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.

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!

Red prints from PS CS5 on Epson 2200

Printing problem on Epson 2200 from PS CS5, version 12.1 and from LR 3.6, running Mac 10.7.5. Prints are severely red cast, the way I remember them to look before I learned to shut off the printer driver. This is not just a little variation in color, but weird red prints. After contaccting Epson and printing successfully from Preview, they said it was an Adobe problem and I should contact Adobe. Epson said it is also happening with the 3880. Until very recently I have always had satisfactory prints. The issue started last night and I can't resolve it.

Your Photoshop preferences. Use the shortcut keys to delete the preferences as your starting Photoshop. I do not know if Photoshop store preferences for devices in its preferences. I do know that Photoshop stores print information in saved documents and also accesses device information the it may save in its preferences. I know on my Windows machines I had red tinging problems on my Epson 4800 which was solved by resetting my Photoshop Preferences.

Can't print from PS CS5 (CS5 switches to Preview)

When trying to print a photo in PhotoShop CS5, I select the right printer (Epson Stylus Photo 280), and then "Print." But instead of printing the photo, CS5 switches to Apple's "Preview." I can then print the photo from Preview, but I have never had this problem with PS8. How can I set CS5 so when I want to print a photo it won't switch to another application?
I can always reinstall PS8 and use it to print my photos, but there has to be a way fro CS5 to do what I want it to do. Any ideas?

The reason you are seeing this problem is that you are probably using a device independent profile, such as Adobe RgB foe the printer to fllow when you want the one set for say SP R1900 Premium Glossy if that is the paper you are using.
It is ok to use Adobe RGB for the image profile but when that is assed to the printer driver it has to be then assigned to the paper and devices profile.
Then in the print settings under color matching
Then under print settings
You should now be cooking with gas.
If yu have a different paper go to the manufacturers web site and see if they have a profile for your paper and printer.

Help Printing from Windows 7 to shared printer on Tiger/Mac Mini

UGH! My folks have long been running on a Power PC Mac Mini with Tiger. The Mac has an Epson Stylus CX4200 - works great in this configuration. Unfortunately, we have a need to implement a laptop with Windows 7 running. I'd like to print to the Mac's locally-attached printer from the wirelessly-connected laptop.
Anyone know how to configure windows 7 to print to the shared printer attached to the Mac? Any help, greatly appreciated.
- Brad

Hello Brad,
If you download and install Bonjour for Windows onto the Windows 7 laptop, this will assist you with finding the printer being shared by the Mac.
Note that the web page does not mention Win7 support, but since Vista is supported there should not be an issue.
I also cannot ever remember using it when I had Tiger on a Mac, so not 100% of it functioning correctly (certainly works when printer is shared by 10.5 and 10.6).
In case it doesn't work, you could manually add the printer queue on Win7. The connection used by Bonjour for Windows is IPP and you will need to know the IP address or name of the Mac sharing the printer. You will also need to know the name set for the Epson, which can be found via the Print & Fax pane.
The network queue name on the Win 7 laptop needs to be;
http://maccomputer_name.local:631/printers/PrinterName
or
http://IPaddress_of_mac:631/printers/PrinterName
Then for the Printer Manufacturer and Model you can select the HP Color Laserjet 4550 PS. Don't worry about selecting a PostScript (ie PS) driver. Even though your printer probably does not support PostScript, the Mac will convert the incoming PS spool file into the appropriate format used by the Epson.

I need help printing from my original IPad..I have an Epson printer NX420 "

Can anyone help me figure this out? I want to be able to print from my email and am unable to at this time.

You will need to get an application like Printopia, Print Central, Airport Activator and use it since your printer is not Airprint compatible.

HT4356 Help printing from the ipad with the Canon MG6220

I have the canon mg6220...i can get my imac and iphone 4 to print...but can not get the ipad2 to print to it. It keeps saying "no airprint printers found" Yes it is connected to the same wifi network and yes everything is up to date. At first, the ipad2 didn't have the IOS 5.1 so I thought that was the answer, but I updated it and STILL cannot get it to print. Just keeps saying no airprint printers found.
Any suggestions?

