More printer issues

I have a cable modem, new AExtreme, one g5 imac wired to router, and several laptops(PC and Mac) connecting wirelessly. I have added a HP 4050 laserjet (via ethernet, RJ45 cable). I have tried ever friggin setting, config i can think of, and I cannot get any computer to print.
Any ideas??
Thank you

hello JtHNOW,
I think that you have the HP 4050N (which has a built in network connection). I have a few questions that may help lead to an answer. Can you print a test page to indicate that the printer is getting an IP address? Additionally, does your printer have a USB port, and if so have you tried connecting via bonjour. If you need to print via ethernet, in the airport's network preferences, do you have Appletalk enabled (you may also need to enable this in directly access utility in the utilities folder in the applications folder)? Additionally, you may want to try using one of the gimp Drivers to print to the printer? This knowledge base article may also help you. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106714.

Printing issue for documents more than 10 pages.

My boss is having a printing issue with larger documents. They start printing correctly, but then sometimes the font will change to something I don't recognize and can not read. The computer is running Windows XP Professional. She was using Adobe Reader 8 something, so I uninstalled it and downloaded Adobe Reader X. This did not cure the problem. I next tried uninstalling and reinstalling her printer and that did not fix the problem. The printer was an HP laserjet 1320. I replaced this printer with an OKI B411d. This helped the problem, but did not cure it. I've attached an example of the script. Please does anyone have any idea how to fix this problem?

HI,
its in the same screen where you'he changed the number of pages. In this screen there are 3 sub-screens:
1: Display mode
2: Display area
3: Save settings, here tick the option you need.
best regards, Christian

HP ENVY 100 D410 Printing issues...

I have an HP ENVY 100 that has recently started having printing issues. We recently upgraded to Mountain Lion and had no problems in the upgrade nor have we had any other software that we've changed. The problem seems to be somewhat random and the results are always the same. When commanded to print the printer acts as if it is running out of ink and then distorts the fonts creating vertical lines on the page and skipping rows creating what almost looks like a bar code. It's most peculiar and the only way I can find to solve the issue is to completely restart both my system and the printer. Thinking that I had a driver issue on my Mac I used the utility on the printer to update drivers and none were found. To insure that the problems wasn't isolated to just my machine I tried our laptop as well and it seems to have the same problem. Has anyone had a similar problem?

Hi Talon,
That more liekly related to the software indeed, I would suggest trying the following steps:
Reset the printing system as listed below:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c01371980
Open the Applications folder, then Hewlett-Packard and then open the Device Utilities folder, launch the HP Setup Asisistant and follow the steps to reconfigure the device.
If there is no Hewlett-Packard folder simply re-add the printer by clicking the plus button under Print & Scan.
Now try printing and follow for any difference.
If the same persists uninstall any HP Software by following the HP Uninstaller under the Hewlett-Packard folder.
If there is no Hewlett-Packard folder follow the steps listed under Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8 > I used Apple Software Updates to install the product software below:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02440673&tmp_task=useCatego ry&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&lc=en&product=5157536#N1305
Download and isntall the latest Lion Software below:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-97934-2 &cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=219&product=4073738&sw_lang=
Once completing the installation click the Apple icon and install any available Software Update.

Need help diagnosing cause of printing issue w/ image distortion

Hello, I'm looking for some expert advice for my print issue with image distortion (see above) on my files once setup and proofed by my printer.
I have a large PSD background file out of photoshop (CMYK, 170mb psd) that is being placed into an InDesign document. No preflight errors, all correct SWOP cmyk settings, and I keep having issues where images distort on my printers proofs - they seem unable to explain the issue and can't offer any other suggestions beyond ("just try resaving/uploading again" which of course has an added fee with each upload...).
The files are all fine on our end: on-screen, on our cmyk proofs, and our saved PDFs/packaged files. But everytime our printer opens these they seem to have these distorted image problems - scrambled images (almost as if there was a ghosted transparent image in the distorted area), strange lines (see above, and color distortion (usually greens and pinks, see above).
Is this an issue with my settings/file formats? Maybe the issue lies on our printers end? I'll keep checking this throughout the day and provide quick answers to anyone who can help me get to the bottom of this.
Adobe forums have been a huge help in years past so I decided this was by best bet for a resolution from those who know more than myself (or my printer), thanks for taking the time to help!

