data but then stops, a PostScript error could have occurred.A PostScript error message includes a PostScript error type, which defines the type of error it is. It also includes an offending command, which usually indicates the specific part of the PostScript code that the interpreter couldn't read. The offending command usually indicates the command that error unregistered offending command show caused the problem. Some PostScript errors point you right to the cause of the problem, and some get you looking in the right direction.Example of a PostScript error:%%[Error: ; OffendingCommand: ]%%For example, the PostScript error %%[Error: dictfull; OffendingCommand: def ]%% contains the PostScript error type "dictfull" and the offending command "def." The error type indicates that the dictionary contains the maximum number of entries. The offending command is the last command the PostScript interpreter tried to process, "def," which defines a new word in the dictionary.

There are for instance posts across the web discussing ‘undefinedresource' errors when printing to HP laser printers using Adobe Reader (e.g. version 8.1.2).

Things to try first Checking for corrupt graphics About us PostScript error details (alphabetical by error name) HP Laserjet Error codes (30 PS ERROR nn) Introduction - what is an error? This is intended for people who have to try and deal offending command with PostScript errors. You don't need to know anything about PostScript, except that it is a language that gets sent to a printer. By 'errors' I mean specific errors detected by a PostScript printer, that make it stop printing. This won't help you if the results are complete, but not what you expect. Good information on errors is hard to come by. The error undefined offending information here may help. It is long and detailed, and best used as a reference. Still, be prepared for a long struggle. Sometimes a file simply cannot be printed on a particular printer, particularly if it is old or has limited memory. (The amount of memory supplied by default with many printers is not adequate for complex graphics or using many fonts). Some people will be dealing with PostScript files sent to them, that they must try to print; others will be generating the PostScript themselves. Not all of the advice in this document can be followed by both groups. Although I refer to 'printers' throughout, you might be using a printer, a printing or previewing package on a PC or workstation, or a high-end typesetter. This file is definitely not intended to help people writing their own PostScript. The discussion is confined to errors likely to be found when a program writes the PostScript on your behalf. If writing PostScript you will need a good manual, and lots of patience! A particularly unpleasant source of problems is bugs, either in the programs that write the P

In this case some (unknown) resource was requested from a PostScript dictionary. This is probably somethinge that the driver forgot to define, but then requested anyway. It could be a font (which are usually handled differently, though) a colour rendering dictionary, or a lot of other things. Unfortunately, all that does not help you. Two things you can try: 1. Use "print as image" (under the Advanced button in the Print dialogue box) 2. Re-create the pdf, with some different settings 0 Message Author Comment by:in-tellect2007-03-12 Thanks for the help. I just downgraded the version of Adobe Reader from 8.0 to 7.0 and the user isn't having any further problems.
