Appleworks print prob

I've had a problem printing images from appleworks with my new HP printer. There are pale or dark stripes running through images. HP did worked through a series of tests with me, and concluded that it was a mechanical prob with the printer. They sent me a new printer, but the problem persists. It must be Appleworks. Does anyone know of this happening before, and of any solutions? The stripes are always in the same place on individual images, even if I place several separate images around the page.
Any help much appreciated!

HP printers are notorious around here for not "playing nice" with AppleWorks (& they don't do very well with Pages, either). The usual suggestions are to make sure you have the most recent printer driver from HP's web site & to delete the AppleWorks preferences. See my user tip, AppleWorks has stopped working correctly, for more on the preferences.

  • Appleworks 6.4 printing probs

    Sorry this is long, but the following probs have arisen at home & at work since updating to 10.4.4 & a/wx 6.4:
    Many of my previous template documents now only print in a sort of dark grey, although they are black on-screen, and those created since updating print fine.
    Printing in general:
    1 Printing collated [ie pages in reverse order] is the only outcome, whether it's selected or not.
    2 First printing after opening Appleworx is fine, but subsequently one can only print 1 copy at a time, and only 'all pages' - the radio buttons and number boxes do not respond.
    We use canon printers, but so does the 'puter with 10.3 and a/wx 6.2.2, with no probs. There isn't a driver update, and I've tried reinstalling printer & a/wx

    since updating to 10.4.4 &
    a/wx 6.4:
    In addition to Barbara's (and Peggy's) suggestions, have you Fixed Permissions since the update? Use the Disk utility application (in Utilities in your Applications folder) the fix permissions after any software installation or update.
    Regards,
    Barry
    BTW, "collate" isn't "reverse order", it's 'print each set of pages as a separate set' as opposed to 'print all copies of page 1, then all copies of page 2...'

  • Appleworks Printing Problem

    Hi,
    I recently bought a Brother DCP 7020 Laser printer and I have been very pleased with it. Alas when I tried printing a file created in Appleworks today I found that when I clicked on Print and then attempted to change the print quality from Normal to Fine under the Print Settings menu things did not work. In fact, when I clicked on the radio button beside Fine instead of the blue color with black dot moving from Normal to Fine they both held the blue active color. When I next clicked on Super Fine it too showed the blue color with black dot signifying it was the active choice.
    While Apple supposedly rose to his present position by offering computer users more choices, I have a feeling that even ole Steve wouldn't try to print out a single file as Normal, Fine, and Super Fine all at the same time.
    I've tried printing things in Safari, Pages, Quicken, etc. with no problem. Only in Appleworks do I run into this problem. I tried fixing permisions etc. all to no avail.
    Anybody know what's going on here?
    Thanks,
    Win

    Peggy,
    After I posted my problem I dug into things a bit more and this is what I came up with. When I want to print something in Appleworks I open the file I want to print, then go to File, print. When the print dialog box comes up I click on Copies and Pages and then instead of clicking on Print Settings the way I do in all my other applications I click on Appleworks. Then I go to the Presets and select the preset that I want to use, e.g. Laser Normal, Laser Super Fine, etc. For some reason I can not create a preset while in Appleworks as when I go to Print Settings I experience the problem already mentioned in my earlier post.
    All of this may make sense to you?? But I have to say that although I managed to get things to print out the way I want them to I have no idea why I have to select Appleworks rather than Print Settings.
    I would love to have you attempt an explaination.
    Thanks,
    Winston

  • Epson Driver/Printer Probs!

    I have a mac mini. I'm using the Epson Stylus Color Printer 740i that I've had for ages (bought and used with my iBook in early 2000).
    When I want to print, I have to disconnect (USB) my mini, turn on my iBook, print something, and then reconnect to my mini. Seems like I'm pushing something through (as if the line is clogged and it doesn't/can't print my request) like opening a door or something on the printer with the iBook and once open, I can print with the mini by just re-connecting the USB.
    Hummm???
    I've written Epson/Apple but they kicked the ball back to Apple/Epson about finding my driver on the install disc/the Espon site, which didn't help.
    I'm starting to think that the prob is with the Epson (a great sturdy printer but maybe out of date).
    Thanks for the help, advice!

