Issues Printing Live Type to Canon iPF8000s

I can not print any live type to our Canon iPF8000s.I am currently using Mountain Lion (10.8.5), InDesign CS 5.5, and Acrobat XI to make pdfs and I can not get any pdfs to print w/o first flattening them. I can't even get the page info to print unless it's outlined. I'm not sure if its bc there is no RIP or if I am having a problem similar to what I have read about on these forums that dates back to 2011 for which Apple issued a fix called SnowLeopard Font Update. But, I can not find any recent posts re: a similar problem happening these days so I was wondering if I could get some input. Shouldn't I at least be able to print the page info w/o RIP software? As far as I can tell, we have the latest driver for this printer. Any light that could be shed on this would be great. Thank you.

If you are using the UFR2 driver, then when using this Market Leader application select to print and from the print dialog, change to the Quality menu. Then select Quality Settings and then change the Graphics Mode settings from UFRII Mode to Raster Mode. OK the change and then see if this prints correctly.

Sudden banding issue with Mac and new Canon printer, already called tech

Good morning fellow Elementites.
I have been using Photoshop Elements 12 on my MacBook Pro 13 inch, running Maverick OS, printing to HP Photosmart Premium all-in one with no banding issues, ever.
I did want to upgrade my printer and monitor so I purchased the Canon Pixma Pro 100 and a new external LG IPS monitor to view the PSE program.
I also purchased ColorMunki Display to calibrate the monitor. Everything is operational with the recommended settings for color etc.
I printed a .tiff image and a .jpg through the PSE print function. The images that looked perfect on the new monitor and Macbook monitor printed with banding. I called Canon tech support. The man had me perform a few tasks to make sure the printer was operating correctly. We printed test sheets from the printer and they were all as they should be.
He the said he NEVER prints from PSE. He edits in PSE but prints using Canon's EZ share or print or whatever it's called, doesn't matter cause I do NOT LIKE IT AT ALL. Not to mention it is just another step in the work flow. Not to mention that I paid good money for a photo editing program of high quality and I want to use ALL the features.
He said the problem isn't the printer but the printing software instructions TO the printer via the Mac OS printer system, or something like this is what he said. He also had me download some other updates and driver files. He then had me remove the printer from my printer list and then add it back.
He then had me print the .jpg image, (it only prints .jpg which is annoying as heck,) and it came out SO BEAUTIFUL I ALMOST CRIED
I want to print this quality THROUGH PSE. Does anyone have a clue as to what to do to resolve the issue? None of the suggestions in other threads from the past seem appropriate enough.
Eager to hear,
Regards.

I have returned home and have copied down all the settings so that I may post them here before I do any more fiddling. Maybe something glaring will be spotted before I start changing things.
I opened an image in PSE 12.
I chose from the PSE menu at the top of the monitor, FILE >PRINT
A window appears with my photo and boxes and such: 1. Select Printer> CANON PRO 100-SERIES (The other printer isn't concern now).
Select Paper Size and Orientation, no problems with this or any of the other settings in this window.
I then select MORE OPTIONS button at bottom of window.
Another window opens.
There are 3 options listed on the left hand side PRINTING CHOICES which it is automatically on, CUSTOM PRINT SIZE which I haven't needed yet, and COLOR MANAGEMENT.
I select COLOR MANAGEMENT.
COLOR HANDLING is set to PRINTER MANAGES COLOR.
IMAGE SPACE is listed, not in any box, as sRGB IEC61966-2.1
PRINTER PROFILE is listed in a box that is grayed out and not selectable, as CANON IJ COLOR PRINTE...
RENDERING INTENT is set in a selectable box as RELATIVE COLORMETRIC.
(There is a little mssg below all this that reminds me to remember to enable color management in the printer preferences dialog. I was never able to find this action and after doing some research I read that this mssg is a boo boo as the function is automatic in MAC running Maverick, supposedly).
I then click OK and the box goes away.
I then click the PAGE SET UP button.
A window titled PRINT opens.
The Printer selection box says CANON PRO=100 series.
The next box always confuses me because nothing in the list appears to pertain to me when I want to print my photos. It is the Presets box.
I believe FAST PRINTING ON PLAIN PAPER is always showing when I open this window. But I don't want that so I always look to see if there is something I should choose that applies. I don't know what they mean by DEFAULT SETTINGS in this case. LAST USED SETTINGS would be ok if that was what I wanted each time I printed. FAST and FINE on Plain Paper? I have been assuming they mean plain copy paper so I don't choose that. SAVE CURRENT SETTINGS AS PRESET, I don't choose that because I haven't been sure of the settings. And the SHOW PRESETS does me no good becuase you can't change anything in there.
PAPER SIZE, not an issue at the moment.
LAYOUT button is my next stop, by now I am exhausted
I look at COLOR MATCHING which shows CANON COLOR MATCHING as the selected method. (The other choice is COLOR SYNC but I don't know anything about that one and haven't been told to change it.)
PAPER HANDLING & COVER PAGE, N/A at this time.
QUALITY & MEDIUM. I choose my paper type, paper source, print quality which for my photos I select HIGH. I don't touch COLOR OPTIONS because that is scary looking. And BORDER and MARGIN I have no issue with.
I then hit SAVE and the window closes.
Then I select PRINT in the lower right of the window that has my photo in it and from which I acessed all these other things.
Phew. So, can anyone tell me if they see anything wrong here, PLEASE.
Regards,
P.

