Problem printing eps files

Every time we try to print a document or file with our logo embedded in eps form, it just gets stuck somewhere on the way to the printer - it never arrives, the printer jams up, and nothing can get printed until we turn printeroff and clear the jam. Not sure if this is a mac problem with eps files, or a printer problem. Any ideas? Lucy

Please explain step by step what exactly you're doing and show some screenshots/photos .

Problem printing Illustrator files, and PDFs containing Illustrator files

I have encountered weird problem with differenf Adobe file formats. Here are the files I had problems with
1. opening PSD / JPEG files which had placed or embedded Illustrator graphs/ charts.
2. printing PDFs from an InDesign file which had a placed or embedded Illustrator (eps) file
3. printing original Illustrator files, or PDFs saved from the original Illustrator files.
Initially I thought that the problem with with my external drive, where I had versions of the InDesign and PSD files stored. But then I tried removing Illustrations from PSD and Indesign files and they printed without any problems.
Some illustrations are created in the Illustrator itself, others were downloaded from a stock photography site.
Please help me figure out what is the problem.
Thanks,
Marina

Hi Jacob,
I will find out re Post Script driver.
The printing window shows that I am connected to the printer (it's a network office printer) and that the document is printing, but nothing really happens. Meanwhile none of my colleagues can print anything because my file freezes the printer (if this is possible).
It sometimes says "client-error-not possible"
And below is the error message that i see when i try to open some of the Illustrator files (this one contained graphs and charts). It does open the file, however, and i can even edit it. But, both, a PSD and a JPEG file that contain graaphs from the Illustrator file below fails to open on my colleagues computer.
I forgot to say that I work on a Mac.
I am wondering whether the files are damaged, or the Illustrator needs to be reinstalled.

How do I fix a problem with .eps files not showing up properly in icon view

Actually my .eps files are not showing properly in any of the views but icon view is most important to me. I am using OSX.8.5 on a mac mini and mac book air. Almost all of my .eps files are conversions of .wmf files converted to .eps by WMF Converter software. All of these files used to be on a PC running windows Vista using ST Thumbnails explorer to be able to view thumbnails. For background info: I had to use a program to view the WMF files becasue hackers could put viruses into the thumbnail for WMF fies so instead of fixing the problem Microsoft disabled the thumbnail view for all WMF files.
A few of my .eps files are conversions of files created in CorelDraw 3x and converted to .eps in CorelDraw 3x. Both types of .eps files misbehave the same.
I downloaded one .eps file today from the internet to see if it would misbehave the same way (it does).
Here is the problem: After a reboot when I first view a folder that contains .eps files in icon view I can see the file contents fine. If I use the resize slider at the bottom of the window or resize the window itself then some or all of my .eps files revert to displaying the "generic icon" of a Loupe with a picture behind it. If i can manage to put the resize slider to exactly where it was then my icons display the file contents as they did before I messed with the slider. There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to when an icon will display as the file contents or when the generic icon comes up. In some folders all the icons display correctly at the smallest icon size and in other folders the icons may display correctly or as only generic or a mix of generic and file contents. Icons to files that came from the same source will not necessarily display the same way. Icons to files that came from the same source and were converted by WMF Converter at the same minute do not necessarily display the same way. If I display "info" for the files sometimes the previev pane of the info box will display the generic icon or sometimes it will show the file contents. If I take an .eps icon that displays properly and drop it into a folder where all .eps icons are displayed as generic then that icon displays generic. When I move that same icon out of that folder then it will display properly. Icon view, list view, column view and cover flow view all display differently with no discernable pattern. Sometimes I can see file contents in column view and not icon view. Sometimes in cover flow and not in icon view. It makes no difference if I have a handful of .eps files in a folder or hundereds of files in a folder. After an undetermined amount of time the icons might display properly again or maybe not.
What I have done so far: exhaustive search of the internet did not find anyone else with the same issue. I checked and fixed all disk permission errors that disk utilities would fix. I know that icon view and quick look are two different things, but, I did however, download and install an eps quicklook plugin that did not seem to make a difference for my issue. BTW Quick look sometimes works and sometimes not (no discernable pattern to this behavior either). I tried the cnet download fix for quicklook just for grins. It had me force QL to reload plugins and it's cache then I cleared out the QL configuration files. This did not seem to make a difference in the behavior of icon view or Quicklook. The only two things I have found to be consistant are 1) The "open with preview" always works but I know this is different because this preview actually generates a pdf view of the file. 2) When the icon does display the file contents it always displays correctly.
When you read this please be mindful of: I am a Microsoft refugee not yet familiar with the Apple world so you may have to tell me how to do "simple" things. I have no idea what is the difference between a "thumbnail" or a "preview" or the behind the scenes way that apple generates the icon appearance for the 4 different views.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I tried to insert a screen shot but got an error message when I did it.

Was the error number really 0XE8....

Problems opening EPS-files in Illustrator CS5.1

I have problems opening some EPS-files that I downloaded from Shutterstock. Their support person told me to contact your support. I’m using Illustrator CS5.1 on a PC. When I try to open the files Illustrator's suddenly not responding and I have to close the program to continue.

Hi Lotta,
Will it be possible for you to share with me any one of the EPS file with which AI is crashing ?
Thanks & Regards,

Problem opening EPS file

Hi I have been sent an EPS file. I am running on Adobe CS6 Illustrator. When I go to open this file it says I can't open it becuse it was created in a newer version of software than I have. Does anyone know a way around this so that I can open the file?
Sue.

