Poor printing java 1.5

Hi,
I have a problem with printing on java 1.5 on XP. Everything was fine on 1.42, but now the printing stops after a few pages and the text looks poor. There is no error message when the printing stops early.
My swing application has several tabbed panes each of which is added to a Book. Each tab is scaled to fit on the page and is printed on a separate page. Each page will print separately but the text still looks bad. Even removing the scaling doesn�t help the text.
I disable the double buffering before printing.
I have tried a few different printers and also changing heap sizes �Xmx to 1g but get the same results.
Any ideas on how I can resolve theses problems?
Thanks

Hi Phil,
thanks for the reply , i have tried your suggestion but got some mixed results.
Using jre1.5.0_09, the text looks a bit better but still not as good 1.42. The number of paint calls is down to 35. I have noticed some random crashes whn trying to print a book of 12 pages or the printing stops after a few pages. A couple of times it printed the whole book.
Here is the error log from 1 of the crashes

HP LaserJet 2600n poor print quality/streaking

I am the original owner of an HP LJ 2600n with a poor print quality/streaking issue. The poor print quality occurs with any and all paper that I use (currently Hammerhill 20# stock) and occurred with Windows XP and Windows 7. The print cartidges are all genuine HP and changing them does not make any difference. I have cleaned the front door roller with no improvement. My firmware version is 20070716. The black cartridge is at 33%; yellow 75%; cyan 91% and magenta 91%...
Any advice would be appreciated. An example of the output is attached below:

Hi everyone,
I have resolved my problem. I took a leap and purchased a new toner cartridge, and the new catridge works great. Installed it yesterday and the test page comes out clean, clear and with no double image. I'm happy.
Apparently the printer had not had a print item sent to it in over a year. I think that was actually hard on the toner cartridge.
Tthanks to everyone for their help via private emails!

L7780 poor print quality after not using for 6 months

Poor print quality after not using my printer for about 6 months. Ran thru the tools (clean printhead, aligh, etc . . .) didn't help. Replaced all chartridges, still no help.
I'm fairly tech savy, been in IT for 27 years starting with hardware support.
Question, can I manually clean the printheads or should I just replace. I would rather try to clean them manually after just shelling out > $ 170 on new chartridges.
thanks
Brent

Hi @Brentl
Yes, you can clean the printhead and the inside of the printer. The following document will help; 'The Following Printheads are Missing or Damaged, Replace the Printhead' Message Displays on the All....

Poor print quality through photoshop CS 6 using HP 7520

Hi Im having poor print quality (muddy) dense, I might not have the proper color management or printer profile loaded on the HP 7520. using Windows 7 (64) bit.
Thanks
Bill

Well, I guess it is all about the paper.
I started using Premium Ink Jet paper which cleaned up the printing a great deal. Standard quality settings now produce just faint imperfections but higher quality settings eliminate them entirely.
One of those "you get what you pay for" issues I guess.

New B209a has poor printing on every third line. Prints pictures ok.

new B209a has poor printing on every third line. Prints pictures ok .Have all new ink and ran alingment and print head cleaning

Sorry that you are having a problem printing documents. Try to print a self test page or printer status report from the printer itself, and see if you get the same results.
Also try to make a copy of a document, and see if the poor printing continues.
Have you MANUALLY cleaned the print head? If you can take the print head out, clean with lint free cloth and water.

C4180 poor print quality

I've had my c4180 for a couple of years without any problems but the image print quality is now starting to deteriorate. When printing images on normal paper I usually print at maximum dpi but the quality is quite poor with white lines across the images. I've tried cleaning the print cartridges many times but it makes no difference. I've taken out the colour cartridge and given it a clean as recommended but still no improvement. There is just under half of the colour ink left so it's not because I'm running low either.
It's looking like I will need to buy a new printer which I really didn't want to have to do as it works perfectly apart from this.
Can anyone suggest anything?
Thanks in advance.

Ink has a limited life span. It is sad, I know. The ink in the printer may just be "old" beyond it's actual age.
I have an old J6480 that I use only occasionally -- it is such a good printer that I keep it in spite of the fact that I might have to change out the cartridges more frequently than when the unit actually runs out of ink.
You might change out the cartridges so you are not coating the insides of the printer with the old ink.
If you are not going to use the printer very often, it does seem to help to keep it stored in a cabinet: dark and enclosed where there is not an abundance of light, dust, dampness, or temperature differences. I keep the J6480 in a cabinet on the other side of the house and use it wirelessly about every six months.
You may have to re-run the cleaning operation a couple of times after you do change the ink; change out the cartridges, test, and then decide.

Poor print quality with Epson Photo R265 - Please help

I am changing over from Windows to Mac and finding it 'challenging' - it's me; not the mac (which I love)I'm sure, so any help would be much appreciated.
My problem is: when I plugged my usb into the mac it instantly recognised my printer but when I printed a photo from iPhoto the quality was very poor with faded colours and faint lines.
I went hunting for an answer, and convinced I'd found it, I downloaded the latest drivers from Epson but on reprinting...exactly the same problems.
The on-screen quality is superb but on paper it's poor.
I'd really appreciate any suggestions or help. I'm not at all knowledgeable when it comes to computers.
thank you
Caroline

Both programs print very poorly. Either light and faded or streaker, or if I change the settings, very dark. Both useless. Frustrated I tried the same pics on Picassa on my Windows notebook. Quality was excellent. Put Picassa on the iMac and it now works great - in Picassa. how can that be?

