HP Photosmart C5580 has missing text on printed page

My printer stopped printing a couple of months ago, we kept getting a message about the print spooler. Finally I removed the printer from my computer and then reinstalled the newest driver from the website. The printer started working again..Now when I print a pdf document most of the text on the page is missing and yet it prints boxes and lines the text was in. Anyone have a suggestion?

Ask the kobo people or delete and redownload the books.

PDF has missing text when created from FM 9

My Software:
Windows XP Professional Version 2002 SP 3
FrameMaker 9.0p255
Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Version 9.4.1
When generating a PDF document from FrameMaker, the PDF document has random missing text, including whole paragraphs, sentences and some text in tables. We have several FrameMaker books and they are all having the same issues. These books were fine when we last published updates within the last month and we have not made any changes to fonts.
When generating a PDF from FrameMaker, we always print the book to a postscript file first following these steps:
- Go to File > Print Book.
- Select the Adobe PDF printer.
- Select the Print to File option and specify a .ps filename.
- Select the Generate Acrobat Data option.
- Use Acrobat Distiller to convert the PS file to PDF.
Note that I also tried File > Save As PDF and got the same results.

Did you reboot after the hotfix? fwiw, other users on the forum have had difficulty with the hotfix not being installed correctly the first time around.
once you download the hotfix from MS you have to run the .exe, and then when it’s finished you have to reboot. Then check the Add or Remove programs in Control panel, and click the “show updates” button, then scroll way down to see the hotfixes, to be sure that #952909 is shown.
What fonts are you using in your documents? Specific type (PS, TT, OTF) and any other info you have (foundry, etc).
Do the "gaps" seem to occur when there are font changes in the document, e.g. when words in a sentence are bold or when a paragraph in a different weight (e.g. bold italic) follows, say, a "regular" text weight paragraph? As another test, can you highlight a segment of good+bad+good text in the PDF, do Control+c to copy it to the clipboard, then Control+v to paste it into a different file (Word, text editor, even another new FM document). Do the words of the "missing" text segments show up?
edit: the hotfix download process is a bit confusing; if I remember correctly it has to be requested, then MS sends a link to the download webpage, then the downloaded .exe has to be run.

Pages 5.2 Table missing text when printed

I created a document with several tables. These tables contain algebra formulas with superscript. I read in another forum that the issue may be the use of the superscript. However their problem only occurred when printing the document as a PDF. I am having the problem printing from both Pages and as a PDF. Some superscript appears as it should. Not all missing text is superscript.
Any ideas? I hate to have to recreate this document in Word. I took me forever to create.
Mavericks 10.9.3
Pages 5.2

Known limitation with Pages v5.2. If you had Pages ’09 installed before the upgrade downgrade to Pages v5.2, it was moved to /Applications/iWork ’09.
You will need to export from Pages v5.2 as Pages ’09 in order to process your work in the older Pages version. You will also need to open the Pages ’09 document either through that Applications file chooser, or via the right-click, contextual menu Open with > Pages (4.3). Double-clicking with both Pages installed will default to using Pages v5.2.
LibreOffice is a free alternative to MS Word, and works better with Mavericks than does OpenOffice.

Windows XP - Missing text when printing to Xerox Docucolor

Currently printing Illustrator CS3 from a Windows XP to a CREO driver running a Xerox Ducucolor 240.
Sent a document and discovered some of the text was missing. It was a label set up 2-up on the page and the missing text occurred in the upper label, but was not missing on the lower label.
I went back to see if I had not duplicated all of the label and discovered that the document was complete.
Without changing the document, I sent it again. This time it printed correctly.
What could make the document lose some of the content?

Something likely happened during the transmission of the job to the printer. It could be a fluke but if it happens again, you should check all your connections, condition of your wires and cables, and your power protection.
Could also have been a blip with Illy and/or whatever other apps you had running at the same time; a slight conflict somewhere occurring at the exact wrong nanosecond.
ETA:
In other cases (though not in this one), it could be a font issue. Corrupt font, duplicate font on your system or with the printer. It could also be an issue with the Illy file itself; not exactly a bad idea to copy everything and place it in a new file.

Is it possible to make an iphoto book that has all text on a page? I want to have some pages with mostly text.

Is it possible to make an iphoto book that has mostly text on some of the pages? I would like to make a book that has more text than photos on some pages.

Of course (at least in some themes - travel for sure) - have you looked at the available layouts?

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

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!!

