Printing issues 10.6.7

Just wanted to add the problems I am having since update to 10.6.7
problems occur with Canon IPF 710 large format printer
Since update nothing prints correctly using Vectorworks2010, Preview, Adobe acrobat pro
Some graphics print but not all from each of these programs, text also will not print. Canon support knows this is related to 10.6.7 seems to be some error converting postscript files to raster image.
In the canon advanced print settings I can uncheck the "fast graphics process" box and all elements of the file are print. Unfortunately doing this causes the entire image to shift on the page considerably. Right now I am sending files to a laptop that has 10.6.6 and still prints fine so I can function.

In the same boat. Our business uses Myriad Pro as THE font. Fortunately only one computer got updated. The other computers running 10.6.6 or older have no problems with printing fonts. We'll wait for this bug to get fixed before updating the others.
The problem has been on our MacBook Pro updated to 10.6.7 trying to print documents that contain Myriad Pro from Pages 4.0.5 and Numbers 2.0.5, printing to a Xerox Workcentre 245.

The resulting printout:

ERROR: invalidfont
OFFENDING COMMAND: definefont

STACK:

/Font
-dictionary-
/HSJWZZ+MyriadPro-Regular

I tried the suggestions to clear the user font cache and all user font caches, that did diddlysquat. I'll try the "fix the permissions" route later, but I'm not hoping for much.

petervdl, that is pretty much my exact problem. I have Vectorworks 2011, and use Preview a lot to print, and of course the CAD software itself. I have an IPF605 Canon large format printer.

Sometimes I get a few lines, but most times nothing. I have found, in another thread, that if I generate PDF's I can print from Acrobat as long as "Print as Image" is turned on in the advanced print settings.

Now my office is only partially crippled by this mess.

Howdy,

My wife couldn't print a Tax Return from TurboTax after updating to 10.6.7 (White MacBook Core2Duo). Eventually got it going again by validating all the fonts in Font Book and removing two non-system versions of Courier (used for all entries in a Tax Return) that came up a being broken. Now it works again.

Given the time of year I hope Apple comes up with a solution quickly.

Good Luck,

Neither Canon Canada, or Apple Canada will admit there is a problem here. Neither company will help. Canon said downgrade to 10.6.6, Apple said it is a Canon driver problem.

Either way, I can't print, and I am ****** off.

Howdy,

Well, when my wife tried to print the Tax Return on our HL-5250DN Laser Printer (using the Brother Postscript Clone Driver) It printed gibberish for all entered data and when we tried on our HP Officejet 6500 (latest HP drivers) the entered data just didn't print at all. TurboTax printed Tax Returns fine under 10.6.6. Can't be that all printer drivers just went crazy.

Hope Apple fixes this quickly.

Good Luck,

Blaming the printer drivers is as silly as blaming the fonts or Acrobat. The only thing that changed to cause all of this is the OS.

I've been having a similar font problem since updating to 10.6.7. I have the multiple master font "Graphite" that I have been using for about 15 years first with MiniCad and now Vectorworks (2009 is what I am using now). Vectorworks posts a warning message "Bad Font..." and then shuts down. If I then try to use the font in Pages it shows garbage text in Graphite but the proper text in any other font.

For me the problem does not seem to be related to printing or PDF. Vectorworks will display the warning message and quit without having been asked to print or create a PDF.

I can temporarily (for a couple days) solve the problem by moving the font to a different location on my drive. It will work for a couple days and then I have to move it to get it to work again.

At least Adobe gives an official response/comment.. I wish Apple could do the same out of respect.. so at least we know they're working day and night on this..

Apple releases a fix for another 10.6.7 issue iTunes-related..
so we can hope they're silently working on the OTF issue as well..

Well, reading this article, they start numbering the 10.6.7-Updates now... so called V1.0 does not seem to be the last we'll see...

Anyway, in the meantime - I totally forgot to mention the possibility to clear font caches of both system and ⚠ applications. Within FontExplorer X you can do that directly (I do not mean to advertise this one, but is any Pro User really working with fontbook?!) or you can use free "Onyx" or "Maintainance" Software from www.titanium.free.fr/ to do that. It is often useful once you encounter problems, as many of of the "big" software houses like Adobe, MS etc mess around with fonts besides the System.

Curious to here your reports...

Tried it all, delete all font caches caches with MainMenu, did the same with Onyx, deleted system and user caches as well, checked my whole font library with FontDoctor, checked all my font with FontAgent Pro, repaired permissions, spent two days on this mess.. to no avail..

..and finally reinstalled Snow Leopard, imported my Time Machine and applied the 10.6.6 combo. First thing I should have done, would have wasted much less time.

here's another related error message. tried to print some keynote charts. they really screwed up bad this time.

ERROR: rangecheck

An update:

Canon has acknowledged that there is a problem (specifically with the imageprograf series that I own), and they are working on a new driver.

A work around (which did work for me), is to de-select "Fast Graphic Process" from the Main, Advanced menu tab.

I hope this helps some folks out there.

UPDATE: I wrote earlier that I was having issues in 10.6.6 with OpenType fonts. After rebooting my Mac, everything seems fine. I also tested OpenType in InDesign CS5 on a second Mac that is running 10.6.6. No problems.

Now if Apple will address the issues it created with 10.6.7, I can get our workstations up-to-date.
