Layout orientation problem when printing 2-sided InDesign booklet from pdf file

I created a booklet (layout, letter-half) and it prints correctly directly from the .indd file. When I convert it to a pdf and print from that file, the back-sided pages get reversed and print up-side down. In other words, pages 1 & 8 are fine, but back-sided pages 2 & 7 print in reversed order and upside-down. (The pdf file itself looks fine). I have tried to trouble-shoot everywhich way--from conversion level to printer level--but I can't get this to work. Any help? Tips? Thanks.

Hi Doreen,
At 250 copies it may well be less expensive in consumables and time to have a quick print place to print this. Around here I would use my local FedEx Office. But I would also contact the offset/digital printer establishment I have used for years. A lot of the time they can match or beat the price and they do a better job.
Take care, Mike

Printing problem when printing a vector based program generated pdf file

Hi,
I bought a software which comes with a camera auto-focus calibration chart. The manufacturer mentioned that this chart is generated by a vector base program so customers can ajust the size of chart without any problem. The chart file is in pdf format.
When I use my Photoshop CS5 (on Windows 7) to print it from my Epson 2200 inkject printer, it only print the vector part without filling up the inside of the vectors enclosed area to black. Even the words in the footer are printed the vectors only (without fillup the word with black).
I'd appreciate if anyone can help pointing out what's the cause.
Thanks,
Eric

I have tried to print with pdf app as well. Same result.
I found the solution yesterday while searching on line. Ended up it's the Epson 2200 driver bug. I was using Matte Black and the driver thought it is not compatible with Epson Premium Matte paper, so it did not print with that black ink. Change back to Photo Black ink solved it.
So case resolved. Thanks
Eric

Laserjet 5200dtn won't print inside page of booklet from PDF, Yosemite

I'm a composer, and have had a Laserjet 5200dtn for years. Usually to print, I save the file from the Music Notation software (Sibelius) to pdf. From the pdf file, I choose create booklet, and then print from there.
Lately, when I print the file, all of the pages of the booklet will print, except the innermost two. I have tried several files to check, and the problem is consistent.
I have tried checking for driver updates, etc. I am on Yosemite 10.10.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am not a wiz with computers, and it is frustrating because this printer has worked beautifully for years.

Lg28,
I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/ .

Color management problem when printing

(sorry for the double post, since the problem affect both illustrator and photoshop and in fact also indesign) in decided to repost it here in the photoshop forum. thank you for any help!)
hi ! im in charge of a big print lab in a university. All macpro quad running on 10.6.4, CS5 all updated.
i have a major problem when printing from all 3 CS5 apps : Illustrator (being the worst), photoshop and indesign : each one produces a different print even if i use the SAME color management options (the application manage color using my own color profile file created with a i-one tool from greta macbeath and using eye-one match 3). im printing on a XEROX 7750gx laser printer. very cool printer never had trouble with colors before with it, in any case it was always the software part that was causing color problems (like i suspect in this case).
how can 3 softwares under the same application collection and brand, using the same color profile and options (IDENTICAL ! it's triple check all the options!) can produce 3 different prints when printing the same image (it's a color psd created under photoshop CS5) ?!
i remember having some trouble like this when we first got CS1 in our lab, but not this bad... i've checked everything... i realy don't know how to fix this problem...
the best setting so far is in Photoshop when the application manage the color and using my color profile file in perceptual mode. best output so far, not the best i had in the past, CS4 was way more perfect with color management.
i realy need to find a solition 'cause the students expect the color to be almost perfect (and they almost were using CS4 in the past...
thanx for any tips & help !
+

