Leopard, InDesign CS2, and Xerox Phaser 6120 Broken

I just updated to Leopard andexcept for a few minor burps, most everything is working except printing from InDesign CS2. When I try to print to my Xerox Phaser 6120, in the printer queue window I get the error:
/usr/libexec/cups/filter/pictwpstops failed
If I look in the CUPS logs, I see this:

It looks to me like xc6120pstops is crashing and dumping core. Or maybe the issue is with pictwpstops . If I switch over to the "Generic" PostScript printer everything works just fine (but I loose duplexing). And no problems printing from other applications, at least yet.
Has anyone else seen a similar problem?

I seem to be having the same problem with my Xerox Phaser 6120 although it is not application specific. xc6120pstops crashes even if I just print a test page. Generic postscript printer works fine. I've managed to set the printer default to use the duplexer via the web interface, but I'd still rather have full access to the driver.
The Crashreporter log (which oddly reports that xc6120pstops is PPC even though it should be Intel) indeed shows a crash, but I don't know how to interpret any of the detailed information:

Just starting to use InDesign CS2 and can't pull up my previous Pagemaker files; what do I do?

Just starting to use InDesign CS2 and can't pull up my previous Pagemaker files; says "damaged and cannot be recovered"
How can I retrieve those?

I have no idea what "diagnostic recompose" is...
Step 3 in this linked technote will show you how to do a diagnostic recompose - on a Mac. Instructions for doing it on Windows are out there somewhere, I'll try to find 'em if you can't. The technote tells you to remove graphics from master pages; I'd also unembed graphics (make sure all graphics are linked, not stored in the PageMaker doc) in order to try to get it to open up in ID.
I'm sure there are more things you can try, if that doesn't work, but my broken-PageMaker-doc skills are pretty rusty.
Also, you may want to edit your response on the forums webpage, and delete it from your future email-replies, so your email address and phone number aren't preserved for all to see on the forums, forever.
Edit: Step 3, not step 4

Leopard and Xerox Phaser 6100

I am unable to get my work Phaser 6100 to work with my MBP. I have installed the drivers a couple of times, but still can't select the printer from the list that OS X leopard seems to support. Does anyone know how I can add the printer as I am having lots of problems trying to get things printed.
Cheers.

Hi, interestingly I am able to print directly to the Phaser 6100 but since upgrading to 10.5.2 I am unable to use the Phaser with my Airport Extreme (N) Base Station. I have sent this information to both Apple and Xerox but I have yet to hear from either of them.
The 10.5.2 update is also causing problems for two other iMac G5 in the household when trying to print through the Airport. Unlike my MBP they can intermittently print, but I can't seem to find a pattern.
I have to say that I am quite surprised that Apple successfully maintained support over the major upgrade from 10.4 to 10.5 but broke it on a minor update.
On a side note, when trying to debug the issue I discovered that the driver for the 6100 (and for that matter the Samsung CLP-510) have yet to be compiled as Universal Binaries.

Acrobat 7, Leopard InDesign CS2, printing but with poor results

I know there are issues with Leopard and Acrobat, I'm just trying to see if my problem falls into that category or if it is something else.
I am running Leopard 10.5.1 on a MacBook Pro with CS2. In general, I am able to print with my PDF printer and get good results from several programs but NOT from InDesign (CS2, 4.0.5). I've got a two page document with lots of small text and graphics, which used to print just beautiful as a PDF (for my students to download from a course website). Now, however, the fonts in the PDF have terrible resolution and look awful! But, I can still generate beautiful PDFs with terrific looking fonts from Mellel (a word processing program I use for Hebrew). This is using the same settings in Distiller and in my Adobe PDF printer.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Karyn

Can I export solid objects into Illustrator / InDesign CS2 and maintain vector format

Can Adobe 3D export solid objects in vector format into Illustrator or InDesign CS2 suite?
I'm interested in taking solid 3D objects developed in Pro/E 2.0 and import from Adobe 3D into Adobe Illustrator & InDesign in vector format for page layout. I want to import solid objects in vector format and maintain color scheme and surface textures.
I'm running 3D trial version and can successfully import 3D objects (asm & prt files) solid views from Pro/E but can only export wireframe views from Adobe 3D Toolkit into Illustrator or InDesign (CS2). Solid objects first have to get rendered in a raster format before importing into Illustrator.
If this function is not supported does anyone have experience doing this using Quadraspace or Right Hemisphere 3D software?

Any help???? After 2 weeks I still can't learn from Adobe or Right Hemisphere people how to import solid objects in vector format into Illustrator with color and surface textures in place. All imported objects in vector format are converted to a wireframe or line format unless they are first rasterized.

XML in InDesign CS2 and Visual Studio 2005

Hello!
A year ago I made a plug in to InDesign CS1 with the purpose of importing an XML file and create a lay outed table of its contents. The reason I choose to make a plug in was because I didn't find InDesign very dynamic in its XML support.
Now I'm being asked to do a similar but more complex solution for InDesign CS2, which I never used before, and I understand a lot has happened since CS1.
How is the XML support in CS2 now a days?
And by the way, is there any problems with Visual Studio 2005 and the InDesign SDK that you know of?
Best Regards
Kristoffer

I'm sorry, I posted this thread in the wrong area. I will repost in the InDesign SDK area. My bad.
Best Regards

I have InDesign CS2 and CS Premium. Will all of my CS programs update to CS5.5?

I have CS Premium and an upgrade to InDesign(CS2). I know that CS Premium alone will not be eligible for the upgrade but since I have InDesign CS2 I'm assuming I'm eligible. My question might sound silly but will my CS programs update as well? For example, Photoshop CS, Illustrator CS, and so forth will they update to CS5.5 since I have InDesign CS2?

