Unable to print from Illustrator or InDesign (CS2)

I havent installed CS3 yet, but will when able. For now, I need CS2 to function.
First in Acrobat, then InDesign, and now in Illustrator, if I go to print (either File > Print or my using keyboard shortcut), the program just hangs indefinitely. The only way out is to force quit.
Ive searched every conceivable combination of terms in these forums for this problem, but turn up nothing. Please dont tell me this is posted elsewhere unless you are also able to include a link to the other posts. Thank you!

Have you reset the preferences for the apps? For ID, hold down Cmd-Shift-Option-Control as you restart and say yes to resetting the preferences. For Acrobat and Illustration trash the preferences folders in Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/Acrobat and/or Adobe Illustrator CS. Do this with the apps closed. Have you done the usual disk cleanup like starting from the OS startup disk and repairing permissions and something like MacJanitor to do the normal OS log cleanups?

  • I am unable to print from Illustrator CS3 since downloading os x Mavericks

    Since downlaoding OS X Mavericks, I am unable to print from Illustrator CS3. Is there a fix for this?

    I fixed it! After searching I found a workaround:
    The following workaround can be applied to get these older versions of Illustrator and InDesign to print on this newer operating system. Remove the following files and back them up:

  • I'm unable to print from illustrator running os x mavericks

    Why can't I print from illustrator? I don't have a problem from other apps. just illustrator. I downloaded new drivers for both of my printers an HP Deskjet D1600 and an Epson Stylus Photo 1400. Anyone know of a fix? This first happened when I upgraded to OS X Mavericks. I got a fix and everything worked. Then I installed a Silhouette Cameo (vinyl cutter machine) now I can't print from Illustrator again. Anyone have any ideas or a fix?

    Never mind. Found the fix. These got reinstalled and need to be removed. Ugh!

  • Jagged vector graphics from Illustrator in Indesign

    Using CS3, Leopard, have all updates.
    I'm having problems with vector graphics created in Illustrator getting jagged when dragged from Illustrator to Indesign (or copied and pasted or placed as Illustrator file). They look jagged (stair stepped) in InDesign, also in Acrobat after exporting a pdf, and after printing. The vector image in question is a rectangle with rounded corners with an "Envelope Distort - make with warp" applied to it. Is the problem that I'm trying to drag an envelope distorted graphic into InDesign? Are there settings to make this work?

    "They look jagged (stair stepped) in InDesign, also in Acrobat after exporting a pdf, and after printing."
    Doesn't sound like a screen preview issue to me.
    If a placed AI file has jagged edges on print and in PDF, but looks good in Illy, then something is amiss. Your transparency settings could be set to rasterize the line art. Make sure you're using one of the canned flattener presets (high, med, low) if there is any transparency in your page (little checkered icon by the page icon in the page palette).

  • Why can't I print from Illustrator a non-faded print. It always prints as if I wanted a  proof or something.

    YOu have not provided any system info, version info or details about your printer. This is not going anywhere beyond stating the obvious - your system is not color managed.

  • Different Colors when printing from Photoshop and InDesign CS3

    Different Colors when printing from Photoshop and InDesign CS3
    I have the following problem:
    When printing from Photoshop or InDesign to a PostScript printer, Adobe recommends to let Photoshop handle the colors (I use the German version, so I don't know the exact term used, it changes slightly in all CS3 apps anyway).
    The manufacturer however told me to let the PostScript printer handle the colors.
    When I chose this option in Ps's print dialog and then choose ISO Coated as the printer pfofile, the results are fine.
    But when I place the exact same image in an InDesign file and print from InDesign or export to PDF and print via Acrobat, again using "Printer handles colors", the results are the exact same as if I had used Ps and chosen to let Ps handle the colors (way too saturated and a bit too red).
    ·Photoshop CS3
    ·InDesign CS3
    ·Test image is a TIFF in CMYK Fogra 27 Coated (which is also the working color space in Ps and ID.
    ·Printer: Xerox Docucolor 3535
    ·Printer profile: ISO Coated
    How can I make sure the printer handles the colors in other CS3 apps than Ps? I tried it with ID's print dialog (translated from the German version: Color Management > Options > Color Handling: PostScript-printer decides colors).
    Thanks a lot!

    RE: "You don't indicate what Xerox printers you have"
    In my first post I named it, is that the information you need?
    Docucolor 3535 using Splash 3535
    That's interesting, so I have to find a way to turn off the printer's Color Management function? I mailed them, hope they can tell me how to do it easily. They usually just tell me to not use any profiles and so on, but that's the general rule in this area, I'm really tired of hearing it. Everybody seems to think profiles and LAB mode are nuclear science and I should stay away from it.
    Anyway, the test image I'm using is a simple photograph (size A3, 300dpi), so no transparencies at all. I'm placing this image into an equally large ID file and print it from ID, then export it to PDF-X/3 and print it from Acrobat. Hope that helps.

  • Since upgrading to v 4.01 I am unable to print from a .pdf opened in the browser. How can I fix this?

    Since upgrading to v 4.01 I am unable to print from a .pdf opened in the browser. How can I fix this?
    I can save the page, open in Adobe Reader and print. When in the browser the File - Print command does nothing. Printer screen does not open.
    Windows XP, all updates installed.

    Hi,
    One thing to slow it down: low ink. Please check ink cartridges and replace if required.
    Regards.

  • Can't Print from Illustrator Anymore

    just out of the blue, can't print from Illustrator CS3 or 4 to an epson 3800. Had the printer and computer for over a year, Vista 64, never had an issue, printed hundreds of pages with this printer and various Adobe products, then bam, out of the blue, this problem.
    Uninstalled and reinstalled drivers, 4 times now!
    I can print test page from the Windows dialog in add/remove printers.
    From Illustrator I have tried different pdf and ai documents, same thing. Printing hangs, nothing comes out, and most frustrating, I can't delete the print job and have to reboot to print another page.
    I can print from the following with no problems:
    Photoshop CS4
    Microsoft Word 2004
    Firefox
    Sketchup
    Vectorworks (CAD)
    ect.
    Just never in Illustrator

    try dumping your preferences
    go to Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe Illustrator CS4 settings, drag this file out to the desktop and then try printing, also make certain the file is on your local machine and not a server.

    I had Cs2 and Office for Mac 2004 installed on an OS 10.6.3 system. Worked fine. This weekend my computer did an auto update to OS 10.6.8 and now I cannot save or print from any office or CS2 Apps. What happened. Office also freezes and I have to force quit. Any advise. System or Software problem?

    Bad timing.  Reapply the security update:

    What happened is that version 1.0 of the security update was available for a bit of time this weekend, and that disabled Rosetta.  Version 1.1 brought it back.

    I am using reader 11.0.10.32 in Win7 Professional 64 bit.  I am unable to print from Reader.  After selecting print all pages, the progress bar goes through the proper page count. After that a pop up window appears with the message: The document could not be printed.  After pressing the OK button that pop up closes and the next pop up window appears with the message: There were no pages selected to print.  After pressing the OK button, the pop up closes and the pdf document is still visible in Reader.
    I can print from other programs to that printer.  I can print from Reader to other printers.
    I was able to print to all printers before.  I uninstalled Reader and reinstalled it from the Adobe web site.
    Any suggestions to make it print?
    Thanks.
