Print only allows to save as All Files* - will not print .pdf

Had Reader 9, now 10. Received document, saved as .pdf. Attempted to print this .pdf, but when click Print, document needed to be saved again, but was only giving me format as All Files* to save in. Still did not print. Have checked all Printer settings -still won't print. Conflict in 9 and 10? Do I need to somehow reinstall 9 - as that was working?

Vielen Dank -
but why would the advanced tab change as I never had changed that feature in other .pdf s . Is it default with 10?
Usually the printer shows - Print to file, and allows me to change the format, whether as a .docx, .jpeg or .pdf, but that option wasn't available.
Technology is changing too fast for me to catch up and master!!!!

HP Photosmart c4450 prints and scans normal 8.5x11 fine, but will not print 4x6 laminate pictures.

HP Photosmart c4450 prints and scans normal 8.5x11 fine, but will not print 4x6 laminate pictures. Using the printer completely unconnected from a pc or network, using a SSD memory card to print off. As the printer begins the print, the printer prints only about 3/4 of the image, and clips the rest leaving it blank. Within the options, you can see the whole picture on the LCD screen, and selecting the 4x6 print mode it still clips the picture.
Not sure exactly whats going on, the printer was doing this fine for about a year, and just randomly started to print with the image cut off at the beging and ending abruptly at the end only printing half-3/4's. Also using the same memory card, have not tried a different card though. Any ideas?

As far as I know, you cannot scan or perform software-based copying over a Bluetooth connection. Printing is doable. Perhaps that is something that is in the pipe for developement.

PSD files will not print from Photoshop CS4 (previously posted in Acrobat printing and prepress)

My questions are: Does the PSD file have the printer information encoded?
Also why has this just started to show up? My wife has work successfully under the same conditions, files moved and printed on different printers, with no problems in the past.
I (we) have been struggling with a recent problem trying to print PSD files from Photoshop CS4. (Vista 32 bit, Epson 3880 networked) When trying to print certain, but not all, PSD files I get the message: "Before you can perform printer-related tasks such as page setup or printing a document, you need to install a printer." I have been in contact with Adobe support about the issue but with little in the way of positive results. I was referred to a kb link: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/409/kb409119.html Tried all that to no avail. (The first suggestion is absurd to the point of making me wonder what process is used to construct the kbs. You cannot open the print menu when you get this message so....?)
Other solutions are not acceptable for the work my wife is doing, editing high quality photographs for an exhibition with test prints and so on. We are under intense time pressue with four shows coming up in a very short time. The final solution offered is that CS5 has solved all of this. Hum? interesting. No comment except new program, new problems so not a real solution for us.
In searching the web about this problem I have come across many other people with the same problem working from different platforms and even different Adobe products. I noticed that the MAC OS seemed to cause the same problem and that there was a problem with Reader and Acrobat. In every case the problem is never solved by Adobe or anyone else and users find some "workaround". I too have found what we hope is a workaround in our contiued travels on the blogosphere, on flickr http://www.flickr.com/groups/wellington/discuss/72157621548183001/ as "...a nasty, nasty solution" but we skipped the flatten part and the GIMP part and resave the PSD under a different name.
Adobe does seem supportive but not that interested (CS4 right) but I would like to find a real solution and I think many people would benefit from it.
Anyway what I have found is that the PSD files that will not print have been printed on another printer at some time in the past. In my case the Printer was an Epson Artisan A50. The printer we are using now is the Epson Stylus Pro 3880. Even when trying to print wirelessly to the 3880 from the laptop (Was Vista, now Windows 7) that was used to edit and print with the A50, (USB connection) we saw the same error. So it seems that the printer information is somehow embedded in the PSD file (also mentioned in a Blog) and is keeping PS from seeing the printer because the same printer is not there.
Has anybody already found the fix?
I know this is a long post but I have been working on this problem and have heard all of the pat and frankly useless answers and workarounds. Can we find a solution and fix the problem?

Just a few examples, since you ask:

Photosmart 6520 e Windows 7 printer says it is connected to network, but will not print.

I've followed all suggestions in troubleshooting both from manual and on line. Shut off firewall, unplugged, plugged waited. Nothing changes. All printouts from the printer say connected, but will not print and computer detection of the printer says cannot be located. Help!!

