Page Information Issue When Printing

Hello everybody,
I'm a first-time user of the Adobe forums, so please try and bear with me, in case this question has come up way in the past. I didn't find anything while searching. I'm currently trying to print some documents with InDesign, and the Page Information feature seems to not be working (this feature is a check box located under Marks and Bleed in the print settings). When checked, it's supposed to print at the bottom of the file, the filename and the date it was printed. Obviously, a simple workaround would just be add a date and version in the master page, but since this is an internal project and it will be getting updated constantly, I'd like to try and avoid that.
I would note that not all of my files aren't cooperating with this feature, just a select few. Most of the files that use this feature work just fine. Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

That information prints outside of the live area. (Along with the other options listed - crop marks, bleed marks, registration marks, color bars)
Items in the Marks and Bleeds are not intended to be on the finished piece.
You DO want to include the information on the master page as a Variable.

Mavericks custom page sizes issue when printing

Does anybody have a solution to why my custom page sizes are scaling my print jobs even though it is set not too?
This issue has only occurred since i updated to mavericks 10.9.3. The page setups were the same ones i previously used without problem.
Default page setups work correctly.
I have tried recreating each custom page size but still have the same problem.
I print mostly using adobe acrobat or adobe indesign. using indd files or pdf's
I have installed all latest drivers and updates for my peripherals in case that was an issue. But no solution.
If i cant sort a solution for this issue im gonna have to revert back and i dont want to do that.

Try printing a PDF using the pre installed Preview app.

I have a user that has an issue when printing to PDF.

I have a user that has an issue when printing to PDF. When printing to PDF the PC will intermittently freeze and sometimes the print spooler will crash taking all other printers offline. A reboot clears it up for a while but then it comes back.
Acrobat 11 Pro
Windows 7 x64
Office 2010 Professional
Any help would be great! Thanks

I manage a network of 30,000 + workstations all with Acrobat Pro 10. Upon upgrading to 10.1.10, they all exhibited similar symptoms printing to the PDF printer. The problem is most obvious in IE 11, it will cause the browser to stop responding, however it seems to depend on the page being viewed. For example we can print google.com, but not yahoo.com.
And of course there is no method to roll back to 10.1.9, other than to completely remove and re-install Acrobat.
I hope this is getting addressed soon!

Print issues when printing a muse page from internet explorer and opera

When I try to print a page on my muse site in internet explorer or opera it goes a little crazy. Everything is huge and thrown all over the place. When printing the same pages in firefox or safari it is fine. Any help?

I'm also running into this issue, and I'm hoping someone can answer.

Apparent page AREA limitation when printing to PDF?

In the process of producing posters for technical presentations, I have many times "printed to PDF" - typically from CorelDraw - with page sizes as large as 42" x 72". Until a couple of months ago, I was doing so with Acrobat 9 Pro under Windows XP.
Now I'm on a newer machine with Acrobat X Pro under Windows 7 64-bit. I tried to create such a PDF today at 42" x 72", using the same procedure as always, but without success - didn't ever see the usual dialog for selecting the PDF file name and destination. I tried it with a smaller page size - 36" x 72" - and it worked exactly as expected.
I embarked upon a little exploration to see, for a given page width, the maximum page length I could use before it wouldn't create a PDF. Here's what I observed:
15" x 198.8" works, but 15" x 198.9" does not
20" x 149.1" works, but 20" x 149.2" does not
36" x 82.85" works, but 36" x 82.86" does not
42" x 71.01" works, but 42" x 71.02" does not
Note that, for all of these cases, things cease to work when the area becomes just slightly greater than 2,982 square inches.
I tried some of the same page sizes for printing to PDF from a different application (Autodesk Inventor), and found the same results. It works when the page area is at or below 2,982 square inches, but fails when the area is slightly greater than that. When it fails when printing from Inventor, in addition to not seeing the usual dialog for selecting the PDF file name and destination, I'm also presented with the error message, "Could not start print job".
Does anyone have knowledge of this issue? I have searched and - so far - failed.

Bump.
I can add now that this system has been upgraded to Acrobat XI Pro.
The problem still persists, with exactly the same behavior observed as before. I can generate a 42" x 71" page, but not a 42" x 72" page.
When trying to create a 42" x 71" page, it works correctly from CorelDraw, Autodesk Inventor, and MicroSoft PowerPoint.
When trying to create a 42" x 72" page:
CorelDraw - nothing happens.
Autodesk Inventor - receive error message - "Could not start print job".
MicroSoft PowerPoint - receive error message - "Windows cannot print due to a problem with the current printer setup." (and more - see attached image).

Minor Layout Issue when Printing Invoices in Chrome (v20.0.1132.47)

This is a relatively minor issue in the big scheme of things but a client of ours has reported a layout issue when bulk printing invoices in Chrome. It could be default browser behaviour which BC has no control over but I thought I’d submit it anyway.
It occurs when you’re viewing the default Order Report (http://www.yourdomain.com/AdminConsole/#!/CRM/OrderList.aspx) in the BC v3 interface and you want to print invoices in bulk (see screenshot below).
When you print invoices in bulk in Chrome they print on overlapping pages, as opposed to Firefox where each invoice will print on a separate page, which makes management much easier for our client. I’ve tried tinkering with the print settings inside of Chrome but I can seem to change it.
Does anyone know a way around this or are we dealing with default browser behavior that is out of our hands?
Cheers,
Matt

Scaling issue when printing to HP devices from InDesign CS4

I seem to have a recurring error printing from InDesign CS4 (OS X Leopard 10.5.8) to both my HP printers (C3180 & Officejet Pro 8500). When printing at 100% size, the artwork gets scaled up slightly. For example, creating a simple 5 x 5" box ends up coming out at 5.125 x 5.125" on the printed sheet (with no scaling turned on in the print dialogue).
I've not been able to find any support issues related to this on either HP or Adobe's site. I suspect it's s driver/postscript incompatability issue. The same artwork prints at the correct size when exporting to PDF and printing from Acrobat.
Curious if anyone else is experiencing the same problem.

A large percentage of problems we see related to printing seem to be with HP printers. Are you doing borderless or anything like that? What is the page size and scaling in the driver?

Issue when printing to fax

Hi,
Recently I encountered an issue when I try to print a report with 2 or more pages to the Microsoft Shared Fax Driver.
If there's only one page I can view the fax's image atachment, but if there are more pages, then the image file seems corrupted and cannot be openned.
This problem occurs when printing directly to fax from the designer.
I've tried printing from a XPS file to fax and everything works fine.
I'm currently with CR 2008 SP2 and .NET 3.5 SP1.
Is this a known Crystal Reports 2008 issue?
Thanks

Please re-post if this is still an issue or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly:

Colour issues when printing

Hi,
We have just installed a A3 HP Laserjet CP5225 printer. All is well apart from when printing PDFs from acrobat pro. For some reason greys are coming out green and other colours are off. When I print from the Preview App it prints fine so I am assuming its an Acrobat Pro issue. When the same document is printed from within acrobat reader on a windows machine it prints fine.
Any ideas? Is this a common issue with Acrobat Pro on OSX?
Cheers
Michael

First the the Driver for the Mac(s) up to date for the OS you are using. Is it possible to have it installed on the server if its going to be used on a network.
Some printers allow you to adjust the color through the Print Driver
example here with my Printer also a Hp but a inkjet instead.
Screenshot example: http://screencast.com/t/ZDM1NDI0
Note if you change this click on click standrd button and scroll down to bottom of page choose save as and give a name associated with acrobat
example Acrobat Color Balance shifted.
screenshot example: http://screencast.com/t/NTgwMmU4Njk
In this screenshoot I show all the different preset I have.
then when you need to print from Acrobat or Reader on the Mac. you just choose the preset.

Printing issues when printing to Server 2008 R2 Print Server

We have a problem with netwok printing that encompasses many different areas and versions of Windows OSes so I will be posting this in a few different places.
Let me lay this out for you. We have a single Server 2008 R2 print server with 300 printers of various models. This print server has both 32 and 64-bit drivers installed for every printer. For the HP printers we are using the HP Universal Printing PCL 6
(version 61.94.3.37) and for the Ricoh printers we are using their PCL6 driver for universal printing version 3.5. All drivers run in Isolation mode and no printer gets published to AD.
We have a mix of Windows clients printing to these printers, both XP Pro and Windows 7 32 and 64-bit.
Now for the problems: The other day one Isolation host on the server went crazy, processing was hitting 100% and memory was fluctuating and growing a lot. After investigating a little that isolation host was having issues accessing the Ricoh Driver (which
was 3.4 at the time). In an attempt to resolve the issue we updated the driver to V. 3.5. This seemed to fix the isolation issues and things calmed down however this is the beginning of many other issues for the clients. Both Windows OS versions (XP and 7)
don't seem to be either downloading and installing the updated driver and/or doing so correctly. Clients are now experiencing extremely slow printing, applications such as Word, Outlook, Excel and others open slowly and it can take 2-3 minutes for print dialog
boxes to open. In all cases it seems that we have to have a tech delete the printer(s), delete the driver and then re-install the printer to make things better but for some reason, which is really unknown, this process doesn't work for every machine and on
some we can't even remove the old drivers at all without booting into SafeMode and doing it that way.
With all of that said, are there any suggestions as to why the clients aren't downloading and installing the drivers from the server correctly? How to avoid these issues when we need to upgrade the drivers on the server in the future? Most importantly right
now, are there any recommendations or scripts on how to force the deletions of the printer, driver, reset the print spoolers and then re-add the printers in a more automated fashion?
I have played with both wmic, pnputil and printuidll and am trying to put something together but without a set solution that will work consistently it becomes a lot more difficult.

We are experiencing a very similar issue.
Windows Server 2008 R2. Printers are deployed over group policy.
Clients range from Windows 7 to Windows 8. Citrix XenDesktop and XenApp environment also connects to these endpoints.
We have A wide assortment of HP printers, and Ricoh Printers.
For the ricoh's we have been historically using the PCL6 drivers for the individual device type (not universal print). Up till recently, it all was working fine, until about some time in the middle of june, when everything just seemed to go crazy.
The issue was resolved by moving off from the PCL 6 drivers and using the PCL5e driver counterparts on all of our ricoh printers.
It would crash XenDesktop applications, it would crash office applications.
The print spooler would lock up, even if the ricoh printers were not actually used, just as long as they were loaded.
Even after loading PCL5 on the servers, some of the clients would simply not download the PCL5 version of the driver from the print server. In order to resolve this, I have created the steps below. Be advised, this may possibly cause damage on your system.
We just found it worked great for us. Local printers will likely have to be manually reinstalled after this.
Directions
Stop the print spooler
Open C:\Windows\System32\Spool and delete the following
All files in SERVERS
All files in PRINTERS
All files in drivers
All files in prtprocs
Start the print spooler
Open a command prompt as administrator, and run the following command
Cscript C:\windows\system32\Printing_Admin_Scripts\en-US\prndrvr.vbs -x
This should further delete all print drivers.
Open a command prompt as a standard user (not administrator) and run the following
Gpupdate
Now wait. It takes a while, but the printers will slowly start to repopulate.
I am still not sure what is going on with the PCL6 drivers for ricoh, and why this issue is happening. I'm guessing it has something to do with the Ricoh auto update that is included in their pcl6 drivers. Maybe some sort of auto update happened recently.

Strange layers issue when printing

Hi Guys,
I am having a strange issue which is probably easy to fix however I am not a heavy adobe user and dont know where to start.
This is the rough process to explain my point but a summary is - when printing PDF files they do not appear as they do on screen.
A picture/document is created in Adobe Illustrator, an outline PDF is then created and saved
I can open the outline PDF successfully, in newer versions of PDF Reader (v8+) the PDF displays on screen correctly. In older versions the PDF is missing lines or various things.
If I print this PDF all these lines etc still missing. I know this sounds vague but I will try and explain.
An example is this - the document is a black box with a silver smaller box on top in the centre. On the screen it shows correctly. When I print, the black box is printed with no silver box.
I have just discovered that the silver box is actually printed however its printed in the background so I think its got to do with layers? If I make the black box to be white, and then print I can see my silver box, so its clear it has been printed in the wrong order.
Oh another thing I have found is the default format for saving PDF files is v1.5 if I choose an older version, the layers are printed correctly
I have both Adobe reader installed on Mac's and PC and the issue happens on both
Surely all the printers I have can't be all in-compatible
Printers:
Kyocera KM-4050
Kyocera FSC5200
Canon MX850
Lanier MP2500
Lanier MP2800

This is not a scanning resolution factor and I have been scanning this way for years. These scans are not photos but documents. This problem just started. And as I said before, the problem also occurs when doing a save as from Illustrator, as well as supplied files from clients, so the scanning process has nothing to do with it. I just can't get them to print right.

Color issues when printing AI files on PostScript

First off, please forgive me if this is not the right forum or if I am not using the right terms. I am the network admin for our company and I'm posting this on behalf of our designer.
We recently added PostScript drivers to our Sharp printers, and we have been seeing odd printing results when printing embedded .AI files.
We use CreativeSuite CS5, and our developer has hundreds of images with pure white and transparent backgrounds stored in .AI format. When these images are embedded/linked to an Indesign document they print with a solid black background and what appears to be an inverted color pattern, almost like a photo negative.
All embedded EPS files print fine. The affected .AI files print fine when printed directly from Illustrator.
The embedded images print fine using a PCL driver. We are trying to implement the Postscript driver for better color quality.
Any ideas?
(We are using Windows XP SP3, x86
Server based network printing on Windows 2003 x86)
Thanks in advance
Matt

You'll get better and faster responses if you post in the Adobe Illustrator forum. This is an application-specific question rather than a color management issue.

Transparency issues when printing from Illustrator CS5

I recently designed a flyer for an event that a group of artists and I are doing as a not-for-profit organization that we started, to help clean up the area and promote the arts.
When I print the file (saved as an AI), the colors are bold, the font is crisp, and everthing overall looks fantastic, apart from this "box" around some of the elements I have created/added to the file.
When being printed from an exported jpeg format, the boxes are not present, but the image overall is of lesser quality (i know it's from being compressed to a jpeg), and the colors are not as bold.
I only have a black & white printer, a Brother MFC-7220. I only found out this issue when my curiousity got the best of me, and printed it to see what it'd look like on paper (8.5"x11") before we sent it off to the print shot. This is when I noticed the problem.
The elements which have this box around them were edited in Photoshop CS 6 (trial), where I had (at least thought), disposed of each elements background, so I could import them into AI as objects, without any background.
The files were edited in PS in new documents with a transparent background, saved as a PSD, then "opened" in Illustrator where I simply copied the object and pasted into the AI file I was working in. I've tried recreating/re-adding the elements from PS back into AI with the same issue.
The image also looks perfect on my screen, no boxes whatsoever. I've tried playing around with printer settings, transparency/raster settings, but the only thing I can get close, is the low-quality jpeg file. This problem also happens when exporting to a PDF, which is what I typically use for my printing format from AI.
Any ideas what's going on here? The pictures linked below show a photo of the AI and the jpeg, and a screencap of my desktop as the AI stands right now. The jpeg export has a few minor changes to it, but are still otherwise the same. The only items that are "supposed" to have this, are the logos for our sponsors in the bottom-left corner.
I'm stumped, nothing is working that I've read about, and I need to get these printed as soon as I can! Any help would be appreciated - please keep in mind I'm a novice when it comes to AI/PS, I know mostly basics.
[url=http://s1286.beta.photobucket.com/user/em0te-apparel/library/AI%20Print%20Issue]PICTURES[/url]

I, too am having the same issue printing from AI CS5. I have edited images in PS CS5 and there is a transparent background. I then placed (File>Place) the PSD files into AI and everything looks good on screen. However, I'm also getting a strange box that appears around my images—though the box itself isn't a solid opaque—it looks more like there's a overprint or screen and so it just shifts the colors behind it. I've tried saving the images as transparent PNGs with the same result. I've also tried playing with my transparency settings in the print dialogue to no avail.
Strangely this is only occurring when I print at 100% size. I came upon this by happenstance when I accidentally printed a copy at 75% and everything was fine. If anyone has any insights, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Page 2 and beyond pages are rotated when printed

When printing multiple page landscape documents from InDesign CS5 to our Canon Imagerunner C4080, everything after page 1 is rotated 90 degrees. So far all I can do is print one page at a time. This happens on all docs, newly created as well as converted from CS4 and CS3.
Drivers freshly installed with the OS. All other applications work fine. PDFs are fine.
OS X 10.6.4 on brand new iMac.
Any ideas?

There are a few Bugs in Firefox that causes that to happen. I have been waiting 8 1/2 years for those Bugs to be fixed.
Probably caused by one of these three Bugs: <br />
