New printer prints fine from web, gets stuck sending data from all Adobe CS2 programs

I'm trying to print envelopes on a Lexmark x5650 I just bought. Things can print just fine from all sources but as soon as I try to print from InDesign CS2 the print manager just shows "sending data" and doesn't do anything else. In fact, the same thing happens from all Adobe programs. If I pause the job and start it again then it gets stuck "opening printer connection". I deleted all my other printers so there weren't any other print jobs anywhere else. Help me please!
Side note, when I reinstall the printer the help assistant it tells me at one point that there are print jobs running and I have to cancel them to fnish the install. For the life of me I cannot find this print job, it's no where to be seen in the system preferences printer section.

If you did not, then that's the reason it isn't working. Do it. Make sure that the specific printer is selected in Page Setup and then check the Printer Features under the Printer button.
Ignore the dire warnings that pop-up when you click those buttons.
It should not be necessary to go to PDF first.

HT2495 I have a wirless network. I connect all my computers to it and a printer. I can print wirelessly from all computers. I tried to add the printer to my new Macbook, but can't find the printer on the add printer and scan icon on preferences.

I downloaded a installation printer utility from the Manufacturer (lexmark), but it didn't work. Any sugestions?

You would need to get the IP address of your printer then manually add a network print queue.
To get the IP address, on the control panel of your printer, press on Setup > Network Setup > TCP/IP > View/Set IP address.

Since I updated to Mountain Lion I can't print to my Epson NX430 from my Mac. Though it prints fine from my iPad. Suggestions? I have already uninstalled and reinstalled software. It won't show up on my list of printer options.

My printer is showing no errors and printed fine from my iPad, but it will not connect wirelessly to my mac mini. When I would try to print the printer status would remain at "idle" and the print queue would give an error message saying no printer was connected to the network. I searched for a driver update and couldn't find one so I decided to uninstall the software and then reinstall. I have done this and now the printer will not show up on the list where it should be to even install it durint set up. What can I do to resolve this issue?

add the printer IP without the HTTP
"192.168.1.x:"

PDF file prints fine from Acrobat reader XI, but not Acrobat Standard XI

I have a 2 page document that is set up as tabloid 11x17, meant to be printed duplexed and folded as a 4 pamphlet. The document with the same printer settings prints fine from Adobe Reader XI but from Adobe Standard XI, Page 1 prints fine, but page 2 looks like it is trying to print on the backside of an 81/2x11 instead of 11x17. I have played with the print settings in Standard, and cannot come up with a combination that prints that document correctly, yet it prints fine from Acrobat Reader XI. I did double check for updates on both products and installed them. Anyone have any idea as to why this is happening? If I print page 2 by itself it does print properly, just not when sent duplexed with page 1.

Well, for those following this thread or needing a solution, I found a work-around though I'm still not sure why the initial problem exists.
In Acrobat 9 Pro, once you have the main print dialogue box open, follow the steps below:
1) Click ADVANCED
2) Select PRINT AS IMAGE
3) Set DPI to 300
4) Click OK
5) Make any other typical print setup adjustments as you normally would and finish printing as usual

Hp 6510 prints fine from laptop but only prints blank pages from ipad

Printer prints fine from my laptop but will only spit out blank pages from my ipad. It used to print fine from the ipad.