Once again , Thank you for solving my problems. It has worked well- No clipping masks. Couldn't get sender to re send in other version as it came via third party. Didn't have access to original supplier.
Thank you.

Problem attaching eps-files

When I attach an eps-file in Mail, PC users frequently can't see my file. If I compress it, it's no problem. And it only happens with eps-files.
My solution is to open Entourage to resend it, but it seems stupid...
And it happens on different Macs

I tried it on my machine. Same problem. I think the mac is trying to display the file and not having any luck somehow. Anyway, it's a bug.
Apple - Mac OS X - Feedback
Besides the zip workaround, one can also convert the file to PDF, then attach it. To convert it to PDF, open it in Preview, then export it.

Problems printing to file in LR4

I am trying to print a jpg to file in LR4. All the settings in the print module seem to be correct an I have done this before. I am print (to file) a 20X16 print at at 240 ppi sharpening = standard paper = glossy
jpg quality = 100% . Printing to a Costco profile and intent = perceptual.
When I click print (to desktop) process bar comes up and very quickly progresses. The "print" appears on the desktop as an icon and not a thumbnail. It will not open. When I look at the file info: it is 15,763,189 bytes and has a dimension of 0 x 0 (?).
I have tried this with several different files and get the same result.
What am I missing?
Thanks CJR

The fact that you are producing an extremely large jpg may mean that your Cell Size setting is much bigger than 20x16. Try adjusting your Cell Size to something closer to 20x16.
I used a Costco profile and produced a good jpg using your parameters. If the above suggestion does not work, try using another profile to see if your profile is corrupt.

Need fast help... problem with .eps files

So I'm in a bind helping my company put out T-Shirts...
We need things in .eps format. I'm the one who has some design experience so I've been doing it. What we need though is the design to be saved on a transparent background so when it's imported into our T shirt program, it doesn't maintain the square from the artboard.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong.. any guidance?

Eps files generally have no background.
Are you certain here isn't just a white square or something in the file?
Or.. is there a drop shadow or outer glow applied? These effects will cause a background because of the transparency. Because an EPS is a flat file format, the best you can do is put a box matching the background color you want behind the shadow/glow, then save as EPS. Or remove the effect.

Problem caching EPS files with multiple forms

I'm attempting to use multiple forms for caching 1 or more EPS Files in a postscript document. I've followed Technical Note #5144 to the letter and use the "array of strings" method since I have to support Postscript level 2 printers. The arrays appear to be loaded with strings representing the EPS as expected.
If I use only a single form with 1 EPS it works great. I can execute the form anywhere on the page as many times as I want. If I add a 2nd form to the page it causes strange behavior. The 2nd form is drawn regardless of if I execute it or not. Even if I comment out ALL execform calls it still shows the 2nd form (the page should be blank).
I've boiled down the code to a faily simple example. I took out all the binary EPSF content for each form and instead have each form draw a circle.
If working write this postscript should be drawing a smiley face using 4 circles.
Should look something like this:
0 0
0
<> <--- This should show like a stretched out circle.
However, the mouth is actually drawn very small down in the lower left hand corner of the page. If you change the order of the forms definition then the mouth is drawn correctly but not the eyes and nose.
The forms as named EPSForm-Circle and EPSForm-Circle2

Problems printing old files after downloading Adobe 11

I cannot get my pdf files to print after downloading Adobe Reader 11. I had 9 & now every time I want to print it takes me to the Save As.. file & wants me to save as .pm file. It won't even let me save as a new pdf file saying the file is corrupted. Help!

I took it back to Adobe reader 9 & now my pdf files say there's no pages to print even though I can see them in the file. I did have print tyo file checked so I took it off & it still can't read any pages.

Problem printing landscape files to postscript

This is a recent issue, starting when I got a completely new machine and a fresh install of Acrobat Pro 9.12 (WinXP).
When printing to landscape oriented documents to postscript (using any driver), the resulting PDF has a normal first page (turned to portrait) but all subsequent pages are scaled down to thumbnail size (on the correct size page, though) and are flipped as though they were negatives.
I've attached a mocked-up file to illustrate the problem.

Just to add one interesting tidbit: So after printing the first presentation in Landscape - which always comes out wrong as described above - I go ahead and print out that one again and some others which all turn out fine. However, if I then go to print a regular report in Portrait and change the print settings accordingly, lo-and-behold the first page is flipped in Landscape mode with the rest of the document in Portrait as I want it.
So it seems to be the act of changing the orientation of the document that causes the first one printed to come out bad.

Problem rasterizing EPS files...dimensions reduced

I have some Illustrator files (17" x 16") that I need to convert to 1-bit TIFF files at 2400 dpi. Illustrator apparently can't export them at that resolution, so I saved them as EPS and opened them in Photoshop. The file dimensions appeared correct in the dialog box, and I changed the settings to 2400 dpi grayscale. Rasterization seemed to work without problem, but I later discovered that Photoshop had reduced the file dimensions by about 25%...without any warning or error!
I worked around the problem by creating the correct file size in Photoshop and pasting the Illustrator art into the file.
Anybody know if this is a limitation in Photoshop, or did it do this because of a lack of RAM, etc.?
Using CS5 on a MacPro with 10.6.3

Thanks.
I just discovered that if I save the file as an Illustrator native file, the PDF importer in Photoshop will warn that the file dimensions will be reduced. The EPS importer needs to be fixed so that it gives the same warning.
