CLJ 4550 printed pages are VERY faint/washed out, except top 1/2inch of page nice and dark

My CLJ 4550 printer does say the transfer kit is very low (4%) so I assume that's the problem, but I just want to be sure that a spent transfer belt would have the symptom of very faded prints with a nice dark top 1/2 - 3/4 inch (before I spend the money on the transfer kit, I'd like to be sure it is likely to fix the problem.) Currently the pages are so faded you can't read a single word, just see faint shapes of yellow and other colors (I was printing the configuration page.)
I'm assuming the 4600 is much superior to this machine, just based on all the churning and clunkng this one does while working, my 4600 doesn't do even half as much.
Thanks for your thoughts.

Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

My HP 3054 printer/scanner worked very well for my needs, but today I tried to scan something and I get this message:(com.apple.ImageCaptureCore error -9922.) What does this mean and what can I do to get my scanner to work again?

i have this too on my hp photosmart b210
no one seems to know how to fix it!!

I just replaced the ink in my printer. Now it prints some lines dark and other are very faint.

how do I fix my print problems on my Hp F4400 printer?

Hi @57srv,
I would be happy to help you with your F4400 series printer. I understand that since changing your cartridge the print quality has been poor. Please use the following document to troubleshoot the issue, and call us if the issue persists; HP Officejet 4400 (K410), Deskjet Ink Advantage (K209), and Deskjet F4400 and F4500 All-in-One Print....
Don't hesitate to call, although the printer may be out of warranty, the cartridges could be in warranty; therefore, there wouldn't likely be a fee for the phone support. We will, at our option, either replace products under warranty that prove to be defective or refund the purchase price.
We could even determine after troubleshooting that it is a problem with the printer, in which case they may offer you a discount on a newer model.
The number to call is 1-800-474-6836 for Canada and US, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
To find the “Warranty Ends” date, look in the following table for the date's location on each product. The date follows the YYYY/MM/DD or YYYY/MM format, where YYYY indicates the year, MM indicates the month, and DD indicates the day.
Please use the thumbs up below if you happy with my efforts to help. Best of luck!

Printing/Preview does not honour to printer page margins and garbles text

I have this weird problem with printing. When I print, e.g., a pdf using preview, the page comes out of the printer incorrectly, that is the top 2.2cm gets chopped off and some of the characters have become unreadable (especially the I, the :, and the J). When I print the same pdf from adobe reader, the page comes out fine...
The problem of chopping-off the top bit of a page also happens when I print directly from an application (e.g., thunderbird, firefox). Saving the print as PDF and printing that one with adobe reader again works fine.
The problems occurs only when I print on my Lexmark Optra E312L (using the generic Postscript printer). On our HP Photo Printer (B9180), everything works as expected.
I have already restarted the printing system, but while this did solve another printing problem, I still have this problem.
So my question is: anyone else experiencing similar problems (ie., top of print chopped-off and garbled text) and, better yet, is there a solution?
Thanks,
Hayo

Steve, thank you for trying to answer my question/solve my problem!
You suggestions, however do not fully help in my case though
I was already using the full printing dialogue, but nowhere did I find anything that might solve this problem. The print scaling, I did not want to use as I want the page to come out as-is (the pdf was an A4 and I print to A4). Note: border less printing or other ways of selecting a larger printable area doesn't work either; when I select the Lexmark, I have a very limited number of page size options and while it shows them, I can't use a custom page size (otherwise that could have solved the problem I guess).
I did expect some things to get chopped-off but then evenly from all sides (ie, where it can't print). This is not what happens when printing from preview though. Today I tried again and while the results are the same, I now understand better what Preview does: it chops off only the top bit (what it does left and right, I don't know yet). In my opinion this is an error on the part of Preview because that way you never get the page exactly as it was intended. Adobe Reader does this much better, so that is what I will be using from now on.
The other problem, the garbled text (mostly i's, j's, and :'s) is still there as well. So I guess there must be a problem in the printing engine of Preview in combination with the generic postscript driver...
Heck, it gets even more interesting: I also tested printing from Firefox directly. This results in an error flashing on the printer, the printout got out of the printer ok-ish though. When saving the output as PDF and printing that with Adobe Reader again, the printer does not generate an error AND (more importantly), the output is much better quality wise (the rendering of the fonts and greys is much better).
Right, I guess the lesson I learned here is not to use Preview/print directly when I want to print to the Lexmark and to take the route PDF->Adobe Reader->Lexmark instead.
Is there a way I can let Apple know about bugs? (the garbled text certainly is a bug, the other things may or may not).
Thanks again,
Hayo

Safari printing page orientation and scale defaults changed

Until recently, Safari defaulted to portrait and 100% scaling when printing. I had occasion to print a particular page LANDSCAPE and 70% scale which was successful. Now that has become the new default and I am unable to change it. This affects Safari only.
Searching for help, I've seen this problem referenced in older versions and it was suggested to either change the values in com.apple.print.PrintingPrefs or to delete it altogether. I looked for the equivalent values in my file but couldn't find anything similar to what had been suggested. I then backed up the file and deleted it. No joy. The file is restored but problem persists.
My Safari version is Version 4.0.5 (5531.22.7). I just recently upgraded to that but don't know if that is relevant to my problem.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Jack

You're welcome.
. I don't have a com.nameofyourprinter.plist file (should I? I'm using a Canon MP530),
Actually it depends on how long it's been since you last connected the printer to your Mac. Anytime you print from your Mac a new prefererence file (.plist) is created in your home folder/Library/Preferences.
Where I said...nameofyourprinter at the time I didn't know the manufacture of your printer. If you aren't sure how to locate .plist files, check out my short video.

