Postscript issue - garbage character

Hi all,
I would like some clarification on what steps I should be following to prevent Photoshop CS3 from printing numerous ASCII garbage characters in OSX.
At my workplace we have around 40+ macs that have just been replaced. We've just upgraded to 10.5 OSX & have CS3 installed.
I've noticed on several threads that my issue is quite common.
(http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bc47348) (http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b4ecb6)
While these threads detail numerous fixes, it is really unorganised. The methods I followed came to no avail.
So I'll present to you guys some details of what is going on and hopefully someone can guide me what to do next.
The printer with the issue is a black and white HP 8100DN printer (very old).
Photoshop CS3 will print text based work without any issues with this printer. However it will not print correctly if any images are included and instead will print numerous garbage characters. Camino, acrobat & other applications have no issue printing text or images.
My assumption is that there is nothing wrong server side if other applications can easily print. So I updated one of the client printing drivers and I messed around with some photoshop printing configuration. Most of the settings seemed irrelevant so I played with the print encoding, trying ASCII, binary and jpeg. None worked when printing images.
Then I tried photoshop in Rosetta which worked great - however we upgraded the imacs recently because of complaints of performance so this isn't ideal. For the mean time I've advised the students & staff here to export their data to *pdf/*jpg/*whatever and open it in acrobat to print.

Jacob,

This would indicate that your system upgrades broke your printer driver, even if only PS CS3 is problematic. Unfortunately, as the printer is very old, there may not be a current, compatible driver for it.
Check with HP and ask the same question. Also, maybe someone in the Forums knows of compatible third-party drivers that will work. Meantime, your best option might be .pdf or .jpg files for printing. Or a new printer.

  • ECC6.0 - PDF issue - Junk Character output after Upgrade from 4.7c

    Hi All,
    I am working in Uprgade project(from 4.7c Non-unicode system to ECC6.0 unicode system).
    We are facing PDF output issue in ECC6.0 that means we are getting junk character output(screenshot is attached for your reference).
    In 4.7c , we have stroed the OTF data in table after generated from smartform as we should not get different output in future. Whenever we need output of the same then we are getting the OTF data from that table and we will generate pdf through "Convert_otf" function module.This logic is working fine in 4.7c.
    In ECC6.0 ,the same logic is not working as system is unicode sytem and we are getting junk character output.
    As per my old upgrade project experience , i have used the below piece of code for solve this junk character issue but still I am facing the same issue.
    Kindly note that in my old upgrade project i have regenerated the OTF data in ECC6.0 and used the below piece of code then I got correct output but here I have to use the old OTF data (from table) which was generated in 4.7c.
    Please any one can give solution for this issue.

    Hi,
    as you can see in SAP notes 842767 and 1349413, spool data cannot be converted properly for all types in a Unicode conversion.
    This might be possible if you have English (US7ASCII) characters only, but with Chinese characters I do not think that a small piece of code can do it ...
    Hence I think you need to recreate the data on the Unicode system ...
    Best regards,

  • ID to PDF Postscript Issue

    Having an issue with printing to postscript from ID for a book cover according to the following specifications required by our printer:
    in the Print dialogue box's Color Management section, the Option Color Handling field should be set to "Let InDesign handle the colors" and under Printer Profile, "Document CMYK - US Web Coated" selected.
    However, what I see in the Color Handling field is a choice of "No Color Management" or "Postscript Printer Determines Color" instead of the above.
    If I return to the Output section and change it from "Color: Composite Leave Unchanged" as directed by LSI to "Composite CMYK", then it becomes possible to have the recommended choices back in the Color Management section ("Let InDesign handle the colors" and under Printer Profile, "Document CMYK - US Web Coated" selected.)
    Perhaps this has something to do with the cover's design which utilizes only rich black and white?
    Please advise. Thanks.
    Appreciatively,
    Luca
    And the PDF from my end doesn't appear to have quite the deep blacks when compared with ID's, biut this could be the screen.
    I've analyzed with the Output Reader in Acrobat, and all blacks are showing as 100% and white as 0%.

    First off, are you using Rich Black on the cover, or only 100% K black? That makes a huge difference in the output (and cost). Rich Black is a four-color mix that is darker than you can achieve with 100% K alone. Earlier we were discussing how to make this output to black ink only (and that will not look as dark in print as a rich black). I had advised you to set the Appearance of Black prefefence to output all blacks as rich black for printing to PDF using composite grayscale, I probably also should have told you to set it to display all blacks accurately ID to render 100% K somewhat lighter than real rich blacks, so if you haven't done that on your own, it would probably account for the differnce you see on screen inthe PDF and ID.
    If you are using RICH black, you don't want to output as composite gray, and the setting for outputting blacks becomes irrelevant. It also becomes irrelevant IF you output to composite CMYK or Composite Leave Colors Unchanged AND the only color on the page is [Black] or some tint of [Black] (i.e any art is either bitmap mode or grayscale, or CMYK with empty CMY channels) and anything added in ID uses only the [Black], [Paper] or [None] swatches AND you do not add automatic printer marks. In that case you will generate a PDF with nothing in the CMY channels, and a digital printer should recognize it as black-only. For traditional press the printer will simply not output the blank plates.

  • Report exported into excel contains garbage character but is good in PDF

    Issue
    Report exported via CrystalReportViewer (integrated via JSP) into Excel or Word format contains garbage characters.
    Based on investigation, following observation was gathered:
    1. CrystalReportViewer, PDF - Good
    2. CrystalReportViewer, Excel - Bad
    3. CrystalReportViewer, Others - Bad
    4. InfoViewer, PDF - Good
    5. InfoViewer, Excel - Good

    Appreciate if anyone could provide any clue which part in the integration could have gone wrong.
    Thank you.

    Another way that might work is to remove all extra characters and whitespace outside of the <% %> tags from the jsp page that contains the viewer.
    e.g.
    Not Correct
    <% some code %>
    <% some more code %>
    Correct
    <% some code %><% some more code %>
    (Line feeds and whitespace count too)

  • CFMail Attachment Issue (410 character limit)

    My company is in the process of upgrading from CF5 to CFMX7
    (v7.0.2). While testing the new version our test environment, I've
    discovered an issue (that didn't exist in CF5) regarding email
    attachments. I've scoured the internet looking for users who might
    have run into this issue and haven't found any.
    Here's the problem that shows up when using CFMX7. Emails
    that have attached files that have lines of code that are longer
    than 410 characters per line have the lines broken apart with a
    newline character.
    So for example if code in a file originally looked like this,
    <font face='courier new' size=-2>
     &nbspLIFE  MED  (line
    continues out to over 600 chacters)...
    </font>
    The received file would have code that looked like this,
    <font face='courier new' size=-2>
     &nbspLIFE  MED  (line
    continues out to just 410 chacters, then breaks to a new line)...
    bsp; &nbspLIFE   
    </font>
    Notice that the non-breaking space characters starting the
    second line have been chopped off.
    This causes an issue because the files we are attaching to
    the emails are bills (formatted in html) that uses a lot of
    non-breaking space ( ) characters for formatting purposes.
    Most of the lines of code are greater then 410 characters wide, and
    once the the   characters start to get broken apart, they
    end up displaying in a browser.
    Things I've tried that haven't helped.
    1) Changing the Default CFMail Charset from UTF-8 to US-ASCII
    2) Using the cfmailparam tag instead of the mimeattach
    attribute
    3) Applied hot fix hf702-65414 (which was for an issue
    regarding email spooling)
    Does anyone know how I would prevent the line break issue in
    CFMX7?
    I figured I'd ask around in a few newsgroups before we
    started spending money on support from Adobe.
    Thanks,
    Wayne Barca

  • Issues with Character Pallete after latest PS CS6 update

    Since the latest update earlier this week, I've experienced major issues with the character palette - particularly the point size and tracking. The tracking issue is by far the greater of these two evils and the following explains the issues I've observed:
    tracking - the number you type isn't the number used to set the tracking. The slider and up/down arrows do not remedy this problem, though they make it slightly more predictable. The number that appears seems random, though I've noticed a pattern in some instances (typing 20 sets tracking 18, typing 40 sets it 36, typing 60 sets it 54, and so on). This issue also appears to be connected to free transforming a text layer, so the pattern is possibly based on the percentage of scaling.
    font size - the number you type works if size is increased in small increments to a certain point. Then it max's out, and this error appears repeatedly (after ok is clicked the error pops back up)
    I've searched the web for resolutions to the issue and haven't found anything. This is what I've tried and none of it worked to any lasting degree:
    - set units to pixels in preferences and restart photoshop
    - set units back to points in preferences and restart photoshop
    - restart photoshop and pc (several times)
    - shut down photoshop and pc (several times)
    - unplug pc and discharge static

    I dont know the the below link. But if you go to Photoshop .com feedback. And go to Topics>Problems and sort by most recent, these text bug topics should be on that page. (I created the last one "Scrubby Leading Bug")
    Text layer inconsistent property values (new in 13.0.5 / 13.0.1.2)

  • Issue with character formats using duplex printing in smartform

    Hi all,
    I am getting a problem with character formats using duplex printing in smartform. I am using a text module with a bold character to display text in a window. The problem is that on the first back page,the text is being printed normally (without bold), but on the next pages, the back pages are being printed with the bold character format.
    Can anyone know where is the problem..please.
    Points to be rewarded..
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Zaheed.

