AI CS2 won't print after reloading

	Re: AI CS2 won't print after reloading by Stuart Gill on Oct 22, 2009 at 1:15:01 pm Does this happen with one file or with all files? You can try deleting the aiprefs file. Close Illustrator first and go to the following location, depending on what OS you are using. Illustrator CS2: Windows XP and 2000 Documents and Settings/[user name]/Application Data/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS2 Settings/AIPrefs Windows Vista Users/[user name]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS2 Settings/AIPrefs Don't have a MAC, so not sure where to find it.

	Re: AI CS2 won't print after reloading by Vincent Rosati on Oct 22, 2009 at 9:10:12 pm When you say 'I found the file under windows', do you mean C:WINDOWS? If so, you should never manually do anything in that directory or sub-directory, unless you really know what you are doing. You may have permanently damaged the system registry or something. Application Data is a folder, not a file. Under Tools/Folder Options/View you should make sure you have 'Show hidden files' checked. As, Application Data is a hidden folder. You can only find hidden items, with Search, by modifying the preferences, under 'Change preferences' within the search panel, to include hidden items in the search results. But, I wouldn't worry about doing that. Make sure you are in an account with Administrator privileges. Than.. My Computer/C:/Doc's & Set's/*user*/Application Data... I don't have an answer to your initial question, I just became concerned when I read your last post. Vince *Please remember to Rate our replies or check Solution if solved.

	Re: AI CS2 won't print after reloading by Stuart Gill on Oct 23, 2009 at 4:07:40 pm When you delete the aiprefs file, Illustrator recreates a fresh one when it starts up. That is why Illustrator needs to be closed while you delete the file. Can you print to a pdf through the print dialog? If it does indeed create a pdf then I suspect it is down to the printer driver. It may work if you have the printer installed first before you install Illustrator. Also, as I asked previously, can you see if the printer has a postscript driver? It may need to be done separately or be specifically chosen when installing the driver. Hope this helps, Stuart Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: AI CS2 won't print after reloading by Stuart Gill on Oct 23, 2009 at 10:09:23 am Follow what Vincent has said in his post. Also to reiterate his question, what file/folder did you delete? Did you mean the aiprefs file or something else? As your font listing is not working properly, it suggests to me that you may have deleted more than you should have? If you have managed to correctly delete the aiprefs file, per my instructions, and it still doesn't print then you should also look at your printer driver. What printer do you have? Does it have a postscript driver? On another tack, you mentioned that you have reinstalled Illustrator. Was this after a new install of windows? With the fonts going funny, you may need to do, as a last resort, resintall Illustrator again. If you decide to do that, make sure you uninstall it and restart the machine first.

	Re: AI CS2 won't print after reloading by Vincent Rosati on Oct 23, 2009 at 9:34:58 pm If you get a chance, update your profile with your OS and hardware specs (ram, processor, etc.), so we can see what you are working with. My system uses a non-SSE processor. Although I can install and run CS3+ Adobe products there are a number of functions that won't work within the applications. I've had to revert to CS2, and max out at PP 1.5, and AE 6.5. Vince *Please remember to Rate our replies or check Solution if solved.
