Unable to Print, only Print To File, w/o the printing.

When I open up a PDF and try to print I am unable to print. The printing window pops up, and you can choose your print, but when I press the 'print' button, a window opens for Print To File, and when you save, nothing happens.
I have tried restarting the computer, upgrading, and even unistalling and reinstalling. I cannot figure it out!

Look for the "print to file" option in the print menu and deselect it.

Unable to pickup/pull Oracle(.fmx files) forms in the web site.

Hi all
We want to migrate from oracle 9i t0 10g. every thing is working fine, web page, forms, reports individually. But when oracle forms(.fmx) files included in the web page ,unable to pull/pickup the oracle forms files in the web page.
I really appreciate your support
Chaitanya

I'm with Andreas on this one - what exactly are you trying to accomplish? I see you are new to the Oracle Forums so I recommend you take a look at the following:
<ul>
<li>Before posting on this forum please read
<li>10 Commandments for the OTN Forums Member
<li>Announcement: Forums Etiquette / Reward Points
</ul>
Following these guidelines will make your posts more meaningful and help us help you! ;-)
I "think" you simply want instructions on how to take your Forms 6i application and migrate it to a web deployed Forms 10g application. Is this right? If so, there is a lot of things you need to do.
<ul>
<li>First: Must have a Database server, Application Server and a Forms Services Server. These can all be on the same server or seperate
<li>Second: Your Forms 6i binaries (.fmb) must be converted to Forms 10g binaries (check out Using the Oracle Forms Migration Assistant
<li>Third: Your Forms 10g binaries will need to be compiled on your new server (mentioned first).
</ul>
Hope this helps,

I am unable to print PDF's using either Adobe Reader or Safari. In Adobe Reader, I get an error message from my Cannon printer that says, "/usr.libexec/cups/filter/pstocupsraster failed". In Safari, I can only print the first page of a PDF.

To try to resolve this problem, I have done the following actions.
1 - I have run Disk Warrior.
2 - I have repaired permissions.
3 - I have deleted all plist that are either Cannon or Adobe.
4 - I have downloaded and installed the lastest versions of Adobe Reader and the Cannon printer drivers.
I am still unable to print PDF's.
In Safari, I can print only the first page. In a multipage PDF, Safari only seems to recognize the first page.
In Adobe Reader, I get an error message from my printer: "/usr/libexec/cups/filter/pstocupsraster failed".
Any help would be greatly appreicated!

Quit Safari.
Open the Library folder in your home folder as follows:
☞ If running OS X 10.7 or later, hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar.
☞ If running an older version of OS X, select Go ▹ Go to Folder… from the Finder menu bar and copy the line below into the text box that opens:
~/Library
Delete the following items from the Library folder:
Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Preferences/com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist
Preferences/QuickTime Preferences
Relaunch Safari and test.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Select "/var/log/cups/error_log" from the file list. Post the messages from the time of the last printing attempt.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.

Unable to print some illustrator-files

Hi,
•The problem:
I have some illustrator-files I can't print. I already tried a lot of different things to make it print (more info below).
The files I have problems with all use patterns (non-standard pattern-swatches). 1 group of files use a jpg-pattern, another group vector patterns.
The ones with the vector-pattern won't print at all (print spools to printer, printer rips the file (I checked it on the printer) after that nothing happens anymore, it does't get in the joblist). The files with the jpg-pattern prints only 1 of 4 pages after more than an hour of processing. All files are multipage files. Filesizes are between 20MB and 80MB. It's only a minority of files with problems.
•Illustrator version:
I'm using CS5, some colleagues use CS4/CS3.
•What I've tried, all unsuccessful:
ai:
-Flattening the layers.
-Deselected “Create PDF Compatible File”.
-Used the“delete unused palette items”-action.
-I'm unable to select “Print as Bitmap” while printing under advanced (it appears grey).
pdf:
-Saving as PDF (helped with a few files)
     Tried different settings:
     -Deselecting “Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities”
     -Different pdf-standard (PDF/X-...)
     -Different compression-settings: average downsampling to 600ppi/300ppi/150ppi/..., compression: zip, also tried jpeg.
-Tried printing the pdf-files with Adobe Acrobat Pro and Apple Preview.
-Used advanced>PDF Optimizer in Adobe Acrobat Pro.
•Printer-info:
Both netwerk-printers, both Konica Minolta.
Use Fiery Image Controllers.
One's a bizhub C450, the other one's a bizhub C360.
Used another, more professional printer (bizhub Pro C6500) too for one of the vector-pattern files, with no result.
Most recent drivers are installed.
•Works, but not a good solution for everyone:
Exporting to jpg, with “use artboards” selected, max. quality.
This works, for CS4 and CS5 this works more or less fine, but in my understanding CS3 can't work with multiple artboards, so that's a real hassle (copy/paste to single pages then export every pages...) So I'm hoping for a normal, more elegant company-wide solution. It's a minority of the files, but still enough to be a serious problem.
Thank in advance for the help!

Thanks for your reply Mike!
I think you're on to something. The pattern could indeed be to complex for our printers, so rasterizing will be our only option in that case.
The controller for the C6500's specs are:
Intel Core2 Duo E6400 • 2MBL2Cache • 2.13 GHz Clock Speed • 1GBDDRSDRAM
• 1,066 MHz Front Side Bus • 160 GB Hard Disk • DVD/CD-RW
Image of the pattern:
When I said jpeg-pattern, I meant a jpeg I embedded and use as a pattern. So embedded the image (placed, deselected link option), dragged it into my swatch library, and used that pattern. I'll try a psd instead and see if it helps.
Just out of curiosity, as what is an image embedded in illustrator? I noticed before that illustrator embeds them as something else heavier then a jpeg, but couldn't wrap my head around it, is there any way to make embedded images lighter (compress them or something).
Thx for your help!

