PDF printing with PDFCreator not working optimally in FireFox4. Can firefox3 printing be enable?

In Firefox 4 printing seems to have changed in a way that negatively impacts PDF printing. I use PDFCreator an open source PDF printer. Changes to Firefox 4 seem to make it impossible to pass of text to a ghostscript style PDF printer rather it hands off all the text as images which makes the PDF files much larger and none searchable. Is there a way to disable this behavior in Firefox 4 so that works like it did in 3?
PS This problem seems to impact all PS2PDF/Ghostscript based PDF printers/virtual printers including PDFCreator, CutePDF, BullZip and others

Hi,
I had this problem too. I found a workaround though: Run Firefox 4 in Safe Mode, which disables all addons. The PDF when printed will be searchable and very low in size.
The key now is to find out which addon is breaking this function. Hope others can do some testing and shed some light on this.

Just got a macbook, and I cannot print on my printer. I used to be able to print on my printer with my old Dell laptop, but I can't print with my macbook. I can see the printer network on on my macbook, it says it is my default printer, but I can't print.

I just got a macbook air and I cannot print on my home printer which is networked through my wife's window based computer. I can see the wifi network, I can see the printer, it is set as my default, but I can't print.
Any ideas?

You may have to visit the printer manufacturer's web site and look into their support pages to get a print driver for your Mac, and install it. Or see if you can see if a driver may already be in your Mac by checking settings, since there are many drivers already installed in Mac OS X.
Good luck & happy computing!

Printing an iframe with pdf using javascript is not working in IE8 and above

I have a problem with printing and Iframe with PDF in IE 8 and above
Following is my javascript:
var urlValue="";//Path of the file to be printed
var div = document.getElementById("printerDiv");
div.innerHTML = '<iframe src="' + urlValue + '" id="frame" name="frame" style="width:100%;height:100%;"></iframe>';
frame.focus();
frame.print();
This same thing is working fine in other browser but for IE is just not invoking the print dialog.
Also I tried to get the frame.print(); on load of the frame but even that is not working exactly as that way it print the parent window in output.
Few things I tried like:
1) div.innerHTML = '<iframe src="' + urlValue + '"
onload="this.contentWindow.print();"></iframe>';
2) frame.contentWindow.focus();
frame.contentWindow.print();
3) window.document.getElementsByTagName('iframe')['frame'].onload = (function () {
frame.focus();
frame.print();
I need to get the print of only the content which is in Iframe which I am binding in "printerDiv" by javascript.
Any perfect/different solution from which I have tried then please post here?
Thanks.

PDF documents are hosted in an ActiveX or netscape plugin control which have their own printing functions.
Start>Adobe Reader>Edit>Preferences - to adjust what functionality the PDF document viewer addon displays (menus etc).
Tools>Manage Addons>Show all addons
make sure you have both the x86 and x64 versions of your PDF reader Active X control installed and enabled. I would recommend also that you update to the latest version of the vendors' (Adobe?) plugin.
Possibly you have disabled scripting of ActiveX controls in the IE security zone that your parent page maps to. Also there is an IE security zone feature that prevents navigation to a domain in a zone of lower integrity.
Tools>Internet Options>Security tab, click "Reset all zones to default".
when asking developer related questions it is helpful if you can include a link to your website.

AcroPDF ActiveX print functions are not working with Adobe Reader 9.2 / Actobat Reader 9.3

AcroPDF ActiveX print functions are not working with Reader 9.2/9.3. Tried ActiveX print functions like printPages(), printAll(), printWithDialog(), none of them is working. Tried on platforms: XP 32 bit and Win7 32 bit. These print functions all work fine with Adobe Reader 9.1.0. or 8.2.0 or 8.1.0 on XP 32 bit or Win7 32 bit.
The way I have my setup: I have created a C/C++ project with AcroPDF MFC ActiveX classes. I have created an AcroPDF object in there, and then calling it's LoadFile() function passing a pdf file in the parameter. Then calling the printPages() or printAll() function. With Adobe Reader 9.1.0. or 8.2.0 or 8.1.0, printing is starting through the default printer without any problem. As soon as I update the reader version to 9.2 or more, the same code stops working.
Is anybody noticing any similar issue? Any info on this will be highly appreciated. Thank you!

Unfortunately printWithDialog() is also not working. Actually none of the print functions like Print(), printWithDialog(), printPages(), printPagesFit(), printAll(), printAllFit() are working. All of them works fine though with older reader.
BTW, what security related changes are there for printPages() and printAll()? Can you please elaborate on that? Is there any workaround?

