InDesign CS6 not printing correctly

Hi, Thank you in advance for anyone that could shred some lights to this problem. I'm new to InDesign and I'm trying to create a yearbook.
I'm using a Mac OS X, Verision 10.9.1. Printer: HP Officejet 6600. The spread is 8.5 X 11 (with facing page), and .125 in bleed all around.
I have the printer set to print borderless (edge to edge). When I print one page, it prints perfectly. The problem arise when I tries to print more than one page.
What happens is the first page prints perfectly, but all the other pages prints with a 1/8" white space (border) on top. I tried to export and print via pdf, and got the same result.
Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you,
Isis

Waht you are doing wrong is expecting an HP printer to work flawlessly with InDesign. Seriously. The number one contender on the list of printer manufacturers whose devices don't work well with InDesign is HP.
Exoprt your doc to PDF, then print that from Acrobat.

Why is my indesign cs6 not printing black (k100) properly?

Indesign will not print black at 100% properly, but at 90% down to 1%, prints fine?

Nothing changed. Thats the first thing I though might be the issue, but wouldn't explain why the black at 99% prints fine and the black at 100% prints a washed out green/black?

Acrobat/Indesign does not export correct into the selected output intention (eci_iso_coated_v2_300)

I use the CS6 suite with Acrobat XI at windows platform.
When I want to save a file from InDesign as .pdf with output intention eci_iso_coated_v2_300 the result is a .pdf with more than 300% ink coverage.
I tried to transform the result in Acrobat XI into this standard output intention, but also the result has more than 300 % ink coverage.
What is the reason of this bug?
Before with Acrobat X this worked without problems

Hi Rob,
I was told the new way to work would be to draw files via Bridge direct into the InDesign file
and I thought automatically the color would not be changed.
my colourmanagement setting in bridge for the whole CS6 was ECI isocoated_V2_300
The Illustrator file was saved without color profile.
In this test file I used 3 kinds of black: background of pirate in cmyk 79,34 / 72,78 / 59,38 / 79,88 = ink coverage 291 %
DÜSSELPIRATEN in “black” (if you would convert this in the file with the cmyk button it would be the same ink-percentage as before
“e.V.” was set to 100 % k
I set the preferences for Acrobat from InDesign CS6 as pdf X4 with profile eci isocoatedV2_300 in three ways:
no color conversion
convert to profile
convert to profile keeping existing values
in all tree files the pirates background has 322 % ink coverage instead of 291 %
Why does Acrobat convert “black” in the wrong way? If I click in Illustrator on the 4c button to convert the “black” into 4c it is 291% ink
Acrobat should come to the same result with all profiles: iso coated V2 and iso coated V2_300
The same happens also by saving as .pdf X3 or .X1
The minimum what I expect is, that Acrobat reduces ink coverage for black to 300 %
I also made test with the new ECI profiles for laminated prints from 2012.
And with newspaper profiles
In this case the ink coverage comes below 300 %, but only when I choose convert to profile.
And then the 100 % k converts to cmyk, what I don’t want to have with text.
Is there no way to reduce ink coverage below a special percentage without changing Text 100% k
And is there a bug in Acrobat XI with the ECI IsoCoated_V2_300 Profile? For there is no color reduction below 300 % in all conversion settings.
I can’t test this with Acrobat X or IX, for my computers with this software don’t run with CS6 64 bit.
enclosed you find my files

11x17 tabloid does not print correctly

I am using an HP Photosmart printer model 8550, my previous printer was an HP Photosmart 8750. That printer died and the 8550 is the newer model of the same printer. When trying to print an 11X17 document in tabloid, the page does not print correctly nor does it show in preview mode correctly. The page shifts to the upper left corner so that the left side and top of the document do not print. If you scale down the size you can get it to print the whole documentm but you cannot get it to use the whole 11x17 page. Anyone else with this problem and a solution? Thanks!

