Inconsistent printing from an FLA

I am Using Flash MX and Flash 2004.
When I insert jpgs into a keyframe and then try to print out
that page while I am editing the FLA, I get strange results.
Sometimes the jpg prints blank sometimes it is solid blackand
sometimes it prints perfectly. This is true if it is a jpg, broken
apart, a graphic, or a movieclip.
any ideas?
Thanks,

We are going to travel a lot by plane shortly & need the ability to print amongst other things boarding passes.
Luggage size & weight constraints apply & I am looking for a small light printer that works with the ipad2
Thanks

Inconsistent printing from 1 networked computer

Recently purchased and set up officejet 5742. Works fineprinting via wireless connection with 1 wirelessly networked computer but not with the other (both computers using same microsoft office student package).
Will not print from Microsoft office applications (Word, excel, powerpoint etc) When it does not print, there is no error message on either the printer or the laptop.
When it does not print, the printer activates when a file is sent to print, but then just sits there with 'loading' on the printer screen and the spinning circle. The device manager on the lap top says 'printing' but just stays there, after around 3 minutes the printer chimes and then goes back to its standard home screen and seemingly deletes the file from the printer queue as it no longer shows on the device manager.
I have attempted to uninstall/reinstall software, printing via a wired connection and have followed the scan and print doctor re: deleting print spool file contents.
Printing from web, google docs etc fine.

Hey there @SLweip , Welcome to the forums,
I understand you cannot print from Microsoft Office programs from one computer only however, you can print successfully from all other programs. As the printer prints from other programs, and functions fine with your other PC, the hardware is fine and there is no issue with the printer itself. The problem is software related and I suspect there could be an issue with Microsoft Office on the one computer only.
I saw that you have already tried a full uninstall and reinstall of the printer driver and software, which should have resolved any printer related software issues. You can also try running the Print and Scan Doctor. This diagnostic tool will check for any conflicts that could be causing the issue. The tool will show you a report at the end. If there was a problem that the tool could not fix, you will notice it in the results and if that happens, let me know what the problem was. If the tool determines that the printer checks out okay, you can try posting this issue in the Microsoft Forums (below), or even uninstall and reinstall Microsoft Office on the one PC.

Printing From PSE12 - settings not holding/prints are inconsistent.

Printing from PSE12, MacOS with PSE12 controlling color/appling profile.
Color management does not appear to turn off or disengage within any given print driver.
When selecting Color Matching, both ColorSync & given printer are active, both should be ghosted out.
After printing one image/sheet & printing again & selecting Color Matching within the print window both are ghosted out.
Saving a pre-set does not solve the issue.
Currently prints are not matching when having PSE12 controlling color.
what is causing this issue ? Is it PSE12 ? Is it the OS ? WHAT !
Please help. THANKS

This inability to disable color management is within the OS, right ? Or is it PhotoShop Elements ?
Yes I do have means of controlling color management from a driver stand point but the attempt here is to turn color management off from the OS & driver to allow the app to control color management.
Problem is that when printing and setting/selecting settings to allow this, it appears management is getting miss managed.
And if I set a pre-set within PSE, settings do not hold.
I do not want ColorSync to control color management.
I do not want print driver to control color management.
And settings to not hold from print to print and a pre-set does not appear to hold as well.
What is the fix for this ? Do not use PSE ? Do not use MacOS, This does not happen on a WIN based system ?!?

