Image issue when printing

I use Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. In my job I am responsible for training materials. I often convert pptx or docx into pdfs and never had a problem with images but now I do. PDFs show as being successful and everything looks good on the screen but once I print some images look really bad (pixel). Others don't.
When I pdf a pptx in slides view or handout view everything looks good when I print it. When I pdf the same document in notes page view it looks horrible.
I called the vendor who created the training material and they confirmed having heard of such a problem before but they are not having the issue with the particular material now.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Corinna

Image glitch when printing to Panther Pro RIP

I'm having random issues when printing separations to a PantherPro 46 imagesetter from Indesign CS4 (processes through the PantherPro RIP on an OS9 computer ... super old, I know). An image will randomly shift in the box. (see example of what was imaged to film).
This is what I have collected: It happens only on images within a pdf. Happens on either 4-color separations or Composite Gray. When we find the glitch, we cannot replicate the issue when printing a second time to the same imagesetter.
The printer manufacturer only suggested that we print a postscript file to the imagesetter instead of the native file. Thoughts/suggestions?

I have a user that has an issue when printing to PDF.

I have a user that has an issue when printing to PDF. When printing to PDF the PC will intermittently freeze and sometimes the print spooler will crash taking all other printers offline. A reboot clears it up for a while but then it comes back.
Acrobat 11 Pro
Windows 7 x64
Office 2010 Professional
Any help would be great! Thanks

I manage a network of 30,000 + workstations all with Acrobat Pro 10. Upon upgrading to 10.1.10, they all exhibited similar symptoms printing to the PDF printer. The problem is most obvious in IE 11, it will cause the browser to stop responding, however it seems to depend on the page being viewed. For example we can print google.com, but not yahoo.com.
And of course there is no method to roll back to 10.1.9, other than to completely remove and re-install Acrobat.
I hope this is getting addressed soon!

Issues with image centering when printing from CS5

I contacted EPSON tech support about this issue, they are putting the blame on the application used - in my case Photoshop CS5 printing with an EPSON R2880.
I am trying to figure out exact print tray margins to take into account when printing horizontal 13x19 images on EPSON's Hot Press 13x19 paper on the R2880 (via manual roll single feeder).
These are not borderless full frame images, 13x19 image files set on white with exact white frames around the image, so the shift in centering becomes quite obvious on the print.
Here are the two print settings I have tried, both do not center the image correctly:
Selected Scale to Fit Media & Center Image Top:0 Left 0.105
Selected Center Image: Top: -10,152 Left -0.118
(margin values are entered in the print window automatically)

u are probably not getting much help on this unless you post screenshot of your process (starting with File> Print window)
remember, Photoshop can print a document correct regardless of how it looks on the monitor (and vice versa: Photoshop can display a document correct regardless of how it prints)
i recommend getting a known target like the WhackedRGB.jpg and see where the problem is occuring (in Photoshop color management settings, on the monitor, on the printer or both)...

Color issues when printing AI files on PostScript

First off, please forgive me if this is not the right forum or if I am not using the right terms. I am the network admin for our company and I'm posting this on behalf of our designer.
We recently added PostScript drivers to our Sharp printers, and we have been seeing odd printing results when printing embedded .AI files.
We use CreativeSuite CS5, and our developer has hundreds of images with pure white and transparent backgrounds stored in .AI format. When these images are embedded/linked to an Indesign document they print with a solid black background and what appears to be an inverted color pattern, almost like a photo negative.
All embedded EPS files print fine. The affected .AI files print fine when printed directly from Illustrator.
The embedded images print fine using a PCL driver. We are trying to implement the Postscript driver for better color quality.
Any ideas?
(We are using Windows XP SP3, x86
Server based network printing on Windows 2003 x86)
Thanks in advance
Matt

You'll get better and faster responses if you post in the Adobe Illustrator forum. This is an application-specific question rather than a color management issue.

