Printer Won't Recognize InDesign

I have a MacBook Pro using OSX 10.4.11 and the original CS Premium and everything has printed just fine up until a week ago.  Made no changes or upgrades on any software or operating system in the interim, but my printer (HP Photosmart C5280) suddently stopped recognizing any InDesign files. Can print Photoshop files and if I create a PDF out of the InDesign file it will print, but that's not what I want to do, especially when trying to print envelops. Apple tech support tried to help with everything they knew including removing the com.adobe.InDesign.plist file and then rebooting, but nothing.  Also did the "Verify Disk Permissions" check to make sure there wasn't any problems there, still nothing. The test files we used that didn't work were really tiny (just a few words etc.) but still no dice so size of file was not the problem. Tried Adobe Tech Support, but they no longer support CS Premium and so here I am.  Couldn't find anything on the forum list that I haven't tried.  Has anyone else had this problem and solved it or have any further recommendations? I'm not a very technically savvy person, so will have to be lead through any steps one by one.
Thank you very much

Also, the "print master pages" is not checked.  Apple went through most of the possibilities with me, as it would be highly likely that by mistake I might of done something like that, but still nothing.  I'm not sure how to  create a "new user" account (sorry not very experienced at this) but I went through the normal "won't print stuff" drill about Printer selection and setup details.  It prints every other app, just not ID.

  • Printer won't recognize new cartridge

    My printer (All-in-one, 1200 series) won't recognize a new cartridge. 
    When the present one ran out of ink, I purchased a brand new Hp cartridge.  When I installed it, it says E (error) and won't do anything.  Thinking there was something wrong with this crtridge, I purchased another one....same thing.
    I put in the empty cartridge, and it prints, but nothing comes out as it is empty.
    Today, I called HP tech support, and they told me my printer was old and that I need to buy a new one!!!!!
    Some help!
    I didn't have any refill black ink, but I do have colored.  I put blue ink in the empty black cartridge, and it is printing again beautifully.
    Can anyone tell me why the printer won't print with the brand new cartridges????

    Hey Foldy,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    For the printer not recognizing the new ink cartridge that is installed, I have included two documents for you to follow. The first one is 'Check Print Cartridge Light Blinking'. Some of the steps you have already completed, please do the steps that you have not done already.
    The second document is 'The Print Cartridge Detected is the Wrong Type'. Again some of the steps you will have already completed, please complete the steps that you haven't.
    If you are still having the same issue after this, please let me know if the error has changed, and what lights are blinking on the printer.
    Looking forward to your reply.

  • Printer won't recognize custom size paper

    i have a Photosmart Premium C309g that was working fine up until recently. it will not recognize a custom sheet paper that is 3.75" x 9.00. i was able to print 50 wedding invitations for my daughter and when i had to print 25 more the printer does not recognize the paper, i keep getting an error that reads out of paper. if i put a full sheet in the printer it will print. i have also had this issue with trying to print response cards that are 4.00 x 3.75". I have reloaded the HP drivers for this printer, i have bought a new Windows office program and still nothing works. Any ideas would be helpful.

  • My hp wireless deskjet 3050 all in one printer won't recognize my laptop anymore

    When I try to print from my HP Deskjet 3050 wireless printer nothing happens. However, I can print from my desktop which is also wireless with this printer.  It has been fine for months, now all of a sudden it just doesn't seem to recognize my laptop.  When I go to Troubleshoot HP, it says to contact my network administrator.  I don't even know how to do that!!  I know my wireless connection is on because it works with my other computer.  I have tried turning everything off...rebooting everthing....and it still fails.  Please hlep me! I did print a network configuration page which said that no problems were found. Also my router is a Cisco  linksys E1000.

  • Officejet L7680 Printer won't recognize yellow.

    Replace the yellow ink. It now states Replace the following empyt ink cartridge to esume printing - Yellow.
    I put in another brand new one. It seems to be leaking or something, because now that one seems empty???
    Lost and frustrated. Spent a hour on line with HP Support to be told, I should buy a new printer, and would I like him to give me the upgraded options.  All I did was replace the yellow ink, He said the printer isn't reading it. 
    Sooooo....you want me to buy another HP - NOT!

    Hi
    I'm having this same problem so are others mine is also with the yellow ink. I have a post about it too. Sounds like HP needs to fix somethink on the printer as too many of us are having the same issue just replace ink and all of a suned no printer!

  • IMac 10.4.11 printer won't recognize

    I tried to hook up my parent's printer to their hand me down imac running 10.4.11. I downloaded the drivers from hp' site (HP Inkjet 4500) for the older OS but when I go to instal it the printer isn't being recognized to add. I have it connected via USB. I've tried all of the usb ports, restarted both but still nothing. Any thoughts?

    With 10.4 & especially hp SW, it's generally neccasary to Repair Permissions with Disk Utility, then reboot.

