Adobe Print will not create files in Network Locations

Hi,
We've just installed 5 new Win7 64bit machines on our network which were shipped with Acrobat Standard X. The server is Windows 2003 SBS.
2 out of the 5 machines can only use Adobe PDF Printer to create pdf's to the local drives rather than the shared network drivers. These users (including myself as Administrator) have full access and control over the network drives and have no other connection issues. The printer settings are identical on all the new PC's and the port is Documents\*.pdf
The error message is simply "error-printing" in the What's Printing dialogue box, no other pop ups or notifications.
There are no further details in the Event Viewer.
Win7 suggests making the Adobe PDF the default printer, which does not resolve the issue.
I have tried CutePDF as an alternative, which does fullfill this function, but I do not want individual users on different software, and certainly do not want to set a precedent myself!
I've tried searching on this formum, but pdf "printing" and "creation" seem to be interchangeable phrases for various problems!
Thanks in advance for any help,
Andy.

As a web designer - IMHO, Internet Exploder is absolute garbage disguised as software. This (and thousands of other threads in this and many other forums throughout the web) is just more proof of that. I've used Firefox since 2002 when it was still called Mozilla. It does about a million things IE can't and won't, and does them better, faster, and more sensibly.
Microsoft KNOWS that most corporate workstations have Windows and most I/T departments forbid installation of unapporved software, including browsers, so (by a very slim margin) IE is still the most used browser in the world, but... that doesn't by any means make it the best choice. Because they know so many people are literally FORCED to use it at work, they will not make it more functional than they absolutely have to, because they don't care if people like it or not, when they have no other choice.
On a home computer, it's different, and that's why Firefox is just a fraction of a percentage point behind IE in worldwide use, and thanks to iPhones, Safari is rapidly climbing the numbers too.
Rather than trying to work around something that even Microsoft won't bother to fix, abandon their junk and go with Firefox, Opera, Chrome or Safari. It won't be long till you're glad you did.

Printer will not connect to wireless network

I have followed all the troubleshooting ideas, but still keep getting the following message... "This computer appears to have a working internet connection, but cannot find "Deskjet 2540 series [CA8F2C]._ipp_tcp.local." You many have typed the address incorrectly." Does anyone have any ideas what to do to fix this problem?

Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that your HP Deskjet 2540 will not connect to your wireless network on Mac OS X 10.7. I am happy to help! Please try the steps within the following guides: 'Printer Offline' or 'Printer Not Responding' Message (OS X).Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity in OS X Lion or earlier. Hope these guides are helpful, and have a nice day! “Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.”

Printer will not stay connected to network

The printer will no longer stay connected to the network. If we turn the printer off and back on again it will print but shorly after it says "The printer is not connected. Again, turning it off and back on again will allow it to connect. Tried uninstalling it and reinstalling, did not make a difference. The firmware is the latest and all drivers are up to date.
Solution?? I have two kids in college and this is becoming very frustrating.
Thank you,
Joanie

Hi @jraitt , I would very much like to help you with your 6500a plus.
Please use the following document to troubleshoot the issue, and let me know the outcome of your efforts; Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
As a work around, if the issue persists, you could connect an Ethernet cable from the printer to the router. This will disable the wireless in the printer and possibly allow a more stable connection. If however you connect an Ethernet cable and the issue persists, we will then know the issue is not the printer at all and is the router.
I hope this helps.

Xp & Officejet 6500 E710 a-f not printing

I am trying to use printer with a computer that is running xp.
I can't find the correct software.
I downloaded what I thought was the correct driver, it said I needed .NET framework 35, so I downloaded and installed that.
Now, when I click on the driver, it says it is not a valid Win32 application.
When I try to install printer software... I don't have the disc, it asks for the printer, and it is not listed. I am not sure what other officejet printer would use compatiable software.
How can I get it to print????
(I know, use the other computer that is running 8.1 lol) short of THAT - can I get it to work on a machine running xp?
HOW?