    I'm a bit confused. It looks like that there's a dedicated TX100 driver. Is the 2500 driver for this printer also?
    pacman -Ql gutenprint | grep -i tx100
    gutenprint /usr/share/cups/model/C/stp-escp2-tx100.5.2.ppd.g
    If this doesn't work, definitely let me know. I have something that we can try, but I want to exhaust the easier stuff first.
    --EDIT--
    I was having trouble with printing with my Epson printer when coreutils 7.1 got into the repos. Before that it worked perfectly ever since I had it. It turned out that a simple rebuild of libcups fixed the problem. I grabbed the PKGBUILD from ABS and rebuilt with no changes to the PKGBUILD. After installation printing worked again. I don't remember if I had to restart the CUPS daemon again, but that's a simple step anyway.

  • Appleworks Print Quality Question

    I am using Appleworks 6.2.4 and iPhoto 7.1.5. I have been trying to put together an Appleworks (drawing) document that includes a photo that I exported from iPhoto. I have tried various exports, various printer settings (using a Cannon i960 photo printer)but no matter what I do I cannot get the imported photo to print in as nice a quality as it prints when I print straight from iPhoto.
    I have tried:
    -exporting as "current" quality from iPhoto (1.2 meg file) and using Appleworks scale by percentage to reduce to 4x6 size.
    -exporting as JPEG at medium (24 k), high (32 k), and maximum quality (120 k) and printing without adjusting size in Appleworks at all.
    Surely this can be done, iPhoto is able to reduce the photo to 4x6 size and print crisply, why is it so difficult to get Appleworks to do the same?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    AppleWorks changes the resolution of all graphic formats except PICT to 72 dpi. There are a couple of things you can do improve the print quality of images.
    1. Turn on Fractional Character widths in Preferences > General > Topic: Text. This is a text setting, but it does improve the print quality of images.
    Open the image in Preview (32-bit) or GraphicConverter & Save As... a PICT to use in AppleWorks. PICT is generally the best format to use for inserting or pasting into AppleWorks.

  • Appleworks printing in different colors

    When I use Appleworks, it's in blue ink and sometimes green. When it prints, it prints in these colors. I just want black. How do I switch it to black?

    Hi,
       For that do the following steps.
    1) Keep the next page of page1 as PAGE2.
    2) Keep the next page of PAGE2 as PAGE2.
    3) Keep a counter(lcount) in the table from which you are printing the data and keep incrementing it for every loop pass.
    4) Before looping the table use describe table statement to get the number of records present in that internal table and store in another variable(rcount).
    5) Then right click on the table footer and there  create a COMMAND  and there in the condiitons give as
         rcount  = lcount.
    so because of that the data will print properly and when once all the data is over the command will be triggered and it will automatically go to the last page.

  • Cheque printing prob

    Hi Friends,
        in F110 tcode i gave print for cheaque but it displays the message "Print job F110-20090623-SW1-1 has been scheduled" .
       in sm37 it displays but there is no spool.?
       in which Tcode we run the Existing spool number?
       is there any other transaction code to print the cheque?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Vallamuthu.M

    Hi,
    First check whether u receive the mssg 'Posting orders: 1 generated, 1 completed' in F110 Status tab, if u get that then only u can print & view in spool.
    if u receive that mssg, then check the Job Log in SM37 and if u see this mssg 'Document 5160 2009 0220000000 already exists in the check file', it means the cheque has already printed...u need to reprint it again...for that check with ur functional contact...he may help you to resolve this...
    Hope it helps!!

  • Cannot create tints in Illustrator CS + printing prob's

    I just downloaded the most recent updates yesterday and now my tint sliders have disappeared. I also cannot print correctly from a native file, I have to save as a pdf and print from Acrobat. I am using a bloody Windows machine so that could be the problem ... Windows 7 Pro, 64bit w/ 8GB RAM on HP Z220 CMT Workstation. Help?

    c,
    You may try the list (it is actually possible to have the preferences corrupt already at installation).
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • Appleworks prints unwanted shading

    I am printing to an HP Color LaserJet 2500n over a small office network. The document is a draw document set up as an Office Memo. It has boxes on it created in AW draw. Prior to AW 6.2.9, the boxes printed white as intended. After installing 6.2.9, the boxes print with a light, off-white, cream colored shading. This happens from both an eMac and a G5 Tower running AW 6.2.9. and OS 10.4.3. A recently purchased iMac G5 running AW 6.2.9 and OS 10.4.3 prints the same document correctly, that is, with a white (or no color) box.
    Any ideas?