Failed to issue print from win7 laptop to Canon MP230 which is connected to mac mini os x 10.8.3

HI
I have recently bought a Canon MP230 printer and connected to my Mac Mini 10.8.3 usb port.
To setup the printer I downloaded the latest driver from canon web site and install all of them
When I issue print from my mac mini it works fine.
Next step was to issue print from Windows 7 laptop .
To do that I intalled Bonjoure in my Windows 7 latpot and set the printer connected to MAc Mini as default printer.
Upto this point every thing works fine.
When I tried to issue print from my Windows 7 laptop the printer gets activated the power button start blinking . But it just pass a page from
input tray to out tary without printing a single line. I have looked into cups server page at my mac mini. It shows that the job fired from windows
laptop was done.
I treid a lot debug it myself . But no luck yet.
Please help me. I am very upset.
Thanks
Anirban

I just updated to 10.8.3 today, and my computer and Apple TV won't even recognize each other now. I have absolutely no advice, but wanted to throw this in so you (and Apple) know you're not the only one.

Placing Background move issue - Live type

I'm having trouble with placing a background movie in live type. I encoded a 5 second movie in HDV 1080i60... I've set my project properties to HDV1080i60 and when I place the movie in the background it squeezes it to 4:3. Am I missing something? Thanks for any help!
John

Thanks Christina. I've set my project properties to 1080i60 and encoded my video using compressor and using a Quicktime conversion. they both output the correct file. my canvas in LIve Type is set to the 1080i60 but when I place the movie it snaps to what looks like a 4:3 format.
When I check my project props after placement, the size switches to "custom" but still retains the 1440 x 1080 width and height.
Thanks for your quick response to my issue by the way... I 'm still not clear as to what is happening. I was able to use the "place" options instead of "place background movie"....my canvas stayed at the 16:9 ratio but my video was somewhat narrower. I used the transform capabilities (the handles on the placed video) of the video and the canvas as a guide and just sized it to the right ratio.
Hope this isn't too complicated of a reply
and Thank again for the reply

Live Type Background Issue

good afternoon,
I am using Live type to create text and I want to place it and some images over a background.
I have created a file in Live type, selected a background, added a company logo and have been able to view my project with Live type as I want it.
But when I save it and drop it into my bin for Final cut pro, the background does not show up.
Any thoughts on what settings in FCP I need to change, or are there certain export settings in Livetype I need to be more aware of.
thanks
MIke

FYI there are 2 methods of rendering the background in LiveType.
1) Click the Render Background Box in the LT Project Properties
2) When Rendering a QT movie click the Render Background Box
Method 1 is preferable and if you follow that process then even if you're rendering out a movie...the Render Background Box will already be checked for you.

Live type render movie issue

This goes out to you Live type gurus. I have a 6 second animation with video. It renders in the timeline fine but when I "render movie" the finished product only shows about half of the total project. eg it stops half way through the entire clip. I've tried starting from scratch and it still does the same thing. Only half of it gets rendered. I have a full retail copy of Final Cut Studio 7. Thanks and I hope MikeyBouchereau is listening...he answered my last post quite well.

It's actually FInal Cut Studio 3 (Final cut Pro 7), and Livetype is no longer supplied as part of the Studio package. That's what Motion is for now...
In regards to only playing half, check your in and out points.

FCE not seeing new Live Type files correctly... (Leopard issue?)

