Windows 7 Printing Problem

I have a very peculiar printing problem using Acrobat 9.5.2.  The pages always prints like this:
<http://www.mytechnet.talktalk.net/Out-of-the-loop.pdf>
When I print the same page in Bullzip (a free pdf creator) it prints/creates the correct English file that can be read in Reader. 
I am using Windows 7 Professional with 8 Gb ram and 2 TB Disk Drive (1.8 TB free).  Is my installation corrupted or is there a simple fix for it.
Thanks.

This is a classic error when the fonts used in the document and your systems fonts aren't compatible or aren't the same.  What you could do is to NOT TO RELY on systems fonts as defaults and everything should work normally.  To do this try this:
1) Go to Start/Windows Orb
2) Click on Devices and Printers
3) Right-click on Adobe PDF
4) Click on Printing Preferences
5) Uncheck "Rely on systems fonts only; Do not use document fonts"
6) Click OK
You are now done and your documents should look normal on the screen.

Good luck.

  • More Airport, Bonjour, Windows printing problems

    I have posted about this before, about my own success in getting Windows 7 laptops to print via Bonjour through an Airport Extreme.  I thought I had it all figured out.  However, yesterday I replaced my older model Airport Extreme (first generation 1102.n) with the most current model (considered 5th generation). I configured the new Airport Extreme via Airport utility which allowed me to copy the exact settings of the old one.  Everything appeared to work fine until I tried to print from my HP laptop running Windows 7.  This laptop printed to our Canon Pixma MP490 (the Canon is hooked up via USB to the Extreme) via the older Airport Extreme and Bonjour without any problem. Interestingly, I had no problem installing the printer on the laptop using Bonjour--it shows it and appears to be in proper configuration.  I correctly put the Extreme's IP address as 10.0.1.1 as I have done before.   When I try to print, the dialogue box appears and shows the Canon 490 ready to go, but when I click to print, nothing happens, nothing appears in the que for the Canon printer.  I have tried the usual remedies, deleting and reinstalling the printer, restarting the Extreme and the laptop itself.  It just doesn't want to talk to the printer.  Any thoughts are appreciated.  I have done extensive web searching without any new ideas.

    The cover page of the following document is unprintable. You get an  error message saying "no pages selected" if you start with page 1. You  can only print the report if you avoid page 1 and start on page 2. I do not have problems with any other PDF documents.

    I'm using Windows XP and a Laserjet 1000. This problem occurs with both Adobe Reader X or Foxit Reader 4.1.1.8005
    Similar problems have been posted on http://forums.adobe.com/thread/392800
    So it must be something peculiar about the way the cover page is designed.

  • Problems Printing to Shared Windows Printer Via SAMBA (foomatic error 255)

