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

  • 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!!

  • 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.

  • 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)

  • 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.''
    Please report back with your report.

  • PDF won't print out

    I have windows 7 and adobe xi. I can't print out a pdf. It won't go to the printer. I tried downloading it and then opening but still won't print.

    No error messages; just wont go to the printer?
    Try 'Print as Image' (Advanced button on Print panel).

  • How can I/Is it possible to silently print a PDF with specific print settings and obtaining the resulting job id (in windows at least)?

    Greetings,
    I have a specific application for Windows I'm developing where I need to silently print a PDF to a real printer.  The trick is I need to set specific printing preferences ... such as color/monochrome, # of copies, page size / source tray, etc.   The printer is always set to spool documents, and it is key that I know the job id (even if its already done printing) of the resulting print job.
    With windows APIs mixed in, I would imagine something like ...
    OpenPrinter(printername)
    StartDocPrinter(...)
    -----> some SDK call to print the document based on the handles I pass it...or perhaps one page at a time after I call StartPagePrinter()
    EndDocPrinter(...)
    ClosePrinter()
    I've been searching for something for days that would give me this sort of control, but I've been finding the documentation very difficult to find on silently printing a PDF through any means other than a command line which doesn't appear to give me the information or control I need.
    Is this possible with the Adobe SDK? 
    I've seen other posts accomplish this by changing the printing defaults for the printer, and then sending the job silently with a commandline.  This has two problems for me: 1) I still don't know the Job ID of the print job, and 2) I can't rely on the idea that other unrelated print jobs will not be sent while I'm processing the PDF ... making it difficult to use defaults as a means of controlling the settings without causing a lot of side effects.
    Even just a point in the right direction would be a huge help for how I could accomplish this.  
    Thanks a lot,
    Wayne

  • Pages pdf doesn´t print text and effects

    hello,
    I have generated a pdf from my pages document, which looks fine on the screen (also in acrobat). sadly its not possible to print out the pdf properly, the complete text is missing, only the header and the images without effects show up on paper, though acrobat tells me that the fonts are embedded.
    any ideas, work arrounds?
    thanks for your help

    Go to this link: http://ccweb.co.fort-bend.tx.us/imgcache/opr1222653-1-2.pdf
    It is a public document at the county clerk's office.
    I noticed that if I download it in Firefox there is not scaling problem. Also, Firefox is set to automatically download the file to my computer. When using Safari, the pdf is viewing from within Safari. If you try to print from this view, you'll notice the preview is scaled wrong. Also, if you download to pdf in the print menu, the pdf will exhibit the same scaling problem, but if you download the pdf using save as, it scales correctly. Is this a Safari bug?

  • 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!
