No black print when printing ...?

When printing, black text is not or very vaguely appearing (ink cartridge replaced already) + in middle of the page some letters are having stripes through them? Several clean up processes done already. How can I solve this?

Please read this post then provide some details. What printer model? What operating system?  Is the black cartridge an HP or a reman/refill?

  • Change output printer when printing a production order

    I can see that there is a specific printer associated with the output of a production order.  Is there a way to change the destination (a different printer) when printing a single production order?
    Right now I can see where the printer destination is shown in CO02, but I do not know how to change it. The screen is display only. The menu path is Order->Settings->Print info.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Janet,
    Try this.
    Path: CO02 -> Enter PO-> Settings -> List Control -> Here you can change the printer -> Click on continue button.

  • Printing when printer off

    Might be a stupid question but if i send email to print when printer is off does it print when printer is switched back on, or does it have to be on to work which kinda defeats the point of calling it remote printing 
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi,
    Print jobs sent to the printer once it turned off will not be printed of course, however the print job will remain on the server up to 24 hours. the job will be printed one the printer turned on and connected to the network during that timeframe:

  • Garbage text prints when printing documents from InDesign

    I am encountering an odd error when printing from InDesign 4.0.4 (CS2) to some HP printers (HP 4650 and 2430n). Some documents print just fine with no problems. But a couple of documents will either never print, or when they do print, they print a line or few of garbage text (black diamonds, smiley faces, etc.) per page, plus some blank pages, and it will run through tons of paper when it does this.
    I've found the following document which describes my problem pretty closely.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/genericDocument? docname=c00028613&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=regR1002USEN
    The problem is that I have set the Graphics to print as ASCII, and this problem still occurs. Could it be a problem with a particular EPS file printing or something? This document (with all of the included text, EPS images, etc) become fairly sizeable, such as 150 MB in size. The HP 4650 has 512 MB of memory, whereas the HP 2430 has 64 MB of memory.
    I printed this same problem document from another computer, with all of the same settings in InDesign, and it printed with no problems.
    Any idea on what is going on here?

    Hello Chad,
    Do you know if the two printers support PostScript? It sounds like they don't and therefore they will be using filters to convert the PS data from InDesign into a format that it understood by the printer. It will be in this conversion process that something will be going astray and that will cause the corrupted output. Try running a Repair Disk Permissions to see if this helps.
    I don't believe the amount of RAM will cause the problem, it should only impact the speed at which the document can be spooled from the Mac. However, if the error is only occuring from InDesign and when working with large files, then it may have something to do with it. But if the other PC is okay then it may rule out the RAM. What print language is the other PC using to print to the HP's?
    Regards,
    Paul

  • Always duplex printing when printing through cups server

    I have about 6 printers which people normally accesses through a cups server running on a Linux box.
    We have always printed through the cups server from the Macs we have - and this has always worked great (they get auto-detected as shared printers and so on).
    But a few months ago something changed on the Macs - they can now ONLY print duplex - nomatter what i tell them to do in the print dialog. When printing first to a postscript file and then sending the postscript file to the printer (via terminal/lpr) everything gets printing correctly - but when using the printing dialog it always prints duplex.
    When printing to the printers directly (many different models) everything works - but going through the cups server - only duplex.
    All our Linux machines prints both duplex and simplex as they should, so the cups server isn't the problem.
    Has anybody else had this problem?
      Other OS  

    Armin,
    You need to do the following to make the duplex printing work for postscript in Oracle Reports.
    You need a printer with duplex option and an appropriate PPD file.
    You also need the Unix tool sed to filter the output file.
    The problem is that duplexing is enabled in the job level set up of the PostScript document but gets reset in the page set up because paper size and printer tray information is generated for every page. The workaround would be to write a script, which removes page level set-up information for the paper size and printer tray set up commands. As a side effect of this - it is no longer possible to switch the printer tray between pages.
    Write a sed script file called 'duplexsed' with the following three lines. This
    /^%%BeginPageSetup/,$ {
    /^%%BeginFeature/,/^%%EndFeature/d
    Copy the file to an appropriate directory, for example $ORACLE_HOME/bin.
    Set the environment variable TK_PRINT:
    TK_PRINT="sed -f $ORACLE_HOME/bin/duplexsed | lpr -l -s -P'%n' -#'%c'"
    export TK_PRINT
    Note that the print command is different for the various kinds of Unix.
    You may need to refer your installation guide and make changes to the lpr command
    Thanks