Missing Text in Print Output

When I print a PDF as hardcopy, individual letters are disappearing from the printed document, but are still present in the online view. The letters that vanish are often the same letter, such as all the G's and g's. Not in all cases, though.
I am using Reader X on WIn 7. PDF was generated from Word 2010 using "Save as". Can anyone help?

Did you use "Save As" or "Save As Adobe PDF" ?
Try the below steps:-
1. Create the PDF using PDF Maker plugin in word application and then print the PDF.
2. If you are using a postscript printer then in Print dialog click on Advanced and under "font and resource policy" set the dropdown value to "send for each page". Then try to print the document.
3. As a workaround you can use "print as image" option in the same advanced print setup dialog box.

Missing text in RoboHelp 7 when previewing/generating Frame files

This is a new issue for me. Until last week, it seemed to work fine. Now, though, whenever I import by reference my frame files I have noticed that, while they look fine in the Design view, when I click Preview it has missing text in parts. In one file, which was all text (no graphics), it was completely in Preview. Then, when I generated the help, that topic was still blank.
This doesn't always happen, though. Sometimes a topic is fine up to a point, then, all the text is gone, leaving only the screenshots. It generates that way also. On the other hand, some files come out fine, with no missing text. (This is only apparent in the Preview and generated help.)
I'm using TCS 1, that has RoboHelp 7, and I generate to WebHelp. I've applied an update that makes it 7.01.001. I've also applied the "missing space" fix that Peter Grainge suggested (it worked ).
Like I said, TCS worked fine up to last week, then I started seeing these missing chunks of text. I tried creating a new RH project and starting all over, importing only one small file that had all text and no screenshots/graphics. Both the preview and generated help came out blank, although I could see it plainly in the Design view before generating.
Has anyone else had this issue, or know what it might be?

Below is from one topic that didn't show any content at all for Preview or generated output, (taken from RH). That is, it showed nothing when I opened it in IE9, but in Firefox it displayed just fine. I tried replacing <head> with the one above (in the output), but it didn't seem to do anything. I'll keep trying, though!

When I click Buy Book this appears our book appears to have default text that has not been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue? will the text I have sellected still be ok or will the book have missing text help Pleas?

I just spent 3 days creating a book [32 pages], with photos and text but when I click Buy Book In iPhoto this appears>
Our book appears to have default text that has not been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue?
My question is will the text I have sellected to use still be ok, am I safe to continue and buy or will the book have missing text ?
The book is for special birtday in 2 weeks time Please Help.G
<Email Edited by Host>

Yes, you're safe to continue. That means that there are text boxes that you did not put any text into and they contain the holding text which will not be printed. That text is shown in a light grayt and is in Latin. Normally you can just put a space in the text box to replace the holding text so as not to get that warning message.
Before ordering the book proof the book according to this Apple document: iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture. Check the pdf file for any missing text or photos and any warning indicators in the text boxes indicating that some of the text has exceeded the space allotted in the text box.
Keep the pdf file to compare with the printed copy when you reciive it.

Photosmart C5580: PDF File type option has disappeared from Scan Shortcut Settings under Documents

For 6 years I have used PDF as the file type for scanning documents. Yesterday it switched to TIFF. This creates files of ~8.5 MB per scanned page.
The PDF option does no longer show in the dropdown menu. Remaining options are:
Bitmap, TIFF, TIFF Compressed, JPEG, GIF, PNG, PCX and FlashPix.
How do I get PDF back on the list.
I run Vista Home Premium

Hi @vliegendeboer ,
I see that you are having issues with the PDF option missing from the scanning software. I would like to help.
In the HP Solution Center Software, select the option to change settings, select Save to File Save Options, on the File Type, try and select PDF and press OK. I don't have the exact Version 12 software you are using to go by, but the steps should be similiar.
If you are still not able to select PDF ,download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it.Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
If there was any updates recently done on the computer, you can restore your computer back to before everything was working properly. How To Use System Restore in Windows Vista.
If you are still having issues, the software might have become corrupted. Uninstall and reinstall the printer software.

I was using OS Snow Leopard and on 8/1/13 I downloaded Mountain Lion and found out it was not compatible with my HP printer (HP photosmart C5580) so I called Apple and asked how to get Mountain Lion off and Snow Leopard back on. The Tech told me to

I was using OS Snow Leopard and on 8/1/13 I downloaded Mountain Lion. Then I found out it was not compatible with my HP Printer (HP Photosmart C5580 all-in-one) so I called Apple support and the tech told me to erase the hard drive instead of going in the time machine. Well I did that and then it took about three hours three days a week for about three weeks on the phone with an apple tech to get all my stuff back on my computer. I have had trouble with my printer (won't do the scan anymore and wasn't printing on my DVDs. Also the computer keeps freezing up when it is in the sleep mode, etc.
When I tried to list my problem on this forum it lists your OS at the bottom and mine had Mountain Lion listed as what I was using so apparently it didn't erase it. Want to know how to get Mountain Lion off and put my Snow Leopard on so things start working right.

