CS3 v CS2 quality of print to non-PS printer

I went over to CS3 about 18 months ago and use print so little I've never resolved this issue.
I have a greyscale image that prints perfectly to an old HP laserjet 6L printer from CS2, just using the embedded document profile and no fiddling with anything.
From the same laptop (running Vista) to the same printer on CS3, the print looks like a draft (despite there not being a setting anywhere I can find). The print dialog scale to media area (which isn't checked) says it's going to print at 600dpi. I think I've tried changing everything I can in the CS3 dialog settings but nothing has made a difference.
I have checked that all the printer driver settings are the same in both cases. The driver print quality is set to 600dpi.
Any suggestions gratefully received! If I can resolve this, I'll be able to uninstall CS2 at last.

A file which has the problem is at:
http://www.wlv.ac.uk/PDF/uow-direct-app-home.pdf
It has substituted the "Adobe Serif MM" font -
Is this a problem with Acrobat on Leopard? That PDF's without Embedded fonts do not deprecate properly to showing/printing the Substitute fonts?

Print to non postscript printer

can i print from adobe illustrator cs 6 to a non postscript printer?

Thanks gentlemen!
I just move to Singapore from the US. In the US I have always had Postscript enabled printers either in the printer or via driver.
The big brands [Epson, HP, Canon] don't sell the same printers models here and finding a Postscript enabled printer is like finding a needle in a digital haystack.
Also the people that work for those companies locally, don't even seem to know the capabilties of their own devices.
They only know what they can read off the box.

Hello Pedhed36,
I've included a link below with ePrint info. (eMail addy, etc.) Good Luck!
To find your HP ePrint email address:
Go to ePrintCenter and log into your account, you will see your email address in the ePrint panel.
Look for the ePrint icon:
For Photosmart: On the printer's front panel display, touch Wireless>Web Services>Display Email, or if available on your device, touch the ePrint icon on the printer front panel.
For Officejet: On the printer's front panel display, touch the ePrint icon (4.3” display only) to display the email address or Setup>Web Services Setup>Printer Email Address to reprint the information sheet.
Photosmart Only: If you register your printer at ePrintCenter.com, your email address displays on the ePrint panel.
For LaserJet: On the printer's front panel display, touch the ePrint icon or “How to Connect” to display the email address. For LaserJet printers with the small 2 line display, please print out the information sheet to see the email address.

Printing with non-postscript printer

Can anyone tell me how to get my graphic images to print
clean without pixels on my Canon Pixma pro 9000 printer from
Freehand MX?

If it's a postscript issue, you can try exporting as a PDF
first and then
print that.
Otherwise, perhaps your images are just low resolution?

Can you print from an iPad to non wireless printer connected to timecapsule

I just purchase an iPad. Can I print to non wireless printer connected to timecapsule? If yes, what app do I need for the iPad?

You might want to take a look at Print Central or Printopia.
PrintCentral for iPad on the iTunes App Store
Printopia - AirPrint to Any Printer - Print from iPad - Print from iPhone ...
I can verify that Printopia works just fine for me on my iPad, but haven't tried Print Central.

Every single box is outlined after conversion from CS3 to CS2!!!! Plz HELP!!!

Hi there guys,
I'm quite new to the forum, but I have come through an issue that is weird to me...
See: One of my clients I'm a freelance designer– is an ad agency whose only graphic designer is on marriage vacation.
This guy converted some files from Indesign CS3 to CS2 so I can go on whit the projects while he is out happily just married in Thailand...
The problem is, however, whit every single box, doesn't matter if they are text or image boxes or even empty boxes. Neither if they already had outline or not. They all have somehow come up whit a black outline. And I'm starting to lose my nerves on fixing that...
Moreover, there are some text boxes –footnotes and the like– that contain a web address or an e-mail direction. This "www.xxxxxxxxx.com" and the "[email protected]" stuff is outlined within the text box with the same black line that will disappear only if I type back the thing...
Is this maybe a known issue? Has anyone ever heard or experienced that?
Any workarounds or known fixes or whatever?
Thanks a lot for taking the trouble to read and answer!!!

