  • Adobe PDF won't print non-working time colour in MS Project

    Adobe PDF won't print the colour chosen for non-working times in MS Project.  I have tried changing the colour, changing the style, moving non-working time in front of tasks and have fiddled with the printer properties, all to no avail.  It ignores whatever style I have for non-working time and makes a blank space, although it will take gridline changes . . . . please help!

    Thank you for providing the suggestion and the Cleanup tools, however they did not help.
    I ran each version of the cleanup tool, and for each I had it clean up Reader and Acrobat (i.e. 4 separate cleanup operations).  I then rebooted the machine, and installed Reader 11.0.3.
    Still had the same behavior:  Reader will not print.  I tried printing to a second printer (that is attached via USB)...and it did not work either.  I also tried printing to a Cute PDF Writer print driver...and that did not work either.  In each case, no print data made it to the Windows print queue (as demonstrated by watching the queue while printing.)  No error was raised, but no print data was transmitted.
    I then uninstalled Reader 11.0.3, rebooted, and re-installed Reader 9:  printing works fine now.
    There is definitely something in Reader 10 and Reader 11 that breaks printing in some environments.    (As you alluded to...I have seen a number of postings online about printing problems in Reader.)
    More details about my environment:
    Windows 7 Professional N (Version 6.1, Build 7601: Service Pack 1)
    VMWare virtual machine
    Two virtual CPUs (each: Intel Core i7 920 @ 2.67 GHz, 2673 Mhz, 1 core, 1 Logicial Processor)
    Hardware Abstraction Layer:  6.1.7601.17514
    RAM:  3096 (allocated to virtual machine)
    Bridged networking
    VMware host:
    Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-bit 6.1.7601, Service Pack 1
    18 Gig RAM
    Intel Core i7 CPU 920 @2.67 GHz
    VMWare Workstation 9.0.2 build-1031769
    (but problem existed on older version of VMWare Workstation 7.x as well)

  • InDesign doc exported to PDF won't print

    I'm experiencing issues with an exported PDF from InDesign. More specifically, when I export the InDesign doc to a PDF and try to print, I don't have any issues, nor does anyone else in my office, however some of the people that I'm sending the document to are experiencing trouble printing it. They get to 44% flattened and then the printing process slows down, and then once it reaches 50% they get a pop-up window saying that the document can't print and the whole thing stops. They can print the first page by just selecting that page, however the second page cannot be printed this way. I have re-exported the PDF several times and these folks having the issues have cleared their browser cache, re-downloaded the document, saved it to their desktop before opening, and tried renaming the document as well.
    What's going on here, and what can I do or tell them to do to fix this?
    Also, updating their Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat does not solve the problem.

    Hi, I was just wondering if you got the problem resolved. I'm asking because we are experiencing kind of the same issue in our office. Our Marketing Manager is using Adobe InDesign and exports her documents to PDF. These PDFs won't print in any of our printers in the office. It spools and then gets stuck and it actually makes our HP Coloured Laser Printer throw an error (error 79) and we'll have to restart the printer due to this error. We can print other documents and other PDFs in the printer so we know it's not a printer driver issue. In fact, we have isolated the problem to only PDFs exported from InDesign. Even if we create a blank document from InDesign and export it to PDF it still won't print. Really odd. We would appreciate if you could share your solution if you were able to fix the issue. Thanks!!

  • Macbook pro won't print in colour

    I have a HP Photsmart printer hooked up to my macbook pro which won't print in colour. I have printed a diagnostic page which has colour so the issue is not the printer.
    I have tried printing different files ie from word, pdf docs, safari etc with no luck. In the print pop-up box I have output selected as COLOR and in system preferences > print & fax I can't find any options that seem relevant. I assume there is something very simple I have missed but I am flummoxed. Any help greatly appreciated.
    thanks.

    sorted. was a driver issue, in settings>print fax>options and supplies under driver tab - i had it auto selecting. just hit the pull down menu, selected other and picked my printer from the options.
    hey presto.

  • PDF won't print properly - some letters squeezed together

    Using a Mac and Reader 9 and two different laser printers (Canon and Brother). PDF won’t print text properly. Some letters are jammed / squeezed together. Last week I used Mac’s Preview Program / App to bypass the PDF print menu to get it to print the PDF properly but no luck today. How to fix?

    Printing as an image fixed the letter-jamming thing, thanks Michael. A new problem though.
    This is a 16 page booklet printed on 8.5x11. Each page is set at 5.5x8.5. I have made two PDF files:
    1) 16 individual pages 5.5x8.5 in portrait mode and
    2) 8 pages 8.5x11 in landscape mode with one page of the booklet on each half of the page (properly formatted to create a 16 page booklet). 
    The problem in using either one of these files are these:
    1) When I use the 16 individual page file and make a booklet under the print menu, it shrinks the combined pages to less than 8.5x11.
    2) When I try to print the 8 page file of an already formatted booklet, the image is the right size but the back of each sheet is printed upside-down.
    How do I fix either one of these problems, preferably both? All suggestions welcome.

  • PDFs won't print (Lion and HP laserjet 1300)

    I just upgraded to Lion and pdfs won't print. It doesn't appear to be the printer driver, because the printer works with others apps. Any suggestions? It's an HP Laserjet 1300. Yes, it's old, but still works, well, sometimes. just not with pdfs.

