.pdf's won't print to hp with ps printer driver

I'm on win7 64 using acrobat pro 11, trying to print to a networked hp laserjet 3015 with hp's universal postscript printer driver.
I didn't have this issue with the pcl5 driver, but it wouldn't allow me to print more that one copy at a time, so I switched to the ps driver.
No other programs are having trouble with the ps driver, and acrobat prints fine to my other networked printer, a canon mx882.
I've found two workarounds and discovered that acrobat XI is very buggy.
I can get it to print the .pdf by selecting print as image, but that takes forever
it appears that .pdfs with only text print fine--it's just an issue if they have some graphic content.
If I go to print, click advanced, and under postscript options select print method "language level 2", and immediately click okay and click print. It will print fine, but the setting does not stay, the next time I open the Advanced dialogue, it's back on language level 3.
1. This makes no sense.
2. a setting ought to stay when you set it.
3. This took hours of trial and error to find--how would anyone know to do this?
Therefore I say this is a serious flaw/bug problem. Where do I report it. You can't reach a human at adobe unless you're a paying subscriber. I just happen to prefer purchasing software outright, so I'm out of luck.
Why can't acrobat just work the way it should?

Hi Bruce ,
Please help us with the information below for further assistance on this.
1) Exact version of Acrobat (Help>About Acrobat)
2) How was the PDF created, (PDF Producer) File Properties
3) Size of the PDF not being printed
4) Try printing directly to the printer, rather than spooling the document first
go to device and Printers
Right click on the printer and go to the printer properties.
Advanced>Print directly to the printer.
Also, try printing the documents first to the Adobe PDF Printer and then try printing them to the physical printer.
Thanks,
Vikrantt Singh

What is the best 3rd party print API available with rich print capabilities

Hi
Our SWING based application is 6 years old and we have been using a third party print API that was available at that time.
As it is a very old API, all the print features are not available and it provides just a minimal print features. Now we are thinking of migrating to a best available print API.
What is the best third party print API available with robust print capabilities? OUR COMPANY IS READY TO SPEND SOME BUCKS TO BUY ANY ROBUST THIRD PARTY PRINT API.
Thanks

I just put this into my client class (removed the stuff i had that weren't needed):
import java.io.*;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class ListClient
     public static void main (String [] args) throws IOException
         Friend[] friend = new Friend [20];
         List myPals = new List();
         Scanner s = null;
        try {
            s = new Scanner(new BufferedReader(new FileReader("myFriends.dat")));
            while (s.hasNext()) {
                System.out.println(s.next());
        } finally {
            if (s != null) {
                s.close();
}my file (called myFriends.dat, in the same file this program is in) has 3 names listed in a column with their birthdays right next to each and phone numbers right next to the bdays.
when i right click on the listClient class and "tell it to work", it does nothing... did i do it completely wrong? lol

Printing to Postscript with virtual printer

Hi,
I would like to have virtual printer that allows to save prints as postscript files (.ps) within specified folder. Without a need to confirm that and or set that each time. Please do you know any solution?
I also found that the old hints with virtual poscript printer does not work in 10.7 (e.g. http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/404/kb404931.html) - do you know, how could I configure such virtual printer now?
Thank you for any help.

Cannot print or scan with USB printer over wifi from airport express / time capsule wifi

Hi everybody,
I have recently set up time capsule connected to the router from the telephone company but created a new wifi network for the time machine to better work. Now I have bought an airport express to be able to use my USB printer over the WIFI network. I have to laptops, the printing works fine over the mac book air but not over the macbook pro. On top of that I cannot scan with either of the devices.
I have scanned most of the information out there but this issue seems not to be addressed properly anywhere. Advices given do always repeat itself but no solution worked for me.
Now I have plugged the usb from the printer directly back into mac book pro and the problem seems to persist here too. The message I receive everywhere is this one:
The software for the printer was installed incorrectly.
Would you like it to be repaired?
When I hit the Repair button a notice says 'repairing permissions' but nothing really happens. In the end nothing has been printed.
Resetting the printing systems has not really changed anything either. The problems persist.
This is the screen I get when the printer is directly plugged in through USB:
Result: printer recognised and installed, I cannot print (The software for the printer was installed incorrectly), but I can scan (probably because of the hint ('multifunction')
When I try to install the printer through the network connection (wifi network over time capsule and airport express) I get this image:
Result: printer recognised over bonjour but without multifunction (in other words without scanning), I cannot scan nor print (The software for the printer was installed incorrectly)
As I already mentioned any solution I found online would not work. Now the qustions are:
1) why can't I print? The drivers seem to be there but somehow broken, and I don't know how to repair it
2) why can't I scan over wifi? It sould possible that any function that can be performed over cable should also be able to performable over air, right?
I would very much appreciate any kind of help.
Thank you in advance,
Cris

What's up doc?
HP has not provided "network" drivers to allow advanced features when the the All-in-One is connected to the USB port on the Time Capsule.
Therefore, only the printing function is supported when the All-in-One is connected to the Time Capsule's USB port.
If you need advanced features like fax, copy, scan, maintenance etc., you will need to connect over the WiFI network, or connect the All-in-One directly to your computer.

Printing trhough SAPWIN with ZEBRA printer

Hi Gurus
I need your help please since I already spent a lot of time to find a solution and not found any.
I use Smartform to produce labels on ZEBRA printer (output Device Z201, Device Type ZLZEB2:Zebra label printer 203dpi). All fields on my form use HELVE as font. I print my form through Z201 and it works fine.
My requirement now is to print the form to ZEBRA printer locally using SAPWIN (Rel 4.x/SAPlpd 4.09 + ONL:Y) as device type. To do this I created a new output device LCLB, copied the device type SAPWIN into ZWIN and attached to output device LCLB
The problem is when I print the form using LCLB, all my fields with HELV font are printed with COURRIER font.
I went in transaction SE73 and display printer fonts associated with ZWIN and it seems that all fonts (COURCYR, COURIER, OUR_I7, HELVCYR, HELVE, HELV_I7, OCRA, OCRB, TIMECYR, TIMES, TIME_I7) are defined there. Do I miss something? Do I have to redefine the print control in ZWIN with control characters corresponding with ZEBRA printer?
Any feedback would be appreciated
Thank you

Hi Valter,
did you figured it out why do you had a problem with that printer?

Color control in printing: Aperture mayhem with Epson printer

With monitors calibrated and colorsync profiles loaded for my Epson 1280 printer, Photoshop prints are as close to screen as possible.
Aperture starts off with something strange: each profile for my Epson appears 3X in the menu. When selecting the profile that matches my printer and paper, the result is more than a color cast. It's more like a colorized image. I can get closer by selecting profiles that don't match my paper type, but always with a cast.
Is there a trick to getting Aperture to be reliable and as good as Photoshop?

(These aren't Epson's instructions, but might be helpful regardless)
For some Epson printers, the drivers shipped with Tiger are more current that the ones on the Epson web site. You wouldn't want to delete the drivers, but - for example - if you move from Firewire to USB, or Airport, the system can get confused.
I've found that deleting the Epson printers in Print Center (and resetting the printing subsystem if necessary or deleting and installing drivers) isn't enough, but that you also have to eradicate everything inside
/Library/Printers/EPSON/Preferences/
where it remembers printer models, ports and settings.
In addition, ColorSync remembers your profiles for deleted printers in the (hidden) file
/Library/Preferences/.Globalpreferences.plist
DON'T delete this file, just edit it and get rid of the deleted devices (ColorSyncDevices/Device-prtrxxxx)

Opening print dialog box with "Selection" printing enabled

Hi all,
I have a JTable in which I wan to print only selected rows. When I open the Print dialog box using printDialog() method of PrinterJob, the dialog opens with "Selection" option disabled.
How can I enable this option ?
How can I print my selection using the standard Print Dialog ?

This I know.
Let me refrase my question:
I have a table with selected cells (Rows Cols
whatever ...) I wish to open the print dialog box
with Selection radio button enabled, such that when I
will check it and click print, the selected table
cell get printed.This I had understood.
Let me refrase my reply:
If you simply print a new table containing the selected data
then you don't need to have the Selection radio button enabled
in the print dialog box.

Print Job Jammed with Samsung Printer

MACHINES:
Computer: MacBook
Printer: Samsung ML-1630 (http://www.samsung.com/hken/consumer/detail/features.do?group=printersmultifunction&type=printersmultifun ction&subtype=monochromelaserprinters&modelcd=ML-1630/XEU)
Wireless Router: Belkin 'N' Wireless Router (http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=372043)
Wireless USB Hub: Belkin USB Hub (http://www.belkin.com/networkusbhub/)
The printer is connected to the wireless usb hub, so my MacBook can be print out the documents via wireless, however, the printer is only able to print out one file and the next file will be hold until I restart the printer or reload the wireless usb hub software under Mac OS. It doesn't has any problems under Windows OS.
I have reinstalled the driver and application for Mac already.
Do you know how can I solve this problem?

Does the printer work properly when hooked up directly to the computer. If so, then I strongly suspect some incompatibility with your wireless network.

How to change the print queue name with Lexmark printer?

Is it at all possible to change the print queue name from Lexmark_3500_4500_Series, to something shorter? I try to link printouts from an old Sun Unix system, thru my iMac to the Lexmark X4580 multifunction printer. However, the Sun/Unix will not accept this long print queue name...

Apologies, I misread. The only way I know of changing the Print Queue Name is by readding the printer.
 > System Preferences > Print & Scan > Add
Choose your printer, make sure you change the print queue name to something different (equates to the Printer Name).
When you need to print, simply select the printer you just added.
Once your happy it works, delete the old printer from the list in Print & Scan.

I am not able to print or to do a print preview with firefox 5. The problem happens with my Xerox Laser printer and also with Bullzip PDF printer. All prints are white with the printer and empty with the PDF printer.

Your ISP can only determine that their equipment is responding to ping requests. They can determine nothing about your equipment or if theirs is communicating with it.
Disconnect the Ethernet cable that comes from their equipment and connect it directly to a computer instead of the Extreme. If you can load web pages, it means your Internet connection is working. If not, it's not.
Is your ISP supplying cable Internet? Sometimes it is necessary to reset your ISP's connection by disconnecting their coaxial cable that connects to their modem. Literally unscrew it and leave it detached for a minute or so, then screw it back in again and power up the modem. They call this a "full reset". I don't know how it differs from simply powering down the modem, but I have confirmed that on rare occasions doing this will reset a recalcitrant connection.
... however the internet bars are present on the desktop and also indicated I was connected to the internet.
The Wi-Fi icon "bars" show that a connection to a wireless network has been established. It conveys no information about an Internet connection that lies beyond your local network. Option-click that menu and select "Open Wireless Diagnostics..." Authenticate with your Admin name and password and click the Continue button.

How to print boderless photos with 6525 printer from Windows 7

Regardless of whatever setting I use with the 'Advanced' print menu in Windows or within Adobe Photoshop Elements 10, I STILL get a border around every print. I've even set 'Custom print size' in Photoshop to the full 7 x 5"- and the on-screen preview image shows the paper size correctly filled without a border - but the printer still gives a border, like it or not!
HELP!!!

Hello Suffolkman,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are trying to print a 5x7 borderless photo with the Photosmart 6525, but it will not despite the setting you have entered.
The 5x7 paper does support borderless, I was able to print one fine. You mentioned applying this under the Advanced setting, was this the area?
If not, you can access this by right clicking on the printer from Devices and Printers, then Printer Preferences.
Have you tried to print the photo from Windows Photo Viewer?
Also, the HP Print and Scan Doctor is a great to you can utilize to ensure the drivers and software are functioning as they should.

Tried to print from ipad4 with wifi printer. Saying can't find air printer. Printer on and it has printed previously.

Tried to print from my ipad 4 but saying can't find air printer. It has printed before.

Sharonanthony-
First, try double-clicking your Home button. A row of recent Apps will line up along the bottom of the screen. Scroll across and look for the Print Center icon. If it is there, you should be able to delete any print job that might be hanging it up.
If you can access the internet, then you should have a good connection to a printer that is using the same WiFi. If you do not have your normal connection to the internet, then I suggest you unplug your WiFi router for a few seconds. Then reset the iPad's network at Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings. You will need to reconnect the iPad to WiFi.

2010 i7 Won't boot from cd with new ssd drive.

I have an ssd that was in my windows pc that I want to use with my MBP. My PC motherboard actually supports uefi so to my surprise when I put it in the mac it booted right to windows. I wanted to boot from dvd and install osx on the drive but the boot stalls out whenever I try to boot from cd.
I took the drive out and hooked it up to a drive dock I have connected to my Mac Mini. I used disk utility and repartitioned the drive to one partition. Now when I option boot I no longer see the ssd, only the cd.
I tried booting from and external cd drive I have. It would start. I can hear the cd spinning up but after 2 mins or so it stops and nothing happens. Same as the internal dvd.
I put the old hdd back in and thought I'd try the boards to see if anyone else has any ideas.
Am I missing something obvious?

Try this first:
Reset SMC - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Reset Pram - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
If not try using an external sata to usb connector and erase the SSD completely. The SSD honestly should not have an effect on the super drive. There may be more underlying hardware issues. Try resetting those two up top then erase the SSD drive. Try a retail disc for Snow Leopard. Bring it to an ARS and see if they can boot into an optical media...
