Printer and printer-scanner isn't recognised by Acrobat 7.1 Professional, though it is by Reader

I'm running Acrobat 7.1 Professional with latest updates, on a WinXP system (SP3). Printer-scanner is a Brother 420CN and a laser printer HL 2040. Neither is recognised by Acrobat, although I can print to them from Reader (latest version) and any other program. This failure to recognise printer occurred failry recently, possibly after a recent update to Acrobat? I've tried "Detect and repair", but it appears to not run. (A dialogue screen flashes and disappears too fast to read) I've reinstalled Acrobat using the msi file in the Acrobat folder. Nothing has made any diference - still no printer!
In print set-up or print, a dialogue box asks "Before you can perform printer related taks, such as print set-up or printing a document, you need to install a printer. Do you want to install a printer now?". On selecting "Yes" another box opens stating that "Operation could not be completed. The print spooler service is not running" However on checking component services, print spooler is running! I've checked this both before and after going through this dialogue.
I was unable to reinstall Acrobat over the present installation using the opriginal CD as it recognised the installed (and updated) Acrobat as being of a later version than the version on the CD, and I didn't want to uninstall and then reinstall as I wanted to keep the document history. (Is history in a file that I can copy and keep during an install, or is it not deleted during uninstall?)
Has anyone else faced and solved this printing problem? Has anyone any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for your advice

  • How do i set up the eprint from my blackberry so i can send emails to my printer and print them off

    how do i set up eprint on my blackberry so i can send emails from my phone to the printer and print off

     Hi Tanya_Carroll,
    You can follow this link to set up ePrint. 
    http://h71028.www7.hp.com/hho/us/en/ep/articles/setting-up-mobile-printing.html
    Once ePrint is setup, you can send an email to the printer's email address.
    Be sure to use one of these email clients when sending to the printer.  If the Blackberry will not send using your original email address, setup a new email account on the Blackberry and try again.

  • AirPlay won't recognize printer and print although HPprint app does

    My iPad will not print from AirPlay and shows no printer on my wifi network from AirPlay. However,  I can print from my HPprint app and the app recognizes my printer on my wifi network. Any suggestions to get AirPlay to recognize the printer and print?

    Maybe not on the approved list even though the app recognizes it?

  • Slow Print and Print Setup command in Reader Ver. 8.1.2

    Print and print setup command take over 30 seconds to load on Reader ver. 8.1.2. I tried ver 6 and same thing happens. Using the print shortcut and same thing happens.
    System: New Dell computer (Windows XP Pro, SP2). Any advice would greatly be appreciated.

    You are not alone. Same problem here on a brand new computer with 2GB of RAM. Three minutes total to print a small, black and white 1 bit, 15 page pdf file. Previous to 8.1.2 (8.1.1) the same version printer drivers (Xerox Phaser 8860 Series) worked fine (both PS and PCL versions). I've been trolling for a fix this morning - so far nothing.

  • Can I hook up my ipad to a printer and print with it?

    I work in a rural area where we can only get satelite internet. We want to start printing orders here and I know there is an app for printing, however we do not have a wireless printer, Do we need to buy one or can I use the charging cord my Ipad came with and hook it up with the USB to my existing printer and print that way? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Tiffany

    You'll need a printer that is compatible to AirPrint, see this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
    You can't use the cord to connect.
    There are apps inn the app store that let you print over the Internet, without having an AirPrint compatible printer.

    i Also wanted to ask if my printer can be attached to a BT home hub.

  • Please help me buy a printer and a scanner.

