Reader X Printing Problem

First let me state that this is my solution on a Macintosh running 10.7.5 and Acrobat Pro X (with all the latest updates).

This problem started for me just this last weekend. I have been to every so-called solution that I could find via a Google search and NONE of these "solutions" even by the self-tagged "experts" work. PERIOD!

I decided to follow one suggestion to install Acrobat Pro 9. However, instead of uninstalling Acrobat Pro X first, I left it installed.

During the initial startup of Acrobat 9 after installation I was offered the option of installing an Extra feature called Adobe PDF Printer which allows me to "Create Adobe PDF files from any application by printing to Adobe PDF Printer". I opted in to that extra.

Once Acrobat Pro 9 had started I tested it using one of the PDF files that had failed to print with the dreaded "No pages selected......" error messages. THE FILE PRINTED AS EXPECTED!

I then decided I would uninstall Acrobat Pro X, but on a whim decided to try to print the same PDF file that had just printed using Acrobat Pro 9 one more time. IT PRINTED!

All I can figure out is that somehow selecting the option to have Acrobat Pro 9 install the option for allowing other applications to create a PDF repaired something within the Mac operating system. Just a guess.

Hope this helps someone.

I am also suddenly having the same problem.  Adobe X version updated yesterday and it is not print from my computer only all of my colleagues can print. our printer is network printer there is no any issue with printer and its printing from all other application eg: word, excel, PDF complete like that applications. mine only upgraded to x version. kindly assist me to work properly...

I'm using Vista 32 bit, and Adobe Reader will not get off the HP Deskjet D1500 printer when it's opened standalone.  If I open the same pdf in the browser with acrord32 the printer that is installed comes up (HP Envy 4500).

Uninstalled all printers and tried reader standalone, it told me I need to install a printer.  Installed cutepdf, then tried again, Adobe reader only recognized, as before the HP Deskjet D1500.  Have tried everything uninstalled reader a few times and reinstalled, used the adobe cleaner IT tool and reinstalled.

The only thing that works is a 3rd party PDF reader.  I finally broke the seal and installed a different reader.  I'll have to teach the family to use it, but I haven't seen a viable resolution for this problem.

We have the same problem but have further narrowed it down.

This happens to us when the PDF is being printed directly from a gmail attachement if the computer has Acrobat X on it.

If the PDF is downloaded and then printed from the local machine it works fine, if they have an older version of Acrobat it works fine.

I have had Adobe X for a while with no problems printing except tonight.  I tried printing some bank statements from my bank and as soon as I hit print I get a warning that Adobe has to close.  It opens the file fine, but I can't print.

1) Are you using Acrobat or Reader?

Reader X

2) What is the version of Acrobat or Reader you are using? The latest version is 10.1.1 and I would request you to keep the application up-to-date. You may do so by going to Help-->Check for updates. Kindly report back if the issue is fixed or not after the update.

10.1.2

3) Do you see the issue occuring with specific pdf documents or all pdfs? Could you share your pdf documents at atulagar@adobe.com -- all pdfs

4) what is the make of the printer? what is the make of the driver?

hp laserjet 4

5) What is the exact nature of the issue? print does not come? or Do you see any error dialog while printing? or anything else?

when I try to print, I "adobe reader has stopped working"  a problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is availabel.

Reader 10.1.1

OSX 10.7.2

Xerox Phaser 6200DP (latest avaliable driver update)

I cannot print reliably from Adobe Reader.  There is some odd interaction between Reader's print dialog box and the OSX print dialog box. 

If I go to the "printer" tab in Reader's dialog, to set the printer up, then go back to Reader and hit "print" I get a message saying that I have not selected a page range - no matter which way I select the page range.

If I avoid touching the "printer" button in the dialog box, then I can print - BUT the document will not print using the printer features such as double-sided printing, even when the OSX printer settings are selected for it.

This problem does NOT occur with Acrobat Pro 9.4.6, which uses the OSX print dialog box instead of using an Adobe-specific one.

The problem also does NOT occur when using Mac OSX 6.

The problem appears to be specific to Reader 10.1.1 and OSX 7.

I am suddenly having the same problem.  Adobe will not print from my computer although everything else does.

We had an issue last Monday where users would print PDF documents and all they received was a line of ASCII characters with the file name, then a continuous stream of paper with a single character on it.

At the time we were using the HP PS driver on our HP 9050 series printers, none of our Canon printers were being affected, so we put it down to printer driver.  We had successfully used the PostScript drivers since re-setting all our printers up in March 2011 after a move.

So I changed the driver to the standard PCL 5 HP driver.  Again the same issue occurred - I must say that we did have some success intermittently with trying the "print as Image" function, however not all the time.

Then I changed the driver to the HP Universal PCL 6 driver.  After doing that, no problems at all.

So if you find you are having problems only on your HP's - apparently there's been intermittent issues with Acrobat printing on HP's as far back as 2008, according to heaps of documents I found through Google searches - then give the Universal driver a go.

Hi Atul, my laptop has just updated to Adobe Reader X and I cannot print anything, the screen freezes on the print spooling text box, sits at 0% and my whole laptop freezes, I have to switch off and reboot.  I am running Windows Vista, and I have tried printing to a File but exactly the same thing happens.  This has happened to me before but has always been resolved when I've checked for updates and run them.  I have checked and there are no updates for me to run.  I have a pile of school letters I need to print, help please, any suggestions?

My printer is a Cannon MP620, which I've had and been using happily for a couple of years now.   I just tried again, without the printer connected, and it did exactly the same thing.  It didn't even got as far as registering that the printer wasn't connected, just started to spool the document and everything froze again.  I have a message in my Windows problem solver, saying I blue-screened and the laptop froze to protect itself, to do with software or drivers it says.  I'm not techie enough to know which, but it can only be about the printing problem?

Okay it looks like I can print older pdf's, just the latest updates from the school which are causing a problem.  I will forward one on to you Atul.

Many thanks,

Chris
