Local Printing problem

We have a problem on our printing configuration. Last time we could print using our default printer installed on windows using this configuration in SPAD:
DEVICE ATTRIBUTES
Device Type: SAPWIN : Rel.4.x/SAPIpd 4.09 + ONLY!
Device Class: Standard Printer
ACCESS METHOD
Host Spool Access Method: G: Front End Printing with Control Tech.
Host Printer: __DEFAULT
"No Device selection at Frontend" is ticked
OUTPUT ATTRIBUTES
Copy Counter : Pass Copy Counter to Host Spool System
At this time the printer don't give any printing output but the SAP system message is "Output was successfully issued". I had been tracing this all day long.
Any useful help will be given high points.
Best regardz,

Printing Problem from Citrxi to Local Printer over a WAN

Hello,
We have a rpinting issue , here are the details:
R3 4.6C on Windows Server 2003
SAPGUI runs on Citrix
A user iopens the SAPGUI on citrix , the sapworkdir is located on her Home Folder (H:), she has full
permissions to that folder.
When she prints to a printer that is defined in SPAD - it prints without a problem.
When she prints to an LPT1 printer attched to her computer - it doesn't print and the following error appears on the SAPLPD console window:
Number of processors: 4
lcon DLL loaded.
SAPLPD Version 6.29 for Windows/NT [OPT] is listening
One shot printout of file .\lprint0000000001.tmp, printer __DEFAULT

SAPLPD terminated
Is anyone familiar with this error ? She has full permissions on her SAPWORKDIR directory....
Any help is appreciated.
Thx

Along with Chen recommendations; Please make sure that Printer is configured on CITRIX desktop.
You can set up the Printer in the following manner::
1.START>SETTINGS-> PRINTERS and FAXES.
2. Click on ADD Printer and Click on NEXT
3. Select LOCAL PRINTER ATTACHED TO THIS COMP and make sure that AUTOMATICALLY DETECT is not selected and Click on NEXT
4. Select Create a New port and select Standard TCP/IP port and Click on Next
5. Enter the IP address of the Printer and also give the Port name
6. Click on next again (no need to change in this screen)
7. Printer info will be displayed. CLick on Finish.
Check in SU01 if LOCL is given as the Default device.

Remote Desktop local printer redirection problem - Server 2012 Foundation

Hi,
I am trying to print from Windows Server 2012 Foundation to my local printer hosted on Windows 7.
When I enable local resources in the RDP client, I can see my printers on the server like redirected. All seems like no problem occured. But only print does not work. ;-)
I can see the document name in the queue with Error status.
I tried set up GP with disabling Easy print, the drivers are identical on both machines, event logs are clear.
The server is freshly installed, running only File server role. No Domain controller role is set. No Terminal Service is set (i think in Foundation is it not possible), only allowed RDP.
RDP client is the newest. I have not any problem to print from other servers (WS2003, WS2008R2) using this printer. Everytime is the printer automatically redirected to TS*** port and works.
I spent few hours searching solution with no effect.
Any idea? Many thanks!

Hi,
Did you find any error message during this issue?
Please check you have enabled necessary port for printer redirection on server side. You can check “Do not allow client print redirection” is disable under GPO setting. Also the user must have enough permission to print the document. Please check below link
for more information.

Printing Problem at LOCAL Printer

Hello guru's,
Through workflow after approval and release of Purchase order, it should print at a LOCAL printer. but it is not happening. Will anyone suggest me the reasons behind that.
Full points for useful solution

Hi,
There're quite a number of steps between release of PO and the piece of paper appearing on the printer.
Has a spool request been created? What status does the spool request have? Is there an error log for the spool request?
Is the release happening in a background task or dialog? If LOCAL is using SAPlpd on the user's PC it won't work in the background.
Regards,
Nick

Printing problem with forms 4.5 on windows xp

Hi,
We have an application using forms 4.5 on DB version Oracle 9207 running on winxp.
Recently the clients were formatted for virus infection problems.
Now when a print job is fired from a client to a shared printer, system flashes error
*" NO PRINTER PORT FOUND IN REGISTRY "*
The same job print to a local printer , also all windows test page printing print ok to the same shared printer .
This error is flashed only when the print job is fired from Forms 4.5 to a shared printer on the network
Please Advise urgently
Altaf

Urgently restore a backup of the registry.
Urgently do not use the word 'urgently' in a forum of volunteers.
Also it can not be urgent, as Forms 4.5 dates from the Flintstone age, and probably isn't even certified on XP.
However, the error message is very clear: Apparently Forms 4.5 uses the registry to store printer info: you need to get that entry back. That kind of info is usually documented. Documentation is likely still online.

Canon 860 Series (Pixma) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips

After spending several hours sorting out Canon Pixma OSX problems here are my thoughts:
Canon 860 Series (Pixma 868) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips
Problem:
- New imac and MacBook Pro 2012 (OSX 10.8.2) had a problem using Canon Pixma 868 printer on network and would not scan or print using Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print), which has advanced scanning and photo printing functions.
- When I connected the canon printer to my imac, OSX 10.8.2 automatically downloaded and installed drivers for Canon 860 series printer. I could then add the new printer (select ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”) and printer would work while connected via USB but could not get to print or scan over network wifi.
- The original Canon 860 Series CD does not work with 10.8 and the manual / online instructions did not make sense (as based on CD install).
Solution:
1) Install Canon Printer Drivers and Software (from official Canon site)
Go to canon support site, review FAQ, then download and install following Pixma 860 Series software & drivers for OSX 10.8 (links see below). The version I downloaded is in brackets but check for updated version. Full instructions are below.
Canon 860 Series Drivers & Software for OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion:
The base software and drivers needed for using Canon 860 Series on Mac OS X 10.8 (USB) are
1 Printer Driver
(Canon MX860 series CUPS Printer Driver Ver. 10.67.1.0 (03-Aug-2012))
2 Scanner Driver
(Canon MX860 series Scanner Driver Ver. 14.11.4a (03-Aug-2012))
3 Network Tool
(Canon IJ Network Tool Ver. 4.1.0 for Intel Mac (27-Dec-2012)
Canon Software for using advanced printing and scanning functions (while connected to network)
4 Solution Menu
(Canon Solution Menu Ver. 1.4.1 (27-Jul-2012 ))
5 MP Navigator EX
(Canon MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 (02-Auf-2012))
6 Easy-PhotoPrint EX
(Canon Easy-PhotoPrint EX Ver. 4.1.6 (21-Jan-2013 ))
Canon Support (HK) – check your local site
http://www.canon.com.hk/en/download/main/index.do
Select Product and drivers from support site eg http://support-hk.canon-asia.com/
1. Choose a product category
Multifunctional Printers
2. Choose a product series
Pixma
3. Choose a product model
Pixma MX868
4. Choose type of document
Downloads or FAQ
If you have problems installing the software under 10.8, see the FAQ on Canon site. You will need to allow software installs from “unidentified developers by using “Control” Key or by changing your system preferences)
2) Check Canon Printer and Software Working while connected via USB
Once you have downloaded and installed drivers and software and restarted computer, check that the printer and Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print) are working via USB. Open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App) and make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it shows the correct SSID Wifi settings (under the Canon IJ Network Tool App ‘Setup menu’). This is normally done as part of the automatic install but worth double checking
3) Add new network printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”).
After you have checked USB printing turn off printer, unplug the USB cable and shutdown the Canon IJ Network Tool App.
Then turn the printer back on and wait 30s. Then add a new printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”). Once you select “+” (add new printer), wait 10-30s for the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer to appear in the new window eg Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) (Kind: “Canon IJ Network”)
DO NOT ADD THE MX 860 SERIES BONJOUR SCANNER (the Bonjour Scanner is the built-in software, is not needed and often appears first on the add printer list). The Canon scanner can be accessed used through the MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 software (which has much better functions)
You will now have two Printer Canon MX860 (USB) and Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network). Set the Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network) as default and test print and scan
If the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer does not appear, check the printer and make sure that the printer can see the wifi network. On the printer select Menu / Settings / Device Settings / Lan Settings / WLAN Setting List. It should say WLAN Active, identify the SSID and have an IP address
If the printer can not see the Wifi Network, plug the USB cable back in, then open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App). Make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it has your SSID settings (under setup), if it has this info, restart the computer and the printer and try again

