MX920 prints in italics when it shouldn't

I have a MX920. My computer uses Windows 7. Occassioally, and seemingly at random, a document will print with a complete line in italics, when it is not italicized in the program (Word, for example). Thsi has happened in Word and in pdf files. Even stranger, the italics is just for a complete line; the line before and the line after is normal. And still stranger is that ocassionally it prints with italics slanted to the left (not to the right). Has anyone seen this? I susepct it is a printer issue since it happens in Word and Acrobat Reader.

Hi DestinLeB,
Although the problem seems to occur sporadically, performing a print head alignment on the printer may resolve the issue.  To do this, please follow the steps located at the link below:
PIXMA MX920 series Print Head Algnment
Hope this helps!

  • IPhoto printing a border when it shouldn't

    One specific picture in iPhoto is printing out with a border, no matter what I do. I have the paper size set as custom (7.5x5.5), and I have tried printing with print size set to both borderless and custom (also 7.5x5.5). How do I get it to print edge to edge on my paper? It is not shrinking the design within the border, it is cutting part of it off. I have never had this problem on any of the pictures I have printed before. Thanks

    Unless you crop teh photo sot the same ratios (75x55 for example) then it will not fit the print size and something will be cut out

  • Acrobat 9.4.6 Pro loses italics when printing

    Yesterday (9-15-11) I updated Acrobat 9 Pro to version 9.4.6. (The previous version was probably 9.4.5, but I am not sure.) PDFs generated before and after the update that use purchased fonts (Minion, Avenir) no longer print those fonts in italics. Any italicized passages print as unformatted. Before the update there were no problems with printing in italics. The PDFs display the text correctly on the screen. Only when printing does the text become un-italicized.
    I installed Adobe Reader 10.1.1. Same result as 9.4.6.
    Sending to a different brand printer has the same result.
    No problems printing from the word processor (OpenOffice 3.3.0).
    Printing from the PDF to a new PDF has the same result. Text is correct on screen but not on paper.
    Generating a PDF on this computer and then printing it from a different computer running Reader 10.1.0 has no problems.
    What happened? What can I do to fix it. If there is no fix, is it possible to roll back to the previous version?

    Engravers Gothic Italic + also  Bold no longer prints out
    I use Adobe Pro 9, Word (Office 2003 - SP3) and Windows XP Pro (SP3) and all have been updated in the last 2 weeks. (Updated to Adobe 9.4.6)
    Over the years, will all the same software as above, I have used Engraver’s Gothic BT (True Type) font, and especially the italic and bold version of it, in my Company letterheads and logo.
    Now, when printing out an old .pdf letterhead document, I find that the Engraver’s Gothic Italic Bold font has been substituted by an odd-looking/unrecognisable font that is not in my Windows font directory, and the normal italic (i.e. not bold) has been straightened back upright.
    (It does not look like a different font, but as if the software has straightened out only part of the font, leaving a “bold” shadow italic version in the background).
    The old .pdf letterheads look as they always did on the screen, but when they are printed out, something has substituted the unusual Engraver’s Gothic italic font for the unrecognisable one.
    A new Word document, converted to .pdf, similarly shows my “usual” Engraver’s Gothic Italic style and font and both look entirely “normal” on the screen, but when printed out as a .pdf, the font is again substituted/replaced by the above unrecognisable font.
    (Word still prints out the italic and bold version without problem).
    The normal version of Engravers Gothic is not affected in Adobe – only the italic version is substituted – the normal italic is straightened back up and the bold italic is the odd, shadow version.
    I have an old laptop that has not been updated in the last 2 weeks and that prints out .pdf’s with the italic version without any problem i.e. it seems that a software update in the last 2 weeks has affected this italic font.
    Removing, re-booting, then re-installing the font makes no difference and it is also the same whichever printer I use.
    How do I get Adobe to go back and recognise and print out Engraver’s Gothic Italic Bold, as it has done, with hundreds of documents, over the last years?

  • Unwanted italics when printing

    I'm using CS2 in Leopard on an iMac, and printing with a LaserJet P2015. My document uses Times New Roman regular as body text, but prints as italics. My paragraph styles and character styles are all set to regular. It does it as a indd file and also in Inbooklet SE.
    My Epson C83 did not do this even after I updated to Leopard.
    How do I fix this/work around?

