Reader X won't print to HP Designjet 1055 plotter

I've seen similar issues in the forums, but I want to put in my problem so hopefully Adobe recognizes this as a valid issue affecting many people.
We have a large format HP Designjet 1055 color plotter which we could print to with Reader 9. However, no one here can print to it with Reader X. After openning a pdf file, clicking Print, selecting the printer, then clicking OK; the print dialog box goes away, but nothing happens. Nothing is spooled to the print server. I tried printing directly to the printer (bypassing the print server), but that did not work either. The same pc's can print to all other printers.
We can print pdf's to the 1055 if we use a copy of Acrobat 9 or Nuance Pdf reader.

My customers are seeing the same issue here with plotters. Testing shows at least 2 HP DesignJet 1055c are affected; printing from Acrobat works as expected, but print attempts from Reader X go no where with no feedback. "Print as image" doesn't help, either.

Acrobat Reader DC - won't print

I upgraded Acrobat Reader DC from Adobe Reader XI last week. When I tried to print any PDF. document, I get the error message "The document could not be printed. There were no pages selected to print". What went wrong? I did Repair installation, but I'm still getting the same message. I have PC and Window 7. Please help.

Try uninstalling and then re-installing. The following script may help with a complete uninstall: Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs

Adobe Reader XI won't print PDF's in color

I recently built 4 new PC's for my office. They all have Windows 7 64 bit, and are all networked to the same Canon Copy machine. They all print Office documents just fine, in color or black and white as needed. And all but one of them print PDF's just fine as well. However, one of the PC's is only printing in black and white, even when we change the settings to color and even when the preview pane shows the document in color. Gray scale is not checked. I was able to get documents to print in color, but I had to change the "objectives" setting from "General" to "Publication". What I'm wondering is, is there a way to change the settings on this computer so that "General" objectives print in color, or so that the default objective is set to "publication" . Please advise.

Thanks to the previous post by KCoons, I figured out how to fix a similar issue.
MY SITUATION: I was printing thousands of concert flyers to a fairly modern Ricoh printer, and I noticed that even though the source document was B&W, Adobe was printing the greyscale as dots of color, seriously depleting my color toner. I had to play around with the settings to get Acrobat Pro to print it in true B&W, using only black toner.
Later on, I discovered Acrobat would not print ANYTHING in color, while other programs had no problem with color.
THE SOLUTION: This is not exactly the same as the one posted above, which is why I am posting this as a possible alternative for users with a similar problem...
In the PRINT dialog, click on the ADVANCED button to the right of the printer selection field.
In the ADVANCED PRINT SETUP dialog, in the selection field just above the print image, click on COLOR MANAGEMENT.
On the right side, under Color Management, for COLOR HANDLING, select "Printer Color Management."
This solved the problem for me. Now I can print in color again. And it was indeed an ADOBE setting, not a printer setting.

Reader PDFs won't print; "pages not selected"

PDFs on Reader will not print. I get a message "Pages not selected" but there is no way to select them.

Met with IT. tried to install a native driver (as opposed to a generic postscript). Same problem. There's a solution that sits outside of Acrobat... Mac OS X "Prevew", prints the doc flawlessly. I'm not sure what else to do. I've even tried some advanced settings to print as image, where it takes a long time to flatten each page, then print.. no pages will print. I'm inclined to say it's a memory issue between the Mac and this printer, but perplexed because there is no issue with "Preview"...

Adobe Reader 8 won't print attachments

I get the following notice "Doc could not be printed" and then "There were no pages selected to print" I can print everything else except the pdf attachments. Also when I send pdf pics from my Blackberry it saved them as bitmap... is this two different problems or the same source.