    I can NOT print from my MacBookPro to a printer that's shared out from my Windows PC. Of course, printing to this same printer from my PC works fine.
    Please help me resolve this printing problem.
    Read on for more details regarding my printing woes!
    I can successfully setup my printer on the MAC side using the Printer Setup utility. I see the shared out printer on my MAC; I can pick the printer's manufacturer and model. Everything looks ok regarding the setup of the printer on the MAC side.
    However, when I try to print a file from the MAC, the printer never prints. The print job appears to get queued on the MAC side. However, after a few seconds, the printer queue displays "foomatic-rip stopped unexpectedly with error 255" (if I selected a foomatic printer driver from the hpijs). Otherwise, it says "NTSTATUS_NOMEMORY" error (if I selected a gutenprint driver instead).
    The PC's Windows event logs show no problems. Indeed, the Security event log shows successful authentication & access to the printer.
    The MAC's CUPS error_log displays the these error messages:
    GutenPrint fails with NTSTATUS_NOMEMORY error, then says Cannot connect to SAMBA host
    hpjisGhostscriptFoomatic fails with "The process 'foomatic-rip' stopped unexpectedly with status 255"
    Later, I will post the exact entries from this log (I am currently separated from my MAC laptop until later this evening).
    My Apple MacBookPro is running MAC OS X 10.4.11 ("Tiger"). The printer is an HP DeskJet 5150 connected via a USB port to my DELL 8400 PC. This desktop PC is running Microsoft's "Windows XP Pro Service Pack 2").
    Based on reading other posts (here) and at the Linux Open Foundation (printing), I have already done the following:
    Installed gutenprint;
    Installed foomatic (foomatic-rip v3.42.2.15);
    Installed ghostscript (espgs v7.07.1); &
    Installed hpijs (hpijs v2.7.10).
    NOTE: This is NOT the same problem that I posted earlier regarding inability to print to a shared printer with Leopard (MAC OS X 10.5.0). Today's posting deals with my inability to print to the shared printer from Tiger (MAC OS X 10.4.11).
    NOTE: This may be a "red herring" but you may need this additional background to help resolve my printing problem. Originally, I ran "Tiger" (MAC OS X 10.4.10) on my MacBookPro laptop. Of course, networked printing worked fine at this point. On October 28, 2007, I upgraded to "Leopard" (MAC OS X 10.5.0). Leopard was a "disaster" for me (printing, networking & many other problems). On November 9, 2007, I "punted" and re-installed "Tiger" (MAC OS X 10.4.10) from Apple's original CD. On November 15, 2007, I upgraded to MAC OS X 10.4.11 via Apple's software update utility. I vaguely recollect that networked printing was working after I returned back to Tiger.

    As promised in my initial post regarding my printing problem, here are the actual error messages displayed in the Print Queue (Hp5150) and the "cups" error_log when I try to print any file to my HP 5150 that's directly connected to my DELL PC (Windows XP Pro) but shared out so that my MacBookPro should be able to print to it.

    Again, the system Event logs on the Windows XP side show no error messages. In particular, the Security Event Log shows that authentication was successful; so, the MacBookPro's client process was granted access to the printer on the DELL PC side of the transaction.

  • Problems Printing to Shared Windows Printer

    After upgrading to Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5), I can no longer print to my HP DeskJet 5150 printer from my Apple MacBookPro laptop. This Deskjet printer is NOT directly connected to the laptop. Instead, it's directly connected to my Windows PC (via USB port). This printer is shared out from the Windows PC.
    I see the following error messages in the Printer Queue display every time I try to print something to that Windows shared printer:
    "Connection failed: NTSTATUS_CONNECTIONREFUSED"
    "Unable to connect to CIFS host, will retry in 60 seconds..."
    In addition, every print attempt requires me to enter my Windows authentication credentials:
    userid (on my Windows PC)
    password (on my Windows PC)
    I am absolutely sure that I have entered those credentials correctly. Yet, the error message above would seem to imply that Windows rejected my credentials for some reason. On the Windows side, the Security Event log entries appear fine (no corresponding failure gets logged when the print attempt fails).
    Of course, my printing to the shared out from Windows PC WORKED FLAWLESSLY under "Tiger" (Mac OS X 10.4.x). My problem started immediately after I upgraded to "Leopard" (Mac OS X 10.5) on October 28, 2007.
    Please advise me how to resolve this printing to a Windows shared printer problem.
    Thanks in advance,

    I'm having the same problem. Sharing an HPLJ5MP on WinXPSP2 box, and printer sharing was working fine under Tiger. After installing Leopard, can see and set up printer, but attempts to print test page are thwarted. Log:

  • Canon MG6220 wierd zooming/cropping printing problem, only when printing with Windows XP?

