Print quality of printing internet coupons is bad
I have HP office jet 4620 and when printing coupons from the internet the bar code area iof coupon is uneven and faded in areas, however the color picture of the product is clear. Also did a printer test page and that is fine. What is the problem?
Hi ginamartin,
Welcome to the HP Support forums. I understand that the bar code of your coupons is printing faded and uneven from your Officejet 4620 printer.
I have included the Fixing Ink Streaks, Faded Prints, and Other Common Print Quality Problems trouble shooting document. Please follow the steps in the order presented.
Regards,

HP D5460 printer. Colors are bad on photo paper.
HP D5460 printer. Colors are bad on photo paper,, OK on plain paper. New genuine HP cartridges. It used to work fine. Have tried aligning print head. Have tried "automatic" and "best" for print quality. Doesn't matter.

MY printer won't print some coupons. I have downloaded the coupon printer but it still wont work. I keep getting a message that says to change my setting so that it won't save the items printed but I can't find that option in the settings anywhere. Suggestions???
where are you printing them from ? I think it should be under system preferences/printing
or under your printer's preferences control panel. If you want a quick solution, take a screenshot of the coupon and print that (command+shift+3) or for a better snapshot command+shift+4..
usually they'd be saved as jpeg's, or bmp's or some kind of pictures. try looking in user/yourname/documents or user/yourname/downloads

I am trying to print redplum coupons and I can't, help. I have updated java, adobe flash, and made sure my printer was set on default. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I have contacted redplum and no one will help.
No Apple response??? Redplum/Valassis will not help either. I searched, using the cups error message and though it is Unbuntu, same error so maybe useful...only problem: details would not display unless I join Unbuntu forum. What a pain to do anything with my Mac or find any help. I honestly regret buying this buggy OS.
Anyway, here is what I found, FYI:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=483415
As the old saying goes: when in doubt, consult the manual. The problem appears to be that I added the printer using the KDE Add Printer Wizard. It was automatically given a "socket" URI instead of an "lpd" one. When I:
- altered the printer settings at http://localhost:631 (the CUPS admin page) as instructed in the manual for the printer, and
- copied the PPD file into a second place on the hard drive (as instructed on ubunutuforums, see the link above)
..everything started working.
It's still slower than windows, but I can live with that
Probably a simple fix. Change the socket I.P. to match the printer I.P. like this:
socket://192.168.1.86:9100. The thing I'm concerned with using socket:// is that AFAIK the printer I.P. must not change. In my case I'm able to assign a static I.P. address to the printer but it's something to consider.
I found that the only thing I needed to do was change socket to lpd (and remove :9100 off the end as well). See Solving Ubuntu printer broken pipe problem (DocuPrint C525A) . BTW thanks for steering me in the right direction - very grateful.
Solving Ubuntu printer “broken pipe” problem (DocuPrint C525A)
Posted on November 25, 2008
Are you having a problem with your printer under the latest versions of Ubuntu (perhaps it worked under an older version)? Are you able to print short documents, but not longer, or more graphics-intensive, documents? (e.g. the unfortunate people at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=625493). Do they sit there as Processing for ages and then switch to Held? If you have the same problem I had the solution I tried may work for you too. Firstly, check your cups error log:
sudo gedit /var/log/cups/error_log
If you see anything like the following, the solution may be simple:
[Job 201] Unable to write print data: Broken pipe
PID 13359 (/usr/lib/cups/backend/socket) stopped with status 1!
System > Administration > Printing and right click on your printer, selecting Properties. Settings > Device URI
If you see something like socket://your_printer_ip_address:9100 just change socket to lpd and remove the :9100 off the end. Then click on apply.
Apparently lpd is a more modern protocol which works with most printers whereas socket is more raw (and potentially faster but riskier in a network situation). Somewhere along the line, the default Ubuntu/Gnome setup for networked printers shifted from lpd to socket. Some primitive printers will have benefited whereas a larger number of more modern printers will have suffered.
Please correct me if I am wrong (which is highly possible) but the underlying problem could be that socket may make the printer wait a long time for a large file to be processed ready for printing. Some printers, such as the Fuji Xerox DocuPrint C525A, may drop the socket if things take too long to start coming through.
Changing timeout settings might work but lpd is better than socket so it is the preferred solution in any case.
If this works for you, please leave a comment to let others know (ideally with a description of the printer and Ubuntu version). Printer may be relevant if it doesn’t support the direct stream protocol properly. NB I may take a while to let your comment through because of the volume of spam. Sorry about that.
Finally, thanks to sphilli8 for the steer in the right direction at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6245626.

Help? iPad to printer for coupons on the go!
I am new to apple other than my iPhone! I have a wi-fi 3G iPad and am getting frustrated as I'm shopping and have forgotten a certain coupon I need. Is there a mini printer I can take on the go so that I can print from iPad while shopping when needed instead of driving back to area 20 miles away! So any suggestions of this is even possible and what apps and what kind of printer would I need? Thx!
I also do not have a clue what AirPrint is? Help????If you are trying to print a coupon while "on the go" then the coupon you speak of must be online somewhere, and not from your newspaper, etc. Being that the case, many places take the coupon scanned right from your ipad/iphone screen (using the barcode #s on the coupon). Otherwise, you could always stop by staples or best buy or office depot and connect to one of their printers and print out the coupon.

