Printing a PDF or should I say can't print a PDF

I can print on my HP CP1025 NW from Word, Excel, etc., via cable or wireless, but when I try to print a mailing label from USPS I get an error message saying that I get a "filter failed" message.  If I am "wired" to the printer the information looks to be sent to the printer, the green ready light begins flashing, but it never prints and appears to time out.  Any ideas???  I have the most current Adobe download.

So what has happened, is my wife went and purchased postage from USPS on her MBP.  The label was downloaded and became a Adobe PDF.  So when we try to print the file She got a filter failed message. 
So, I took the file and emailed it to my MBP and tried to print it.  That is when I get the filter failed message if I am going wireless.  If I use the USB I get the blinking green ready light and nothing, even after 10 min or so nothing.
So as I currently try to print and go to the File/Print and click on the PDF button as you said, when I select Save as PDF I get a "Can't go to File/Save message".  If I pick Preview as PDF I get a "not supported massage".   When I select the Save as Adobe PDF it saves it but still does not print. 
On Printer/Scanner tile says, "Finding Printer", then "Printing - Connected to Printer" and then goes and goes and nothing prints.

    To print directly from your iPad you will need to use AirPrint, and have an AirPrint compatible printer.  Take a look at this link, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356

  • IAhave am iPad 1. I downloaded PrintCentral Pro and also the Bonjour Printer Wizard as prompted. I still can not print. What am I missing?  I am new to this...Please help.  Thank you!

    I have an iPad 1. I downloaded PrintCentral Pro and also the Bonjour Printer Wizard as prompted. I still can not print. What am I missing?  I am new to this...Please help.  Thank you!

    Depending on what you are trying to print you may have to print from within the app.  For example, to print an email or web page you have to open what you want to print from print central pro.  If your printer is not a supported printer there is another app from the same developer that allows you to print from your iPad to your printer via a wired pc.  You may want to drop them an email.  They have pretty good customer service and respond to emails very quickly.

  • Printer suddenly not communicating with laptop and can't print, possibly due to antivirus software?

    All of a sudden I can't print from my laptop, neither wireless or via USB.  I keep getting an error message "printer not responding."  I did the dx/repair and was able to print a test page, but that's it.  Would like to know if it might be due to my antivirus software/firewall?  
    I use Windows 8 on an HP laptop.  Security software is Norton.  This has never happened before and I"ve been using this Norton subscription for at least 8 months, maybe longer. 
    Is there something I can do in the Norton settings to fix this?
    Thanks.

  • Envy5532 - both PC and printer connect to WiFi router/network, but can't print from PC : (

    I have a new Envy 5532 and I want to print from my Windows 7 Pro PC via my wireless network/internet router.
    The PC is connected wirelessly to the internet through the router. The printer connects to the router/network without any problem. The printer also connects DIRECTLY to the PC wirelessly, and I can print from the PC if I disconnect from the router/WiFi network.
    So the router comes up as a network on the PC, and the printer comes up as a different network. But I can only print through the direct connection, which means I can only print, not scan. Also, it means I have to disconnect from the internet in order to print.
    I have run all diagnostics, installed the drivers, etc. but it seems to be a dead end.
    Any advise? Many thanks.

    Hi @DrivenDementet,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I see that you cannot print from your PC to your HP Envy 5532. I am happy to help you with your printing!
    Please see the following guides:
    'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the Printer Does Not Print: Windows 7. (This guide will help you get online and printing).
    Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection. (This guide will help you maintain the connection).
    On top of the guides, I would also recommend this website, HP Wireless Printing Center, as there is some good information on wireless printing.
    it is also very important with wireless printing that the PC and the Printer are on the same wireless network, otherwise they will not be able to talk to each other.
    Hope this information clears things up for you, and have a great day!

  • Data merge with football tickets. Printing causes out of memory errors. Can only print 10 at a time!

    Here's the deal. Printing football tickets for the local high school. 10 tickets per 8.5 x 11 sheet. All black and white. I couldn't data merge into one whole document of tickets because it was failing to do that. So, I end up with 3 documents. First two have 50 pages of tickets and the last has 37 pages.
    When I go to print, I can only print 10 pages at a time or InDesign straight up crashes or I get an "Out of Memory" error which is bull because I've got plenty of ram available (unless it's complaining about lack of HD space for some reason)
    Incredibly frustrating.
    Each ticket has 3 images on it. Two of the images are the same. Those two images are about 103kb .ai files. Very very simple. The other image is a TIFF that is about 76kb. So there are 1000 .ai files / document and 500 TIFFs.
    Here's a video I took of it ripping: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCjvdmXuaYs&feature=c4-overview&list=UUf_1UFp80YLZJfCyIxXEg kg
    Also, when printing, I have the Send Data set to Optimized Subsampling instead of "All". That's not seeming to help.
    Any thoughts?
    IDCS 5.5
    OSX 10.8.4

    I just ran a sample on my laptop.
    AI file, duplicated, is 284k. Image is roughly 200k. The CSV has 2054 records, and the merged document with 10 per page is 250 megabytes. PDF is just under 50 megs.
    This laptop has only 4 gigs memory but has a lot of free disk space. It took a good amount of time to do the merge, a bit longer to create the PDF-X1a PDF.

