A particular Apple Symbols glyph won't print correctly

I'm using ID CS under OSX 10.4.11. When I use a glyph from Apple Symbols (Unicode 21AA, a right-pointing arrow), it shows up okay in InDesign and also when I export to PDF. But when I print to a black and white laser (HP 5200L and HP 1200) it shows up as a rectangular box.
So I did a test. I tried a heart from Apple Symbols (Unicode 2665), and that did print okay.
In the Print Dialog box I have chosen Graphics > Font > Download Complete, and ticked the box called Download PPD fonts.
Any suggestions why this particular symbol doesn't print correctly?

I have revisited this problem to find out exactly where the problem lies. If anyone is interested to try to replicate the problem, you can download a small file called "Print Test" from here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?xz1dzxfxk09
The file is only a few lines of text with the relevant symbols. There are three symbols: a heart, an arrow, and a tent.
1. When I print with InDesign CS, the arrow and tent come out as vertical rectangles.
2. When I export as PDF and print, everything is OK.
3. When I copy the InDesign text, past in TextEdit and print, all is OK.
So it appears that InDesign CS is not printing certain symbols properly. Any suggestions as to why that would be?

HP Officejet Pro L7590 won't print correctly after it sits a few days Windows Vista USB connection

I have a HP Officejet Pro L7590 All In One. It all of a sudden will not print correctly after it sits a few days. I purchased a new black/yellow printhead recently and it did print well for about a week. If it sits a few days, it acts up again. All I have to do to fix it is take out the yellow/black printhead clean with sterile water on a q tip the printhead, put it back in, and walla it prints again until the next time I want to use the printer, and the same thing again. Today I printed out some pictures after not using the printer for 5 days, the pics had large vertical stripes in them, the stripes have colors in them. I cleaned the printhead and it worked perfectly. Any ideas. I have replaced the black cartride, and the yellow recently.
Thanks for any help

Rocky8,
This is a little outside our area of printing, but I'll try and help you the best I can. My question for you is the printer showing up under the USB menu in Parallels. If it's not showing up then you need to determine why the USB connection isn't showing up in your Parallels USB menu. This could be a couple of issues, but the one that I think might be happening is the version of the USB port your using. Can you verify that you're not connecting the printer via a USB 3.0 port. Try plugging into one of your other USB ports to see if the printer will show up in the parallels USB menu.

Hello pcmtgrl
Which model of the Officejet 8500A series do you have? Typically you can find it inside the printer where you change the ink cartridges. Example: A910g, A910a, etc.
Has anything changed recently since the problem started? Is the printer plugged into a wall outlet or a surge protector? Do you have the latest firmware installed? I also suggest running the HP Hardware Diagnostic Utility. Let me know if it finds anything out.

Image getting resized in website, won't print correctly. Help!

videoimagination.com
Yes, it's a template. Yes, it's hideous. No, I'll never do it
again.
Too late.
Anyway.
If you click the "Families" button on the top of the page,
then click on "Order Form" or "Film Gauge" links, my files open,
and there's the image.
Except...The film gauge chart must print actual size.
They're both empty html pages with a jpeg image inserted.
when I print the jpeg images from any editing program,
they're hunky-dory.
As soon as I insert the images into the empty html page, they
don't print actual size.
And I can't figure out how to make the order form default
print to landscape.
Any help appreciated.
I teach 9th grade in real life, so please use small words and
type slooooowly. It's been a long week.
Thanks in advance.
Allison

forget inches.
The image will print at the pixel size it is. If you want it
larger- make it
a larger pixel dimension in an image editor.

Can't force landscape printing in any practical way.
Adapt and overcome- turn the image 90 degrees and enlarge it
so it will fit
standard paper. Standard us paper would be about 612px by
792px. You have
to go smaller to deal with default margin settings in the
printer.
question- there is tons of scripting on the order form page
to test for
flash player, but there's no .swf in them.
Making the order form a .pdf would be okay probably.
If you make the images oversize, it depends on how the user's
Print Dialog
Box is set on what will happen. If it's set to print actual
size, extra
sheets of paper will come out. If it's set to "size to fit
paper" it will
shink to fit one page.
There are also absolute paths to your hard drive.