    The printer in question is a Canon Pixma MG6220, connected to a WindowsXP printer.  I've printed this same document on a Brother laser printer, that is connected to the same computer, and it prints correctly.  I've printed this same document on a Epson inkjet printer, and it prints correctly.  I've printed this same document at Staples, on one of their big laser printers, and it prints correctly.  So, this printing problem is only occurring with this Canon printer. One other thing that may help you with this, is that last night I moved this Canon printer to another computer, except this one had Windows 7 on it, and it printed flawlessly!  So, it seems that it may have something to do with Windows XP printer driver. 
    I'm printing a one page document from Word 2002 which consists of about 10 pictures, no text.  All the pictures on the page are the same height but a different width.  When I print the document, some of the pictures print correctly and some of them do not.
    Essentially, what is happening is that some pictures are zoomed in about 50%, yet still print in the same area that is set in the document.  So, the image looks like it has been rudely cropped.
    The oddest thing is that this only happens to some of the pictures.  There is nothing special about these pictures.  The pictures that print correctly are from the same source as the ones that don't print correctly. I’ve done other Word documents like this, with the same format but different pictures, and they printed wrong too, some pictures correct and some zoomed/cropped.
    Here is a summary of the pictures from the files I attached,  and which ones  printed correctly, and which did not:  The first one is a screen capture of the Word document, and the other is a scan of the printed document.
    Row 1
        Pic 1 – error (zoomed/cropped), Pic 2 – error, Pic 3 – correct, Pic 4 – error
    Row 2
        Pic 1 – correct, Pic 2 – correct, Pic 3 – correct
    Row 3
        Pic 1 – error, Pic 2 – error, Pic 3 – correct, Pic 4 – error
    Row 4
        Pic 1 – error, Pic 2 – error, Pic 3 – correct
    One observation of the incorrectly printed pictures, is that the upper left corners appear unaffected.  It is the lower right corners that get the weird zooming/cropping effect.

    Urgently restore a backup of the registry.
    Urgently do not use the word 'urgently' in a forum of volunteers.
    Also it can not be urgent, as Forms 4.5 dates from the Flintstone age, and probably isn't even certified on XP.
    However, the error message is very clear: Apparently Forms 4.5 uses the registry to store printer info: you need to get that entry back. That kind of info is usually documented. Documentation is likely still online.

    HP posted a workaround for this problem while they were working with Microsoft to get the root cause of the problem, many customers commented that the workaround helped them out and they were able to print. This workaround was not easy to use as the customer needed to add another printer manually and changed drivers.
    We can now announce that the problem has been fixed, the problem involved a Microsoft Network component that HP was using to talk to and track the printers on the network. This fix is being rolled out by Microsoft via Windows Update and anyone who has Windows Update enabled and set to automatically install updates should have already received this update. For those that do not have Windows Update setup to automatically install fixes the fix is available now and should be installed.
    The details of this fix and a manual method of installing it can be found here.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/3000461
    This fix is only designed for users that are using there printer on a Network (Wireless or Wired) and will not fix partial printing problems encountered with USB connections.

    @tenkeypro 
    First, I would suggest you uninstall the exsisting driver and reinstall following one of these documents to see if it will clear this error message:
    Install HP print and scan software on a Windows 8 computer (32-bit and 64-bit)
    Universal Print Driver (no scan)
    Driver support included in Windows 8 / Windows 8.1 or in Windows Update

  • Windows 10 caused printer problems

    Some of us found that uninstalling the printer and using the original CD to install like a new printer fixed problems like loss of the scan feature.    I am shocked that days after posts of printer problems caused by Windows 10 have not been answered by HP on this forum.   The solution above is so simple!   My next computer will not be HP.  No support !!!!!

    Hello , Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums, I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More. I came across your post about the sound, and wanted to assist you! To start, can you provide me with the Product Number of your notebook?  Here is a link you can use that will help you find your Model and Product Number: How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
    In the meantime, make sure you have drivers installed for your product that work with Windows 10.  You can find them using this site: HP Products - Where Do I Find Windows 10 Drivers and Software for My Model? If you are still having trouble, then you can try using the Go back to an earlier build option, in your System Settings: HP Notebook PCs - Upgrading to Windows 10
    Once you are back to your original Operating System, check to see if you are experiencing the same issue. If not, then you may consider holding off on the Windows 10 update for a few weeks, until drivers can be updated. Please let me know if this information was helpful by clicking the thumbs up below.