Hi, thaks for response, meant to post as a discussion (not question), wanted to save others time if they get the same problem

Very Urgent! Print Report output to local printer on button click in form

In Sales Order Form there is a print receipt button. In current situation On Clicking the 'Print Receipt Button' it submits a XML Publisher report(PDF output) to the concurrent manager. Currently to print that report i need to go view--> requests--> view output and then print. According to my new Requirement i need to print that report directly to local printer on one simple Print receipt button click in form.
I am trying to call the printers on server using custom.pll. The report is running successfully but it is not printing output to the local printer. I need to print the report to the local printers based on responsibility. Local printers are available on apps server. Can anyone help me on this issue ASAP.
Is it possible to print the document using custom.pll? Is there any other alternative to print the report on simple button click in form.
Environment: Apps 11.5.10.2, Forms 6i
Here is the code that i am using in my custom.pll.

I solved this problem myself using shell script through custom.pll. I wrote shellscript and called that shellscript through FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST.It printed 2 copies to local printer.

Forms-Reports Web : Direct print a file to a local printer

<p>For those people who are searching a solution to print their PDF Reports from the AS to a chosen local printer, let see this great Direct Print Java Bean from Casey Bowden.</p>
Francois

Hello,
If anyone is using DirectPrint java bean, maybe you can help us with this problem.
The issue we are facing is when we are printing Oracle reports that have non-standard colors.
For example, if field has light gray background it prints black instead. If field has black background and white text it prints black only, no text.
If field or frame line color is specified as anything but “No Line” (even as white), it prints black line color.
So even though report displayed on screen as PDF looks completely normal, when sent to the printer unfortunately does not.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Remote Desktop doesn't work with local printer

I am having trouble using a locally networked printer when I use Remote Desktop to connect to a Vista machine. Under the local resources tab for RD, I have checked printers. The only thing I can figure is that my printer is networked locally, not connected directly to my machine. Every time I try to print during my remote desktop session, I can't access my locally networked printer.
I installed the printer drivers on the remote computer and when I try to locate the printer, I get the following error: "Windows cannot connect to the printer. Server print spooler service is not running..." but the spooler service IS runing.
I also found a post elsewhere that discussed setting 'share permissions' and 'network permissons' to resovle the spooler error. Still no go.
I tried to plug in my printer to a local USB port this morning. Still would not work. I keep getting the same spooling error. The drivers are not corrupt, as others have indicated may be the cause. They work fine on my system locally with 7.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I've spent a few hours on this one and am at a loss at this point.
Please help. I really need to print locally.

My problem was that the Vista remote system never saw local port that my printer was using for some reason and it never accepted the path noted above (\\servername\printer)...always came back with an error that it was an invalid path. This was with it both networked and plugged in via USB port.
I finally figued it out after four days and many hours on the phone with Microsoft. Microsoft support claimed that it was related to my router settings, but I didn't believe it since the remote computer saw my iPhone just fine when it was connected locally. After simply playing around, here's what I found...it was actually quite basic!
On the remote system, when you try to add a 'local' printer, there's a drop down menu with a list of local ports that your remote system sees. Some of those will be on the remote system, but others will be on your local system. Make a note of the ones that are seen on your local system. In my case, LPT1 was not visible, but COM3 was.
Next, on your local system, in the settings for your functioning printer (Printer Properties, Ports Tab), there's a tick box that says "Enable Printer Pooling." Once you check that box, you can select multiple ports on your local machine. Here, you need to tick the box that your remote system is seeing (in my case, it's COM3), but make sure that your exisitng port remains checked as well (in my case, an IP port for my wireless router). Basically what you're doing is on your local system, you are pooling your exising printer setup with a port that can be seen by your remote system.
Then, on the remote system, install the printer drivers but don't select a port. Then go into Printers and add a printer. Select 'local' setup for that and when asked for the port, use the port you checked in the previous step on your local system (in my case, I selected COM3 on my local system). Select your printer from the list. It will ask if you want to use the exisiting drivers...say yes. Then print a test page to be sure that it works. Worked fine for me.
I simply can't believe how obvsious that solution was! If the remote system can't see the port you currently use, pool your printer setup with a port that it can see!

