I cannot print, get error 'An unknown error occurred while printing."

I can see that hundreds of other people also have this problem and I can't understand why Mozilla don't fix it.
When I go to print an email or a receipt, whether by printer or by PDF, I *sometimes* get the error, 'An unknown error occurred while printing.'
It is very frustrating as the problem is intermittent. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't... even with the same page being printed. Incidentally, that page can be printed in both Chrome and Internet Explorer without a problem.
I have tried other "solutions" in similar, now closed, threads. However, 'reset' is not working for me. Closing Firefox and reopening doesn't work either. I have the latest version of Firefox: 14.0.1 and have Windows x64. There is enough available space in the cache...
I'm just at my wits end with this.

With the latest updates FF 19 BETA and Acrobat X. The new one with the black PDF screen), I'm having difficulty too printing to Adobe PDF. System Win 7 x 64.
Printing to physical printers not an issue.
No errors, but (Not Responding either in FF or Acrobat.) Printing to the PDF printer directly sometimes works. Using the work-around fast enough, it seems to always work.
I found a work-around:
Goto Print Preview
Select Print
Type in your file name
IMMEDIATELY press OK and Minimize Firefox.
All of the progress boxes/windows are getting confused otherwise. With FF opened as a normal page, there are too many different progress boxes.
Acrobat has one, the windows print driver has one, FF seems to have one and they all can't be on top.
They will if FF is minimized.
Incidentally if FF is killed, the "Creating Adobe PDF" shows its face from being hidden.
I did reset Firefox.
This is seriously messed up now. It used to work fine until the last round of updates from M$, Adobe and FF.

In the above website do NOT copy the command, you have to type it in. Webpage Error.

The problem is, I believe, a hidden character in the command on this webpage which follows the Paste function and results in the error Unknown Parameter error.

Hi John,
You might have better luck posting this in the library feedback forum here:

It seems odd to me that the TechNet library feedback forum lives under the MSDN branding, but that seems to be the case.

I keep getting "error occurred while attempting to import file *******. The disc your are attempting to use is full." I have an external hard drive that I moved files over to, but apparently they're also still on my hard drive? HELP!

I keep getting "error occurred while attempting to import file *******. The disc your are attempting to use is full." I have an external hard drive that I moved files over to, but apparently they're also still on my hard drive? HELP!

So you have backed up the content of the computer's hard drive, too?
That usually is a great idea since it is possible to lose use of the system
if parts of it have accidentally been removed or get over-written, or the
main system files get corrupted, when the hard disk drive gets too full.
If you have not trashed the originals of your created content, that remain
after you made copies on an external hard drive or other device, then
that is what you'd have to do to reclaim the capacity still in use by them.
What are specifications of the hard disk drive? The unused capacity
verses the used, in GB? If the hard drive has less than 15 to 20%
free or unused capacity, you could run into trouble. Mine are 40-50%
unused hard drive space, so ample room is available for automatic
Virtual Memory to use that capacity as temporary swap file space.
This is helpful when the computer could use more physical RAM
memory capacity, but doesn't have it. Or if the RAM is maxxed out
and you can't add any more. Virtual Memory is part of OS X and the
system automatically can use as much as is available, but it is better
to be sure there is plenty of resources available to include chip RAM
as well as unused or free hard drive capacity for use as VM.
If for some reason your files in Trash won't go away when you empty
it, you may have to restart. Be sure you have not included any System
files in the content in the Trash, or the Mac may not start up later on.
You may have to boot the computer from the install-restore OS X DVD
and run Repair Disk from its version of Disk Utility, to be sure it's OK.
I'm guessing that by now you know enough about the vintage system
in the older hardware to figure it out, so I won't write about it now.
In any event... hopefully you can simply trash the files, but check them
carefully, & you may need to remove (copy to archive first) even more.
Good luck & happy computing!

Cannot install XCode - error occurred while evaluating Javascript

Evening all,
I just tried installing XCode onto my Snow Leopard disk, but I get an error saying:
Xcode can't be installed on this disk. An error occurred while evaluating JavaScript for this package.
I've run verify/repair disk permissions and also repair disk and still get the same error.
Any Ideas?

I probably can't be of much help here, but since you haven't gotten any responses yet, I'll try. The only thing I can recommend is making sure Xcode is completely uninstalled, and then re-downloading it from Apple's site and try installing it again. If re-downloading it doesn't work, then I don't know what it could be. Hopefully someone else around here will.
Also, make sure you are installing version 3.2 of Xcode -- it's the only one that runs on Snow Leopard.
Finally, I'm not sure what you mean when you say "my Snow Leopard disk". Snow Leopard is an operating system, not a hard disk. I'm assuming that you have a Mac (Mac Mini, iMac, Mac Pro, MacBook, MacBook Pro) -- is this correct? And you are running Snow Leopard as your operating system, yes?
I'm just trying to get as much information as possible, because you never know what info will be helpful in solving your problem, if not for me then for the next guy who comes along and tries to answer your question.
Anyways, hope your problem gets worked out. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Hey Debbiered1,
Follow the steps in this link to resolve the issue:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open

Keep getting error occurred while formatting the disk using boot camp with usb

So I keep getting the above error when trying to use boot camp with a USB drive. I have tried with more than one flash drive, all formatted to FAT32, multiple isos, both ripped right from a windows 7 ultimate dvd and downloaded, and I have made sure the iso was unmounted. I have also tried all different combinations of checking the options in the boot camp assistant menu. Any ideas on how to get this to work?