I suggest you use the HP Print and Scan Doctor to overcome the problems you are experiencing, please download via the following link:

My printer will not connect to the network and i cannot find drivers for it

I just installed Win 10 64 bit and I lost all connection o my printer it is saying I am on another network and each time i try to load the drivers for it it fails

Hello vikagor,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you are talking about cellular data not phone calls that's the issue.
For troubleshooting cellular data issues please see:
iPhone cellular data connection issues
Note the first symptom is, "No connection over cellular network, but works over Wi-Fi".
Take care,
Nubz

My printer will not stay on the network

I have a HP 5520. My Mac do cannot see the printers.

See this HP support article. Not all of the steps are applicable, and there may be a more relevant article for your model.

My hp office jet printer will not scan a document wirelessly print works fine on wireless any thoughts on this problem

my hp printer will not scan a document wirelessly the wireless print funtion works fine i have to plug the usb cable into the laptop to scan a document any thoughts on how to do this wirelessly thanks

i have to plug the usb cable into the laptop to scan a document
This is because HP has not provided network USB drivers to allow scanning when the all-in-one is connected to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme.
HP has only provided drivers to allow printing when the all-in-one is connected to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme. To be fair, other manufacturers who offer all-in-one products do the same thing.
If you need to scan documents, you will need to connect the all-in-one to the USB port on your computer....until HP offers full featured network USB drivers. Check with HP Support for possible progress in this regard.
If your all-in-one happens to offer wireless connection options or wired Ethernet options to connect to your network, you should have full functionality that way.

My Officejet 6500 E710 will not accept an A4 paper size as default and keeps reverting to Letter

I bought a new OfficeJet 6500 E710. I use A4 size paper but for some reason it will either not accept the change from Letter (I change it in the Printer Preferences and the Print settings) presenting me with an error message "printer settings could not be saved" or in some cases it does change but when I print from Adobe Indesign it is reset to Letter. Adobe is also set to A4 as standard. My regional settings are for the Netherlands. Can anyone shed some light on this behaviour? BTW I have checked that the firmware on the printer is the latest. I have rebooted after setting the paper size. None of these have helped.

I had a problem like this where my X didnt wanna take my new monitor displays.. what I did was I backed up my conf and ran nvidia-xconfig to make a new .conf, then using sudo nvidia-settings i told it to go to the size i wanted and it just appended the file for me

HP Officejet Pro 8500A Premium will not print docs from computer, but will print a test page.

HP Officejet Pro 8500A Premium will not print docs from computer, but will print a test page. I continually get a message that the computer cannot communicate with the printer.   Not only will it not print docs, it will not print web pages using IE 11 or Google Chrome.
I've used Print and Scan Doctor, it always reports there are no issues and prints a test page even though I can't print anything else.
Each time I want to print, I must reboot the computer. After reboot I have one chance to print.   This problem started February 15, 2015.
My operating system is Windows 8.1.   I have unintalled the HP software, rebooted, then reinstalled the software:
OJ8500_A910_1315-1.exe
HP Print and Scan Doctor - HPPSdr.exe
HPSupportSolutionsFramework-11.51.0049.msi
All versions were last downloaded on April 4, 2015.
I have a home wireless network (Ubee DDW366 router). All other devices in the house will print to the 8500A printer without issues: 2 Toshiba laptops, 2 Android phones, and 1FireHD.
The desk top is installed with a Netgear Network card I don't know the model, but I had it tested by a PC Tech to confirm that the card is working.   The card and Windows 8.1 were installed on January 3, 2015.
I have run virus scans and malware scans. Each time they show there are no issues with my desktop. What kind of desktop? Specifically made to my specs from store parts. . . no brand name computer. ASUS Motherboard P6X580 Premium. Now I will probably get hacked!
I am at my wits end. And it is frustrating when I need to make a print of something and the system locks up. I often resort to screen printing to a word document to save in order to reboot. . . .but then I lose all sorts of capabilites when I salvage what I needed. Also this is a time consumer.
This printer has served us well for two years and I have expensive cartridges waiting; another two rounds of refills.
Help?
Addendum: I can scan using HP Printer Assistance. I open the HP Printer assistant, it "retrieves" info from the printer, then I select "scan a document or photo" and the printer responds.   I have no trouble with scanning.
This question was solved.

HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus will not print from my MacAir

I have used my MacAir to print on my HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus for about 5 months without any problems. All of a sudden my printer will not print. The wireless icon says it's connected to the network. But when I click print it says "looking for air printer" and then "printer not connected". I've repeated the Wizard Set Up for the wireless connection. I've turned the printer and computer on and off. I've even tried printing from my iPhone but it will not find the printer anymore. Please help!

Hello @ladybonds ,
Thank you for taking the time to post on the HP Forums today! Hope you enjoy the experience.
You are saying that you have been printing fine from your computer for 5 months and now your printer says it is connected to the network and your computer says that it isn't.
Have you recently upgraded to Yosemite the new Apple OS? If not what OS X are you using?
Are you sure that the printer and your devices are on the same network?
Does the router give your printer an I.P address?
Let me know these answers and we can go from there.

My HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus printer will not recognize my wireless router passwrd

My printer was working fine but when I turned it on today it wouldn't connect to my wireless router. I try inputing the correct password and the printer gives me this message......"the WPA security passphrase configured on your HP printer does not match your wireless router setting" .
I have entered the password several times and I know what I have entered is correct

Hi @Southglen,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that your HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus printer will not recognize your wireless router password. I am sorry to hear this, but happy to help!
I would recommend to go through this guide, How to Find the WEP or WPA Key or Password for Your Wireless Network, just to double-check your wireless password, in case it might have changed.
I would also suggest a hard reset, by going to this post How to perform a Hard Reset, by @Rich1.
After those two steps, I would suggest a firmware update, Getting Printer Updates for HP Officejet Pro 8600 (N911), Officejet 6600 (H711) and Officejet 6700 P....
Let's start with these steps, and we will go from there!

HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus will not print

My 2 month old printer will not print unless I open and close the print cartridge door. The printer screen says it is printing, but nothing happens. I have followed all of the steps on line, but nothing works. Anyone else have this problem?

Does your printer display "Printing..." on the control panel, but never prints?
I had such a problem. The only way I could get mine to print was to unplug the power cord and plug it back in.
I found the problem was an "expired" ink cartridge. I replaced the cartridge with a new one and the problem went away. Check your ink cartridge statuses by using the Control Panel functions. If you see one that is expired (my panel displays a yellow exclamation mark on that cartridge's icon), try replacing it and see if the problem goes away.
My problem occurred whenever the printer went into "standby" mode. I think when it wakes up it checks the cartridges and when the firmware finds an expired cartridge it locks up. Just an educated guess.
Good luck! And if this helps, please click the Kudos button for me.

Officejet 6500 e710 keeps messaging paper out

This printer has lost connection with the router more times than I can count. I have to go through a whole process of rebooting the router, restarting my laptop, and re-adding the printer in order to get it to print. I've put up with this since I bought the thing. Now I can't get past the message "printer is out of paper." I've tried reloading the paper more times than I can count, and have gone throught the entire "what to do if printer says out of paper" checklist. This includes: hard reboot, checking the print settings, and taking the back off and cleaning the rollers. The next step would be to take it to a repair center, but we all know that, after 2 years, it's less expensive and less hassle to just buy a new one (which, I should tell you, probably won't be an HP). Too bad, because I like the the features and quality. Just another piece of unnecessary landfill unless someone here can help me.
I am using a Macbook Air with OS 10.9.4, but this has nothing to do with the OS. Printed fine this morning. PLEASE???