    Hi Andreais,
    I found some useful tips on the HP forum as well. Maybe it is helpful in your case as well: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Mac-Printing-and-Scanning/HPDesignjet-130NR-no-long er-prints-PDF-properly/m-p/768507/highlight/true#M18877

  • PDFs won't print on new HP printer

    I recently added a HP CM1415fnw printer in my office and I cannot print any PDF documents. Word and Excel print fine. Why?

    Happily, Windows 7 is in and everything seems to work fine. I have to
    navigate around my desktop a bit differently, but everything seems to be
    compatible. I especially have to work now with printing Word docs to PDF.
    I'll get there...

  • Acrobat X PDF Won't Print

    I installed Acrobat X the other day.
    Today, I tried printing a PDF document, but it won't print.
    When I click OK, I get an error message that reads: document cannot print, then another message that reads no pages were selected.
    If I click on printer, and select print from there, nothing happens.

    pleasure: if you open the file in Acrobat Pro and save as, that sometimes does the trick as well. (if it does then its a better solution)

  • PDF won't print beyond a certain page.

    I have sent a 52 page pdf to a client created in Adobe InDesign. They have tried printing it, and it won't print beyond page 23, on multiple printers. I am able to print all pages at home, so I don't know if the problem is somewhere in the pdf's setup, or the clients printers. Has anyone run into this issue before? Thank you for any suggestions.

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * Open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

  • Laserjet 200 won't print in colour

    I have had the printer for just over a year and it has worked perfectly.
    I have just replace three of the cartridges as they had run out and it will not only print in back and white (or 50 shade of grey).
    All the cartridges are full and I can't work out how to get it to print in colour again.
    Any help very much appreciated.
    David

    Hi @DavidRhodes ,
    I see that you are having issues printing in color after replacing 3 toners. I would like to help you.
    Try and print a hardware self test on the printer to find out if it is a hardware or software issue.
    On the printer, go to Setup, Reports Menu, Supplies Status or Demo Page.
    Did the self tests print in color?
    If it is a hardware issue, please try the steps in this document. Troubleshooting Print Quality Issues.
    Are you using Genuine HP Toner?
    If the issue is software related, please try the following steps:
    Repair the Disk Permissions on the Mac:
    Close all applications.
    On the Apple menu bar, click Go, click Applications and then click Utilities.
    Double-click Disk Utility.
    Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left.
    Click Verify and then Repair Disk Permissions.
    Restart the computer..
    Reset the Printing System:
    Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
    Click the Apple icon and then click System Preferences.
    Click Printers & Scanners.
    Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left white side panel, then click Reset printing system.
    Click OK to confirm the reset.
    Type the correct Name and Password.
    Click OK to reset the printing system.
    Then click the + sign to add the driver, highlight the printer. (you might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name) Then click on the Add button.
    Try printing in color again.
    If you need further assistance, just let me know.
    Have a nice day!
    Thank You.

  • PDFs Won't Print

    I can't print PDFs to my Brother printer. I get the error message /usr/libexed/cups/filter/pstoraster failed. Please help! I am running OSX 10.6.8.

    I can print everything but pdf files. I have had this problem with an older Brother printer (model MFC 7840W) but I didn't deal with it because I had an old OKI color printer that I was using as my primary printer and it had no problems. The OKI died last week and we got a new Brother MFC-9970CDW. Now I can't print pdfs to either printer.
    My default for opening PDFs is Acrobat 9 Pro v 9.4.6. I also use this to modify PDF files and to create forms so changing to Preview or another way of opening the files is not a good option.
    I know other people are having this issue but I have not been able to find a good solution in any of the threads I have read online.
    Thanks for your help!

  • PDF won't print to Epson 545

    PDFs (Adobe Reader 10.1.4) will not print to my Epson 545 from my Mac (OS 10.6.8). Other apps print fine, only Adobe won't, and it provides a printer error "err number 13", which seems to mean there is no paper (there is paper tho' - lots). I've followed instructions from other threads for other Epson models but to no avail. Any one got a solution? Thanks.

    You're Welcome Gari!
    The driver on the disc may be outdated. Did you uninstall the older driver before trying to install the newer, downloaded one?
    If nothing else resolves the problem, and you need help doing that, I can post the instructions.
    "...stating that there is not enough RAM."
    OS X uses Dynamic Memory Allocation, so I am puzzled that you are getting that message.
    What is the exact error message?
    How much of the RAM is original, and how much is added?
    Is Classic running when you are trying to print?
    Do the printers function from any applications, other than Photoshop?
    You can also use Rember to test your RAM.
    "My ibook is more than happy to print to both printers..."
    Are you printing from Photoshop with the iBook?
    Have you deleted the printers from the Printer List in Printer Setup Utility, and then re-added them?
    Have you trashed the printer & Photoshop pref files from:
    HD > Users > Your Account > Library > Preferences: HERE?
    Sorry for all of the questions. I'm just trying to explore all of the possibilities, to get a better understanding of the situation.

  • PDF won't print in Preview but OK with Adobe Reader

    Periodically (and rarely) I run into a problem where an application yields a PDF for printing, is submitted to the print queue of my Laserwriter 16/600 PS, and instead of printing, the following message pops up briefly before the job is wiped out:
    the process "cgpdftops" terminated unexpectedly on signal 6
    The same problem occurs if I choose to preview the output first, in which case the job is submitted by Preview, and that yields the same result.  However, I open the same PDF document using Adobe Reader, it prints fine.
    Any thoughts?

    On the Print dialog under Page Sizing & Handling, did you try Fit or Shrink oversized pages?