File will not print, just hangs acrobat

Hi all.
As usual a deadline is looming and my lovely document created in indesign is now exported to pdf and ready to print.
However when I try to print all that happens it it endlessly sits their spinning, with no print.
Because acrobat does not 'crash' I cannot asertain what has caused it too happen.
Any ideas what I can do, its really important I get this 100 page document printed 5 times very soon!

was the file originally created from MS Word?
And does the Word document have section Breaks?
If so Adobe/MS have a long standing bug that has been around since Acrobat 1 and Office 4.2. Acrobat can't figure out MS Word's Section Breaks.
Up until Word 2008 they had a Problem with Page Breaks when Miicrsoft came up with there own word to PDF Converter. Both blame apple which is downright silly because Up until version Acrobat 5.5 and word XL they worked on OS9 and lower which written in either Objective-C or C++ And the printing system had nothing to do with PDF. So that arguement is down right silly. Micrsoft is so paranoid about its code beeing stolen they refuse to allow companies such Adobe see the code. If they could I feel the problems would be fixed with 6 months. But sadly we are talking about a 15 year old problem, no one refuses to fix.
what it does instead of jumping to a new section, or new Page, it create a new pdf file. You can tell if this is the problem by open printer item in the Dock whil it printing. If this is the case you will see a series of PDF's in the Print Cue.
Another problem could be that your Printer doesn't have enough memory it it is a Postscript printer many can have memory added to them.

PDF file will not print text properly in Acrobat 9.5.0 and OS X 10.6.8

I have been having trouble printing PDF files from Acrobat ever since I upgraded from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8. I have read many posts about the issue having arisen for other people in 10.6.7 and 10.6.8 although it did not seem to be a problem in 10.6.6. However, I have yet to find a permanent solution to this issue. Specifically, I am printing to an Epson Stylus Pro 4000 via LPD. I think my issue revolves around the Open Type issue that people have been discussing in OS 10.6.8, since I have two identical files other than the font encoding. The one with Type 1 PS fonts prints fine, the other with fonts converted to CID does not. Both files make it to the printer, but only the Type 1 file prints the fonts properly. The CID version has all the font characters on a line stack up on top of each other to the left side of the page. Any help would be appreciated. I hoped the upgrade to 9.5.0 would help, but it does not. And yes, the file prints fine in Preview, as well as if I check the option to print page as image. But I don't want to rasterize my page, I'd like it to print as it should. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

PDF file will not print out Special Characters

I am currently a technician for a college and, and the customer that I am attending currently has the following Problem:
I am using Adobe PRO 9 to convert my Word files to pdfs for [a New York Printing Company].... The Greek letters used in Word are seen in Word, are seen in PDF, but do not come out in ...[the New York Printing Companies'] printing.
What could be the stubling block for the NY printing company to not be able to print out the Special Characters in the PDF files? I clearly cannot go to the company myself and tell them to change their printer settings or something like that.

Thank you, I have checked the font and I see all the fonts I need already installed. I am not sure if this will solve the problem, and there is a chance that the Adobe Acrobat settings on my customers PC need to be adjusted like you said.
At least I can start looking somewhere .

Trying to print from my iMac to a Cannon MG5320 will not print. Started having problem when new Wifi router??? was installed Cisco. Keep getting A Communication Error

Problems printing form iMac to Cannon MG 5320. Just had new Cisco router installed and problem started. Keep getting communication error

To address this problem, I suggest that you do a complete reinstall and setup of the printer as if it were brand new. It is preferable to do this from the original CDs that came with the printer. I think the printer has to set up again to connect to the new router.
The Canon web site has for this printer a "mini-master setup" file you can download that has the same setup program that came on the CDs.

C309A PRINTER GIVES FALSE "OUT OF PAPER" MESSAGE AND WILL NOT PRINT WHEN TRYING TO PRINT ENVELOPES

When trying to print an envelope, I get an error message - "out of paper" and cannot proceed.

Hi novalani,
This could be as simple as dirty feed rollers but could require servicing in the end. See this article for feed problems. Give the steps a shot and let us know if it helps.

PDFs will not print on HP All-In-One C309a

PDF files and only PDF files will not print on my HP Photosmart Premium All-In-One C309a. I can not print PDFs that are online or that are on my hard-drive. I sometimes use the 'print to XPS file utility' and then open and print the XPS file with no problem.
When I try to print a PDF file, the printer makes all the noises it makes when printing normally, but does not print. The viewing winding says "Now Printing", a piece of paper cues up, the audio cue plays meaning job completed and eventually a blank piece of paper comes out.
I am using Windows XP with Service Pack 3.

Is your printer still in warranty? You can check with HP's warranty tool here.
The printheads in the Photosmart 6510 are not removable. I will ask to have an HP support agent to look in on this thread, they may be able to suggest some further troubleshooting.

