Reader 8 PostScript printing broken beyond repair?

Hi,
It seems to me that, in general, Adobe Reader 8 and above cannot print to PostScript printers from Microsoft Windows.
There are different errors along the lines of:
ERROR: undefinedresource
OFFENDING COMMAND: findresource
although the exact error can vary.
There are many instances of this problem on the forums and the fixes have been:
1. User Reader 7, or
2. Switch to PCL printing
On a large network, both of these options are relatively large tasks. It also seems that we are having to work around something that needs fixing in Reader 8.
Has anybody ever had a formal response from Adobe support? Are the above two options the official fixes for this problem? Does Reader 8 include PostScript support for the hell of it which Adobe have no intention of fixing?
Any help or advice gratefully received,
Leon...

Let me add to your message -- anybody hear from Adobe about the broken Postscript in Reader 8? It broke our HP 840c printer. Since Reader 8.0, printing "all" of a PDF file results in 3 copies of page 1 followed by an error. The problem is with the postscript generated by Reader 8.
So, what did Adobe do to the generated Postscript between R7 and R8?
(The printall works fine to an HP all-in-on 1315 scanner, though; note that the scanner has a different native language from the 840C. Also printing just one page at a time via "print current page" works OK in R8.)

I cant get itunes on my new laptop. My laptop says I have to remove itunes from another computer as I can only have it on 5. Problem is that apart from my ipad, I no longer have the others as they were either broken beyond repair or lost. Any ideas?

I am not good with computers. I am trying to get my iTunes onto this new laptop but it says I am only allowed to have it on 5 computers and I must take it off one to ut it on this new laptop. Problem is, apart from my iPad, I have lost one laptop and two have been broken beyond repair so I am unable to take it off! Anyone any ideas? I have tried to get iTunes support but cant get past the "date of purchase" as I can only guess when I bought my ipod (2009)

Hang on...
You can only authorise the songs you purchase from the iTunes Store to play on five computers.
You can download and install iTunes (the iTunes programme) onto as many computers as you wish.
Two different things.
Assuming therefore, that your problem is that you have authorised five computers, but now no longer have some of them, you need to de-authorise all your computers and then re-authorise the computers you still have.
To de-authorise your computers, go to your account in the iTunes Store and look for the Deauthorise All button.

How do i get back my audio book if the computer i used to sync with is broken beyond repair

How do i get back my audio book if the computer i used to sync with is broken beyond repair

get it back from the backup which I'm sure you made.

ADOBE, please fix CC application, it's broken beyond repair.

Just look at the list of people have problems with CC application. It's so bad that if you do a google search on the problem there will be 100+ pages of hits on the problems with CC from professionals to the hobbiest.
I want to stay with Adobe products, but what's happened to your technical experience?
You need a "real" solution to the updater, not a guess work, someone needs to really identify the problem (give you a hint, is security context related). Clearly the group that coded the Adobe CC application updater doesn't have the necessary technical skills/understanding of the Windows OS.
Repeat of what I posted in another thread:
The Adobe Creative Cloud tool is terrible!! I've done all the suggested "fixes" and they simply don't work. I've contacted support and gone thru the opm.db file deletion process and that didn't work.
1. I'm constantly being asked to "Sign-In" whenever I open any CC products.
2. I have two Adobe icons in my Task bar, one is CC icon the other is Adobe Application Updates icon
3. Selecting Adobe Application Updates icon and right click and selet Open Updater does nothing
4. Select Adobe CC icon and clicking on the HOME tab just shows a blue spinning wheel (dashed) that never stop
5. Select Adobe CC icon and click on Files says "Coming soon"
6. Select Adobe CC icon and click on Apps is the only thing that works shows my installed app and those apps need updates
7. Select Adobe CC icon and click on Fonts says "Coming soon"
I'm a software engineer so I know a thing or two about Windows 7 OS, Adobe are NOT installing their CC under correct security context and they are also trying to display a UI element (User Interface) under a different security context (the systray context) which is not allowed under Windows 7 security model. And I also suspect that my CS6 products Application Updater is conflicting with Adobe CC. If you take a look at your Windows Services, you'll see:
A. AdobeARMservice (Adobe Acrobat Update Service)
B. AdobeFlashPlayerUpdateSvc (Adobe Flash Player Update Service)
C. SwitchBoard (Adobe SwitchBoard)
And if you take a look at running processes:
i. AAM Updates Notifier (Adobe OOBE component)
ii. Adobe CEF Helper (Adobe CC process)
iii. Adobe CEF Helper (Adobe CC process)
iv. Adobe CEF Helper (Adobe CC process)
v. CEPServiceManager (Adobe common process)
vi. acrotray.exe (Adobe Acrobat 11 process)
vii. Adobe CEF Helper (Adobe CC process)
viii. Creative Cloud
So I don't have a single Adobe application "running" yet I have 8 Adobe related processes running and 4 of them are instances of the same executable. I have 3 Adobe windows services running also.
Do Adobe have a big problem with their services and CC and Updaters, YEP! Is the problem related to having CS6 installed AND not understanding Windows OS security context, YES!
Adobe have some great applications, but whatever group is responsible for their update/CC process doesn't appear to have adequate programming experience/knowledge.
I'm at the point of stopping my Adobe CC subscription due to the lack of support from Adobe over these continued problems that myself and MANY MANY others are having with CC.
Rob.