Can't share local printer in Windows 7 Pro-error 0x000006d9

Hello,
I recently purchased a laptop and wanted to share my local printer, attached via USB to my desktop (tower) in my home. My desktop runs Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. My laptop runs Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
When I try to share my printer, accept the default printer name (or modify it), from the sharing tab of printer properties, I get an error: "printer settings could not be saved. Operation could not be completed (error 0x000006d9)".
I did some searching in this forum and via google but this error code does not appear for this type of issue (i.e. printer sharing). Does anyone have any suggestions?
I also verified my Event Viewer and see no errors whatsoever related to printer or network settings or file and printer sharing. I CAN share my files on THIS desktop with the laptop and have already transferred files from the desktop to the laptop successfully. But printer sharing is giving the above error.
** Also, I MAY have a related problem but I am unsure about this, so I wanted to mention this in this same thread in case they are related: I cannot start the homegroup listener service from services on the desktop (win 7 pro) - get error code 2147023143. Homegroups are NOT setup (not created) on neither the laptop nor the desktop. Again, I tried to search for this error code but the results are inconclusive.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Its now been THREE YEARS since this "bug" has been discovered and resolved by a user, and there is not one word about it in MS's online help. Today I had this exact issue of not being able to share a printer on Windows 7 with other computers on my
my local network. And this is the same printer I've been sharing with the same network for nearly FIVE YEARS!! I have always used 3rd party virus/firewall software, but I don't disable the windows firewall. Rather I just set it to "Manual"
because some network software seems to need it occassionally. The result is the same however, as is the solution. I had updated and reinstalled my printer software, and apparantly sharing is disabled by default. After stumbling upon this
thread, after several hours wasted searching Windows Help and Microsoft "NON"-Support websites and KB's, I simply ran the firewall just long enough to enable sharing, and instantly the backlog of spoolled print jobs began printing.
Thank you. You would think MS would have at least written this solution into their help files by now ... but than again, they are probably making money with their "paid" support option from all the desperate people who suddenly can't use there printers.
Probably charging $50 just to tell people to turn the firewall on for a few seconds. I can't think of another reason to conveniently omit this simple solution from the "free" support.

Printing problem when PDF is sent to the printer with certain fonts - missing text

I'm running into a printing problem when PDFs containing certain characters of the Calibri font are used. The text in large sections of the PDF is missing on the paper version, but the text is there on the screen. It's also happened when the PDFs we created were e-mailed out to a client and printed on their printer. The problem is not present when printing directly from the programs (Microsoft Word, Excel, Visio, etc.). I've been trying to get tech support from Adobe on this, but every time I call they apologize and say they will call back in 4-6 hours with an answer. Same result each time, no call back. If anyone from Adobe is listening, it's case number 184891587. The font appears as an embedded subset when I look at the document properties. Sometimes deleting one or two Characters allows for larger text blocks to be printed - i.e. removing a long dash in bold from the heading of a paragraph makes the paragraph reappear when printed to paper from PDF. In all cases the PDF appears correct on the screen. Printing as an image allows the text to appear, but the image quality isn't acceptable for small text, even at the 600 dpi setting on the printer. If the PDF is sent out by e-mail, we do not have control over the end-user's printer setup anyway, so we need this to work in all cases.
The setup/process I'm using is as follows:
Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-Bit
Microsoft Office 2013 - problem is present when printing documents from Word, Excel or Visio. Even other variations on documents.
I've tried Acrobat versions 11.0.0 to 11.0.5 as well as Acrobat Pro 11.0.0 and 11.0.1. Same Result
Printing to Adobe PDF as the printer, from the third party application
Printing to a Xerox printer from PDF using Acrobat - Text missing
Client prints to Konica printer - Text missing
I print to the wide-format Ricoh (which also does 11x17) and the text is present.
Is there something I'm missing? Is the entire font not getting embedded into the PDF file? I noticed that rolling back to a much older version of the Calibri font (1.02 compared to 5.72) makes the problem mostly go away, but it's not completely gone. Is it possible the font is too large to be completely embedded? Where can I go from here?