    Have you tried the solutions on this thread?
    regards, CF
    I work for HP and hope to make your day Sproutastic!

  • Printing probs in mountain lion.

    Hello there,
    I've a 27" iMac 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM memory, under OS X version 10.8.2. But since i installed the new OS the headaches is a continuum feeling.
    I use my computer for work, mainly computer simulations using  fortran. In the new version it's impossible to run my old codes because there is a change in the system files. The virtual box doesn't work. The scanning support I got the past week. So, a cumbersome problem that discourages me to look for and install new MAC OS updates. On my best guesses the people from Mac don't think about final users need. In the continuity of their work.
    The most annoying situation is the problems during the printing procces. Some time the computer-printer conection work and some time don't. I have an old and perfectly functioning HP LajerJet 5MP, unless I'm in OS X 10.8.2.
    I followed all indications and comments that are in the forums. But nothing works.
    Some comments, links or something that could help having a smooth printing.
    Best,
    Erwin

    Hi Erwin,
    I had a similar problem printing on a network.  Tried several different things and finally had to roll back to 10.8.1.

    Hello,
    From the True Color graphics only 24 bit True Colors graphics are
    supported by SAP.
    So check if your image is a true color bitmap with 16,7 millions (24
    BitsPerPixel) colors. The SAP has to convert it to a bitmap with 256
    colors during the upload. Here the colors can slightly change.
    Please decrease the color depth of the image and upload in your system
    again.
    Maybe the result will be much better after this.
    Regards,
    David

  • Printing probs with 10.1.3 (not 10.1.2)

    I already have the update to 10.1.3 but am still unable to print (stops before I get a print window), sometimes even unable to open - just get a Windows message telling me there is an error and Adobe Reader will shut down.
    Have run Repair and nothing changed in Adobe Reader (but the computer didn't want to shut down immediately thereafter).
    Any help please? (am frantic as my exam notes are in pdf format - as are the backups - and exam in 2 days). Ta

    Here's a story of how I got this working... kind of a mystery still, but that's what we have to deal with all the time, isn't it?
    I had the same problem, installing 10.1.2 caused a blank screen, or a stuck progress bar, when loading PDFs in IE9. The PDFs in question are dynamically generated with IText, embedded in html via a <object> tag, and served up via Jboss (Tomcat) 5.1.0.  There were no issues in Firefox.  We also had several users report similar issues with IE8.
    What seemed to fix it (at least on my local environment) for me was to, add a Content-Length header with the file size, remove the compressableMimeType="application/pdf" in the server configuration.
    However, on a different environment, it still wasn't working (grey screen, stuck progress bar in IE), so I set a debug point.  The download method was being called 3 times - I had several Cache-Control headers set in an attempt to prevent caching.  Removing these headers seemed to help, now the download method is being called only once, or sometimes twice.  I found a MS article I found that seemed relevant: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/293792
    Possibly the multiple-request, user-agent='contype' thing with IE is really screwing up the new version of the plug-in.  I read the MS article, added a check for user-agent='contype' and returning only the Content-Type header instead of the whole document -- seemed to improve things.
    However several PDF form elements were still screwed up - missing submit button, combo box fields with missing options.
    Latest update:  This combo of configurations seems to be working on both firefox and IE9 with reader 10.1.12:
    1. removed content-length, it was causing other problems
    2. added check for user-agent='contype' and returning only headers
    3. removed cach-control headers
    4. compressableMimeType = 'application/pdf' is enabled in Tomcat config
    My hunch is #2 was the real problem, would need further testing to know for sure.

  • Prodn Ord print prob (order locked under transaction CO02).

    Hello,
    The requirement is when I am releasing a producton order it should get printed. Now when I release and save production order, i get a message as "This order is locked under transaction CO02".
    The release takes place (status is REL), but th print does not take place (no spool in work order case LV01). If I reprint this order, it is printed correctly.
    If I double click on the message, I do not get any information.
    In OPK8 Flow control for transaction, eveything is * and the radio button Online is selected. Does this have any relevance in this case?
    I have not seen this message before during release of production order.
    Thanks in advance fo your assistance.
