Gradient boundary appears printed, but not on PDF?

Hey guys! Hope you can help me out with this.
I'm exporting a PDF from InDesign. The PDF looks fine, but when I print it it appears as if a gradient border has a stroke applied. In InDesign I've confirmed that the stroke is 0, but I'm still getting a light black line when printed. Also, it appears to only print from our high quality color printer -- when I print it from an old black/white one there is no line. Can anyone think of why this might be?
Thanks!
Ben

I can also confirm the problem here on my Adobe PostScript 3 printer using Acrobat 7, 8, and 9. The problem goes away if I turn on the "Print as Image" option in Acrobat's Advanced Print dialog. If your black and white printer is not a PostScript device, this is effectively doing the same thing. (Note that I'm not suggesting "Print as Image" as a good solution since it can change the color output, can take along time to print, and if you are sending the file to someone else for production, it might be difficult to guarantee that they will do the same.
The line occurs at the bottom edge of a raster image which was created by the Adobe Transparency Flattener to simulate your gradient in a (flattened) PDF 1.3. I'd suggest either trying PDF 1.4 or higher. If that's not acceptable for whatever reason, I'd suggest making sure that the gradient fill goes all the way to the bottom of the page AND making the gradient fade to something other than white (e.g., 0C, 0.5 M, 1.0Y, 0K). Hopefully, that will cause the raster image created by the flattener to extend all the way to the bottom of the page, and put the nasty line off the page...

Random Vectors/images color inverted in print, but not in PDF. Where does the fault lie?

Sent a PDF to the newspaper printer and some of the images had inverted/strange colors. However...
In one case I had duplicate images of a pink vector flower. SOME of the flowers were inverted, to a dark blue/black, and some were fine(pink). These were embedded vectors.
In other instances vectors, went from orange to blue/black, pink to blue/black, and yellow/white to blue black. I specify because in one vector image, a ring, the ring was yellow, but the diamond was white, and it all changed to the same blue/black in print.
Finally, there were two greyscale Tiff photographs of a pair of ladies. These are not embedded, and have not been altered at all and since the last time this paper has been printed, (which printed fine). This time, they were inverted. Nothing else on the page was inverted.
As far as I can tell, there is not a separation issue, and I have saved the file from InDesign CC to pdf using the same settings as dozens of times before. The pdf on my end looks fine. The printer says they just print what they receive, but as far as I can tell, there is no issue on our end. The fact that some duplicated images printed fine, and others did not seem to confirm this. Everything is properly linked. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is this a pdf, InDesign, or even an adobe problem at all, or it is something on their end? I have heard of inverted colors before, but can't find a solution (especially as I can't even see the problem on my end.)
Using Windows 8, up-to-date InDesign CC, and Acrobat Pro, Illustrator CS6 ver.16.2.0 64bit
I have no idea what the printer uses.

Where does the fault lie? - in an environment where they (the newsprinter) collect up front, have no responsibility for quality and arrogantly believe, perhaps correctly, that you'll be back with another paying job in the future.
Check the file you sent via Acrobat Preflight or Output Preview for RGB elements.
Check the file you sent via Acrobat Preflight - Checks - For Transparency Used
Do any of these elements off color involve rgb or interact (with or near) any transparency?
(InDesign could show these attributes via the links panel or a Live Preflight. Both can be (probably should be in your case) changed via the PDF Export)

Hp Officejet Pro 8500 will print but not anything with black ink. It keeps aligning itself.

My Hp Officejet Pro 8500 will print but not anything with black ink - i have checked the black ink cartridge and it is full. Whenever i print anything in colour (only option) the printer goes into an alignment/maintenace loop that lasts for a long time and does not fix the problem. What should I do?

Clean your printerhesd 4-5 times until the black fully restores. I am on my third complete cleaning and have gone from 0% black to approx. 60-70%. So, it works just takes time.

In Photoshop Elements 12 I can print but not scan..error message "Cannot find Wia compliant device". It can find the device or else it wouldn't print. How do I get it to scan??

I have tried everything to get the program to see my printer. By reinstalling divice drivers for printer to reinstalling program several times. Still I can print from my printer but not scan. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
Thanks for the update.
If you can scan with the HP software then at least we know the system can see the scanner.
Can you try the organizer to see if that works any differently. Once you load the organizer, go to the Edit menu and select Preferences -> Scanner - see if that sees it.
Since you are on Elements 12, you still have the twain option available to try. See the following document which describes moving the twain driver.

I can print from my PC to my wireless printer but not from my ipad. What should I do?

I can print from my PC to my wireless printer but not from my ipad3. How do I cure this problem?

If it's not an Airprint enabled printer, you need apps like:

After updating to WIndows 10, I can print but not scan with my HP 2210 all in one

I updated to Windows 10, and since then I'm able to print but not scan with my HP 2210 All-in-one printer. I've tried downloading the software updates but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions

Hi , and I see you are both having trouble scanning after upgrading to Windows 10, and I may be able to help. Most products do have updated software available on HP's support website for Windows 10. I've also seen a few posts that say the Windows 8.1 driver will work for Windows 10 as well, so you could try that too. HP provides a free tool called HP Print and Scan Doctor to diagnose and resolve printing and scanning problems. I recommend downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor, if it doesn't fix it automatically let me know what errors or messages you receive. Do you know if you are able to scan using Paint? To Scan from Paint: HP Multifunction Printers - How to Scan: Windows 8
(It's the same for Windows 10, from what I've been told)Right-click the Start button () in the lower left corner of the screen, click Search, and then type Paint.Click Paint in the results.Click File, and then click From scanner or camera.Select your printer, click OK, and then click Scan. Please let me know if any of these steps resolved your issue, or if there is anything else I can do to help. I look forward to hearing from you! Thanks,

You might be able to redownload them on your computer's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage, or by going into Edit > Preferences (iTunes > Preferences on a Mac) and on the Store tab ticking the 'show iTunes in the cloud purchases' tickbox, the music that you can redownload will then show in the My Music part of your library with a cloud icon against them for redownloading.
If your iPod isn't being recognised by your computer's iTunes :

PDF forms that can be printed but not saved - possible?