RESOLVED!!!!
I called HP regarding this issue, and was connected with a very nice woman out of India, Lola, who resolved the problem for both my Google Nexus 7 tablet running android 4.4.4 and also my iphone 5s. Its the printer, and its wi-fi connection, along with the app.
Here were the steps to resolve:
1. Make absolutely sure you dont have a cable going into your printer from your router or modem. Then make sure your connected to wi-fi if on your printer if you did. (If you had a cable connected, re-run the wi-fi setup wizard for your printer, preferably on the printer itself, not your computer.
2. Sounds crazy, but verify your wi-fi is actually on. Click on the wi-fi button on your printer, and you should also have a light that signals your wi -fi is actually connected (at least on the Officejet 6700 that I am using, it does).
3. Make sure you still have HP Eprint on your phone and/or tablet. Check that you have your settings correct in your HP Eprint setup options, including the email address you want to use for your account. If you don't, you will need to enter it, then click activate on HP Eprint. It will send you a code via email. Copy/paste the code into the HP Eprint setup.
4. Once you're sure you have your printer re-connected to wi-fi correctly, and no cables attached; resart your printer, and re-start your phone/tablet. Once everything has re-booted its time to test....
5. Test Printing: First test printing drictly from HP Eprint's app, selecting a file... then test using a webpage from your browser, to ensure its running correctly through Airprint (which is best, secondary is Google Cloud Print).
If you are still having trouble, re-boot everything again, double check your wi-fi on your printer, and that you have your settings correct in your HP Eprint from above. If that doesn't work for you, call HP at (855) 785-2777 and select HP EPrint for assistance.
Good Luck & Happy Printing!

Why the new firefox version 31.0 is getting stuck when something is downloaded.

Why the new firefox version 31.0 is getting stuck when something is downloaded. After force restart also same issue (still the download status is showing the same and again getting stuck) for 4-5 times and then it asks for to clear all the data. After that it is working fine.

Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?

I am having issues with Sidebar files not appearing from within InDesign CS5.5. They show up fine from other Adobe applications. Using OS10.6.8.

I am having issues with Sidebar files not appearing from within InDesign CS5.5. They show up fine from other Adobe applications. Using OS10.6.8.

I would first of all trash the preference file for InDesign, make sure the application is closed then find the prefs in
/Users/USER NAME/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign and just throw the entire folder away, it will generate a new one after you launch InDesign again.
Now launch InDesign and see if the problems are resolved.
If not I would repair your permissions on your hard drive wih disk utility, and if that fails then di-install InDesign and re-install that single application.
Let me know if any of these suggestions work for you
I will be checking my email although you might have to wait for a response as I will be taking a microlight flight over the Victoria Falls tomorrow. Yay can hardly wait.

How do I convert pics from old Adobe Photoshop program on cd in pdd to jpeg?

I have cds with pdd pics from my old (1999) Adobe Photoshop program. My system won't open them. I now have Photoshop Elements 8. I can go to Organize and get photos from the cd. They are in my catalog and I can open them there.
How do I convert them to jpeg?
When I go to Edit, I can't find my photos in the catalog. I only find the new pics in my Photo Gallery that are already jpeg.
I feel as though I'm missing something simple. Can someone help me?

Thanks for your response. I did get a way to do it with the software I already have.

There's a utility called "Image Converter Plus" that can do this for you. They modestly calls it "the best image converter in the industry. You can see their web site at: http://www.imageconverterplus.com/help-center/work-with-icp/examples/how-to-convert/PDD_jp g.html .
Here's from their web site:
h1. How to convert PDD to JPG
Converting PDD to JPG is very easy with Image Converter Plus. In Windows Explorer, select a PDD image and click your right mouse button. In the context menu, select Convert to submenu and click Custom convert line.
==========
This seems to be exactly what you want.
Since they have a separate "download" and "purchase" section, it's not clear to me if you have to pay the $49 license fee to use the utility. You may have to purchase the license to get batch processing.
Even if you do have to pay, my philosophy in life is that if someone can rescue some important pictures with their $49 utility, then it's worth the price.

I am unable to print (any website) from the latest Firefox, but print fine from Internet Explorer. Using Windows Vista on a desktop machine.

printer advances page and spits it out with either nothing or a single garbled line printed on it instead of a whole web page. This is independent of which web site and even happens with web sites that have a specific PRINT or PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION button. Printing is fine from Internet Explorer. Unsure about Chrome. Printing from Firefox worked fine until I downloaded newest version. Operating system is Windows Vista on a 64 bit desktop computer.

