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 open word documents created in Office for Mac

    I'm using system 10.10 with the latest version of Pages. Although I've read that if you right click on a word document you should get the option to open it with Pages, and it should be translated. But I get a message that the document can not be opened. I created it with Microsoft Office for Mac 2004 using Word.
    I've been able to email those documents to people who use PC's and they have always been able to open my documents, so why not Pages?

    I tried that, but no luck. I also tried copying my Office for Mac 2004 onto my new iMac 12,2 but that didn't work. because those programs won't run in the Yosemite operating system. I see that there is supposed to be a new Office for Mac 2015 version, but nobody seems to know if or when that will be released. I may purchase Officer for Mac 2011, but before that purchase I thought I'd ask Microsoft if the 2011 version would open up Work files created by the 2004 edition. Their support line put me in touch with someone in India who tried to be helpful, but I'm not convinced he really knows the answer. He tried to persuade me to get Open Office, but that's not what I want. I'd like to be able to compose documents on the Mac platform and send them as attachments to emails for people who I know are using PCs. I don't like that extra step you have to do through in Pages to export as a PC document. The same for Excel and Power Point.

  • My HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-One printer won´t print out documents, just pictures ...

    My HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-One printer won´t print out documents, just pictures. I´ve used the printer, since it was new on the marked, and it has worked perfectly until a few weeks back. There is no problem printing out pictures, but only blank pages comes out when I´m printing out documents. Regardless if it is Word, Excel etc.
    I´ve never used anything else than original cartridges, and the printer is used on Mac OS X 10.7.4. I´ve tried to reinstall the printer several times without any success.
    Can anyone help me?

  • Acrobat Pro XI Will Not Print Word Document with a Rotated Table

    I have a MS Word document that is mostly text, but include a table that has been rotated in a text box to fit on the page.  When I try to print to PDF using Acrobat Pro XI, the document crashes at the page the table is on.
    I have tried several attempts to print using the Acrobat Printer, convert to PDF feature and trying to print just the page alone.  Acrobat will simply not print word document with a rotated table.
    Any idea how to fix this?
    Word 2013, Windows 7, Acrobat Pro XI 11.0.06

    In the full document, the print to PDF goes only as far as the table, then ends - not printing the table.  The remaining pages are not printed.
    For example, I have trimmed the file down to just the table page, and included links to it, and a copy of the PDF it generated.

    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/60543835/Forums/Table%20Sample_140903.pdf
    The error message I now get when I try to print is: "There is not enough memory or disk space to repaginate or print this document."
    However, with the Task manager open, the memory never seems to get above half of the available (the graph bar fluctuates a little, but stays stable")
    The page prints to a regular HP or Xerox printer with no problems.

  • Ipad won't open Word documents without .doc appended

    My ipad won't open word documents attached to emails that don't have .doc appended, however my iphone does this flawlessly. Is this normal?

    Mine won't either. I was wondering if it had something to do with installing the pages app. My attachments with .doc are showing as pages docs.

  • Printing Word Documents on HP Deskjet 5150

    I have a G4 flat panel iMac connected to a HP deskjet 5150 printer. When I try to print Word documents, it will only print a single page of multipage documents. If I want multiple copies of a single page document, it will only print one copy. All other applications print without problem.
    I have reinstalled the drivers and that has not solved the problem.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Georgia and others,
    I have a similar problem - but printing from Word to a HP DeskJet 960 printer.
    It dones not seem to be a problem with all documents here, but since I yesterday used several hours trying to figure out what caused the problem I want to share my experiences with you. I had the same problem with another document on the same printer some moths ago (but not on our Laser printers at my company office).
    I installed the newest printer driver from HP (several times) with no effect. After opening the document and saving it to a ".txt" document - without any formatting - the whole document got printed! This is not a real solution in most cases, as one loses all the formatting etc. But it indicated to me that the printer worked and communicated with word. Also it was possbile to print (other) documents without any problems to the same printer, at the same time.
    So have you tested different documents on your printer?
    I'm wondering if this indicate that the problem is hidden somewhere in something inside Word/Office and it's communication to the printer - as I have seem someone reporting similar problems with printing from Excel? (something with some "codes" in specific documents?).
    Also, I have seen an update from Apple on some issues with printing from Preview - so I was also wondering if the use of "Show quick Preview" in Word/Office does has something to do with this problem? Has anyone tried to de-select this feature before trying to print? (I deleted the problematic document and can not re-create the problem currently).

