Hi Experts,

I have received an awful error message regarding Printing. The error message “Printing Error. The Adobe Print Engine has failed to output your data due to an unknown problem” appears frequently.

I do not understand this error message. If you have any idea regarding this issue please help me.

Thanks in advance.

The Adobe Print Engine has failed to output your data

Do the following:

1. Exit InDesign.

2. Rename the SavedData file in InDesign and incorrectly the Defaults file (InDesign SavedData.old, InDesign Defaults.old) into the following directories – 

Windows XP: C:/Documents and Settings/[user name]/Application Data/Adobe/InDesign/[Version]

Windows 7/Vista: C:/Users/[user name]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/InDesign/[Version]Mac OS: /Users/[user name]/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign/[Version]

3. Now open InDesign. InDesign will create preference files.

So the old preference files will be replaced by new ones and your problem should be fixed.
