B8550 prints text in cyan only

Hey all
I've done just about everything two different computers two different os reloaded drivers changed carts. nuthin.
internal test prints are excellent but anything sent from any computer, the text is always cyan no matter what suite I'm working in. Photos look good text is all cyan even embeded from photoshop. Help!

Most printers have a test mode you can operate from the on printer menu. Can you run that test to see if it can get all the colors? The colors may simply be out of alignment.

B8550 Print Black and White Only

Is there a way to print in Black and White only on my B8550?
I use a MAC w/ 10.6

Hi oldstrings,
You can change the print setting to print in grayscale(using black ink only).
I have extracted out the printer setting tips for both windows and mac.
Alternatively, you may refer to the below user guide reference link.

Canon pixma ip 4200 prints gray and cyan only

The problem came just after installing new original cartridges (no refill) I have never used refill or non canon cartridges.
The test print function showed homogen grey tone where magenta and yellow should be; i think when nozzles are clocked there should be no print for the colur field in the testpage or stripes but not a homogen normal greytone; so i think it may be also a driver problem.
But may be some experienced persons may know what it is;
What i did so far: Safeboot, reparing permissions; this did not suceed at first; After cleaning with the printer utility colour came back slowly; After two days of not using the printer > same problem again!
Thank u for help

Not printing text-only graphics on Canon. Not printer problem-print ok on Brother and another network Apple prints ok on Canon. Believe a computer setting was inadvertently reset. What setting and how do I reset?

Not printing text only on Canon--grahics print ok. Not printer problem. Prints ok on a Brother and another network Apple prints ok on Canon. Believe a computer setting was inadvertently reset. What setting and how do I reset?

Without your printer model numbers, readers can only give you vague general directions.
System Preferences > Print&Fax > ...
... shows a list of all set-up printers.
If you are having serious problems, it makes sense to "Reset the Printing System" (which also removes all printer set-ups) and add back each printer. It only takes a few minutes.

Printing text using jdk 1.4...only first character in string output

I have read way too many forum postings and still can't get simple ascii to come out my printer. Please don't point me to awt printing samples. I don't want the overhead/baggage of graphics contexts when they shouldn't be needed.
If I create a printer that's a file (set to generic/ascii), then after printing and giving a filename the file contents look ok. So, this seems to be a DocFlavor issue or something.
However when I try to print to a network printer (usb attached), I only get at best a single character on my page.
The following is tracing from my print method (shows text to be printed and doc flavors supported by printer):
PrinterImpl::print(text=hello world)
image/gif; class="[B"
image/gif; class="java.io.InputStream"
image/gif; class="java.net.URL"
image/jpeg; class="[B"
image/jpeg; class="java.io.InputStream"
image/jpeg; class="java.net.URL"
image/png; class="[B"
image/png; class="java.io.InputStream"
image/png; class="java.net.URL"
application/x-java-jvm-local-objectref; class="java.awt.print.Pageable"
application/x-java-jvm-local-objectref; class="java.awt.print.Printable"
application/octet-stream; class="[B"
application/octet-stream; class="java.net.URL"
application/octet-stream; class="java.io.InputStream"
It appears, that besides copious image printing support (why PNG and not TEXT?!?!?!?) I can print Printable's from the awt api, as well as byte arrays and input streams. I wish to not use the awt printing api.
I have tried all mentioned DocFlavors regarding BYTE_ARRAY.AUTOSENSE, etc. Nothing gives me more than a single character of output.
Any ideas? I'm getting a little burnt out on this problem.
Thanks.

I cannot comment on the 2 examples you referenced, because I don't have a Postscript printer, but your own example does not work, at least under Win2K, neither on a USB nor an ASCII printer, here is why (aside from the fact that it contains 2 or 3 formal errors).
I am trying desparately to print a simple ASCII file on a USB printer under Win2K since weeks and found 2 problems, but no solution so far.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Java PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices() returns nothing
=============================================================
I want to print a simple ASCII file on a USB printer under Win2K and found 2 problems. Here is the 1st one.
PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(<DocFlavor>, <AttributeSet>) returns nothing when I specify any AttributeSet:
PrintRequestAttributeSet aset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
I tried
aset.add(new Copies(1));
or
aset.add(MediaSizeName.ISO_A4);
I tried it with JDK 1.4.2 and with Java 6, same problem.
When I specify null for AttributeSet, I get as many services as I have printers specified in the Printers folder of the Control panel.
I have scanned quite a few contributions about this subject, and it looks like this problem has been around since years, but I haven't found a solution.
But there is a circumvention of the problem for a parallel printer (at least an HP Laserjet 4 Plus): forget lookupPrintServices, just use the default printer. It works. Here are the essential code lines to print a simple ASCII file in Win2K.
//String fileID = = args[0];
FileInputStream textStream = new FileInputStream(fileID);
PrintService defService = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
DocFlavor myFormat = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE;
PrintRequestAttributeSet aset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
aset.add(MediaSizeName.ISO_A4);
DocPrintJob job = defService.createPrintJob();
Doc myDoc = new SimpleDoc(textStream, myFormat, null);
try {
job.print(myDoc, aset);
} catch (PrintException pe) {
System.out.println(pe.toString());

