Problems printing Acrobat documents on shared printer

I have a MacBook Pro and a Mac Pro. I also have an Epson 1400 printer.
When I print any Acrobat document using the printer hooked up directly to my MacBook, it prints perfectly.
When I print the same Acrobat document using the printer hooked up directly to the Mac Pro, it prints perfectly.
However, when I hook the printer to the Mac Pro and enable printer sharing, and then print the same document from the MacBook Pro using the shared printer via the network, the Acrobat document is reduced in size by around 50%. I have checked every possible setting and just can't find why this is happening.
Thanks in advance for any help!

The problem occurs not only through Acrobat. The prints have the correct size through the Mac only when the printer is directly connected via USB on the Macs but reduced size through the network. The problem occurs in any printer model on the network.
I do not know how to solve this problem but curiously does not occur with Windows computers with Bonjour that prints to the printers connected to Macs.
When Apple will fix this?

Printing problem with Acrobat Pro 10.1

I get an "Insufficient memory" message on my LaserJet printer when trying to print certain PDFs using Acrobat Pro 10.1, but the PDFs are printed without any problem from Acrobat Pro 9 or Preview. Does anybody else have this problem?

Thanks for responding I was using an MS Excel spreadsheet to merge details to produce labels in a programme called NiceLabel Pro. The information from the spreadsheet was very simple - a readable code number and a QR code. In the Nice Label document setup you nominate the printer - in my case this was the Adobe PDF printer - to produce a Press Ready quality PDF file. I tried several times to print this file and each time ended up with page 1. As the job was urgent and I had a deadline to meet, I ended up installing a programme called Nitro - which also produces PDF - to complete the job, without a problem. However, I would prefer to stick with my Adobe Acrobat software as the other alternative is limited in its pre-press options. Hope this information will enable a solution to the problem.
- Thanks, Lynne
Hi again Dov - have you been able to come up with an answer to my Acrobat problem. Would like to begin 2015 with workable Acrobat.
Many thanks - Lynne

Problems printing PDF's using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

During the last two weeks, I have been unable to print a PDF from my Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. They appear okay on the screen, but print as gibberish.
After consulting the forums, one workaround suggested was to print as image. Tried it, also prints gibberish.
Another suggestion to update my printer software, did it. Still prints as gibberish. My priner is an Epston Stylus Photo R220.
I'm a writer, not a software technician. I am not using a bootleg copy of the program, but an educational version, so Adobe won't offer me any advice over the phone without payment.
Anything else I could try before paying?

I have same problem as described above, but not always. Seems to depend on the web page I am trying to print to Adobe. One consistent culprit is Bank of America. Looks okay until I print to Adobe Acrobat 9 or 10. Then it's gibberish. i had to copy to Word and then print Word to Acrobat or printer.
. Various computers,
. same problem with either Acrobat 9 or 10.
. Not a problem printing to Acrobat from a Word or Excel or Outlook document
. Only from certain websites and not the entire page, only the OCR part. The objects: logos, pictures are okay, only text is messed up.
Definitely would like Adobe to fix this.

Problems printing a high qaulity PDF from a document

Hello,
Recently I have had some problems printing a high qaulity pdf (acrobat 9 pro) from a document made in 2010 word.
Every time I have tried to print these documents there is information missing in the pdf incuding text, pictures, shapes etc.. This was never a problem untill I installed 2010 word.
I sent it to a friend, and he was able to print the document into a pdf just fine.
What can I do to fix this? It is very important that I tackle this problem asap!
If you need to know any additional information, please ask.
Thanks

Have you checked to see if Acrobat 9 or any version of Acrobat works with Office 2010?
Adobe product operating system compatibility
This issue has been discussed many times. Until Adobe releases the next version of Acrobat, there is very little you can do.

Printing problems with Pdf documents created with Pages

I upgraded to Acrobat 8.0 recently and for some reason when I save a Pages document to pdf, within the print options then try and print, it prints blank.
I have created other pdf documents which print OK, so the problem lies somewhere within Pages.
I didn't have the problem with Acrobat 7.0
ANy ideas

When you say "Acrobat", do you mean Adobe Acrobat Standard or Pro? Or do you mean Adobe Reader?
If it is Adobe Acrobat, I would go to the preflight option and see what information you get there. But no, I have not had the problem myself.

Problem printing Adobe Reader documents (PDF). Text files and MS-WORD print fine. Help?

I cannot get my ePrint to work with Adobe Acrobat (ReaderX) and pdf files. I get a "Failed to send" message. I have NO problems printing text or MS-WORD files so I know my Internet, printer, and local intranet are working. Help?

When you say the bottom right of you screen, are you talking about your computer screen? If you are then, you are not using ePrint, which is fine. You may just be having some wireless network issues. Try this. When it asks for the DNS information on step six, enter Google's public DNS (Preferred = 8.8.8.8 | Alt = 8.8.4.4). If that does not help, let me know and I will see what I can do.
By the way, if you are emailing the documents to your printer, which is ePrint, you are right about the file size limit, however, the limit is 5 MB. Most likely you are not Creating PDF or Docx documents that are anywhere near that size, so that should not be the issue if you are using ePrint. If you are using ePrint, try turning the router and printer off. Turn the router on and let it become stable. Turn the printer back on. Turn off and on any other devices that are connected to your wireless network as well, so they can re-establish network connection. Now retry the ePrint job. If that does not work, let me know.

