Can Only Print "Lines" ...

PLEASE ... Someone help me!
I've spent the entire day only to get nowhere repeatedly so I thought I would try from the color management perspective. ANYWAYS I can't print anything on my mac from InDesign or Illustrator CS3 without a bunch of uniform lines appearing. I can print to the same inkjet from my PC using Corel and the photo and artwork is perfect. I bought a Mac and invested in CS3 to make things more productive in my business ... when in fact its costing me clients, time, and money and I'm over it ... I don't know what to do or where to go all I know from my searching is there appeares to be "KNOWN" problems but I need simple english to explain a solution.
If anyone can help me or point me in the right direction I will be very grateful!!!

Printing from InDesign, send Composite RGB, and under the Color Management in print dialog, Color Handling let InDesign choose colors, the printer profile needs to match the paper and printer. Preserve Numbers Off.
Under Advanced make sure Print as Bitmap is disabled
Lines in the printing really sounds like a device issue. Refer to the printer manual under troubleshooting, and also try to print some diagnostic images. I know you said you get successful prints from the PC, but it's worth it to check the device anyway.
Is this an Epson printer? There are issues with the Epsons. There must be at least 50 threads in all the forums that discuss major problems printing to the Epsons. I have an HP so I'm not sure what the problem is exactly. Wish I could be of more help...

  • I want to print an email which has multi pages but I can only print the first page

    Can anyone help please?

    Firefox cuts off the URL in your printout, if it's really long, and you also have on the same line (header or footer), the Date and Pages
    What I have summarized below is based on this page . . . http://www.watchingthenet.com/how-to-change-or-customize-firefox-printing-defaults.html
    I have two questions:
    To fix, do a custom setting, for the Header and Footer as follows:
    Print / Page Setup / Margins & Header/Footer / "Customize" the "Left" as follows (leave Center and Right all blank)
    &T
    &U . . . . . . . &D . . . . . . . &PT
    &D shows the Short date as: M/d/yyyy - and then the time
    To change the format of the Short date in Win 8.1, go to:
    Control Panel / Date and Time / Date and Time tab / Change date and time / Change calendar settings /
    Date / Short date . . . change from M/d/yyyy . . . to . . . MM/dd/yy
    QUESTIONS:
    1.) How do you get rid of the time, which appears after the date? In IE, you use a lowercase "d" - but that doesn't work here.
    2.) Is there a way to change the font just for the Header and Footer, to something like Microsoft Sans Serif 10?
    Firefox leaves no room around the text in the Header and Footer at the edge. To fix:
    Address Bar / about:config
    Enter keyword "edge"
    Then change all four values for the printer you're using to:
    print.printer_Foxit_PhantomPDF_Printer.print_edge_bottom . . . 5
    print.printer_Foxit_PhantomPDF_Printer.print_edge_left . . . 10
    print.printer_Foxit_PhantomPDF_Printer.print_edge_right . . . 10
    print.printer_Foxit_PhantomPDF_Printer.print_edge_top . . . 5

  • Since updating to 10.6.8 my Canon LBP3100B printer is only printing lines and no text??

    Hi there
    I hope someone is able to help me. I recently did a Software update to 10.6.8 and my Canon printer LBP3100B is now only printing lines & pictures (no text)
    I had a look on Canon's website and their newest driver is for 10.7 but i'm only on 10.6.8??
    Not sure what to do or if anyone else has had this problem.
    Why can't companies make their products more compatible with Macs? Sigh...

    I have exactly the same problem since last weeks's 10.6.8 update, but with a Canon ip4500 printer.
    Unfortunately,  the v3.31 CAPT driver mentioned above is not for 10.6.8 or my printer, but thanks for trying Pahu.
    The CAPT v3.31 driver does work on 10.6.8 but the driver is for certain laser models of Canon printers and All In Ones, such as the LBP3100B that the OP has. I never said it was for the inkjets so I'm not sure how you thought that I did.

    There doesn't seem to be any sign yet of Canon updating their 10.6.8 drivers, and the latest Apple update today didn't help either, although it apparently included a bug fix for other printer problems.
    The 10.6.7 and subsequent 10.6.8 updates did not introduce the 'no text printing' issue that the Canon laser devices experienced. If the iP4500 is not printing text then it may have simply run out of black ink. And note that this model has two black tanks. The PGI-5Bk which is for printing text and the CLI-8Bk which is used for photos. So run a nozzle test to see if all the colours are printing correctly.
    If both black tanks are working fine then try removing the printer from Print & Fax and adding it again. This can often help when printers stop working. Also, restarting the printer itself can often help resolve non printing issues.

  • How do I print just 1 web page in FF 29 ? With 29 you can only change the first field ( 1 of 5, 2 of 5, 3 of 5, etc. ) That means I can only print all 5 pages,

    So I cant seem to print just the 1st of 5 pages. The default setting , 1 of 5, will print all 5 pages. The 2nd field can not be altered, as it could in previous FF versions, to 1 of 1. Therefore, I can only print all 5 pages, 2 through 5, 3 through 5, etc. WTF - I keep wasting print paper. I got the print edit add-on but that doesn't seem to help. I have been through several FF versions and do not like the format of 29.

