Black text prints with screen in non PS digital printer

I'm trying to find a way to print a color CS3 document to our Panasonic DP-C264 so that the black text prints solid black with no screening. It works if I use the PS driver, but some of the finishing options we need aren't available in that driver. The only other way I've found to get solid black text is to output in grayscale, but obviously that's not acceptable for a color job! So far I've tried making sure the transparency flattening is set to high, set the text attributes to "overprint fill," set text to print black in the print dialog box... but no joy; I always get screened black text.
Ultimately we want to offer a solution for customers who are creating documents in InDesign (CS through CS3) and creating PDFs for us to print for them. So if there is a way to get the text to go solid black in the PDF process, that would be great to know also.
Ideas??

I will check on that when I print from PDF -- I'm starting out by printing directly from InDesign first though. I figure it it doesn't work from the original application there's not much point in going to PDF...!! Thanks for the idea though; I wasn't aware of the Print As Image option.
Cheers,
Linda

If I paste the jpeg on a draw page and shrink it to fit, fuzzy print. If I create the text directly on a draw page, it's fine. (That suggests to me the problem isn't in the printer.) But I want to include a small drawing on the card, and the pasted jpeg of that small drawing is very poor quality.

I have a iPhone 4S and a Cannon Printer with AirPrint. I have the printer and the iPhone both on the same network, however I still can't locate the printer on the phone. Works just fine with the laptop on the same network. Any suggestions?

ok no problem! all i did was 1) set up the mobile hotspot on my phone. 2) turn it and wifi on on the phone. 3) connect the laptop/desktop to the hotspot network. 4) insert setup disk for the printer and begin setup. 5) complete the setup "using a usb cord to temporarilly connect the computer and printer" 6) unplug usb cable and finish set up on the laptop/desktop. 7) give it a few minutes to show up on the AirPrint menu on the phone. 8) that should be it. I unplugged the printer and plugged it back in, made sure the laptop was totally turned off AND disconnected from the network, and did everything I could to try and make it not work. The printer I have is a Canon MG3122, it doesn't have a fancy screen or even a way to input a password or anything like that, so it just strores a default network that it will connect to. in order to change networks i would have to complete setup multiple times. Since I only plan to use it with AirPrint for my mobile business....the one network is just fine! Hope this helps!

Printing with brand new Epson WF-3620 printer

I am trying to print from Elements 12.1 with a new Epson WF-3620 printer. Using their Ultra premium photo paper glossey. When I try and print, unit says paper does not match selection in printer menu set-up and when I do try it prints black lines through photo. This happens even when printing with just plain paper. Printer is new, ran all maintenance and it prints perfectly from iPhoto (except I can't custom print from iPhoto which I need to do). Epson CS said printer set-up settings may need to be adjusted in Elements so I need to know if this is possible. Thanks.

so I assume your instructions are for setting things up in Elements since you mention Expert mode, which I use. I will try it when I get home, so thanks again. As for iPhoto, what I did was select the photo I had imported already cropped to the size I needed in Elements then hit print at the bottom. When the print screen opened, at the bottom right is the measurement settings for custom printing. I just changed those to the size of the photo I needed, then hit the Fill box at the top right, then hit the Custom box and it set up to print correctly. You just need to make sure you enter your image size numbers in the correct boxes at the bottom depending on horizontal or vertical printing. There also is a pull down menu at the upper right if you need to select a certain type of paper. The funny thing is I went out and bought some Epson matte paper and the printer worked perfectly. Prints look amazing and no lines. Makes me think it may have been the premium glossy paper I was using. Again, thanks for your help and I hope the info I gave about iPhoto wss what you were asking about.

I am unable to print any screen on Firefox. My printer works fine on all other requirements.

My printer does not respond to a print request when I attempt to print a downloaded screen on Firefox. It prints all other documents, emails etc with no problem.

Networking printer with HP Laserjet and Linksys wired print server

I have an older Laserjet 4 Plus that is networked via a Linksys 3-port wired print server.
My Windows-based PCs print to it fine but I can't print with my iMac. It gets there but gets an error at the printer and never prints.
I'm new to the Mac world as of 6/16 so am still learning.
Thanks for the help.