I am having a similar problem. I have windows XL,
and a hp Deskjet 9800. I have been using PM 6.5 ever since it came out. I publish a newsletter using tabloid fold in half, under booklet. So it is a really a 4 page document. It has always done fine until this week. It prints the copy in reduced format that would fit on a 8 1\2 x 11. I have tried every setting possible, with no success. Today I downloaded the trial 7.0 version, it does the same thing. I went back and printed old versions that a 3 & 4 years old they won't print right now, either.
It's old software and new operating system/printer drivers. You are unlikely to get any help from Adobe or HP but you can try.
Create a PDF and print that as it's unlikely the DeskJet has PS mode.
BTW, booklet printing is far easier with ISO paper sizes.
Move on up to InDesign while you can still get a big discount with PM Licence number.

Transaction Register Report not printing Correctly

Hi,
In Accounts Receivables Transaction Register Report is not printing correctly..
Once I issue print job for Transaction Register Report...Blank page is coming..

Does the print work properly with other reports? If so, I suggest you run the report in debug mode. Please check (Note: 226013.1 - How to run AR RXi reports in debug mode) for more details.

Upgraded to CS5 Illustrator form CS3 Illustrator. Colors are not printing correctly in CS5

I have just recently purchased CS5 Premium Suite. I am working with Illustrator. When I print my CS3 Illustrator files in CS5 the colors are not printing correctly. Is there a way to fix this problem

I've been doing more troubleshooting since I wrote this post. I've now tried printing from a non-Adobe app and I'm getting the same margin error. So it is definitely a Xerox issue and I have a tech coming out on Monday.
The reason I originally figured it must be an CS5 issue is because just two weeks ago when I was using CS2, our landscape-oriented programs were printing with .25" margins as they should. Then last week after upgrading to CS5, the inside page (2nd page) was noticeably out of whack and shifted to the right (not left). But when I started trying to troubleshoot this week, everything started shifting to the left.
The only thing different between those two weeks was the fact I updated to CS5.
But obviously, my printer as decided to go to crap in more ways than one all in a two week period. Hopefully the tech can sort it out next Monday.
Thanks!

PDF will not print correctly from any app

I seem to keep on getting the same error everywhere I print on SL (from safari/firefox/preview etc etc)
It will usually print any lines or logos but miss all text?? I did have the dreaded adobe reader installed but have since removed it?
I am in urgent need of printing out some manuals for a class so in real trouble, help!

Where do these PDFs that do not print correctly come from? Are they downloaded from the internet or from email? Or do you create them yourself on your computer? If so, in which program?
Do some PDF files print correctly, but not others? Did you remove the dreaded Acrobat Reader before this problem developed or after? Did this problem develop only after you ungraded to a certain release of Snow Leopard or has it never worked in SL?
PDF is wonderful technology, but every so often there can be issues.

INDesign pdf not printing fully width

I designed some business cards 2 x 3.5 in. They are stack stacked 5 high and two wide. There is no gutter. Viewing the rules the image is 7" wide and 10 " high. Yet when I print i lose a 1/16 of an inch in width ONLY.
I tried to print on two different laster printers and the same dimensions are printed 1/16 narrower in width.
Since the cards have a background the image is not printing correctly.
What am I doing wrong? I am using cs3.
Thanks in advance

Layout adjustment allows the document to automatically resize or reoposition objects snapped to the guides if you adjust margins or page size and is not a factor in your problem. It is possible to print to PDF if you have the full version of Acrobat installed and are running Windows or Mac OS prior to Snow Leopard instead of exporting, but it isn't a recommended workflow.
What size is being reported by Acrobat for the PDF in the document properties? As far as I know it's impossible to scale a page during export. Is this REALLY a problem with scaling, or a problem that the print is misaligned on the stock? You cannot expect a deskstop printer to have the same degree of accuracy in placement on the sheet that you get with a press. Page-to-page drift of 1/8 inch is pretty normal. It's also not unusual for desktop printers to have some distortion, but you are reporting the same distortion on two different printers, which is not all that likely.

