PrintJobFlavorException: invalid flavor
at sun.print.Win32PrintJob.print(Win32PrintJob.java:290)
at Printing.main(Printing.java:40)
I am able to print the same PDF document using Acrobat reader.
Is PDF format not supported in JAVA 1.4 printing API? or is something wrong in my code?
here is the sample JAVA program that I was using
import javax.print.*;
import javax.print.attribute.*;
import java.io.*;
public class Printing {
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
String filename = args[0];
PrintRequestAttributeSet pras =
new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.PDF;
PrintService defaultService =
PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
DocPrintJob job = defaultService.createPrintJob();
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(filename);
DocAttributeSet das = new HashDocAttributeSet();
Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(fis, flavor, das);
job.print(doc, pras);
Thread.sleep(10000);
System.exit(0);
Thank you
Sumana

Here's a pure Java solution (that works!):
http://www.mycgiserver.com/~zhouwu/pdf/readme.html
The caveats are:
- prints only to the default printer
- requires a properties file located in the home directory
my workaround for the last:
     * Print a PDF file to the default printer (might consume lots of memory!).
     * <p>
     * <b>Required:</b>
     * <ul>
     * <li>a file "acrobat.properties" needs to be in the working directory. The content is:

     * <p>
     * Note: the file "acrobat.properties" is expected to be in the user's home directory. As this is not always feasible,
     * the system property "user.home" is mapped to "user.dir" for the time of execution.
     * @param fileName Name of PDF file to print.
     * @throws Exception on error.
     * @see <a href="http://www.mycgiserver.com/~zhouwu/pdf/readme.html">PDF Server (Silent) Printing</a>
    public void printPDF(String fileName) throws Exception {

        vi.setDocumentInputStream(new FileInputStream(fileName));
        vi.printAll();
        System.setProperty("user.home", oldHome);
    }//printPDF()I just need the following additional files in my CLASSPATH: PDFPrinter.jar, acrobat.jar and MRJToolkitStubs.zip. Despite the note at the site above that "printing quality is not very good", i can't agree: the print quality is quite good. Not perfect, but acceptable for most uses.

Acrobat X and XI will not print many pdf documents.

Acrobat X and XI will not print many pdf documents. When I click Print, the document fades and I get a dialog box that says "Adobe Acrobat has Stopped Working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." I was experiencing this with Acrobat X so I upgraded to XI, but the problem is exactly the same. I am using Windows 7 Professional operating system.

Thank you for your reply. I have several printers available on our network,
the program doesn't even go as far as allowing me to select a printer. I am
trying to print to an HP 1320n or a LANIER MP C5502 PCL 6. I have changed
the default printer, but the result is still the same. In does the same
thing with Adobe (Standard XI) PDF set as the default printer.

Can't scan to PDF file on HP Photosmart 7520 printer

I have two HP Photosmart 7520 printers - one in my home and one at summer home. On one when I scan I get the option of document or photo and PDF or jpeg. On the other printer, I am not given any options and it automatically scans into a jpeg file. How can I get the PDF format option to work on printer number 2?

Hi @healthdesigner,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that you cannot scan to PDF on your HP Photosmart 7520 printer. I am happy to help you with your scanning!
For further assistance, I will need some additional information:
If the printer is connected, Wireless, Ethernet, or USB.
If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
If the printer is able to make copies.
Please see this post, Want Good Answers? Ask Good Questions, by @Bob_Headrick, so you can get the most out of these forums.
Thank you for posting, and hope to hear from you soon!

I cannot print adobe pdf documents. Password protected. How do I fix this problem?

You'll need to remember it or recreate the PDF from the original file.
If there were an easy way to get around that, passwords wouldn't be worth much.

Cannot Print Some PDF documents

Hello All,
I am unable to print some PDF documents to my printer HP (Laserjet Pro 400 color MFP). The MAC OS is Moutain Lion. The documents look like they are printing but no print job is produced and no error message is given.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Many Thanks

Hello eorilly5,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you are unable to print from anything from your printer.
I would recommend these troublehsooting steps from the article named Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3147.
Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
All the very best,
Sterling

I cannot get my pdf documents to print for me how can I make them print

I cannot get a pdf document to print off of my computer. It wants to go to be saved to my files and then if I try to print it comes up blank. Can you help me?

Look in the print dialog for a check box that says "print to file". Deselect it.

Why can't I print a PDF document?

Advice please on what other steps I can take.