many thanx for your reply & help.
i've just recalibrated everything in my workflow : my screen (perfect!), my xerox 7750 color laser printer. i've recreated a new color profile file for the xerox color. and the same thing is happening : a kind of pink color all over my prints and every adobe's applications is printing different results. in photoshop i can manage the problem when forcing to print in perceptual mode. not perfect but it's fine. and with the other software specialy like ACROBAT and INDESIGN there's no option like this so it prints very badly. only option is to print in adobe 1998 rgb or SWOP cmyk (depending of the color space of the image of course)... the image is use for my test is RGB. images in CMYK are doing the same exact thing.
by the way for calibration is use an x-rite (greta macbeth) eye-one tool with eye-one match 3.6.3. i calibrate the screens and create color profile with this tool since ADOBE CS1 and never had this much trouble with colors...
here's a capture from photostop CS5 print dialog. when using the option "match print colors" you can see the image with all the PINK NOISE when using the print in RELATIVE colormetric mode (at the bottom right). using perceptual is "fine" (not color perfect but OK).
http://i53.tinypic.com/qzge12.jpg
it's worst in Acrobat and Indesign since i can't use perceptual colormetric print mode...
im realy starting to think that i better uninstal CS5 and go back to CS4...
thanx for your help !

Hi there blbarbina,
Could you provide the community with a little more information to help narrow troubleshooting? Does this happen in only one application, if so what application? Is this a booklet style document?

Problem when printing " " using XSL

I have a problem when printing the "<" .It is always printed as
"<" in the HTML file.
I wish to transfer a Javascript text . I tried
using CDATA . This is an extract of a portion in my XSL File
which uses CDATA.
<![CDATA[
function createLOV(lov_name, array_touse) {
document.writeln("<select name='" + lov_name + "'>");
for (var i=0; i < array_touse.length; i++) {
document.writeln("<option value='" + array_touse[i] + "'>" +
array_touse[i] + "</option>");
}]]>
And this is what the HTML file contains
function createLOV(lov_name, array_touse) {
document.writeln("<select name='" + lov_name + "'>");
for (var i=0; i < array_touse.length; i++) {
document.writeln("<option value='" + array_touse[i] + "'>" +
array_touse[i] + "</option>"); }
document.writeln("</select>");}
I tried using the <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"> but in
vain.
If i use < or &x3C; , i still get < in the HTML file.
How do I solve this problem. I'm using XSQL Servlet with JSDK2.1
both running on Sun Solaris2.6 .
Thanks in advance,
Suresh

Currently, the parser does not support the xsl:output and
output-escaping mechanisms. We plan on adding support for this
in a future release.

Problems when printing help topics from OHJ

We have encountered some persistent problems when printing help topics from Oracle Help for Java (Ice Browser).
NOTE: When we print the same source files from Oracle Help for the Web, the printing problems are gone.
(1) Spacing Errors (all printers had identical results)
Text with special formatting (<b>, <i>) often has either too much space or not enough space.
Links often have extra spaces underlined before or after the link, itself.
(2) When printing multiple help topics from the TOC (an entire branch in the tree):
On some printers, no graphics print correctly, but instead print as one of the following: 1. empty box the size of one character, 2. black box the size of one character, 3. black box the size of the original graphic. We could not detect a pattern that caused 1, 2, or 3.
NOTE: all graphics are bit maps (screen captures) that were generated in the same manner.
NOTE: if these same help topics are printed one at a time form Oracle Help for Java, the graphics print fine.
Is this a problem with the Ice Browser?
Thanks for the help,
Wendy Studinski

There are a known issue with the ICEBrowser printing in some circumstances. The laying out of text by the ICE Browser relies on font metrics (being able to measure the width of a run of text in a given font). On screen it looks great, but when printing, even though the GraphicsConfiguration for the printer is being used, these widths are sometimes off, which can result in text running together at boundaries between text styles. We're not sure what to do about this problem, and we've reported it to IceSoft.
Not every font has this problem, so varying the font you are using might help the appearance when printed.
The other problem you report, problems with the images when printing multiple topics, is something that we will look into.