Cannot print on a USB printer with Java PrintService
====================================================
I want to print a simple ASCII file on a USB printer under Win2K and
found 2 problems. Here is the 2nd one.
Even though
PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(<DocFlavor>, <AttributeSet>)
returns nothing when I specify any AttributeSet, I can still print on the default printer, which I get by
PrintService defServicedefService = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
but only on a parallel printer (HP Laserjet 4 Plus), either directly attached or over the network. When I try the very same code on a locally USB-attached printer, the printer is obviously reacting, but nothing is printed.
In case of a Lexmark 730 (an ink printer), the driver even lies, it has printed 100%,
on a Samsung CLP-510 (a color laser) the ready light flashes twice, that's all.
The file to be printed has 5 lines and a "0C"X at the end in order to force a page eject at the end.
I tried it with JDK 1.4.2 and with Java 6, same problem.
I should mention that I can print that little file out of the editor Textpad without any problem.

Adobe Reader 9.1.3 fr does not print text, only graphix

I recently had a problem with windows live hotmail, removed the recently installed adobe reader usin windows removing program to test the problem with no change then reinstalled adobe reader, since i connot print any pdf file, only the graphix is printed. I have : windows family vista french on a dell 530.

To clarify my previous post, I had already seen http://forums.adobe.com/message/1770581 . I mentioned in my post that I get the message "Preview not supported" when I click the Preview button from the print dialog in Adobe Reader, and thus concluded that the "Preview" workaround discussed in that thread wasn't helping me.
However, re-reading that post, they were talking about using the Mac "Preview" application to print the pdf file. Like every other application (other than Reader) I have tried, the Mac's Preview application prints just fine, and is another workaround.
The only program that doesn't print for me is Adobe Reader.
BTW, I also have an Intel chip in my MacBook Pro.
Re-installing Leopard, as suggested by one post in that thread, is not a reasonable option for this problem.
In fact, since Preview allows me to view and print .pdf's , my solution is probably just going to be not to use Adobe Reader. In fact, had I not been new to the Mac, I would have known that I didn't need Adobe Reader at all.
However, I'm glad this happened, in the sense that I use CS3 on the PC, and had considered moving to CS4 on the Mac. However, since Adobe apparently hasn't figured out how to get printing to work on a Mac from their flagship product (!), I will be sure to do a lot of testing of CS4 before considering buying the upgrade.

What would cause the printer to only print text in microsoft word but no images

i have a hp deskjet D1320 printer, windows xp operating system, and i have always printed greeting cards from microsoft word by inserting an image and then printing it with the printer set to duplex(2sided)printing option, so after you print the image you flip the card around and then print the text on the inside of the card. now the printer does not print any images when i insert the image and then click print it just runs 1 piece of paper through the printer and stops but it will still print text just fine, does anyone know what would cause this type of an issue?
thank-you,
hwnugent

Hi there hwnugent,
Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on. Let us know the results.
Best of Luck!

Print text file with labview 2011 and windows 7

I am having some strange problem, hope someone out there knows the solution.
We have a labview program running under windows xp, the program runs some test and print label from a local label printer. Last week, I have to upgrade the computer to windows 7 and all the sudden the printer will not print any more.
The print vi is very simple. I am using the report function and I am attaching the diagram of that vi below.
If I use windows notepad to open that small text file, I can print fine. This means the printer driver itself is OK. However, if I print the same text file through Labview printing vi, from the printer's task list, I can see it does not recognize the char. From the attached png file, the top one is the task from notepad, it shows 2 pages and the bottom one is from the labview, it becomes 33 pages.
For the printer part, I use Generic / Text Only printer driver which comes from windows itself. And I am aslo attaching a sample of the text file, there are quite a lot of special char, it is for print bar code. When I tried to use labview print text vi to print general text from my computer to a regular printer, the vi works. So it seems Labview print can not handle the special char? Although it worked many years under windows XP in the past.
Welcome to any suggestions!
Thanks

where to check RAW or TEXT? the print report vi only asks for file name and printer name.
When I print from notepad, everything just goes by default. This is a label printer, so I never need to specify printing parameter such as size, orientation, etc in the past
Famous last words go something like this: "...never had to do that before." Maybe you have to do that now. It's worth at least comparing the defaults settings for bothe generic drivers. It could save you a lot of headache if you notice something different.

