Printer self tests good, clear. But, printed documents are dim and streaked

After cleaning cartridges I ran printer self tests, etc. Everything at that point is great. But, when I print a document the print is dim and every other line only partially prints. Any suggestions as to cause of my problem and how to fix?

Hi @Threep,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It's possible that the tests are putting forth a composite black or something of that nature.
Can you please perform a Black Copy and a Color Copy and let me know how those pages look?
Let me know and we'll go from there

What operating system? Reader version?

I am using Adobe Photshop Elements 11, I just transferred all of my data from an old computer to a new computer, all my pictures and documents transferred fine but, my albums are missing and the date and time that is usually under the picture are missing.

Hi,
Which operating system are you running on?
The date & Time can be displayed by going to the View menu and checking Details - also File Names if you want them displayed.
The Album information is saved within the catalog so it sounds as though you didn't do a catalog backup on the old computer and a catalog restore on the new computer which is the recommended way of transferring elements data. Did you just copy the photos over?

Printed documents are missing letters on left side of page

Having problems with a printed document. The left side of the document is missing the first few letters of each line.

The option appears when you choose PRINT. You get a window with a preview of the document at the right and options on the left. Take a good look, the name might be slightly different. The options are important, get to know them.

PCI-6221 fails self-test in MAX but device manager says it's working

Hi everyone,
I bought a few PCI-6221 (37-pin) data acquisition cards and have been able to get one to work but 3 others don't work.
Device Manager sees them and says they work. MAX sees them and when I run Self Test, they fail with error number
-50002. Motherboards in non-working systems are PC Chips M957G and P25G. OS is Windows XP Pro with SP2.
I already tried uninstalling SW and the board, reinstalling SW and the
board...autodetect etc works fine. I even reformatted
the HD on one of the computers and reinstalled the OS. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance. Halden

Thanks Tom for your suggestion to try NI-DAQ 8.0. I just saw it today. Yesterday,
I was able to isolate 3 PCI-6221-37 boards as defective because they all wouldn't work in another computer while
one other identical model card did work in that same computer. I called to arrange to return them to NI and learned
that for these 3, I needed NI-DAQ 8.0. The fourth one was okay
with NI-DAQ 7.5. Apparently, this was a known problem.
I wish NI would have simply notified me that my boards would
not work with the software sent with them and sent the NIDAQ 8.0 CD as soon as they knew rather than have me
waste a day of my engineering time trying to figure it all out. Booo NI.
One of the boards has worked for almost a day under NIDAQ 8.0. I was able to make some progress on the
system I am building. But then it stopped working. LabVIEW
(version 7.0 executable) programs would not open completely
or would open slowly. One that accessed the COM port only (no
data acquisition) did work. MAX opened very slowly or not at all
and when I click on
Devices and Interfaces, the hourglass is up for a long time and finally the + icon goes away indicating that MAX is not
aware of any devices being present. The Windows Device Manager says the board is present and working. Windows
Task Manager lists LabVIEW Runtime and MAX when only MAX is open and indicates that MAX is Not Responding.
I shut down the computer, removed the PCI-6221 board, booted it up again, and MAX is the same way. I uninstalled
MAX and NI-DAQ LabVIEW 7.0 support and then reinstalled them.
Now the MAX loading window is up for more than a minute and NIMAX.exe is listed in Task Manager's processes. After
the first minute, LabVIEW Runtime appears in the Task Manager's
Applications list. After a while longer, the MAX window finally
opens
and MAX is listed in the Applications. I click on the + icon by Devices and Interfaces in MAX and the hourglass appears
and Windows Task Manager says MAX is Not Responding. Eventually, the + icon and the hourglass go away and
the Task Manager lists LabVIEW Runtime and MAX as Running.
I shut the computer off for several minutes, started it up again, and MAX is still takes a long, long time to open.
I haven't put the PCI-6221 card back in because MAX still isn't working.
What do you suggest I do next?
Thanks
Halden

How do I restore playlist folders from iPod classic to iTunes? The library is intact, but the playlists are not and I don't want to rebuild them from scratch!