Unable to print to file in adobe acrobat 9 pro, windows 7 OS

ok, so i've been having this problem since 16/1/2012. I download a pdf file from online, open it and attempted to combine multiple slides into 1 slide like below:
my printer cannot print duplex so i have to combine multiple slides to 1 in order to print that way. anyways, i always select the option of "Adobe PDF" under the "Printer" box. I don't change anything else. I am then prompted to save the file as below:
so after that i click "Save" and they gave me this warning message.
in case you cannot see what's written in the dialogue box, here's what it says:
When you create a PostScript file, you must rely on system fonts and use document fonts.
Please go to printer properties, "Adobe PDF Settings" page and turn OFF the option "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts."
I click "Ok" and another message appears:
I click "OK" and then another message appears:
So i clicked "OK" again and then nothing happens. After I followed the instructions to rely on system fonts, I tried doing it agian and everything seems ok. Flattening document etc like below:
and when it has finished, nothing happens. No new pdf window pops up (like what it usually does). So I went to check the folder where I stored the file. This was what i saw:
it turns out the file I just saved have no Adobe pdf icon appearing next to it. Instead, its document type is merely "File". When I tried opening it with Adobe reader, I got another dialogue box as below:
The dialogue box's text is as follows:
Acrobat could not open [file name] because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
To create an Adobe PDF document, go to the source application. Then print the document to Adobe PDF.
I do not know why the file is supposedly corrupted because it works well on other computers and it can be printed as well. Does anyone know how I can solve this problem? It's really urgent and I desperately need to print my PDF files for my lessons and exams (I'm a student). It was uploaded on my school's website and PDF is the only available format. This is the first time it has happened and I am getting really frustrated. And it is not only for this 1 file. Since the 16th, EVERY pdf file i've opened has encountered this problem. Which is why I need to know how to solve this. Thank you in advance.
Would appreciate it if someone can help answer this question. Admins or otherwise.
Additional info: Laptop is Toshiba Portege m900. Windows 7 OS.32-bit operating system. Singapore-based.

Dear user,
You are getting such output because you have checked ON the setting 'Print to file' in one of your previous prints. For resolving this issue, kindly uncheck option 'Print to file' present in bottom left corner of print dialog and then click on 'Print' (See attached image for reference).
Hope this will solve your problem.
Thanks

Hi guys..!!

If normally the size of my files in the for previous software was more or less 5MB why now i need to install 590?
Some one could help me how to avoid installation of 590MB for my new mountain lion software???
Thanks

If you go to http://support.apple.com/downloads and locate the HP Printer Drivers installer, you will find that it is 473.4 MB (for version 2.11). If you install this, it will install the full set of drivers for every model of HP printer that is supported by the drivers distributed through Apple. The disk space occupied once installed will probably be larger than the download, since the downloaded file is compressed.
On the other hand, if you have an HP printer connected and you use Software Update (or the Update tab in App Store), that should offer you a much smaller set of HP drivers, which are only applicable to your printer (and possibly a few similar ones). These updates are typically only tens of megabytes rather than hundreds of megabytes.
If Software Update doesn't offer you any HP drivers then it either thinks you have the latest drivers installed already, or the printer model is not supported by the drivers available from Apple.
This article lists all of the printer models for which Apple distributes the driver:

You need to get rid of MacKeeper (Zeobit). Do not use their uninstaller, follow the instructions here ...

When that is done there does not appear to be a lot wrong if you correct the red ink entries.
The 4Gb is sufficient for Yosemite though 6 or 8 Gb would be better. You may find the download slow so be prepared.

Acrobat X prints PDF's - but only to desktop unable to Print direct to Folder - Error No Permission

Just installed Acrobat X and since installation I am able to print PDFs however am only able to print to my desktop and am unable to print directly into existing or even newly created folders.
System advises there is no permission to allow the print in the folder and to see the system administrator. As I am the only user,thus administrator, am having a hard time rectifying the situation.
Also noticed that the print window when it first appears is minimized and you need need to use a few clicks to open through "More.... " to get the computer or destop settings. Is there a way to have this print window default totally open to allow immediate access to all options.
Is becoming a bit tedious to go through this process to print PDF and then move from the desktop into the folders, which seems to be no problem at all.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Unable to print PDF files using Acrobat 8.

I had to uninstall and then reinstall Office for Mac 2011. I don't know if it's related or not, but since doing so I have been unable to print PDF files using Adobe Acrobat 8. After opening a PDF file and hitting print, Adobe Acrobat 8 crashes. Any suggestions? I already uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Acrobat 8, but it still won't print PDF files. O

While you are having difficulty in printing a PDF file, you may try the subsequent steps. If you are in a rush and would like to print a simple document such as a letter, a form, or a calendar, you may print it as an image. Next option is that you may need to update your printer driver if the PDF does not print, the PDF prints as a blank page or with unreadable text or if you get an error message when you print. Sometimes, when you print a file that is on a thumb drive or a network, the file gets damaged. Then you have to open the copy on your hard drive and print again. At last, you can try printing the PDF using another printer and check your printer connection too if the PDF does not get printed. get more help to fix unable to printer PDF file hope this helps you.
Good Luck!