Rob,
Thank you, I have forwarded a copy of your post to our Windows Group.
I am in the Mac group but I do use use the windows version when developing work flows.
We needed the file sharing feature of CC for teams and bought into the "team" packages because of the smoke and mirror tricks at MAX.
"Adobe have some great applications, but whatever group is responsible for their update/CC process doesn't appear to have adequate programming experience/knowledge.
The software is good but work groups and workflows they are too imature to provide professional services to the community that they themselves helped create.
We are trying to get our team accounts reduced to single user account and save some money as Adobe can not provide us with file sharing. Adobe does not have a down grade option only up-grade accounts, we are attempting cancel these accounts and purchase single user accounts and control this through a credit card company to manage it for us.
As for file sharing we turned to our Internet service provider, the master of servers put together a cloud environment that's works for our catalogue and magazine workflow's. We have printers, retailers, buyers, publishers, advertisers, designers and web developers that all need to share files together in a work group performing a workflow.
http://www.forttechnology.ca/index.php/ticklevault
Having to buy full CC team accounts to share files with users that use Acrobat Reader to only "look" at files is not worth it. Make a printer buy software they already own to share files, not going to happen. Make designers buy software to get client work at home, they are lined up at the door. Offer to pay for it and they send us flowers on our birthdays,
The difference in Price between single and team is $20 a month per seat. You don't need many user to pay for your own cloud systems.
Myself and some others I work with have 30 years of education invested in PostScript and Adobe's products. Our approach is to take advantage of Adobe failings. We will continue to follow this wounded animal. A PostScript meal is soon to be had again, says one of the victors of the clone wars. It just has an Internet flavor to it.

My computer I synced all iphone information with has broken beyond repair.. What do i do next in terms of syncing my info on another computer? Just download itunes again and activate ??? Appreciate any feed back

Laptop has been broken.. so I need to download Itunes on a new computer so I can sync media, back up apps etc and also update software... Is it as simple as that.. download Itunes then re register my phone?

You also need to restore the itunes library, along with any other relevant data from the backup you made of your old computer before it died.
You can NOT sync music TO the computer from the iPhone unless it is music that was purchased from iTunes.
You may want to take a look at More Like This, to the right, as this subject comes up on very nearly a daily basis and has been addressed extensively here.

I cant get my music to sync onto my laptop as it is synced on another laptop, however the other laptop is broken beyond repair,can i get around this without my music being lost

my music wont sync on my new laptop because it is synced with another laptop, this laptop is now broken and i cant access it, is there anyway of fixing this without my music getting lost

Ideally you would copy your itunes media library from your old laptop to your new laptop.