[FIX] Darker prints and color shifts when printing from Lightroom 2

Hi,
The problem :
When printing RAW or TIFF files from LR2, you get a printer output that
is much darker than it should be and that presents various color shifts.
I'm using an Epson Stylus Pro 3800 with the latest Windows driver
(6.50 - which is rather old by the way). The workaround described below
works for me under Windows XP SP3. It should also probably work with
other systems/printers/drivers. Use at your own (minor) risk.
The "official" procedure for printing from LR is as follows:
1. Do not let the printer manage colors and select "Other..." from the
profile dropdown list and select the ICC/ICM paper/printer profile that
you want to use.
2. Click on Print... in LR which opens the Print Settings dialog.
3. Select the options you need and the paper you're using.
4. **Disable the color management from the driver's side** (in Epson's
drivers, "Mode | Custom | No Color Adjustments").
5. Print
Unfortunately, **this doesn't work** for many of us and this produces a
print that is dark and has color shifts as mentioned above. Note that
the same image prints correctly from QImage or Photoshop CS3 (that is,
the printer output corresponds to what you see on your calibrated
display).
Apparently, although color management has been (allegedly) disabled in
the driver, there's something wrong between LR and the driver which
makes that *both* LR and the driver are still trying to manage colors.
In other words, the "No Color Adjustements" option of the driver doesn't
seem to work with LR.
The workaround (found after hours of hair pulling and paper and
expensive ink wasting):
In step #4,
1. Instead of selecting "No Color Adjustments", set Mode to "Custom |
ICM
2. Click Advanced...
3. Check "Show all profiles".
4. Select Driver ICM (Advanced)"
5. Set **both** the "Input profile" and the "Printer profile" fields to
the very same profile that you specified in LR.
That is, if you specified Pro38 PGPP (Premium Glossy Photo Paper) in LR,
then also select Pro38 PGPP in both "Input Profile" and "Printer
Profile". This has actually the same effect has disabling color
management in the driver (what "No Color Adjustements" should normally
take care of).
That's it. When printing, you'll get exactly the same color results as
when printing from QImage or Photoshop. No more dark prints. No more
color shifts.
One might think that the bug is in the Epson driver but in that case,
QImage would have the very same problem. So I tend to think that the bug
is on the Lightroom side.
Note: Although Photoshop CS3 produces a correct printer output, it
demonstrates the same problem as LR when using the "Match Print Color"
option for soft proofing. But in that case, only the preview colors are
wrong. The printer output is ok. Which also tends to demonstrate that
Adobe has the problem, not Epson. Or maybe both... :-) .
Don't ask me why some users have the problem and other don't.
Hope this helps.

A sincere thank you for your reply, Michael. Sorry about the "it just doesn't make sense" shortcut. I have been trying to solve this issue since LR 1.1, spending dozens of hours on different trials and digesting everything written on this forum and the B9180 forum about color management and double profiling. My shortcut was a summation of my experience (and my frustration) but doesn't really advance the conversation. Here are some data that should be more useful in diagnosing the problem.
I am running Windows XP SP2. I calibrate my monitor monthly with the Spyder. The reason I suspect this may be an issue of double profiling is because the results (moderately strong magenta overlay plus an increase in contrast) match what more knowledgeable people than I on this forum describe when double profiling occurs. Perhaps I shouldn't presume it is double profiling, and follow Patrick Philippot's lead in naming the problem "color shifts." Patrick does refer in post #2 of this thread, however, to obvious double profiling.
I certainly do have a successful and consistent print method. With PS CS3, and either my Epson 1280 or my HP B9180, the output is almost always dead on. Here is how I do it. In PS from the print dialog box, under color handling I always choose "Photoshop manages colors." Then under printer profile I select the profile designated by the manufacturer for a particular paper/printer combination. Then in the printer driver I disable printer control of color. With the Epson I check the box "Off (No Color Adjustment)." With the B9180 I choose the option "Application Managed Colors." While I sometimes may tweak the final output, these procedures have served me well with PS for several years.
Contrasted with my positive PS experience, my experience with LR printing has been inconsistent. I regret having to be so imprecise but truly sometimes LR produces accurate results that match the calibrated monitor, but most of the time it does not. I use standard procedures with LR that parallel the PS ones described above. In LR's printing panel, under color management, I specify the correct profile, just as I did for PS. Then in the printer driver I use the same procedures I use with PS. Most of the time the prints have the magenta overlay and too much contrast.
BTW, the inconsistent LR printing only takes place with my HP B9180. I have never had any problem with off-color LR prints with my Epson 1280. Again, I emphasize that I have standard procedures that always work with PS (no matter which printer) and LR (but only with the Epson).
Unfortunately the LR printing problems are intermittent. Some of the time (perhaps 20%) LR produces fine prints in the B9180, indistinguishable from PS prints. When LR is printing well, it will continue to print fine until "something happens" and the output shows the color shift. This means I do not get a random sequence of good-bad-good-bad prints, but rather good-good-x factor-bad-bad-bad. Ths problem is that I do not know what this "x factor" is. Once, when LR was giving me accurate output, I simply changed the default printer (Control Panel-Printers and Faxes) from the B9180 to my Samsung 1430 laser; immediately afterwards the LR output colors shifted. Did LR react to this change in default printers? Another time I had good LR printing success with version 1.2 but ran into the problems described above when I upgraded to version 1.3.
Sorry for the long post. I am hoping that someone will see something that I am missing and provide a hint. I think, though, that Patrick is correct when he states, "I tend to think that the problem is with LR. After all, similar issues (obvious double profiling) are observed only in LR but with various printers."