3g phone ringer all the way up but very faint, all sounds are very faint or none at all. Even the click when turning off is bearly audible. Is there a fix for this?

My phone volume has almost disappeared. Screen clicks, ringer all of it is bearly audible, sometimes not at all. Everything is on, ringer volume turned all the way up. Is there a fix for this on the iphone 3G?

I am simply lookig for some help not an argument. I am not an RF specialist however have setup a few wireless networks in my tenure at Wynn Resorts. I fully agree that wireless networking is an art and a science however the powers that be in Network Land have toughted wireless networking is the easiest and quickest way to get two computers to talk with one another. As I previously said I have already turned one (1) MBP in for this problem and Apple decided to replace it because they could not fix the problem with my particular MBP. This MBP was running Leopard when the problems started
I am having a hard time believeing that there are several other devicces in my home that depend on a wireless network to operate and my MBP is the only one having an issue. I took this a step further and decided to see what would happen if I tried to connect wirelessly via Fusion. In Windows 7 I am able to print and scan to my hearts content without any issues. I am able to browse the internet as much as I want. I close Fusion and try to connect to my printer via wireless and nothing.
In order to get Apple to help do I need to get a Network Analyzer and capture packets when I have these problems? Out of the 1000 + posts is there a consolidation of which answer is the best? BTW I am accessing the internet via a wireless connection using Fusion and Windows 7.
In response to Linc's comments, I will look at the router specifications however I did not qualify that these devices are not using the wireless connection at the same time. Right now I would guess there are maybe two (2) or three (3) at the most that are actively transmitting / receiving information. -- Thanks

Printing page name and other information

I'm new to mac and having a bit of a time trying to understand how many print interfaces there are. Loving things so far but I need to take a minute to figure some things out.
1. Is there a way to set my HP Printer to always print the name of the file at the bottom or otherwise set these kinds of options as pre-settings so I can pull down to them when I want various configs/
2. Is there a way to get the pdf printer in Preview to default to printing to all pages? I seem to frequently print one page and I have to go through a bunch of clickthrough operations to get all the pages to print to one pdf.
Thanks,
Jon

This is usually a feature of the application you are printing from and appears in the applications PDE, usually the default panel shown when the the Print Dialog is brought up.
2. Is there a way to get the pdf printer in Preview to default to printing to all pages? I seem to frequently print one page and I have to go through a bunch of clickthrough operations to get all the pages to print to one pdf.
What printer are you using? And are you using the PDF menu at the bottom left of the print dialog?

Add "print page" icon and command

I post articles on my webpage and would like for my visitors to print them. Is there a way, other then they just clicking on their own print command, to add a "print article" button within my site. This would maybe open up another page to allow better printing formatting. I am just using iWeb 08 and the Modern Frame template.

A Google search showed these pages. You can test a few and add the code using iWeb 2:

In pages, when I make a table, the lines print very faintly. Any ideas?

Hello: when I make a table in Pages, the table will not print well; the grid lines are very faint.
I get the same result in Numbers.
Any ideas?

Hello.
You can choose the size of your border in Pages or Numbers.
To do that, you have to select your table.
After that, click on inspector.
You must have the cell borders option, set here the border width.
That's all !

How do I reset my HP photosmart all-in-one B210a to print page 1 first?

My printer is apparently all set up, but I want to change the print sequence from reverse order to starting at page 1. I have the latest HP software installed, but there is no where I can see of changing the sequence. I have been in to System Preferences/Printers and whilst it brings up my printer I can not carry out any changes to its' default sequence of operation.
Is there a screen that I can get open that will allow me to set orientation and to print in normal order? I can do it an application, but that is a pain because If I want to print something off the Internet and there are more pages than two, it will print page 2 first. The knock on effect is that sometimes I want to print double sided and the only way to do this sensibly is to do each page individually then re-feed the page and do the next page. This afternoon, I did that, printed page 1, then printed pages 2 and 3, and ended up with page 3 on the back of page 1 because it printed in reverse order!
Thanks

Eric Root
Thanks for that. Yes I did see that in my chasing around, but it would be nice to have it the other way round as a default. I understand why it is done that way, but I rarely, these days, have large documents to print and the right way round would be useful! Particularly when occasionally, as I say above, I want to double side print which the HP doesn't do as a norm! C'est la vie!!
Cheers
