Pdf printer offline

After installing Reader 9.0 my pdf printer went offline. Cannot print to pdf from any application.
I am using Acrobat 6.0 and when trying to repair the program from the original disk an error code said that the patch was not valid.
Any suggestions?

Sorry my English is not perfect.
The PDF Printer is offline when I am out of office. when I connect to the network is working normally.

Printing to PDF– printer offline

I'm trying to print a document to PDF.
In the dock is a printer icon labeled Adobe PDF 8.0 @ My Computer
When I click on the icon a box opens, showing the cue.
It says "Printing '2012 AlumBulletin.indd.'
Looking for printer...
Printer offline.
How do I get the PDF printer back online?
Is there some prefs file to trash and then restart?

Hi, I am having the same problem on multiple computers starting this spring as you reported. I just bought a new win 7 64-bit (happens on 32 bit too) and installed Adobe 9 Pro. First time I used it to print from the web on IE 9 the garbage printing happened. I've started to use other methods of creating PDFs because the Adope PDF printer is too unreliable, sometimes it works, more often it does not. The problem also occurs when printing a PDF of a word document. Fortunately, I can use Word to save in PDF format which does work.
Very Very Aggravating !!

Firefox 4 beta 12 can't print a page to adobe pdf printer unlike ealier versions

instead of bookmarking a page, I'd print to adobe pdf printer so I can always access offline but now it is no longer possible with firefox 4 beta 12. at first I thought adobe acrobat professional was corrupted so I repaired it - but I still had the same problem. I have installed acrobat professional 8 but nothing has really changed.
Mark.

This nasty bug is a known problem caused by the beta 12 update. You could wait til' the RC comes out, or you could grab one of the latest nightly builds availible here that fix this problem: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-central/
Just a note though, nightly versions of firefox are generally less stable than betas or releases. I am waiting for the Release Candidate to come out myself. (Should be early next week)

Acrobat X Pro v10.1.9: Cannot print to Adobe PDF Printer (access is denied)

Hello.
Suddenly I was not able to print Office 2013 files / Autocad files / Internet Explorer pages directly to Adobe PDF Printer anymore on my WINDOWS 7 Ultimate x64 sp1 computer.
I have tried to uninstall and reinstall Acrobat X Pro, but the issue was not resolved.
Neither after updating to the latest version (10.1.9).
When I try to print from any software (Office 2013 / AutoCAD 2012 / Others), are displayed two windows:
a) the first one named "Printing (not responding)", with the information: "now printing the file..."
b) the second one named "Save PDF File As", to where I do not have access to the filename fied to insert it neither to click the "cancel" button to abort the print dialog. It seems that this window is not active.
I have to click on the red "X" button on the first window to shutdown the application. Here is the error dialog I got:

When I try to print a webpage in Internet Explorer using the same printer, I get an "Adobe PDF" window stating "Access is denied".
Can anyone help me restoring this feature?

The reinstall is typically the last ditch effort to do. The first step is Help>Repair and Help>Updates. As far as Office 2013, the PDF Maker of AA X is not compatible and you can only print. In your list of errors it showed a problem with AcroTray.exe. As a first step, go to the print and select print-to-file. The file will be a PS file (maybe with a PRN extension). Once the printer if finished, open the file in Distiller to complete the process. If that is successful, then the problem is with AcroTray. Check your running tasks to be sure AcroTray is indeed running. If not, that is likely the problem. If it is, then restart it (it is located in the Acrobat folder). AcroTray provides the interface between the PS creation and Distiller to automate the process of creating the PDF.

'Printer offline' error message

My Epson XP-405 printer is turned on and working normally. But when I send an InDesign document to it I get the false error message 'Printer offline'. Documents created in all my other programs print without problems.

Printer offline error after sleep

I upgraded to Leopard 10.5, then 10.5.1 and my Epson C1100 will print until my alu iMac Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz has slept, then the print queue says the printer is offline. I restart and it works again until the next sleep cycle.
Anyone know a fix for this? How bad is a computer that has to be restarted each time I want to print?

Pdf printer driver install win 8.1

i have uninstalled and reinstalled reader 11 5 times, that is after installing reader 8.1 in cs3. i have searched and tried every option and spent 5 hrs trying to get the pdf printer installed on my new asus with win 8.1. i was able to down load pdf blue and it worded out of the box. but why should i pay another $50 when i already pay adoby for the reader. can any one help me with the fix?

