Images not printing properly in InDesignCS4
I posted this in the color management forum but realize this may be a better place. Apologies for double-posting...
I have made the switch from Apple Pages to InDesign (CS4) and am having poor print results. The same document, with the same image sources look great when printed on my Epson 1900 through Pages. When I print through InDesign, photos are washed out and slightly greenish. Pages directly accesses the print dialogue box where I have color management set to "no" and the correct paper type etc. Images print exactly as they do when I print directly from Photoshop.
In InDesign I have tried several things...in clr mgmt I have In Design manage and correct paper profile (print settings also have clr mgmt turned off and correct paper type) I have tried both selecting and un-selecting preserve RGB(but I believe for inkjet it should be checked) Just always looks really bad. In the clr management box it is set to Document, but the profile, an sRGB IEC... profile, is not what I see for profile in Photoshop's color management. There it is cameraRGB. Should they not match? I am using the "place" command.
Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong?
I have superb color prints from Photoshop and pages using the same images and the same epson r1900... so I know it isn't the images!
thanks

Your working and or assigned RGB color space in ID should be exactly the same as your image color space. Also be sure you Transparency Blend Space is set for RGB. Don't forget to set rendering intent to the same as the PS print dialog settings.
Output: Composite RGB
Graphics/Send Data: All
Color Management/Print: Document (should sow up as same space image is in)
Color Management/Options/Color Handling: Let ID Determind Color
Color Management/Options/Printer Profile: Same printer/paper profile as you selected in the PS print dialog.
Color Management/Options/Output Color: Preserve RGB Numbers Unchecked.
Advanced: Print as Bitmap Checked.
Printer Dialog
Here you need to make choices as ID uses the old printing path. Make sure you select Printer controls in Color Matching and then turn of CM in the driver.

Windows 7 in OS printer driver for Deskjet 6840 not printing properly
The Windows 7 (32 bit) in OS print driver for the Deskjet 6840 produces print in "Normal" mode that is blurred (not properly registered left to right and slightly vertically). When printing in "Draft" mode it is apparent that the driver is not setting the left and right margins correctly, so that each line is alternately shifted left or right on the page. If I switch to a 500C driver, the printer works fine (but of course high res images do not print properly). This is occuring on two wired network computers, both running clean installs of Windows 7 professional with all current updates including Service Pack 1. Microsoft says, "It's a HP printer, it's their problem". I'm just looking for an answer. Anyone have experience with this?
Hello Bhl3302,
Thanks for posting at NI forums! I think you should follow RavensFan advice on contacting the vendor for information on the driver’s support, or if you have a readme file, you could check on that. Also, are the Windows XP and Windows sharing the same architecture (32 or 64 bits)? Maybe the driver is not compatible with one of them, in case it changed. I did a quick search on the error message you're getting, and I found this forum in which they give some steps you could follow regarding the INF file. For instance, in one of the comments, they say they had a similar issue with another device and they found some work arounds.

Bill of Lading (BOL) was not printing properly
Hi ,
In Production system, Bill of Lading (BOL) was not printing properly.
Only a part of BOL is printed.
It was happening only for one BOL, where as other BOLs are printing correctly.
Even spool was generated successfully.
Cananybodytellmewhatistheproblem?
Regards,
KotiHi Kotireddy,
I also face the same problem long back. The problem was at the delivery item text.
One of the line item texts contained a special character.
Once the special character was removed, everything was normal. BOL was printed successfully.
Check the failed BOL, whether this may be the problem.

