Trying to print causes programs to crash, HELP!

I have MacBook pro 2.2Gz 15.4" with 10.5.2 running. I recently returned home from university and am now using my laptop at home again. I needed to print a pdf from my computer on my mom's printer. I've had no problems doing this in the past, so I proceeded as normal; I opened it in Preview, I pressed print, clicked add printer, and found her shared printer on the list. Then the program crashed, giving me this error:
http://i30.tinypic.com/29lfybt.jpg
Now every single time I try to print from preview it crashes and gives me that error. I just tried printing from Camino, and it worked once, and then proceeded to crash the program every time. I tried from microsoft word, and it crashed too. I used spotlight to search for that plugin, as well as looked in my plugins folder, and I can't find anything.
HELP!

bump, can anyone help? I cant print anymore.

  • Adobe PDF printer causes programs to crash

    Hi, one of my users is having trouble using her Adobe PDF printer.  Sporadically whenever she prints to Adobe PDF it locks up the application that was trying to print and she has to force-quit.  Any suggestions?

  • Lightroom 4 importing causing program to crash.

    Lightroom 4 will not import files. Windows 7 pop-up states; "there is a problem with this program that is preventing it from running correctly will check for solution". "Windows failed to find a solution must shut down program now".
    This prevents the import page from loading or working and no images can be imported using usb or SATA connections. Was able to use computer's built-in card-reader to read from Sd and compact cards, those were able to run in the import window only because of preference setting. "when a Memory card is installed import files" (preference-setting).  Any other means of importing files, the out-come is the program crashing and being shut down. All other functions outside the import menu seem to be working. Deleting all catalogs and then using the default catalog setting,  failed to clear issue.
    System info: Windows 7 64-bit, Intel i7 cpu, 16 gigs of ram, 4 one terabyte hard-drives.
    Solutions tried. Removing Lightroom 4, all catalogs, then running defrag, registry cleaner, before attempting to re-installing lightroom 4.  Removing lightroom 4 and installing lightroom 3.6 fails to fix issue. Removing all Lightroom products from hardrive,Including the windows program folder, windows programs data folder. Then rebooting re-running defrag, registry cleaner and re-installing lightroom 4 fails to fix importing issue. No way to contact support and links to user group fail to take me to correct user group. Question with the lead as lightroom 4 importing causes program to crash. Takes me to everything but lightroom solutions!  Now this takes me to photoshop user group which has nothing to do with lightroom. With lightroom 4 in the question itself, I get everything but lightroom solutions!

    Camera raw is built into Lightroom. It is the engine that makes the corrections within an image. You might not see as a seperate program, like earlier versions of Lightroom. Or having to launch it in a new window to work in camera raw. In version 4 of Lightroom it was made seamless and built into Lightroom.
    Lightroom 4 was installed in the admin log-in window. I have all useage rights to any file lightroom creates or adjusts. I am thinking that the Photoshop CS6 beta created some working problem within Lightroom 4. Now that the beta-test program is over, I think the problem is a result of removing Photoshop's last build, before the public beta was released. I do hope, Adobe is working on a solution for people experiencing importing problems with Lightroom 4. I am just grabbing at straws here, trying to find something that will work. I think the problem will go away once computer has the new camera raw build 7.0 that ships in Photoshop CS6. With so many versions of camera raw installed on the computer, I think Lightroom is having issues as a result. Let's hope a patch is in the works, Lightroom 4 is useless if importing files doesn't work correctly.
    B&H photo is taking pre-orders for the creative suites, right now. The only way to get support is by purchasing a subscription. Otherwise it is a $35.00 per issue fee. So, I am not sure of what upgrade path I will take. Not loving the cloud at all, with this year of Hackers, I seriously doubt that any cloud will prove to be safe to use. Why would, I want to post my hard work to a cloud where anyone can steal it? But that is a different topic.
    For right now the only way to import is by creating an empty folder on the same hard-drive that Lightroom resides on. Setting up auto-import in Lightroom Pref. file to check that empty folder. Folder has to be empty to set up. Then dragging image files into that empty folder. I discovered that Lightroom 4 will not open or look in sub-folders for images. Which means you lose keeping a day's worth of shooting seperate from other folders. Where Lightroom version 3.6 you could.There was a second auto-import that worked, with my built-in memory-card reader. Where in the Lightroom pref.file you can tell Lightroom to auto-import, when a memory-card is detected. ( this is the least viable option, because more memory card become damaged removing and reinstalling them). These were the only two methods, I could get images into Lightroom 4 and prevent Lightroom from crashing.  Might have to go back to using Nikon NX to import my images and using Bridge to catalog them.