HP Printer issue after installing Mountain Lion

Hi, a few days ago I posted the following question regarding a printer issue and so far I have not been able to fix the problem. Here's the original question and I will continue the explanation after this....
Hi, I am a fairly new iMac owner and I am really happy with my apple, however I have an issue with my printer and I kind a "blame" Montain Lion for it. I have been using this HP Laserjet P2015 dn printer for a long time, initially with Windows and now with iMac. The first year approximately there was no problem at all to print and the transition from Windows to Mac with the printer had no difficulties at all. It was connected wirelessly via router. After downloading Montain Lion I notice the printer intermittently lost connectivity. The only way to print was turn off and turn on and it will print fine until the next time. Now out of the blue it's doing the same thing so frequently I can't print a complete document at all. It starts, and finish without printing the entire document or not connect at all. I have tried everything, including a static IP address for the printer, connect the printer to the computer via USB, downloading all the printer updates from HP and nothing seems to work. Just now, I did it again (for 100 times so far), delete the printer, reinstall and it's doing the same thing. It connects fine (either via IP or USB) and it last connected only for a minute or two. That's it. It's a shame, because I like the printer. The printing quality is great and to add more pain, I recently got a new ink cartridge ($100.00) capable of printing 3000 pages. It has 70% of ink still. Any computer sabby person out there has any ideas for me? Like I said, I've done everything.... inluding,
1. Remove the printer
2. Update the drivers
3. Assign a static IP address to the printer
4. Connect via USB
5. Disconnect the printer for a while and restart the whole process again
6. Did a "cold start" to the printer
I don't know what to do, and I don't want to spend more $$$$$ on a new printer. Is Montain Lion to be blame for? Please advise me.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
At this point I do have the printer connected only via USB, prints one page (perfectly) and then goes offline. Before installing Mountain Lion I did use the printer with my Mac for almost a year with no issues at all. I even downloaded Mountain Lion again thinking of any flaws during initial installation. I've done all the updates, drivers, uninstall, re install, repair disk permission, static ip address....you name it... I've done it all and nothing seems to work. What makes no sense to me is that prints so great only one page and then is gone.... I would be happy to know the printer is dead and go get a new one but in my mind if it prints ok one page it still works. I don't want to have a new printer and find out it does the same thing. I can't keep myself away from blaming Mountain Lion. IS THERE ANY WAY TO REMOVE MOUNTAIN LION WITHOUT THE RISK OF DAMAGING THE COMPUTER???? PERHAPS GOING BACK WILL PROVE ME MOUNTAIN LION IS THE CULPRIT. Just saying... I am totally frustrated. I guess the next step is to get a baseball bat and fix the printer once and for all.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Any fix for this? I have the same problem after upgrade. It's off by many seconds. Thank you.

HP OfficeJet 2544 Windows 8.1 Printing Issue

Hi there,
I am having a frustrating problem with my HP OfficeJet 2544. It happens all the time if I want to print anything more than one or two pages, and it only happens to me on my Desktop PC (i.e. my wife's laptop doesn't experience the issue).
What is happening is this: I send a document (multiple pages) to the printer, and then after the first page or so, I get a Windows 8 error message popping up saying the document couldn't print. The printer then spits out whichever page it is currently printing, usually half printed. If I want to print a multi page document, I have to print it one page at a time. I can't even send it to the printer in groups of 2 or 3 pages!
The printer is connected wirelessly, but I don't think it is a wireless issue. We have good strong signal in our house, and in any case, if it was a wireless connection issue my wife would have the same issue, which she does not.
I thought there was some bug in my Windows 8.1 installation, so I did a clean reinstall. This did not fix the issue. I have also tried reinstalling the drivers (did not work either) and clearing out the Print Spooler folder (again, no luck).
The only thing I can think of is that a while back the HP Update program said there was a Firmware update for the printer, which I installed. But if this was the problem, I imagine it would be affecting my wife's Laptop too?
I am getting fed up with the issue, and as I am doing a part-time degree I have to print multi-page documents from time to time! Does anyone have any ideas?

