Duplex print proble using CS5 with HP 5200 printer

(sorry for the double post guys, since it's a problem that occur under BOTH indesign and adobe pdf pro i've posted in these 2 forums)
hi everyone. i have a serious problem ! probably the worst bug i ever had in my design labs at my university :
we have a HP 5200 DTN shared over our network using a 10.6.3 server using CUPS 1.4.3 for print drivers. we print double-sided pages a lot (duplex mode).
we print using a 10.6.4 macpro with CS5 : adobe PDF pro and Indesign. when printing a multiple page document and using the duplexing option (layout option under the print setup) the pages are cropped, part of the images and text (any kind of elements) are cropped. it's like there's a BIG margin on the right side, nothing is printed all the elements are cropped...
the stangest thing is : if i don't use the duplex mode (layout option under the print setup) these cropped pages prints perfectly. the moment i start using the duplex option every pages is cropped even when they are not printed in duplex.
the problem occur with any indesign documents, PDF docs, 2 pages at a time, bigger documents. And most important : only on the HP 5200 DTN printer. we have a xerox laser color 7750gx and the problem does not occur at all.
any ideas?
thanx for any tips & help !

This looks as though its a driver problem as the Xerox prints OK.
The driver version on the HP site is from early 2009 so it may be due for an update. Check that you have downloaded all the current driver updates available from the Apple site.
The slightly out of date server software may also have a bearing on the problem. Try releasing the HP printer from the server and set it up directly on the Mac you are using and see if that solves the problem.

Can i print from my ipad with an wireless printer and an apple app or do i have to have an airprinter?

Can I print from my ipad with an wireless printer and an apple app or do I have to have an air printer?

It depends on the printer and if it is shared on your home network.
I have a wireless HP printer, but it is not an E Printer and cannot print directly from my mobile device. I purchased an Epson all in one E Printer so that I could print from my tablet. THe printer cost me less than $90 at Walmart.

HT204135 Photoshop CS5 Printing Problem on iMac with Epson 3880 printer

All of a sudden I can't print from Photoshop CS5 on my iMac with OSX Mountain Lion installed. I am able to print from Illustrator, however. Have tried to update the Epson 3880 driver. After clicking on "Print", it doesn't register with the computer, and from then on, the "Print" option is greyed out.

Are you using moab icc profiles or are you using one of the epson profiles?
I always use the moab profiles which you can download from their Web site. This way you are matching the specific epson printer with the specific moab paper.
At that point you change the printer manages color to Lightroom manages color and select the specific profile. Very easy to do - they even have instructions on the Moab site for installing the profiles if you haven't done that.
Once installed you can also use them through the system print dialogs in PS but it is really much much easier to use in LR - Since coming on board with LR last summer, I have switched to doing ALL printing from LR. Since you mentioned that you are having the same problem with LR and PS, I'm betting you are using epson profiles and this will solve your problem.
Hope so

Using iphoto with HP photo printer

I recently purchased a macbook pro laptop with the HP-C4180 printer. I hooked up the USB cable from the laptop to the printer and tried to print a couple of pictures that I loaded onto the laptop. The printed pictures aren't close to the colors that appear on the screen. I then tried using the HP software that came with the printer and the same thing occurs. I've checked the ink cartridges but they are installed correctly. If I'm doing something wrong let me know...otherwise the printer stinks and I will be returning it to Apple online.

To get prints that match your monitor image it is necessary to have a calibrated computer screen and printer profiles (colorsync) specifically for the printer-ink-paper combination you are using. HP printer software usually comes with profiles that provide a close match for HP inks and HP paper. Any other inks or paper are bound to give disappointing results.
Printer profiles for ANY paper can be generated with the proper photometric devices, which are generally much more expensive than the printer itself. Monitor calibrators are becoming fairly inexpensive. But one isn't much good without the other.
Best results for printing with iPhoto are obtained by first embedding the HP profile (that matches your paper) into the photograph by using Preview. The HELP menus will guide you through the process.

Using Lightroom with HP B9180 printer and WIN Vista

Does anyone have experience using Lightroom with the HP 9180 pigment printer and Windows Vista? I'm considering moving from a dye printer to a pigment printer but have noted in discussion groups there seem to be some difficulties of getting good prints out of Lightroom with various printers.

Using Vista with B9180 via Ethernet, works great! If you upgrade the B9180 firmware, do it via USB.

Printing problem using LR3 with Snow Leopard (IMAC i5) on Epson 3800:

My 5x7 crops are not being printed as selected and as shown on the print previews. The printed images cover the entire sheet but are somewhat cut-off as if LR3 had slghtly enlarged the file before sending it to the printer. After going through the print settings with me, Epson Support has assured me that their print drivers do not enlarge the files that they receive from LR. I am experiencing the same issue with both borderless and non-borderless prints. I am keen to send pictures to my friends and relations of my new grandson but have been working with this problem for a few days now. Can someone please help me?