I was mistakenly thinking of the Fat16 limit. That is my mistake.
When bootcamp assistant failed to create the USB from my iso disk (with no explanation), I decided to experiment a little with the dd and cp utilities. dd failed, and cp told me the install file was too big.
The install.wim on my iso is 4,351,019,025 bytes. So even if 4GB is the file size limit, it is too big. 4GB is 4,294,967,296 bytes if I recall.
If I am still right about the file size, smaller editions of windows 7 would be able to fit on the flash drive, or people can have an actual DVD with windows 7 and install from there.

Error Occurred While Converting the file "Track Name". An Unknown Error Occurred (-50)

I'm trying to add the CD Ben Howard - I Forgot Where We Were to iTunes but I keep getting
Error Occurred While Converting the file "Track Name". An Unknown Error Occurred (-50).
Could someone please help?

Importing problems have been rife in the recent iTunes release.
Not sure how to solve your problem, but until a solution comes along feel free to rip in another program, such as Windows Media Player, and add the resulting MP3s to your iTunes library.

Error occured while trying to access desktop:

Hi All,
I've search all the threads I can find on here and tried everything they have suggested but to no avail.
I have a customer desktop which is working in Dev/QA, it's now gone into Production and I get:
Error occured while trying to access desktop:"[location of desktop]t". The object does not exit or you are not authorized to access it .if this probblem persiste contact your system administrator.
The object exists as the main_rules will apply the pcd location of the desktop.
I've made sure the permissions of all the folders and the objects match QA and the Everyone group and eu role has Read and end user assigned.
Security Zone permissions match and it works if I assign Super Admin to the user.
Any help appreciated!

Hello All,
I just experienced the same. I had all properties set ok, but no acces for the desktop when loggin in.
So I did what is written above: just changed the Desktop Id and magically I could login/access it
Probably PCD inconsistencies is the cause of this issue.
Best Regards,
Marco

Download! not working on n81 "Error occurred while...

Hello all,
whenever I try to open Applications under the download! menu I get "Error occurred while browsing" if I choose details the phone displays "General: System error" I did try removing and refreshing the list a number of times and the phone(n81) has been updated to the latest firmware. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi,
I had the same problem on my N95. I eventually stumbled on the fix.
Open Download! and select Option, Application, Remove content
Exit Download! application
Re-open Download! application, but only connect using a wireless connection. Using a 3g connection just won't work.
Once the list is re-populated, using a 3g connection should work again.
Cheers,

Cant update CF (Error occurred while installing the update: Failed Signature verification)

Hi I'm suffering with this issue Bug#3506758 - MySQL 5.6 Unable to Execute Queries
and therefore am trying to update cf 10 to version 13 (current version is 8) however I get 'Error occurred while installing the update: Failed Signature verification'
I'm running Mavericks on Mac.
Can anyone point me to a step by step way to resovle this please (I'm new to Macs and am a cf coder but alas dont have any experience in server admin).
Thanks very much indeed.
Nick

I was going to suggest that you needed to install the mandatory updater, but the Adobe help page for it says you shouldn't need to if you already have update 8 installed. Might be worth verifying though.

I cannot print from Firefox, keep getting "an unknown error occurred while printing."

Whenever I attempt to print something from Firefox (email, receipt, and so on), printing fails and I get the message "an unknown error occurred while printing." Printing from Internet Explorer works without any problem.

I came across the same problem today, also using a 2600N. Window updated the drivers through a Windows update yesterday, so I suspect that's what caused the problem since it was working fine before.
I tried the reset in about:config and that didn't do jack, but I was able to solve it by removing the printer with device manager and then disconnecting it from my PC, plugging it back in, and letting Windows reconfigure it automatically. It works now.
Good luck

An Unknown error occurred while printing

Product Name and Number: 3052A -=All-in-One Printer J611g
Windows Vista 32-bit
An Unknown error occurred while printing
No changes made to the system. 2 other HP printers hooked up to computer just fine, no issues, but the printers were not working due to age, etc.
I just bought this printer last night, and cannot believe the issues I am having trying to hook it up, and getting it running. I have been doing everything suggested to me, and things still keep happening that I cannot print yet!!
"An Unknown error occurred while printing" is the message I am getting when trying to print an invoice. I have uninstalled the printer, and reinstalled it, and at that time it showed everything to be working.....CD downloaded good, and the USB cable was connected correctly. I have run a HP Diagnostic, and all of it showed green check marks by everything. I have done HP updates, have done window updates, and I have NEVER had this kind of an issue with hooking up a HP Printer. Is it because it is for wireless also, and I do not have that hooked up at this time? Do I need to return/exchange this one for another HP Printer? I am really confused, need to get these invoices printed for customers, and what am I suppose to do? I really don't have time to sit around too long, and wait for solutions to this issue.
