Light print quality from PDF documents

Windows Vista Home Premium
Adobe Reader 9.0
After scanning a document to PDF form when I print the document the print quality is very light, not nearly as dark as the origianl document. I have reset the laser printer to "best quality" & "dark" print settings but that improves the print quality only marginally.
How can I scan a document to PDF format then get a printed document nearly as good as the original one?
Thanks

Hi wconner, Welcome to the HP Forums. I see that you're having some printing issues with the quality. Please click on the following link that deals with HP LaserJet Pro M1536dnf, M1537dnf, M1538dnf, and M1539dnf Multifunction Printers - Troubleshooting Print Quality Issues.

How do I do 2 sided printing of a PDF document?

How do I do 2 sided printing with a PDF document?
I am using a HP Photosmart 6520 printer.

If you go into "properties" of the print dialog, do you not see the option to print both sides? If not, have to checked to be sure you have the latest print driver from HP? If you installed the one that came with the printer (probably on a disk with the printer), it's probably not the most recent driver.

Capturing print event from PDF viewer

Hi all,
I am using class CL_GUI_PDFVIEWER to display and print a document using a SAP dynpro screen & a custom container. I am successfully able to do this, but would like to capture the print event from the viewer in some way. I did not see any print events for this class; is there any way to capture the printing of a PDF document from this viewer? Thanks much,
Rebecca Levings

Hi Rebecca,

If I use PRINT Method of this class I am getting a runtime error. Can you please share your print code .. My requirement is to print a PDF File stored in file Client System without manual intervention.
Thanks in advance!

Controlling print quality from the touchscreen on the MG6320

Hello, I have a two-part question. I'm interested in controlling print quality from the touchscreen display.
1. Can I set print quality (i.e. - choose draft/fast mode) from the touchscreen display?
2, if I can and do set it there, will my selection apply to all future print jobs until I change the setting again, or will it just apply to the one print job in the queue at the time, etc?
I hope my questions are clear. Many thanks for your help.
Solved!

Hi Ralp51,
The print quality of documents printed from your computer is controlled be the printer driver on the computer. The quality cannot be adjusted from the PIXMA MG6320 itself.

The photo print quality from my Mac to my Epson Artisan 810 is poor. When I take the same photo files (JPEGs) to my PC to print to the same printer without even uploading them to the PC, they print brighter and crisper from my PC.

The photo print quality from my Mac to my Epson Artisan 810 is poor. I just purchased my iMac for my photography business in Jan. (this is my first Mac). When I first tried printing, I noticed the quality wasn't as good as I expected it to be. Then, I had to print 4-3.5x5s on a sheet, so I e-mailed the image to myself and opened it on my PC to print it (much easier to print that way on PC in Windows Photo Gallery - I think it's impossible to print that way in iPhoto). That's when I first noticed that when I take the same photo files (JPEGs) to my PC to print to the same printer without even uploading them to the PC, they print brighter and crisper from my PC.
I've already been on the phone and e-mail w/Applecare many times over this issue. We've tried creating a test user and printing from there, and we've tried reinstalling the OS. I've tried printing from iPhoto, ImageCapture, and Preview apps/utilities, all w/the same result - no comparison to the PC-printed versions (no enhancements have been performed on the PC).
I'm out of ideas, and so is Applecare. They say it's most likely a driver issue b/c the printer is outdated, and that the only solution is to buy a new printer. BUT it is a pain for me to purchase a new printer - it takes days of research due to the nature of my business and the fact that I need a printer that can print directly onto a disc. I love this printer and don't want to have to buy a new one if I don't have to.

Yes. I've checked for updates, and the driver I installed is the same as the one on Epson's website. I also spoke with Epson Customer Service, which was a dead end. Apple says the problem is due to an Epson driver issue (blaming Epson), but Epson says that with the older printers, it's actually Apple who creates the driver, so the problem is actually with Apple. Typical he-said, she-said...
Maybe not. Probably worth checking here:

Print quality from network printer

poor print quality from HP wireless pc, Windows 7 64-bit, to wired network printer (Epson 500 all in one). Print Quality from desktop pc is great.