That is quite possible seeing that official drivers have not yet been released yet for Yosemite 10.10

Pantone Color 5615 Coated Won't Print On 1 of 2 Identical HP DesignJet 5500s

Hi,
We've run into an odd problem where we have 2 locations with identical setups: Creative Suite Design Premium 4, Mac Pros, and HP DesignJet 5500s. The same InDesign file prints fine in one location with a DesignJet 5500, but when we print the same ID file at the second location that has a second DesignJet 5500, the only color that doesn't print correctly is Pantone 5615 Coated. We're using same printer driver version for both printers. I haven't yet checked Firmware versions for both printers.
On the printer that won't print Pantone 5615, the printer doesn't print it correctly in any of our Creative Suite applications. We tried creating completely new files in ID, PS, IL and the color won't print. We've checked color management in Bridge and ID and they seem OK. We're not currently having any other color problems printing with any other Creative Suite files with this printer. Colors are accurate all the way around.
I read the forum and saw a lot of posting about Pantone colors, so I will try some of the suggestions related to Pantone issues. At the moment, I'm not at the location with the problem printer and can't try the suggestions until next week.
When I was at the location yesterday, we tried printing Pantone 5615 from Quark 7.5 and the color printed fine. Obviously, we don't want to use Quark on an ongoing basis for this project. It seems likely that it isn't a printer hardware problem since the Pantone color prints out fine from the Quark file. There seems to be a setting somewhere in Creative Suite that the printer at our one location doesn't like, or there is some setting on the printer that is different than the other printer. I don't think it's a network problem with the one printer versus the other printer because I would think Quark would then run into the same problem.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jason

I have the same issue with my 44" Z3100ps GP Photo, but it is when I print from Photoshop CS5. I am running OSX 10.68 and since the last Apple/HP printer driver update this last Summer my printer will not print solid black strokes or borders around an image, yet the image prints perfectly.
I tried to roll back the drivers with no success. If I make a solid black rectangler file and try print it nothing at all prints. If I scribble in Photoshop with white paint brush in the middle of that same file the printer skips the left edge of the black rectangle and then prints the middle scribbnle and right egde of the rectangle folowing the contour of the scribble on the left.
Had me baffled and still does, the printheads are in good working order. I print large canvas photos with 1.5" black borders used to cover the sides of stretched canvases. The only way I have found around this issue is to add an inch or so to the canvas size all the way around in photoshop and make it white. That seems to fool the printer into printing the file with the full black border. Still this is not a real fix, but at least it keeps my printer running.
Let me know if you find a solution to this. HP support doesn't help as they only give support to in warranty printers. Maybe Apple could help with the drivers?

PDF's won't print in Internet Explorer after upgrading to Adobe Reader 11.0.03

PDF's won't print in Internet Explorer 9 after upgrading to Adobe Reader 11.0.03.
The print dialogue box won't open....nothing happens.
Desktop OS is Windows 7 SP1.

Two obvious troubleshooting techniques are to delete and re-install the printer driver (or updating printer driver) and fixing the installation of Acrobat. Have you given those a try?

PDF's won't print using Reader 9.4.6

Have windows Windows XP OS, Adobe Reader 9.4.6. PDF's won't print, but all other types of docs print fine. Get error message "Pages not selected", although I've selected pages. Tried different printer, same problem. Tried to upgrade to 9.5, but got error message after 96% downloaded.

XP will run Adobe Reader 11.0.5: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
I'd suggest upgrading to the newest version.

Adobe reader shows text but won't print all the text

I have a form used by many and it works with no problem. Today one came in you could see all the text, but when printed, only some of the text appeared.
I checked it on 3 machines, also one that has Acrobat 9 on it, same results.
On the print setup, under comments and forms, I have Documents and Markup set, but if I click on "form field only" I do get the missing text.
As said we have gotten many forms from other people, no problems, so it really not for lack of knowing how to print it correctly.
The only print preview I can see I have is when I go to print it, it appears on the right, and it is missing the text there.
I have removed all name and address from the form for privacy reason, I did add my name in a few blocks and then saved it but it won't print that also.
for some reason only the top row under CPR AED and SFA print, but as you can see, there are a bunch that don't, along with all the names I removed.
Thanks in advance.
John
Any ideas?
Tuesday--still working on this, I activited the voice part of my acrobat 9 and it reads all the text while in PDF form, just won't print it.

Restarted computer and seems to be working again.

Acrobat Reader won't print

I installed OS 10.6 and now 10.6.1. Acrobat Reader 8 wouldn't print. Installed Acrobat Reader 9. Won't print. Canon MP530 printer gives this error message: "Unable to open raster stream. No such file or directory." No problem previously, with 10.5 and Acrobat Reader 8.

Solved my own problem; read the solution here:

Hope it works for all of you with different printers. The issue seems to be in the printer drivers, though.