    Enable download PPD fonts in the print options.

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 goes to sleep, but often wakes up when it shouldn't

    HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 goes to sleep, but often wakes up when it shouldn't.  This happens over and over.  It used to sleep until I sent something to be printed. I now shut the printer down, but that takes a long time to start it up.

     When you finally get around to looking at my post, never mind.
    I reset the factory defaults on the printer and reauthorized my WiFi network.
    Now it is working.

  • Printer not present when trying to connect even though drivers have been installed

    printer not present when trying to connect even though drivers have been installed

    Hi Marc,
    If you are having issues with printing from your iMac I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
    Mac 101: Printing (Mac OS X v10.6)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3771
    Specifically -
    Troubleshooting steps you can use if there is an issue
    Ensure the printer is connected, has power, has ink / toner, paper, and no alerts on its built-in display.
    Network based printers should be on the same subnet; you shouldn't have to worry about this if your printer is on your home network.
    Use Software Update for the latest available updates.
    Delete the affected printer from Printer & Fax System Preferences, then re-add the printer.
    If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
    Reset the printing system (see below). Then, add the printer again.
    If the issue persists, reset the printing system again.  Download and install your printer's drivers from here. Then, add the printer again.
    If the issue still persists, contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Brett L

  • I am having trouble printing to an Epson XP600.  It is a new printer and it has been replaced because we thought it was the printer.  Basically, when I print from Excel, only color will print.

    I am having trouble printing to an Epson XP600.  We have replaced the printer and we are still having the same problem.  When I try to print from Excel, only the color prints.  Any suggestions?

    Has anyone else had issues not being able to print black (such as a document)?  My photos print great, but when I try to print a simple black-ink document, it won't work. Any suggestions?

  • How do I print a .pdf, when the program only gives me an option to save?

    I have read all the previous answers to this question. They all suggest to uncheck the print to
    file checkbox in the print dialog box. However, it appears I do not have a 'print to file' checkbox
    in my print dialog box. Any new ideas?

    you should install a PDF printer program and when you install a PDF printer program, it sets up as a printer in your computer's printer folder. (You won't see any application to run).
    All you need to do is print your document as you normally would, and choose the PDF program as the printer you want to use. The file it creates can be named whatever the original document name was named, but it will have .pdf extension instead. Very easy, very helpful.

  • WHEN STARTING A PRINT, THE BOX COMES UP AND STATES THE PRINTER IS OFFLINE WHEN IT OBVIOUSLY IS NOT

    This sounds like Thunderbird did not close properly.
    When you exit Thunderbird, allow the computer a few moments to fully close all processes before shutting down computer.
    Access your Profile folder and delete the parent.lock file.
    make hidden files and folders visible:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
    Locate your Thunderbird Profile folder:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Thunderbird
    If using Windows:
    C:\Users\Windows user name\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\Profile name
    * Find the '''parent.lock''' file in your profile folder.
    * Delete that file.
    * close window - top right X
    * Start Thunderbird.

  • Error message in Adobe Pdf in printer device panel when trying to create a pdf document.  I have CS3

    Error message in Adobe Pdf in printer device panel when trying to create a pdf document.  I have CS3 Web Premium with Acrobat Professional 8.  I use it fine on my old computer with Windows XP.  I recently got a new laptop with Windows 7.  I installed all my Adobe programs, and I think they are working.  When I look at Adobe PDF in the device section of the Control Panel it looks okay.  But when I try to print a Word, Photoshop, or HTML page in PDF, nothing happens.  I have tried printing both as File>print and using the PDF tab on the top menu bar.  I look at the device in the control panel and it has the yellow error warning symbol and suggests trying to troubleshoot.  I look at the document list and it says status "error".  When I try troubleshooting Windows suggests doing some Home Sharing and also suggests canceling the document I'm trying to print.  I tried re-installing just Acrobat 8 from CS3 (and have to use Photoshop CS4 disk for shared documents I guess).  I ran into a can't locate adobepdf_dll file, so did a web search on this issue and found a suggestion that I find and use the adobepdf_dll_64 file and may have to (I did have to) remove the "_64" for it to work.  I think I successfully reinstalled using that dll file- no errors came up anyway.  But still when I try printing/converting a photoshop, webpage, or word document into pdf, the pdf device in control panel still gives the error status on the document and gives the same troubleshooting advice.  Help?