You are eligible for an upsell, not an upgrade. Here's an Amazon link: http://amzn.to/r5ArLl
And yes, you'll get the full suite of products but not all are at 5.5. Some are still at 5.1.

Snow Leopard 10.6.4 and Xerox Phaser 8560

Ok, so I got the new trackpad, which to be useful, requires upgrading to 10.6.4. After I did, it worked great, problem, my printer stopped working correctly and would print irregular. This is a known issue going back to 10.6.3 back in April. I am running USB to the printer and due to my office configuration can't set it up for ethernet printing. Does anyone have a patch for this yet? I had to reload SL 10.6.2 so my printer would work, but of course I loose the functionality of my trackpad now. Xerox blames Apple, and Apple blames Xerox... and the wheel goes round...

I would get after Xerox to issue updated drivers.

My Xerox Phaser 6120 is no longer compatible with Firefox. There is no new driver. How can I revert to a previous version so I can browse AND print?

For a few months, I have been unable to print from Firefox. I assumed it was a setting or something on my network, but today figured out it's my old printer driver that is no longer compatible. There is no new driver, nor will there be one. I love my printer, and do not want to buy a new one just to be able to use Firefox AND print. Switching back and forth between Firefox and Safari isn't an option. Any suggestions? Is there a way to regress my Firefox so it can work like it used to? Any workarounds? Thanks very much.

Also, if I can do that without destroying my library and files, it would be great!!

Page Setup Issue with InDesign CS3 and Xerox DC240 w/ external Fiery

Running on OS 10.4.11
Printing to Xerox DC2400 w/ External Fiery (driver v1.1 v3016.102)
Application InDesign CS3 v. 5.0.2
When I send a document in CS3 to print, I have to constantly go to the page setup and select the proper paper size and orientation in order to print properly. In CS2, I was able to set all this by simply going to the Setup window and designating my paper size and orientation there. Does anyone have the same or similar issue? Were you able to resolve it? All suggestions are welcomed. I have contacted Xerox and they say that this is not an issue with their driver, they say that this is an application level issue!!
Thank you.

I think I may have figured it out by trial and error. In the Pages palette, there's an option in the pulldown called "Panel Options". I set both sizes to "Small" and turned off "Thumbnails". Seems to have worked - knock wood. Presumably when thumbnails is turned on, InDesign is updating the contents of the document AND the pages palette thumbnail simultaneously. Anyway, that seems to have fixed it. Just wanted to post this solution FYI for anyone else who may be having this problem.

Leopard, Photoshop CS2 and Printing

I recently upgraded to Leopard. I use Photoshop CS2 with an Epson R2400. After the Leopard upgrade, I am no longer able to select Color Management in the printer driver window of Photoshop.
I installed the latest driver for the R2400. It doesn't help that Epson recently renamed their paper. But the color is way off on my prints now.
Any suggestions?

CS2 is not supported in Leopard and never will be.
There are no patches, there will never be any patches.
CS2 is running in Rosetta another level of problems. Its time to upgrade.

Anyone's experience with Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign CS2 and Leapord?

We are going to upgrade to Leapord early next week, but are wondering of anyone has experienced any problems with Adobe's CS2 versions. Adobe says that CS3 will mostly work and will have future updates--but said nothing about CS2 that I can find.
My wife is in college and uses those programs pretty heavily. She also needs time machine as she often loses files.
Please let me if anyone has had any good or bad experiences.
Thanks!

So far so good with CS2, but I have not had to time to really test it in depth.
Installed Leopard onto an external hard drive connected to my iMac. If I have problems I can always boot back into Tiger from the internal drive. Once I feel safe the CS2 works fine with Leopard I will install it on the internal drive. I also have a mirror backup of the internal drive on a different external drive than the one with Leopard installed, double backup for now.
PS: The newer versions FileMaker were reportedly not compatible. I am still using version 7.5 which seems to work fine under Leopard.
I am fixing to get ready to install Leopard on the G4 iBook. Doing a backup of that hard drive first.

I am trying to re-install Adobe InDesign CS2 and having problems. It won't accept my old serial number, and while in the instructions it says it will give a new serial number I can't find that.

I know CS2 is old, but that is all I have.

Directions to find it are on the page with the installation instructions.
Locate the language and application you want to install and note its serial number (located to the right of the download links). The serial number is required during installation.
Note:The serial numbers included with your original CS2 applications do not work with these CS2 application versions.

CS2 and Xerox page positioning errors

Hi
I am having problems with positioning my drawing on the page. On screen it looks fine but prints out 3mm to the right. It could be a problem with the firmware on my printer (Xerox) however our other office has the same model printer and this problem has never occured.
Has anyone had difficulties with Xerox printers or can the page settings in Illustrator be changed, baring in mind files have to be transfered from office to office.
Thanks
Niall

This is the problem, I have set using page tiling the position of the drawing. When printed it moves 3mm to the right (only with A3 incidentily).

Startup template in indesign cs2 and cs3

hello everyone,
I was wondering if there was a default file Indesign uses as a startup file. I want to change the default settings ie: add layers (I often create a file and then add default layers everytime to work on). Also I mainly work with certain colours so want to include this as well.
It's a bit like illustrators Adobe Illustrator Startup_CMYK.ai
Thanks
lister

Hi, Tom:
If you have a variety of default files with more than a few default settings, you might consider creating a sample of each, and saving them as templates stored in a folder that's easy to get to, like on the Desktop, Windows Start Bar, or Macintosh Dock. You can launch these files with a double click.
The possible advantage vs. scripting is that you can create and modify the many subtile and complex template file properties without knowing how to script them.
