HP LaserJet 5500dtn print quality issues: vertical and horizontal streaks

Hi,
I am getting large vertical yellow streaks, accompanied by cyan and magenta vertical dashes on each print. Also, each page has vertical and horizontal black streaks. I've cleaned the fuser and that hasn't made much of a difference. I've also tried cleaning some of the cartridges, which didn't help. The internal roller of each cartridge continues to get covered with excess toner. Furthermore, I get a weird offset of some of the text (a faded version of the text that is offset about 1.5" from the regular text). Is there anyway to fix this issue by cleaning certain parts? Any other suggestions? Thanks

Hi,
Yes it is in Warranty. It is virtually brand new.
After I last posted I got through to the online chat support and was sent an email with options to 'troubleshoot' which I had already done with no success.
I was also given a link to try to update the printer firmware - which I will try when I get home from work.
I will see if that makes any difference but am sceptical as the printer worked fine the first time round but hasn't worked since and nothing has changed on it.
Chris.

HP Laserjet 5200tn Print Quality Issue

Hi I am looking for some help with my HP LaserJet 5200tn. The problems all started back when I was getting a printer error 51.2 turned the printer off and on for a while to clear the error. Like the Tech manual says. This went on for a week showing back up after about 100 pages or so. At this point I replaced the Laser/Scanner assembly. The error hasn’t shown up since it’s been replaced. Instead a new Issue showed up. I am getting Light document prints (See attached Images Below). So I then replaced the DC controller seeing how that is next on the list in the tech manual. To no avail the issue of the light documents is still there, and yes I have tried every setting in the options to try and darken up the document.
*Image above is from the same toner cart but in a diffrent 5200tn
*Like stated before same toner cartrige and the same paper as the print above just diffrent printer.

The HP Laserjet 5200 Series are commercial printers. I recommend posting in the forum for HP Business Support for a better chance at finding a solution.
Here is the link to the Commercial Laserjet board:

Print quality issues

Hello
We are having print quality issue when printing PDF's to our Canon iR C2880/C3380 UFR II. This was the most recent print driver from canons website which was download about 6 weeks ago. version 2.9. At one time we were having other pring quality issues and we changed from the post script driver to the ufr ii which solved the problem at the time.
This past saturday we upgrade the operating systems on the systems in question and they are now running windows 7 64 bit with service pack 1 installed. image 1 is the orignal pdf that was printed with a 3rd party pdf printer(PDF Xchange view version 2.5) image 2 is the same document that was printed using acrobat reader 10.1.2
the options for the print were pretty much identical between the program. Print as image was not selected. 1 thing to note with the acrobat when print as image was selected there was a slight improvement in the print quality.
Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Hi, nd a warm welcome to the forums!
Off the bat, it looks like maybe bad RAM/ROM in the Printer, or corrupt Font.
Can you have another Computer jook to it and print for a test?
Can you try Printing from Adobe Reader...

Can you in Preview, Save As a picture format for a test?

Hp Color Laser Jet 5550dn Print Quality Issues

Good Afternoon,
I have a Hp Color Laser Jet 5550dn that has some print quality issue. I've attached a black and white scan, but the color is a light blue to blue that form the blotches. On the back of the page there are blue and pink streaks.
I can print more sample pages or print them in color, but anyone have any idea what could be going on here?

We are encountering a similar problem. The streaking is coming fromt the Cyan cartridge and has continued for over a year now, despite numerous cartridge changes and replacing the transfrer case. It is progressively getting worse and I have yet to find a solution to this problem online. Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

HP Photosmart 5520 print quality issues - Not printing black

Hi,
I bought a HP 5520 printer. I used it once and printed less than 10 photos and it was great the quality was superb.
I went to use it for the second time and the print quality was terrible. There is no problem with the printer responding to comannds it tries to print just it is awful quality.
I used the trouble shooting guide that HP have posted on line. I went through every step multiple times - I am using the correct paper, Genuine HP cartridges.
I got to the step where you run the Print Quality Diagnostic Report and there is NO Black present, Yellow is faint and the other colours have horizontal streaks.
I ran multiple print head cleans and no change.
I bought brand new HP print cartridges and still no change also ran multiple print head cleans and Print Quality Diagnostic Reports but still the same.
I tried to phone HP technical support but as I am at work just now and not with the printer they would not put me through to a technician
They told me to try and get an online Chat with a technician - well a few attempts and hours later still no response from them
Has anybody got any help on this issues please?
Chris