Is my ipod broken beyond repair?

I dropped it, and now it won't sync more than a handful of songs at once - it says the files can't be found, yet they play perfectly in iTunes. Occasionally it says that the hard disk can't be found.
The other problem is that sometimes it becomes slow and nearly unresponsive, or freezes.
The first problem is the more important one, because my ipod's basically useless if I can only have 150 songs or so on there. I suppose I could readd my entire library one by one (~1,400 songs), but it'll probably screw that up as well.
I've already reinstalled itunes and restored the ipod.

Forgot to add - after I dropped the ipod, it showed the “Connect to your computer. Use iTunes to restore." error message. I fixed that though by restoring it.

Broken beyond repair?

So here is what I'm facing right now and REALLY need help. I plug in the usb and it automatically detects it and says its in restore mode. Meanwhile the screen on my iphone is black. I click restore (4.1) and it runs up to the end where it says verifying iPhone software or something like that. I must mention that during the entire restore in itunes the screen is white on my phone. When it gets to the end of the restore it gives me ERROR 6.
While its unplugged I can't turn it on or anything
tried everything as far from doing the holding sleep/wake and home for 10 blah blah blah to giving it the evil eye!
Need your help PLEASE as I have no idea what to do...

right so I finally got a chance to go in and talk to apple...
Let me just say I am seriously not happy with Apple anymore. I love the phone but the customer service part can &*^% themselves for all I care.
Went in, guy looks at my phone, and because I've had the screen replaced (not by apple, but how would he know, it was an OEM replacement) he put up a fuss about even doing anything. So after a few minutes of basically arguing with the rep I got him to hook it up to the comp to have them run the diagnostic. Well, basically he plugged it in, looked at screen, didn't even run the diagnostic, and said; and i quote "I'm sorry but we no longer consider this an iPhone since it has been repaired outside of Apple." He then walked off and moved onto the next customer.
Now don't get me wrong its a 3G model...but still..its 2 years old...don't give me that BS Apple...just because I don't want to pay 200$ for a new screen when I can get the iPhone 4 for 150$...
So needless to say I refuse to go back unless its for a warranty covered thing. And I ended up getting an iPhone 4 through a friend of mine who works in Rogers. Apple didn't want to help me that day to upgrade my contract "because they were too busy to deal with contracts"...
Very unhappy with the service Apple...hope you smarten up or you won't have any customers in the end

PostScript settings in Reader XI causing print issue

Greetings,
I have one user on one PC unable to print from Reader XI. When I log in, printing is normal...both users are local administrators. The only difference I can see is in Reader's Advanced print settings; the problem user has PostScript Options available, where normal printing seems to pull the settings from a printer or print driver automatically (greyed out and unavailable). It is as if something is overriding the default behavior for this user only. I have tried defaulting the printer options, reinstalling Reader XI with no progress. Does anyone know what user specific setting might be causing this behavior?
Thanks in advance for any ideas!

I appreciate the suggestion... however I don't think the driver is the issue because I can send the same .pdf job from the same PC to the same IP printer OK. It is only one user having the issue... his job from Reader is never sent, spooled, nothing. The Problem User is able to print from all other apps OK. This is why I asked about user specific settings affecting Reader's ability to communicate with the print driver on a user specific basis.
Maybe I wasn't clear about the issue. Again; same print driver, same ip printer, same PC, same file, different user, different PostScript Options state in Reader - Print - Advanced, different result. Problem User's PostScript Options are not greyed out by default, not printing from Reader at all regardless of PostScript Options manually selected.
What could be preventing Reader from automatically pulling those default (greyed out) settings, on the individual user profile level, from a printer that is otherwise printing fine from Reader for other users on the same machine?
Thanks again

