When I try to print from Illustrator CS3 the program unexpectedly quits. I don't get anything happening other than the spinning ball and the quit message.

Is this because the application is so outdated?

Thanks for your help Monika. Yes, the printer is is supported by the system. The printer is about 2 months old and the driver were installed then. I called Canon support and they said it sounded like a problem with Illustrator. I can print the same file by saving it as a pdf and printing from Acrobat Pro, so it seems to be a problem with Illustrator. If I try to print the pdf from Illustrator it will quit.

  • Printer dialogue box hangs when printing from Illustrator cs3

    OK... I'm not sure if this is Illustrator related or mac related, but it only happens from Illustrator. In our office we have an iMac (white,flat) running Tiger (OSX 10.4.11). Whenever we try to print from Illustrator CS3 the preint goes through to the printer immediately and prints, but the actual Illustrator spooling bar/printer dialogue box remains. The only way is to wait for about half an hour for the bar to finish or force quit the application and restart (even though it does not show as "not responding" in the Force Quit window.
    Now I've tried reinstalling Illustrator. I've run disk warrior. Tried the fsck command on startup. our technical outsources tell us it might be a memory problem, but I'm not tsure as this only happens in Illustrator and no other programs.... any ideas?

    I can vouch for the dock hiding solution solving the problem. It worked on three Intel Macs we were having problems with. Here are some links to articles about it:

  • Photoshop CS3 crashes when I try to print from Epson R2400

    Hi,
    For no reason that I can see, when I try to print from my Epson R2400, Photoshop CS3 crashes.
    It was working fine up to yesterday with no issues.
    I have re installed the drivers etc but no use.
    I also cannot choose Printer Manages Colors, as it is now greyed out.
    When the the Printer dialogue opens and I click on the Page Set up I get the Error that "Photoshop CS3 has encountered a problem and needs to close"
    Any ideas please?

    Thanks for the replies.
    I understand now that the procedure is probably the reason.
    I was just experimenting as LAB colours are colours we see through our eyes, while RGB, CMYK etc are "computer" colours and so I use LAB colours a lot, before switching back to RGB.
    I normally switch to LAB mode and click on the Lightness channel, then play with adjustments of that channel. This time I decided to mess around and see what would happen if I removed all channels except the Lightness one....
    Converting to greyscale for me is not enough unfortunately and LAB B+W provides much better contrast and tone than hitting CTRL+Shift+U to greyscale.
    Again, I understand what you say, my point being though that Photoshop should not crash because I incorrectly remove the channels, perhaps a warning to tell me I can't do it would be better.
    I'll pass this onto Adobe anyway.
    cheers

  • When I try to print from web page I get "printer not activated - error code 30", printer works on Internet Explorer

    When I try to print from web page I get a dialogue box "Printer not activated - error code 30" followed by a dialogue box "An unknown error occurred while printing". The printer works on websites when I use Internet Explorer. Also, if I copy the web page and paste it into a Word document, I can print a copy. This issue just started this week; I have not encountered this problem prior to this week. Please advise.

    What does that error message say?

  • HT4356 My new HP printer is listed above as an AirPrinter ... But when I try to print from my iPad I get a message saying that there are  No airprinters!  Do I need to format/setup something first?!

    My new  Hewlett Packard printer is listed as an AirPrinter on the Apple website,  but when I try to print from my iPad  it says that there are  No airprinters.  The printer is connected to the same WiFi network, is turned on & I'm close to the printer.  Do I need to forma/set up the iPad or Printer to enable this feature?! 

    It would help to post this in a more proper form. This is for the iTunes family of stores.

  • Lightroom 4 launches to Photoshop CS5 when I try to print from Lightroom. How do I change it

    Lightroom 4 launches to Photoshop CS5 when I try to print from Lightroom. How do I change it, so the printing goes directly from Lightroom to the printer.

    Let me try again. I am in Lightroom and click print. Then I am launched to PS.
    This is not possible.
    What you are seeing is not PS, it's your printer dialog. PS does not have an ICM button.
    And you say: " Lightroom doesn't stop working; rather CS5 stops working"
    And what does the error message say that you posted in the screen shot?  Does it not say "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom has stopped working" ?
    Do not be confused. Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is the official name of Lightroom. This is not CS5 that has stopped working. CS5 does not come on when you hit the print button in Lr.
    It is Lr that has stopped working.
    And you say: "My next step is to click on ICM so the color controls are done by the software."
    This is wrong. When you want Lr to do the color management, you select a profile in the Print Module, in the <Print Job> panel under Color Management / Profile.
    In the screen shot below I have selected a profile for my HP printer and paper. And that's where you select a profile for your printer and paper.
    You do not click on ICM in your printer dialog. You click there only when you want your printer to manage colors.
    So try to print by selecting the profile in the print Module as indicated and do not click on ICM.
    By the way: Which OS? Are you on a Mac?

    Is your tablet on the same network as the printer? In order for HP ePrint Home and Biz to work, the printer has to be on the same network.

  • 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:

  • How come when I try to print from my iPad for example Tim Horton's WiFi to mu home Airprint printer it does not work.

    How come when I try to print from my iPad for example Tim Horton's WiFi to mu home Airprint printer it does not work.

    The Airprint printer must be on the same local network (LAN) for Airprint to work. You cannot print to your home printer using the WiFi at Tim Horton's.
