Indesign CS6 Printing Issues

Having looked at the forums and found Adobe support less than helpful I am hopping that the comunite will be able to help me out on these frustrating issues.
We are having a number of issues while trying to print from InDesign CS6 to our OKI C830 printer
Our setup:
OS: Windows 8 64bit
InDesign CS6 Version: 8.0.1
Printer drivers: PS: 1.2.0.0 & PLC: 1.0.7.0/1.1.7
Printer: Oki C830 /256mb RAM / V1.16
Issues while printing from InDesign:
Printing multiple pages causes an error - undefined offending command stack error
After printing the first page successfully we get the error above.
I implemented the fix outlined in the following link: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2878922#2878922Changed the print option from Binary to ASCII – this helped in so much that we could then print one or two pages as needed.
Booklet printing – When trying to print a booklet it seems that the spread is not understood by the printer Try to print a booklet from ID 6 the pages are printed at random onto a single A4/3 sheet of paper.
As a work around we are fourced to create the document in ID CS6 and then expoort it to ID CS4 for printing.
Also as a side note I have tried printing to our old HP printers and they work fine. Also this issue was present on Windows 7x32 as well.
Thanks in advance for any help provided.
Cheers,
Matthew

The issues you are having can be caused by driver conflicts on the Operating system. If windows * installed the drivers automatically, it may be the wrong drivers. If they were installed from the disc, they may be outdated for Windows 8.
Please take the following steps.
1. If printer is connected by usb, disconnect the usb cable from the computer. If printer is connected on network, turn printer off.
2. Click start then click "Devices and Printers".
3. Right click on printer icon and click "Remove Device"
4. After icon is gone, single left click on Microsoft Document writer and then click Print server Properties at top of page.
5. Click on the drivers tab at the top of that window. Select anything that says "Oki" and select remove. Then select remove driver and driver package.
The driver package may not remove but it's ok as long as the driver is successfully removed.
6. Go to okidata.com and click on "Support" at top of page. In the grey area, select download a driver.
7. Next to select technology, click the dropdown window and select multifunctional product.
8. Another dropdown window will appear. Select the MC860MFP.
9. You will see three boxes. The center one will be titled "Find a Driver". Select Windows 7 X64 edition.
10. Select English MC860nMFP Series 64 Bit PS Driver for Windows (This will be the fifth option down.)
11. In the Driver Download Info box to the right, click the blu underlined file titled MC860Win7x64PS_ENU130.exe
12. Follow the installation instructions.

Moving this discussion to the InDesign forum. Reneeatwork I would strongly recommend that you also inquire with whatever support is available for OpenRIP as well.

Indesign CS6 printer settings reverting to default

Hi
We have a problem which has started recently for some students when printing from Indesign CS6. Most of them have print presets which they created months ago for printing to the default printer using secure print, A3, heavyweight paper, bypass tray etc. They were working fine, but now, when they print a document using that preset it just prints on standard paper and normal (not secure) print.
I checked their print presets and in the setup for the printer within the print preset the settings have changed to the default settings. If I delete the preset and create another one any changes I make in the setup / preferences for that printer revert back as soon as I click 'Ok'. A work around I have found is that when I click 'setup' if I click on any other printer, then click back to the correct (default) printer, then click preferences and make the changes they stick and do not change back to the default settings.
This issue happens without using print presets as well, If you choose file / print and then setup, and you do not click on any other printer and then back again to the correct printer before clicking 'preferences' any changes you make will revert to default as soon as you click 'Ok'
It only seems to be affecting Indesign.
The printer is a Xerox Docucenter C6680, using the PCL 6 driver on a print server. We are also running Papercut.
Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this? I have tried trashing the Indesign prefs but this does not seem to help
Cheers

THere appears to be a Postscript diver for this printer. Have you tried that?

Indesign CS6 - Relinking issues

Anybody had the same problem.
Indesign CS6 not recognising links of the same name. Also when hitting the skip button, it now closes the window instead of going onto next image (Link)?
Was never a problem in CS4

Hi,
The HP Deskjet 845c is actually no longer supported on Mac OS X since version 10.6:

You may try installing the 3rd party HPIJS drivers which seems to support the 845c.
Be sure to install any of the 3 required download prior adding the printer:

InDesign CS6 - Exporting Issues, PDF being sent to Photshop and saving as a psd rather than the requested pdf? Please help!

Hi
I have an issue in InDesign CS6. It has been happening the last couple of days now.
When i export to pdf. regardless of quality instead of being saved as a pdf it is being sent to Photoshop which then saves the file as a psd...
I have updated InDesign to the latest CS6 update which helped the issue yesterday but today the same problem is back. Help please what could be the problem and how do I fix it?
Any advice is very appreciated.
Thanks
Sam

ExportPDF is a subscription service for exporting PDF files into Word and Excel, from Adobe Reader. I suspect you need the InDesign forum, as InDesign is the product here.