Paul, I am amazed you were ever able to print via the Linksys wireless server on your mac. I have the identical router and print server, and only the Windows PC's on my wireless network have been able to share the printer on that wireless server. I've been unable to find a driver for my iMac, and could never get the iMac to find the server. Finally gave up and bought an HP 2600n color laser and connected it directly to the iMac via USB. You're right about lack of help from Linksys. There is an Apple folder under "unsupported" on the print server installation CD, but there's nothing helpful in there.

How do I get my Macbook Pro to print with HP Officejet 7500a Wide Format printer

My Macbook Pro (Retina Display) seems to have a problem to print with the HP Officejet 7500a - Wide Format printer - Is it the OS X 10.10.2 causing the problem. It works when connected to the USB cable - but wireless print is a problem.

let's see-on printer control panel, you've pressed the right arrow, then "network" then "wireless" then "wireless setup wizard" then OK,
and the wireless capability has been turned on, yes? (I didn't know you could turn it off) -either press the wireless button, or press setup on the printer's control panel, then wireless menu, then touch "On". A blue light should be lit up.
Failing that, restart the wireless components-turn off router, then printer, then turn on router and then turn on printer. dunno what else to suggest
apparently, you can do a wireless test from the printer-right arrow, then network, then wireless, then wireless network test.. .
also see if there are any updates for your printer-there has been a firmware update for this printer from 2012-try that, there is also a software update for 10.10 apparently it adds direct wireless printing...

Printing with HP PSC1210 All in one printer

Hello all,
Anyone out there had any luck finding a driver for the HP PSC1210xi all in one printer with Snow Leopard? I had basic printing functionality under Leopard and would just like to have the same under Snow Leopard. As a workaround, I am able to still print and scan just fine using Windows XP running in VMWare Fusion, so, I am not dead in the water. However, I would like to just get basic printing capability restored in Snow Leopard.
Thanks all.

OK, so I have some bad news. FIrst, unfortunately the print drivers for the PSC1210 are not available yet. They will be available at some point in the future through an Apple Software Update. Second, since HP never posted a 10.5 driver package for your device, there is nothing for you to download to try to get things at least functioning.
That being said, you may have some luck with the Gutenprint drivers or others. There isn't a driver specifically for the PSC 1210, but the one for the PSC 1215 may work.
HP is aware of the problem, and I know I am trying to do everything in my power to solve it as soon as possible.
Just trying to help.

Fillable fileds are printing with garbage font, rest of form prints fine.

I've downloaded an application to be filled out and printed. When I print the application, I get some garbage in the fields that I filled out. The rest of the application looks fine. The whole thing looks great on the screen, I just can't print it.
Thank you

One re ing.
If I choose the "Adode PDF" printer. The document prints the garbled font, and the fillable fields print fine.....

I have an AirPrint printer and am signed up for the wifi 3G service but will not have wifi. Can an IPad be hooked to a printer with a cable, or can I print somehow without wifi?

I have a new air print-capable printer and am signed up to Verizon wifi+3G service but will not have wifi while traveling. Is there anyway to print from my iPad in this situation? Cannot the IPad be hooked up to a printer with a cable? If not, this seems to me to be a real shortcoming with an iPad!

iPads cannot be connected to a printer using a cable.
You need some form of Wi-Fi network to print. You do not need to have that Wi-Fi network connected to the internet. There are some devices that will create a Wi-Fi network and allow you to print. Google it to find someplace ossicle solutions.

Problems with borderless printing with iPhoto '08 and HP Photosmart Printer

I am trying to print borderless 4x6 photos on HP Photosmart C6250 (same as all HP C62xx Photosmart printers). I am using the HP 4x6 photo paper with the perforated tab. When I select the paper size, I specify Borderless 4x6 in/10 x15 cm (tab). According to the printer manual, the tab should be facing out. I have tried printing with tab out and the tab in. With tab in, it printed the picture leaving white space at the other end equal to length of tab. With tab out as printer specified, it left a white gap at beginning of photo (not as wide as tab) and printed the photo over the perforated tab.
Anyone else figured out how to print using the 4x6 paper with tabs. I also tried printing from the HP software included with the printer and it has issues, too. So, it might be an HP problem, or is it maybe a Mac printing issue with this printer.
Thanks for any help!