Can't print from Illustrator or Acrobat

Hi all,
I just upgraded my iMac to Mavericks, and am now having trouble printing from CS5. The message I get is "Can't print the illustration. The Color Management settings are inconsistent." I hadn't made any color management changes, so I assume this is related to the upgrade. I checked AI, PS, ID, and Acrobat, and all the settings are North American General Purpose 2. I opened Bridge, and it has the same color setting, and says that all CS apps are synchronized using the same color settings. How do I fix this so I can print?
Thanks,
Sue

Most of the time, I can't access the Printers & Scanners pane at all - I keep getting an error message (Could not load Printers & Scanners preference pane.). The few times that I did get in, the left pane that usually lists my printers is filled with bits and pieces of type and illustrations and symbols, so I can't select a printer. I tried printing to a different printer (Epson), and can do that without any issues (duh, don't know why I didn't try that last night). I can also print from Word to the printer that my CS5 apps won't print to (HP).
I spent some time this morning with AppleCare, and they want to walk me through reinstalling Mavericks. I have too much work to do at the moment to take the hour or so to reinstall, so I'll call them back this evening.
This is fun. Not.

Question about file preparation for print from Photoshop

I need to figure out the best method for saving for print from Photoshop. Here are the things that are confusing me:
Problem: When I create a design in Photoshop, I'm left with a few options on how to save my document. I would like to know which of the following is the best method:
Method 1: create a pdf and embed the required fonts. This method worries me because I've read that certain fonts will not open on the recipients end due to restrictions set by the font maker. Is this something I should be concerned with or is embedding fonts the best route to take?
Method 2: Convert all type to shapes. This method seems like the safest but I've read problems associated with this route as well. One website commented that having too much text converted to shapes can cause extremely long print times. Is this true?
Another problem I've encountered with converting text to shapes is when I have a paragraph that has more than one text color...converting to shapes converts everything to just a single color. I would love to know a work around to this. Currently I have to create separate layers for the different text colors and try to manually align them...very time consuming. I know InDesign would be best for this type of thing, but Photoshop works just fine for me, asside from this one little thing).
Method 3: Flatten my entire design (text and all) at 300dpi. Will my text look crisp flattening at this resolution?
Thank you to anyone who can help clear this up for me. I read so much inconsistant information online that I don't know what to think anymore.

Method 1: create a pdf and embed the required fonts. This method
worries me because I've read that certain fonts will not open on the
recipients end due to restrictions set by the font maker. Is this
something I should be concerned with or is embedding fonts the best
route to take?
Always embed fonts, but then again, Photoshop can't until you save a format that can like PDF. Some fonts do not allow you to do so. Outline the fonts or convert to shapes. Better yet, stop building text documents in Photoshop for print. It's generally a bad idea for many reasons like rejected jobs and lost money and time.
Method
2: Convert all type to shapes. This method seems like the safest but
I've read problems associated with this route as well. One website
commented that having too much text converted to shapes can cause
extremely long print times. Is this true?
Problems arise if you want someone to edit the files, but the same goes for a font that is missing. As far as the print slow down times - it depends upon the RIP and how complex the file is. Maybe or maybe not be an issue. After all, text in Photoshop is using a font as a vector shape layer and not a font in the traditional sense.
Another problem I've encountered
with converting text to shapes is when I have a paragraph that has more
than one text color...converting to shapes converts everything to just a
single color. I would love to know a work around to this. Currently I
have to create separate layers for the different text colors and try to
manually align them...very time consuming. I know InDesign would be best
for this type of thing, but Photoshop works just fine for me, asside
from this one little thing).
A paragraph? Please attend a school that teaches you the basics of design in graphics. It will do you a great service to get more studies under your belt. Photoshop text is for graphical art not type setting.
Method 3: Flatten my entire design (text and all)
at 300dpi. Will my text look crisp flattening at this resolution?
It depends upon the resolution of the output device. The higher the resolution of the output the worse your text will be.