Is there an app that allows me to print canadian coupons?
I Bought a wireless printer, and can print emails and such, but when I try to print coupons, it tells me I need Java. I know of the coupon.com app, but doesn't work for me. Help! Getting fustraited!
The Java requirement is common for those coupon printing apps. Java is not supported on the iPad, so you will not be able to print the coupons via that means. I assume that is a version of the app that you are talking about.
http://help.coupons.com/articles/33-How-can-I-print-coupons-from-an-iPhone-or-iP ad
What isn't clear to me is if you need an AirPrint printer in order to do this. It doesn't state that specifically, but it would be the first time that a help site wasn't all that helpful. However, I assume that your printer is an AirPrint printer? If the site above is the site that you are trying to print from/ use for the coupons, describe what happens when you do try to print. You say it doesn't work for you, but some details would be helpful. -
I want to print online coupons. I am receiving a message that say I must download JAVAPOROSX2014-001. How can I do this in a safe secure invironment? I have IMAC desktop.

Hi MayLane03,
Thanks for posting. If you upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion, please try these steps:
1) Go into your Applications folder, then the Coupons folder and run the uninstall.
2) Once the uninstall is complete, drag the Coupons folder to the Trash can.
3) Reboot your system.
4) Go back to Coupons and reinstall the Coupon Printer for Mac.
You should be able to print. If not, please reply here.
Thanks,
Greg

My iPod is up to a 4.1 ios, and it won't update to a 5.1 which I need for some of my apps for school. It keeps saying that my internet connection is bad; but, it works just fine. What do I need to do?
If you get a network timeout error, then disabling the computer's security software duirng the download and update usually resovles that error.
If that is not the error what is the wording of the error message.
Note that only a 3G or 4G iPod can go to iOS 5. A 2G iPod can only go to iOS 4.2.1 -
My iPads Internet is really bad
My iPads Internet is really bad everything else in the house is fine and its not that everything else is is hogging the wifi because it has been fine for ages but all of a sudden it's being really bad, does anyone know why?
What is really bad - slow, drops connection, won't connect, short range? You need to provide specifics if you want an answer.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Recently attended excellent workshop about the Fine Art of Printing with R Mac Holbert and John Paul Caponigro. They indicated printing using iMac computers was difficult. I upgraded to Snow Leopard and now print output quality is so poor that the results are totally usable.
A call to Epson support on December 9th was of no help.
Is there a workaround for this problem? Thanks so much.Re
yes i use and install many new imac , your problem of "colorimetrie" could generaly sovled by
calibrate your screen and use icc profile from printer / scanner manufacturer
mac os software tool to do tha is locate into , app folder -> utility folder -> Colorsync utility
look for it
exemple :
and from system preferences -> monitor -> color , calibrate button

Are you sure that Firefox gets the plugins from the ~/.mozilla/plugins directory and not from another location.
Did you try to place the symlink in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins ?
See [[Troubleshooting plugins]] on how to see the path of all plugins. -
gohollywood.com, register, message came back from Hollywood Insider with a link to click on to "Download Coupon". Click on link and you should get the coupon and you print it out. All my friends have done it but I can't. I get various error messages including : "HTTP error 400 - the request is badly formed".... or you have a blocker set.....
Unless it is a Gmail/Firefox blocker or firewall, I don't have anything set up as a blocker on my email. Had a few friends go in my account on their computers and they had the same thing happen. However when they go in under their names they get to the link with no problems. HELP.Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") -

Since Firefox updated to 3.6.12, Ctrl+P no longer works and I can't print my coupons.
When I want to print something from the internet, I press ctrl P and a sign comes up saying, "An unknown error occured while printing. For most things I can copy and paste into WORD and print the information I want. However, this does not work for coupons as they have to be in the format they appear on the screen.
leapfrog100,
Sorry you are having that printing problem with Firefox and your Canon printer. The objective of doing the '''reset''' is to clear out all the settings for a printer in Firefox, and the next time you go to use that printer in Firefox, it is supposed to pull fresh preferences for Firefox from the printer software.
That '''reset''' article does say that it may be necessary for you to reset all the prefs for the printer with the problem. When you clear those prefs and restart Firefox, they should be gone until you attempt to use that printer again - those prefs are supposed to re-appear when a printer is used the first time after the reset.
Other than checking to make sure you are using the latest Cannon drivers for that printer, I don't know what else to suggest. And, I don't know who to refer you to for further help with your problem.
I can say that Canon printers seem to generate more than their fair share of printing complaints with Firefox, and Canon printers seem to have more than their fair share of Bug reports at Bugzilla. That along with all the unresolved Bugs in Firefox makes it hard to know which program is more at fault with problems like this, the Canon print drivers or Firefox. Personally, I have never had a problem with Firefox not printing with any of the three Epson printers I have had in the time I have used Firefox ''(starting in 2002)'' or with either of the two Brother printers I currently have.