Why does my printer HP 3080 not work with Mac OS X VERSION 10.7.5

Why does my printer HP 3080 not work with Mac OS X VERSION 10.7.5. Am I missing a driver? If so where do I go to download it? thanks

What's the full model number and name of the printer? I can't seem to find any HP printer with the numbers 3080 in the model number.
How are you connecting the printer to the Mac?

I am trying to print all the PDF pages in a range of 5 pages but can only print one page at a time . . . It will print the current page, but not all or pages 1-5. Can this be overcome?

I am trying to print all the PDF pages in a range of 5 pages but can only print one page at a time . . . It will print the current page only, but not all or pages 1-5. I need to go to the next subsequent page and command to print current page; continuing with this procedure until all pages are printed one at a time. Can this be overcome?

You can use printPages(1, 5), however I need to know how you print current page.

HP Printer F4180- Scanner not working

I've installed Snow Leopard, but now its now letting me scan. It will print documents, but when I click 'scan' it says 'scanner not found'. I thought this update was supposed to make using my printer easier!!! Can anyone tell me how to sort this out? I depend on this scanner to create work and this is frustrating to say the least!
Thanks,
T SCOTT

I can confirm what everybody else in this thread has said and add one detail. I bought an HP 3055 all-in-one yesterday and after installing the software, not only wouldn't it scan ("waiting for PC..." forever) but it also wouldn't print, AND another HP printer elsewhere on my network STOPPED working.
After an hour on the phone with HP support (10 minutes just to register my info), the guy confirmed that there is no 10.5 driver, didn't know when there would be one, and added the following amazing fact. Not only does the software on the CD that comes with the printer/scanner not work with 10.5, it actually BREAKS its printing from Leopard (and similarly the 10.4 or earlier downloadable drivers from hp.com). He claimed that printing from 10.5 works on the 3055 out of the box, but if you are so reckless as to install the software that actually came with the printer, it permanently stops working. (Plus, apparently, stops the printing of other HP devices.)
He went on to say the only fix was to re-install the Mac OS . However, I can report that after un-installing every piece of HP software on my machine (using their uninstallers, not just deleting), then restarting, the printer now works, and so does the other HP printer on the network. (Scanning still doesn't work.)
Btw, echoing other complaints on this thread, the reason I bought a new HP scanner was because my old one had stopped working ever since (I think) 10.4, and I finally gave up.

Finger Print Scanner is not working after downloading new operating system 8.1

Hi @sam1211 ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook and Bluetooth and HP Simplepass complications since doing a Windows upgrade. Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant. Just download and run the application. Just to make sure all drivers and software are updated as well.
Here is a document on troubleshooting and using Bluetooth if needed. Under the tips for finding a Bluetooth device, there is a section on making sure the wireless communication is turned on. This is an important section.
Here is another document with some great information about Bluetooth fixes.
Here is a link to troubleshoot the HP Simplepass software.
The HP SimplePass Identity Protection Software must be updated to v8.00.57 or later. Here is a link to download the latest. You will have to uninstall the old software.
Hope this helps you with the Bluetooth and HP Simplepass.
Thanks.

Print Spooler does not work after Win 8.1 install

I upgraded several computers to Win 8.1. Most are operating normally and do not have this problem. This is relevant to show that it is not a printer hardware or compatibility problem. On one computer, the print function is not working.
I've tried reinstalling printers, getting new drivers, etc. It comes down to this. An active (connected) printer is selected and print test page is selected. The dialog box says that the print queue is full. I went to the queue subdirectory
and deleted all files, no change to the results. The Print spooler is active in task manager. Stopping and restarting the print spooler makes no difference. Any ideas?

I had similar problems with HP Printers on the LAN (after upgrade from Windows 8 tot 8.1
32bit)
HP Laserjet 4000 Laserjet 4050 and Laserjet 4250 - all with Network interface.
Erratic behaviour: inserting blank pages, no duplex printing, programs stalling when printing etc…
Printers and network are fully functional and work perfectly with W7 and XP. Not with Windows 8.1.
Strange thing: Epson Aculaser and Ricoh Aficio 3224 worked fine but those were installed after the Windows update.
So definitely something with the Microsoft drivers for the HP Laserjet printers.
After a few installs and uninstalls of the HP printer drivers the problems stayed.
Then I removed all HP related driver files (C:\\Windows\\system32\\spool\\PRINTERS")
and all references in the Register because the standard uninstall of the drivers did not remove all files.
-> First uninstall ALL HP printers (laserjet, deskjet, officejet etc ..)
-> Then look in
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows NT x86\Drivers]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows NT x86\Print Processors]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers]
Make a backup of the registry keys and then remove all files starting with hp….
Remove the print processors starting with hp
(i.e. hpzpplhn.exe)
Then restart your system.
Reinstall the printers, they should be OK now.
If you still have duplex printing problems : replace the hpzpplhm print processor with the winprint processor. (may give other limitations, google for more info).
In my case this solved the erratic printing problems.