After reformatting my HD and reimporting all songs back into iTunes succesfully, the playlist folders are gone and I don't want to rebuild them from scratch. How do I restore playlists from iPod classic to iTunes 11.1.3 without resorting to 3rd party options?

I actually tried that in "my computer" by renaming the drive and then got this:
g-raid (F:) (H:)
then after reading your reply realized I should try renaming it in "disk management" and hey! it worked.
Thanks a lot for the advice.
Now I don't understand why my back-up drive isn't automatically adding the files when I import into the Ex-HD but I'll figuree it out.

HP officejet pro 8100 not printing documents when asked, and slow to respond.

My Officejet Pro 8100 has allways been used wireless. It allways had a lag when asked to print and producing the document. Often the unable to connect to printer message comes up, then shortly latter it started to print.
We have now switched to Vergin Media ISP. The printere was set up to the new network as before no problem. The router is lacated downstairs by by our TV where the cable enters the house. Our 2 pc's are now wireless due to this (one windows XP and one Windows 7). Then there's Ipads etc.
Conectivity is not a problem the pcs are located in our study with the printer upstairs. My Ipad works in the Garden so theres plenty of range. All devices are on the same conection.
The problem with slow printing is now worse. Ask to print and often nothing happens. Switch printer off/on and it may print the last comand of not. It may accept the next command to print or not. Indescrimnently it may print 'misssed prints' at any time.
Basically it cannot be relied on to print when asked to, really frustrating!! The printers wireless indicator is lit its conected to the network. Any ideas as this is a real pain. Remote printing from a phone is a no go as it probably wont happen.
We need to print and it happen.

Hello @Ants9,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I would like to assist you today with resolving the slow printing issue that you're experiencing with your networked HP Officejet Pro 8100 ePrinter from your Windows computers and other devices. I understand that this issue began with your original router and now is occuring with your new network. I am going to run you through some troubleshooting steps below to resolve this issue.
Step 1: Run Print and Scan Doctor:
To verify that your printer is properly detected on your Windows XP and Windows 7 computers I would like you to download and run the HP Print and Scan Doctor Tool. This Tool will run on your computers and 'fix printing' issues for you. Should any driver, connection, or software conflict be found than the HP Print and Scan Doctor Tool will attempt to resolve those conflicts for you.
Please click here to download the HP Print and Scan Doctor Tool. Please download this Tool on your Windows XP and Windows 7 computers.
Once the Tool has completed, please test printing again. Should the issue persist, please proceed to the next step.
Step 2: Powercycle Network:
First, unplug the power cable to your Router
Once your Router is unplugged, turn off your printer
Next, shut down your computer
After 30 seconds to 1 minutes, plug your Router back in
Next, turn on your printer
Turn on the computer
After a few minutes the internet connection will return. Please check on your Windows computers and ensure that you're able to browse to websites before continuing. Once the network is up and running again please test printing to check the printing speeds.
Should the issue persist, please proceed to the next step.
Step 3: Update Firmware:
There is chance that corrupted programming in your printer could be causing the slow printing issue. Therefore, I am going to have you update the Firmware Version on your printer.
Please click here to download the latest programming on your printer. Once the website opens select the Download button on the top left. Follow any onscreen instructions to send the Firmware Update to the printer. This update can be run from either the Windows XP or Windows 7 computers.
Please test printing again to verify if everything is now working as it should be.
Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. I look forward to hearing from you!

Printed documents are being scaled to 50%

Whenever I print from my MBP C2D, documents printed ar scaled down about 50%. Can't figure out how. I use a Canon iP4300 and have removed and redone setup a few times. I have another, identical MBP for which this issue doesn't occur. I have check to see that 8.5"x11" letter paper size is selected and it is. I'm running the latest OS on both machines BTW. What am I overlooking?