Printing on HP P1505 not printing correctly yet Explorer 9 works on same web site with same printer.

I have download the latest software for Firefox and the HP P1505 printer, but the pictures within the web site print correctly. The text information is not printing correctly. Lots of spaces and the font is a mess. You can read the text information, but it is all over the page. Firefox did print with no issues before 4.0b12. It always worked with the version 3 of course. I really do not want to go back to 3 as 4 is better except for this issue.

This is a known issue in Firefox 4 beta 12. You could wait til' the RC comes out, or you could grab one of the latest nightly builds availible here that fix this problem: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-central/
Just a note though, nightly versions of firefox are generally less stable than betas or releases. I am waiting for the Release Candidate to come out myself. (Should be early next week)

HP Photosmart premium not printing correct colors or contrast on photo paper.

My HP Photosmart Premium does not print correct colors or contrast level on photographs using photo paper. This happens with using most any application and setting the paper type to one of the photo papers... By using MS PhotoAlbum and selecting the photo tray then forcing "regular paper", I can get a somewhat decent print (this trick only works with MS PhotoAlbum). When I setup to any of the "photo paper" types, I do not get correct colors or contrast levels (even if the print preview looks good).
I have the same issue with 8.5 x 11 inch photopaper. Unless I select "regular paper" as the paper type, I get incorrect color and contrast (even if the preview looks good). The ICC "Color Profiles" look to be OK (at least the titles are correct).
Anyone have any ideas?

Try the troubleshooting steps in this page. My bet would be the Photo cartridge (the black with the bow tie symbol) is out of ink. This is only used when photo paper is selected, for plain paper printing the regular black cartridge is used.

Adobe Acrobat Pro X 10.1.7 (Mac) does not print correctly.

I have a Mac Pro (Model 1.1) with Adobe Acrobat X 10.1.7. When an item is scanned, it appears correctly on the screen, but it does not print correctly. I am sending along screenshots of what a scanned item looks like on the screen and then what prints.

Thanks Michael, have tried that, no luck. I will wait a couple of days to see if any other solutions come up (or if anyone else is suddenly having the same issue) before reinstalling Acrobat.
[OK just tried sending a PDF attachment directly from another program (MYOB) through to Mac Mail and had the same problem so it is not an Acrobat issue afterall, it is a Mac Mail or Mac OS X issue. Will post this on the Apple site.]
I have resolved the MYOB issue, it was working just painfully slow. So I still have the original Acrobat Pro PDF to Mac Mail issue if anyone knows of any solutions please?

Added text & signatures do not print correctly

I am using Acrobat Reader v10.4.4 on my iPad Mini with IOS 6.1.2 and am having issues printing. I can open any PDF and have it displayed correctly. I can add text and signatures and the document is saved correctly because it can be opened after the changes are made and they are still there. When I try to print the document where I have added text and signatures to, the document does not print correctly. All of the text and the signature are shrunk to a very small size and appear in the lower left hand of the page.
I depend on my apps to work they way they should and having this issue makes my work very hard. I have to be very creative and perform unnecessary steps to get my PDF's to print the way they should. Does anyone have some insight in to this bug?

Hi,
Thanks for reporting this issue. We would like to investigate this issue at our end and if you could share one such pdf file in which you are facing the issue at [email protected], that would greatly help us.
Thanks,

Red not printing correctly

Hi,
The printer is aHP Officejet 6700 Premium.
The red color is not printing correctly it is printing as a maroon colour. All other colours seem okay. No error messages are appearing.
I have run the clean printhead pgm and no change.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Couple of things come to mind.
First, obviously, make sure it is a Geniune HP cartridge. I have seen other ink that is a little off in color.
Second, make sure it has nothing to do with the paper you are using. Print a test page (if you haven't already) on normal white paper, not photo paper or something else.
Third, if you have a features tab in the printer preferences, make sure in the color management field, that it is not set on some custom color profile or application controlled setting.
Hope that helps.
