Problem printing InDesign (CS4) with MAC OS 10.8.2

I have just upgraded to OS 10.8.2 on my Mac and use Creative Suite CS4. I can no longer print from Illustrator or InDesign, when I go to the print command the applications crash before the dialoge box appears. I am still able to print Photoshop files.

Here the crash report, a bit long I'm afraid:

  • Printing problems with InDesign CS3 with Mac OS 10.6.3

    I am not new to InDesign... I have CS3... but I am brand new to Mac Snow Leopard (OS 10.6.3).  Although I can open CS3 and use the application, I cannot print with it.  None of my other applications has printing issues... just CS3.  Any suggestions?
    Richard

    Hi again Peter
    It is version 5.0.4.  I updated it when I newly installed it a week ago in my new computer, and then again updated it just yesterday.
    I might mention that before I got my new computer, I was running Mac OS 4.11, and was using InDesign 3.0.  I had bought InDesign CS3 about a year ago, but hadn't gotten around to using it since version 3.0 had been working fine, and I was used to it.  Then, when I got my new computer, I decided it was time to use the newer version.  However, while using InDesign 3.0 with the old Mac OS 4.11, a printing problem popped up there, too, a few months ago... and it also involved printing problems with Adobe Reader.  I contacted Adobe, and they sent me a patch which fixed it.  I will contact Adobe again if need be, although I thought I'd start here first to see if it was a common enough problem that someone might be able to provide a free and routine answer.

    I neglected to ask what version of indesign CS3 you are using. I also 
    notice that Mac OSX 10.6.4 has just been released. It actually 
    addresses some CS3-specific issues, though they seem to be related to 
    launching the apps, not printing. It may be worth trying to update, 
    nonetheless.

  • Test: Using Crop marks in indesign CS4 with Epson 3800 Mac 10.5.7

    Jun 19, 2009 9:35 PM
    Crop marks using indesign CS4 with Epson 3800 Mac 10.5.7
    My crop marks and pages are printing larger than my document sizes.  My paper size is 13x19, so I should have crop marks at the exact corners of the page sizes.  But indesign is printing the entire document larger.  So my document which is 11x14.75 is now printing 11.25x15.5.  All my settings are correct. So, is anyone else using an Epson 3800 with CS4 indesign having issues such as the above?  And can I ask (beg) a few of you to do a test print with crop marks and let me know the results?
    My workflow has been completely stalled because I can't get my pages to print the right sizes with the crop marks at the right measurements.  I'm printing a photo portfolio on the Lumijet double sided paper and "when" it did work awhile back sometime several months ago, the finals looked great. I've already reinstalled both the Epson 3800 driver and the Indesign CS4 software, but the results are still the same.
    So, here are my settings:
    document size: 11x14.75
    in the print panel:
    Printer: Epson 3800
    Setup: Paper size: Super A3/B13x19, scale 100% width & height, page position Centered
    Marks & Bleed: Marks: "Crop Marks" checked. offset: 0, weight: .25, Bleed and Slug: Use Document bleed settings, include slug area.  The bleed is 0 for top, bottom, left and right
    Color Management: Document profile: Adobe RGB, Options: Indesign handles colors, Printer Profile: (A custom made profile using Xrite for the 3800 with Lumijet paper)
    The settings on the Epson 3800
    Epson 3800 Printer
    Presets (set for the profile mentioned above)
    No Color management
    Sometimes, on a whim, the printer and indesign cooperate together like good little children should. But not often.  And I can not conclude why they are nice to each other sometimes, but given the same detailed data at other times, they fight.
    If anyone could run through a similar process using indesign with a photo layout and setting up the printer settings for both the Epson 3800 and in the indesign program and let me know their results, I would value your conclusions very much.  You don't even have to waste paper or ink.  Finally, after wasting so many pages of paper and of ink. I deleted the photos from the page, and printed it blank with only the crop marks for me to measure if it was coming out right or not.
    Thank you for any response.  And feel free to call me if you want to vent about Epson 3800's or about Indesign CS4 anytime! I'm up late....  646 256 8853.