Issue when printing to fax

Hi,
Recently I encountered an issue when I try to print a report with 2 or more pages to the Microsoft Shared Fax Driver.
If there's only one page I can view the fax's image atachment, but if there are more pages, then the image file seems corrupted and cannot be openned.
This problem occurs when printing directly to fax from the designer.
I've tried printing from a XPS file to fax and everything works fine.
I'm currently with CR 2008 SP2 and .NET 3.5 SP1.
Is this a known Crystal Reports 2008 issue?
Thanks

Please re-post if this is still an issue or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly:

Transparency issues when printing from Illustrator CS5

I recently designed a flyer for an event that a group of artists and I are doing as a not-for-profit organization that we started, to help clean up the area and promote the arts.
When I print the file (saved as an AI), the colors are bold, the font is crisp, and everthing overall looks fantastic, apart from this "box" around some of the elements I have created/added to the file.
When being printed from an exported jpeg format, the boxes are not present, but the image overall is of lesser quality (i know it's from being compressed to a jpeg), and the colors are not as bold.
I only have a black & white printer, a Brother MFC-7220. I only found out this issue when my curiousity got the best of me, and printed it to see what it'd look like on paper (8.5"x11") before we sent it off to the print shot. This is when I noticed the problem.
The elements which have this box around them were edited in Photoshop CS 6 (trial), where I had (at least thought), disposed of each elements background, so I could import them into AI as objects, without any background.
The files were edited in PS in new documents with a transparent background, saved as a PSD, then "opened" in Illustrator where I simply copied the object and pasted into the AI file I was working in. I've tried recreating/re-adding the elements from PS back into AI with the same issue.
The image also looks perfect on my screen, no boxes whatsoever. I've tried playing around with printer settings, transparency/raster settings, but the only thing I can get close, is the low-quality jpeg file. This problem also happens when exporting to a PDF, which is what I typically use for my printing format from AI.
Any ideas what's going on here? The pictures linked below show a photo of the AI and the jpeg, and a screencap of my desktop as the AI stands right now. The jpeg export has a few minor changes to it, but are still otherwise the same. The only items that are "supposed" to have this, are the logos for our sponsors in the bottom-left corner.
I'm stumped, nothing is working that I've read about, and I need to get these printed as soon as I can! Any help would be appreciated - please keep in mind I'm a novice when it comes to AI/PS, I know mostly basics.
[url=http://s1286.beta.photobucket.com/user/em0te-apparel/library/AI%20Print%20Issue]PICTURES[/url]

I, too am having the same issue printing from AI CS5. I have edited images in PS CS5 and there is a transparent background. I then placed (File>Place) the PSD files into AI and everything looks good on screen. However, I'm also getting a strange box that appears around my images—though the box itself isn't a solid opaque—it looks more like there's a overprint or screen and so it just shifts the colors behind it. I've tried saving the images as transparent PNGs with the same result. I've also tried playing with my transparency settings in the print dialogue to no avail.
Strangely this is only occurring when I print at 100% size. I came upon this by happenstance when I accidentally printed a copy at 75% and everything was fine. If anyone has any insights, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Printing issues when printing to Server 2008 R2 Print Server

We have a problem with netwok printing that encompasses many different areas and versions of Windows OSes so I will be posting this in a few different places.
Let me lay this out for you. We have a single Server 2008 R2 print server with 300 printers of various models. This print server has both 32 and 64-bit drivers installed for every printer. For the HP printers we are using the HP Universal Printing PCL 6
(version 61.94.3.37) and for the Ricoh printers we are using their PCL6 driver for universal printing version 3.5. All drivers run in Isolation mode and no printer gets published to AD.
We have a mix of Windows clients printing to these printers, both XP Pro and Windows 7 32 and 64-bit.
Now for the problems: The other day one Isolation host on the server went crazy, processing was hitting 100% and memory was fluctuating and growing a lot. After investigating a little that isolation host was having issues accessing the Ricoh Driver (which
was 3.4 at the time). In an attempt to resolve the issue we updated the driver to V. 3.5. This seemed to fix the isolation issues and things calmed down however this is the beginning of many other issues for the clients. Both Windows OS versions (XP and 7)
don't seem to be either downloading and installing the updated driver and/or doing so correctly. Clients are now experiencing extremely slow printing, applications such as Word, Outlook, Excel and others open slowly and it can take 2-3 minutes for print dialog
boxes to open. In all cases it seems that we have to have a tech delete the printer(s), delete the driver and then re-install the printer to make things better but for some reason, which is really unknown, this process doesn't work for every machine and on
some we can't even remove the old drivers at all without booting into SafeMode and doing it that way.
With all of that said, are there any suggestions as to why the clients aren't downloading and installing the drivers from the server correctly? How to avoid these issues when we need to upgrade the drivers on the server in the future? Most importantly right
now, are there any recommendations or scripts on how to force the deletions of the printer, driver, reset the print spoolers and then re-add the printers in a more automated fashion?
I have played with both wmic, pnputil and printuidll and am trying to put something together but without a set solution that will work consistently it becomes a lot more difficult.

