Unable to print directly to PDF Printer Driver on Windows Vista

I'm having problems printing directly to my PDF printer drivers - neither "Adobe PDF" nor "Adobe PDF Converter" seems to work. The printer either gives me an error or when it asks me to save it to a folder, it seems to send the file into the atmosphere! I have Acrobat 8 Professional (Adobe CS3) on a Windows Vista Premium operating system. I tried downloading the Adobe distiller file "Winsteng.exe" but got an error when I tried to install it. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated, as this is really frustrating! Thanks in advance.

What kind of file are you trying to print? Is this a recent issue or was it happening earlier as well? Repairing your Acrobat installation will definitely help you.
Also Can you share your screen shot of the following dailogs:
1) Printers and Faxes
2) Printing Preferences... (Go to Printers and Faxes->Right click on Adobe PDF Printer->Printing Preferences...)
3) Advanced Options (Go to Printers and Faxes->Right click on Adobe PDF Printer->Printing Preferences...->Paper/Quality->Advanced...)
4) Advanced Properties (Go to Printers and Faxes->Right click on Adobe PDF Printer->Properties->Advanced Tab)
5) Advanced Properties (Go to Printers and Faxes->Right click on Adobe PDF Printer->Properties->Ports Tab)

Adobe ps printer driver for windows vista. Where can I get it?

I need Adobe ps printer driver for windows vista. Where can i get it? Plz help me. If yes, then where and if no, why?
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks.

The Acrobat printer produces a PS file that is then sent to the Distiller process to create a PDF. The other PPD you mention is something I know nothing about. However, why would you want to use a different driver? The Adobe PDF driver is optimized for use in creating PDF files and other routes may not produce as good of a result. If the other PPD produces a PDF, then why are you asking about the Adobe driver?

Unable to print from my window vista 32 bit laptop to HP deskjet ink advantage 1515

I have window 32 bit vista system. I installed my new HP deskjet ink advantage 1515 , but I am not able to print. I tried install and uninstall many times, run HP Print and scan doctor. No problem reported in installation but failed to print.
Pls help

Hello @HarpreetS , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you're running into print issues. I would like to help.
Do you recieve any sort of error messages?
I would suggest Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once it is uninstalled, I would suggest putting your system into clean boot mode within the Microsoft configuration. You can do so by following this document: How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
Once the computer is in clean boot mode, I would suggest reinstalling the HP Deskjet 1510 e-All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Drivers.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

All,
A very interesting NOTE to this thread. In order to try and get the "ignore permissions" box to show up in GET INFO (so I could execute Matt the Magician's solution to file sharing issues)-- I ran the terminal command for disabling ACLs on my internal HD / start up disk (as indicated in the linked thread to BDAqua's forum).
Although I understand that this was useless for disabling permissions on the start up disk (as everyone here pointed out) and allowing me to see the "ignore permissions" check box - somehow it did seem to fix my file sharing problem...and that was the root problem I wanted solved in the first place! After doing the terminal command and a quick reboot, I went in and tested file sharing on the chosen directory and I can create new files or work from existing files in the directory, with both users being able to modify / and save from both machines and each machine sees the revisions and can build from them. Bottom line - I'm stoked and want to thank everyone for their help.
The only other tweak I made was going over to my wife's machine and instead of using her log in / password, I just used my name and password to connect to my main machine that was sharing directories. Maybe that's what fixed the problem or the ACL disable but either way...I'm up and running the way I want to be.
Hope this thread helps anyone else who has these file sharing / permissions issues with Leopard. Especially for anyone wanting to do such a simple file sharing set up between 2 computers. I wish I understood exactly which tweak fixed the problem, but at least it works the way I want now.
So happy to be done w/this one!
Thx everyone. Any additional input on what solved it is welcome, so my curiosity is quelled...

N91 driver issue ~ Windows vista !

Hey there !
N91 driver issue ~ Windows vista !
i recently upgraded my OS fro XP pro to vista ultimate,
carrying all the program files and settings,
but then the nokia pc suite in vista didn't recognize or load drivers for N91, when connected as
(1.) pc sync
(2.) USB hdd.
so in -all pc suite wasn't running.
so i uninstalled and re-installed pc suite,
now it does connect and loads drivers when connected as
(1.) pc sync
but doesn't loads drivers (keeps on searching~ from CD and windows update) as a USB HDD,
so I can't drag and drop my files in it.
any solution to this !

The combination is complicated - VISTA / PCSuite 6.83...
Both are not reference of good behavior.
On Vista, miss a lot of drivers, even for N91, and PCSuite 6.83 is unstable and unreliable. So maybe, you don´t have a problem, and need to leave with that until both, or at least one of then have an upgrade.

HP Cloud Print Driver for Windows Server 2003?

Hello,
I have a unique (complicated) situation that I am trying to find a solution for.
Here is the deal,
My company is trying to set up a temporary remote branch location inside a building where we are unable to wire a network. Our solution is to use a wireless hotspot. Connected to this hotspot, we will have an iPad and an HP Laserjet M525.
The iPad will be connecting to our Citrix environment over VPN through Citrix Receiver to deliver a desktop interface to the iPad. This is needed to access a few applications that are used at the branch.
The problem now is printing, AirPrint wont work because the iPad is on VPN (and its at a windows interface, not the iPad's).
I had the idea of using the HP printers built in ePrint function to print, so I set that up. So now sending at email to [email protected] prints to the HP printer attached to the wireless hotspot.
Emaling to print works, but ideally, I would like this printer to show up in the Windows Devices and Printers, so that the user can just click print, choose the HP printer, and it will print, (with a delay obviously as its sending an email).
So I downloaded the HP ePrint Windows Driver, which has to be installed on the main Citrix servers so that the users session can grab the printer and use it, turns out the driver doesnt work on Windows Server 2003.
My first attempt at a workaround was Google Cloud Print, which was fairly simple to connect to HP ePrint, but apparently the Google Cloud Print Driver doesnt work on Windows Server 2003 either.
Is there a version of the HP ePrint Driver out there that works on Windows Server 2003?
tldr:
I would like to print to a remote HP printer that is connected to a wifi hotspot from our internal network. I need whatever software I download to be compatible with Server 2003.
I understand this is over complicated but thanks for any input.

I believe I understand your issue. You would like to use a print driver to print to your HP ePrint enabled printer from your apps that are hosted by Citrix server. While I believe this makes perfect sense, HP does not have a print driver that officially supports MS TS or Citrix that also supports the ePrint Cloud path. The reason for this is the ePrint windows driver is a "dynamic" print driver (similar to HP UPD dynamic mode) that handles multiple print paths (tcp/ip, wireless direct, cloud, etc) in a single driver instance by dynamically changing the port the print queue is bound to so the port is specific to the delivery path. For example, if printing to a network printer it will use a MS Standard tcp/ip port. If printing to the ePrint cloud a custom port is used, etc. Well, if you have lots of Citrix users trying to print to a single print queue, but to different destinations, the users would be colliding with each other when they print by having the driver trying to change the print queue to different print ports at the same time.
What you could do is install an ePrint print queue on the citrix server if you can control the access to that queue to just your local branch users. Also, if you only have on ePrint enabled printer the situation is even better as only one port will be needed by that queue. You can find the ePrint software at www.hp.com/go/eprintsoftware You might want to download the version of the driver that supports XP as Windows 2003 is very similar print system.
NOTE: this is not a supported environment for this driver. You would be using it without warrenty or support and no promises are being made here.
Good luck if you choose this path and please post back the results. Thanks!