    Hello:
    I am in hope that I could please have some opinions regarding purchasing a new printer as well as a scanner. I have done research, however I have read these forums and marvel at the great deal of hardware expertise that emanates from so many posters. I have only owned one printer, an ancient Canon bubble jet that no longer works.
    My system: Mac Pro 2 x 3.0 GHz Dual-Core with an Apple Cinema Display; software: Adobe CS3 Design Premium and MS Office 2004; OS: Tiger 10.4.11.
    This purchase is not for use in some busy design studio. Everything would be for my sole use in my small Manhattan apartment.
    I would like something that prints my Photoshop and Illustrator files very well along with good photo reproduction. I will be doing brochures in InDesign with insertion of Photoshop and Illustrator artwork as well as some PowerPoint slides. I need something that prints text well also. It would be great to have a printer with which I could print my business cards (as well as brochures) utilizing a somewhat heavy weight paper.
    I was initially tempted to get one of those all-in-one machines, however, I rarely have to fax or copy anything. It seems to me that if I want to copy something, I could just scan it into my computer and then print it. Regarding faxing, I am assuming that I could also scan and then fax utilizing the fax software that comes with the Mac OS (hopefully the software worksnever tried it). I could get an HP all-in-one on sale for as little as $150.
    Another printer that I was considering is the Epson Stylus Photo RX680 (again an all-in-one). Macworld gave it 4.5 mice. I find myself sort of dismayed with its having an LCD display and photo retouching software that I obviously dont need. The cheapest price I have seen for that is around $130 (maybe). I tend to be a little skeptical about these online prices until I actually make the purchase. The scanner has an optical resolution of 1200 with 9600 x 9600 interpolated (not sure as to what interpolated means in this case).
    I find myself more drawn to the Epson Stylus 1400. This was recommended to me by Epson pre-sales support, however I dont feel cynical about the suggestion.
    As far as Epson goes, what would be more of a fantasy printer for me is the Epson Stylus R1900 (cheapest price I found is around $500). What particularly strikes me about this one is that it can print on paper with a heavy weight. That would be great for my business cards and brochures. While for me it is a little high in price, I am still considering it.
    Another possibility that I have looked at is the Canon Pixme Pro 9000. This was an Editors Choice with PC Magazine website. I found a decent price with a rebate. The review says that it would be a good choice for graphic artists.
    I find it confusing as far as the difference between a so-called photo printer and an inkjet printer. According to the Epson guy, it does not seem to matter.
    For a scanner, the Epson person recommended the Epson Perfection V500 ($169 w/customer loyalty). It has a 6400 x 9600 dpi resolution. While I dont know much, this seems to be good enough for me, both for capability and price. I have read some good reviews of it.
    Thank you to all who would care to comment on any printer or scanner options. I find myself almost dizzy by all of the possibilities and I am open to any suggestions and any manufacturer. I am without a printer and I hope to make a purchase with the next few days.
    Also, thank you to all who simply bothered to read this very long posting.
    James

    I want to thank everyone for taking the time to respond to my posting. (Of course, as I write this, I am hoping that you will be back to read this.)
    I agree about avoiding the all-in-ones. As I wrote before, that is something that I was initially consideringmainly because of my problem with space. All I have is this old non-functioning bubble jet that came with my first computer (an almost 9 year old but still working, rarely used anymore PC). So, anything that I get will be absolutely glorious.
    Regarding printers and with your help, I have now narrowed the possibilities to the Epson Stylus R1900 Photo Printer and the Canon Pixma Pro 9000. Both have eight color tanks and are able to print on paper with a heavier weight. I am still considering the Epson Stylus Photo 1400, but not as much. The more that I think about this, the more I feel that maybe I should do something nice for myself and buy something that I would really enjoy using. I did some looking into low priced lasers such as a Lexmark and a Brother, but I really dont know what to make of them. I do know that the price of toner for color lasers is very high.
    My background has been mostly from doing freelance work in various advertising agencies and design studios. Consequently, the printing was really never up to me, so my knowledge of color management, paper types, and printing is limited. I feel that finally getting a good printer would be helpful in my upgrading those skills. Of course, I am without a printer anyway, so I have to buy something. I also want to look into marketing myself. The employment market here in NYC is so saturated that it is ridiculous. I truly wish that I could find somewhere else in the country to go, both for space and peace of mind. But, I digress.
    Both Welles and Allen have a strong difference of opinion about the possibility of clogged jets. Im sure that both gentlemen are being honest regarding their experiences so Im a little confused about the possible problem with jets.
    One of the things that I like about the Epsons is that they have the capability of printing on CDs. I dont believe the Canon is able to do that. As far as price goes, they seem to be somewhat close (Canon might be about $50 cheaper).
    There are a lot of reviews of the Canon 9000 on Amazon and most of the ones that I read (there are 106 reviews!) are glowing, however some complained that even if the product were defective right out of the box, Canon would only send a refurbished replacement. Im not sure as to what to make of that, but it might be something to consider. Also, at least one reviewer did write that Epson is more friendly to Macs regarding color management.
    I am even less sure about scanners. Thank you, Lundberg02 for mentioning VueScan. I never heard of it before, but I did find it on the Apple site. However, I really dont understand about avoiding the V500 because of the 6400 x 9600 resolutionI was under the impression that that was fairly good. Also, I dont understand what you wrote about native resolution being 800 spi. Was that supposed to be 8000 dpi (6400 + 9600/2)? My main experiences with scanning are last minute calls to this huge advertising agency where they had me do tons of scanning. I was so busy that I didnt even pay attention to the machine that I was using, but a safe bet is that it was far more expensive than I could afford.
    Neil, I have started looking at the Canonscan 9905Fit is comparable in price to the Epson V500at least on Amazon. Yours has a resolution of 4800 x 9600 dpi while the Epson has 6400 x 9600. Does it make much of a difference? Also it was helpful that you mentioned about only having to clean the Epson jets if you havent used the printer after a month. That may be the case with menot constantly using the printer and I wondering about the inks simply drying up. That was definitely the case with the Canon bubble jet that I had.
    Again, I guess that I have been too verbose in this posting. But, for me, these purchases are a big decision. Typing is easy for me and words sort of fly.
    I respect each and every one of your opinions and I really do thank all of you. Not just for your help regarding the above, but regarding all of your other postings on these Adobe forums. I envy you in that clearly you love what you are doing with your respective careers. Of course more comments are welcome.
    Thanks.

