I had the same problem but this worked for me..
remove adobe PDF PPD from the following folders:
OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/en.lproj,
OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Zh_CN.lproj,
OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Ja.lproj,
OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/ko.lproj,
OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Zh_TW.lproj,
then re start Illustrator and try printing again. Mike
Adobe Warns of Critical Zero-Day Vulnerability in Reader and Acrobat Products | SecurityWeek.Com. I’m coming to the conclusion that the less Adobe you have the more secure your computer is. I bet they have as many security vulnerabilities as Windows. Perhaps they need a Trusted Computing Initiative of their own?
New printing problem with InDesign CS4: Apple Support Communities. Nicely done. Good detective work. So often people answer their own questions.
Wanted to let folks reading this know that I spoke with an Apple tech person and found that the 10.7.2 upgrade apparently is the culprit, and is incompatible with wireless printing to my Lanier printer. I CAN print connected through USB. That’s a work-around for now, but I’ll need to contact Lanier about upgrading their driver
for OS X 10.7.2.
Aisolve over on the Adobe board was also helpful in advising me that if I was able to generate a postscript file (which I was), and able to generate a PDF by distlling it through Adobe Distiller (which I am), then I can safely assume that the problem lies with the hardware, in this case the printer driver. This lines up with what Apple told me.
Thanks, Apple and Aisolve!
Installing Flash on mbp (shipped with…: Apple Support Communities. I haven’t ever had a problem with Flash or Java being unsafe but I keep things constantly updated. I have had many mac virus that have used JavaScript to launch into my computer. Turning off JavaScript is a very helpful thing if you want to be safe. a brody suggests the following:
Flash is as safe as Adobe makes it. There are occasional security updates regarding it. Some animated websites require it, while others do not. Play around with websites and see if any really needs it that you really need access to. If you find some do, you should also recommend they consider switching their Flash to HTML5, which eats up less processor cycles, and because it is maintained by the open source community is more likely to be secure. Don’t click on animated advertisements and banners, unless you are absolutely certain they are legit. Don’t believe any popup saying you should install asking you to install anti-virus software. Just close those windows with the red button in the upper left corner and proceed going through websites. If they make a window you can’t close, bookmark any sites you are on, and quit the web browser.
This isn’t the first time that Flash or Adobe has been compromised. The security department needs some more testers. I haven’t trusted flash for years.