    Hi Zaheed,
    Normally this should not happen.. and also there is no internal formatting done by SAP.. it will show based on what fomatting option we have specified..
    If you are saying it is happening in ur case then
         1. Recheck whether whether you have same text module getting printed on the
             two page. If they are different then then individual check formatting option for
             each..
          2. If above point does'nt work for you ..then instead of bold char use normal
              format for text element and see if it is printing same on both page..
    Try this out and let us know your findings...
    Enjoy SAP.

  • Issue Migrating Character Data Using a Full Export and Import

    Hi There;
    I have a database in my local machine that doesn't support Turkish characters. My NLS_CHARACTERSET is WE8ISO8859P1, It must be changed to WE8ISO8859P9 , since it supports full Turkish characters. I would like to migrate character data using a full export and import and my strategy is as follows:
    1- create a full export to a location in network,
    2- create a new database in local machine that it's NLS_CHARACTERSET is WE8ISO8859P9 (I would like to change NLS_LANGUAGE and NLS_TERRITORY by the way)
    3- and implement full import to newly created database.
    I 've implemented first step, but I couldn't implement the second step. I 've created the second step by using toad editor by clicking Create -> New Database but I can not connect the new database. I must connect new database in order to perform full import. How can I do this?
    Thanks in advance.
    Technical Details
    NLS_LANGUAGE.....................AMERICAN
    NLS_TERRITORY.....................AMERICA
    NLS_CURRENCY.....................$
    NLS_ISO_CURRENCY..............AMERICA
    NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS    .,
    NLS_CHARACTERSET.............WE8ISO8859P1
    NLS_CALENDAR.....................GREGORIAN
    NLS_DATE_FORMAT................DD-MON-RR
    NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE...........AMERICAN
    NLS_SORT...............................BINARY
    NLS_TIME_FORMAT.................HH.MI.SSXFF AM
    NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT......DD-MON-RR HH.MI.SSXFF AM
    NLS_TIME_TZ_FORMAT............HH.MI.SSXFF AM TZR

    NLS_DUAL_CURRENCY............ $
    NLS_COMP...............................BINARY

    NLS_NCHAR_CONV_EXCP........FALSE
    NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET...AL16UTF16
    NLS_RDBMS_VERSION............10.2.0.1.0

    First, if your applications run on Windows, do not use WE8ISO8859P9. Use TR8MSWIN1254.
    Second, if you create a new database, the database is not necessarily immediately accessible to outer world. I do not know Toad and I have no idea if it performs all necessary steps required for the new database to be visible.  For example, in the Toad itself, I assume you should create a new connection that references the new SID of the newly created database and use this new connection to connect. However, connections without a connection string use the ORACLE_SID setting in Registry to tell connecting applications which instance (database) to use.  To change the database accessed with an empty connection string you need to modify Registry (unless Toad has an option to do this for you). If you want to connect without changing Registry, you need a connect string. This requires setting up Oracle Listener to serve the new database (unless default configuration is used and the database registers itself with the default listener). It also requires changing tnsnames.ora file to create an alias for the new database. Net Manager and/or Net Configuration Assistant can help you with this.
    I wonder if Database Configuration Assistant would not be a better tool to create new Oracle databases.
    Thanks,

  • Strange issue, garbage text appearing curve 8520

    ItrrtiTjffhdgfwfWtETeeeTyl11/14/2010Uu
    Any idea at all what this is???

    so anytime you press "i", all that garbage text appears?
    Check your Options > AutoText and see if you have some odd entry for the letter "i".

  • Anyone having issues enabling Character Count in ios6?

    I noticed today on my iPhone 5 when I enable character count, Settings-Messages-Character Count (ON), it doesn't work? Anyone notice this? Bug?

    Thanks. You're right! I could swear I checked to see if the regular texts were working before.
    90% of my friends and coworkers apparently have iPhones so this explains why I didn't notice it working.
    To see the character count you have to start a new line too.

    Hi Zaheed,
    Normally this should not happen.. and also there is no internal formatting done by SAP.. it will show based on what fomatting option we have specified..
    If you are saying it is happening in ur case then
         1. Recheck whether whether you have same text module getting printed on the
             two page. If they are different then then individual check formatting option for
             each..
          2. If above point does'nt work for you ..then instead of bold char use normal
              format for text element and see if it is printing same on both page..
    Try this out and let us know your findings...
    Enjoy SAP.