Success! At least for now. It looks like my problem was fixed with Adobe's most recent update, 11.0.06. From the release notes:
PDF creation
Added support for Lotus Notes 9.
Added support for WebCapture in IE 11.
Added support for conversions from AutoCAD 2013.
3652540 A blank pdf is created for files having hidden visual style.
3601108 Flow Chart converts as a multicolored square.
3654345 Word documents missing parts of images in conversion to PDF.
3654572 Temporary file size increases when creating pdf by combining multiple files into one PDF.
3670155 PDF file created with Distiller XI prints incorrectly to some printers. (Emphasis mine)
3599407 Checkbox check marks do not appear in these files.
3663233 IE Web Capture in localized OS: Icons and drop-down menu items are missing and conversion dialog is not localized.
3651931 Chrome Only: Few web pages when converted to pdf from Chrome plugin doesn’t show up the Save As dialog.
3597910 EPM Mode On: Web capture is not working on Windows 8-32 bit when cache folder is missing.
3610644 Firefox 23.0: With Firefox version 23.0 (latest), the WebCapture icon shows up very dim as if it is disabled.
3650244 ODA falis to convert DWG files to PDF for large files.
I don't know if that's definately what solved the problem, but it sure sounds similar and this is the update that made the printing problem go away. We can't get the PDFs to fail at this point with our printers, even with Calibri 5.72. I'll come back to thread if we have printing problems at the end-user locations.

Printing problem with Konica Minolta BizHub282 using RDP on Windows Server 2008 R2

Hello,
I have an office setup as follows: Local office IP adress scheme 192.168.201.x. There is a Konica Minolta BizHub 282 printer connected to the 192.168.201.x network as well as around 10 workstations running Windows 7. There are also about
10 additional teleworkers WHO DO NOT NEED print access to the Minolta 282. All of their data is on a cloud server. I have them setup to first connect to the cloud server using a RRAS PPTP VPN and then to start an RDP session to the separate
RDP server. The Konica Minolta works ??okay?? with the easy print services and until now, we have just dealt with the lack of features and the occasional print job that goes crazy and prints out 400 blank pages (btw, this is usually on Excel) or a job
that cuts off the margins even when you have it set to "fit to page" (this usually happens in Adobe.) When I originally set this up, I tried loading the native Konica drivers on the server, but there was no joy because I couldn't get it to
work using the native drivers. The problem at hand is a feature called "account track." This feature authenticates your print job by using an account code. If there is no code, the job just disappears. When I load the native
Konica driver, the ability to turn on this feature is greyed out (see below):
When I use easy print, the codes seem to go through, but as I mentioned earlier, sometimes the print job just goes insane. After researching this, it seems to me that there are two ways to overcome this if we can't turn off the account track feature:
1) Overcome the driver problem. I've tried both of their current drivers without success: VXL and Visual Postscript. When I login to RDP, the (redirected) Konica 282 printer is listed, but when I try to print, it fails due to the missing account track code.
I'm hoping that there is a registry hack to turn this feature on by default with the code or a driver version that works with RDP. They have a WHQL driver available, but it didn't work any better. Is there a way to report this issue to the WHQL labs? Maybe
I can light a fire under Konica's rear end and motivate them to fix the driver.
2) I saw one discussion where the guy installed the printer out in the clouds as a local printer. He seemed to have a site-to-site VPN, not a client-to-site VPN, so this worked. Is there a way to do something similar when the customer connects to the
VPN through standard "connect to workplace" setup? I tried pinging the Konica 282 from the server while logged into the VPN, but the printer could not be found.
3) I considered setting it up as a google cloud print prnter, but that would require everyone to setup a google account and add a layer of complexity.
Anyone else run into this and have a solution? If not, does anyone have any ideas on a solution or workaround?
Thanks,
Jeffery Smith

