Pages won't print or make PDFs

I recently purchased iWork '08 thinking it could replace Office for me. I can't even get it to print or create PDFs. The best I can do is export to Word format and use Word to print and create PDFs. I get two errors out of pages. "Error while printing" and selected pages out of range. Nothing else is having a problem. How do I fix this or at least get some genuine support out of Apple?

I'll bet you have an HP printer. It's a long-standing problem between Apple applications & HP printers, specifically AppleWorks & Pages (any version of either) & HP printers. I'll also guess that you have numbered your pages starting with a number other than 1. Try putting the specific page numbers in the print dialog. For example, if you have a six-page document but the pages are numbered 11 to 16, an HP printer doesn't know what to do. Tell it to print pages 11 to 16 & it likely will work.

  • CS3 Won't print or make PDF

    I have a 48 page document I created since upgrading to Windows 7. It will not allow me to print it out or make a PDF of it- I have to do about 8 pages at a time. Preflight indicates no issues, and a similar document created last year will print fine.  Have restarted with a new file twice- same issue. Other files created since the upgrade also work.  I have had numerous different error messages from JPEG is corrupt (checked all and no problems) to out of memory (plenty of memory) to this problem signature:

    That is one of the options we are looking at, wasn't sure if it was an OS problem or something else. Any idea how CS5 runs with

  • Particular web page won't print

    Running Safari with latest Mavericks  update, one particular web page won't print on my ethernet connected HP laser printer (Laserjet P2015). The page is at bialetti.com ( Italian coffeemmaker machine co.). When I try to print the page, the printer job page says it's connected and ready to print but instead it sends the printer into a series of error lights starting with both paper jam and low ink then going to noi paper. After a minute or so it reboots itself and returns to a single green light indicating it's ready to print. The job screen then says "broken pipe". What confounds me is that any other web page will print with no problem. What could cause this?

    I have tried the pdf route but with the same result. I can print a German eBay posting from Safari but not this Italian site. Another iMac with Mavericks on the same network has the same problem. Connecting to the printer over Wi-Fi or ethernet also refuses to print the page. I may contaqct Hp as the sequence of trouble lights that occur may give them a clue.

  • Filemaker Pro 9 file won't print p 4  pdf issue?  Good Filemaker Pro site?

    Today is one of those print file from hades days. A 77 page file in Filemaker Pro 9 will print until it gets to page four. Then the printer times out and drops the file. What printer you ask? Well, the first ten tries were on a Laserwriter Pro 16/600 PS. It prints any other page just fine. So, I tried saving the file as a pdf. Preview will display the page but not print either. So I export the records on that page into a new database with just the records on page four. Still will not print page one of only one page. I add a new record by duplicating one record. That spills one record onto page two. Page two prints just fine. Could one of the records have a bitter code pill that corrupts the print file?
    I copy the pdf to a thumb drive and take it to a different computer. The second 16/600 PS does not print the page. The LED flashes several times then goes solid without printing. Then the HP 4500 does not print it.
    Can anyone recommend a good public forum for Filemaker issues? Sites I have found so far are commercial in nature. I have used Filemaker with great satisfaction since 1985 and Filemaker Plus. No major complaints until Filemaker Pro 9. Version 2 was great. Still use it once a week. Pro 3 was also problem free as was Pro 4. Any ideas would be appreciated. I am usually in the legacy products discussions but new software requires OS X.
    Thanx in advance.

  • Printing Problem - Multiple pages won't print

    I am attempting to print the inside pages of a wedding program using Pages '08. I have two printers - an HP 7580 and a Lexmark c544dn. I have elected file>print>copies and hit print. The Lexmark prints one copy while the HP shows only a red exclamation mark by the printer and will not print anything. Curiously, the outer page of the program will print multiple copies on the 7580. The inner back to back page (or more clearly, a portion of the program is on each half) is slightly smaller and the sizing has been adjusted accordingly and of course the page oriented to Landscape. This is about to drive me crazy because I can find no reason one section would print correctly while the inner pages won't. I'm sure there's some simple setting I'm missing But -- I'll appreciate any help to solve this puzzle

  • Cannot print or make pdfs.