Inconsistent results from CallableStatement

We are getting inconsistent results from a call to an Oracle database. We have a CallableStatement that returns 4 INTEGERs.
It runs perfectly if I run the Oracle procedure directly from the sql command line and then call it from the java code.
However if I recompile the Oracle stored procedures and execute the Callable Statement (without first running it from sql) then I am getting incorrect results...1,2,1,1 is being returned instead of 1,2,0,3. Are these results being cached somewhere???
We are using Oracle 8.1.7, JDK 1.3.1, and Oracle thin driver 8.1.7.
The code is as follows:
<pre>
private CallableStatement autoLBNumbersNeeded;
private void prepareStatements(){
     autoLBNumbersNeeded=dbConnection.prepareCall("{CALL
     pkg_scheduler.pr_auto_lb_nos(?,?,?,?)}");
     autoLBNumbersNeeded.clearParameters();
     autoLBNumbersNeeded.registerOutParameter(1, java.sql.Types.INTEGER);
     autoLBNumbersNeeded.registerOutParameter(2, java.sql.Types.INTEGER);
     autoLBNumbersNeeded.registerOutParameter(3, java.sql.Types.INTEGER);
     autoLBNumbersNeeded.registerOutParameter(4, java.sql.Types.INTEGER);
public UserNumber[] doAutoLoadBalancing () throws SQLException {
autoLBNumbersNeeded.clearParameters();
autoLBNumbersNeeded.execute();
mwFF = autoLBNumbersNeeded.getLong(1);
mwHF = autoLBNumbersNeeded.getLong(2);
wmFF = autoLBNumbersNeeded.getLong(3);
wmHF = autoLBNumbersNeeded.getLong(4);
autoLBNumbersNeeded.clearParameters();
</pre>
The Oracle procedure is
<pre>
PROCEDURE proc1( p_parm_1 OUT NUMBER, p_parm_2 OUT NUMBER, p_parm_3
OUT NUMBER, p_parm_4 OUT NUMBER)
AS
BEGIN

SELECT COUNT(*)

EXCEPTION
blah .......
END proc1;
</pre>
Can anyone help?
Many thanks
Fionnuala

Hi
Yes I have a debug line that prints them out in the doAutoLoadBalancing method - this is the point where I am diagnosing the problem. It only prints the correct results after I have already run the procedure from the SQL command line.
public UserNumber[] doAutoLoadBalancing () throws SQLException {
autoLBNumbersNeeded.clearParameters();
autoLBNumbersNeeded.execute();
mwFF = autoLBNumbersNeeded.getLong(1);
mwHF = autoLBNumbersNeeded.getLong(2);
wmFF = autoLBNumbersNeeded.getLong(3);
wmHF = autoLBNumbersNeeded.getLong(4);
autoLBNumbersNeeded.clearParameters();
if (m_cat.isDebugEnabled()) {m_cat.debug("mwFF: "+mwFF+"; mwHF: " +mwHF+"; wmFF: "+wmFF+"; wmHF: "+wmHF);}

Printing from Adobe Reader

Since updating Mac OS X to Version 10.6.6, I can't print from Adobe Reader. I have read other recent posts with similar problems, but have not located an adequate response. I have updated Driver Software from HP. The problem is inconsistent. Sometimes one or two pages will print from a multi-page document. More often nothing will print... "Sending data to printer" Nada. Printer goes offline. It's always been touch and go with Adobe Reader, as well as printing from Safari, but never as bad as this. I used to save documents from Safari as PDF's so they would be easier to print. Not anymore! Any ideas?

+I used to save documents from Safari as PDF's so they would be easier to print. Not anymore!+
Why not? I only use that Reader when I'm forced to. Simply do a Command + I on any PDF document and, in the resulting window, choose Preview under "Open with:" and then click on "change all" underneath. That will make Preview the default app for PDFs and it works like a charm.

'Dunning Letter Print from Dunning Letter Generate'

hi,
How can i run the "Dunning Letter Print from Dunning Letter Generate" standard program without runing the spwaned program called 'Dunning Letter Generate'.I mean i want to run the 'Dunning Letter Print from Dunning Letter Generate'(execution method: report) independently.
I need to pass the parameters to the 'Dunning Letter Print from Dunning Letter Generate' directly instead of passing to the spwaned program ''Dunning Letter Generate".
Thanks
Devender

Hi Gareth,
New parameters to be add are:
Tier : <xxxx>
Service Segment: <xxxxx>
Account Manager: <xxxx>
Location where I am picking these 3:
navigation:select any AR responsibility
customer->standard(query with any customer)->customer address
we have enabled 'site use information' dff in customer address window, from this dff we are taking these 3 parameters.
reason to add these 3 parameters:
we cant treat all the customers same. so we need to send some smooth(no harsh) dunning letters to some of our most trusted customers. so how can we identify gud customers in the list.
so we have enabled site use information dff. those customers who is have values for these 3 parameters. will be treated as v good and reguler customers for us. so for them we can send other dunning letters.
note*: this is to identify the customers like reguler customers,non requler customers.
bez in spwaned program we have parameters like 1.customer low 2.customer high. thats it .so it is very difficult to find out the nature of customer.
pls advice me on this..to proceed further..
Thanks
Devender

I can't print web pages since a recent upgrade to 4.01. The print command works but the page comes out empty. right now a copy the link to IE and print from there. HELP!