Hello @SamuelH82
I have some ideas that come to mind when I read through your post about the printing issues you have solely from your computer, as the other computer works find with the printer.
The printer hardware proves to test out alright, as the other computer does function fine with it.
I would suggest first 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. This alone could help fix the problem.
Also, try printing from other programs. Do they all appear to have the same problem?
Disable any firewalls and anti-virus' temporarily. Try printing again to see if that helped.
How far is the printer from your computer, and what are in between them that could cause interference? Having the computer and printer too close could cause disconnections.
Let me know the results thus far and your findings.
Enjoy the rest of your day

How are printer issues solved by creating a new login ID in ts?

I have been having printing issues with one user on a terminal Server. I have been trying to figure this out for some time and decided to make a new TS login ID which fixed the issue....At lest appears to have fixed the issue....
Can anyone explain to me how a user's key can leak and cause this types of issues? Or point me to a great article to educate myself...

Hi Andrew,

I have been having printing issues with one user on a terminal Server.
Would you please let me know more details of this printing issue? Did you get any error message? Please also
check Event Viewer if can find some relevant events. When this one user has this printing issue, did other users encounter the same issue?
Meanwhile, would you please let me know how deploy printer for the terminal server? Did you configure printer
redirection settings for terminal server connections via Group Policy?

Printing issues with Ps, Id, Ai

Cannot get the printer to function correctly! It prints fine in Word and Adobe Acrobat Professional...when I try to print from Id and Ai it shuts down before seeing a print dialog box. When I print from Ps it prints a weird code straight across the top of the page...which it wants to print many times until I have to restart the printer.

I think the latter part above is where the real issue starts, but if you need more let me know...it means nothing to me, I don't understand what is going wrong each time I try to print from these applications.

Question re: HP printer issue

I've posted recently re: my HP LaserJet 1320 not working with my new iMac.
I had a thought. Without thinking or doing much research first, I simply installed the drivers etc. from the HP disc that came with the printer. The more I read on here, I tend to think that this wasn't necessary as apparently the driver is included in the OS.
Would a clean re-install of the OS help? Is it worth a try? Is it difficult to do, for someone who is new to Mac and has never had to install an OS of any kind?
Has anyone with similar printer issues tried this approach? I appreciate your input.
Thanks!
iMac Intel Mac OS X (10.4.5) 17", 1.83, 160, 1gig

According to Apple yours is included during the install.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303057#hpdrivers
I've reinstalled Windows hundreds of times, and OSX dozens, so I'm probably not a good reference on this! But, OSX is a piece of cake! Slide the disk in, select install and follow the prompts. Be sure to back up all data that you want to keep!
I strongly suggest in an external Firewire drive the same size as your system drive for backups. This way you can always have a bootable backup of your entire system. -This is a whole new topic- Search "backup" here & you will find lots of good advice from the pros.
Now, can you rescue your system as is? I'm not sure - I would give it my best. But if you have nothing to loose, the reinstall only takes about an hour or so - plus time to install & update any applications that you have.
Have fun!

Printing Issues in CS6

When I try to print from CS6 on a MacBook Pro running Yosemite 10.10.2, the Print function is grayed out and not live. I cannot print from CS6. Any thoughts on how to make the print function active?

Is your Photoshop updated to Photoshop CS6 13.0.6?
Have you tried trashing prefs:
To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (Bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
Important: If you re-create the preferences by deleting the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
NEW Video! Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here.
Mac OS
Important: Apple made the user library folder hidden by default with the release of Mac OS X 10.7. If you require access to files in the hidden library folder to perform Adobe-related troubleshooting, see How to access hidden user library files.
Can you print from any other application?
Do you get an error message? What does it say exactly?

the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.

