Only way to print PDFs created in InDesign is to attach in an email, open on my iPhone, download and print to HP Color Laser Jet Pro MFP M281cdw.
MacBook Pro 15in 2018
IOS 10.14.6 MacMojave
InDesign 2015.1 Release
Upgrade to new Mac IOS is not an option. I loose my Adobe Creative Software package.
I can print a PDF created in Photoshop, Word or Excel, just not InDesign directly from the MacBook Pro.

To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
Open System Preferences>Users & Groups, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
Does it work in the new account?

Preview is far from being as current as Adobe Acrobat Reader and there are some PDFs whose content is indigestible by Preview. I have seen PDFs that have embedded instructions to use particular Adobe plug-ins, Acrobat JavaScript (AcroJS), and other newer PDF constructs that Preview just shrugs off because it cannot handle the content. It does not recognize PDF/A, PDF/X, or PDF/UA PDFs or attempts to preserve their content.
For the preceding reason, it is always (in my own experience) handy to have a current version of Adobe Acrobat Reader DC available for what Preview cannot handle. Now you have an alternative solution.
Yes. I created a new admin account. Opened the InDesign app, created a new document, saved as a PDF to print and it printed. WOW!
But I'm not sure how this helps. All the files I use and want to print are on the other account.
How do I update or fix the original account with all my files?
Can you open and print that InDesign generated PDF from the current Adobe Acrobat Reader DC using its toolbar print tool?
Yes...this worked.
This could be an easier work around then sending the file to an email to myself and opening/printing from my phone.
Does this mean I have a problem with Preview?
Well, I think it means you have a coupt preference file or persistent Cache in the Users folder, but I don't have InDesign so cannot test what it might be.