How to Print Text in WAD 7.0

hi
i have created a web template using WEB APPLICATION DESIGNER
now i have added few custom texts in it like
Report name,Cost centers ,Plant Names
now if i use Export to command to create print , it is not printing this custom texts
it is only printing Query Result.
If i use File -> Print
this print texts but cannot print WHOLE QUERY DATA
it only prints what is visible (e.g. if the report is wide with 20 Columns, it cannot print 20 columns.)
how to resolve this ??

Hi kartikey,
just select a text item and enter the text at the last parameter TEXT_CONTENT, that´s it. You may change the style and so on. It is also possible to bind the data provider and display the query title or other generic text.

How to Print text in two main windows

For printing label have created two main windows on a page. calling function write_form In ABAP Program under do loop for two times.
but program prints only one window. why is it so? how can i print text on two windows.
do 2 times.
COUNT = COUNT + 1.
loop at itab WHERE DEPTT LT 200.
    CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'
      EXPORTING
        ELEMENT = 'TEST'
        FUNCTION = 'SET'
        TYPE     = 'BODY'
      WINDOW   = 'MAIN'
      EXCEPTIONS
       ELEMENT   = 1
       FUNCTION = 2
       TYPE      = 3
       UNOPENED = 4
       UNSTARTED = 5
       WINDOW    = 6
       OTHERS    = 7.
endloop.
enddo.
Please guide.

Since the information is variable and coming out of the print program, I can assume you want to print many labels but two to a page. Also, any page numbering, etc will need to be updated. This is easily accomplished with SAPScript but a feature people rarely use I believe. Here are the simple steps:
1) On the Windows Screen: Creat a main window for the size of the label, etc knowing that you will be putting multiple windows on a page. For example, if page size is 8.5 x 11, maybe your window size is 6 X 4 or something similar. You only need one main window defined.
2) Now go to Page Windows Screen. Add a window MAIN and down at the bottom where it says Window Type put in MAIN. Next to this field is a little field about two characters long. In here put in '01'.
3) Now Add another window MAIN and down at the bottom put in '02'.
Hopefully this gives you the idea. I've done this with up to 30 small windows in order to print variable window for labels on label stock such as Avery 8167, etc.
Good Luck!

HP LaserJet Pro 400 MFP M425dn won't print text at 72 point size or larger

My workplace recently purchased an HP LaserJet Pro 400 MFP M425dn all-in-one printer. It works excellently with the exception of the fact that it won't print text that's 72 points or larger in size. I've tried numerous fonts that're pre-installed with Windows, and all of them print properly at point size 71.5 or smaller; anything else simply doesn't show up in prints. The content that's sized at 72 points or higher *does* affect the flow of other printed content on the page, however. It's like the 72-point or larger text is occupying space, but it's completely invisible on the printed page. I've tested this using Microsoft Word 2002 on three separate computers, two of which have Windows 7 installed and one of which has Windows Vista installed. The problem is identical on all three computers. The printer is connected via ethernet cable to our wired network. I've installed the included printer software, and I don't believe that there are any updates to it that weren't installed up to this point. Any thoughts on how to resolve this issue?

hello, i only made an account to solve this for you guys because it has been a headache for me also.... let me apologize before hand for terrible grammar and punctuation i am in a huge hurry Now this may not work for everybody but i fixed it on my machine with the following now before you print ...use (ctrl+p) in your word processor to open the print window click on (properties) then navigate to the (advanced) tab now, I have a section called printer features under this category there is an option to "send truetype as bitmap" enable this and see if it can help any of you, for me, with this ENABLED I can print any size font my word processor will allow me to type specs of my machinedell d6420win7msoft word 2007 printer itself is hp laserjet 200 color m276 printer driver is HP LaserJet 200 color MFP M276 PCL 6 i understand that this printer and driver is not identical to yours per se but the nature of these drivers makes it highly likely that this solution will work for most of you if this helps, have somebody else post it more noticeably because i will probly not be signing back in to this website i created this account just to post this and hopefully solve this annoying issue for many of you ...no kudos needed

Printer won't print text documents

My HP 4300 series all in one printer prints images but won't print text from word processor documents. If I print a test page it will only print the image part but none of the text will appear. Blank pages are printed when I attempt to print text from a word processor however images are printed perfectly from web pages etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated so that I can have full functionality of my printer again.