When printing from the mozilla 4.01 browser the printer spits out blank pages. It seems like it happened after downloading and running mozilla 4.01 browser.
I have to copy the link to IE (boo!) to print the coupon or page on my printer.
Why?

The "Use custom settings for history" selection allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting this doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.
Firefox shows "Use custom settings for history" as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".
"Never Remember History" means that Private Browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" gets a checkmark.
You need to remove the checkmark on "Always use private browsing mode" to leave Private Browsing mode or chose the "Remember History" setting.

How can I print from the icon in FF5?

I have been unable to print from any of the icons in FF5. This has only occurred in the past few days. The only way I can print is to "Select" on the page, and then "Print Selection" on the print screen. I can print from IE by using the icons.
This is also true with my Yahoo email.

In Mac OS X, right-clicking the document's icon brings up a similar menu, but documents are printed from the application, not from the OS. The application is launched, the document opened,and the document sent to the printer, bypassing only the Print dialogue.
The same route may be triggered by dragging and dropping the file's icon onto the printer's icon in the Dock.

Barry

I can no longer print from a website. I can from other browsers but not Mozilla. Help

I used to be able to print any time I needed to. Then the print became so small I could not read it. Then the pages I printed from the website, printed blank pages. I contacted Thunderbird because this was first noted on email when I tried to print something from a website, they told me it was a Mozilla problem. So I then tried to print straight from the website and got the same thing. Nothing. The page is completely blank when printed.

These suggestions are not the problem and I have contacted HP and they have run all the diagnostics and they say the problem is not with the printer or the software. All other browsers print, just not Mozilla

MFP M127fn connected, test printing OK, can't print from applications

Hello Everyone!
I have just set up my M127fn via USB on a Windows 8 system. The set up went fine. I have a small stack of test pages from the HP software, but it won't print anything from any applications like MSOffice. The HP diagnostic software (Print and Scan Doctor 4.6) can communicate with the printer and everything checks out OK.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Can't print from iBook G4 via Windows XP to an HP PSC 1410

Hello,
I realize this question is very similar to others on this discussion but I haven't been able to find an answer to my problem.
I cannot print from my iBook via XP to an HP PSC 1410.
I can print from my iBook via XP to an HP LaserJet 4L.
I was able to print from my iBook via XP to an HP882C that was connected
to the same USB port that the HP PSC 1410 is connected to now.
I have an iBook G4 running 10.4.3
I have a PC running XP with an HP LaserJet 4L on a parallel port and an HP PSC 1410 on a USB port.
I installed the following from http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/hpijs/
hpijs-foomatic-2.02.ppc.dmg
espgs-7.07.1.ppc.dmg
HP-PSC_1400-hpijs.ppd
I think I correctly followed the instructions at:
http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/3015.html
They worked for the LaserJet printer.
When I attempt to print from the iBook to the 1410 the HP doesn't print at all.
I don't see any error messages on the iBook. The document gets spooled onto the Windows print spooler, the printer even starts making noises, the print heads move about a bit and then stop. The print job just sits there in the queue with a status of "Printing". The print job is then stuck and hard to delete.
I don't need to be able to scan or check ink levels from the iBook.
I would just like to be able to do color printing.
What else should I try? Given the symptoms where might I be going wrong?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3) 1 Gig RAM

I found the answer to this problem on Linux printing provided by Steve Stuart.

Hi all,
I finally figured out what the issue was, Why it fixes it I can not say,
but it does.
On the Shared printer on the Windows side, go to the properties of the Printer.
Go to the Ports tab, and deselect the "Enable bidirectional Support" (do not
have it checked). Once this is done and you also do not have any firewalls
setup on the Windows machine (Windows, MCAfee, Norton, ....). You should be
able to print.
Finally!!!!! I hope this helps many many people. As I have had many
people asking for the solution if I found it.
Thanks,