There appears to be a problem in LiveType and FCE as of Leopard.
LiveType files created BEFORE Leopard was installed import fine, but files created AFTER Leopard was installed will not import and return an error:
File Error. 1 File Recognized. 0 Access Denied. 1 file unknown.
Live Type files that are rendered as movies are importable and that is the workaround. But of course they cannot be edited again unless the Live Type file is reopened and re-rendered.
IOW, no import of a Live Type file directly into FCE.
Pro apps download doesn't appear to apply to FCE and you need a FCP serial # to access it anyway.
All suggestions appreciated.

Never mind. I figured it out.

Issue printing PDF Packages

I'm having issues printing PDF Packages.Clients have contacted us stating that our PDF Packages don't print properly. Essentially they were only able to print the "coversheet" and nothing else. I ran some test scenarios and noted that PDF Packages print feature behaved differently depending on several criterias:
how it was viewed (ie: desktop, Firefox browser, IE browser)
what Adobe Reader Plugin
what command was used to access print feature (ie: file>print, ctrl + P, print icon)
So far I've noticed that Adobe Reader utilizes two versions of the Print Dialog Box. The first one shows four choices for "Print Range" (All, Current View, Current Page, Pages...) seems to always be misconfigured and does not print as intended. The second one I've noticed seems to limit your Print Range choices (All, Current View) which usually works.
This seems to be an Adobe bug. This Print Bug exists on both Acrobat 8 and 9, and the bug may or may not exist depending on how you view the "PDF Package" (ie: Desktop, Firefox, IE).
If you open the PDF Package on your desktop and view via Adobe Reader for the most part it prints as expected for "Print Current Documents" or "Print All Documents". Although the "Print Range" is misaligned (ie: "Print All" behaves as "Current View", "Current View" behaves as "Current Page".
If you open the PDF Package on a browser with an Adobe Reader plugin, a different scenario occurs.
You might experience that you're locked into printing only the "coversheet" of the PDF Package.
And again your "Print Range" might be misaligned.
In Adobe Reader 8, a dropdown appeared when you selected "File>Print" or the "Print Icon". The dropdown then gave you an option to "Print Current Documents" or "Print All Documents". Which basically provided you an option to print the entire "PDF Package" or choose to print only a section of the "PDF Package".
In Adobe Reader 9, the option to choose between "Print Current Documents" or "Print All Documents" was removed.
In fact I started to document the instances to see if its an isolated issue and it looks like it fails to print (as intended) 60% of the time. Of the 40% that does print as intended... it looks like half the time the "Print Range" is misconfigured.
Also, I've noticed that Reader utilizes two different "Print Dialog" boxes.
The testing scenario I set up was that you can print in three different ways:
    1. File>Print
    2. <ctrl + P>
    3. <print icon>
Three ways to view the PDF package:
    1. Download PDF Package & view on your desktop via Adobe Reader
    2. View PDF Package on Firefox w/ Adobe Reader plugin
    3. View PDF Package on Internet Explored w/ Adobe Reader plugin
My computer is using:
XP Pro SP3, Acrobat Reader 9
I've also spot tested on:
XP Pro SP3, Acrobat Reader 8
Vista, Acrobat Reader 8
Any Ideas?

Hi Greg,
Since this is sytem defined settings that you are trying to implement, I presume that the INI changes ought to be done in FSISYS.INI rather than the FSIUSER.INI.
Apart from that most of your INI changes look fine as we are also using pdf as our Output type. Please find the INI change swe have implemented in our system for printing pdf.
Device = ..\Print\Prt.pdf
Bookmark = Yes,Page
Compression = 0
DownLoadFonts = Yes,Enabled
LanguageLevel = Level2
Module = PDFW32
PageNumbers = Yes
PrintFunc = PDFPrint
PrintType = PDF
SendOverlays = No,Enabled
SendColor = Yes,Enabled
PrintViewOnly = No
SplitText = No
SplitPercent = 50
TextCommentOn = FORMSET
Papersize = 0
FontCompression = 1
Hope this is helpful.
Thanks,
Akhil

I can no longer print to the 3 Canon printers on my local area network. The print dialog box states that the print file is accepted and the job is printing, but the files never print. Everything worked when the computer and printers were initially set up.

There may be some security issues related to the USPS PDFs.

I can't help with the scan/print problem. You seem to have done everything I would try.
I don't know if maybe using a registry cleaner would help.

PDF File Size - Live Type with Flattened Images

I am looking for a way to Export my PDF to include live type but flatten all other imagery (like saving as a JPG).
I work on fairly large catalogs - intended for print - that later need to be saved for web. The imagery is just too complex for the PDF to constantly be rendering every image element on every page of my catalog. These catalogs need to include that searchable text data & live links built within InDesign.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am currently on CS5.5, but hoping to upgrade soon. Thank you!