We are experiencing a very similar issue.
Windows Server 2008 R2. Printers are deployed over group policy.
Clients range from Windows 7 to Windows 8. Citrix XenDesktop and XenApp environment also connects to these endpoints.
We have A wide assortment of HP printers, and Ricoh Printers.
For the ricoh's we have been historically using the PCL6 drivers for the individual device type (not universal print). Up till recently, it all was working fine, until about some time in the middle of june, when everything just seemed to go crazy.
The issue was resolved by moving off from the PCL 6 drivers and using the PCL5e driver counterparts on all of our ricoh printers.
It would crash XenDesktop applications, it would crash office applications.
The print spooler would lock up, even if the ricoh printers were not actually used, just as long as they were loaded.
Even after loading PCL5 on the servers, some of the clients would simply not download the PCL5 version of the driver from the print server. In order to resolve this, I have created the steps below. Be advised, this may possibly cause damage on your system.
We just found it worked great for us. Local printers will likely have to be manually reinstalled after this.
Directions
Stop the print spooler
Open C:\Windows\System32\Spool and delete the following
All files in SERVERS
All files in PRINTERS
All files in drivers
All files in prtprocs
Start the print spooler
Open a command prompt as administrator, and run the following command
Cscript C:\windows\system32\Printing_Admin_Scripts\en-US\prndrvr.vbs -x
This should further delete all print drivers.
Open a command prompt as a standard user (not administrator) and run the following
Gpupdate
Now wait. It takes a while, but the printers will slowly start to repopulate.
I am still not sure what is going on with the PCL6 drivers for ricoh, and why this issue is happening. I'm guessing it has something to do with the Ricoh auto update that is included in their pcl6 drivers. Maybe some sort of auto update happened recently.

Strange layers issue when printing

Hi Guys,
I am having a strange issue which is probably easy to fix however I am not a heavy adobe user and dont know where to start.
This is the rough process to explain my point but a summary is - when printing PDF files they do not appear as they do on screen.
A picture/document is created in Adobe Illustrator, an outline PDF is then created and saved
I can open the outline PDF successfully, in newer versions of PDF Reader (v8+) the PDF displays on screen correctly. In older versions the PDF is missing lines or various things.
If I print this PDF all these lines etc still missing. I know this sounds vague but I will try and explain.
An example is this - the document is a black box with a silver smaller box on top in the centre. On the screen it shows correctly. When I print, the black box is printed with no silver box.
I have just discovered that the silver box is actually printed however its printed in the background so I think its got to do with layers? If I make the black box to be white, and then print I can see my silver box, so its clear it has been printed in the wrong order.
Oh another thing I have found is the default format for saving PDF files is v1.5 if I choose an older version, the layers are printed correctly
I have both Adobe reader installed on Mac's and PC and the issue happens on both
Surely all the printers I have can't be all in-compatible
Printers:
Kyocera KM-4050
Kyocera FSC5200
Canon MX850
Lanier MP2500
Lanier MP2800

This is not a scanning resolution factor and I have been scanning this way for years. These scans are not photos but documents. This problem just started. And as I said before, the problem also occurs when doing a save as from Illustrator, as well as supplied files from clients, so the scanning process has nothing to do with it. I just can't get them to print right.

Poor Image Quality when Printing PDF from Office 07 using Acrobat 9 Pro Ext

Hi there,
Hoping to figure out why my images (jpegs, gifs, pngs, etc) seem to print in very poor quality when printing from Powerpoint and Word 2007?
When I actually print out the pdf onto paper, the images seem fine. The image quality is also good in Word and Excel
I did not have this problem using Office 2003 products.
Is this a common problem? I realize that the problem maybe Office related but any help or information appreciated.
Thanks

If the images' file format is PNG or TIFF you could play with the compression settings available in Acrobat's Preferences.
Edit > Preferences > select the Category "Convert to PDF".
In the"Converting To PDF" pane, select PNG or TIFF.
Then, click on the Edit Settings" button.
For either image format you could try one of the Lossless compression routines.
Be well...

Poor Image Quality when printing in Pages

I created small (150 x 100 pixel at 72 dpi) images for printing on a one-page flyer in Pages. I dragged and dropped them into place, and things look great on the monitor. But when I print (using a Canon MX310) all-in-one, the images look bad - they are not looking crisp and sharp like they should. I have done everything on my printer settings I can - setting it to FINE quality, photo paper, etc. but they still look bad. Any ideas? I had tried this same thing in InDesign but there I got definitely jagged images on output. The images are TIFFs. I tried a different Canon ip3500 desktop printer, but to no avail.