Does anyone know if it is possible to do the following:
- First of you create PDFs that you would put on to a web site.
- The user would then fill in fields on this PDF form when they access it.
- This would create a completed form which the user could then print but they would be unable to save it.
Is this possible?
Someone mentioned Adobe LiveCycle Designer to me. Can this be used to achieve all this? Or what software would be needed or would you recommend to do this?
Thanks.

Interactive PDF–buttons working in preview but not in PDF

I have a series of buttons that reveal hidden graphics. One of those hidden graphics is a background layer, in a separate layer, that should appear when a button is clicked. It is showing up, but in front of all other content, even though the layer is in the background. I have nothing else on the background layer. Also, the preview in InDesign shows this working properly, it's the exported Interactive PDF that is having problems. Any suggstions?

Show/hide buttons can let you show and hide graphics which have been themselves turned into buttons. But in InDesign, they cannot control the visibility of layers. I think that's because of the way buttons are handled in the PDF file. I think the buttons themselves are seen as a separate layer above the "content" of the PDF.
You can change layer visiblity with buttons but not in InDesign. You have to do it in Acrobat.
Create your layers in InDesign. Export as a PDF but in the Export Adobe PDF dialog box, you must select Acrobat 6 compatibility and check Create Acrobat Layers. This takes InDesign layers and makes them PDF layers which you can work with in Acrobat.
You can either create the buttons in InDesign or in Acrobat, but controlling layer visibility isn't an available action in InDesign. So you'll need to change their action WITHIN ACROBAT.
In Acrobat, you can choose View > Navigation Panels > Layers. You can turn the eyes on and off to control visibility like in InDesign. Then set the layer visibility the way you want the first button to set and set the action for the first button to be Set Layer Visibility. When you click Add. It sets the visibility to the current state. Repeat the process for the second button.
In InDesign CS5, to export buttons you'll need to choose File > Export > Adobe PDF (Interactive). Check Acrobat Layers.

Print Job Stopped on Xerox 7750 IP Printing but not AppleTalk

We have a bunch of Xerox 7750s setup via IPP. When we upgraded to 10.5.2 all print jobs sent to them appear in the cue as Stopped. When I re-setup some of the print cues via AppleTalk most of them work, but not all. I've tried the firewall suggestions mentioned here
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6765428#6765428
with no success. Sharing printers is out of the question. I'm not a fan of AppleTalk, but if it's the only way I guess I could give it a try.
Any suggestions on how to get my IPP to work?

Hello Henry,
all Airport Stations are recognised. I just connected the printer to the station in the living room, listen to music from ITunes right now, printer is recognised connected to this Airport Station, but the print job still stops.
It is frustrating, and a hassle to connect the printer via USB each time you need to print......BUT....nothing compared to the hassle I had with "other" operation system LOL!
Thank you for your reply

C310A WILL NOT FEED PAPER. PRINTER CLICKS. If IT PUSH PAPER IN BY HAND, IT WILL PRINT, BUT NOT AUT

HP PHOTOSMART 310A printer will not feed paper. It is about 6 months old, with minimal use at home. It has always done a lot of clicking, but now when it would normally feed the paper, it clicks for several seconds, and the top piece of paper does not feed, it then clicks again, like it is trying feed paper, then to back the paper out, and then stops. The printer then posts a no paper in tray error. When I reload it does the same thing again. Does the printer not have a optical paper in tray sensor? It should be able to see the paper is in the tray fairly easily, not sure why it uses the feed roller to sense paper?
It does not seem to work, regardless of the number of sheets used. 1, 10, 25, or mostly full of paper.
The clicking sounds more like gears slipping, rather than the normal clicking it makes all the time. (with about 30 or 40 clicks in a few seconds, all at a fairly regular rate.)
it only clicks after the little arm extends down and touches the top of the paper stack. There is a metal arm, with two white wheels that is dropped from above the paper onto the tray, and it appears to be that arm that is clicking. It looks like it is trying to push the first (top) sheet of paper into the printer. The top sheet does not move. If I push the paper, it will take the paper and run just fine for that one sheet.
I opened the back, and there is an area with a couple of larger wheels that look like they feed the paper up from the tray into the printer. In that area there was a cardboard piece with CN503-00012 printed on the side. It appeared to be loose in the cover, and not sure what that is for? if it should be there? or if it is related, I removed the cardboard piece. Not sure what to do with that. I do not think it is nessisarily related, since if I can feed the paper by pushing it, it takes it and prints.
Help explain what is going on.
John

I do not recognize the cardboard peice you describe - I just opened up my c310a and did not see anything like this. It may have been part of the packing material....
At any rate, I would suggest following the troubleshooting steps in this page.

Black ink not printing but not empty

My HP ENVY 5530 all in one printer is not printing black. I have checked the in level and it is 2/3rd's full. When I print a page, the color comes out but not the black. I have cleaned the printhead multiple times and when it prints the test page, all the colors come out but no black. The printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet. I am very frustrated since this is a relatively new printer with both original ink cartridges.

Hello, Since you have tried performing the Clean Printhead multiple times and the issue still exists, it seems to be an issue with the printing module/ printhead. You might try with a new Black Cartridge and check if the issue could be resolved.Else, its time to get the printer replaced / serviced. Please call HP Tech Support for further assistance.