Address printing issue in SAPSCRIPT

Hi All,
I am getting address printing issue in address in sapscript .
Here is my address format in the script.
/: ADDRESS DELIVERY PARAGRAPH ZA LINES 10
/:    TITLE                &KNA1-ANRED&
/:    NAME               &KNA1-NAME1&, &KNA1-NAME2&, &KNA1-NAME3&, &KNA1-NAME4&

/: FROMCOUNTRY &T001-LAND1&
/: ENDADDRESS
Here in the above code I had added LOCATION and modified the STREET field value.
Moved the changes to QAS server along with the driver program., confirmed all the related transports are moved.
While testing in QAS , i noticed that after LOCATION print I am getting blank space and then the remaining fields are printed.
For example:
     casa velas boutique hotel
     Attn: Marie John
     AV. cocoterosss
    63550 Nuevo Vallarta, Nayarit,
    MEXICO.
In the above example the third line the LOCATION data.
The surprise here is that I am not getting blank space in DEV , I had checked all the transports, and all are ok.
Please advice me where I am wrong, ie why i am getting blank space in QAS whereas it not showing in DEV.
Thanks in advance.
Vengal Rao.

Hi Jay,
I fully agree with you that the address printed will be as per SAP standards.
Currently I am looking into the country configuration in DEV - I hope may be the reason,
I have to use the existing ADDRESS....ENDADDRESS format as our client is using 4.6 version, he just print the financial reports using the common script.
So anything away from the orginal one may lead to more trouble in other reports.
Once I get a reason behind the issue, I shall definetly post them.
Thanks,
Vengal Rao.

Barbara Brundage, can you help with PS Elements 11 and Epson R2000 printer issue?

Seeking help with PS Elements 11 which does not work with Epson r2000 printer. Epson tech support could not fix, said it is PS e11 problem. Receive prompt on PS e11 screen when I try to print stating "not compatible or settings are not correct. Have set PS to manage color and printer manages color to off. Would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.

Hi,
Sincerely appreciate your help. Running Windows 7 on a Dell XPS420. System has been very stable for years. Before purchasing the Epson r2000, I owned an r1800 which was an excellent printer but after seven years started to exhibit paper feed problems. The r1800 worked with all applications and I was well satisfied with the saturation, contrast, etc. printing mostly 8x10 and 11x17 prints.
Thank you for the information about the # of installs for PS E11, will try uninstall/reinstall this morning.
Will let you know how things go.

Adobe Reader X printing issue

Hi there,
since we implemented Adobe Reader X in our testing invironment, we habe a printing issue with some of our printers.
In our main network we use Adobe Reader 9.3.4 and with that version therer are no problems with any printer.
Even if a document was printed by a user as more than 1 example, on some printers Adobe Reader prepares the document the many times the user wants to print it. E.g. the user wants to print it out 5 times, Adobe Reader prepares it 5 times for the printer, then it would be printed out.
This is a major problem if a user wants to print out documents with more than 20 pages more than 50 times...
This problem first appear with Version X of Adobe Reader and I didn't find anything about that.
Can anybody help us with that. If more information is regarded, I would to my best to publish...
Regards

Illustrator fill effects and printing issue

We just got a new canon imagepress C1+ printer and it's amazing so far. However when we try to print AI files with complex fill effects it never works. It just prints a blank page... As soon as we remove the fill effects and put something more simple in it prints it fine. We need the fill effects though.
We can't bypass it by rastering it because then it leaves these weird lines on the page. If we save to pdf it takes too long because we make changes all day on the files.
Has anyone ever seen anything like this or how to reduce the size when putting in complex fill effects? I'm not even sure it's the size issue because I printed off a simple fill effect design that was 300mb and it went fine.
Thanks for your help!

Thanks for all the responses. Well it is a one layer AI file. It does print when rastered but it leaves weird lines on the page. There is no transparency on it so that wouldn't work.
It does use a RIP when processing it to print. However on the server when spooling then printing the ram on the fiery controller shows it barely using it. So not sure if that would be the problem? It very well could be a driver problem because it prints fine to all other printers beside this new one. However Ive tried multiple drivers and still nothing. I wonder if this would more than likely be a printer issue as opposed to a illustrator issue?