  • Windows Shared Printer - Problem adding: Error 256

    Getting error 256 (username and password) when trying to add a windows printer connected to the LAN which is shared.
    Any clues to the proper method of doing this?
    Beavis2084

    Unfortunately, I think several things can cause that
    error. Please try the Advanced Windows Printer via
    Samba technique:
    In Printer Setup, click Add, then hold the option key
    and click More Printers, select Advanced from the
    bottom of the first menu, select Windows printer via
    Samba. Enter the URI like this:
    smb://usernameonPC:password@[IP address of
    PC]/printersharename
    I have tried your suggestion but no success. To be clear, I used my Windows XP login name for "usernameonPC" and my server name for "IP address of PC" and my printer pool name for "printersharename". Was this right?
    I read elsewhere that I should turn on "Sharing" functions on my PC, which I tried. I also read that I need to make sure I have a "network account" which I tried. Nothing is working. Pretty frustrated now. Thanks for your help. Is there anything else I should be trying?

  • How does one print to enterprise Windows print services in Yosemite? CUPS 2.0 problem?

    One of my co-workers upgraded to Yosemite yesterday and it broke his ability to print to our corporate printing services (which are built around a Windows print server). Obviously, the printer discovery in the System Preferences can't find the Windows print server - that's never worked. However, we had previously been able to add a printer through the CUPS web front-end by adding a Windows printer and specifying an SMB URL in the format:
    smb://DOMAIN;USER:[email protected]/QUEUE-NAME
    ... which worked like a charm in Mavericks. However, Yosemite has upgraded to CUPS 2.0.0 and this no longer seems to work. Print jobs enter the CUPS queue, but authentication fails and they are not accepted by the remote server.
    I've consulted the CUPS 2.0.0 documentation, and there's not really anything helpful there. In fact, there's no mention of SMB / Windows printing at all in the 2.0.0 documentation. Unfortunately our campus print services does not support IPP, LP, LPR, or JetDirect as options -- just Windows printing.
    Does anyone have a suggestion?

    Just finished testing 10.10 printing via a Windows 2008 R2 print share. I also found that when trying to add the printer using CUPS I would get an authentication error. But if I added the printer using the Windows section of the Add printer pane, then I was able to print fine.
    So with you mentioning that using the Windows section of the Add printer window has never worked (which is interesting because it's always worked for me) I want to suggest another approach to adding the printer, still using the Add printer window. With this window open you can right-click on the toolbar and select Customize Toolbar. You can then drag the Advanced icon to the toolbar. Then when you select this, you can set the Type menu to "Windows via spoolss" and then enter the URL as smb://servername/sharename. Select the supporting driver and click Add to complete.
    Then when you select to print for the first time using this printer you will be prompted to authenticate. Enter the account details, set the save to Keychain option and OK to send the print job.
    This worked fine for me and creates the same queue as using the Windows add printer setting. Curious to hear if this gets your co-worker printing again.

  • Network Printer Problem from Mac to Windows

    Hi all, hoping someone can help. I have a Canon MF4350d printer which is shared on a windows machine. I can access the windows machine, I have installed the latest drive for this printer onto my mac, from the canon website and when i go to print I get the following:
    Canon UFR ll Printer Driver
    An error occurred.: -50
    Then the printer icon starts jumping and when i click on that I see the following under status:
    On Hold(Authentication required)
    I have yet to print from this macbook to a networked printer. Very disappointing.
    Anyone have this issue? Anyone know of a working fix? Thanks Guys.

    If you search within this forum (search block, upper right), you will see that PAHU has answered this several times. For example, search for "UFRII windows."
    Printing on OS X isn't quite as simple as on Windows - quite often, manufacturers provide drivers that are limited to the comm protocol "they want you to use," and Windows Printing (SMB) is usually not one of those. In fact, most USB printers get USB-only drivers.

  • Printing problem with printer EPSON 1070+

    Hi ,
    I am printing Document using  SAP smartforms on EPSON 1070+ Printer. The device type used for task is EPESCP.
    Page foramt I am using is DIN3.
    When print is taken on specified printer it is printing all content of document in one font and not in the font which has been attached part of text.Document is display properly(text in different fonts) in print preview,but output on actual printer comes differently.
    What should be done to correct problem ?
    Thanks in advance,
    Amit R

    Hi Amit,
    Have you checked by printing Word document on same printer??...
    If the right part of the paper still left blank, then margin setting of the printer in windows has problem,
    Otherwise check it in SPAD only.
    Also check your Margin settings at printer.