    I specified the paper size as strictly 13x19, no boarderless, no retain size.  Same problem.   I also did as you suggested below.  The pdf document does remain true to the document.  As a pdf doc. I changed the color mgmt to Adobe rgb 1998.  It looks okay, but not as lively as I get when printing correctly with my color mgmt working and in sync. 
    Your final question about simply using photoshop.  Well... I might go back to it and give up on Indesign if this is the case that it won't simply crop my documents to the sizes that I input them to be cropped as.  But, I am using Indesign so that I can create a page layout that I can't do in Photoshop.  My folio is about 25 or more pages with double page spreads.  I am printing on a two-sided Lumijet paper and my folio was custom designed to be cut out at 11x14.75.  If and when it is printed correctly, I am printing on both sides of the paper and trimming it to exact size.
    It sounds as if you have exhausted the potential problems and don't have a clear explanation for why the doc isn't printing correctly in Indesign either with the color mgmt. or the document sizes.  I'll try one more print using a different color profile similar enough to get at minimum, an okay print. If it doesn't print at least okay, then it isn't most likely my profile..... Okay done.  Crazy.  The color is inaccurate, but for some reason or another, the document size printed correctly. It measured exactly 11x14.75.  What I have done during this period of time is:
    First) I did as you suggested and turned the Print to Adobe PDF 9 and created a print there. I measured it and it did measure correctly.  I didn't love the color, but... at least it is measuring correctly. 
    Second) I turned the Printer back to Epson 3800 (I'm beginning to think that this simple gesture was what caused the printer to print correctly)  I didn't change any settings, but I did make sure that they were set correctly as before. The paper size was set to 13x19.  When I make sure this setting is right in the "printer" dialogue for the Epson 3800, and then switch back to ID, the printer dialogue in Id changes to "Define by Printer."  But I changed nothing, other than the profile to an older one that I used before. The color is still inaccurate, but at least for two prints just now back to back, the measurements were correct.   What to do? Lol.
    Thanks again for all of your time spent trying to resolve this issue.
    Sincerely,
    Thaddeus

  • Indesign CS4 in Mac 10.6.8, sometimes won't show files, sometimes won't show tools

    Indesign CS4 in Mac 10.6.8, sometimes won't show files, sometimes won't show tools. Like I click to open a file from the finder, and Indesign makes that temporary file in the finder, but won't display the pages. At other times I can have the pages displayed but I can't open the tools such as the colour swatches or the paragraphy styles. This all happens at random, although I suspect it is more likely to happen if I have been working in some other program such as Typestyler or Aperture, and come back to Indesign. Kind of like Indesign gets snooty at me working in another program.
    I've done the thing of dicing the preferences, but so far the only workaround that has worked so far is quitting and restarting the program. I don't remember this happening so much until recently, in other words the problem seems to be getting more frequent.
    But I am wondering if this has happened with anyone else and if there are any other suggestions for avoiding it.
    Back in the good old days you would reinstall PageMaker and that would settle things for a while. But now I don't know if a program like Indesign CS4 actually gets corrupted and if it does I don't know what to do. Does the program get corrupted? And should you reinstall a fresh copy? If it's a good idea to reinstall the program how do you do that? Is it possible to download a fresh copy? And if I do, what happens when the fresh copy phones home? I've tangled with the Adobe Microsoft corporation before when Indesign phoned home and got a crossed line.

    Other things to try:
    Examine your specific version of Optima by going to Type menu > Find Font, clicking on the Optima font and choosing More Info (I think) and find the specific version number. See if you can uninstall the font and reinstall another Optima font with a different, preferably newer version number. There has (historically) been a bad version of Optima floating around for years. Maybe you have it.
    Use a free utility like FontNuke or FontFinagler to get your Mac OS to reset its font plists. Sometimes that makes the OS feel better.
    Use the built-in Disk Utility to repair file permissions. You never know.
    Export your old document out to IDML and reopen that resulting idml file back into a new freshly written INDD file. This might remove internal database corruptions.
    All these are chicken-soup things to try and they might be good for you.
    Best,

  • Bought InDesign CS4 for Mac and now need to move it to a PC. Help!

    Bought InDesign CS4 for Mac and now need to move it to a PC. Help!

    Most Adobe software is written for one of two platforms, Mac or PC.  In order to switch platforms you need to be using the most current version, so CS4 would not be supported for making this switch.  Here is a link to a page that explains the requirements for switching platforms....

  • Printing from InDesign CS4 on Mac Snow Leopard to HP officejet pro K5400

    I recently started using a Mac Snow Leopard with InDesign CS4; for awhile it printed fine. Then, dealing with a book mss, I had to get InDesign to convert the document to a PDF, and since that time, the Officejet Pro k5400 will only print in what appears to be the best quality, even when I tell it to print in fast draft, and even set that as a preset. Anybody had that problem? Anybody have any suggestions as to what is going on here? How can I get the printer to print in fast draft? Thanks for any help,

  • Duplex Printing (InDesign CS4 v6.0 document from Reader)

    I have a 26.55MB PDF file with lots of graphics downloaded from a website and using Reader 9.0.  The document was created with InDesign CS4, v6.0.  It is set up to print duplex on 8.5 x 11 paper with room for punch holes.  I am working with VISTA sp2, 32 bit OS and an HP photosmart 7350 (not equipped with automatic duplex printing, but will duplex manually) with an HP deskjet 5550 print driver.  I have two major issues:
    1-The pages are designed to print to the edge of the page (color tabs) and my printer designates a print area.  Is there any way to change the print area on my printer?
    2-The print setup will not recognize the document as double sided when I configure it to print double sided manually.  Then I tried printing odd first, then even.  It prints every other odd, then when I turn and refeed the document, it prints the other odds.  When I select even, it prints every even correctly.
    Please help!  I need this 864 (432 double) page doc printed asap and trying to avoid printer costs.  Also afraid a printer might have the same problem???