Word document pdf printing with vertical and horizontal pages

I have a Word document that has both vertical and horizontal formatted pages. When I print to PDF, the I get a new pdf file whenever a page orientation change is found. pages 1 to 7 are vertical, 8 to 12 are horizontal and 13 to 20 are vertical again. If I print to a file named "out_to_PDF" I get 3 files named "out_to_PDF", "out_to_PDF2" and "out_to_PDF3", the first one with pages 1 to 7, the second one with pages 8 to 12 and the third one with the remaining pages. Is there a way to get only one file with all the pages?
I know I can merge the files later. This file with 20 pages is no problem. I have several 70+ page docs, with multiple changes between horizontal and vertical that will result in 20 or more separate pdf files.
Any pointers?

Word renders print jobs that change the orientation as separate print jobs. So, each print job becomes its own PDF.
You can make an Automator workflow to combine PDFs. I’m not sure how it decides the order it combines them, so you’d have to experiment.
This is built as an Application where you’d drop all of the PDFs onto the App icon and it will open the combined PDF where you can edit, name, and save.

Quick Look PDF with vertical and horizontal pages

Is there any way to make Quick Look preview a PDF file with vertical and horizontal pages without adding white padding and retaining the aspect ratio?
Now, if I have a PDF with page 1 vertical and the other pages horizontal QL shows the latter also with the ratio of a vertical page and adds white padding at their top and bottom. You get the inverse output if the first page is horizontally oriented, but the rest are vertical.

Why are some of my pages centering themselves (vertically and horizontally) after I select the "Shrink document to avoid overwriting..." option under Add Headers and Footers?

I'm working in Adobe Acrobat X Pro. I added header and footers through Adobe. I needed to select the "Shrink document to avoid overwriting the document's text and graphics" feature under the "Appearance Options..." option within the "Add Header and Footer" window. Some of the pages in my document that only had a few lines of text on them centered themselves (vertically and horizontally). How can I prevent that from happening?

Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information. Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information. Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!

Center text in text field - vertically and horizontally

Hi to all,
I have a text field with a specific size (for example 10x10 cm) I need this size because all the fields in the report must have this minimum size and they just can grow vertically (expand).
But i need to put the text centered in the field, vertically and horizontally. just in the middle whatever the size of the box.
The parameter "Center" in justify text doesn't help. Only adjust horizontally.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
If you want to center vertically, you have to use an anchor .

Center all vertically and horizontally?

I'm trying to self-publish a book using CreatSpace on Amazon. They want an extra 1/8" around all margins of a 6x9" book (actually more on the width) to allow for bleed. I have to generate a PDF. When I changed the page size it kept the type in the same spot, and made the pages jump back and forth a little in the PDF. It would be good if they stayed in the same place. How can I center ALL the artwork -- including the headers on the master page -- both vertically and horizontally to fill a particular page size? Thanks for any advice.

There may be a bit of miscommunication going on. You should be designing with the final trimmed page size in mind, and if you have images or solids that need to bleed, they need to extend beyond the trim size. When output to PDF, you specify whether to include crops and bleeds, and the size of the crop marks and bleed area. For example, if you want something like this crappy example I just knocked off:
You would set up your page size at 6x9 and place the images like this:
…and when output to PDF with the marks of your choice:
…you get something like this:
…which results in a PDF whose size is 6.83x9.83, but when trimmed will be 6x9. If you measure from the crop marks, the size is 6x9, and if you measure from the bleed marks, the size is 6.25x9.25, which is the trim size with 1/8" bleeds on all sides. Ask the publisher what marks they would like. They may not want bleed guides or color bars, so just give them what they want.

Center vertically and horizontally with a single layout?

verticalLayout has the horizontalAlign property, and horizontalLayout has the verticalAlign property. How can you use a particular layout to determine the flow of the children, but also specify vertical and horizontal alignment? In Flex 3 this was as simple as <VBox verticalAlign="middle" horizontalAlign="center">...

Take a look at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/448063
If you don't want to use extra containers then you could use Spacer components.
For example to align vertically in the center:
<s:VGroup width="200" height="200" horizontalAlign="center>
<mx:Spacer height="100%" />
<s:Button label="center aligned" />
<mx:Spacer height="100%" />
</s:VGroup>
Or at the bottom:
<s:VGroup width="200" height="200" horizontalAlign="center>
<mx:Spacer height="100%" />
<s:Button label="center aligned" />
</s:VGroup>

Iphone 5 rotates between vertical and horizontal modes, but does not flip vertically.