The outlines around hyperlinks are just visual indicators for you so you'll know they are there (not all hyperlinks show up as URLs) and won't print. You should be able to turn them off in the hyperlinks palette if you want to. If you just re-type the hyperlink text it will no longer be a real hyperlink, if that'st required.
As far as the strokes on everything, I'm not sure. Is it possible there's an object style applied to all of these items and the stroke is now defined in the style. (Does CS2 support object styles? I've forgotten and don't have it on this machine to check). It could also be some sort of translation glitch in the move from CS3 to CS2.

Can't print to a non Postscript printer on Mac

How do you get inDesign to print to a non postscript printer (HP laserjet 1200). Running CS3 on Mac 10.4.11
iD will not let me sellect the printer but defaults to Postscript file.

A quick way around printing to any non-PostScript printer is to export or distill a PDF and print that.
I've used this trick for years to print "colour proofs" on various different inkjet printers.

Photoshop CS3 (nor CS2) won't launch since CS3 install

Since installing Adobe Creative Suite 3 Production Premium I can no longer open Photoshop. It repeatedly crashes on the launch window. For the sceptical, my CS3 Production Premium collection was all legitimately authorised and registered.
Of the other CS3 apps that installed (can't install Encore, Premiere or Soundbooth on PowerPC) they all open and run perfectly fine.
I uninstalled all CS3 and re-installed CS2. Now Photoshop CS2 won't open either (but everything else is still fine). Exactly the same problem, Photoshop crashes during the launch window.
What has CS3 changed to my system that prevents Photoshop opening and can I correct the issue? From searches on this subject Someone suggested repairing permissions before and after installing CS3. This had no effect.
Thank you for any help.
//-- edit- the crash seems to happen when 'Building TWAIN menu items' --//

You can try trashing and regenerating Photoshop preferences when you launch.
Hold down command/option/shift while launching Photoshop. You will be asked if you want to get rid of Photoshop settings. Choose yes.
See if this works; you may have to reset some of your Photoshop preferences afterward. I'm not sure why you can't install the other applications.
Also, it may have something to do with activation; did you activate your copy of CS3? You should be able to have CS3 and CS2 both running as far as activation is concerned, but are they on the same drive? This might be a problem if one version is trying to read the other's settings during launch.

Print quality poor on bitmap logos when printing from InDesign

We have a studio of MACs. One of them prints this indesign document fine, the quality of the bitmap images looks like it does on screen.
On all the other MACs printing to the same Printer the bitmap logos on the same document print out with really poor quality.
Any ideas ?? This is driving me mad as have checked the printer settings and it appears they match the working MAC.
Dont think its a driver thing as all other documents and anything other than bitmap logos print fine.

They have said the following regarding the file type ...... They are saved as tif files but in photoshop they are converted to Bitmap under the Image>Mode>Bitmap option

Printopia is another option but be aware that since these solutions effectively act as a print server and AirPrint receiver, they require a computer to be running on the same WiFi network.
Canon also has a couple of apps in the App Store that might facilitate this on non-AirPrint printers. Check out...
Canon Easy-PhotoPrint
Canon Mobile Printing

Why can't I print from Illustrator a non-faded print. It always prints as if I wanted a proof or something.

YOu have not provided any system info, version info or details about your printer. This is not going anywhere beyond stating the obvious - your system is not color managed.

How can I print from ipad to non wireless printer?

How can I print from ipad to non wireless printer.
....been trying to save document to pc to print.... but cant find a way to do so.....?

Actually you can print to a non wireless printer if you have apps on the iPad and your computer that will do this and as long as you can set up a WiFi network or the iPad and the computer are already on the same network.
I Am running an old OSX version on my iMac at work (Tiger OSX 10.4.11) and I have an app on my iPad called Save2 pdf. I downloaded a helper app on the Mac called WePrint. I do not have WiFi at work, but I create a WiFi network using the Ethernet connection to the Mac that my iPad can also join. As long as I can send the file/text/document to the Save2pdf app, I can print it on my old HP LaserWriter1012 which is not a wireless printer. This uses the Mac as the print server and the WePrint app on the Mac sends the doecument to the printer.
It's not a very elegant solution, and it is a little convoluted, but it does work.