Barbara:
This is a shot in the dark but take a look at the following topic. It might just help. As they say, any port in a storm.
Topic : iphoto won't print properly to HP photosmart
It does seem like a bizarre solution however. Good luck.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Trouble with findig printer with Bonjour (HP all in one printer)

Hi,
I have a problem with connecting to my HP Printer.
When the printer and the iMac is booted freshly I can connect to the printer without any problems, also I can find the printer trought the printer browser via Bonjour.
But after a while the connection is completely lost with the printer, the only way I can connect to the printer is by IP, the dns name (http://HPxxxx.local.) is also not working anymore.
The only solution is turning off the printer and putting it on again, even sometimes I have to restart the iMac.
Is it possible a new installed wireless modem/router is cousing this odd behaviour ? Because it looked like the trouble whas coming after the new router was installed.
When I ping to the printer I can see there are some timeouts from time to time and when the timeouts take too long, the result is that I can't find the printer trough Bonjour anymore.
Thanks!

Hi cowla1,
I understand you need the drivers for the HP 6500A on a Mac. I can help you but will need some more information.
I have provided a link for the drivers up to 10.8. The 10.9 drivers show the documentation to run the Apple Updates for the driver install. HP Officejet 6500A e-All-in-One Printer - E710a Drivers.
Select your operating system, click next and click on the software to download and install.
Make sure when you add the printer, it shows the printer name and not the printer name + Airprint.
What operating system are you using? Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
Please provide in detail the results if you are still having issues.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

HT ALMOST A YEAR AGO . IT HAS ISIGHT SO I PRESSUME ITS A G5 PRO. I wouls like to change my existing printer with a good quality scanner an printer which would be an good match with my imac ?

Ihave imac 10.6.8 - i3 bought less than a year ago. It has isight so pressume its g5 procesor.
I would like quality scanner to add and think i may as well change my printer to scanner and printer combined. Canm anyone advise on bEST to go for. Thanks mqd

On the contrary, you have an intel processor, and it's not a G5 Pro, those are PPC and can't run Snow Leopard.
I have always had good luuck with Canon Multifunction machines, try one of those.

Trouble printing with Leopard and Samsung USB laser printer

I just purchased a Samsung SCX-4200 laser printer/scanner/copier. After installing 10.5-compatible drivers from the Samsung website, I'm unable to get the printer to work. Print+Fax recognizes the printer fine and the proper driver appears in the pulldown menu so all seems good there. But every time I go to print a document (I've tried numerous apps), the job begins spooling to about 6%-8% (depending on document tried) and then I get a message in the queue window that says 'Waiting for USB printer to respond.' and the job just hangs there. The job list shows the document as printing and the Print+Fax window shows the printer as in use, but no matter what I try, this thing just won't print. I've tried restarting the computer, rebooting the printer, an older version of the drivers that came with the printer (says OS 10.3-10.4 only) and myriad other tricks, but no dice.
Anyone have any advice? Thanks!

Well to follow up I finally heard back from Epson support...this was the response (note that it says nothing that I did not tell them already).
Thank you for taking the time to contact Epson. It is my pleasure to
respond to your inquiry. Color management is an art, make sure that only
the application or the driver is handling the management. Turn off the
management in the driver if you are allowing Photoshop or other software to
handle the color management. Also make sure when you are allowing
Photoshop to handle the color that you select the proper printer profile.
It's very hard to help with color management via email, you may want to
check some of the on-line color management websites on google.

Totally useless as I explained in detail that I had already done all of this and was very familiar with color management and the process of using it. And that it was not until the latest OS-X and Epson's driver that the problems started.