Glyphs Won't Print from Illustrator!

Why can't I get my glyphs or letter accents to print? They appear fine on screen, but once printed, they are missing or replaced with another character.

Sounds like a font problem. Try outlining them and less us know if that works, and what the font name is. Also would be very helpful if you provide your illustrator version and operating system when posting.
You may either need to clear your font cache, or update the font. Once you provide the info, will try to find a solution for you that does not involve outlining your font.

Envelopes won't print correctly to HP Color LaserJet 2550n

I have been having some printing issues since I set up our printer as a Bonjour printer with my AirPort Extreme Base Station. Ironically when I had our HP Color LaserJet 2550n set up as a networked printer on a LAN port of one of our Linksys routers my family had very few printing issues. It was in this configuration that I was able to print an envelope in Pages '08 without any problems. Now I can get the information to print, but if I put in a letter sized piece of paper to 'test' the information prints across the bottom of the page in correct format, but not in the correct orientation for a #10 envelope.
I have gone to page setup and changed the Paper Size to #10 envelope. This did not help. This is so frustrating since I was printing without issue when this printer was on a LAN port of our second Linksys router. I am now using Easy Envelopes from Ambrosia as a work around, but want to be able to print from within Pages '08, and not have to rely on Easy Envelopes or MS Word 2006. I am wondering if this has to do with the drivers that I had to use when I set up this printer on the USB port of my AirPort Extreme Base Station.

Well go figure. When I went to System Preferences/Print and Fax, and it showed two versions of my printer. The one with an accurate picture representing my printer, and one that used Generic Post Script drivers with a picture that did not look like my printer. So I uninstalled both printers, shut down my computer, did some things for awhile, restarted my computer, went to System Preferences/Print and Fax and clicked on the “+” to add a printer. The computer very quickly recognized up my printer with the correct picture for it. I added this printer, and went to Pages ’08 and it printed a #10 envelope without a hitch.
I think that what happened was that I recently did a reinstall of OS X Tiger, and as a part of that install I had a problem with the .DMG file I downloaded from HP’s web-site, and wonder if this is when the generic PS files were installed.
Anyway my printer seems to be working fine now, and maybe this will help someone with the same problem.

Won't print correct size of pictures

My computer runs Vista and I recently installed a HP 1510 series printer. It prints regular documents fine, but when I try to print 4x6 pictures it will not print the full size. I am given only one option in print job (Windows Photo Gallery is default software) full page. I have tried selecting and de-selecting "fit frame" and it made not difference. I have reset the printer a few times and checked to be sure all drivers were up-to-date. I just want to click on the picture and have it print the right size! Any help would be appreciated.

MaryLiz,
You do have to have the Full Feature Software installed for your printer for this to all work properly:
Install Full Feature Software - Printer
If you have the printer software installed, it is probably OK.
===========================================================================
If you select paper size 4X6, then you cannot also select the other options shown in that last column. These are mutually exclusive. The options that are available change according to the kind of paper you select.
Are you using 4X6 paper in the printer?
The printing preferences are something you have to set up the way you like -- and then change them when you change the paper, change the "thing" you are printing, change your mind about what you want...
You can click on a photo and have it automatically print a 4X6 photo if you have a printer with a photo-tray in it with photo paper loaded and ready to go. You would still have to change the printing preferences if you wanted to change the setup for any reason at all.
I think I might be missing the point entirely. My apologies for the Sloth-Brain. Smiling.

HP Photosmart Plus B209a - Won't print correctly straight from the web.