Problems printing small documents

Hi everyone,
I am a digital printer and I am running into an odd problem printing document that are smaller than 8.5 by 11. Typically I don't print from Acrobat. I usually just import directly into Command work station and then print from Fiery. However every so often I need to "print as image" to make sure the document prints as it should. I create a custom page size and make sure to choose the correct printer to format for. When I view it in my rip software the document reads as 8.5 by 11. So for example I can send business cards over at 2.25 by 3.75 and use the custom page size that matches but it still comes over as business card placed on a 8.5 by a 11 page. Does any one know how to remedy this? I am using Acrobat XI on a Mac running OS 10.9.3. I use Command Workstation 5.5 printing using Fiery rip software on a Xerox 700 digital press.

Yes, that shoild be fine.
At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files!
Disconnect the USB cable from any UPS so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

Hi vhcarmona, have you tried printing a PDF from Preview? And what error messages, if any are you getting from Adobe Acrobat Reader? Have you updated all printer drivers? Also is this a resent problem? Like after an update or upgrade.

Printing Problems with Acrobat 9.5.1?

I recently installed the update - Acrobat Pro 9.5.1 (Mac). Now I am having problems printing pdf files.
I re-installed printer drivers and printer software a couple of times. Got a file to print this morning and now nothing will print again.
These upgrades are more trouble than they are worth. What a waste of my time and time is money when you run your own business.
I've found no help online for this issue.

The printer.
iPhoto is still active and I can do other things with it. The job has been sent tothe printer so I guess it's the printer where the problme lies, or the communication between the Mac and the printer (which is wireless, though that shouldn't make a difference).

Adobe Acrobat Pro XI problems printing PDFs created from AutoCAD.

Just installed Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and am having problems printing PDFs created from AutoCAD. Printing other PDF created by MS Word works well. Had a similar problem in an earlier version of Pro. The fix I figure out then was to print the PDF file as another PDF. Using the second PDF to print to a plotter typically worked. It does not work for Adoabe Acrobat Pro XI.

Problem printing when spool print documents is selected as apposed to print direct

I have an officejet 6500 and I'm having a problem printing a label created using Label Factory Deluxe software. The job will not print if spool print documents so that printing finishes faster is selected under the printer properties. The job appears to be sent to the printer. The printer icon appears in the task tray for less than a second and the printer makes a trill sounding beep but nothing prints. In addition there is nothing in the print que. It will print however, if print directly to the printer is selected. Any ideas???

Hello,
Well with out any info on versions the easiest way is to check the Not Printer Option on in the Page Setup of the Report.

Problem printing Report Document Draft

Dear support,
our customer has problem printing its Document Draft Report, because
the "DRAFT DOCUMENT" string on the background of the page is too large.
The printer can manage this dimension and prints an empty second page
(also when the document has more pages).
See attached file.
If we disable the "Print Draft Watermark on Draft Document" flag in the
Print Preferences, the customer hasn't the problem printing the draft
document.
The customer need to distinguish the print of draft document.
Is it possible in the report designer to know if a document is a Draft or
a Definitive one?
If we can understand the type of the document, we could add a text box
"DRAFT DOCUMENT" in the report and disable the "Print Draft Watermark on
Draft Document" flag.
Can someone help us, please?
Regards,
Emanuele

hi Emanuele Croci,
For example paper format which default as Letter,but in PLD
if y'r paper format is A4 then definitely it will be printed more than 1 page.
Go to File --> Page Set Up --> Change paper format as in PLD.
Also reduce the font by 1 point.
If problem not get solved,You can print Water mark as DRAFT from printer properties.
Start --> Printer and Faxes > Select Printer you want to print,Right Click it>Select Properties>Select Printing Preferences>Select Effects Tab> Select Water mark option as Draft>Click Apply.
Test print it let me know.
Hope above solution will solve problem.

Problem printing documents four up in lanscape?

I have a problem printing documetnts 4 up in landscape.
The first page will print 4 cells to the first page in portrait mode, even though I have selected landscape, the rest of the document will print 4 up in landscape.
When I have to produce more than 1 copy, all cpoies will have the same fault. To get around this I have to print 1 copy, which will have the error then, without leaving the print setup screen, print the other copies which will be fine, i.e 4 up in landscape on all pages including the first page.

what are you trying to print using which printer and from which application.

Printing problem after acrobat upgrade

Hi,
I am running Mac OSX 10.8.5 and have recently updated my Acrobat to 11.0.04. Since doing this I am experiencing problems printing my pdf files to my desktop printer, which is a Xerox phaser 7500 duplex printer. When sending the file across it just crashes out the printer which reboots itself but doesn't print the file out. I had this problem previously when Acrobat issued an update and it ended up being a problem with the Xerox driver compatability, so I am sure it will be the same issue. The latest driver I can see on the Xerox site is this one - XeroxPrintDriver.2.112.0 but it still has the same problem. Does anyone have a later driver or any ideas please? A later driver supplied by Xerox fixed the issue.
Regards Kevin

Hi kevpobrien,
Please try updating Acrobat to 11.0.5 and check.

Printing PDF Adobe Acrobat Documents

I receive emails from my job and the attachments are PDF Adobe Acrobat Documents and I get an error message when I try to print them. The error message is: PROP Res DLL Not Loaded. I have talked to a computer tech to see why I could not print those attachments and they said that I needed to download the Adobe Flash Player. I have done that just recently and I was given the notification that it did download. I went to try to print those documents and I get the same error message: Prop Res DLL Not Loaded. What do I have to do to be able to print those documents?

This is usually associated with LexMark printers installed under Windows. A possible fix is given at
