Output streaked only when a document is printed from software!

Hp Deskjet F2180 all-in-one
wierd problem, i do cleaning of my catridge by printing services all 3 options, clean, inetrmediate and prime, the result is perfect but when i print anything from a software, any text or photo from msword or photoshop or notepad, the printed out put is streaked and blurry totally unreadable. Is there anyway i can fix this at all
thx for the help

I'm not sure if this is the same problem, and you didn't mention your
OS, but there was a widespread problem with dropped text in PDF with
Windows XP. A hotfix was issued to fix it. If on Windows XP, you should
install it:
http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/2008/07/hotfix_for_framemaker_1.html
Also, you mentioned that it was "bolded" text that tended to have the
problem. Bolded text is artificially bold and does not use actual bold
fonts. (If I recall, text is double printed at a slight offset to give
the appearance of a bold font.) So there is no bold font to embed. Be
sure you install and use an actual bold font, rather than using the
bolded characteristic, or you could see problems.
This is a stretch, but you also mentioned that some of the problem
sections have colored text. Check the printer properties of your Adobe
PDF virtual printer to make sure someone didn't reassign the driver (on
the Advanced tab). It should be set to use the Adobe PDF Converter
driver (or Acrobat Distiller in older Acrobat versions). Years ago,
people sometimes changed this setting to use other drivers for various
reasons, not realizing that they limited themselves to the capabilities
of that driver. So, if they chose an HP LaserJet PostScript driver, for
example, their documents might no longer be able to be 11"x17" or
color-- because the printer couldn't handle it. The driver was limited
to 8.5"x14" and black-and-white. Perhaps there is a driver set that is
choking on the colored text-- though I would think it would merely
convert it to B&W.
Okay, I've grasped at enough straws.

I have a Macbook pro thats prints fine to my HP printer, but when I try and print from my iMac it doesnt see the pages and just prints two blank pages. Even thou the document is a number of pages

I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500A and I had no problems printing to it from my Mac or Macbook pro. The macbook is wifi and the Mac is cable, I have recently had the printer replaced with an exact model. Since doing that I can only print from the macbook pro, when I try and print from teh mac it doesnt see the pages. It could be a 10 page document and it will just show two blank pages. I have googled the question and have tried deleating the printer and reinstalling without any luck. When I got the new printer I insalled all the latest drivers thats the only thing different.
Could you please help
Michelle

Right click the printer in System Prefences - Print & Scan and use Reset Printing System... and then reinstall the printer, should take less than 5 minutes. Here is a photo showing how to Reset Printing System....

IPhoto is frozen only when I click on "print?"

Please forgive me, I am really not great at this.
But I printed a picture earlier via iPhoto, and everything was fine. Later on, I went back to iPhoto because I uninstalled my printer as I have a new one coming tomorrow. Only when I click on print, my iPhoto freezes. I have uninstalled iPhoto and re-downloaded it twice, did the command and option thing, and still absolutely nothing. It just freezes when I click on the print section/bar. I am so frustrated. Any help?
Edit: And boom. As soon as I posted this, it started working. AHHH.

What happens when you try? And do you mean "uploading" (per your title) or "loading" (per your query)
What version of iPhoto?

When I try to print from web page I get "printer not activated - error code 30", printer works on Internet Explorer

When I try to print from web page I get a dialogue box "Printer not activated - error code 30" followed by a dialogue box "An unknown error occurred while printing". The printer works on websites when I use Internet Explorer. Also, if I copy the web page and paste it into a Word document, I can print a copy. This issue just started this week; I have not encountered this problem prior to this week. Please advise.

What does that error message say?
See this: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problems_printing_web_pages

Suddenly, system produces a "microsoft image writer," freezes, then crashes when I try to print from a web page. This is new, just past week or so.

For the past week or two, when I desire to print from a web page or email and hit the "print" command, instead of my printer name the printer window displays 'microsoft document image writer." Then it asks me to save (in which case it appears in my documents) or print to file. Then, if it works, it produces a window with an image of the page. And once or twice, I can then print. But usually, it produces a blank screen, an endless hourglass, a "not responding" message, and then the blue screen of death.

I'm running Adobe 9 pro on snow leopard and when I save or print from word for mac 14 the bottom gets cuts off

I'm running Adobe 9 pro on snow leopard and when I save or print from word for mac 14 the bottom gets cuts off. Can someone help?

Ah! You're creating a PDF out of Word through Acrobat. The cutoff is most likely being affected by the printer chosen.
When you call up the print dialogue in Word, check to see what printer is being used. If it's a typical inkjet printer, Acrobat is using the print margins of that printer as the cutoff area. Since most such printers can't print to the last inch and half or so of the paper, that's where it would be cut off.
Near the bottom, under the preview of the document, click on the Page Setup button. It doesn't really matter which printer you select here. Under Paper Size, choose Manage Custom Sizes. Under the Non-Printable Area heading, choose the same printer and set the paper size you're using.
Note that the unprintable margins for that printer will be filled in automatically. That's what's being cut off. Click the + button to create a modified version. The default will be "Untitled". Give it a new name if you want. Then set all of the margins to zero. Click OK. Now you'll have that as a choice under Paper Size. Doesn't matter that the actual printer can't use this setting since you're going to a PDF. Click OK to get back to the main Word print dialogue.
Now choose Save as Adobe PDF. It should give you an exact duplicate of what's on screen in Word since as far as Acrobat is concerned, your "printer" has no unprintable margins.

Lightroom 4 launches to Photoshop CS5 when I try to print from Lightroom. How do I change it

Lightroom 4 launches to Photoshop CS5 when I try to print from Lightroom. How do I change it, so the printing goes directly from Lightroom to the printer.

MartyOretsky wrote:
Let me try again. I am in Lightroom and click print. Then I am launched to PS.
This is not possible.
What you are seeing is not PS, it's your printer dialog. PS does not have an ICM button.
And you say: " Lightroom doesn't stop working; rather CS5 stops working"
And what does the error message say that you posted in the screen shot? Does it not say "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom has stopped working" ?
Do not be confused. Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is the official name of Lightroom. This is not CS5 that has stopped working. CS5 does not come on when you hit the print button in Lr.
It is Lr that has stopped working.
And you say: "My next step is to click on ICM so the color controls are done by the software."
This is wrong. When you want Lr to do the color management, you select a profile in the Print Module, in the <Print Job> panel under Color Management / Profile.
In the screen shot below I have selected a profile for my HP printer and paper. And that's where you select a profile for your printer and paper.
You do not click on ICM in your printer dialog. You click there only when you want your printer to manage colors.
So try to print by selecting the profile in the print Module as indicated and do not click on ICM.
By the way: Which OS? Are you on a Mac?

Is there a way to play an mp4 file at the beginning of a published project only when the project is accessed from a specific site?

Is there a way to play an mp4 file at the beginning of a published project only when the project is accessed from a specific site?
A little background info. I use Captivate 7 and currently have over 100 projects that I maintain on a quarterly basis. I publish using the SWF format and upload the swf/htm files to a server where they are then accessed from a few locations (within our online documentation, in our software product, on two different websites). Many of the projects are linked so some will be viewed as a series and others viewed as a standalone video. Each video uses the same template and includes an intro and end slide. Now my organization wants to implement a new intro to all videos (those I publish and those from several groups across the organization). My current intros provide overview material for the specific video so the new intro, which is an animation with audio in mp4 format, would need to be placed at the start of each project. The issue is, the intro adds 9 seconds to every video and in many cases doesn’t add any value (say, if a user accesses the video from within our product or views the videos as a series). I’ve talked it over with my boss and we want to try to add the intro only to videos accessed from site X, not any other location. So now to my question. Is there a way to play an external mp4 file (intro) only when the published project is accessed from a specific site, therefore eliminating the need to update each project? Maybe there's a way to add a parameter or variable to the URL or the html code?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions. Please let me know if you need additional information.

AimeeLove,
I have a solution for you. You may have to modify the code a little bit based on how long the timeline animation is for your clock. I based mine on 3 seconds to complete a minute hand sweep around the clock.
Milliseconds for each point on the clock:
12 = 0
1 = 250
2 = 500
3 = 750
4 = 1000
5 = 1250
6 = 1500
7 = 1750
8 = 2000
9 = 2250
10 = 2500
11 = 2750
In the mouseover section for 12 o' clock, put this code...
myVar = setInterval(function(){
     var pos = sym.getPosition();
     if (pos > 0 && pos < 50){
          sym.stop(0);
          clearInterval(myVar);
},10);
When you point to the time, the setInterval method loops every 100th of a second and checks the current position of the timeline. When the timeline reaches the range between 0 and 50 milliseconds (almost impossible to hit 1 specific point), the timeline will stop at 0. Also, the clearInterval will be fired to stop the loop.
In the mouseout section, put this...
sym.play();
clearInterval(myVar);
It start the clock again, and it also clears the loop in case you mouseout before you reach the range.
Make sure that myVar is a global variable so you can clear it from the mouseout section.
Repeat this for each point on the clock. To avoid potential conflicts, you may want to use my12, my1, my2, etc. instead of myVar. I put the milliseconds at the top that you would use as the beginning of the range. 50 milliseconds should be enough to catch it. So, for 5 o' clock, you would make your range between 1250 and 1300.
Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
Fred

HT4356 My new HP printer is listed above as an AirPrinter ... But when I try to print from my iPad I get a message saying that there are No airprinters! Do I need to format/setup something first?!

My new Hewlett Packard printer is listed as an AirPrinter on the Apple website, but when I try to print from my iPad it says that there are No airprinters. The printer is connected to the same WiFi network, is turned on & I'm close to the printer. Do I need to forma/set up the iPad or Printer to enable this feature?!

It would help to post this in a more proper form. This is for the iTunes family of stores.

Photoshop CS3 crashes when I try to print from Epson R2400

Hi,
For no reason that I can see, when I try to print from my Epson R2400, Photoshop CS3 crashes.
It was working fine up to yesterday with no issues.
I have re installed the drivers etc but no use.
I also cannot choose Printer Manages Colors, as it is now greyed out.
When the the Printer dialogue opens and I click on the Page Set up I get the Error that "Photoshop CS3 has encountered a problem and needs to close"
Any ideas please?

Thanks for the replies.
I understand now that the procedure is probably the reason.
I was just experimenting as LAB colours are colours we see through our eyes, while RGB, CMYK etc are "computer" colours and so I use LAB colours a lot, before switching back to RGB.
I normally switch to LAB mode and click on the Lightness channel, then play with adjustments of that channel. This time I decided to mess around and see what would happen if I removed all channels except the Lightness one....
Converting to greyscale for me is not enough unfortunately and LAB B+W provides much better contrast and tone than hitting CTRL+Shift+U to greyscale.
Again, I understand what you say, my point being though that Photoshop should not crash because I incorrectly remove the channels, perhaps a warning to tell me I can't do it would be better.
I'll pass this onto Adobe anyway.
cheers

Hi voltric2014,
If you are on Windows, you can download and install the CreatePDF Desktop Printer, which would allow you to "print" to PDF from Word. You'll find a link to the installer on the CreatePDF page at https://cloud.acrobat.com. Here are the instructions for installing it: Using Adobe PDF Pack
Please let us know if you have additional questions.
Best,