My name is Syd and I work for Epson America, Inc.
When printing borderless, the image will have to be slightly larger to achieve borderless prints. The Epson printer driver has two options for borderless printing - Borderless Auto Expand and Borderless Retain Size. Each paper size will have both options available.
Borderless Auto Expand means the printer driver will expand the image automatically. There is a setting for how much the driver will expand. At the print window of the Epson printer driver, there is a setting called Expansion. Here you will see three settings; Min, Mid and Max.
Borderless Retain Size mean you are enlarging the image yourself, controlling what you want to cut off. The measurement of expansion is 1/8 inch to all sides, thus adding a 1/4 inch to width and height of the image.
Here to help,
Syd

How to print multiple ALV Grids with only one print dialog?

Hi,
I have a report that has multiple ALV grids in splitter containers. The users want to be able to print those ALVs by pushing only one print button. I got it to work (parameter IS_PRINT and method SET_FRONTEND_PRINT before calling SET_TABLE_FOR_FIRST_DISPLAY) but I can't find a way to avoid that the printer dialog pops up for every grid I print.
I tried to use the function module approach with REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY but have the same issue. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Guenther

Hi Peluka,
Well, that's exactly what I am doing. Putting one central button in the app is not the problem; the issue is that the print dialog (to select the printer) pops up for every individual ALV grid. E.g. if I place 4 ALV grids on my screen and trigger their print from a central button, I am getting 4 print dialogs.
Cheers,
Guenther

Canon D1100 multipurpose printer cann't communicate with compters to print... WHY?

Canon D1100 multipurpose printer cann't comm unicate with compters to print... WHY?

Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations. In addition, the AirPort's USB port does not support the "advanced" printer functions, like scanning, copying or faxing, of multi-function printers.
To see if your printer is compatible, take a look at thisiFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility link. If your printer isn't listed, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try.
Also you can try this Apple Tech Support article to see if it will help: Printer troubleshooting for AirPort Base Stations and Time Capsule
Finally, check out this IBM support article to see if your printer is listed as having a Postscript or PCL3 interface. If it does, then it will most likely work with the AirPort's USB port. Printers that use the "HP LIDIL" interface must be connected to a computer directly and will not work.

Can I print wirelessly using my iPhone to a printer that I have connected to a time capsule?

I have a printer connected via USB port on the time capsule, and I have the printer shared throughout the network. The printer is not an ePrint model. Since the printer is in my network, can I use my iphone or ipad to print documents?

If you have a Mac running on the network, try Printopia.
There is a free trial, so you will know if will work before you buy. There are other apps that can do this as well, but I cannot offer a specific recommendation.

How to use AppleScript with AccountEdge for printing?

Hi all,
Can AppleScript be used to print an AccountEdge invoice to a folder, quit this invoice, then increment the number of invoice to be opened by +1 and repeat the procedure with this invoice too? I am new to AppleScript and not familiar with its limitations.
The version I'm using is AccountEdge Plus NE 2010. I also found this link to sample scriptswww.accountedge.com/updates/ but cannot unfortunately access it as I'm outside the US.
I would be very grateful for your help. Thank you very much!

When you run a script like that from Applescript the environment it runs in is not the same as when you run the command from the terminal. Specifically where the file is being written is not where you think.
Try giving a full path to the output file say -0 ~/quotes11272013.txt to force the file into your home folder.

I have a Dell Inspiron 530S computer and a Dell Photo 926 printer. Using Firefox with the printer, how do I scan a blank form into the computer and fill it out there and then print out the completed form with the printer?

Basically, the problem arose when I got a package from the Veterans Administration requiring me to fill out some complicated forms. Using my equipment and Firfox, I have been unable to do it.
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== I applied for Agent Orange evaluation

That's not really a Firefox support issue.
Check with Dell support and ask if the scanner software is capable of saving the form as an actual form, instead of as an image as most scanners do.

How can I use iphoto with my epson printer to make my own cards?

How can I use photos on macbook air and my own printer to make cards? I used to be able to -- but some software now only leads me to BUYING cards, or makes it seemingly impossible to manipulate the image so that I can see it on the size paper I will be using. This used to be do-able! How now? Thanks.

When you redeem the gift card through iTunes on the computer, it goes onto your account which will allow you to purchase any item via your computer or your iPod becuase it is on your account

Support for using CS5 with Joomla

So far, the information to get dreamweaver working with Joomla has been non-existent and/or extremely vague. I've spent my entire Sunday, trying to simply get this to work.
I ran a local server and followed the adobe tutorial, I uploaded my mysql database file and I either get an error saying that the dynamic-related files could not be reached etc etc etc. error, or I get simply a blank page when I try to view it in the localhost/FOLDER file.
I am lost. There is little support for this specific task. It's my only interest in DW considering I work exclusively with Content Management Systems. So far setting this up is time consuming, confusing, and well, it simply doesn't work.w
IS THERE understandable documentation available for setting up the most TALKED ABOUT feature of DWCS5!?!?!? Is it really even possible? At this point I am starting even doubt the validity of the posts of people claiming they got this to work. So far I get a string of unpredictable errors in an extremely complicated and confusing workflow, again, just trying to get the most talked about feature of CS5 to work as advertised. I'm so frustrated, words cannot express.
-Matt

Hello out there? Can anybody be so kind an post a link to a good dokumentation? I am experiancing just the same problem and yes - I am frustrated, too. Pleeeese!!!
Thank you very much for any little hint.