New Iphone 5 rotates between vertical and horizontal modes, but does not flip vertically.
Tried restarting, checked the lock, gyroscope.

Hey Oprion,
Thanks for the question and congrats on your new iPhone 5c. The orientation of your iPhone will depend on the application you are using. For example, most of the built in applications only support the three main orientations (Horizontal, Vertical, Horizontal), whereas the Voice Memo’s application will operate “upside down” for easier access to the microphone.

Print quality with Aperture and Epson RX580

Hi all,
I feel like I've tried everything, but I just can't get Aperture (the latest version with all the updates) to print from my MacBook Pro on my Epson photo printer the way I could from other photo software on my old PCs. On my old PCs, when I would print a photo from Canon DPP or Capture One, or even the Windows photo management software, I get a rich menu of dialogue boxes for the Epson printer offering different qualities of prints, different papers to choose from, "photo enhancement," and lots of other options. Prints came out sharp, colorful, and just great.
When I print from Aperture, I get none of these options (I get color management and resolution, and that's about it).
When I print from Aperture, I get vertical lines in the prints, visible dots, and pixellation. So what I do is email the "exported" versions to my daughter's PC laptop and print from there -- and get good results. Boy, that's a pain.
Surely Aperture can do better than this. So what am I missing? Any ideas for what I should be doing?
Thank you.

Canon MP990 and Macbook pro (os X snow lep.. and Lion) - Lines in prints in Aperture.
While a bit vague I got there and found the distinction between the printer driver managing it and the printer managing the photo quality causing the issues.
I could only transfer the pic's to iphoto and print for ( admitedly about the same time of more than a year).
The FIX
in the first window after selecting print scroll down to rendering and select printer managed.
Select all the other settings you need then select print on the right bottom of this window.
This next dialogue box at the bottom is a show details button then a new set of menus are present (initial is layout in a pull down menu) select color matching then automatic ( you can change this but it worked so if it is not broken I'll play later ).
You should have clear prints with no lines...

Color Laserjet 2600n print quality is terrible! Help!

I have had my 2600n for about two years now and I've never been able to get it to print like it should, the demo page is beautiful every time, but anything from my computer looks terrible, there are certain things I can tweak and they'll print pretty well but I'm constantly running into problems. I would blame it on the toner or the printer but like I said, the demo page looks amazing every time, so it has to be a computer thing. Has anyone else had a similar problem? I'm getting so frustrated and I feel like the only fix is spending $300-400 on a new printer which I'd hate to do because this printer should be fine! I have a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.9, I used to have a Windows 7 PC and I'm pretty sure it had the same problems.
If anyone has any ideas for me I will be forever grateful!

The Colour LaserJet 2600n printer is a host-based device, which means that:
It doesn't understand any of the traditional Page Description Languages (PCL5, PCL6, PostScript).
All of the major work of rendering is done on the host workstation.
What is sent to the printer is (a series of) encapsulated, compressed, raster images; the printer just unencapsulates and uncompresses these, and prints the resultant pixels.
Perhaps what is happening is that the Mac (which, as far as I'm aware) usually natively generates PostScript jobs, and these must be converted (by whatever the Mac equivalent of a printer driver is) to the required (proprietary) host-based format - such conversions sometimes introduce unwanted issues.
Having said that, if you also experienced the same problems with a Windows 7 workstation, then something else may be responsible for the poor quality.

HP Officejet Pro L7590 - print quality issue

We've had a lot of problems with this unit since day one. It simply wouldn't work with our XP computers. Thankfully it does work with our new Windows 7 computer.
The problem I'm having is that I have to clean the printheads at least once, if not twice, before every print job if it hasn't printed anything recently (even an hour or two).
Although we've had the printer for a while, it has hardly been used because it wouldn't work with our previous computers (and I gave up trading emails with HP support because the situation just got worse each time we tried something, not better). The myPrintMileage function says we've printed just over 300 pages (and I can pretty much guarantee that at least 250 of those have been diagnostic pages trying to get it working, not actual print jobs).
The only advice I can find on the troubleshooting page is to replace the printhead/s. Is that really the case? We have already had to replace ink cartridges before we ever got the printer working. If we now have to replace one or both printheads this machine is proving very costly to run. I would be very disappointed to find we had had to replace all four ink cartridges and both printheads before we ever got the machine working properly.
I'd appreciate any feedback you can offer on this please.