Hi breeze29
On the menu bar File see if *Page Setup* has scaling set to 50%. If it is set at 100% then check the setting in the word processor application that you are using that created the document.

PDF documents are blank but epub documents are not

Hello All;
I have an install of ACS 4. Installed on the following.
Linux version 2.6.28.1-xxxx-std-ipv4-32 ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.3.2 (Debian 4.3.2-1) ) #2 SMP Fri Jan 30 09:55:02 UTC 2009
I have a production license and I am able to fulfill books - both epub and PDF.
However, when I attempt to download/view the books in Adobe Digital Editions, the PDF files are blank. I should mention that the PDF files that are blank, are PDFs that I grabbed from public domain sites (archive.org). The epub documents that I grabbed from the same source, work find in Adobe Digital Editions.
I would also add that the sample books that are included with Adobe Content Server work just fine. So, I am to assume that there is something 'wrong' with the PDFs that I have.
Anyone see this before? Anyone know where I could look for answers?
Thanks much.
Glen

Digital Editions supports essentially the PDF/A profile (plus some extras see the FAQ at http://www.adobe.com/products/digitaleditions/faq/ for the full list). The most commonly noticed thing that is missing compared to the current PDF 1.7 spec is JPEG2000 support.
What happens when you view these files in Digital Editions before your package them?

I have a workflow that is creating a documentset when an item is created, but no documents are in the docset, please help...

Hi Everyone,
So I have
an InfoPath form that when it is created a SharePoint designer workflow is
kicked off that creates a document set in another library, the issue I am
having is that the document set it creates doesn’t have any documents in it??
When I go in to the library and manually choose to create a docset, it creates
the docset and the templates that I have in it is well, so I am really not sure
what is going on, any help at all would be really great.<o:p></o:p>
Best regards, Mike

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that the document set created by workflow does not contain documents.
I try to reproduce the issue, the result is the same as yours.
As a workaround, I recommend to use the use the custom workflow activity Copy List Item Extended Activity
to copy documents to document sets.
You can do this with codeless SharePoint Designer workflows as long as you can install the
Codeplex Custom SharePoint Designer Workflow Activities.
These activities are also built-in to SPD2010.
To install the custom activities, please follow the steps as below:
Download the solution file form
Useful Sharepoint Designer Custom Workflow Activities
Copy the wps file to the Disk C.
Open the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell.
Run the command: add spsolution c:\ dp.sharepoint.workflow.wsp
Open the Center Administration, click System Setting->Manage Farm Solution-> dp.sharepoint.workflow.wsp->Deploy to one or more Web Application.
Open the SharePoint designer, add action from Custom Actions.

Zoomed pdf's are clear but zoomed jpegs are blurry

I work for an architect and i decided to upload a set of plans to the iphone via the jpeg format and view them through my photos on the phone. the iphone compresses the images and i can not zoom in to see the detail on the drawings, it blurrs out. however, if i pdf the draings and e-mail them to myself and view the pdf through the e-mail, i can view them fine.
is there a way that i can store the pdf version of the files on the iphone to access them on a regular basis as opposed to having to go through my e-mail to view the files?
thanks,
C

IPad will display scanned PDFs but they are miscolored and streaked

I am supporting some judges who use iPads to access scanned documents via email on a regular basis.
Yesterday, one judge created a ticket claiming that he can still open scanned documents/attachments via iBooks and PDF reader etc...but when he opens them, the documents have horizontal bands of gray and/or colors appearing here and there in the display.
When he opens the documents on his PC (with Adobe, etc), they display perfectly - none of the errors appear the way they did on the iPad.
He claims that this feature used to work fine with no problems on his iPad, but "something seemed to change" recently.
Is anything I can do to help him, or is this a question for the Genius bar?

This is honestly a WAG but here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.