    I have a Canon MP610 which I can use just fine connected directly to my Macbook (running Leopard). But I am trying to connect to it wirelessly through a D-Link DIR655 and Windows XP workstation (the Windows computer is connected to the LAN port and the Canon printer is connected to the computer via a USB connection).
    I have Printer sharing checked under the Windows Printer Properties and I can “find’ the printer’s name wirelessly on my Macbook when I “add a printer” from the “Print & Fax” box, but I cannot find the driver. I have looked under the “Select a driver to use” option, and “Other” selection. I have installed the latest driver on the Macbook, but don’t know where it is for me to select when that window pops up for me to select one (“Print Using...”).
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Royce

    I had the exact same problem with my Canon MP760 when i was using Tiger. The only solution i found was to use an Airport Express base station to connect the printer, then it worked flawlessly. Seems to an issue that some Canon USB printer are not networkable unless they are connected to an Apple product.
    I hope you can find a solution other than having to buy another piece of hardware.

  • Printing to a Windows Print Server

    I consider myself pretty computer literate however I am comletely baffled at how to connect to a print server running Windows 2000 using my MacBook at work.
    I have tried going into:
    System Prefs > Print & Fax > add printer > more printers
    which brings me to two pull down menus that have options the options:
    "Apple Talk, Blue Tooth and Windows" printing as well as "Canon IJ Network, Epson Apple Talk & Wirewire, Espon TCP/IP etc" The second drop down says "Network Neighborhood" or "Workgroup".
    I am pretty sure I have tried every combo of these and nothing recognized the two printers on the server (Samsung ML-2150 and HP Business Inkjet 1200).
    I made sure I have the most recent version of both drivers for Tiger 10.4.7 and I can connect (and print) to each printer directly using USB but not through the network.
    I am using Airport to do so but I have used Ethernet cable as well to test and no luck. I am also hooked up through a Linksys WRV router and tried using a second router hooked up only to myself and the printer.
    Despite all of the above, please feel free to dumb down the suggestions as networking is not my strong suit.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I can update anyone with more info if there is something I have left out.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I have come across several of your posts in trying to resolve a problem connecting to a printer on a G5 from Windows 2000. This post I could reply to.
    First off, I think your documentation is great.
    I have read http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/3000.html to try and connect from a Windows 2000 box to a Mac G5 running 10.3. I have followed it to a 'T', but I get the message that I can't connect to the printer -- either the name is wrong or the printer is disconnected. Checked each case, and keep hitting the wall.
    I have been able to identify the Mac from the Windows box, and connect to a directory, but try as I might, the network printer will not show up in the network neighborhood. Typing in the name (queue_name) has not worked either.
    I checked the /etc/smb.conf and printcap files. Should I be manuall inserting the name of the printer into the smb.conf file?
    Stumped.
    Any ideas? Very frustrating bit this is.
    Thanks,

  • Printing to Shared Windows Printer (printer not listed)

    Hi
    I have an iMac with an intel processor running Leopard 10.5.2.
    I have a Canon iP1800 connected to a windows xp PC and I am wanting to print to this printer over my network.
    I can see the printer no problem and Mac OS will let me connect to it but my printer is not listed in the driver list.
    I have been on Canons website and downloaded the correct driver thats supposed to work with Leopard but even once I have installed this the printer still does not appear in the list.
    I'm sure this world work if I could only point Mac OS to the location of the printer driver.
    So my question is, how do I get my printer to appear in the list? or is there another way of doing this.
    Thanks

    When you say it doesn't show up for windows printing what do you mean?
    When I go to add a printer by clicking the + button I then select windows and the printer shows up there fine but when I click on the drop down menu print using, select a driver to use this is where it doesn't show up. Is this what you mean?
    If so I have been on the Gutenprint website but my printer is not listed. If I install the latest version would this work for me? What would I select in the print using drop down menu?
    Thanks
