I have updated the printer's driver (HP Officejet 6600) and installed the newest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader. I don't know what else can I do. Any ideas are appreciated.ThanksHector OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2) Posted on Oct 15, 2012 11:26 AM I have this question too Close Q: printer unable to convert postscript file All replies Helpful answers Page 1 of 3 last Next by PAHU,★Helpful PAHU Oct 15, 2012 5:45 PM in response to hsantaella Level 6 (16,610 points) offending command Oct 15, 2012 5:45 PM in response to hsantaella Looking at the specifications for this printer, there is no mention of it supporting Postscript. So it will not be the printer that needs to convert the incoming PS spool file, but the printer driver and operating system to rasterise the PDF or PS file. So when you attempt to print from Acrobat or Preview, what happens? Do you get an error or does the file print incorrectly?For PDFs that do not print offending command stack correctly, one workaround you can do with Acrobat is to open the Advanced menu from the Acrobat print dialog and select Print As Image. The quality of the printed document can differ compared to when printed normally, but at least it allows you to print a PDF that errors sometimes.

What happens when you try to print PDF files? And what does that have to do with converting postscript files? If you are printing a pdf file, does the printer print a postscript error? Do you get the same error with Preview? Safari?
