Why will my printer print from anything but Adobe Acrobat?

My HP Officejet 6600 printer will print any document from any other program other than Adobe Acrobat. Please assist and resolve this issue. I just submitted this same question for Adobe Reader bt it's actually Acrobat that it won't work for, I don't think I have Adobe Reader....

HP Officejet Pro 8500A Premium will not print docs from computer, but will print a test page.

HP Officejet Pro 8500A Premium will not print docs from computer, but will print a test page. I continually get a message that the computer cannot communicate with the printer.   Not only will it not print docs, it will not print web pages using IE 11 or Google Chrome.
I've used Print and Scan Doctor, it always reports there are no issues and prints a test page even though I can't print anything else.
Each time I want to print, I must reboot the computer. After reboot I have one chance to print.   This problem started February 15, 2015.
My operating system is Windows 8.1.   I have unintalled the HP software, rebooted, then reinstalled the software:
OJ8500_A910_1315-1.exe
HP Print and Scan Doctor - HPPSdr.exe
HPSupportSolutionsFramework-11.51.0049.msi
All versions were last downloaded on April 4, 2015.
I have a home wireless network (Ubee DDW366 router). All other devices in the house will print to the 8500A printer without issues: 2 Toshiba laptops, 2 Android phones, and 1FireHD.
The desk top is installed with a Netgear Network card I don't know the model, but I had it tested by a PC Tech to confirm that the card is working.   The card and Windows 8.1 were installed on January 3, 2015.
I have run virus scans and malware scans. Each time they show there are no issues with my desktop. What kind of desktop? Specifically made to my specs from store parts. . . no brand name computer. ASUS Motherboard P6X580 Premium. Now I will probably get hacked!
I am at my wits end. And it is frustrating when I need to make a print of something and the system locks up. I often resort to screen printing to a word document to save in order to reboot. . . .but then I lose all sorts of capabilites when I salvage what I needed. Also this is a time consumer.
This printer has served us well for two years and I have expensive cartridges waiting; another two rounds of refills.
Help?
Addendum: I can scan using HP Printer Assistance. I open the HP Printer assistant, it "retrieves" info from the printer, then I select "scan a document or photo" and the printer responds.   I have no trouble with scanning.
This question was solved.

Lines in images when printing from anything but iphoto

When I print on my computer from anything but iphoto the quality is horrible and the print has very noticeable lines in it across everything. I recently did a layout in Adobe Illustrator and when I went to print it on regular 4x6 satin photo paper there are lines everywhere. This also happens when printing from powerpoint, photoshop, word, and whatever else that is not iphoto. I cant send out things that are printed at such horrible quality. Everything comes out fine when i print text in black but photos look pixelated and have lines in them no matter what paper I use if printed from anything but iphoto.
HELP DR.

Check the printer manual about calibrating. There is a solution in most drivers for inkjet printers which may call like paper forwarding or so. It seems, that your printer forwords the paper a bit to much before the line is printed.

Why will my pictures sync from my computer to my ipad2 but not my videos?

Why will my pictures sync from my computer to my ipad2 but not my videos?

Are you selecting them to sync in the music pane in iTunes on the computer? Are they in the correct format?
If these are videos that you shot yourself, try creating a folder for them in iPhoto - one that you can select in iTunes in order to sync. Make sure that they are in the correct format as well. Launch iTunes and click on the Movies subheading under the Library Heading on the left side. Click on one of the movies in the list and go to Advanced>Create iPad or Apple TV version and see if the movie converts.

Why will PDF not open from email?

I recently modified my Adobe Reader 9.1 (with instructions from the bank) to be able to electronically sign documents.
Since then I can not open any PDF documents from email. I went back and reversed the changes I made. I uninstalled Adobe and reinstalled it. No luck.
I have to save the documents and open them from Windows Explorer.
Any Ideas?

A fast workaround for PDF problem (See my original post)
In Firefox:
Open Tools > Options > Under Main tab click Save files to > click Browse
Scroll up or down to find where you want it to go (I put mine under Documents because it's the easiest to find).
Click New folder and label it something you will quickly recognize.
Now when you click on a PDF attachment it will automatically be sent to that file and you can double click or open
it in Adobe Reader
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Note) If I use Internet Explorer (I have not used IE in years) I can open PDF's from Hotmail with out a problem.
I like Firefox better so I will continue to use the quick workaround until somebody finds a fix.
If you use IE, here are the instructions for saving PDF files.
Click
to open Windows Mail.
Open a message that contains an attachment by double-clicking it
in the message list.
In the message window, click the File menu,
and then click Save Attachments.
Select the folder where you want to save the attachments.
By default,
Windows Mail saves attachments in your
Documents folder. If you want to save the attachments to a different folder,
click Browse, and then select a folder.
Select the attachments that you want to save, and then click Save.