I have read your post several times, but I cannot figure out what your problem is; can you rephrase it?
Also this part does not make any sense to me

Save As Dialog not responding - PDF Printer

Whenever I try and print to the PDF printer, (If preferences are set to prompt for file name) the "Save As " dialog locks up. The only way to clear this is to stop the Acrotray.exe. process.
I have tried changing the printer preferences, but the only options that I can get to work are:
Prompt for Adobe PDF filename
Documents\*.pdf
I I use the browse to point to a different location, when I save the setting, exit and then go back to check it, it has reset to Prompt.
System
Windows 7 Ultimate
Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.3

to make things clearer a screenshot of the dialog I'm talking about. this happens everywhere such a generic save file dialog appears.

Adobe PDF Printer not working as print driver; 9.5.5 (pro) with Windows 7, 64 bit

I have installed, repaired, uninstalled and re-installed Acrobat Pro 9.5.5 on a newly formatted SSD with Windows 7, 64 bit on my desktop machine. The program was installed from Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 and updated within the program. I have the program also installed on my laptop, and the Adobe PDF Printer driver is working properly on my laptop.
On my desktop with the newly formatted SSD, the Adobe PDF printer driver is not working. Note that I am using the printer driver, and not any pdf creation techniques within MS Office or other programs.
When I go to the Adobe PDF printing preferences on my desktop, I only get a generic, two tab window open. When I print a file to this printer on my desktop machine, I do not get a window opening that asks where to create the pdf or what to name it, and I never see any files created. In MS Word, the Create PDF option under the Acrobat tab works and opens a dialog to ask the name and location to save, and then opens a PDF Maker progress window and properly creates the file. I can also save a file as an .eps or .ps file and use Distiller to create the pdf. However I cannot get the Adobe PDF printer driver in my Devices and Printers to work properly, although it works just fine on my laptop with the same program (Pro 9.5.5) and same Windows version (7, 64 bit).
Repairing, uninstalling and re-installing does not solve the problem. Acrotray.exe *32 process is running. Any ideas on why this won't run properly on my desktop, but will run on a similarly configured laptop?
On my laptop, I get a full, (7) tabl menu with all the normal options:

I found this answer from Deepak Chauhan on another forum, and it solved this problem!
Try this to add Adobe PDF printer manually on Windows 7, and Windows Vista.
If windows 7 is Enterprise or better edition: (Admin rights required)
Start>search for printmanagement.msc and open the print management module
Expand the print server and expand the computer name to see availbale printers, drivers and printer ports.
- from printers ensure there's no Adobe PDF printer, if there is delete it
- go to ports and delete the PDF ports (the ones ending in *.pdf)
- go to drivers and delete the PDF converter.
Take note if any errors occur, but continue with the following steps regardless.
If on windows 7 home edition, just goto start>Devices and Printers and ensure PDF pritner is not listed.
Then open the registry (if any erors deleting these keys happen, see below)
1: go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Printers
delete any adobe PDF printer subkey present
2: go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors
delee the PDF port monitor if present
3: go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers
again delete and pdf printer subkey
If any erros occur, you need to set the owner of the key to the currently logged in admin user, then ensure that user has full control.
Do this by right-click the key and selecting permissions, clicking on advanced, then the owner tab.
Once you've all that has been done, open a command line as administrator.
Copy and pate the following commands in order
1: net stop spooler
2: rundll32.exe setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection AdobePDFPortMonitor 128 C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\AdobePDF.inf
3: net start spooler
4:rundll32.exe printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /if /b "Adobe PDF" /f "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\AdobePDF.inf" /r "Documents\*.pdf" /m "Adobe PDF Converter"
That should set back the pdf printer.
This seemed to provide the link that provided the Adobe PDF Settings tab to the Adobe PDF Printing Preferences that was missing!

Printer offline when connected to Time Capsule

I moved my HP All-In-One C4580 from my office to my home. At home, I use my Time Capsule as my primary wireless router.
I have followed every step that HP tells me, in terms of removing and reinstalling the software, and still, the only way I can print is to have the printer connected directly to my MacBookPro via a USB cable. I was expecting to be able to use it either wirelessly, like it says it is supposed to be capable of, or with it wired to my Time Capsule via USB. The last piece of advice I got from tech support at HP was this:
"I recommend you to open the EWS Page of your router and check the MAC filtering option. I would request you to contact Apple for the assistance on the same. The printer works after connecting to Mac using USB cable and the message 'Printer offline' appears after connecting to the Apple Time capsule base station."
I cannot figure out what the EWS page is, or how I would get to it.