  • Printing causes macpro to crash/restart

    printing causes macpro to crash/restart

    OK, I understand borderless printing is not supported on plain paper, but I don't think a hard crash is an acceptable result.
    I can live with the minimize margins turned on but that opens up another documented bug where the last line to line and a half are not printed on the last sheet in a print set, If you are only printing one sheet at a time than every sheet will be missing this print. Has HP come up with or even looked into why this is happening?
    Thanks,

  • Photomerge CS5 causes program to crash!

    Trying new CS5 on brand new laptop but each time I try and use photomerge it causes photoshop to crash. Trying uninstall and reinstall but still happens.
    System:
    Windows 7 64bit
    Intel i7 - 2630QM 2nd gen
    Nvidia Geforce GT540M 2GB
    8GB Ram

    Any ideas? tried to find answer but nothing helpful as yet?

    Well, one other possibility is that it's having trouble accessing your scratch or TEMP areas.
    Ensure your username has Full Control privileges on the root folder(s) of the drive(s) you have identified as Scratch, as well as the folder identified by your TEMP environment variable.  Try running Photoshop "As Administrator" first to see if permissions/UAC are involved with the problem.
    Lastly, double check on nVidia.com that you have nVidia's latest display drivers.  For what it's worth, it seems like an inordinately large number of Quadro users report problems with display drivers, while you'd think nVidia should do an especially good job for such an expensive video card.

  • HP C4680--Won't print, causes OS to crash

    Hi, all. I have a week-and-a-half old HP C4680 printer. I have been almost totally unable to use it for printing at all, since every time I attempt to print OS X 10.5.8 freezes up about two pages in, the printer stops, and I get a "need to restart your computer" message. This happens when trying to print from Word or Preview (I haven't tried printing from any other programs yet). I have been able to use the machine to scan without incident, though. I have updated all of the drivers, checked for any OS X updates, etc. Wondering if this is a known issue for anyone or if there are any suggestions to help me get this working before I give up and take the thing back! Thanks!

    Hi zmogy,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I understand you are unable to print on the 10.9.
    I will be happy to help you.
    The HPPrinterDriver2.16.1 is the latest HP printing and scanning software for OS X Mountain Lion, OS X Lion and Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard.
    Plug the printer directly into the 10.9 computer and run the Apple Updates to install the Apple drivers.
    OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac.
    Test the printing.
    I can't guarantee it will print over the server.
    Hope this helps.
    Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
    Have a nice day!

  • Two problematic emails - cause program to crash if i try to delete or move them in any way

    RE: Ipad email issues
    I have two problematic emails that seem to be empty. I cannot delete them. They cause the email program to crash each time I attempt to read, delete or file them.

    Try this:
    First create an empty folder...no photos in it...now, connect your phone and under the photos tab select sync photos & select this folder. Since there is nothing in it, no photos will be added to your phone, but hopefully this will remove the photos that are on your phone.

  • Trying to print causes browser and programs to crash using Deskjet all-in-one F4280

    Whenever i attempt to print anything, it immediately closes down whatever page i have open. If i try to print from the net, it closes my browser... try to print from word, it closes the program. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the printer a couple times now hoping it would solve the problem, but it still does the same thing. As you can imagine this is getting very frustrating! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Changing printing presets causes programs to crash

    I print documents from several programs: MS Word, preview, Adobe, OpenOffice, and Pages, among others. I have several printing presets saved to handle different printing jobs. The presets include paper feed, picture quality, information like that.
    For some reason, whenever I try to change presets, the program I am in suddenly quits. It happens in every program and every file type - word processing doc, JPEG, PDF, whatever.
    Any idea what is happening? I have no idea where to start. If I try to edit the presets, any program quits and changes are not saved. Is there a master file of my presets that is corrupted? If so, could I just delete that file and re-create my presets? Or is there something else? Any help is greatly appreciated.
    thanks

    Printer presets are saved in your user Library (aka ~/Library) in a folder called Preferences and will be named "com.apple.print.custompresets.forprinter.printername.plist". So you can try trashing these files to see if that helps.