    Hi!
    For some while I have not been able to print (with any printer) or create pdfs. Shortly, whatever I could usually do after pressing command+P I can't do anymore, regardless of what program I'm doing it from. Once I click 'print' or 'create pdf' or 'view pdf in preview' or anything like that, I immediately get the error message "error while printing". So it seems to be a system issue.
    When it still worked, when I opened the print dialog I would be shown a little preview in the dialog window. This little preview is now empty whatever I am trying to print or create a pdf from. 
    I am running mountain lion, but I have been able to print for a while from mountain lion before the problem occurred. The thing that I did shortly before I became unable to print is to upgrade to 8GB instead of 4GB of RAM. I think I have been able to print after that, but I am not entirely sure.
    I did run the 'correct permissions' program from the disk utility, which repaired a lot of permissions but did not solve the printing issue.
    I haven't so far been able to find a solution to this priblem online, and I'd be very glad if someone could help me resolve the issue!
    Thanks a lot!

    In Print & Scan system prefs, right-click in the printer list and select Reset Printing System. You'll have to add all your printers, again.

  • Pages won't print in Firefox

    I have several pages that print fine in all browsers except
    Firefox. Either they print the template only or they move the
    contents to a second page leaving only the top image in the
    template on the first piece of paper. I sometimes can fix the page
    but it is never anything I can put my finger on as being one
    solution to all pages. Here are some things that I do that let the
    page print: shrink a picture, change the location of the picture,
    take off a text class designation, move a table from the top of the
    page to the bottom.
    For example this page doesn't print properly:
    http://www.terrauniversal.com/products/GowningProducts/garbparts2.php
    But when I copied the the top table with the text in it and
    pasted it at the bottom of the page, then it does print. See this
    page:

    I'd really like to know what is going on.

    Strange - my FF2 print preview showed it ok, and so did IE7,
    and Opera
    - but IE6 print preview didn't display a thing.
    First thing I always check is validation - and it fails

  • Some items on page won't print - even as a pdf!

    I am a bit of a newbie on Indesign (much better on Photoshop) and this phenomenom is driving me nuts.  It has never happened before.
    I have a two page CMYK document.
    Some of the graphics and some of the text (modified with basic feather, transparency and angle) steadfastly refuses to print, either to our laser printer or even to pdf.
    One page prints perfect, the other only partially prints.  Both have images and text.
    Any thoughts?
    (Working on CS4 on Windows XP Pro)

    That should not have solved a problem of objects not printing, so there's something else going on. Was this restricted to a single document, or happening with many files? If one doc, see Remove minor corruption by exporting, if many, see Replace Your Preferences

  • Pages won't print in color on Xerox Phaser 6110

    For some reason, I have to print as pdf, then use preview to print the pdf version if I want the document in color. If I try just going from pages to the phaser, I get a black and white document instead. I've been trying to find a setting in pages that might limit the color, but haven't found it. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

    For some reason, I have to print as pdf, then use preview to print the pdf version if I want the document in color. If I try just going from pages to the phaser, I get a black and white document instead. I've been trying to find a setting in pages that might limit the color, but haven't found it.
    In principle, if the imports colour photographs and creates colour page geometries in Apple Pages, then these objects will be colour managed to the digital graphic display, the digital graphic printer, and the digital graphic press. The colours will match provided the digital graphic devices have correct ICC colour space profiles and provided the conversions are configured correctly.
    A digital graphic device that is capable of colour can be addressed in 1 bit (off/on without tone), grayscale (tone) and colour. How a digital graphic device is addressed cannot be defined by Apple Pages, it is defined at the device driver or at the device interface whether as a colour managed or colour blind command.
    Apparently, the Xerox device driver is addressed differently depending on whether Apple Preview is rendering PDF or Apple Pages is rendering. If you can't find any setting in the Xerox device driver to change from grayscale to colour, the simplest solution is simply to save out PDF from Pages and print from Preview probably until OS X 10.6 is out.
    To check the settings for the Xerox device driver, one place you might have a look is Print > Printer: (Xerox Phaser), Presets: (check that there is no preset for grayscale), scroll from Copies & Pages down to check ColorSync and also check if any application features and printer features that are able to affect a conversion to grayscale.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I set up Macintosh Classic printing to make PDFs?