Thanks LaPastenaue.
I ran the network utility but only the macbook had a .local suffix. I'm struggling to understand the info from Netstat to be honest and obviously I'm not keen on sharing my network data with the rest of the interweb.
I did try moving the TC into the same room as the HH5. I moved all the connections from the HH and plugged them into the gigabit ethernet ports on the TC and ran one Cat6 from the TC WAN port into the HH, using it as a modem only. This was not the setup I was hoping for as I am running out of room for kit, but annoyingly, this does give me a solid AirPlay connection on all my devices when on the TC network.
I did a comparison on each setup with netstat and I see that in the first 'Internet' table that the TC is not mentioned in the old setup(TC in separate room) but is listed in the 'Internet' table when I have it plugged up as above.
It seems that whenever I have the music streamer plugged in to the TC directly I get AirPlay but if it daisy chained through the HH ethernet hub I get an intermittant and flaky AirPlay connection.
Any more thoughts?

HP 670 all-in-one / printer offline?

I've had my 6700 for quite a while and it used to print fine? Now I can only print system configurations and supply levels.
Nothing will print from my print que.
Seems to have something to do with a new router, even though the printer says it has a good internet connection-this all started with a new Netgear access point?
So my Macbook has a great connection and my printer says its connected, but nothing will print, I only get a "printer offline: with each job?
Also on my print status the "server" light is red on my connections?
I'm exhausted trying to figure this out - help please.

Hi there lindaswan
I saw your post about your printer showing it's offline and will not print from your Mac. I would suggest following the steps in the guide below:
'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the Printer Does Not Print: Mac OS X
If that does not help, check the settings on your router. Here is the info you need:
Network name and password need to have no spaces or punctuation
If using WPA2 security, switch to WPA personal
Dual broadcast Wireless b/g/n (printer will only connect to g)
Mac filter needs to be turned off
Firewall settings need to be at there default settings, or set to a lower security
Multicasting "on"
Following ports need to be un-blocked:
Incoming (UDP) ports : 137, 138, 161, 427
Outgoing (TCP) ports : 137, 139, 427, 9100, 9220, 9500

Message of "printer offline" when trying to print

Hello,
I have iphone 4s and a HP wireless printer a little less than 3 years old. When trying to print something from my iphone, it keeps giving me the message "printer offline" with choices for continue or cancel. I hit continue, but same message comes up a minute or two later. This happens even when my printer is awake and wirelss signal is strong. My phone finds the printer when i try to print, but keep getting this printer offline message. Any help would be appreciated.

Is your particular printer model AirPrint compatible? Here's the list, as well as guidnance for setup and use:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
If your HP printer is not one of those on the HP list, then you wiould need some othe app to print from your iPhone. Search the App Store.

Printer 'offline' when actually not on wireless connection laptop

I have an Officejet Pro L7590, connected via a wired connection to my Linksys router.
My laptop runs Windows 7 32-bit Home Premium and is wireless connected to my router.
When I double-click the printer in 'Devices and Printers'. It shows 'printer offline'
When I print a document it goes to the queue, but doesn't printer.
I have already tried the following:
. re-install the printer
. install the printer as local printer, with as port the IP address of the printer
. install the printer as networkprinter
. run the Diagnostic tools provided by HP
But still the same problem.
When I connect my laptop via a wired connection to my router (without changing anything to me printer settings) the printer is 'online' and works fine.
How can I make the printer work when my laptop has a wireless connection?

Hi there,
Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
Best of Luck!

Using PDF Printer TO Print Multiple Word Docs At Once.

I Have Just upgraded from acrobat to acrobat 3d. In Acrobat 5 i was able to select a batch of word document (150+ usually) and use the send to command to send them to the acrobat distiller and each document would open one at a time print and then close. I have now been upgraded to Acroabat 3D and if i use the same Send to Command to send a batch of word docs to the pdf printer it tries to open all the selected files at once and i get an error message "the command cannot be performened because a dialog box is open..." this is because the 1st document is open and printing so the secound document that opened at the same time cannot operate the print command. Can Anyone help?

Thanks for the suggestion but...
1. I can't get these scripts to run in 10.4.8
What if you save the script as a stand alone app? Does that make a difference?
2. I haven't spent much timr trying since it looks
like thy only convert "JPEG", "GIFf", "PICT", "TIFF",
"PDF" & "TEXT". Am I wrong?
That's what it looks like from the "extension-list" - what type of files are you trying to convert?