  • I cannot print envelopes from my laptop.  I can only print envelopes from the host computre on the network.  Why?  What do I need to do?

    I cannot print evnelopes from my laptop on Pages.  I can only print envelopes from the host computer on the network.  What do I need to do to be able to print envelopes from the laptop?

    Not sure what you are saying, what printer? what laptop? what network? what have you tried? but it sounds like you do not have the printer driver for the printer you use, on your laptop.
    Find the make and model and go to their website and look for the Mac Printer software and install it.
    Perhaps you do have it installed but haven't found it. Look down the list next to Printer: in the print dialog.
    I assume you have found the envelope templates in Pages' Template Chooser?

  • HT4356 all of a sudden I cannot air print from my ipad or iphone - I can still print from my laptop - don't know how to fix

    All of a sudden i can no longer air print from my iphone 4S or my ipad 2
    Need help
    I can still air print from my Dell laptop

    Hello rcappel,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when printing from your iPhone and iPad.  I found a couple of resources I recommend for the issue you described.
    First, I recommend following these steps:
    If you are unable to print, or if you see the message "No AirPrint Printers Found"
    Verify that the printer:
    Has power and is turned on. If it has power, turn the printer off and then on again to see if that resolves the issue.
    Is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the iOS device.
    Has the latest firmware version installed.
    Has paper with enough ink or toner installed.
    Is free of any errors displayed on the printer's control panel.
    If necessary, consult the printer documentation or contact the printer vendor for help with the above steps.
    You can find the full article here:
    AirPrint Basics
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
    If you are still having trouble printing after following those steps, I recommend these steps:
    Wi-Fi disconnects, or signal strength is less than expected
    Move closer to the Wi-Fi router (access point).
    Check for sources of potential interference.
    Remove any case, stand, or other accessories from your iOS device and see if signal strength improves.
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Note: This will reset all network settings including: previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords, recently used Bluetooth accessories, VPN and APN settings.

    Please help me. 
    Thanks a lot

    Hi, yes that may be since most all Adobe Programs use Flash Player. You may want to test your browser if you think you don't have Flash Player Installed correctly. When this site opens, you should see the Flash logo animate(spin) and your Flash Player version that you have Installed will be displayed. If that is successful then you have Flash Player Installed correctly

    You can also test here since this site gives more info but no animation:

  • Cannot open .pdf created by InDesign CS6, can open all other .pdfs

    I just got InDesign CS6 at work (I use CC at home, but my company could not afford the CC subscription). I'm on PC with the minimum specs for InDesign and Photoshop Elements (also just installed). I have never been able to print to .pdf from InDesign; the program hangs. I have been doing Export to .pdf, press quality with my printer's specs. This has been working fine, except that, on occasion, I have to export the .pdf a few times to get it to open; it will give me an "either not a supported file or damaged" error message. Up until today, I have been able to export 2-3 times and would always get a .pdf that would open.
    As of today, I cannot open any .pdf at all; I get that same "not supported or damaged" error message. However, if I let my computer sit idle for about 30 minutes, it will open. In addition, after exporting, InDesign hangs on a background task of "Export " 5" and I have to close out of that task to do anything further in the program.
    I have read the forums on these issues and done what I can: I have installed all updates, backsaved to earlier Acrobat versions, exported to .idml, etc. Nothing helps.
    I will confess that I am not the most technically-savvy person by any means. My company is small and does not have an IT person, nor is there a budget for calling someone in, so it is up to me and my admittedly limited understanding of this software to fix this issue.
    Help?

    You may have shown me part of the problem. I can't share one of the files I'm working on, as they're full of images and we have client protections that make sharing problematic, but I did try to recreate a new file with garbage text and graphics and that .pdf opened without any problem.
    Could this be a file size issue? The files I'm working on are only 8,900 kb and 200 kb. That doesn't seem too large to me, but perhaps it's enough to cause a problem on my machine.

  • When viewing a PDF in the Preview app can I show the PDF in the Finder?

    Hi, if I open a PDF in Preview, usually from Safari I cannot then find away of showing the PDF in the Finder.
    Usually with these PDFs, say I have opened a bank statement, I like to 'Move to' and 'Rename', both which I can do from in Preview but I then seem unable to show the PDF in Finder.
    Is there a simple way I am overlooking?
