  • Printing doesn't select proper PPD

    When I select a printer in Illustrator, the PPD never updates to the correct PPD.
    I have to select another random printer and then reselect the printer I need...then the PPDpull down menu will refresh with the correct PPD.
    Is this not an auto function?... or is it common practice to have to scroll thru hundreds of PPD’s and select it manually?

    Do you have the correct ppd assigned in your OS?

  • Anyone know how to selecting a printer on 0S9?

    Hello,
    I have and application on OS9 that has some information that needs to be printed. For some reason the default printer is set to color stylus pro, a printer that I don't have and never hooked up to this laptop. I am unable to change the defalt printer to one of my own. I cant seem to find the proper menu for this operation. If someone could give me a little insight on how I might be able to solve this problem it would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Rodrick

    Hi, Rodrick -
    If you use Desktop Printing, click once on the icon of the printer you wish to use; a new menu, Printing, should appear in the menu bar. You can set that printer as the default one in that menu.
    I would also select the printer you want to use in Chooser, then close Chooser. Then open Extensions Manager control panel, and disable the Chooser Extension named Color StyleWriter; you can also disable all Chooser Extensions for other printers you will never connect to. Then restart.

  • Document could not be printed - no pages selected to print

    I am running into this well-known issue with several documents, but unfortunately none of the fixes I have come across have worked. Some background:
    -Using Windows 7 Pro
    -Happening with both Adobe Reader XI and Acrobat X, clean installs. and happening on multiple computers, with multiple printers, with multiple domain users.
    -Have tried repairing both installations, no success.
    -Have tried disabling protected view, changing size of the fit, letting printer determine colors, printing in greyscale, changing setting for "view documents in PDF/A mode" to "never."
    -Print as image works, but quality is unacceptable.
    -It seems to be isolated mainly to Xerox printers, as I have no issues printing to an HP printer. I am trying different models of Xeroxes with no success, however. I have reinstalled printer driver and verified updated driver for all, issue persists. Printer models are Xerox ColorQube 8700X and 9203
    -The PDFs are from different sources, so I can't pinpoint it to one website. Documents contain various financial info, so I can't post here. Any help would be appreciated. I'm probably going to have to try a different pdf reader for these, but that is not ideal, since multiple people need to print these and are comfortable using Adobe software.

    I was also receiving the message "The Document Could Not be Printed" I am on 10.6.4 with Acrobat 9.4.1. I did not get the second part of the message though "There were not pages selected to print". Anyway, I got mine to work by going to Preferences - Print & Fax. I selected my printer and clicked Options & Supplies. Under the driver tab I changed the "Print Using:" box to Generic PostScript Printer. I'm not sure if this is what you are supposed to do. I'm not an expert but it worked for me so I am going with it.

  • In Contacts version 8, how can I print ALL information in each individual card? When I select the print command the only thing printed is the name and address. I need phone number(s) and all other information in the cards.

    In Contacts version 8, how can I print ALL information in each individual card? When I select the print command the only thing printed is the name and address. I need phone number(s) and all other information in the cards. We enter various pieces of data, other than the standard name address & phone numbers and we print all information on each card so it fits in a 5x7 inch loose binder. We have used InTouch software for many years and it has served us extremely welll, however, the publisher (The Prairie Group) has not, and apparently has no plans to update their software to be compatible with any Mac OSX OS beyond 10.6. Any help will be appreciated!

    You can select what you want included in a list format. In the Print command from Contacts, click the Show Details button. Then in the Style pulldown menu select "Lists" and there you'll be able to select what you want included. You can also select what you wish included if you select the Pocket Address Book style.
    If neither of those options will work for you, then you will need to look to third-party software. Here's one possibility that seems to get good reviews:

    I haven't done more than try it to make sure that it works with OS X 10.9's Contacts, which it does, but you can download their demo and try it yourself.

  • Why can't I print a PDF file?  message says no pages selected to print

    When I try to print a PDF file I get two messages 'This document could not be printed.' Then 'There were no pages selected to print.'  How do I select a page to print?  or is there something else?

    What is your operating system?  Reader version?

  • How do I print all responses as pdf without selecting and printing just one response at a time?

    How do I print all responses as pdf forms without selecting and printing just one response at a time?

    Sorry this is not supported at this time. You can only download the responses as PDF one at a time.
    You can export the response table and print the whole table but if you want to print each response individually you have to do it manually. Sorry.

  • Can no longer print from Photoshop CS^ have upgraded drivers error message reads There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents."

    I have upgraded my iMac to Yosemite but now my two Canon Printers no longer print from Photoshop CS6. I have upgraded the drivers. All other applications including Lightroom are fine. I am receiving an error message as follows:"There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents." How can I get the OS to return a list of printers to Photoshop when Photoshop requests a list.

    Have you printed to this printer from 10.10 before?  If so, check your connections.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 - Cannot select color printing in settings

    I selected grayscale printing.  Now I want to print in color and cannot find how to print in color.  Option not found.

    Here's an answer - it might not match your setup though:
    OS: Windows 8.1
    Print Driver: HP Officejet Pro Full Feature Software and Driver, 2012-10-22 , Version28.8
    Bring up the HP Officejet Pro 8600 software and select Set Preferences under Print:
    Then on the Printing Prefrences dialog, press the Advanced button:
    And then on the Advanced Options dialog, turn off the option under Printer Features for Print in Grayscale:
    Hopefully that helps.