  • Crashes intermittantly ( every other print ) when printing PDF forms

    using a mac osx lion running firefox 10.0.2 and adobe reader pre release 11.0.0 when printing these pdf forms for real estate industry fire fox will intermitantly crash. this happens to all users running adobe 9.x.x - 10.0.1 i have run thourgh firefoxes tests to no avail. any other suiggestions.
    updated plug ins
    checked for osx lion updates
    updated firefox
    staretd in safe mode
    tested in adobe 9 - 11
    tested on PC no issues
    only firefox for mac

    OK
    I debugged further I solved my issue.
    I found that the system crashed when it was reading an include text on the context. The include text was missing on the test case that whent wrong. So I whent to the context and ticked the flag "no error if no text exist" on the include text. Then I got no error and my PDF printed.
    So, I don't think the issue Oscar is having comes from the printer or the RFC connexion. Just check the include texts you are using on the context and mark the "no error..." flag.

  • Problem: Light color shadow on top of black background when printing

    Using InDesign CS3, PC.
    I have a book cover design that looks perfect on screen. There is a section with a black background and colored letters on top of it. Also on top of this black background is an image of a dinosaur (made in illustrator CS3). The image was placed into the InDesign file and does not have any color to the background. But when it is printed (Xerox Phaser), there is a colored shadow where the image overlaps the black background section.
    There are also colored areas over other black background sections where drop shadows (35%) occur on top of the black background.
    Could anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? I have never dealt with 100% black in my designs before and I must be doing something wrong.
    Again, on the screen you cannot see any of these colored areas on top of the black background. It's only when I print that they show up.
    Thank you,
    Cathy

  • Black lines when printing photo.

    I have Adobe Photoshop Ellements 7.
    All applications print correctly accept this program. I get vertical bl
    ack lines when i print a photo. What"s up.

    I read somewhere that this problem can occur with some printers if the picture's resolution has a fractions in it, for example 300.456. This can happen, for example,  if you resize the picture with the resampling box unchecked. Try resizing again to just the whole number.

  • How to Print when printer is NOT AirPrint capable

    I have an iPad 2 and would like to print.  My computer is a Canon PIXMA MX870.  It is wireless but not AirPrint capable, as far as I can tell.
    I have downloaded the Printer Pro app and tried to find my printer.  Both my desktop computer (iMac) and printer are wireless.  My wifi signal is strong.
    Since I could not find my printer in the app window, I tried to download the app helper, but when I did, the iPad displayed the error "Safari cannot download this app."  The same message occurred when I tried with Google Chrome.
    Next, I tried the classic print approach - with the IP of my printer.  I figured if I cannot print everywhere, maybe I could settle for home.   I put in the IP address,
    and the app did not recognize my printer.  Nothing happened.  No test page printed.
    I don't know what to do.  Is there an app that is recommended specifically for these issues (wireless but no AirPrint)?  If not, what affordable printers are out
    that can scan and copy and AirPrint, and which might you suggest?
    I prefer keeping what I have  .... but just in case ...     Thanks!

    Canon offers several Apps for their non AirPrint compatible printers.  This one specifically says it supports your model of Printer:
    https://itunes.apple.com/app/canon-easy-photoprint/id331269951?mt=8
    Alternatively, you may be able to install a piece of software onm your computer that wil allow you to print to your printer.
    For Mac Printopia is recommended often.

    For PC there are less solutions, but you can still find some tutorials on how to make it work though they aren't as straight forward as Printopia.

  • Cannot choose printer when printing HTML report

    Hello,
    I have lost many many hours trying to print correctly a report that is composed only of a JPEG image.
    After a conversation in the forum, I concluded that the LabVIEW has a bug printing Standard Reports, as it cannot manipulate correctly the margins and the scale of the image. But, when using Standard Reports I could choose which printer to use.
    So, I use HTML Reports that print the report smoothly, but the choise of the printer has a problem. No matter which printer is chosen by a Ring Menu, it prints to same printer all the time.
    Could you please give me any hint to solve this problem?
    I attach the corresponding code:

    Hey guys, this is Paul with National Instruments.
    Being employed at NI I am obligated to provide a big disclaimer about the information I am about to provide:
    MANUALLY CHANGING YOUR WINDOWS REGISTRY CAN CAUSE CORRUPTION AND ERRORS IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL.  DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK.
    With that being said, nikosfs was on the right track by editing his Windows Registry to perform this action.  Please see the following steps, and see if it helps further explain what you need to do:
    Open the Registry Editor. To do this, click Start >> Run and type "regedit", then press OK.
    Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows.   In this key there should be an entry called Device with values that should match up with your default printer.
    Right click on the Windows key, choose "Export" from the menu that pops up, and save the Registration File as printer1.reg.
    Leaving the Registry Editor open, change your default printer. To do this, go to Start >> Settings >> Printers and Faxes. Right click on the printer that you want your report to print to, and choose the option "Set as Default Printer".
    Go back to the Registry Editor, it should be noted that the value of the Device entry has changed to the new default printer. Right click on the Windows key again, choose "Export" from the menu that pops up, and save the Registration File as printer2.reg
    These two files may now be used to manipulate your default printer settings in conjunction with the System Exec.vi. The figures below show how to use the registry files and the System Exec.vi. 
    → The "/s" in the text field makes sure that this vi will run without interrupting regular user interaction.
    → The path constant is set to "c:\" because the Registration Files were saved directly in the C drive. Change according to location of Registration Files.
    Make sure that this operation is called before the Print Report.vi is called, as it will print just to the default printer.

  • How can I fix a printing problem: message cannot print document: "no pages selected to print" when printing a pdf file.

    I am having problems printing a pdf document. When I select a file to print and try to print it says that "no pages selected to print". The default all pages was selected by me but the message keeps coming up. I recently installed adobe reader version 11. Rebooted the computer but sitll having issues printing docs.
    Jerseyguy

    Hi Pat.
    Yes, both of them lead to the very same error.
    I have a workaround, kind of, where I preview the document and select all the pages that are correct (read showing on the pages preview) as included in the 1st screenshot.
    As you can see in the first screenshot, the 5th page seems to be non-existandt, however as I try to preview it from the 3rdP software, it comes up just fine and from there I can print it individually... just annoying when you have 50 pages and 6 of then are randomly not showing up.
    If I try to print the whole document, it simply gives me the 2nd, 3rd and 4th screenshots.
    As for the 3rdP software, as stated in prior posts, it has been working flawlesly for the last 5 years, and has not been updated in any way, shape of form... As you said, maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to look into that, however I don't believe the contract for the software maintenance is still in effect...
    Thanks.

  • Some fields in form not printing but do print when printing fields only

    Hope that someone can help with this. I have filled in some forms (supplied by a third party) and when I print these forms the content of some fields are printed, and some are not. I have found out that if I cut a field's content, then paste into the same field, then tab out of the field, then the field content will be printed. I have about 20 of these forms with a lot of fields, so I would prefer another solution ;-)
    The strange thing is, when I choose to print fields only (I have Dutch version of Acrobat, not sure if it has that exact name in English) ALL fields are printed correctly!
    I have scanned the forums and tried several printing options, including printing as image.
    I have tried using Acrobat 8.1.6 Standard on Windows (at the office) and the latest Acrobat Reader on both Ubuntu Linux and Mac OSX (at home) with the same results.
    Any suggestions?
    thanks

    The first time I chatted with iTunes support they ended it by giving me 2 free song downloads. No offense, but I don't want to download anything but what I've already paid for. The second person to help me through email support gave me 6 free song downloads. This is frustrating because neither can offer a solution to why iTunes says 6 of this album's tracks are downloaded to my computer and won't allow me to redownload them... BUT on another device I can redownload the album in its entirety. That sounds like a very technical question that I just don't think they train their support staff to handle.
    So, does anyone know how I can get this computer to UNRECOGNIZE these songs as downloaded, thus allowing me to download the full album to this computer?!