Hi Jeffery,
Thank you for your comment.
Yeah, you can use universal print driver by configuring Remote Desktop Easy print on RDS Server. Install the driver on RDS server. Now to configure Easy print you need to have minimum client RDP 6.1(But suggest you to install RDP 8.1), .Net Framework 3.5 or
above and RDSH role.
Also under GPO setting need to check below settings.
Do not allow client print redirection: Disable
Use Terminal Service Easy print printer driver first: Enable
Computer Configuration > Administrative templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Printer redirection
For more information, you can refer below articles.

Local Printer not working via Remote Link

I have a problem with my remote desktop printing to my local printer. I connect via RD on Windows 7 Home to Windows 7 Pro. I have installed an HP Laserjet Pro CM1415fn printer. All prints fine locally. Also everything printed fine
but have had to have a recent update to my Remote PC that I log into. So the printer had to be reinstalled.
All worked ok for about 6 print jobs then stopped working. Nothing has changed. I have changed the settings on the printer as it seemed to be when the printer went into 'Sleep' mode. I have tried restarting the Printer Spooler in Services
and rebooting the remote PC but no joy.
Any ideas please.

Hi,
You mean after the reinstallation, the local printer worked for a while and then stopped working with nothing changed?
Take a try with the printer troubleshooter:
Open the Printer troubleshooter
Also see if the below thread could help:

How Do I Redirect LPT1 Printer Port to 'LOCAL Printer' in Windows 7

I have previously redirected LPT1 Port to a 'Network Printer' as well as 'Print Server' with NO PROBLEMS.
However, I have NOT been able to redirect LPT1 Port to a 'LOCAL' PRINTER. I have already set up:
- new HP Laser Printer (tested, no problem printing in Windows)
- the printer is SHARED, shared name is "HPLaser" (tested by viewing Shared Printer Name and Computer Name in DOS)
- bat file as --> Net
use Lpt1 \\DkTop1\HPLaser /persistent:yes
(I checked to ensure the 'Computer
Name' and the 'Shared
Printer Name' are correct. Tested by running bat command, no
error message)
When printing in DOS and viewing "What's Printing" from Printer Icon,
- the DOS print job appears immediately as "spooling",
- then "printing" and "USB001" Port.
So, it appears to be printing from the DOS application, also
note NO ERRORS from DOS Program or Windows but it does NOT print.
The only difference between the 'Local Printer' setup and
the 'Print Server Printer' setup is,
the 'PRINT SERVER'
goes to an "IP Address w/Standard TCP/IP Port"
and the 'LOCAL PRINTER'
goes to "USB001 Virtual Printer for . . .".
IS THERE A PROBLEM in
SETTING UP THE 'LOCAL PRINTER'
with 'USB001 VIRTUAL PRINTER' Port???
If so, how do I resolve? If not, please note what is the problem(s) and resolution(s). Thanks.

Hi,
you install the new printer, which port you choose to use? What do you mean by saying "'USB001 VIRTUAL PRINTER' Port"
here?
As the printer is configured locally, there is no need to redirect the port to it.