InDesign CS4 Printing issue

Hi:
I use InDesign CS4 in my job as a church office manager. I print bulletins that are usually 3 letter-sized pages, landscape, 2-sided, and newsletters that are 2 11x17 pages, landscape, 2-sided. I'm working in Mac OS 10.5.8.
Until today, I was using a fairly old HP 8100dn printer. When I upgraded from CS3 to CS4 last summer, I found a strange thing: I couldn't print duplex on letter-sized paper from InDesign. No matter what settings I selected, the printing would not duplex. As a workaround, I had to export everything as a PDF and print from Acrobat, where the duplexing worked fine.
Weirdly, 11x17 duplex printing worked correctly from InDesign.
I never solved the problem, but when I posted this on the forum last summer, one responder said that it might have had something to do with the 8100's age and its PostScript Level 2 emulation.
Just today, my office got a new(er) printer, an HP 8150dn. This one has PostScript Level 3 emulation.
Precisely the same problem. Letter-sized won't duplex from ID; 11x17 will. Exporting letter-sized documents to PDF and printing from Acrobat is once again the workaround. It's not the worst thing in the world, but it is a bit of a hassle.
Does anyone have any sort of idea about why this is happening, or better, how it might be fixed?
Thanks much,
GT
PS: ID won't duplex when printing in portrait orientation on letter-sized paper, either.
Message was edited by: It doesn't work!

Well, I fixed it, I think… I googled "Printing issues in Mac OS," which led me to install Gutenprint 5.2.5 — whatever the heck that is — and suddenly duplex printing worked in both landscape and portrait on letter-sized paper.
Unfortunately, and yet not at all surprisingly, I now couldn't print to 11x17 at all. No matter what I did, the printer used Tray 2 (letter), or told me to put custom paper in Tray 1.
So, as a last-ditch attempt to resolve this before I jumped off the roof, I reset the printer to its factory defaults and deleted all traces of it from Mac OS's Printer and Fax window.
Then I created one new printer called "8150 (Gutenprint)" using the Gutenprint driver, and one called "8150 (11x17)" using the default HP driver, both using the same IP address. Lo and behold, when I select the one, I can print duplexed on letter size, and when I select the other, I can do the same on 11x17.
I don't know if this is the sort of thing that a real tech-head would condone, but it finally seems to work. Since I'd never be printing to both printers simultaneously, I figure I can live with this.
If anyone cares to explain to me in layman's terms what Gutenprint is all about, I'd love to be educated…

Unusual InDesign/PDF/Printer Issue

I am currently using InDesign CS3 and Acrobat Professional 8.
I received a CS4 file that I could not open from another designer, he saved it as a .inx file which opened in CS3. I made the changes to the document, relink the images, and when I would export to pdf, the images in the design will print with a faint box around them, when in fact they are images that are cutout (have no background). 3 images are .tiffs and one is a .psd. They all look fine on a computer screen, but when it prints, the box shows up. We printed the pdf on several different printers and on one printer there is a box around those images. On another printer the box is not there. I'm not sure if its an Indesign issue, PDF issue or a printer issue. I've tried exporting it as PDF/X-1a:2001, that didn't work.
Please help! Thanks.

The directory structure for the template files are the same for Desktop and Server.
When I open up the PDFs generated by both, doing a side by side comparision, the server looks blurry at 125% zoom level while desktop looks sharp.

Adobe Indesign CS6 Fonts issue

Dear Support,
We have performed a re-installation of Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
We also had to re-install Microsoft Office Home and Business 2010 as well as Adobe Indesign CS6 and Photoshop CS6.
We have installed all Windows Updates and all Adobe updates.
The problem we are experiencing is that Arial Narrow is detected by Indesign as a seperate font and not a family font.
This in turn is causing issues as we cannot select Arial Narrow Bold, Arial Narrow Bold Italic and Arial Narrow Italic.
The version of the font is 2.37.
I have read on previous posts that there are issues with font version 2.35 which is installed with Microsoft Office 2007 and there is a hotfix on Microsoft's website.
We cannot use this as stated above we use Microsoft Office Home and Business 2010.
Please inform if there is a hotfix to run from Adobe's Website or from Microsoft to resolve the above issue.
All assistance is much appreciated.
Kindest Regards.

Moving to Indesign forum.
Regards,
Romit Sinha

Indesign CS6 display issues on macbook retina

Hi
Can anybody help? I have recently got indesign cs6 for my macbook pro retina and to my horror discovered it is not capable of displaying properly on the reitna. I also understand there is no quick fix for this, in fact it wont be fixed. So the display is pixilated, does anybody know whether or not plugging the mac into a non retina display monitor will overcome this issue or is it the way the retina reads the software? Basically will it still look pixilated on a monitor? Please help me

that's why i am asking, i'm not tech savvy (cleary) but i wondered if it was the screen on the mac or the way the mac manages the software. It sounds like a silly question (to you) but i thought a seperate monitor that isnt HiRes may display it better or does a monitor just replicate the screen of the mac....see this is how little i know!

