Hi @connelljm,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums! I understand when you print PDF files from your Mac running the Mavericks 10.9.5 Operating system to your HP Photosmart B209a, the pages come out blank.
I would like you to complete the steps listed below:
Scrub/ Uninstall
• Open the Applications folder > HP or Hewlett Packard folder > HP Uninstaller
• Click continue, click on one of the printers in the list.
• * Only do this step if you do not have any other HP Printers. Hold down Control, Option and Command, While holding the three buttons down,
• Click uninstall.
Reset Printing System
1. Click the Apple icon ( ), and then click System Preferences.
2. In the Hardware section, click Print & Fax/Scan. The Print & Fax/Scan dialog box opens.
3. Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system…
4. Click OK to confirm the reset.
5. Type the correct Name and Password.
6. Click OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows no printer selected
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol..
Repair Disk Permissions
1.On the Dock, click Applications, and then click Utilities.
2.Double-click Disk Utility.
3.Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left (by default this is "Macintosh HD").
4.Click the Repair Disk Permissions button at the bottom of the window.
5.Once the repair is complete, restart the computer.
Restart the printer. Now you can download and install using the Apple Updates. Click on the link below to begin the installation and follow the on screen instructions:

Why won't pdf files print from Safari?

why won't pdf files print from Safari? I get blank pages. They print fine from Firefox. OS X 10.8.4

Back up all data.
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Strange PDF files printing inverted colors!?

I help support an office with several macs. Two of my remote office computers have an odd problem. In Apple Preview PDF files print inverted colors. If I open the PDF in Adobe reader they print normal. They are both trying to print to Samsung ML320 printers. I have yet to find any settings in Preview or in the printer setup that would allow this to happen. For now my fix is to set Adobe reader as the default application for viewing PDF files. Worked until one employee (also running Mac) sent the remote offices a PDF file attached in Apple Mail. Somehow ONLY PDF files from this person force default to Apple Preview. How can a file override system settings to choose it's default app? Strange and again only files coming for this particular mac force a default to Preview app. So it seems these two problems combined are making things difficult here. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
A.J.

I am still having this issue on a users machine. It is to the point where I may just reimage the whole laptop. The end user went to print a two page PDF from Apple Preview the other day and the first page was inverted and the second was not! How is this possible? The PDF is fine when printed from other machines and again only Apple Preview does this. I can use Adobe PDF reader and it prints normal.

Printing blank sheets

My daughter and I have the same hp printer. She ran out of black ink, so I took mine out of my printer as I didn't have any extra on hand. When I replaced mine with a new cartridge, it would print blank sheets. Also, the ink cartridge she borrowed from me, did not work in her printer either. Nor did a new cartridge. Both printers were working before we did the ink cartridge exchange.
So, now neither of our printers work. They sound like they are printing something, but only blank sheets come out.
I have read all of the troubleshooting suggestions and nothing works. I do believe it has something to do with the cartridge exchange.
Thank you,
This question was solved.

Sorry that you are experiencing this issue. Sometimes when it is printing blank pages, the print head may need cleaning or it may be a software issue with the drivers.
Can you print a self-test page/printer status report from the printer itself. If so, then it may be software problem. If not, it is the printer itself that needs attending.
Here is a link that may assist you with this problem.

Pdf files are blank when i try to print them from logic

whenever i try to print a pdf from logic it comes out completely blank. one day it just started printing blank pdfs, but i can't figure out why. i didn't change anything in my preferences, or install any new programs. any ideas? i'm using logic pro 8.0.2 thanks.

greetings ..if you want to print direct from the Score Editor do this:
1 - Select what ever you want to print in Logic
2 - Next to the Logic Pro in the Tool Bar is File
3 - Go to File>Page Setup
4 - You will see a box there with a percentage. If you print blank pages
this could be because it is 2 percent or something. Return it to 100% and
it should print.
5 - Another tip that most of us Score preparers do is to print first to the desk top as
a PDF. This will show you exactly what the printed sheet will look like. There is often
stuff you miss and this helps to proof read it and not waste paper/ink etc

Pdf file printing causes printer to reboot

Hello!
I got this nasty problem. I'm running OS X 10.9.5 on MBPro. I have HP LaserJet M1536dnf MFP (printer-scanner-fax-copier) connected over USB. All drivers and software installed and running ok. But. If I scan some document (with HP own utility) and save it to pdf file, through IRIS OCR to make it searchable, then open this pdf file with Preview, and it displays normally, then send it to the printer- it fails. The printer gets halted for about a minute, then it reboots. Like I power cycled it.
The scanned file behaves ok. It's not abnormally large in size - a few MB usually. I can open it with Preview, Scroll, save, etc. And the printer behaves ok with other documents- text files, images, others. But whenever I send a scanned pdf to printer- it fails.
I try to copy the file and print it being logged in under Administrator (I normally use non-admin user account for work). Same result. Below is extract from the printer error log.

I'd really appreciate any help. This thing is very annoying. Thanks!