You need +at least+ 200dpi.
300dpi is recommended to get fine detail.
The size of the image has nothing to do with it, it is how many pixels you have per inch on the page.
Obviously 72dpi has chunky pixels that you can see with your naked eye.
The other thing is where did you get the images from? If they came from the Web then they are probably highly compressed and have compression artifacts which are painfully obvious when printing.
Just changing formats is not going to do anything. What's that they say about a sow's ear…?

Minor Layout Issue when Printing Invoices in Chrome (v20.0.1132.47)

This is a relatively minor issue in the big scheme of things but a client of ours has reported a layout issue when bulk printing invoices in Chrome. It could be default browser behaviour which BC has no control over but I thought I’d submit it anyway.
It occurs when you’re viewing the default Order Report (http://www.yourdomain.com/AdminConsole/#!/CRM/OrderList.aspx) in the BC v3 interface and you want to print invoices in bulk (see screenshot below).
When you print invoices in bulk in Chrome they print on overlapping pages, as opposed to Firefox where each invoice will print on a separate page, which makes management much easier for our client. I’ve tried tinkering with the print settings inside of Chrome but I can seem to change it.
Does anyone know a way around this or are we dealing with default browser behavior that is out of our hands?
Cheers,
Matt

Scaling issue when printing to HP devices from InDesign CS4

I seem to have a recurring error printing from InDesign CS4 (OS X Leopard 10.5.8) to both my HP printers (C3180 & Officejet Pro 8500). When printing at 100% size, the artwork gets scaled up slightly. For example, creating a simple 5 x 5" box ends up coming out at 5.125 x 5.125" on the printed sheet (with no scaling turned on in the print dialogue).
I've not been able to find any support issues related to this on either HP or Adobe's site. I suspect it's s driver/postscript incompatability issue. The same artwork prints at the correct size when exporting to PDF and printing from Acrobat.
Curious if anyone else is experiencing the same problem.

A large percentage of problems we see related to printing seem to be with HP printers. Are you doing borderless or anything like that? What is the page size and scaling in the driver?

Lightroom 2.5 Image Size When Printing

I have searched and tried several approaches, but cannot get LR to adjust an image size correctly when printing.
For example, I have a Lab Test Page tif image that has a document size of 23" W x 29" H and a resolution of 180 ppi.
I can use CSR 4 Image/Image Size to change this to 8" W x 10.5" H and a resolution of 320 ppi using resampling. The reduced image prints correctly in CSR 4 on 8.5" x 11" paper and results in .25" margins top and bottom. The same thing happens in LR 2.5 with the size reduced image.
However, if I try to print the original image using LR 2.5 to automatically resize the image it does not work correctly. I have tried all sorts of combinations of settings to get it to reduce the image (as is done in CSR 4) and print with .25" top/bottom margins without success. The image fails to resize correctly.
Is this a bug, a feature??, or operator error? Can anyone tell how to make LR 2.5 automatically resize so it prints correctly? I have tested this on other computers with the same results.
Thanks

Go to print module.
Select Print to jpg.
Set the resolution at 180 ppi.
Other output settings, sharpening, paper profile as required.
Set the margin sizes as required.
Set the cell size to the size of the image
Set the Custom File Dimensions to the size of the paper...29" x 23" in this case.
You can drag the Cell size and the various borders around until you get exactly the lay out on paper you require. Then when finished hit print to file, name the file and the job is done.
If you want to print a a different size, with a different resolution, on different sized paper, with different borders all this can be done in the print module and it is WYSIWYG so no guess work (or calculations) involved. Using LR rather than PS for this also has the advantage of using much better algorithms for upsizing images than PS and applying output sharpening for the specific media type you intend to print to, all using the RAW data

Slicing image issue when using "save for web"

Keep in mind I am a newbi to photoshop and these forums. I am currently having an issue with using the slice tool when trying to save the image in html format. I have my image completed and when I use the "save for web" feature, it comes up just fine. Then I click the slice tool on the tool bar on the left, and try to drag over the area that I want to slice and it wont work. Currently, every time I try to use the save for when feature, the new box pops up and shows my image with a 1 and a symbol on the top left of the image like the whole image is already made into a slice. The only thing I can do is left click and hold to drag the transparent box to where I want to slice the image, and when I let go, the image does not slice. Any help would be great!

Completely wrong workflow. See the online help on the slice tool.