    Actually, with the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/print-edit/ Print Edit addon], if I click the down arrow I get the old print format options and can do it.

  • Can only print one item at a time

    Hey everyone,
    Bit of a Photoshop novice here, use it for DVD covers and labels. I have been using CS3 previously but upgraded to CS5.5 last year. The thing is on CS5.5 I can only print one page at a time even when I input say 20 copies to be printed, only one will print. That goes for the regular printer for printing covers and the disc printer.
    I can open CS3 up and right away it will print however many I ask it to.
    Is there something I am missing? Something so painfully obvious that it is staring me in the face but I am just not seeing it?
    Thanks in advance!

    It isn't a printer setting. I have 3 different printers connected to my system and all of them worked with CS3 fine. And when I delete the preferences folder for CS5.1 it works as it should but only once, then afterwards it only prints one copy, no matter how many I ask it to print!
    So if it works when the preferences have been removed, then fails to work afterwards, how can that be a printer setting?
    I have read elsewhere that others have had similar issues with CS5 and Windows 7.

  • How can I get my printer to print in color? I can only print black and white

    HP Officejet 6500 E710n-z-------windowsxp      My printer will not print anything in color.   How can Iget my printer to print in color?  I can only print in black and white.    It is a new Printer and we just installed it 2 wks ago.

    I am not sure I understand ''it still will not print. ''
    If you cannot see any content on pages you printed or in print preview, the cause might be margins which are set too high.
    #In order to check the margins, we need to go to ''File'' > ''Page Setup''.
    #Once this is done, switch to the ''Margins & Header/Footer'' tab.
    #Check what's set there under ''Margins''.
    The following are the default values for ''Margins'':
    '''Right''': 12.7
    '''Top''': 12.7
    '''Left''': 12.7
    '''Bottom''': 12.7
    Check these values accordingly and change them if necessary.

  • I am trying to print all the PDF pages in a range of 5 pages but can only print one page at a time . . . It will print the current page, but not all or pages 1-5.  Can this be overcome?

    I am trying to print all the PDF pages in a range of 5 pages but can only print one page at a time . . . It will print the current page only, but not all or pages 1-5.  I need to go to the next subsequent page and command to print current page; continuing with this procedure until all pages are printed one at a time. Can this be overcome?

    You can use printPages(1, 5), however I need to know how you print current page.

  • I can only print 1 copy at a time from indesign booklet on my xerox d95

    I can only print 1 copy at a time from indesign booklet on my xerox d95>

    I've never used Print Booklet or your printer, but some things are determined by the printer and printer software, rather than the program from which you are printing. You might want to see if Xerox's website has any info also.

    Thank you for reporting this issue. This is a known issue that we had fixed last week. In a few days, the updated version of the app will be available in the Windows store. At that time, your app should automatically get updated to the newest version, if
    you have not changed your default settings.
    If you still experience issues next week this time, please post back and perhaps share your workbook, so we can do a thorough investigation.
    Thank you.

  • Can only print from certain programs. Started suddenly.

    Everything was working just fine and then suddenly I can only print from InDesign and Word. And when I print from InDesign I can't change any settings in the "print" dialog box or the program freezes and crashes. When I try to print from firefox, photoshop, illustrator among others, it freezes and crashes. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the print driver and restarting my computer numerous times and the problem persists. (Unless I am not doing it properly) I go into my printer settings and remove the printer then go back in and reinstall it.
    Any thoughts or help is greatly appreciated as this is affecting my ability to do my job efficiently. Thanks so much.

  • I can only print the current page of downloaded pdf's.  Not able to print "all".  I'm using a Macbook air.

    I can only print the current page of downloaded pdf's.  Not able to print "all".  I'm using a Macbook air.

    it says "the document could not be printed".  "There were no ages selected to print".
    I selected "all".  I always tried selecting pages "1-3".
    The only choice that works is current page.  Very strange.

  • I can only print 1 page can somebody help

    I can only print 1 page can somebody help
    sl

    I have the same problem with my HP C6380 MY8CJ880F6. For me it is +80% of what I am printing I only get 1 page and has to print the rest 1 by 1. The problem is 6 month old and I have tried almost everything except the right solution ;-}
    Setup Windows 7, 64 bit (Danish). Wireless communication.
    I have tried reinstalling, use HP diagnostics and a lot of other things. Diagnostics says everything is fine. Microsoft Fix It diagnostics says the same about the Windows 7 printer support functions.
    My other printer a HP Designjet 111 runs perfect. When I am out of office I use other printers no problems. But the HP C6380 will in most applications especially Acrobat Reader only print 1 page at a time.
    I have tried to change the printer into factory settings that sometimes do the trick for the Microsoft Office 10 products installed but not for Acrobat. Most of my documents are PDF so either i get the fixed or I will have to invest in another printer.
    Any body with a solution ?
    BR Erik

  • Can only print current page of a downloaded pdf via adobe reader
