After printing a few good lines, the print fades or has white lines through it. Suggestion?

My HHP 1610 has been causing me problems for months. I've replaced the cartridges a couple of times. I sometimes don't use it for a week or two so have dabbed alcohol on the ink disbursing face of the cartridge to moisten it. Neither the colour nor the black are working well today. How do I know if I need a new printer?

Try the troubleshooting steps here.
It is not good to manually wipe the nozzles, you can force air into the nozzle plate which can cause issues. Also, alcohol should not be put on the nozzle plate, it can cause the plate to delaminate from the underlying electronics. Alcohol can also dry out the capping station using the rubber to crack.

When I print a Word document to a shared printer, print preview looks fine but the printed page has too much blank space at the top and doesn't print the bottom few lines.

When I print a Word for Mac document to a shared printer (that is connected to my iMac) from my Macbook Pro, print preview looks fine but the printed page has too much blank space at the top and doesn't print the bottom few lines. I have tried to adjust the margins and the page setup settings but to no avail. It used to print fine until recently. Is there a way to fix it so that the printer prints what print preview shows?

I should add that when I e-mail this document to myself and print it directky from the iMac, it prints fine.

I can't print wirelessly using Airport Express. I have my HP printer connected to a USB hub, and the hub to the Airport Express, but when I select the HP from the printer list, my MacBook says the printer is "off-line" - even when it is not.

I have my HP printer connected to a USB hub, and the hub to the Airport Express, but when I select the HP from the printer list, my MacBook says the printer is "off-line" - even when it is not. I've tried several USB connectors, and several different ports on my USB hub; same result. I need to have the HP connected to the hub 'cause from there it's connected to our desktop Mac.

I am using AI CS2 on an eMac and cannot get the print menu options to recognize the print features like? I need to use mirror feature and high quality printing and it will not work.

jdanek
It is an eMac. I have a corrupted font book. How can I fix/re-install/or download a new font book app? Most fonts that were in it work, some do not, but I cannot open it nor can I install fonts into it. This happened after the eMac OS was upgraded from 10.3.9 to 10.4.11 and AI was upgraded to CS2

Adobe Printer did not appear in the printer list

Adobe Printer did not appear in the printer list after installing Acrobat Pro 12 month Subscription on Windows 7 Ultimate. I tried installing manually as per instructions but no help. Any suggestions?

Hi Michael,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I did the repair, I also installed updates to 11.0.05 but to no avail.
I uninstalled and reinstalled and followed all the same procedures including manually adding a printer usuing the 10 Adobe PDF Converters in the Xtras folder. No Success.
Any other suggestions?

I cannot print pages displayed by firefox, the printing just hangs when I go to File--- Print and press print.

If I want to print a page displayed by Firefox, I do the usual, I go to file, choose Print and press Print on the print window. Then the printer just hang, nothing happens.
No problem with MSN, Word, WordPerfect, Yahoo, etc
Thanks for your help.

There's no "pages" of information, it's one long page of preferences.
'''print.printer''' will be listed multiple times, there are like 3 dozen or more preferences for each printer. If you have more than one printer there will be groups of prefs for each printer.
You can try resetting only '''print.print_printer''' and then restart Firefox, and see if that solves your problem. But chances are that you may need to reset every pref for that printer.
Also make sure that you don't have multiples of the same prefs for that printer. It is very possible that you may find duplicates like this or similar. <br />
'''print.printer_HP Officejet 6500_Series(2).print_evenpages'''
(2) or (3) in a pref means you have multiple prefs for the same printer ''(usually caused by installing the print drivers multiple times without uninstalling the old drivers first)'', and that can cause problems with Firefox; the "printer" driver you select probably ain't gonna be the one that is really "installed". If you see something like that, you will definitely need to reset every pref for that printer; the duplicates will be gone after the restart and won't return after you use your printer the first time after the reset.

Firefox doesn't seem to be able to print to my printer i.e no response from my printer when I click on the PRINT button on an online receipt

This has happened once before recently and I fixed it by restoring my computer to an earlier date. I don't know what changes but this shouldn't happen and has never happened until fairly recently.
Example: I buy something on line and try to print out a receipt but the printer does not respond. Under this situation I have to copy the receipt and paste it into a word processor.This does not happen in IE which I seldom use except out of frustration under these circumstances

Select a document, CMD+P, and set the color options as shown here:

I am trying to connect a Windows 7 / 64 bit to an Epson printer on my Mac. The printer is hooked into the Mac via USB; the Mac is networked to a Linksys wireless router with an ethernet cable, as is the Windows box. Any tips on how to do this?

I am trying to connect a Windows 7 / 64 bit to an Epson printer on my Mac. The printer is hooked into the Mac via USB; the Mac is networked to a Linksys wireless router with an ethernet cable, as is the Windows box. I installed the current Bonjour printer services software on the Windows machine, and separately installed the driver software for the Epson printer on the WIndows machine. Running the bonjour wizard, I get an alert saying 'I don't have sufficient access to my computer to connect to the selected printer'.
The printer has 'sharing' turned on from the Mac end; this works with a Powerbook via the wireless connection. Sharing is also turned on in the Windows printer control panel for this printer (under properties). The Mac is a G5 running 10.5.8. When I try to print a page from the Windows machine it gets hung in the print queue.
Any advice how to proceed would be appreciated!
thx,

I can no longer print to the 3 Canon printers on my local area network. The print dialog box states that the print file is accepted and the job is printing, but the files never print. Everything worked when the computer and printers were initially set up.

I can't help with the scan/print problem. You seem to have done everything I would try.
I don't know if maybe using a registry cleaner would help.

Hello Bruarong,
It sounds like you are unable to print to your printer from Mac OS X Lion. I recommend the troublehsooting from the article named:
Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3147
Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Try updating the printer driver.