  • I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

    I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

    The template is a document in itself, it is not applied to an existing document whether it is a Pages document or a Word document converted to a Pages document.
    You would need to either copy and paste content, using existing styles, or apply the styles to the converted Word document.
    You can Import the Styles from an existing document and those imported Styles can be used to override the current document's styles:
    Menu > Format > Import Styles
    The process is simplified if the styles use the same names, otherwise you will need to delete the style you don't want and replace it with the one that you do want when asked, then the substitution is pretty straightforward.

  • Adobe Pro - will not print word documents to pdf.. keeps crashing

    Hello,
    I have Acrobat Pro and when I try to print Word documents it says printing... and then crashes. The window to select the name of the pdf to print to never pops up. The Word program crashes and reopens. The print icon appears on the system tray and just says spooling.
    I am using Word 07.
    Acrobat Pro was working fine to print PDF's on this version of word for a few months then for some reason it just stopped.
    When I print PDF's from existing PDF's it works fine.
    I have tried to repair the program but it did not help.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Miguel

    If you are having problems creating a PDF, there are two steps you should do FIRST
    Go to the appropriate vendor web site and apply all updates to the program you are using (several recent messages have concerned problems with MS Office conversion, with the response that different versions of Office have different BUGS that must be fixed by a download from Microsoft - and MS Office products are not the only ones which may, from time to time, need to be updated to work properly)
    Apply all updates IN NUMBER ORDER

  • Trying to print word document in postsript format it gives invalid flavor

    I want to print word document in PDF format or post script format.I have installed PDF writter .This gives exception -invalid Flavor
    Please help me how shall i correct this
    import java.io.*;
    import javax.print.*;
    import javax.print.attribute.*;
    import javax.print.attribute.standard.*;
    import javax.print.event.*;
    public class PrintPage {

    try {
    // Open the image file
    InputStream is = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream("E:/a.doc"));
    // Find the default service
    DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.POSTSCRIPT;
    PrintService service = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
    // Create the print job
    DocPrintJob job = service.createPrintJob();
    Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(is, flavor, null);
    // Monitor print job events; for the implementation of PrintJobWatcher,
    // see e706 Determining When a Print Job Has Finished
    // PrintJobWatcher pjDone = new PrintJobWatcher(job);
    // Print it
    job.print(doc, null);

    is.close();
    } catch (PrintException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    }

    This mean your printer did not support this DocFlavor.
    Try to find what DocFlavor your printer support.
    // Just check the default one
    PrintService service = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
    DocFlavor[] flavors = service.getSupportedDocFlavors();
    for (int i = 0; i < flavors.length; i++) {
    System.out.println(flavors.toString());

  • Printer will not print word documents or documents from internet however does a test print

    My printer will not print word documents or documents from the internet.  However it does complete a test print.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled printer.  I have disabled and enbled the firewall and have run the test doctor programme, which has been unable to identify any problems.  I have a HP deskjet 3050A all in one J611 series printer.

    Sorry that you are having a problem with printing word documents and internet. 
    Are you connected USB or wireless?
    You can try to download an alternative driver and check to see if that works. (Shane_R) has a great post on how to do so. 
    The deskjet 990c is usually the better one.

  • Can't print: "Before you can perform print-related tasks such as page setup or printing a document,

    Hello,
    I have searched these forums but have not found a solution to my problem.
    I recently purchased an IOGear USB Print Server (print server only, not USB device server). I was having issues installing and followed a Microsoft support document to try and resolve the issue. It had me remove some entries from the registry.
    Hours later, I was able to get the printer installed and working, but I do not know if it was a result of the registry tweak. But now that it has been installed, I cannot get anything to print from Acrobat Reader (I have tried 7.0 and 8.1.1). I get the following error message:
    "Before you can perform print-related tasks such as page setup or printing a document, you need to install a printer."
    Is there something I should check in the registry to make sure that it will work? I do know for sure that it was working when it was just the printer and drivers installed, it only happened after running the print server setup. I have already tried removing the printers and drivers from the system.
    Thanks,
    Braden

    I have a problem similar to those posted here, with one difference. With my printers newly installed, regardless of which one is selected as the default, when I try to print from Adobe Reader I receive the error message we're talking about : "Before you can perform a print related task...."
    Here's the fun part.
    If I click OK on the message, ALL MY PRINTERS GET DELETED and, I get the windows message that "Spooler subsystem app has encountered a problem and needs to close"! If instead of clicking OK I switch to Task Manager and end Adobe, I'm fine and can print from other programs.
    I can "reset" the problem by deleting the files in C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Printers and C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Drivers\w32x86, restarting the machine, and deleting then reinstalling the printers (which show up again after the restart).
    BUT, if I try to print from Adobe Reader again, I get the same cycle of problems.
    I am running Windows Vista and Adobe Reader 8.1