Pat Willener,
Many thanks for the helpful suggestions. . Sean Mitchell's suggestion of

Very many thanks for the assistance

How can I print a PDF document in OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion?

I just upgraded to OSX 10.6.3 and now 10.8 Mountain Lion. I am extremely disappointed that I can no longer print (to my printer) ANY PDF documents either through Adobe or straight from a website. Is there a way to deactivate the security feature that is blocking this? I also own the newest version of Parallels (desktop 7) and cannot print through Windows either. It's beyond annoying. Thank you!
Matt

I can print (such as e-mails, driving directions, etc), but nothing that is related to Adobe or PDF. I have a Dell 1710 printer that is connected to my airport extreme wirelessly. The printer has always worked on my I-mac since I bought it in 2007. It stopped printing PDFs ont he Mac when Adobe was upgraded about a year ago. I was then able to print through Adobe in Parallels/Windows. Since the new OSX 10.6 and 10.8 came out, nothing prints through Adobe in either place. I hope that helps.

When printing in Excel It is always want to use the acrobat X pro trial, which the trial is expired. I do not want to use acrobat X pro trial anymore. How can I reset it and use simple acrobat to print my PDF document?

Hi screen name,
Adobe PDF printer gets installed when you install Acrobat 10 Pro.
To use this printer you need to purchase Acrobat. Once the trial period is over you cannot use the printer to create pdf files.
An alternative way for you is to utilize Microsoft's own inbuilt pdf engine.
You can simply open the file and select 'Save as' and in the type list select 'pdf'

Whenever I try to print a pdf document I get a message saying there a runtime error, I have adobe r

Whenever I try to print a PDF document, I get a message indicating there is a runtime error, and for me to contact you. My system is Adobe reader 9.3

A runtime error is a computer error that appears in the form of a message box consisting of a particular code along with its corresponding definitions. Usually, a user will notice that the computer becomes noticeably slow before a runtime error appears.
After the runtime error message has been displayed and closed, the software that shows this error would normally close or freeze. In some cases, the operating system will reboot.
A wide variety of errors cause these problems. These include:
conflicts between the TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident Program)
currently running applications
software issues
memory problems
and harmful applications such as computer viruses
With this, the procedures necessary to correct this type of error differs from one case to another. If the runtime error you are experiencing were caused by a TSR then you can simply use the "end task" function of the Task Manager.
If you consequently encounter a runtime error that is persistent, the software that displays the error message has certain issues and problems. You can resolve this problem by visiting the website of the software's developer and downloading and installing all the updates and patches needed for the smooth running of the software. However, if you have already installed all updates and patches and the runtime error message still appears, you can opt to uninstall and reinstall the program.
Another type of runtime error is usually caused by memory issues. In this case, it is a good idea to first contact the developer of the application that caused the error message. More often than not, they can provide you with a possible set of solutions. But if their given solutions cannot resolve the issues, you need to contact the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard and ask for a technician or someone from the company who can assess your hardware.
A different type of runtime error is caused by harmful programs such as viruses and other malicious processes. These harmful programs are capable of altering the computer's settings. With this, they are very much capable of generating runtime errors. In order to prevent runtime errors that are caused by such malicious programs, you need to frequently update your antivirus software. If your PC does not have a good software security program, you need to install one and scan your computer for possible threats to the stability of your system and the security of your private data.
What all that means is: There is something in the Adobe Reader that is not functioning properly once it is opened.
The best way to resolve this is to:
1. Uninstall Reader (using the Control Panel).
2. Download and install the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility (msicuu2.exe)
3. Run the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to remove the installer for Reader 9 (and previous versions if they are still installed).
4. Download and install a new copy of Reader, and update it (if required) to 9.3.1.

Has anyone been able to use auto select printing on pdf documents?

Does anyone have a fix for being able to preset the printer trays to a specific paper size to allow for autoselect printing of pdf documents with multiple size pages? The mac printing options only allow for letter or legal with scaling. I need to be able to print large documents with both size pages. Windows environement can handle this with ease. I'm very surprised Apple cannot.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro do not open when printing a pdf document. Can anyone help?

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro do not open when printing a pdf document, instead I open it with Adobe Reader X to be able to print.
Can anyone help?

Hi Edna,
It sounds like Adobe Reader X is your default PDF file handler. Launch Adobe Reader X. Choose Edit > Preferences > General. Click the 'Select Default PDF Handler' button at the bottom and choose Acrobat 9 from the drop-down menu. Click Apply, then OK.
Restart your computer. Acrobat 9 should now be your default PDF file handler again.