Happy Friday eve! It appears you are using a Epson printer This forum is used to troubleshooting HP printers. I would suggest using Epson support center to see if it can help resolve your issue. Welcome to Epson Support Be sure you have full cartridges and you are not using a Draft or low quality print setting.
Good luck!

Printing Multi Page PDF Document exported from iPad

I e-mailed a PDF file from my iPad using the Numbers e-mail feature. I was sending it to my office (PC dominated!) to be entered. When she opened the attachment it looked fine, but, when she went to print it, this 6 page document tried to print on one page. I had page breaks inserted, and it did print on my Mac, but, it didn't print on her PC and it didn't print on my PC Laptop. I couldn't adjust any print parameters to have it print on more than one page, so, as it stands, the iPad is a totally useless tool for me. Anyone have any ideas?

I am having the same problem. I am not able to print my number documents on a PC, my multipage Number documents are shrunk to one page when trying to print as a PDF. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Print quality from Android Adobe Reader

Hello
Last night I decided to print a PDF attachment from my phone using Cloud Print. I have an Epson ink jet printer connected to my Windows 7 computer. When I tried, I was disappointed to find that the document printed in draft mode and was not of sufficient quality to use so ended up printing from the Windows Adobe Reader. If I were to print an email from Gmail on my phone, I do not have this problem. Draft mode is not the default setting for my printer driver. Is there any way to set the print quality for the Android Adobe Reader or for it to use the default setting for the printer?
Thank you.

Why does scale change when placing snapshot from pdf document?

IDCS3: I cut a furniture detail from a pdf document with the "snapshot" tool. I place this image, which includes text, into an InD document. The scale is huge! I do not know how much to reduce to get it to the exact same scale as it was in the pdf. In addition, the quality diminishes when placed in InD. The document size of the pdf document is A4 - that of the InD document is A3. Thanks!

Why not place the original pdf (vector & raster, I assume) and crop to the area you'd like - retaining the vector & raster, rather than use a screen shot (raster).

Photo print quality from the HP EVEN 5532

I have tried a number of times to print off a photo from my Envey 5532 printer, Using 6 x 4 sizes glossy paper. The out come is what I can only call a disaster, what comes out from the printer is a total mess, it looks as if to much ink has been sprayed and the colours have all run into each other

Poor B&W print quality from Photoshop CS4

First a definition:
- Half-tone: this is a gray scale printing process that is required for an printer that can print only Black & White. It allows a B&W printer to be able to appear to have the ability to print grayscale. The higher the printer resolution, the less noticeable the half-tone dots or dithering will be.
The problem with Photoshop CS4 seems to be that, when you use it's print option, it's half-tone is very coarse and does not reflect the resolution capability of the destination printer, in my case, a LaserJet4. If I take the same print and print it from Bridge CS4, the half-tone is correct for the resolution of the printer and the print looks great. Also, from Photoshop CS4, if you do a save-as a .pdf and then print the .pdf, the print looks great, as well.
Keep in mind that the printer driver settings (which there are few) have not been changed during this testing.
My conclusion is that the problem is with Photoshop CS4 print option and I cannot find anyway in Photoshop to change the half-tone settings there. Further, if I use the exact same print with the exact same printer settings, it will print correctly from other graphics programs.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. In my lab, most of the printing is B&W for court exhibits and such.
Thanks, Jonathan

Zeno,
Ok. But the printer works correctly if I do a save-as .pdf and print the
pdf. Or do the same from Bridge. So, how can it be the printer or printer
driver when it works correctly elsewhere in Photoshop and Bridge?

Making a pdf file from pdf documents in preview

Many times I get a .pdf from online & when I open it, there are many pages attached with it & I can scroll through it. Is there a way on the macbook to compile pdf pages and make them into a pdf document like this in preview. I've looked & don't see any way to do this.
Looking forward to hearing from someone soon.