  • WebKit causing programs to crash...?

    I'm using an intel-based Macbook Pro (2.33GHz core 2 duo, 3 GB RAM) with OS X 10.5.8. I recently upgraded to Lightroom 3 and Photoshop CS5, and just a couple of weeks ago downloaded the 12.0.1 PS update.
    PS started crashing on me a lot. It happens in HDR Pro or when I'm using the new Mixer Brush. Sometimes just trying to get PS to merge images in HDR Pro will do it (I never even get to the editor), sometimes I get the editor, but it crashes before I can finish the edit and create the tone-mapped image. When using the mixer brush, I can work for 30 or 40 minutes sometimes, and then PS is gone. I posted the crash reports on Adobe's CS5 forum. and the employee who responded said the reports are different (always thread 0 that crashes, but the crash seems to be different), it means the heap is being corrupted but they couldn't tell where or when from the crash reports. End of discussion, unfortunately.
    It was then that I discovered that Lightzone wouldn't start. It said it "encountered an internal error." It didn't matter if anything else was running or not, and I haven't been able to get it up since (all this in the past 2 weeks). Lightcrafts asked to see the log file Lightzone keeps, and said the log indicates the problem is in WebKit. They wanted to know if I was using a Safari beta, which I'm not. I got back on the Adobe forum and asked if PS uses WebKit, which it does.
    I re-installed Lightzone, in case something had been corrupted in the file. No help. And it seems a bit unlikely that all this (both LZ and PS crashing) would be unrelated. It also seems unlikely to me that PS could do anything to the system that would permanently change it so another program couldn't start (even after restarting the computer several times and PS--or anything else I'm aware of--not up and running). So now it's looking like the OS.
    I have my system set to automatically check for updates, and I don't pay too close attention, only to glance at it and note that it is a system update, or iTunes, or a security update, or...), so I don't remember if OS X was updated recently. However, is some recent update to WebKit causing my programs to fail?
    Thanks,
    Michael

    A further update… My wife found a site where others were complaining about various problems after upgrading to Snow Leopard. I had not been looking at sites complaining about Snow Leopard, because I didn’t upgrade and am still using Leopard (10.5.8). But, any port in a storm. The site mentioned two possible solutions others had used. The first was to safe boot and then try to use the program that had been failing (I’m not sure trying to use the offending program has anything to do with it—I think it’s just the safe boot that’s important). If it worked, then boot normally and try to use the program again. I did this, and Lightzone has been opening fine ever since. Also, oddly, Photoshop has stopped crashing on me.
    The site says that what’s happening is that all the permissions are being re-written on safe boot. Kind of makes sense for Lightzone, which couldn’t even open, but is harder to see fro PS. Maybe it’s about permission to access memory, which seems odd. Well, I wouldn’t really know either way, but it seems to have worked.

  • Why does PSE 10 Landscape Panorama feature cause program to crash?

    I've used this feature for a long time, but now it no longer works. Every time I try to invoke it, the program crashes. Other features seem to work fine, but the landscape panorama does not. I've tried repairing the installation, I've uninstalled/reinstalled, but neither has solved the issue. I'd appreciate any suggestions or ideas--thanks!

    Try making a direct shortcut for the Editor.
    On Windows, Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
    Then click the browse button and navigate to:
    "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
    Then click Next; then click Finish.
    To launch, try right-clicking on the new desktop icons and choose “Run As Administrator” which often improves stability.

  • Rented movies cause itunes to crash - help please

    When I try to play a rented movie, itunes crashes and I get the error message 'iTunes has stopped working'. According to the log, the error is caused by QuickTimeH264.qtx
    Using the latest versions of iTunes and Quicktime. I've tried deleting the SC Info folder as suggested on another post, but no luck.
    This happened a few weeks ago and after trying various things it seemed to fix itself and the movie played fine. Since then I've watched two movies with no issues. Then tonight, back to the same problem.
    It's particularly frustrating as the 48 countdown has started even though the movie crashed right away.

    On sugestion from Apple, I've uninstalled quicktime and reinstalled from a new download and the problem has gone.
