Problems printing word documents

Hello
My friend as a powerbook and a HP printer, and is having problems printing word documents, nothing shows up in preview when you press print just a blank page pops out. You can print pictures fine from iPhoto, any ideas?
Popping over tomorrow to see if I can get it working. My friend emailed a document and I had no trouble printing it.
Paul.

Hello MaradaMMA,
Welcome to the forum.
Can't test at the moment, but, if after clicking the print
button, in the option tab, can you select "as laid out on screen",
then click Print?
Hope this works, if not, please post back
Regards,
Brian

Pages won't print Word documents

All of a sudden I can't seem to get Pages to print Word documents. Pages documents print fine, but if I send a Word document to the printer, the printer seems to start, but then never prints. I have an Epson Stylus C86. This problem only happens in Pages and only with Word documents.
Any ideas?

Since it only happens with Word docs, I'm wondering if it's a font issue. For the sake experimentation, try highlighting the entire doc, and change fonts, then try printing again.

Adobe Pro - will not print word documents to pdf.. keeps crashing

Hello,
I have Acrobat Pro and when I try to print Word documents it says printing... and then crashes. The window to select the name of the pdf to print to never pops up. The Word program crashes and reopens. The print icon appears on the system tray and just says spooling.
I am using Word 07.
Acrobat Pro was working fine to print PDF's on this version of word for a few months then for some reason it just stopped.
When I print PDF's from existing PDF's it works fine.
I have tried to repair the program but it did not help.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Miguel

If you are having problems creating a PDF, there are two steps you should do FIRST
Go to the appropriate vendor web site and apply all updates to the program you are using (several recent messages have concerned problems with MS Office conversion, with the response that different versions of Office have different BUGS that must be fixed by a download from Microsoft - and MS Office products are not the only ones which may, from time to time, need to be updated to work properly)
Apply all updates IN NUMBER ORDER

Acrobat Pro XI Will Not Print Word Document with a Rotated Table

I have a MS Word document that is mostly text, but include a table that has been rotated in a text box to fit on the page. When I try to print to PDF using Acrobat Pro XI, the document crashes at the page the table is on.
I have tried several attempts to print using the Acrobat Printer, convert to PDF feature and trying to print just the page alone. Acrobat will simply not print word document with a rotated table.
Any idea how to fix this?
Word 2013, Windows 7, Acrobat Pro XI 11.0.06

In the full document, the print to PDF goes only as far as the table, then ends - not printing the table. The remaining pages are not printed.
For example, I have trimmed the file down to just the table page, and included links to it, and a copy of the PDF it generated.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/60543835/Forums/Table%20Sample_140903.pdf
The error message I now get when I try to print is: "There is not enough memory or disk space to repaginate or print this document."
However, with the Task manager open, the memory never seems to get above half of the available (the graph bar fluctuates a little, but stays stable")
The page prints to a regular HP or Xerox printer with no problems.

Printer will not print word documents or documents from internet however does a test print

My printer will not print word documents or documents from the internet. However it does complete a test print. I have uninstalled and reinstalled printer. I have disabled and enbled the firewall and have run the test doctor programme, which has been unable to identify any problems. I have a HP deskjet 3050A all in one J611 series printer.

Sorry that you are having a problem with printing word documents and internet.
Are you connected USB or wireless?
You can try to download an alternative driver and check to see if that works. (Shane_R) has a great post on how to do so.
The deskjet 990c is usually the better one.

Printing Word Documents on HP Deskjet 5150

I have a G4 flat panel iMac connected to a HP deskjet 5150 printer. When I try to print Word documents, it will only print a single page of multipage documents. If I want multiple copies of a single page document, it will only print one copy. All other applications print without problem.
I have reinstalled the drivers and that has not solved the problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hi Georgia and others,
I have a similar problem - but printing from Word to a HP DeskJet 960 printer.
It dones not seem to be a problem with all documents here, but since I yesterday used several hours trying to figure out what caused the problem I want to share my experiences with you. I had the same problem with another document on the same printer some moths ago (but not on our Laser printers at my company office).
I installed the newest printer driver from HP (several times) with no effect. After opening the document and saving it to a ".txt" document - without any formatting - the whole document got printed! This is not a real solution in most cases, as one loses all the formatting etc. But it indicated to me that the printer worked and communicated with word. Also it was possbile to print (other) documents without any problems to the same printer, at the same time.
So have you tested different documents on your printer?
I'm wondering if this indicate that the problem is hidden somewhere in something inside Word/Office and it's communication to the printer - as I have seem someone reporting similar problems with printing from Excel? (something with some "codes" in specific documents?).
Also, I have seen an update from Apple on some issues with printing from Preview - so I was also wondering if the use of "Show quick Preview" in Word/Office does has something to do with this problem? Has anyone tried to de-select this feature before trying to print? (I deleted the problematic document and can not re-create the problem currently).