HP C6150 All-In-One Will Not Print Black Text But Does Partial Test Print

Hi. Thanks in advance for any help anyone can proffer.
I've read through the forum and I think there are some similar issues, but none exactly the same as ours.
This HP C6150 does print pictures, but suddenly stopped printing black text.
HOWEVER, the test prints will print in black with the Windows Logo, but will not print any associated text.
Odd. It just suddenly stopped printing.
Variables:
C6150 All in One - No other problems for two years.
Using refilled ink cartridges from outside source. (not my decision)
Ink is full. No other changes made in last three days.
Troubleshooting Steps:
Uninstalled and then re-installed software in entirety.
Put in 'new' (refilled) cartridge for black and magenta.
Tried (not sure if successful) soft reset.
Tried cleaning the print cartridge with 'Q-Tip' and distilled water.
Have not yet spent money on new OEM print cartridges. That is next step unless other suggestions merit.
Possibilities:
It may be the refilled cartridges, but they've worked so well in the past.
The cartridge prior to the recent replacement was working fine and was not yet out of ink.
The print head might be damaged. But this should/would affect all black printing and this is not the case.
Were the driver corrupt, the reinstall should have fixed it ... you'd think.
So, we're looking for some suggestions prior to going out and getting a new printer.
Thanks again, in advance, for constructive non-judgmental suggestions.
MackNC

The likely cause is the black ink is not printing at all. When printing graphics (like the Windows Test Page) black is made from mixing the color ink. I would suggest printing an internal diagnostic test page as shown in this page. Does the black block print? If not then clean the printheads as described here.

Officejet Pro 8600 - Macbook Pro and Macbook Air will not print

Products:
HP Officejet Pro 8600
Macbook Pro (Mac OS X, Version 10.7.5)
Macbook Air (OS X, Version 10.8.2)
Question:
Why did my Macs initially print fine, but now will not print at all?
Full Story:
I have a wireless network at my house that consisted of a 30mb cable internet, Netgear 900n, HP Officejet Pro 8600, 2 Dell Laptops with Windows 7, a Lenovo Laptop with Windows 7, and Dell Tower with Windows 7 - All printed just fine.
The HP Officejet 8600 was added to my network about 2 months ago.
I added a Macbook Pro and a Macbook Air about 3 weeks ago. Both Macs printed just fine for about a week. Then suddenly they stopped. I spent about 2 hours on the phone with HP Service, and they finally said it must be my router. So I called Netgear. Netgear was useless! They wanted me to agree to charges for services before they would even discuss the issue.
Due to information provided by HP's service support, and because Netgear will not support their product, I promptly purchased a new router - an Apple Airport Extreme.
The Macs recognize the printer, will print if hardwired via a USB cable, but will not print wirelessly to the Officejet Pro 8600. The PCs print fine.
The frustration that is being felt is compound by the fact that the Macs printed just fine with the Officejet Pro 8600 2 weeks ago, and now the printer just shows "idle"... even with a new router. (see image below)
Please help, I appreciate any support.
As a side note, the HP Service rep was very friendly, and definitely tried to support the HP Product, which is much more than I can say about Netgear.
Thank you,
This question was solved.

Hi,
More likely the issue related with Multicast, which Apple devices relies on to communicate with teh device through the network.
First try unplugging the router for 30 seconds.
Plug it back to the power and wait for 2-3 minutes.
Turn the HP printer Off and back On, then check for any difference.
If the same persists, try changing your router configuration as following
Note: the settings below are not related with the HP product, I provide you the steps as a best effor and those are only based on my own knowledge. you may try modifying the router settings at your own risk:
Open the router configuration page (can be found listed as the Default Gateway by clicking the Wireless icon on the printer, then print a network configuration report.
Click the Advanced tab.
Click the Setup option from the menu, then click on WAN Setup.
Make sure to uncheck the box next to Disable IGMP Proxying and Apply the changes.
Click the LAN Setup on the same Setup menu.
Set the RIP Version as RIP-2 and Apply the changes.
Reboot your router and then check for any change.
I hope you may find that information useful, you may also use the user guide below for further information:

Officejet Pro L7590 will not print in black

I have an All in One Officejet Pro L7590. When I first got the printer 3 months ago, everything was printing perfectly. Now, out of nowhere, it will not print in black. It only prints in color. I have done all the aligning, printhead cleaning, changing cartridges, etc. I am at a loss as to what to do. Has anyone had this problem with this model? Can anyone help? Thank you.

Thank you so much for responding. After (3) HP printers all having the same difficulty and support not knowing what the problem was, (also many hours with Support) I determined it was the printheads also. The printheads don't seem to last very long and can be more costly than the printer itself if you have to keep replacing them. I changed over to a laser jet. No printheads needed. And I have not had any problems so far. Just need to replace the ink cartridges when they run out. I have the HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni.
