PDF Virtual Printer Queue has doc print errors but PDF's created

This has probably been answered already somewhere here, but I can't seem to find a current solution.
I am using Windows 7 64bit Pro and Acrobat X Pro. When printing to a PDF from any source - word, excel, email, the PDF is created correctly, but my PDF Printer Queue shows a document print error and leaves the doc in the queue.
This wasn't happening before so I am not sure if it's a known issue that an update has fixed or something else. If there is another thread that has the answer, let me know. Or a link to the fix would be great! Thanks.

Hi, try instead: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/set-default-printer-print-center.html
It works for current OS versions. If other dialogs appear, continue to add the printer.
The printer will be called localhost. Select it to print from eTax and choose the option to " Print to pdf"
Directions previous were to go to the manufacturers site, not the Apple site for the install, but its ok, link above is a better alternative.
Apologies….
Cheers

Acrobat Pro 8 Print queue error, but pdf is created fine...

I'm running xp pro, and acrobat pro 8, every time I try to print a pdf, I get an error with the print queue although it still makes a pdf every time! I've tried the repair tool in acrobat and also uninstall/reinstall but I get the same deal every time.
Its more an annoyance than anything as I still get the pdf files but I'm thinking something must be wrong to throw up an error every single time!
Any help would be good :)

Alternatively, look at using digital signatures and the security
policies. This method ensures that only the person with the matching
certificate can open the file and have specific options ...
It would involve swapping digital ID files but once set-up, it's very
powerful ... just uses Acrobat 8 and even Reader ..

Printing to Adobe PDF - non-existant print queue or hanging up error

When printing to a pdf, the process is getting stuck in the printing/saving part of the process. As the attached image will show, the pop-up window shows the file name in the Document Name list, but it defaults to the file entitled "06-2013 Newsletter" (my apologies for all the black scribbles; they're there for privacy's sake). I am unable to select the name of the file I'm printing (in this case, "Combined"); it would appear that the pdf is trying to save into a file that already exists. I thought that perhaps the print queue needed to be cleared, but under Devices and Printers, "See what's printing" for the Adobe PDF printer shows nothing in the queue. The task then comes to a standstill and I am unable to continue.
After researching the issue, the only advice I can find is to do a "hard delete" of everything printing or spooling on my server to hopefully "force out" the stuck jobs, but this is not really an option during a busy workday when multiple jobs are printing at any given time. Is there a more simple solution that I am missing?

Well, after restarting my machine the print queue was cleared of all the dead jobs, but when attempting to print to PDF it hung up again, and then did the same as before - all subsequent jobs tried to save as the filename of the first job in the queue. Very annoying!

Cannot migrate users print queues to new print server

I am needing to move the print queues on users computers to a new print server that I have set up by I am not able to do so. I have over 200 users at the office. I am thinking it is a problem getting to run it on the clients, but not sure where it is failing...
To start... I have moved the print queues from Server 2003 to Server 2008 R2. The machines are both 64 bit. I was able to export the drivers and the print queues to the new server using the print migrate tool. The names of the printers are the same on both...
The names of the print servers are different. I added a print queue to a test client and was able to print to it without a problem mapped to the new server, so that's not the problem.
What I can't do is use the script (see below) to remap the clients to the new server. I have tried and configured the script as a user log on script, configured a group policy and placed my test user in the OU. Rebooted the machine, logged
on with the test account but the print queues stay the same. I have even tried to run the script locally but still no joy... it runs but the queues stay the same. I used RSOP and see that the script is being applied... I am running Windows 7 Professional.
I really need to get this resolved as the server is being decommissioned within the month.

Hi,
àI added a print
queue to a test client and was able to print to it without a problem mapped to the new server, so that's not the problem.
àWhat I can't
do is use the script (see below) to remap the clients to the new server.
Based on your description, I understand that you have moved print queues to new print server via print migrate
tool successfully. However, when use this script (Remap Printer Connections) to re-map Printer Connections, the script seems to not be ran as expected. Meanwhile,
I noticed that you had ran the script locally. Did you find any error when ran this script?
On current situation, this issue seems to be more related to this Remap Printer Connections script. I suggest
that you would post it in
Official Scripting Guys Forum. I believe we will get a better assistance there.
If anything I misunderstand or any update, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

Envelope in print queue will not print.

Envelope on print queue will not print. other documents print ok.
I tried "RESTART" of the document to no avail.
problem started after I ran the utility to clean the rollers because envelope would not feed. In the past this has worked fine.
I can print regular documents, just not envelopes.
Tried, power down/power up. Tried reboot.

hp 3915. vista 32 "print queue issue" and i have to clear print queue and redo print. I think it may be a driver issue. Is there a driver for 3915 using Vista. Mine says only 2000 and XP. Thanks.

Hi there ken4863,
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!

Printer queue has decided to not show up anymore

Used to be when I print something the printer queue window would appear and list everything in the queue. Not only does that not happen anymore, but also when I go into the printer & fax preferences, and hit 'print queue', nothing happens at all.
A similar thing happens with my bluetooth thing. I turn on the bluetooth to try and transfer files, but when I hit 'send file' nothing happens.
I haven't added any software or anything in a long time, other than keeping up with general Mac software updates.
Any ideas?