Poor printing quality

Have downloaded the trial version of Aperture to test. When printing I am getting poor quality prints, as well as seeing horizontal lines approx 1cm apart all the way down the photo. Have just printed the same photo with iPhoto with no problems. I am using a brand new Canon pixma ip4500.
Any idea why this might be?

Horizontal lines? Make sure you have the right print settings and paper settings on your printer.
That sounds a LOT like you have the paper type set to plain paper, or have it set to draft mode, or something.

PSE7 Editor Poor Print Quality

I am printing to an HP Laserjet 1200, monochrome. It is not an inkjet. When I upload a picture, it prints fine from the Organizer. When I then open it with Editor, and print to the same printer (without making any changes to the image), I get the message "Some PostScript print settings... will be ignored since you are printing to a non-PostScript printer." The Laserjet is non-PostScript. It then prints, however the quality is poorer. This same image will print with good quality using the Windows XP Picture and Fax Viewer, so it seems Editor specific. The Editor window says it is printing at 306 PPI, which seems adequate.
I can find no options in PE7 that might cause this difference between Editor and Organizer printing.
Is there something I should be looking at in options?

CP1025nw, repeptetive smudges, poor print quality, pushing toner button does nothing.

I haven't used this printer in a couple of years, so I sense some of my issues might be related to that. First up, the print quality is quite poor. Despite having a new black toner cartridge, the B&W printing isn't very strong; it's blotchy in some areas with random spots in others. Second, there are repeating color splotches all over the place. I've attached a photo. Third, pressing any of the toner buttons does nothing, no beeps, blinks, or movement. So far, the only things I've tried was toreplace the black toner cartridge and blow out the interior of the machine with compress air. I also removed the drum and gave that a quick and careful cleaning.. Any thoughts?

Get.print java issue

I created a PDF form that contained a button with the action of Run Java Script. the purpose was to preselect a deginated printer for the end-user. All worked well until Adobe Reader X. In Reader X, the printer is ignored and selects the users default printer. Below is the script. Has anyone had this issue or discovered a solution?
var pp = this.getPrintParams();
pp.printerName ="\\\\Print1\\wi-am-ptr2";
this.print({bUI:false,bSilent:false,bShrinkToFit:true,nStart:2,nEnd:2,printParams:pp});

Need to print Java Bean contents

Working on Oracl 9i Designer but 10g database.
I have a Form in which I have a bean. I need to print the contents (text) from this bean. Any ideas ?? Cannot use WebUtil.
Thanks
2963121

My knowledge is all in Forms. I have added the Java ean example for the Graph and need to print this, but bear ini mind i have merely attached this ready made example provided by oracle. What program do i use and how do i print this graph. Using th Java code you provided for printing does this need to be done within the Java bean or can i do it within Forms?
This is our first look at a bean so we have limited knowledge, but want to incorporate the graph into our form.

Poor printing results

Pesky problem: prints too dark and colors lack saturation.
Have been printing on an Epson Artisan 50 with good results. Have added a new R2880. Both print with the same poor results NOW.
Use OS Mavericks, a 2-year-old iMac calibrated with Color Munki, custom ICC profiles for both printers, and PS 2014. Workroom is fairly dark with medium tan walls and 2 ‘Ott’ lights behind monitor.
Have made the following adjustments to see if I can find a solution:
•   With monitor have tried luminance of 80 and 120.
•   With monitor have tried white points of 55 and 65.
•   Have let PS and printer handle color.
•   Have converted color space from ProPhoto to sRGB and back again.
•   Have used 2 different packs of Epson Luster- both new.
I do view prints under the daylight corrected Ott lights and I take them outside in the sunlight to see if they're dark. And they still are! Wondering if somewhere I’m making a simple rookie mistake? I’ve followed both J. Schewe’s and the Digital Dog’s instructions as best I know how. How do you check that the driver settings are correctly configured? How do you check the output profile setting?
Any help is much appreciated.

Aperture really wants to manage colour during printing.
One common problem seems to be having your printer (driver) set to colour management, and then Aperture doing it as well. (This is probably not the only problem...)
One of the O'Reilly Inside Aperture Podcasts, with Joe Schorr, covers this very issue.

Pretty printing Java in Studio 4

ctrl-shift-f
Pretty prints your Java code but wrapping on line continuations aren't indented.
myFunction(param1,
param2,
param3)
Is there a way to change this? We have lots of programmers with a variety of styles and the customer requires all code to use the same style. So if there was a simple way to standardize the code in a correct way it would be appreciated. No time to get all coders to same standard.
thanks in advance

Sorry for posting in this Forum.
I'll post it in the installation forum.
But, hey, feel free to help me!!!! :)

Print java api

Can anyone give me an example of how to write simple text to a printer on an NT platform.
I have tried input and outputstreams, outputstreams and now i try strings. I always get invalid flavor but when i check the supported flavors the flavor is supported.

What I want is that I can send the text from the memory straight to the printer. Without the use of a temp file.
Thx.

I have changed the flavor to AUTOSENSE but it doesn't print. The strange this is that the paper comes out when somebody else uses that printer to print a document. Did I forget something to do?
