I am experiencing very long print delays or, in one case so far, an error message.
I downloaded Adobe Reader for Macintosh 11.0.02. I have a Mac Mini with OS X 10.8.2. The Mac Mini has USB 3.0. My printer is a Brother MFC-8440 local printer, USB 2.0. The printer driver has been updated and is current. The Mac and Brother printer are connected via USB.
I am able to print the PDF files as images but not as documents. Most of the PDF files I have tried to print as documents have done so but they take FOREVER to print. For example, a 28 page PDF file might take the better part of an hour to print (that may be an exaggeration but not by much).
But on one PDF file that I tried to print I got some weird error message on the document that printed. It says,
ERROR NAME;
ioerror
COMMAND;
flushfile
OPERAND STACK;
--filetype--
--arraytype--
Strangely enough, I can see the document on-screen just fine. But the only thing that printed on the sheet was that error message.
I am able to print documents from other applications such as Word without any issue. So this seems to be isolated to printing PDF's.
I previously used Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro for Windows on my old PC (XP Pro, SP3, same printer) until I recently switched to the Mac. I never had any issues with printing PDF's in a fairly quick manner with the PC.
I am only using Adobe Reader now.
My guess is that with the Mac there is probably some sort of bug in the processing software with the Brother printer. The Brother printer has an LED that flashes as the data is being downloaded.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