If possible please take a try to delete the printers holding the Lpt1 port, then reconfigure the local printer following the instructions provided above.
Hope this may help
Best regards

Quark / PDF Printing Problems (Save as PDF in OS X)

I upgraded from Quark 4.1 to 6.5 about a year ago, and ever since then the files I create and print don't look as good. The primary issue seems to be color -- colors don't come out as deep, there seems to be less color saturation, sometimes colors are just pretty far off. I'm working in Mac OS 10.4.8.
For many years my method has been to design documents and output as PDFs to be professionally printed. These days my PDFs don't print as well. I suspect that the problem has to do with the process of creating the PDF. In Quark 6.5 I create PDFs by selecting "Save as PDF" from Quark's Print menu. Back when I was using 4.1, since Quark didn't have a built-in PDF-creator, I would go into the Chooser, select AdobePS as my printer, and then just choose Print in Quark and it would "print" to a PDF.
One other problem I've had since the upgrade is that the PDFs Quark creates are HUGE files -- tens or hundreds of megs -- often too large to email. When I used to create PDFs from the identical Quark files using 4.1, the resulting PDFs printed much better and were much smaller files (often far less than 1 meg). Solving the color problem is a higher priority for me than solving the file size issue, though.
I've spent a lot of time trying to troubleshoot this with our local printer here in Albany, NY (the same guy who printed my stuff in the old days, when it came out looking a lot better). Things we've tried that haven't seemed to solve the problem:
- Increasing the LPI to 300
- Checking the box for Full Resolution Tiff Output
- Experimenting with OPI active and not
- Experimenting with different PDF options like "Save as PDF," "Compress PDF," "PDF-X," etc. (Compress PDF does result in smaller PDFs, but the quality of the resulting prints is even worse)
Also, if anyone has suggestions about Quark-specific forums I could post this to, let me know. I tried creating an account on the discussion forms on Quark's website, but I don't receive their confirmation email to confirm my account.
Any advice greatly appreciated -- thanks so much!

Marshall,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
colin clarke1’s info is spot on. I will add a bit more. Acrobat Professional includes Distiller in addition to a print driver called Adobe PDF 7.0 (version number matches version of Acrobat). I think the print driver installs automatically, but if not, you should choose to install it and then it will show in your list of printers. This will allow you to make PDFs from Quark XPress much as you did with Quark 4.1.
Distiller comes with some pre-defined Settings (formerly know as Job Options) for different types of printing, i.e., Smallest file (low-resolution like online viewing), Standard, High Quality, Press Quality and others. These Settings are general standards in the industry in terms amount and type of image compression, font embedding, color management, compatibility with previous Acrobat versions and etc.
colin clarke1’s method of saving a Quark doc as a PostScript and then distilling it is one method. (You can set this in your Quark Preferences.) Alternatively, you could do the following within Quark XPress…
(a) Select Print, which brings up the Print window. At the bottom of the window are some buttons. Click on Page Setup and in its window, for Format for: select the Adobe PDF 7/8, the appropriate Paper size and then OK.
(b) Returning to the Quark print window, make all the necessary choices for Layout, Setup, Output, Options, Layers, Bleed, OPI and Profiles.
(c) Next, click on the button Printer (at the bottom) which brings up a Mac OS print window. Click to the right of Printer and select Adobe PDF 7/8. Next, click and hold on Copies & Pages for a drop-down list of options and select PDF Options. Click on the bar to the right of Adobe PDF Settings and a list of Distiller Settings will pop up and select the one that best fit the type of printing you are doing, e.g., Press Quality. If you want to see the PDF version afterwards, then select Acrobat for After PDF Creation. Click Ok.
(d) Returning to the Quark print window, click Print button (lower right). A Save window appears for you to name your document and select where you wish to save in on your computer. (If you choose to see the PDF afterwards, then Acobat will launch and the PDF will then appear in Acrobat.)
You could learn more about the latest version of Acrobat 8.0 (released November 2006) by Adobe’s “tour” at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/productinfo/features/
Hope this helps.