  • Updation of table after Print and Print-Preview in smartform

    Hi,
    I am having a requirement where i need to print multiple deliveries with the sales order data each delivery on a new page using smartform.
    Now , i am using SSF_OPEN, SSF_CLOSE Fm's for the same. I need to update a Z table after the user clicks on PRINT from the pop-up or print from the print preview screen.
    I tried using the output_info parameter in the smartform where i read from a post that the OUTPUTDONE parameter becomes "X" in the job_output_info when the user clicks print wither in the two ways said before.
    This does not work out in case if the FM'S SSF_OPEN and SSF_CLOSE are used.
    Kindly help me on the same.
    Thanks in advance

    yes i tried that..using the AT new event for a Delivery and then a command to go to the NEW PAGE, but somehow when i execuet the form, i could not see the layout..so in the debug i saw the subrc after the FM is run..it says SUBRC = 2 i.e. internal error. I am not able to figure that out.
    So i had to use these open and close, nowi just want to update a z table if the user clicks on the print button (print preview screen) after using the print preview .
    Kindly suggest.
    Thanks.

  • All of a sudden Very Slow Printing and Print to PDF

    I am running OSX 10.4.11 on A G4. I was having no trouble printing to a HP2500. The time to print or print to a PDF was fast from all my applications. I am focusing on InDesign CS for this discussion. I changed recently to a HP 3600N and also to 10.4.11. Now it takes 1 hour to prepare a 28 page color document for printing. Once job is sent to the printer it takes about 3 minutes to actually print it. The slow rendering of the document also occurs when creating a PDF using the Print dialog. I tried the 2500 as a test and found the same problem. It appears that 10.4.11 is the culprit. I tried the same document on my iMac running an older OSX and I had no problem. I wish I had my back up drive still on 10.4.9 so I could check that out but alas I backed up and now have the 10.4.11 OS mirrored on that drive.
    I am out of business until I can resolve this problem.
    Eagerly awaiting advice!
    Dan

    Drive A is 60 GB with 3.66GB free.
    Running OSX from that drive should really slow it to a Crawl, and is getting to the dangerous point... you need at least 12GB fre, 30 GB would be better.
    Nt certain why the other is so slow... did you open Activity Monitor & observe CPU, Memory & such while it is slow?
    If you can free some space on the Internal, Might give a try with Applejack...
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 5 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.

  • HT3771 How do I get my computer to recognize my printer and print both Windows7 and Safari?

    I added Parallel software to my MacBook Pro 10.6.8.It was printing fine then asked me to connect usb.  I was just choosing esc.  I think I chose connect Windows.  Now won't print some things.  How do I get it to print all things on both sides?  Thanks for your time

    You need to connect your printer to your WiFi router wirelessly - maybe by using the printer's front panel (if it has one) or maybe by using a Windows (usually) PC connected to the printer with a USB cable.
    Once that's done, you can disconnect the USB cable, and print wirelessly.  From your description, I'm not sure you've done this required first step.

Maybe you are looking for