See this post: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/998458 If you want to make the file even smaller, adjust the compression settings to a lower resolution.

Live Type Render Quality

If I create just the text and export .ipr file into FCP I noticed that the letters outline look pixilated, jagged against the still background. If I import that background into Live Type and export into FCP including the background it looks perfect. Very interesting discovery.
Is this normal?

In addition to what Big Daddy Sheffield said, could your issue be related to the fact that LiveType (as well as Motion) produce premultiplied with black alpha channels? That is, upon importing the .ipr file, you're altering the Alpha type - either in the Browser or in the Item Properties dialog - to Black, right?
By default, FCP interprets alpha as Straight and, in the case of premultiplied by black alpha channels, this produces a black fringe around your elements (which can come across as pixelated outlines). If you're the type to use black outlines on your type, this might not matter, but I figure it's worth a mention.
Or is your issue indeed beyond that?

My Live Type Templates seem Corrupted

Many of the objects, effects, etc. look corrupted or simply freeze the program when selected. The corrupted files, instead of showing me a preview of the effect, have a green pixelated square over them, except for at the top its black. Not all of my effects or objects are like this though, only the majority.
Also, when I select some object categories, Live Type Freezes all together and I have to force quit.
I'm thinking I need to reinstall Livetype, but it came pre-installed with my computer and I don't remember seeing the Live Type disc... if there was one, I don't have it.
Is there another way to fix this?

I often see the green preview thumbnail, however, if I play the clip in the Finder it displays normally and the templates work in LiveType.
To your freezing issue, perhaps the description fits [this thread|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1392289&tstart=0] (it's huge, sorry). There are some possible solutions towards the end.
If you purchased Final Cut Studio or Final Cut Express, you should most certainly have the discs for it.

How to add Live Type in the external editor windows?

I was just refreshing myself by one of the FCP dvds from magent media where Even Schechtman show his window of External Editors in System Settings.
I have the latest FCP version but that line which reads "Live Type" in external editor window is missing. Though he didnt discuss anything on the dvd but made me curious of my observation.
How Can I add Live Type message box which can be checked in External editor Window?
Thanks

This is something specific to FCP4.x ... it does not appear in FCP5.x
Final Cut Pro HD: LiveType does not appear in the External Editors tab
Under some circumstances, the External Editors tab (choose Final Cut Pro HD > System Settings) in Final Cut Pro HD does not display a setting for "LiveType Movie Files."
This can happen if you installed Final Cut Pro HD from a new Final Cut Pro HD disc, as opposed to installing it from an upgrade. If you upgraded from Final Cut Pro 4 to Final Cut Pro HD, you will not have this issue. If you upgraded from an earlier version of Final Cut Pro using an upgrade disc, you will not have this issue.
You can still add LiveType files to the timeline even if LiveType does not appear in the External Editors tab. The behavior may be slightly different, depending on whether you add a LiveType project file or a LiveType movie file to the Timeline.
If you add a LiveType project file (for example, MyProject.ipr) to the Timeline and then choose to open it in an External Editor, the file will open automatically in LiveType as a LiveType project.
If you add a rendered LiveType movie file to the Timeline and then choose to open it in an External Editor, the file will open in the Editor you've selected for Video Files (in the External Editors tab) or in QuickTime Player if none is selected.
In summary, "LiveType Movie Files," only appears if you upgrade to Final Cut Pro HD from an earlier version of Final Cut Pro 4. It is not required in the External Editors beacuse a LiveType project file will automatically open in the LiveType application and a movie rendered from LiveType will automatically open in QT Player.

LIVE TYPE to I-Movie without letterboxing

I love the Live type software. However, sometimes when transfering the finished gfx (quicktime) looking file letter boxing appears... other times it doesn't. I am confused on when sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. I actually don't want it on there because the I-movie pieces I make go to our website and the viewing screen is already small enough.
Please help- I'm not too IT or computer literate:((((

Judi Lykowski

Yay! After an hour and a half with Apple tech support I now know what to do... so I thought I'd right this out for anyone else who struggles with the issue.
1. Go into the Livetype you made your GFX on or create a new one...
2. Click on Edit
3. Go down to properties
4. In the width box type in 640
5. In the Height box type in 480
and that will solve the problem!
Tech support said at first the software isn't supported for I-movie, but if you follow these steps it will work fine!
Enjoy!