USB P1505 not printing properly via Terminal Services
I have problem printing to these printers via terminal services. Other pinters print fine but these guys either print intermittently or not at all. I have installed the latest drivers on the TS and the clients. Sometimes sessions will be created and jobs would just remain in the queue or take a very long time to print. They are the USB and not the N models.
Any ideas?
Win2k3 server
Win2k Pro/WinXP clientsThe router is Zylex, the printer is an hp deskjet 3512. I first used the disk that came with the printer that did not work, so I uninstalled and downloaded off of this site thinking maybe it would be a more updated version. That did not work either. I have done all of the other troubleshooting that I have found on this site through other forums I unplugged the router, checked countless times to make sure the password and network were correct.
My main issue at this point in time is that it will not print properly at all. I dont know if I need to download something to make it work. I am a full time student, work full time, and have children. I need my printer to work when I hook it up to usb, I dont have time to for all of these problems that I have had with this printer. I am actually in need of something printed at this very moment and my library is closed which is where I have had to go and pay .25 a page to print anything. So Please help!!!! -

Jewel case insert does not print properly since new itunes version was installed
jewel case insert does not print properly since new itunes version was installed. The song list prints all of the line items too close together without space inbetween each song.
I am having the same issue. If I close itunes and open with a new CD already in the drive, it will find it. But once that CD has been imported and ejected, itunes does not find the newly inserted CD and there is no command to tell itunes to "look" in the CD drive

How do I fix problem with linked and cropped image frames not printing properly when spanning pages?
We are using InDesign (ID) to develop and print church bulletins which contain a combination of text frames and graphics. One of the graphic types we use are TIF files which are high-resolution scans of hymns.
A hymn usually has a combination of the musical score, plus the lyrics - with many verses., so the modular structure is 'staff' composed of a treble clef, followed by verses, followed by a base clef.
If the example above had 6 verses instead of one, we would crop the image by adjusting the frame, so that the treble clef and the desired verses showed through the frame.
We would then copy and link the frame - piggy back - adjusting the next content window etc....so we build a custom version of the music as a series of linked frames - each with the same base image, but a different frame position.
So this works fine, when we do this on a single page, but when we then add a 'last staff' at the top of the following page, we encounter print problems with some output devices.
Imagine a two-page spread, with a full page of music on the left, and the last staff (treble clef, verses, base clef) unit as a separately linked frame at the top of the right page of the spread.
It displays correctly, and will print individually as pages correctly, but when we print it as a booklet, the last frame drops out and we have blank space.
I can print the document to PDF and it works fine, but if I print it to a copier or laser printer I get drop out.
It is inconsistent.
Previews are always okay. Individual page prints are okay, but when you print the entire document, the last frame in this kind of linked series gets blanked.
If we create and name the image differently, and call it in as a new image - (not linked to the previous), but it is still a large image that is cropped to a small piece, then it doesn't print.
If we save the last frame as a different image type (take the TIFF file into photoshop, crop it and save it as a jpg - so it is only the 'snippet') and then import it, it works fine.
So my question to you InDesigners....is there some setting or tip or trick I need to know to be able to link a series of frames with the same base image, but different crops and make it span across two pages properly.
Or do we need to play this game of crop and trim the image so that it doesn't drop out?
Any thoughts, advice, direction would be gratefully received!I did a lot of such hymn things in the past, but I was alway working on the scans in Photoshop, like adjusting, retouching spots and cropping. And I was always seperating those images to be more flexible so I never run into such a problem.
I am always scanning in a higher quality level than I would need, I scan it in color, this allows me to eliminate paper color easily, even if I need 1-bit images at the end, I do it in color, so I can also turn the image.
I did once run into a similar problem with a scan I have got from a copier-scanner machine (it was not a song). But saving as PSD resolved my problem.
So I would suggest: Open your files in Photoshop, resave them as PSD files and use those instead. If you use 1-bit images (which is fine for this type of images) you should use a resolution equal to the printer's resolution. -