When printing directly from a web page using a print icon on the web page my printer prints the entire web page, sometimes jumbled up instead of just printing the page it should. I can temporarily fix this by going to: File → Print Preview → Print Frames and changing the setting from “As laid out on screen” to “Only the selected frames”. Is there any permanent fix to this?
My operating system is Windows XP Home Edition SP2 and IE 6.0.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Ausexpat

Thanks for that. I have just updated it to IE8 and it now works as advertised.

TextEdit font won't print correctly

When I change the font size in TextEdit, it shows up correctly on the screen and in the font box, but when I print it continues to print at the original size, not the size I want.
Help.

Hello @opawig ,
Welcome to the HP forum.
I understand that when you print a calender that no fonts will print.
I would like to help with this.
I would like to double check the printer.
If a print quality report is printed, what does the quality look like?
To print a quality report, touch the wrench icon on the printers display.
Select Tools, then touch Print Quality Report.
If the report is fine, the issue is probably with the app. If the report does not look right, then you may have a different issue.
Please let me know how the report looks.

OfficeJet 6500A - won't print correctly on letterhead

OE Vista
I am trying to print on a letterhead which has about a 3 inch dark picture at the top. The printer acts as if it is sensing the picture and it does not start printing until about half was down the page. It doesn't matter if I print directly from the program or if I put an original on the glass and try to make a copy onto the letterhead. There must be a setting I need to change but I can't find it.
THank you,

Does it only do this when you use the letterhead, or does it happen with other types of paper?

Apple store page won't load correctly help!!!

I am having the same problem in the apple store page. In Firefox works just great, but on safari wont load. I tried restoring safari, restaling it, and also cleaning fonts cache...
Suggestions????
Thanks a lot!

Hi ...
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Appearance tab.
Make sure: Display images when the page opens is selected.
If that box was already selected, try deleting the cache associated with Safari. (not the same as emptying the cache from the Safari menu bar.)
Quit Safari if it's open.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
For Lion v10.7x: To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library
Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Try Safari.

The toolbar at the top of my desktop is no longer white and doesn't show the little apple symbol

The toolbar on the desktop is no longer white and is missing the apple symbol. How do I correct this?

At the most top right point of the screen hover with your mousepointer: an icon of two small arrows will come visible, click that and the maximized application window will shrink and your "normal" desktop will become visible.

PDFs are not printing correctly in Adobe Reader 10.1.3

When I try to print pages from a PDF using Adobe Reader 10.1.3, some of the text is not printing. If I use another PDF program, such as Apple Preview, that text is printed correctly.

This is not a channel to official Adobe support. I cannot find the bug by the number you gave in the Adobe help system.

I can't connect my canon mp160 to my new apple iMac desktop. It just won't print although it comes up as the printer. there is no driver for this from canon who states that I probably don't need a driver for this

I can't connect my canon xp160 to my new IMAC. It does recognize it but won't print. there is no driver for this as per Canon and they state that I may not need one. thanks!1

If you want to print, then you will need a printer driver. There is no printer driver available from Apple for the MP160. And the last driver that Canon released for this model was for OS X 10.7. You may be able to install this 10.7 driver, although it is not digitally signed so Gatekeeper will block the installation. To get past Gatekeeper, you can hold down the Control key and click on the installer. A pop-up menu will appear. Select Open. You will then be given the option to install the old driver.
With the driver installed, add the printer via Printers & Scanners and see if you can print.

So my i just dropped my iPad and now it won't start up. It just keeps turning on and off. Like the apple symbol shows up and then goes away? What happened and is there a way to fix it. I tried restoring and that didn't work

I pretty much stated it in my question. I dropped my iPad and now it won't boot itself up. The apple symbol shows up, then the screen turns all black and weird looking with a strange green color at the bottom, and just turns off. It keeps doing this over and over. What happened and is there a way to fix it? I also tried connecting it to itunes and that doesn't seem to be working. It detects an ipad but can't seem to read anything else. It tells me to try and restore it but I can't. HELP!!!

Try this. It worked for a few users after a drop.
Turn the iPad over and give it a very HARD slap on the back. May take several slaps.
 Cheers, Tom