Illustrator PDFs print correctly from PC, but print too dark from Macs

Photoshop and Illustrator PDF files (CS5 & 6) print correctly from my work PC, but not either of my Macs. See below:
At work, I have a Dell PC and an iMac, at home I have a MacBook Pro.
At work there is a big office color Ricoh printer for the Dell and iMac, at home I have a Epson 3-in-one laserjet for the MacBook Pro.
Both the work and home Macs will print Illustrator/Photoshop PDFs very dark/undersaturated/off color on their relative printers, but the work PC prints them correctly.
At work, If you hold up a print of a PDF file printed from the Dell PC, and one printed from the iMac, they are completely different looking - the Dell print matches the Dell and iMac screens, but the iMac print is very dark and dull.
At work, when I open a Illustrator or Photoshop PDF on the work PC and send it to the Richo printer, it comes out perfectly matching the screen, but, if I open it on the iMac and send it to the Richo printer, it prints too dark/off color.
These are the *exact* same PDF files I am opening on both the PC and the iMac - our files are saved on a server so I'm accessing the same documents on both machines.
Also, I create the files on the iMac and save them to the server on the iMac, but if I open them on the iMac it prints too dark, and if I open them on the PC, it prints correctly.
At home on the MacBook Pro, the prints are also much darker than the screen (despite color calibration with a ColorMunki as well as following all Epson's color calibration steps) and I see a similar color problem as printing to the work printer from the work iMac.
Someone please tell me this is just a printer profile thing and I can go in somewhere on my Macs and switch something so they print the same as the PC does!
Thank you in advance for explaining why my Macs are making me pull out my hair!

the iMac it prints too dark
your print space is off on the Mac
or you are applying the wrong source profile or both
on the MacBook Pro, the prints are also much darker than the screen (despite color calibration
EDIT: sorry i misread that as your monitor was also dark, if the mac displays the problem doc proper, you are targeting a bad print space, that's where i would look...
you app is apply the wrong source profile (or your monitor profile is off)
basing the source>print space conversion on the wrong source profile could account for your printing woes
be sure you are embedding an ICC profile in your doc, are opening it in a color-managed app, and it should display properly
be sure your workflow uses the embedded profile and your printer is setup to convert to the proper printer profile

8630 all-in-one prints wirelessly from phone but not from laptop

I just set up my new 8630 printer and it is connected wirelessly. I printed something from my phone on it. I downloaded the driver from HP to my laptop but it will not work with the printer. I cannot print wirelessly from the laptop. I have not tried from USB cable because I am determined to make this work! I am not sure the driver installed properly either. When I go to the control panel and click on printers and find the 8630 it says"empty." Feeling frustrated. I never have good luck installing stuff like this! I also downloaded the troubleshooting software and none of the solutions has worked either. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Hello DLKoons,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having some communication issues as well.
Like I stated to the other person on this thread, I am going to need the operating system that you are using.
Which Windows Operating System am I running?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Hp 6510 prints fine from laptop but only prints blank pages from ipad

Printer prints fine from my laptop but will only spit out blank pages from my ipad. It used to print fine from the ipad.

RESOLVED!!!!
I called HP regarding this issue, and was connected with a very nice woman out of India, Lola, who resolved the problem for both my Google Nexus 7 tablet running android 4.4.4 and also my iphone 5s. Its the printer, and its wi-fi connection, along with the app.
Here were the steps to resolve:
1. Make absolutely sure you dont have a cable going into your printer from your router or modem. Then make sure your connected to wi-fi if on your printer if you did. (If you had a cable connected, re-run the wi-fi setup wizard for your printer, preferably on the printer itself, not your computer.
2. Sounds crazy, but verify your wi-fi is actually on. Click on the wi-fi button on your printer, and you should also have a light that signals your wi -fi is actually connected (at least on the Officejet 6700 that I am using, it does).
3. Make sure you still have HP Eprint on your phone and/or tablet. Check that you have your settings correct in your HP Eprint setup options, including the email address you want to use for your account. If you don't, you will need to enter it, then click activate on HP Eprint. It will send you a code via email. Copy/paste the code into the HP Eprint setup.
4. Once you're sure you have your printer re-connected to wi-fi correctly, and no cables attached; resart your printer, and re-start your phone/tablet. Once everything has re-booted its time to test....
5. Test Printing: First test printing drictly from HP Eprint's app, selecting a file... then test using a webpage from your browser, to ensure its running correctly through Airprint (which is best, secondary is Google Cloud Print).
If you are still having trouble, re-boot everything again, double check your wi-fi on your printer, and that you have your settings correct in your HP Eprint from above. If that doesn't work for you, call HP at (855) 785-2777 and select HP EPrint for assistance.
Good Luck & Happy Printing!

Printing Issue: Colors print fine from Photoshop but washed out in Illustrator

I am having trouble printing from Illustrator. The same image...whether cut and pasted, opened in, or using the swatch created....prints differently in Photoshop and Illustrator. I need to use this specific color (for branding purposes) and it prints fine in Photoshop but washed out and grey-ish in illustrator.
I've made sure the color settings are the same (in bridge) and made sure all the print settings are the same. It is the same color on the screen, and in detail, but the print output is clearly different. Any help please??

If I print from Acrobat, everything is washed out and greyed - both the PDF from Illustrator and the PDF saved from Photoshop.
I tried letting the printer decide and I tried set to illustrator - both washed out and greyed.
Here are my settings in illustrator:
