Printing Adobe PDF files through Airport Extreme

I am trying to print Adobe PDF files to my HP5900 through an Airport Extreme. I can print other types of files (ai, eps, qxd) but i am unable to print PDF files. When i hit "print" the rainbow wheel starts spinning and it just gets stuck forcing me to force quit. Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone have ideas for a solution? Thanks
Power Mac G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Have you tried printing the PDF from more than one application (just to eliminate the possibility of an application problem)?

Hp LaserJet 4050n won't print Adobe PDF Files

I have a new Computer with Adobe Reader 8.1 with Windows XP Home. I have a HP 4050n LaserJet printer. I received two Adobe Pdf files in a email today. My first attempt to print them gave me the following error message:
PCL XL error
Subsystem: KERNEL
Error: ILLegalTag
Operator: 0x1
Position: 11005
I then downloaded the latest HP drivers for XP, PCL 6 and it didn't work.
I next downloaded HP driver 4050n 5e.
The first pdf file printed just fine. The Second one printed with letters and symbols running through out the page.
Can anybody tell me how to solve the problem? Is there a special driver needed for my 4050n printer? Am I using the right version of Adobe?
Thanks,
John

I uninstall the HP5e driver and stayed with the Pcl 6 driver. In order to get the pdf files to print I had to go to advance and select images without a back round. Then the file printed out. Seems like a
waste of my time.

Can't find printer connected by ethernet through airport extreme. All I get is a generic error message - I'm using printer IP address as address.

Old imac using snow leopard printed just fine to Ricoh cl2000n printer that is connected to airport extreme via ethernet (as was the imac). New iMac with Lion otherwise same cable configuration and the computer cannot find the printer. It searchs and spits out a generic error message. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Is your printer listed?

If not then you need to get the driver and install it.
Otherwise you may want to reset the printing system.

Trying to connect a second printer (this one wireless) through airport extreme.

I am such a dufus about anything related to setup! Can I have two printers on my network, one connected by a cable and one wirelessly? I just purchased a second printer for my home office so that I can access both printers from my MacBook Air. The second printer is a Brother wireless one, and am trying to do the setup but can't figure out how. I got to the step about the printer needing to "detect which mode - WiFi Protected Setup Mode or AOSS - your access oint/router uses...I pushed the little wireless setup button at the back of airport extreme, but keep getting an error message that says the printer "cannot detect a WLAN access point/router that has WPS or AOSS enabled."

Hello Gee Money. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Chances are pretty good that the signal from the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) down to the MacBook may not be sufficient three floors down.
I suggest downloading a copy of iStumbler. Use iStumbler's Inspector feature (select Edit > Inspector from iStumbler's menu) to determine the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) at different points around your house, by performing a simple RF site survey. Within the Inspector, note the values for "signal" & "noise" at these locations. Start with your MacBook near the AEBSn, note the readings, and then, choose the locations where you will typically use your MacBook to access the Internet ... especially the location three floors below.
SNR is the signal level (in dBm) minus the noise level (in dBm). For example, a signal level of -53dBm measured near an access point and typical noise level of -90dBm yields a SNR of 37dB, a healthy value for wireless LANs.
The SNR, as measured from the MacBook, decreases as the range to the base station increases because of applicable free space loss. Also an increase in RF interference from microwave ovens and cordless phones, which increases the noise level, also decreases SNR.
SNR Guideline
o 40dB+ SNR = Excellent signal
o 25dB to 40dB SNR = Very good signal
o 15dB to 25dB SNR = Low signal
o 10dB to 15dB SNR = Very low signal
o 5dB to 10dB SNR = No signal
If the SNR is 20dB+ at each of these locations, then you should be getting reasonable performance from your AirPort. If less, either try to locate the source of the Wi-Fi interference or try relocating either the base station or the wireless clients until they are within a 20dB SNR range.

you could try using the DDE package to open the file
and then print from the actual file location using a host command.

What You see is not what you get when printing a adobe PDF file

Hi, we use adobe pdf files to send printing of maps to different customers. Quite often a pdf file looks Ok on the screen but printed on paper some lines is crossing the paper which should not be there.
It is easy to reproduce and seems to happen on different computers. Most of them use windows7. If we use another program than adobe for displaying and printing the same file the print is correct.
Is this a bug in print driver or in the Adobe reader which produce the data for the print driver. Most files is created by a thin print solution called UNIPRINT.

The text spacing also frustrates me, but I'm afraid is a drawback of the iWeb system. I always have to go back and re-tweak certain paragraphs that I try to squeeze into a smaller space. I've learned that it's best to allow for a little breathing room with the width and height of the text field. If the text field is exactly the width and height of your paragraph in iWeb, chances are the lines are going to bump down just a hair, creating an extra line of text which will decrease your line spacing if the height is also tight. Does that make sense?
As far as the hyperlinks go, I used to get freaked out because what I thought was the wrong formatting, but what I found out was just the formatting for having visited the linked site.
What iWeb does for those of us who don't know or don't care to mess with html code is an extremely complex process that I can't even begin to understand. And on top of that you add the relative unpredictability of the various browsers and systems that are out there. You have to roll with the punches and figure out these little discrepancies to get the finished product you want.
Good luck!

I can not print a pdf file that was sent in an email. I get the error message that adobe could not

I can not print a pdf file that was sent in an email. I get an adobe error message that it can not print with an ok to check and when i do I get another adobe error message that says I did not select a page to print. I have downloaded the latest adobe download. I forwarded the email to my husband and he printed the document just fine.

This first question which comes to mind is how do you display the pdf file in the browser?
For this the browser uses a plug in (e.g. adobe reader) which already has the ability to print the pdf file. Depending on the version of your plug in, printing is started differently.

Ps: which jdev version do you use?

? Printing a PDF file to Adobe PDF messes up everything

Here are three questions that may be related to each other. I've wanted to ask them for a long time but kept hoping they would somehow resolve themselves. Any advice would be appreciated.
1. When I print a PDF file to Adobe PDF as an image, the black color (even the fonts) becomes gray and blurry. The selection to print as an image is made in Print (to PDF) - Advanced Print Setup - Settings Custom / Print as Image (resolution 600 dpi, which is the highest available choice). This happens regardless of what settings I choose in Print - Properties (Standard, High Quality Print, etc.).
2. Running OCR on occasion does something similar. The letters become blurry and grayish. Everything is more difficult to read after OCR. It's as if Adobe has chosen to substitute the font or color for something blurry. It's strange.
3. Sometimes OCR doesn't make things worse. The quality doesn't deteriorate. In this case I wonder whether the quality should actually improve rather than stay as is. If a letter is recognized despite the fact that its image is not perfect, shouldn't it be substituted in the document by a perfectly solid letter with no defects by using one of the regular Adobe fonts? Should a real font be used instead of an image of the letter that has been recognized in OCR?
Are my settings wrong or am I doing something wrong? I'm using Adobe Acrobat X Pro.
Thanks in advance.

What version of Acrobat? What OS? What are your choices when creating the OCR? Without knowing how you are doing things, it is hard to answer.
It is not clear why you want to create images in a PDF from a current PDF. For a black type style, it is probably better to use a preflight script to convert to gray-scale first and then do your graphic conversion (I am not asking why you want to do this, but just trying to address your question).

My operating system is Windows XP SP3. I have Adobe 11.0.08 installed. I cannot print a pdf file/document. Error message - AeroRd32.exe - Unable To Locate Component - "Application failed to start because lxdautil.dll not found." Any suggestions?

That DLL is part of your printer driver; reinstall or update the device driver for your printer, and the message should go away.

I followed the FAQ troubleshooting and that didn't help

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

Hi,
Which version of Adobe Reader were you using earlier when printing using Dell printed was working fine?

How to print a pdf file of compounds A3 and A4 with adobe mac

how to print a pdf file of compounds A3 and A4 with adobe mac, windows with the option I choose paper source by PDF page size mac but I can not find it. how to get it thank you

I think if you use the start-command, the execution is asynchronously and you won't get the correct process-id. Try to execute Acorbat directly without the cmd /c start in front of it.

I just downloaded adobe reader and can't print a pdf file

i just downloaded adobe reader and cannot print a pdf file.

Same or related issue.
After installing latest updates of Mac Mavericks and Adobe Reader, I can't open pdfs downloaded from the web or print pdfs from the web. Using "export" doesn't help. Same with the print/pdf workaround.
I uninstalled/reinstalled Reader. I indicated Adobe Reader as my default opener for pdf-type files. No help.
I'm using Safari.