Printing with SMC4007ABR Print Server to PostScript Printer

I've just set up my Mac Mini in a new network configuration, with an old SMC4007ABR router/print server printing to my Ricoh Laser AP2100 printer, using IPP printing and the configuration for a Generic PostScript printer, which had worked for this printer in previous setups. I am using the IP address of the router, 192.168.2.1, and the queue name specified in the documentation "lpt1". When I log into the router to view the status page it says the printer is idle and ready. When I submit a print job, I get the message "Network host '192.168.2.1' is busy; will retry in 30 seconds...".
I have tried deleting the printer queue and recreating it, using the queue name with upper case, using the queue name specified for use with Windoze ("LP"), changing the router configuration from DHCP to manual IP assignments and back again, resetting the print system from the Printer Setup Utility, using the CUPS interface at http://localhost:631/ to modify the printer setup in any sane way I could think of. I have looked at anything I could find in this forum that seemed relevant, but haven't found anything to try which I haven't tried. I have tried the SMC technical support system, but the router is no longer supported by them, but by another firm which charges per incident, and doesn't support Macintosh.
I would appreciate any suggestions from people who know idiosyncracies of this router, or who have fruitful insights into this strange behavior. Clearly my Mini sees the printer queue, but not well enough to be able to transmit data to it. Thanks for any insights you can offer.
Regards,
Geoff

Thanks very much for your response. It seems I was ignoring the answer in some of the posts I was looking at, having misjudged that they were applying to a different sort of situation. I can't even remember what set of instructions from years ago established such a strong prejudice that I needed the IPP protocol. In any case, I'm grateful for your help.
Best regards,

HT1339 my ipod shuffle(1st generation) is corrupted (error 1442) it will not restore. is it possible to correct this or is it beyond repair. It worked the last time I used it on my laptop with Windows Vista. Vista.

My ipod shuffle (1st generation) will not restore. It says it is corrupted(error 1442) Is it possible to correct this problem, or is it beyond repair. It worked last time I used it on my laptop with Windows Vista. Any help would be much appreciated.

Im actually tilting it up where it cinnects to my iPod, not where it connects to my computer, and i have tried three(yes, 3) different cables, one of which i bought brand new. still nothing, and i've also tried different USB ports on my computer,....nothing. Could this simply be a hardware failure of somekind? maybe a physical problem...i mean, why would i have to tilt the cable in order for my computer to actually read my iPod? im looking at the USB connector on my iPod (maybe it's my imagination, not sure) it possible might be bent, the little metal part in the port.

PageMaker 6.5 set default PostScript printer for PDF export

My boss uses PageMaker 6.5 and it appears when she uses the Export to PDF option it is selecting a PostScript printer at random and asking it to "print to file" to create the PostScript file that it later gives to Distiller to create the PDF. The problem is, she has a "virtual PDF print driver" installed that is not unlike the Adobe PDF printer driver, except it either doesn't support "print to file" or maybe just doesn't like something about the way PageMaker is using it. It works great from other apps, but not PageMaker. Anyway, is there a way to force PageMaker to use a specific PS printer for this, instead of picking the first one it finds? I thought it might be alphabetical order based on driver or printer name, or port name, but I've tried changing all of those, and no luck. I did install a new PS printer, and that worked for a bit (so I assumed it was using the most recent printer installed), but now it is selecting the virtual one again, and not working... not sure why.
If she sets the default printer to Adobe PDF Printer (she has Acrobat 9), it uses that one, and everything works fine. She doesn't want to use that for her default printer though, and the printer she wants as her default isn't a PostScript printer, so PM doesn't try to use it.
Maybe a registry setting or something? Or someone that can confirm the order that PageMaker looks for a printer to use, so that I can maybe trick it in to using a specific one?

If it wasn't my boss, I'd just tell her to do that. She's been using PM for many many years, and hard to retrain yourself. Of course, this might be the best option. Seems like a weird design to "pick a printer at random" though, so hoping someone knows of some hidden option to force a specific printer.

What is the most cost effective way to have a broken screen repaired?

What is the most cost effective way to have a broken screen repaired?

One thing to bear in mind, if your iPad is still under any sort of warranty, using any unauthorized repair place may void that.
So you may find less expensive places that are non-authorized, but once you use them, Apple disowns your device and if you have any warranty left, it'll be void.