OK, I understand borderless printing is not supported on plain paper, but I don't think a hard crash is an acceptable result.
I can live with the minimize margins turned on but that opens up another documented bug where the last line to line and a half are not printed on the last sheet in a print set, If you are only printing one sheet at a time than every sheet will be missing this print. Has HP come up with or even looked into why this is happening?
Thanks,

HP Photosmart Pro B9180 Printing Blank Sheets

I have a HP Photosmart Pro B9180 printer. I joined two scanned images into one photo and saved it as a .tif file. I then resized it to 8x10 and it printed fine. When I resized it again to print it as an 12x16 on 13x19 paper, the printer will only spit out blank sheets. I took it to a mini lab and they couldn't print it either.
Anybody have any ideas what might be wrong?
Bob

Hard Reset – While printer is powered ON, pull
the power cord from the printer then from the
wall. After 30 seconds reconnect power to wall
and printer. This will trigger a ‘dirty power up’
and restore the printer to a known good
condition (if it is possible). No user settings are
lost with a ‘hard reset’.
This ‘Hard Reset’ is one of the most powerful
tools to use when the printer hardware is not
functioning properly!

Acrobat 9 mixed orientation pdf file print problem

I have a pdf file with 10 pages or so. The pages change from landscape to portrait every so often. When I tell it to print, the file will only print until the orientation changes, then it will quit. Is there a way to get the file to print completely?

PDF files print in reverse order per page

Hi - I am trying to figure out if this is an adobe issue or a printing issue. It is happening only on this user who is on Adobe 9.1 -everyone else is on 7.0 and they aren't having this issue. So maybe it is a combo.
When the user prints a PDF which was a powerpoint file (she did not creat it was sent via email) she selects 2 per page and hten selects doublesided - landscape and collates staples top left hand side.
File prints doublesided and collates, but what would be slide one would be on the bottom of the page and what would be slide 2 would show at the top. On the back of the 1st page slide 3 is at the the bottom and slide 4 is at the top. Staples at the bottom right.
Printer settings seem ok......there is a selection for order and top to bottom is selected. Reverse order is NOT selected.
Are there any settings in Adobe that would cause this? I have googled and though there are some similar questions no one has answered.
specs:
Windows XP Professional SP3
Adobe 9.1 (latest updates)
Canon IR C5185 (multifunction color)
thanks in advance. Robin

Hey,
Please let me know what is your Reader version.
Open Reader and go to Edit->Preferences->Accessibility and deselect 'Replace Document Colors' option.
If this does not help, then try repairing Adobe Reader and then check.
Let me know.

Pdf files print with horizontal and vertical lines

All of a sudden, today, when I print pdf files, they print with horizontal and vertical lines. I thaught it was the computer or printer. So I printed from another computer on the network, and printed to a different printer with the same result. It is not just that one pdf file either, I have tried multiple files. HELP. Does anyone have any ideas?

It is not clear how you are creating the files. It appears that they were created by Distiller from PS files that were created in some way. I also noted that you are using AA8.1.0. You may want to try to update (do all the updates in order) as a possible fix. It may be in the creation process also. Several packages will split large graphics into parts and create the image. I think this is a characteristic of OFFICE 2007 (docx) files - but I am not sure yet. Tell us how you created the files - step by step, including the scan.
If you have the original documents, why not simply print to the Adobe PDF printer. The result would be smaller and a lot cleaner.

Photos on PDF file print in NEGATIVE

Twice in the past 2 weeks, creating PDF files from 2 different (Quark) documents, ALL THE (TIF) PHOTOS WERE PRINTING IN REVERSE (NEGATIVE)... On MY printer they were printing OK, but when sent to a 3rd party -- they keep printing reversed... Only the photos, not the whole page...
I use a script creating a PS file that converts to PDF via Distiller 7.0.
One incident was a full page ad, using Distiller's PDFX1a2001(1) (or maybe it was PDF/X-1a:2001, don't remember, is there a difference?)... The ad was published in the newspaper with all the photos in negative..... The pre-press guy at the newspaper couldn't figure it out...
The other was a newsletter, converted via Distiller's "Smallest File Size" --- the client called me this morning telling me all the photos show up reversed....
...This strange behavior is intermittent, it happened 2 weeks ago, and then today again, but none in-between and it never happened before.
I Google this issue, and noticed this has been mentioned in some forums in the past (even 2003), but no answers showing...
...Any idea would be greatly appreciated....

I am not sure if foreground works for you:

Pdf files print incorrectly with 10.1.7 update

I upgraded to the 10.1.7 Acrobat update a few days ago. Now when I print pdf files all the text prints as a solid garbled mass of compressed overlapping characters. Graphic elements print fine. I'm running CS5.5 on OSX 10.6.8 and printing on an Espson Stylus Photo 2200.
I've never had any problems printing pdf files prior to this. Is this a bug with the 10.1.7 update, or is it an incompatibility with my printer driver? For now I will have to go back and restore to a previous version of Acrobat in order to print.
Has anyone else had this experience or know how to fix it?

As a temporary measure you can try print as image. Since this happens on all pdf files, you can try re-instaling your printer driver and see if that helps.