    I just compared the properties between the two computers.  On the old computer it has the port as "My Documents/*.pdf".  On my new computer it lists the port as "LPT1".  I tried changing the port to "Print as File", but when I try printing a photoshop picture as pdf, I get a "Access Denied".  I then tried to create a new port on the device control panel.  I tried to create a local port "My Documents/*.pdf" port but was denied.  I ten tried to create a new port type and control panel asked for an INF file.  I wonder if this is where my problem lies.  Thoughts?

  • Thanks For Your Support in advance i want to know that when I open a website that time view print option and when I click close button then page also new window page also close. I want to copy it how i can stop this print option?

    WHEN I OPEN A URL THAT TIME WITH PAGE OPEN SHOWS PRINT OPTION AND WHEN I CLICK CLOSE BUTTON OF PRINT OPTION THAT TIME NEW WINDOW BUTTON IS CLOSED. I WANT TO CLOSE ONLY PRINT OPTION. PLEASE HELP ME...............THANKS

    Many sites which offer specific "print formatted" pages do that: they assume that once you have finished with the print dialog you no longer want the page itself. So for your convenience they close it. Not so convenient for you, since you still want to view the page.
    I'm not aware of an easy solution for this. I can think of a couple different approaches.
    First, maybe there's an add-on to solve this? That would be easiest.
    Second, maybe there's a userscript to solve this?
    The Greasemonkey add-on runs userscripts which you can copy or download. Be careful to install only long-establish and trusted scripts. (''Is there a site that has this bad behavior that I can view without logging in? I will test one of my existing scripts to see whether it helps.'')
    Third, Firefox has an old system for restricting site permissions in a custom text file in your profile folder (named user.js). Editing this file is a bit advanced, and I haven't been able to test it, but the system works along these lines:
    <br>// Define a policy name for window.close permission
    // (assumes you don't have this pref already)
    user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "nowindowclose");
    // Define policy: disable sites from using window.close
    // in their scripts
    user_pref("capability.policy.nowindowclose.Window.close", "noAccess");
    // List of sites subject to this policy
    user_pref("capability.policy.nowindowclose.sites", "firstbadsite.com secondbadsite.com");
    Again, I haven't tested that and recommend looking into add-ons first.

  • HP Photosmart all in one C309a printing multiple copies when its set to print only one copy.

    having issues with my C309a its now printing multiple copys when its set to print only one copy.it started doing this 4 days ago and its happening on both my Windows 7 64 bit computer and my Vista 32 computer that both have the latest release drivers already installed need help.HP please sort this issue out.still under warranty do i have to return it? 

    I am using a Motorola SBG900 Wirless Surfboard Gateway - supplied with Bigpond Cable. It is set to be using WPA security and have never had a problem with it before whilst connecting any wireless devices such as a laptop, PDA etc.
    My feeling is that the wireless functionality of this printer needs some serious work before the next release. And furthermore they should never have released it the way it is as it wouldn't pass 5% of user acceptance tests if using wireless. There are too many complaints on this forum and others about similar problems to suggest that I am not by myself here. Dissapointing considering this is the feature that would be at the top of the list of most purchasing this model. It lets down what could of been a vg printer.
    I agree, I think if I want to get this printer working on a wirless network, I will have to set the IP address manually. The problem is the printer refuses to connect to the router now even after it connected a few days ago with no intervention. I have powered down both the router, PC, and printer without any luck yet. I will set the IP address manually first on the printer and see how it goes, then if it connects will see if the PC/router can see the printer during the SW install procedure which has failed >10 times to date.
    For now I think I will stick with Ethernet as it is no doubt much faster anyway and will try the wirless setup again in a few days when my patience grows back. Does anyone know differences in speed between USB/Wireless/Ethernet? I know this is dependant on a number of things but just interested in ball park figures here.

  • HP Laserjet CP1025nw Color Printer - printer prints two copies when only one is requested.

    pcwizard (HP) requested that I try Foxit Reader 5.1 to see if the printer will print properly.  I used the same previous document and printed it with Foxit Reader 5.1.  The printer printed two copies when only one was requested as it had done in the past.  We still have a problem.
    I am using Windows 7 (64 bit) for OS.  I have experience the issue on two different computers.