PrintDataGrid's DataGridColumn - Embedded image not printing when you use TextFlow in the item rende
I'm printing a datagrid using something like this...
<mx:PrintDataGrid
id="printDataGrid"
width="100%"
height="100%"
showHeaders="false"
borderVisible="false"
horizontalGridLines="false"
variableRowHeight="true"
dataProvider="{titles}"
>
<mx:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn
itemRenderer="renderer.TitlePrintRenderer"
/>
</mx:columns>
</mx:PrintDataGrid>
TitlePrintRenderer.mxml has s:RichText component. I use RichText's textFlow property to render the text. The approach is working fine except that if the textFlow has embedded images (<img source=... />), the images are not printed!
Is this a bug? Is it a limitation? Has anyone come across this issue?
I'm using Flex SDK 4.5.1After struggling for 4+ days on using timer / events for printing PrintDataGrid with embedded images in RichText's textFlow, I tried your other suggestion... to convert <img> tags to InlineGraphicElement and give it Bitmap from image loaded from a .gif file. The approach works but the printout skips images in a few rows!
I've this test case in which, every time I print, it skips printing image in the second row! I also implemented this approach in a more complex test case and depending on the total number of rows, it would skip printing image in different number of rows. I'm suspecting that even if you construct InlineGraphicElement from bitmap loaded from an image, PrintDataGrid's renderer still skips printing image intermittently.
I would very much appreciate it if you could create small project from my following code and verify this behavior. I'm at my wit's end in getting this printing to work.

Image not printed in SapScript, only after page break
Hi,
I have a problem in printing an image (stored as text) in a sapscript. The image was uploaded correctly from a TIF file in tcode SE78. The image contains a signature and I need to print it at variable positions within the form. That is I need to print it in the MAIN window. The image does not get printed when a page break occurs when outputing the text element containing the picture. If the page break occurs when outputing any (other) text, the image is printed correctly (after that text).
Has anybody else encountered this problem? Could it be a sapscript bug?
Thx in advance.

Envelopes do not print properly using an All-in-One Photosmart C410a and C310a
My HP C410a is USB attached. Serial
Using Windows 7, SP2 (Home Premium - desktop); and Windows XP (laptop)
Using Word 2010 (WIN7) and Word 2007 (WIN/XP)
The printer has latest drivers: PS_AIO_07_C410_FSW_Full_Win_enu_140_222.exe
April 1, 2010
It prints normal pages OK, e.g.: there are no anomalies.
But, when I print an envelope from Word 2010 it does not print on the envelope as expected (a No. 10 envelope), but rather the printer IGNORES the formatting in Word and prints the address as if the envelope in the printer is an 8-1/2”x11” page, in landscape mode (the only correct action).
I have uninstalled and deleted the driver multiple times.
Yes, I last did the uninstall Sunday June 12, 2011; followed by a fresh install.
Yes, I printed an envelope after the fresh install and it printed properly.
Today, the anomaly (the address prints in the wrong location, e.g.: middle of an 8-1/2”x11” page) has recurred.
Between Sunday and today, I did not make any changes in my system, e.g.: no Windows, Office, etc. updates. And, I did not change any of the envelope formatting or print options in Word 2010.
This is NOT a physical problem, rollers, print head, etc. as the printer is barely one month old --- and do note that the envelope (actually multiple) printed properly the other day - Sunday.
This is not the first time that this has occurred. Yes, on previous occasions I uninstalled and installed the drivers.
AND, more importantly, I have a laptop that uses the same printer, same driver, and Word 2007. It too now prints the envelope address incorrectly, e.g.: as if it is an 8-1/2”x11” page.
Hence, there is something inherently bad, wrong, defective, etc. inside the printer itself.
Before sending me on an Easter egg hunt, do notel:
Restarting, e.g.; power off /on /off / on does not work or fix the issue.
Uninstalling drivers and reinstalling drivers does not work, as explained.
Switching PC’s, as explained does not work.
Using different software suites, e.g.: Word 2007 (Windows XP – Professional) and Word 2010 does not work.
There are NO new updates from HP per the HP Solution Center.
What is HP’s solution?This is not a problem with the printer - Word 2010 has it's own way of printing envelopes and labels that you must follow regardless of the printer. I have included some screenshots below to guide you along - I hope you find this helpful. The 3rd pic has the important areas marked with red rectangles - those are different from the defaults that Word ALWAYS seems to present at least on my system. With the following procedure, load the envelope as instruction in the HP Solution Center How-Do-I... videos (search for envelope - it should be among the first few articles you are presented in the search results).

Himanshu