Hi Willy, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

How can I create more than one printer queue for a printer

I would like to have more than one "default" setting for my printer. This is so I can use a 3rd party print utility (fingerprint) to print to a non-airprint printer from my ipad. The utility prints using the default configuration. I don't need to get fancy here. Just "draft B&W' , "normal", and "Color best quality". If I need something else, I can always email the document to my MacBook. The utility has something about a virtual printer, but all I could find about that is that it is used for PDF printing and maybe a workflow.
My technology level: Used to be a programmer, after a decade of retirement, I can't even program an applescript today.

Take a look at this add-on.

ITunes has encountered an error but quicktime isnt broken

Ok so everytime I try to open iTunes i get a message that says "itunes has encountered an error and needs to close. sorry for the inconvenience" but my quicktime opens with no problem.
soo my dad said i shouldnt make a new account unless i absolutely have to.. so i havent ahhahh but his account is an administrative account and the iTunes opens in his account no problem, but of course all my songs and ipod stuff is on my account.
Tell me if you still need me to make the new account and I will.
Thanks for your help

hi Cecelia!
(warning in advance, this is experimental territory.)
hmmmmm. okay, sometimes with these weirder "open in one account but not in the other" errors, the problem is to do with registry permission settings. it can sometimes be a bear to track down which particular settings need to be checked. the Stejskal family (who couldn't get either itunes or QT to launch in some of their accounts) managed to get itunes and quicktime working in all the accounts by editing permissions in the following way:
http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=810602
the trick for me was getting up the nerve to "fiddle" with the registry...the reason why the girls could not get access to iTunes/QT was down to permission...once I got one going I went back in to HKEY-MACHINE\SOFTWARE\apple computer, inc\Quicktime...click to highlight go to edit, permission and added the missing girls to the list of who is allowed...made sure they have full permission..apply, ok and "bobs your uncle" all is now well in stejskal home.
since in your case (unlike the stejskals) QT is actually launching in your account, the relevant permissions may actually be fine for QT, but not for itunes. so some investigation of the actual registry permissions on your PC may be required. it might be wise to start by comparing and contrasting the permissions in QT and the permissions in itunes, for example.
(probably something that you should get your father to experiment with, though, if he's the only person with an administrator account on that PC.)
if no joy with that, let's try experimenting to see if itunes will open in a new user account for you.
keep us posted.

Thanks for sharing your tips on this forum, as it will be useful for other users, that run into this issue.
Feedback like this will also help us improve error reporting in the next release, as missing class files in the packaged application is a common issue when developers are moving from the embeded oc4j instance packaged with JDewveloper to standalone instances.

My canon printer 8000s has a hardware error

I had my canon large printer 8000s without printing for a year,
Wen I decided to start using it it gave me a multisensor error, I changed some empty cartridges and the error dissapeared,
Now I have a new problem, the mechanism to feed the paer does not work at all, it does not move the paper an inch, the printer then shows a paper feed error and I get the hardware 03130031-2f16 error.
Please help.... What can I do now?

HT204135 My computer is connected to my Epson printer but for some reason it will not print, it has a wifi connection but is not connecting for some reason, what can I do to resolve this matter?.

My printer is not connecting with my computer via Wi-Fi, want can I do to fix this problem?.

Exactly what is going on with my Epson XP 810. I will reset my modem and it will print one or two pages and then say "Searching for printer" and it will never find it unless I reset the modem. Was working fine last week so I don't know what changed.

Acrobat pro 9 has a stop error when trying to create a portfoloi

I have a problem with Acrobat pro 9 whenever I try to combine pdfs into a portfolio. The program stops with an error that acrobat has encountered a problem with authplay.dll and cant continue.
I have reinstalled the program many times, cleaned out the registry, applied all updates but the problem remains. I was using acrobat pro 8 previously without any problems.
I put in a support request to Adobe and tried everything they suggested still without success. Now Adobe wont respond to my support requests.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem or know of a work around?
If I can not fix it soon I will have to reinstall Acrobat pro 8 as the portfolio function is one I need to use very regularly.
It is beginning to look like I have wasted my money on pro 9 and Adobe does not seem to care at all. I will not even bother to try and get my money back and write it off to experience.
I don't think I will be wasting my money on Adobe products in the future.
Thanks for any help

I read through the pdf wth your emails to/from customer support. I'll have to defer to someone else because it seems you have tried what I would suggest.
If someone else does not respond with a better plan and you are willing to spend a bit more time before writing off Acrobat 9, I would try the process below one last time. (If you are using a CS suite, while authplay.dll is found in each of the directories, it does not appear that the issue extends to the other programs.)
1. Using Add/Remove Programs, uninstall all Adobe Acrobat and Reader software and uninstall the Adobe Flash Player Active X and Adobe Flash Player Plugin. If you have it, uninstall Adobe Air.
2. In C:\Documents and Settings\(your profile name)\Application Data\Adobe, delete the Acrobat and Adobe PDF folders if they still exist.
3. Reinstall only Acrobat 9.
4. From Acrobat, run the updater Help > Check for Updates and install all updates.
5. Verify Adobe Acrobat is now version 9.2: Help > About Adobe Acrobat Pro (If for any reason it is not 9.2, use the update on http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows
6. Test

While searching for a solution, I just saw your post over at acrobatusers.com (http://www.acrobatusers.com/forums/aucbb/viewtopic.php?id=15765). Looks like my advice was largely a duplicate, although your event log indicates Acrobat did not update properly.
