Hello, I'm putting together a large publication (100 pages) and i can't seem to print a page i just edited. I can print others fine, but this one page (page 76) won't print. It's not the printer, because i cannot even make a PDF from that page without an error about Adoboe_AGM_Gradient.

Any ideas?

Jeffrey:

Please write out the entire error message.

What happens if you delete the various page elements on page 76 one at a time?

P.S you have a printing problem but say nothing about the printer, type, driver, PPD ... that would be useful information.

I have the same problem...you are not alone. PostScript Error: "Error undefined; Offending command: Adobe_AGM _Gradient". I have used PostScript Adobe driver 4.5.2, PPD Agfa Avantra 25E with Level 2 and also PPD Distiller with Level 3 to make a PDF. But it does not work. What is the reason?

Are you mixing a gradient and transparency effects? ...or making a gradient between a spot and process color?

That might cause a hiccup in InDesign.

Neither, It's a black to white gradient. There is not any transparency on the page. There is on others in the document, but they print fine. There are images with Paths in the file on the page however. Would that be enough to make it hiccup as well?

As for the error, the error i get with the Distiller is as follows:

%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: Adobe_AGM_Gradient ]%%

Stack:
2
0
(3720 )

%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%

It wont allow me to print to any of the three printers in the office, Phaser Tektronic 750N, Cannon iR330-400, and a LaserJet 4/4M PLUS PS 600

I just found out something else about this problem. It doesn't occur when you print pages other than the ones giving you the problem. For example, I get the error when i print pages 76 & 77, but when i prin pages 75-78 they all print correctly...