Try the '''reset''' described here: <br />

I can't print wirelessly from my iMac although it is connected to the same network as the printer and I can print fine from my iPad to the same network

I have downloaded and installed the driver from the HP website for the HP Envy 5530. While I can send documents from my iMac to the printer using a USB cable, it will not print wirelessly. When I tried to install the wireless connection, I got the dialogue box saying "Devise not reachable" and it suggested I check whether the iMac is connected to the wireless network (it is and the signal strength is excellent, Safari runs well) and that I check the printer is connected to the same network (it is). I am able to print items from my iPad wirelessly using the network so I don't understand why the iMac won't recognise the printer wirelessly when everything else works fine.

From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Advanced
and check the box marked
          Include Bonjour in the Bookmarks menu
if it's not already checked. Then select
          Bookmarks ▹ Bonjour ▹ Name of printer
A web page served by the printer should open. Does it?

Mac 10.6.8 is printing very light and washed out, however, the color prints fine from Safari and my husbands PC, help!

My Mac 10.6.8 has always printed great from Firefox to my Canon printer, but now the black and color is all washed out. I can print same page from Safari or my husbands PC and the page is great! What is going on! ?

Other things to try:
Examine your specific version of Optima by going to Type menu > Find Font, clicking on the Optima font and choosing More Info (I think) and find the specific version number. See if you can uninstall the font and reinstall another Optima font with a different, preferably newer version number. There has (historically) been a bad version of Optima floating around for years. Maybe you have it.
Use a free utility like FontNuke or FontFinagler to get your Mac OS to reset its font plists. Sometimes that makes the OS feel better.
Use the built-in Disk Utility to repair file permissions. You never know.
Export your old document out to IDML and reopen that resulting idml file back into a new freshly written INDD file. This might remove internal database corruptions.
All these are chicken-soup things to try and they might be good for you.

Cannot print borderless printing from illustrator - prints fine from photoshop. I've updated canon drivers but didn't help.

After buying a new imac and upgrading to lion, then upgrading to illustrator I cannot print borderless on my canon printer. It prints borderless fine from photoshop. I have installed the new drivers from canon through apple but that didn't help. It shows borderless in the print window but continues to leave a border when printing. Any suggestions?

I have a new printer and can't get it to print. ink installed properly. any ideas?

Please help me. I have a new printer set up today and it doesn't print. It is wireless and drivers installed correctly as is the inks x 2. It says printing alignment page but nothing comes out. Any suggestions for me? Thanks kindly,
Sue

Try to perform a HARD RESET on the printer first. Unplug the power cord from the printer, and leave it out for 30 seconds. Plug it back in, see if it aligns and finishes the job.
After alignment, try to print a test page from the printer or make a copy. This job is to make sure that the HARDWARE of the printer is working correctly.

Colors are printing incorrectly when exported to PDF but print fine from InDeisgn and Photoshop

Documents I create in Photoshop and InDesign and export to PDF print in different/wrong colors. The colors are fine when printed directly from Photoshop or InDesign, they look correct when viewing the PDF, but change when printed from the PDF (specifically blues print as purple). How do I fix this?

This really sounds like a color management issue.
How are you creating the PDF files from InDesign or Photoshop? We recommend using the PDF/X-4 settings for proper printing from Acrobat or any direct PDF RIP/printer.
Also would like to know what type of printer you are printing to.

Printing Issue: Colors print fine from Photoshop but washed out in Illustrator

I am having trouble printing from Illustrator. The same image...whether cut and pasted, opened in, or using the swatch created....prints differently in Photoshop and Illustrator. I need to use this specific color (for branding purposes) and it prints fine in Photoshop but washed out and grey-ish in illustrator.
I've made sure the color settings are the same (in bridge) and made sure all the print settings are the same. It is the same color on the screen, and in detail, but the print output is clearly different. Any help please??

If I print from Acrobat, everything is washed out and greyed - both the PDF from Illustrator and the PDF saved from Photoshop.
I tried letting the printer decide and I tried set to illustrator - both washed out and greyed.
Here are my settings in illustrator:
