allow you to print jobs without the images. If the PostScript error error limitcheck offending command save doesn't occur then, you can start trying to locate the bad image. Set half of your images to error unregistered offending command xshow non-printing and try printing again. Again halve the amount of images and print again and keep doing this until you located the bad one. Updating your application and/or printer driver to https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/error-pdf-printer-failed-to.html the latest release could also solve issues with an offending command ‘Image' error.

If you get a PostScript error "limitcheck" offending command "image" when printing from InDesign 1.0, the document probably contains a multitone EPS (duotone, tritone,.. ) that uses a spot color. To get around the error, you can either perform the colour separation in InDesign itself (deselect "In-RIP" in the separations tab) or you should upgrade your RIP to Adobe PostScript version 3011 or later. PostScript error IOerror An ‘ioerror', offending command ‘image' or ‘colorimage' points to an incorrect amount of data in an image or it indicates that the printer's PS interpreter reads beyond the end of the job while rendering an image.