    A set-up that works very well, and one that I recommend, is that you maintain the latest Acrobat on the OS X side, and use it to create your PDFs. The executive summary is (1) set up printers in Classic using OS X Acrobat PPDs; (2) print PostScript files; and (3) distill in OS X.
    Locate an Acrobat 7 PPD, and copy it to the Classic System Folder's Extensions\Printer Descriptions folder. In OS X, look for ADPDF7.PPD in /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/en.lproj.
    Create either or both of (i) an Adobe PDF printer instance using Desktop Printer Utility, or (ii) a Virtual Printer, properly attached to the version 7 PPD file. To date I have not found any difference in these two. Since they're both attached to the same PPD, I would think their behavior would be the same. Note that these steps have you use standard Mac dialogs to navigate to the PPD file you copied earlier from Step 1 -- if you get to the target folder and don't see the PPD, change its type:creator to TEXT:???? or TEXT:ttxt.
    Set up some good defaults. In the PostScript Settings section, I recommend Level 3 Only, Binary, and Font inclusion=all (but note that you can also choose selections to make EPS, too. In Printer Specific Options, I usually drop it down to 600. If you created a printer using Apple Desktop Utility and one using Virtual Printer, you need to do these for both.
    Print to a file from FrameMaker, using one of these printers. You will find the printing options you are familiar with in the Windows world in the FrameMaker 7.0 section.
    Distill the resulting file in Acrobat from OS X.

    I set up my new HP Descjet 3054A . I had a problem becouse Apple give me CD as a driver. The thing was that CD wasn good for this printer becouse it was old software:) I had to go to Apple store so the specialist had to download me he wright driver. Becouse I didnt wannet to screw this up . When he downloaded driver I fired it up at house and thingworks perfect. The thing is when you download all the software from HP side . Then you have to connect your MAC to printer via USB . Fallow the instructions it should works. Worked for me. Good Luck!

  • Pages won't print Word documents

    All of a sudden I can't seem to get Pages to print Word documents. Pages documents print fine, but if I send a Word document to the printer, the printer seems to start, but then never prints. I have an Epson Stylus C86. This problem only happens in Pages and only with Word documents.
    Any ideas?

    Since it only happens with Word docs, I'm wondering if it's a font issue. For the sake experimentation, try highlighting the entire doc, and change fonts, then try printing again.

  • Pages won't print in landscape?

    I just upgraded to the latest version of Pages for iOS, and it seems I have lost the ability to print in landscape. Even if the document itself is in landscape orientation it still prints in portrait. In fact, documents that are in landscape orientation that printed just fine last week now print in portrait as well. Same documents, same printer, the only change is the Pages upgrade. Any ideas how to fix this?
    Thanks!

    Works OK with New Pages on iPad Air,  iOS 7.0.4.  using a Canon MG3500 printer via WiFi.
    Portrait page was printed as Portrait,  Landscape as Landscape.
    First time printing from iPad. 
    As there were no Landscape or Portrait settings within Pages I'd check the printer settings.
    Selecting the printer from the recent printer list seems to be built in.. I only have one.

  • Pages won't print but the printer is connected and will print

    Is added the up app for printers. I can get the printer to print but when I ask pages to print a document it says no printer found. Any ideas?

    What app are you trying to print with? Not all printing apps will print documents and Pages might be looking for an AirPrint printer.

  • Acrobat 8.1.4 Won't Print.  Adobe PDF 8.0 Printer Leaves No Files

    Mac OS X 10.5.6
    Acrobat 8.1.4
    MacbookPro 2.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4GB RAM
    Just finished a fresh install of OS and CS3 Web Premium.  The Adobe Printer worked for a little bit then just stopped.  It appears to be going through the process okay, but when you go out to the Finder and look in the folder it was supposed to be printing to then you see there is no file there.
    I've tried printing directly from Acrobat to my HP2100M laser printer but the queue says it's sending it to the printer then a very short time later says it's done, but nothing comes from the printer.  If I open the same pdf in Preview then it prints to the printer with no problem.
    Even though I've only had this software for 10 months, Adobe says they no longer offer free support for their product not working unless I buy their new product.  I take it to mean that they have a great deal of incentive to release new products in order to stop supporting the old?  No free support within the first year?  Scary.
    Anybody have ideas?

    Your welcome.
    Another tip:
    If you have more than one version of acrobat  6,7,8, 9 ...
    use same procedure ask I outlined above.
    Now open the latest verion of acrobat you have loaded.
    Now have it reinsall the PDF printer as outlined above.
    Now an version of Acrobat can use any newer version of the Adobe PDF Printer, but will only use the features built into that version of Acrobat. Any newer features in the PDFversion simply will not be used.
    Having more than one copy of the Adobe PDF Printer can cause Strange problems.
    This only applies to Mac version of Acrobat. Because Mac's install each newer version into a new Directory. Last information I heard you can not have more than one version of Acrobat due to Registration keys.