Have you tried to restart your iPad?
Can the iPad use Airprint on other Wi-Fi networks?
Check this article out -> iOS: AirPrint 101
Additional Information
If you are unable to print, or if you see the message "No AirPrint Printers Found"
Verify that the printer:
Has power and is turned on. If it has power, turn the printer off and then on again to see if that resolves the issue.
Is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the iOS device.
Has the latest firmware version installed.
Has paper with enough ink or toner installed.
Is free of any errors displayed on the printer's control panel.
If necessary, consult the printer documentation or contact the printer vendor for help with the above steps.
Notes:
Avoid connecting AirPrint-capable printers to the USB port of Apple AirPort Base Stations or Time Capsules. Doing so can enable traditional AirPort printing from a Mac, but it will not enable AirPrint functions for iOS devices. If you cannot use Wi-Fi networking to connect the AirPrint-capable printer, use an Ethernet connection from the AirPrint-capable printer to the Apple AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule.
Wi-Fi printers can take several minutes to join a Wi-Fi network after being turned on. Ensure that the printer is connected to the Wi-Fi network before attempting to print.

Help printing from iPad to HP printer

Im trying to print from my iPad 3 to an HP officejet 6500 wireless. I don't own a Mac so is there any other way to do this without of course having to buy an AirPrint? From everything I have read to install printopia I need a Mac. What are the HP models with AirPrint?

The 6500 E710a and E710n models support AirPrint - the full list of printer that support AirPrint are on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
Otherwise there is the HP ePrint app which, amongst others, supports the 6500 E709 and E710 models (full list here), and then there are third-party apps such as Print Central For iPad and Print n Share which might work with your printer

Photoshop Help | Printing from Photoshop CS6

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/printing-photoshop1.html

My CS6 has crashed several times due to this issue - and I've barely had it a week or so. Usually it happens when I try to print to a PDF. I think there is a major bug in the program and it happened several months ago after a Windows 7 update - I still had CS4 and my adobe acrobat 9 pro crashed when trying to print to the Adobe PDF printer, it would just lock up the whole system and I would have to do a cold re-boot (hold down the power key). I need this functionality - to be able to print to Adobe PDF printer. What happened with this printers ability? I've seen many posts on this same issue, so I'm curious as to why it hasn't gotten more attention from Adobe. I upgraded to CS6 thinking this would solve the problem, and it hasn't helped, I wouldn't have spent the money if I knew it wasn't going to help. I'm totally bummed out about this.

Can't print from InDesign CS5 under Mountain Lion

After installing MacOS 10.8 InDesign crashes when I try to open the printer configuration in the printing menu. Acrobat crashes immediately when I want to open the print menu. Photoshop prints fine and PDF export in ID also works as well as printing without changing the former printing settings.
In an older discussion I found the hint to delete some language folders in the PPD ressources folder to solve the same problem in CS3 and 4 with Lion. I tried that to but it won't work.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance

as well as printing without changing the former printing settings.
If changing the print settings crashes ID I wonder if you need to delete and reinstall your printers? Testing CS3 I wasn't able to even open the Print dialog without crashing, so deleteing the foriegn language PPDs worked
By default Mountain Lion hides the user Library (you can't see user/Library/Printers). You can get to it via Go>Go to Folder and typing ~/Library

HP laser printer b/w suddenly stopped printing from photoshop

I have a mac 10.6.8, and an HP 1102w, which I got specifically because the ink contains iron oxide which I can fire onto my ceramic sculptures. It has been working fine printing from photshop CS5 for several months. Today I tried to print and got a page of very fine vertical lines down most of the page and various horizontal marks at the top of the page. The same file prints ok on my Canon printer, and files from Preview print fine on the HP. I changed the cartridge, which was getting low, but that didn't help. I closed all the apps and turned off the computer, also unplugged and replugged in the printer. It only doesn't print from photoshop. Please help!

Thank you Michael, but I don't know how to delete the printer driver. Can you walk me through it?

Photoshop CS5 doesn't have same printer presets as other CS5 products

I am trying to print from Photoshop CS5 to a Konica Bizhub c451 printer that uses account tracking and user authentication. But, when attempting to print from photoshop CS5 the printer preset doesn't have the same options (doesn't allow us to put in owner information) as the other CS5 products. For example I am able to print from Illustrator CS5 but not Photoshop CS5. I am also able to print from Photoshop CS3 on the same computer but not CS5. Any ideas?

Yes, post in the Photoshop forum. This forum is for suite specific issues.

Need help. 1st. I don't have internet. 2nd. I was told I could still print from my iPad to my canon MG3520. Can anyone help me? I don't know what operating system I'm using. Thank you for any ideas. If not able to print without internet, please let me know. I can't get my iPad to find my printer. I can go to a friend who has the internet. Thanks again for any help.

You don't need to be connected to the internet to be able to print. But you do need a router so you can connect wirelessly. You could get a portable router.