Go to the  menu/About This Mac - what OS version shows there?
Do a backup, preferably 2 separate ones on 2 separate drives.
Revert to a Previous OS X
Revert to Snow Leopard
If you do revert, I'd use Setup Assistant to restore your data. This process takes a while, so do it when you won't need the computer for several hours, based on my experience.

HP Photosmart C5580 prints with 10.6.1 but will not scan!

Hello all. Well, I'm stumped on this one. I had been using my HP Photosmart C5580 with Snow Leopard 10.6.1, generally, successfully via Bluetooth but the Bluetooth signal was too inconsistent so here's what I did. I had an Apple Airport Express I wasn't using for audio anymore. I plugged it into an outlet. My network saw it right away and I got the green signal. I plugged a USB cable into the Photosmart printer. I then deleted my old Bluetooth-based printer profile for the C5580 in Print & Fax. Then, with the Airport Express all set to go, I created a new profile for the printer in Printer & Fax under system preferences and selected Bonjour with the C5580 printer. Great! I began printing successfully and obviously faster than Bluetooth ever allowed. So, even though the C5580 is not a Wi-Fi enabled printer, I could get printing working through my network.
However, when I went to try to scan from my Mac Pro to the Photosmart printer/scanner, I failed completely. I downloaded and installed the latest HP drivers from Apple "HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers2.2.dmg" which are meant to work with my 10.6.1 OS. I also downloaded the HP Software Applications for this printer. None of them "sees" the C5580 scanner portion of this All-In-One device. I then discovered the HP Scan app and HP Utility do not work with 10.6.1 yet. I used the "HP Setup Assistant" but it does not see the scanner portion of the C5580 either.
I then discovered, online, that only Apple's programs: 1) Image Capture, 2) Preview, and 3) System Preference Print & Fax will allow one to scan. BTW the drivers I installed from Apple for HP are 4.0.2. On one Apple support site it clearly states that this driver (or drivers) work for both printing and scanning (and with 10.6.2). Image Capture does not see the scanner. Preview does not see the scanner. While in Preview, I scroll under "File", select "Import from Scanner" and select the only option "Include Networked Devices". Then I do the same thing again and "Include Networked Devices is greyed out.
A call to HP didn't get me any answers. They wanted me to open a ticket at a cost of $35 and said my printer was out of warranty. In fact, I have several weeks left, I later discovered. Drat!
Is there a special driver from Apple or HP to enable the scanner to work the way I want it to work? Is the Airport Express a problem? Why can I print to this device - have a physical and networked solution - yet not have the scanner work? Do I have to select "Scan" at the physical printer/scanner itself before I can print from my Mac Pro?
This is maddening. I don't see any way to install any scanner profile in Print & Fax as I did with the printer profile.
I welcome any and all advice.
Thanks,
PWRMAC

Thanks for the response pengtao. This is a big disappointment. If the printer driver from Apple can support the printer end of things with the setup I have, one would think the scanning could/should/would work too. Connecting the printer/scanner directly to my Mac Pro is really not an option and running the length of ethernet I'd need doesn't really do it either. I don't know if this makes a difference but my router/access point is an Airport Extreme (not the Airport Express that is attached to the printer/scanner). That is, the Airport Express is only used with a USB cable that connects to the C5580. The solution seems so near and yet so far away. Thanks, though, for your two suggestions!

I figured out that I could not use the scanner with the USB on the Time Capsule so I connected the printer via the ethernet port on the Time Capsule to make it a networking printer. This allowed me to see the printer and scanner, but I still can not get the scanner to work. I have all the software updates for Mac and HP. When I go to scan the software says "Trying to Open session with device" and after 30 seconds it will say "Failed to open session with device". I know the software works because if I connect the printer directly into my compute with USB everything is good. Also, if I go into the Embedded Web Server (while printer is connected to Time Capsule with Ethernet) of the printer I can perform a Preview and I will see the scan of the item in the scanner, but I still can not scan. Any ideas? I have to talked to both HP and Apple without any ideas.
Thanks

Hi I have an HP printer. I use an APP called print central from APP Store. Used this for the last 2 years on 2 IPhones & 3 iPads with no problems. Cheers Brian