System wide PDF presets location is not working in CC

On both Mac and PC, the system wide location for PDF settings (.joboptions) does not work anymore.
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings (on a Mac)
It is illogical to remove this feature. Even if that folder does not store the main default presets, which are now stored in each application, it still needs to be looked at and loaded from. It's actually illogical to store the same preset in multiple locations (i.e. each application). If there is a preset that is only for a certain application (e.g. Illustrator Default), this could be put in the application folder, but all others like High Quality, Prepress, PDF/X should be in a central location, i.e. where they used to be.
I know that each user can manually load into their own PDF presets, which then do appear in all suite apps, but this has to be done every time a new user logs into a computer.
The central location meant that all suite apps would see a custom set of presets automatically across the entire suite and across multiple versions of the suite. The other advantage to the central location is that the presets would appear in square brackets, in other words read only, so they cannot be changed by the user without saving as a new file.
Having users manually load and be able to change the presets kind of defeats the purpose of having a preset, certainly in our environment, where we need these settings to be consistent across all apps, all computers and all users.
Please put this feature back or at least honour the central location that used to be used.

Hi,
As per the description, I understand that your Office 2013 cannot open files through a network share directly.
I would like to know that how many clients/users are affected by this in your environment. It could be some specific user account settings, that the Office applications are being affected by.
I'd first suggest you try with a new Windows user profile, then verify result.

Adobe Reader XI and Adobe Reader X Pro (Editable PDF Combobox Search is not working properly.)

I have created Editable PDF using itext(5.3.0) in java. I have used Adobe Reader XI and Adobe Reader X Pro. But in editable PDF combobox search is not working properly.
It's only search first character.

My (admittedly old and slow) system did this too the first time I opened Reader 11, but it "unfroze" after about fifteen seconds, (an eternity in computing time, I know, but it did eventually open all the way) What you're seeing on the right is the "Tools" panel initializing. That's exactly where mine would freeze up on starting. Once it did finally open fully, I clicked the "Tools" link at the top to close the panel, and I opened and viewed a document that way, then closed reader. Now when I open Reader, the Tools panel doesn't initialize and it opens immediately.
Reboot and before you open anything else, open Reader. When you open it, DO NOT try to do anything with it until it fully opens, don't click anything, don't try to switch to another app. Give it time to open fully, and then click the Tools link to close it. Then, open and view a document, and close it. Close Reader and reopen it. the Tools panel should remain closed and Reader should open fully immediately.

PSE 11 - MacOX 10.7.5 Printing Wide Format Printer and Profiles Not Working Correctly

Macosx 10.7.5
When I start up PSE11 and go to print I set up the paper size then select a Printer Profile. When print the image it is a mess and seem to be black and white it is as if I printed on the wrong side of the paper.
I then go and try to print it again.   Now it all works as it should beutiful colours and spot on. all other print following this works.
Then I shut down PSE11.   Start it up again. Guess what first print is a mess again.   all others after are fine.
I uninstalled PSE11, deleted prefs. and reinstalled PSE11.    Same thing..   first print a mess all others ok.
the issue can be replicated consistantly......
no problems with PSE10 or PSE9
any suggestions?????
cheers elo

Thank You for your suggestions.
I have been printing using PSE for over 14 years going back before the term PSE came up. I have done this professionally using profiles from others and those I generate myself..
All the things you mentioned have been done.
The main point missing in your suggestions is   It is only the first print every time I open up PSE11 that does not work...
at completion of print I immediately go back to the file command and say print and then bypass all settings and print again.   this time and every other print aafter are perfect...      I did not change one single setting...
I know about printer and adobe settings etc.     but thanks for going through the list it was a good reminder of how to remember everything sometimes we rush and forget something...
Finally    It works PSE6, PSE9, PSE10, CS5, Lightroom 4.   I think I have the settings right......
Any suggestions for how to get PSE11 to force the settings for the first print would be appreciated..
Only thing I have not done is upgrade to the latest version of the epson driver. Released less than a month ago to provide support for mountain lion.(iam only on lion) Maybe just maybe???   you never know.   Will try this when I finish by next batch of prints.
I will back up as I do weekly...    Still have the old driver from way back in release 10.5.8   will try to fire up to 10.5.8 and see what happens....

Since installing Yosemite, Airplay with Freebox not working
With Maverick Airplay working well

If you haven't done so already, try resetting the printing system.
OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system also Yosemite
Try deleting the printer and scanner and add them back.
Also try Applications/Image Capture to see if it can find the printer and scanner.