    Thank you. When I reinstalled InDesign I ticked the box to replace the preferences but the reinstall did  not do this. I know now because INDD did not open to that splash window as it did when I followed this tip.
    Always the simple solution....
    At least I *hope* this is the solution. I have only tried it in one bit which had crashed before. (I'll revisit this list if it does not work)
    InDesign was so bad yesterday I was seriously thinking of going back to Quark.

  • PageMaker InDesign CS4 in Mac OS X?

    A client has asked me to convert a PageMaker 6.5 document to PDF that I last worked on in 1999! That document was split into 5 files. I have been able to successfully open 4 of the 5 files in InDesign CS4. However, InDesign crashes each time I try to open the 5th file, which at 2.5 MB is by far the largest and contains the most links to external image files.
    Prior to the crash I'm warned that one or more of the links is broken and advised to repair them in PageMaker before continuing, which of course I cannot do because PageMaker was removed from my page composition arsenal years ago. InDesign then valiantly works for 15 seconds or so to open the file before crashing. Any suggestions?

    You should be able to distill a PDF, but no conversion to ID. But the point of the exercise is to get the file into condition where it can be opened into ID directly, not to do any major work in PM.
    There are some problems with opeing PM docs in ID in vista, though, with CS2 (I think). Later versions should work.

  • InDesign CS4 and Mac 10.6

    Why is InDesign CS4 so sluggish and disfunctional with Mac 10.6? Hasn't Adobe optimized it to work with this OS?

    I disagree and would bet that this is indeed the reason. 10.5 to 10.6 was the only in place upgrade I ever did and I wound up with the same situation as the OP. Uninstalling CS4 did nothing to fix it.
    I wound up wiping the drive and reinstalling 10.6 then the apps. I swore off O/S upgrades after that and will forever recommend against them. Clean installs are the only safe way to install and operating system whether it was designed in Redmond or Cupertino.

  • Compatibility of InDesign CS4 with CS3 or CS5

    My situation is this: I'm working in InDesign CS4 at the moment and need someone else to work on the same files on a separate machine.
    The separate machine MAY have CS3 installed or they may need to buy a new copy of InDesign, in which case I imagine they would end up buying CS5. (Or is it still possible to buy CS4 products??)
    My question is this: if they buy CS5, I imagine they will have no problems opening the files I work on, but will I have problems when I open the files they have saved? Will I be able to?
    Simlarly: If they have CS3, will they be able to open the files I work on?
    In other words: what is the best solution for our situation short of me having to upgrade to CS5?
    Thanks for any light you can shed.

    The best solution is you should all be working in the same version. If this is a short-term project you may be able to work with a trial version (for earlier versions see http://forums.adobe.com/message/2729885#2729885 for a link to a blog posting with directions and direct download links).
    If that won't work, be sure nobody is using any features in the newer version that are not supported in the older version and be preapred for text to reflow (which won't happen inthe newer version opening an older file until you start to edit). CS4 to CS3 requires export to .inx from CS4 and CS3 must be patched to 5.0.4. CS5 to CS4 requires export to .idml from CS5, and CS4 should be patched to 6.0.5.
    Note that trying to callborate using two versions is pretty much a recipe for trouble.

  • Canon Pro 9000 good printer but garbage with Mac

    I have a canon 9000 pro printer, the interface for this printer with mac is just garbage.  No nice gui, I have to connect to http://127.0.0.1:631/.  Is there a way of setting the printer settings from the file/print options from the applications ?
    It is looking like I will have to keep a windows machine for printing photos etc where I want to easily change the printer settings.  Is there a way around this??
    If not what is a good A3 photo printer similar in resolution and quality to the canon that actually allows the user to use the printers full fucntionality from connected to a mac??

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    The iMac PPC can't run 10.6.8.  So either you don't have 10.6.8, or you don't have an iMac PPC.  PowerPC is the nomenclature for all CPUs used on iMacs from 1998 through 2005.  First identify your operating system, then you can properly identify what driver you need to use.  My FAQ* here on printers may be of use*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/printersx.html
    Go to Apple menu (the blue Apple logo in the upper left) and click on About This Mac to determine what operating system you are running, and under More Info what iMac CPU you are using.  No need to repost.  Once you've properly identified your machine and operating system, I can ask a moderator to move your thread.

  • Problems printing from PS with an Epson printer in Win2K

    There are many folk who are suffering from severe printing problems using the Epson 1270/2000P/870 USB printers.
    Symptoms may vary.
    The solution was obtained by Bo Wannerberg who posted the solution in the Adobe Photoshop:Windows forum which is as
    follows:
    The problem you have highlighted  with the error "disk error -36 in Photoshop on Windows 2000 running USB on Stylus
    products can be resolved in the Windows 2000 printer properties. If you go into the printer properties and select the
    Advanced tab. Down in the bottom right hand corner is an option called "Enable advanced printing features". You need
    to disable this function and the printer will run correctly

    You should also set the Photoshop memory usage to 30% to work around other Win2K problems, until Adobe can release a patch.