"Problem When Printing" error on Mac Mini

Hi all,
I just recently updated my Mac Mini from 10.3 to 10.4. Instead of Archive and Install I formatted and did a clean install.
I have my printer set up, however whenever I try and print anything from any application I get a very unhelpful "Problem when printing" error, and nothing prints.
I also get the same error when trying to save to PDF.
My printer is a HP Deskjet 3750, and the driver is the one included with 10.4 (as per HP's instruction), but I don't think it's a driver problem as Save to PDF gives me the same error.
I've already tried repairing permissions. Anyone know what could be causing this. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Bugger. PSR is often a winner
You could try installing Gutenprint 5.0.1 available from Sourceforge (it's about 15MB). It's an updated version of the included GIMP-Print drivers and may repair/replace/install some of the core files. Otherwise you may have to contact Apple and see if you can get 10.4.9 mailed to you.

When printing two-sided from my Mac on landscape A4 with 2 columns, how can I get my HP Photosmart 6520 to print the same way up?

When printing two-sided from my Mac on landscape A4 with 2 columns, how can I get my HP Photosmart 6520 to print the same way up?

Or, it is set the other way around (which makes more sense). Even though you are in Landscape mode, it is binding on the Long Side of the paper. Since you are in Landscape, you would want it to bind on the short side.
Think of the Binding like a Book. How would you flip the finished pages to read the “book.” Where it would be bound in the imaginary book is how you want it to print.

Performance problem when printing - table TSPEVJOB big size

Hi,
in a SAP ERP system there is performance problem when printing because table TSPEVJOB has many millions of entries.
This table has reached a considerable size (about 90 Gb); db size is 200 Gb.
Standard reports have been scheduled correctly and kernel of SAP ERP system is updated.
I've tried to scheduled report RSPO1041 (instead of RSPO0041) to reduce entries but it is not possible run it during normal operations because it locks the printing system.
Do you know why this table has increased ?
Are there any reports to clean this table or other methods ?
Thanks.
Maurizio Manera

Problem when printing booklets prints pages 1,2 and 11 as if I wants to print all

I am using XP and 2000 MS word
I am having a problem when printing booklets from time to time. I get it ready to print in booklet form with 12 pages and my printer gives me the options. “Print all” “current page” “selection” or “pages” Because it is booklet I want to print the first 4 pages to be folded and glued as a small book. When I inter 1-4 as the example shows some times it prints OK but about a week later it prints pages 1,2 and 11 as if it wants to print all. I thought it was the printer but think it could be in some setting of the word program or my computer it self.

Also does this (i.e. prints web pages over several pages despite changing settings) on my laptop at work with an HP printer. This started when I upgraded to Firefox 9.0.1.

Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File Save.

I am using Mountain Lion (10.8.2) and I was using Adobe Reader version 9. In the past, I've always been able to print to file using the File -> Print dialogue but all of a sudden it stopped working. I read somewhere that installing the latest version of Adobe Reader (version 11) would remove the old printer, so I did so. It took me about an hour on version 11 to even find the pdf print to file option, but I am getting the same message. For what it's worth, when I try print to file from Microsoft Word, I have no problem. I have no idea why things changed all of a sudden, but does anyone have any idea how I can get this working again?

I checked with Adobe. No luck.
Allow me to clarify my problem:
I have Adobe Reader XI. I also use a Mac--imac and a MacBook Pro. My adobe was updated on 12/24. Prior to that point, I could open my print dialogue box and there was a PDF tab on the bottom left. In the drop down menu there were many choices, including but not limited to Open in PDF Preview, Print PDF, Save PDF, email PDF. If I selected one page of 30 pages from a document saved in Adobe, I could extract just that one page and save it or email it, without having to send the entire document. After the update, when I open a PDF file using ADOBE READER XI, and then open the print dialogue box, and follow those same steps, I get the message "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save." My question is why is this feature now unavailable and is there a way to fix it?
The answer I got from Adobe was that Adobe never had this function, so it must have been via my print or preview programs..which are apple. Does anyone have any thoughts?
Thank you.