  • HP Envy 5530 - computer won't recognize that the printer is on the same network

    Product Name: HP ENVY 5530
    OS: Windows 8.1
    No changes made to system before issue occured
    I bought this wireless printer last week (5-13-14). I have a working printer that was connected to my husband's work laptop via USB cable, but needed one to connect to our family computer, which is in a different room with the modem/router. My husband travels for work, so I want to be able to print without disturbing him and while he is away on business. I turned the printer on and connected it to my network with the password and printed out the network settings and the wireless report. There are about 8 other wireless networks in range of my printer (we're in a residential neighborhood), but we aren't having a problem with it connecting to someone elses stuff. I went online to download the driver software and it downloaded fine. I clicked on the desktop icon to launch the control panel for the printer and it opened up for me to install the printer. I went through every step and it won't recognize the IP address or the name of the printer, and therefore won't open up for me to do any scanning. Both the printer and PC are connected to the same network, but they won't recognize each other when it comes to going through the HP software to scan or print. I can go into word or something to print and it will let me print wirelessly, but it won't do anything from the control panel of the print software because it thinks the printer hasn't been installed. I've had Windows 8 on this computer since I bought it in 2012, but I have the computer defaulted to go to my desktop instead of the start screen, so I don't know if that makes a difference. I am going to go ahead and remove the device and uninstall everything so I can try again later. If I had known this was going to be a problem, I would have not bought the printer and just kept on doing what we'd been doing.

    Hello SarahD_07,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand you are having some troubles getting the Envy 5530 printing wireless on Windows 8.1. Are you able to take the I.P address of the 5530, type it into the address bar of your web browser and hit enter. Does it load a page about the printer?
    Run the Print and Scan Dr to see if it can clear up the scanning issues if you can view that above page.
    I will look out for your reply,

  • Computer won't recognize network printer - HP OJ Pro 8600

    My computer and printer are both connected to the same wireless network, but my computer won't recognize the printer (using the host name, IP address, or otherwise).  It's maddening, because it worked when I first set it up a year ago and just recently stopped - I uninstalled and reinstalled everything.  My iPhone can pick up the printer and print wirelessly, but there's an issue when I try to connect my computer using the HP software.

    Hi @petersaaron , and welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're having issues utilizing your printer from your computer. I would like to the help with that!
    I would recommend starting with a power reset.   Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
    I would then suggest downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • Imac (running 10.8) won't recognize wifi printer

    My imac (running 10.8) won't recognize one (1) of my two (2) epson artisan 810 printers when I try to add it to my wifi in the "print and scan" utility.  The printer that won't connect was previously connected to a PC running Win7.  Could Bonjour have something to do with this?  Any suggestions on how to correct this would be most appreciated.

  • Help! My computer won't recognize my printer!

    I'm a college student, and I have tons of papers and files that I need to print. However, my computer won't recognize my printer. It is working and set up, I plugged it into my roommate's computer (a PC) to see if maybe the USB cable was bad; that wasn't the case.
    I've tried to manually add the printer, but I don't have any Printer folder whatsoever in Utilities. If I go into System & Preferences, Printers & Fax, and try to click on the Set Up Printers button, nothing happens. I'm at the end of my ropes. Please help!
    Also, the .pdf files for a lecture that I need to print aren't working as well; they worked just fine on my roommate's computer, but when I open them with Preview on my iBook, it is just blank. Does anyone know why this is happening?
    Please help me, ASAP! Any advice/anything is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

    need more info:
    what kind of printer is it?
    do have the drivers for it?
    do have the printer setup utility?
    what version of the OS do you have?
    if you have OSX at least, then :
    if you can access the utilities folder, you should be able to find the Printer setup Utility. If you do not have that , the n you need to archive and install :
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
    if you do have the Printer Setup Utility, then
    open that up, it will open a window called " Printer List"
    click on " Add"
    - that will open a window called Printer Browser
    - if the printer is plugged in and powered on, you will see the printer name listed there.
    - select it , then click on " add " in the bottom right
    - if you do not see any printer listed in the printer browser, then try a different usb port and try again.
    - if you are able to add the printer, then try a test print, it should work with a default driver.

  • Reader 9 won't recognize printer

    I just installed Reader 9 on my system (Vista Home Premium), and now I can't print anything because Reader won't recognize my printer. I get this error message whenever I try to print:
    Before you can perform print-related tasks such as page setup or printing a document, you must first install a printer.
    I did not get this kind of behavior from Reader 8, so I must assume there's a major error or bug in the code that's causing this. My printer (an Epson Stylus CX4800) is properly installed and works for all other apps but this one. Has anybody else experienced this on their systems?
    I'm using Reader 9.0.0 for Windows Vista with Vista Home Premium (SP1).

    No good. Did a nozzle check and head cleaning through printer properties while in Reader, and it still refuses to recognize the printer. Not only that, but for some reason it defaults to XPS Document Writer as the main print option at startup, and I can't change that to stay with the Epson instead. This is very puzzling and rather annoying, since I'm now without a print capability until they decide to do a bugfix update.
