Cannot Print Any PDF file - MacOS High Sierra 10.13.2 Error can't open /private/var/spool/cups/tmp/

[russk71502872]

MacOS 10.13.2

Adobe Pro DC 2018.009.20050 - no further updates are available to download

Printing to HP Deskjet F4280

Had no problems with pdf printing before, ever.

All MacOS print drivers up to date; no further HP drivers available; no PDFs print at all.

All other apps print - Word, multiple browsers, test prints from the print utility, etc.

Update: Printing works when printing using Preview -- but not native Adobe Pro DC.

Please help.

--Thanks, Russ K

I am having this problem suddenly after updating MacOS to Sequoia15.1.1 (24B91). Two weeks ago I had no problem. I can print any pdf from the Chrome Adobe View but if it is a downloaded form or other type of pdf on my desktop/drive, etc. It will not print. I have updated all drivers for my brother and completed a firmware update and still nothing. The full error is as follows, but I am not trying to create a PDF I am trying to PRINT a PDF. Please help!! All business is on hold until this is fixed. Thank you! 

Could not create PDF from:

I also can no longer print PDF's saved on my MacBook Pro to my HP Printer. I am running MacOS Sequoia Version 15.1.1 (24B91), with Adobe Pro Build: 24.5.20320.0 and printing to a HP ColorLaserJet MFP M283. When I click print from Adobe, the printer sounds like it is about to start printing but then stops. There is no error message. It was all printing fine on Fri 3-Jan-2025 but stopped printing on Sat 4-Jan-2025. As a workaround, I can print the same PDF from the same MacBook and HP printer using the Preview app. I have uninstalled and then reinstalled Adobe Pro and shut down / restarted the MacBook with the PDF print issue remaining. The driver on HP Printer is the latest v3.0. Microsoft Office apps MS Word, MSExcel are printing from the same MacBook to the same HP printer with no issues.
