"Printing: Error while printing" when I tries to Save - How?

Since recently, whenever I tried to save a Pages document, Pages freezes for a few minutes, then show me a system message that says "Printing: Error while printing". I did not ask Pages to print anything! Please advice. Thank you very much.

You have not provided exact system info, no details about your documents, your save locations nor even told us what version of PS, so nobody can even begin to guess.

  • PDF export from Pages fails "Print - error while printing"

    Every month I have been generating PDF versions of my invoices by using the 'export' function of Pages. This has always worked fine without any problems.
    Today (end of Feb 08), the pdf export function always fails with 'Print - error while printing". A pdf file is saved to disc but it is corrupted and unreadable. I can still export as rtfd.
    I don't see anything about this in the logs, but I do notice that there was a Pages software update to 3.0.2 earlier this month.
    Anybody know how to fix this?

    Hello
    Before re-installing, it may be useful to
    a - repair permissions with Disk Utility
    b - trash the preferences file: <bootVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Pages.plis t
    if it's not sufficient, try to print from an other user account.
    If it works this way, you will know that the application's files are not the wrongdoers as every account calls the same application file.

  • Can't Print "Error while printing."

    Suddenly I can't print.
    When I try, I get the warning: "Error while printing."
    I also get this same warning if I try to create a PDF, or Preview.
    The printer (HP 6890xi) has been working fine in all applications and is able to print a test page from the HP printer utility.
    Drivers are fine (I think), but I replaced them anyway.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    John

    I had four documents open in OmniOutliner Pro, and did a CMD-P on each of them in turn. The first two printed, and the second two did not, without an error message. Since then, I get an "Error while printing" message in OmniOutliner Pro, whether I attempt to print to the printer or save to a PDF; Adobe Reader will not print, and does not display an error message, and Firefox fails to print with an "Unknown error occurred while printing" message. I have run repair disk permissions on my startup volume, followed the Printer Troubleshooting guide on the Apple Support page, including updating printer drivers, I have verified that the CUPS software sees the printer, the printer can print a test page, and have used Printer Utility to Reset the printing. Nothing has changed.
    Now what?

  • Safari won't print: "Error while printing" message

    Recently updated to Safari 6.2, on on 2012 Mac Pro, OSX 10.8.5. Tried to print a page from Amazon, and received "Error while printing" message. I then have to force quit Safari. I am able to print from Indesign, OpenOffice, and the same Amazon page from Chrome with no problem, so the problem seems to lie with Safari.
    I ran Disk Warrior, and rebuilt permissions, but the problem persists.
    I am reluctant to call Apple and be told that I have to reinstall system software, this seems related to my recent software update of Safari.
    Could use some suggestions here if anyone knows what the problem might be.

    It might be the Safari cache or cookies in Safari in you want to try ..
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
    Click:  Remove All Website Data
    No open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that didn't help, try troubleshooting extensions.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

  • Mountain Lion Printing - Error While Printing

    Recently my Xserve running mountion lion OSX 10.8.3 gave me an errror while trying to print. Have provided a photo to help.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Select "/var/log/cups/error_log" from the file list on the left side of the Console window. If you don't see that list, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the time of the last failed printing attempt. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.

  • "error while printing" when saving

    A really odd thing started happening today: when I hit Apple + S to save a document, it first pops up the save progress box, but after a few seconds a 2nd box appears with a mesage saying "Print. error while printing."
    I'm just trying to save, not to print. Any ideas what's going on?

    on the wife's g4 powerbook, added a network-shared printer, attempts to print to it result in:

  • Error while printing (while saving?)

    Whenever I try to save my book I always get the error:
    Print
    Error while printing.
    However, I'm not trying to print, I'm trying to SAVE.  From what I can tell the file is saving just fine, however I hope that there is nothing actually wrong with the file for when I go to hit "publish"
    Anybody else run into this and solve it?  Should I worry?

    Maybe there is an extension or OS widget that's acting up...
    'save' is for an .iba file - 'publish' is for an .ibooks file. I don't think you'll have issues, but you'll know when you try

  • When trying to export a pages document, it say error while printing....

    When trying to export a pages document, it says 'error while printing' when I want to save as PDF. I used to be able to do it but for some random reason it won't let me anymore. Even when the printer is not plugged in or turned on it says it. Is there a setting I can change? Does anyone know how to fix as i can't email any documents and I don't know what else to do. Please help its driving me crazy.....

    thank you, I can't print or save any old pages documents. I will create a new one and see if that helps. I have tried from the print dialog but it says the same thing. I will try something in another application. Could it have been when I updated pages? I only recently got broadband so did a heap of updates that were a bit overdue.

  • "Error while printing" when sharing printer under 10.6

    This just started yesterday. When attempting to print from either of two other computers (both 10.4.11) to a printer (HP LJ 1160) connected via USB to a MacBook Pro (10.6.2), the print fails with the cryptic error message: "Error while printing."
    I have searched these help forums and have tried repairing permissions on all computers. I have also verified that the /tmp symbolic link is in place on all computers.
    I have also tried resetting the print systems on all computers. I am able to add the shared printer on the client computers, but when attempting to print to the selected shared printer I still get the error.
    The Console on the client computer generates the following items in the log:
    2010-01-18 08:59:49.452 TextEdit[423] PMSessionValidatePrintSettings failed (error code = -50)

  • Printing Problem Pages- When printing, once I have confirmed the printing settings, the Proccessing Page Hangs, and then Pages begins to freeze, and then says Error While Printing.

    Hi there, I wonder if you can help me,
    When printing, on Pages 09, once I have confirmed the printing settings, the Proccessing Page Hangs, and then Pages begins to freeze, and then says Error While Printing. ScreenShots are below.
    Thanks for your help, in advance.
    Then......(after it has frozen, for about 2mins).....
    Cheers!

    IS
    Do you have the same problem with printing from other apps, such as TextEdit? Have you looked at your printer's control panel to see if an error condition is displayed there, and if so, what is it?

  • "Print Error Whilst Printing" when trying to print or save as PDF

    I don't understand why i can't just print - everytime it says Print error whilst printing whether i'm actually trying to save it or print it. I'm very new to using Macs - 3 days now so not used to how they work yet but i'm running Tiger 10.4.8 on an Intel Mac if anyone can help me please!

    Hello Dorin and thank you for your answer.
    Yes page 5 is a double page spread and this is not the only one in my book! I will modify the page 5 to see if the error message will appear at the next double page spread....
    Thanks again

  • "Error while printing." over network

    I am trying to print from a mac mini running 10.4.11 to a printer on a macbook pro running 10.5.3. The printer is using the Laserjet 4 Gutenprint driver. When I connect the printer directly to the mac mini, everything works fine. I can use the PDF export options on the print dialog just fine. When I try to print over the network "Processing..." flashes up and I immediately get "Error while printing." I have tried resetting the print queue on both machines, (turning sharing off and on) rebooting, deleting and installing the printer on either machine multiple times. I've repaired permissions on both machines and the cups error_log gives me literally no information when that message pops up. Help!?

    I've also noticed that while the network printer is selected, I can't use the preview feature in the print dialogue, nor do the PDF features work. I get the same "Processing..." then "Error while printing." In addition, with the network printer selected, when I try to print from page 1 to 1 of a multipage document it tells me "Error: Invalid Page Range. The number is out of range. Resetting back to last known valid entry." it resets it to 1 to 1 and gives me the same error if I click print.

  • "Error while printing" error in Address Book

    When I attempt to print a list of address book contacts in Address Book.app (both as a PDF or to a printer), I receive an error message simply stating "Error while printing." I've repaired my permissions and tried deleting the preferences for Address Book. How can I fix this and print out the list?

    After discovering that my problem was more general (affecting the whole system, and not just Address Book), I looked in the Printer forum here in the discussions and referred to this one:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1264657&#1264657
    I attempted to do as one user suggested and replace the 'libConverter.dylib' file. It did not work, and I returned the original 'libConverter.dylib' file to its folder. Magically, printing works now. Seems like it just needed to reset itself.

  • "Save As PDF" in Safari only Results in "Error While Printing"

    Hi, first time poster. I searched through the forum and didn't find anything like my problem specifically on topic. I still Hope this isn't being redundant with anything else that has been posted.
    Problem:
    When I go to Print->Save as PDF the normal dialogue comes up without a problem. Its when I click on the save button that I an error saying "Error While Printing" pops up. Pulling up the console nets me with the following:

    *What I've Tried*
    I haven't had any luck with the solutions others have posted online (like Little Snitch being a culprit) when I've searched for either the "Save As PDF", "Error While Printing", or the console log error. I've run the printer reset function in system preferences and I've never had any printer installed on the system.
    I should note that prior to any of these problems with Safari, I installed the Firefox 3 RC1. I've since uninstalled it, because I was suspicious of it having an effect (being a little buggy as an RC). Removing it with AppCleaner hasn't changed the problem.
    Thanks all,

    I could print/save as .pdf until I did my latest software upgrade. Now I get "error while printing", and have been unable to find a solution. this is quite a problem for me, because I do a lot of research on the Web and have saved my results for years in pdf. Have you found a solution?