Yosemite & NEW install of InDesign CS6 - any issues?

I have Yosemite installed on my 2010 MacBook Pro. My boss wants me to purchase InDesign CS6 as a new installation. (I have not ever had any version of InDesign installed on my Mac.) I would prefer InDesign CC, but he won't go for it.
I have seen a few issues where people who have already installed versions of InDesign CS6 have problems with it after installing Yosemite.
Since mine would be a NEW installation of InDesign CS6 on a Mac running Yosemite, I wonder if there are any known issues.
I don't want to purchase the software and then run into problems.
(I am not having any problems with already installed versions of Photoshop CS6 and Dreamweaver CS6 and Yosemite.)

Nonsense, you DON'T loose access to your files, you can't edit them without having the appropriate version, but all output like PDF, JPG, etc. is accessible. No workaround is needed as you suggest.
With your argumentation you will loose your files also, when you have to update your OS as CS6 will not run forever. Only CS6 versions.
Have a look into this discussion: Re: Just subscribed to InDesign CSS - problem: how can I open old Pagemaker 5 and 6 Files? when it comes to "eternal life" of CS6.
Adobe is not allone with its subscription model. MS introduced several Years ago MS Office365 which will sooner or later the only method to get MS Office (as an official MS Instructor told in a public forum not long ago in Germany). The problem is, that today's OS are changing very fast and it is—contrary to 10 or 12 Years ago—it becomes more and more impossible to make software so, that it will be compatible more than 4 Years, and this period is decreasing rapidly.
Another thing is, both, Adobe and Microsoft make it more easier to change OS without additional cost. In former times you was sticked with the OS you had. Mobile OS applications are only accessible with subscriptions. Adobe has a lot of them and some important companions to InDesign will come, or with MS Office: you can install their software only with Office365 and not with the permanent versions. File mobility becomes more and more important.

InDesign CS6 installation issue

We used the Adobe Download Manager to get a trial of InDesign CS6.
After the download completed the user was prompted to restart the computer.
We rebooted the system the Adobe Download Manager did not start again but we found the folder where the bits were saved and have tried to run the Set-up.exe from there.
We can launch the Set-up.exe using Run As Administrator but nothing happens.\
The process consumes approx 8 MB of RAM and does not provide a visible window to open or bring to the foreground.
What steps are needed to install this trial?
No instructions are included in the folder where the download was saved.

Are you using the Adobe Download Assistant to download the software or the Adobe Application Manager? Assuming the install files downloaded properly you can review any errors which occured when you invoked the installer by following the steps listed at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html.

Indesign cs4 printing issues

i have recently connected my imac to magicolor 2550 and have been trying to print indesign file. Printing does happen but with so many text characters missing. Image is ok. If i converted it to a pdf files the printing is ok. previous to 2550 i had 2450 and with this the printing of indesign file was ok. Does anyone know what the problem is?

Try this: go into the print driver (the "Setup..." button at the bottom of InDesign's print dialog box) and set your custom paper size there. Then, back in the InDesign dialog, set the Paper Size to "Defined By Driver."

InDesign CS6 print number of copies issue

Hello!
I have a document that I needed 25 copies of, so I set the # of copies to 25 and off it went. No issue. However, now when I go to a different doc and I print, the # of copies stayed at 25 when I only needed 1. I have to remember to change the # of copies every time I go to print. I was wondering, if there is a preference or setting within the print options for InDesign to return each doc back to 1 copy instead of keeping the previous # of copies?
Thanks!

Eugene,
Oh, ok. That's a bummer. Oh, well, lol. Thanks anyway!

Indesign CS6 Font issue after saving

I have had this issue come up about about 4 times since I have been running CS6.
When I open a customers document everything is fine no errors. I save it the same way I do the rest of the 30 jobs a day. When I re open the fonts will not load. If I open the customers document again it is fine and all fonts work, this cause problems because all of th changes that have been done need to be redone, because the only way I have found to fix this is to save over it with a new copy of the customers files.
I am running CS^ creative suite on a intel 27" iMac OS 10.7.3
The file is being saved to a prinergy job server not sure what version of server software that is running. We have at least 30 jobs sometimes over 45 indesign jobs a day getting processed and it only seems to be a couple. I tried restarting indesign then the computer but no luck. If I have my troubled document open and the find font window open it shows that there are fonts not available, I then open the customers document and everythign is fine. With both documents open at the same time I can toggle between them and see the fonts are there for 1 but not the other.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you working with a Packaged file? If so, the problem is probably that youare moving the file out of the directory that holds the Document Fonts folder that is part of the package, or saving with a new name.