  • "The Document Could Not be Printed" "There were no pages selected to print"

    OSX 10.6.6
    Acrobat Pro 9.4.1
    I am getting this error when printed from certain PDF files. My best guess is it is a font conflict because if I change the font in the document and re-export the file the document prints fine. But changing the font (and it happens with multiple fonts) is not an option.
    Most of my documents are very large (up to 1,500 pages) and I use an InDesign plug in to merge data to create my PDFs.
    I can print the document out of InDesign CS3 without any problems. If I open the file in Apple's Preview it prints or if I log out and log back in under a different user it prints.
    But when this documents are printing out of acrobat I get those errors. It won't print to any of my mupliple printers (USB or network).
    Spent an hour on the phone with Adobe today and got no answers at all. They are telling me it a corrputed user issue. (that is only effected in acrobat when printing certain documents.... OK).
    With all the messing around I have done I'm guessing it has something to do with certain fonts during the export of the PDF from InDesign.
    If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, please let me know. I have been fighting with this issue for a while now and today it is causing a major issue.
    Just let me know if you need any additional information and thanks in advance for your help.

  • Printing web page with select tags in IE9 and a .cfm file-only the original selected option prints

    My web page has a select tag and cfselect tags and when I print the page with a different option other than the originally selected option the print for both types of select tags reverts back to the original selection and ignores the new selection.  This happens in IE9 and .cfm files but not when the page is printed in IE8 or IE7 modes (tried in the F12 Developer Tools.)  It also needs to be a .cfm file.  FireFox printed the pages correctly for any combination.
    This was done on a Dell and ThinkCentre computers under Windows 7.  Also, I was able to reproduce the same problem on an different university web site where a selection box would revert back to the original selection for printing on a .cfm page and would print properly on a .PHP page at the same site.
    For my site, I used a print button which calls print() and right clicked and chose print and got the same results no matter which method was used.  I only had the right click method on the third party web site.
    I know this is probably a bit narrow an issue but, any help would be appreciated.

    It appears that it is probably an IE9 bug.
    I simplified the problem by turning the page source taken from the brouser of the original .cfm into an html file and found that it would still print improperly.
    When I eliminated the various parts of the file I found that it would print correctly only when I removed the first line, the "DOC type" line.
    The page will print the newly selected option but then I lose the style sheet.
    If it does not work in an HTML file it must be IE.  It is not the .cfm.  The reason that it did not work for .cfm files, is that they always have a "DOC type" statement.
    I have put the issue into an MSDN forum in addition to the one mentioned previously.

  • Adobe Acrobat X Pro on Mac does not select duplex print by default

    I have Adobe Acrobat X Pro 10.1.8 for Mac. When I print a document, Acrobat does not select duplex print (i.e. "Print on both sides") by default. While I can manually select duplex print, I don't understand why this isn't the default option here as in every other application. Just for reference, here is a screen shot of my default print screen:
    I have played around with duplex printing in the advanced properties of PDF's. I have also played around with the DuplexMode property in the com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro.plist file. Actually, there is no DuplexMode property in the file, but I tried making one, which didn't solve the problem. There is a printBookletDuplexMode property but that doesn't seem to make a different. In any case, nothing has worked.
    There are some similar questions on the forums, but they are either slightly different or haven't been answered. Is this such a difficult issue?
    Thanks for any help,
    Jonathan
    Message was edited by: jondaman21. Small clarification to what I've tried.

    I agree with your statement; even for a particular document, if I choose to "Print on both sides" and then print again immediately after, "Print on both sides" will be deselected.
    However, I'm not sure what you're implying by you're statement. I'm asking precisely why this setting isn't sticky. Acrobat uses a non-standard printer dialog; in the usual dialog I can easily set a defualt duplex setting. I almost always want to print duplex. Why can't I do this by default in Acrobat?

  • How to select the Printer in Oracle Reports 6i R2 (Windows 7)

    Hi,
    In a client site they have more than one printer suppose one is dot matrix and other one is laser printer or some other brands.
    They take printouts in both. Recently I installed Oracle Forms & Reports 6i R2 Runtimes in some Windows 7 32 bit PCs. In those PCs, its not allow to choose the printer, it print with windows default printer.
    So Is there any way to give an option to select the printer...??
    Thank You.

    Client/Server version:
    - D2KWUTIL.PLL library provides a 'Select Printer' dialog box to be used in Forms: WIN_API_DIALOG.SELECT_PRINTER
    http://guenter-huerkamp.dyndns.org/oracle-doc/docs/html/d2kwutil.html
    I suggest you to create a form to invoke the report, allowing user to select the printer and then pass it as parameter DESNAME

  • There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents. Error message in PhotoShop CC

    Printing from PS CC worked fine today. I made no changes to preferences. In between working with 2 projects, the first one printed fine, the second gave me this Error Message.
    There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents.
    Now I've checked for updates for my printer, reset my printer, reset PS CC preferences, picked my printer as Default and Last Used, and rebooted. I've followed all the recommended fixes for this issue I could find here and on the internet. I can print fine from any other program. Alas, the error message keeps popping up and I can't print.