Trying to print word document in postsript format it gives invalid flavor

I want to print word document in PDF format or post script format.I have installed PDF writter .This gives exception -invalid Flavor
Please help me how shall i correct this
import java.io.*;
import javax.print.*;
import javax.print.attribute.*;
import javax.print.attribute.standard.*;
import javax.print.event.*;
public class PrintPage {
public PrintPage() {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
// Open the image file
InputStream is = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream("E:/a.doc"));
// Find the default service
DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.POSTSCRIPT;
PrintService service = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
// Create the print job
DocPrintJob job = service.createPrintJob();
Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(is, flavor, null);
// Monitor print job events; for the implementation of PrintJobWatcher,
// see e706 Determining When a Print Job Has Finished
// PrintJobWatcher pjDone = new PrintJobWatcher(job);
// Print it
job.print(doc, null);
// Wait for the print job to be done
// pjDone.waitForDone();
// It is now safe to close the input stream
is.close();
} catch (PrintException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

This mean your printer did not support this DocFlavor.
Try to find what DocFlavor your printer support.
// Just check the default one
PrintService service = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
DocFlavor[] flavors = service.getSupportedDocFlavors();
for (int i = 0; i < flavors.length; i++) {
System.out.println(flavors.toString());

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.

You mean USB HUBs, correct? Not routers.
Yes remove the HUBs and try the drives connected directly to the computer.

I cannot print word documents but can print all other documents

Since updating my virus checker I cannot print word documents. I can print all other documents

At this point my suggestion is to do a full uninstall of the old print driver and an install of the most recent version print driver which you can obtain at:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=228&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=40664...
Please follow the uninstall procedure before installing the new driver.

Problems Converting word documents with the Adobe Printer and method ,printout (OutputFileName:=) in

I would like to write a vb-procedure to convert a word document into pdf.
I'm developing in "Visual Basic 2005 express edition" and tried the following code:
code[
Private Sub PrintDocument(sDocName As String,sNewDocName As String)
'sDocname = "c:\tmp\test.doc"
'sNewDocName = "c:\test\test.pdf)
Dim m_wdApp As Word.Application = New Word.Application
Dim m_wdDatei As Word.Document
m_wdDatei = m_wdApp.Documents.Open(FileName:=sDocName)
m_wdDatei.PrintOut(Background:=False,OutputFileName:=sNewDocName, _ ActivePrinterMacGX:="Adobe PDF")
m_wdDatei.Close(False)
m_wdDatei = Nothing
m_wdApp.Quit()
m_wdApp = Nothing
End Sub
]End of code
After running the printout line I can see a little window popping up, which shows the progress in the converting and after a little time I can find the expected file in the targetdirectory.
The problem is that I can't open this file, I just get the message that the file is corrupt or not of the pdf-format.
By scanning the web, I found several threads describing the same problem, but so far I found no solution. Maybe someone here can help me.

I have a photosmart all in one 58200 printer. My os is windows vista(unfortunately). Up until recently I had no problem printing my word 97 documents and all of a sudden either the pc or the printer decided not to print them. It will print anything else in Microsof office.

Printing Word documents to PDF from Office Web Apps Server 2013 yields inaccessible PDF files

I have Office Web Apps Server 2013 SP1 with March 2015 CU applied. The version shows up as "15.0.4569.1506" using Todd Klindt's
method. When anonymous users view the Word documents online through the Office Web Apps, they have an option to print them to PDF. The PDF file that gets generated as a result isn't accessible
(i.e. it isn't WCAG-compliant). using Adobe Acrobat Pro to check it I can see that it is missing tags, for example. The source Word document was made fully accessible from the point of view of Microsoft Office accessibility tools.
When viewing the same document in Word Online in Office 365, I get an extra option "Download as PDF". The PDF document produced is accessible. If I save a Word 2013 document as a PDF from within the Word editor, it also generates accessible
PDF.
I was wondering if the reason for the accessibility problem that I have misconfigured my on-premises Office Web Apps, or perhaps the accessibility compliance isn't built in yet. If the latter is true, I was wondering if someone could indicate whether
or not this is on the list of upcoming CUs.
thanks in advance.

Just check my WAC install, no this is likely an Office online only feature, at least at this point in time.
