I am having trouble printing to an Epson XP600. It is a new printer and it has been replaced because we thought it was the printer. Basically, when I print from Excel, only color will print.

I am having trouble printing to an Epson XP600. We have replaced the printer and we are still having the same problem. When I try to print from Excel, only the color prints. Any suggestions?

Has anyone else had issues not being able to print black (such as a document)? My photos print great, but when I try to print a simple black-ink document, it won't work. Any suggestions?

I cant print from EXCEL

I have just installed my new HP Office Jet Pro 8600 and I am unable to print from EXCEL...Can anyone advise please?

Do you receive any error messages?
Yes, the error message I receive is "current printer is unavailable. Select another printer". This error message is shown when I try to print a excel or a PDF file. However, I have no issues printing from Word, or the web. Also, I have a second computer signed on from a wireless network, and it can print everything without an issue.
What options do you get when you try to print from Excel?
It gives me the option to use "Microsoft XPS Document Writer" or "Quickbooks PDF converter". However, neither of these options allow me to print.
Does it work from other Office programs?
Yes, Microsoft Word.
How is the printer connected to the computer?
The printer was originally a wireless connection when the problem occurred. I then switched to a USB connection, with the same results. I then tried an Ethernet wired connection, but no change. Currently, we are on a USB wired connection.
What version of Excel is being used?
"Microsoft Office Excel 2007" I belief it is the home office edition.
What operating system does the computer use?
The computer having an issue runs Windows 7. My second computer runs XP, and has no issues.
How was the printer driver installed? Was it from a CD or a download? Was it the full featured driver or basic print driver?
The printer was installed by a CD. It is unclear to me whether or not it is basic or full, I just popped in the disc the printer came with. It installed version 24.2.0
We recently purchased this printer in order to replace our old printer for office use. The old printer has incredibly slow, and sometimes did not print things. We first set up the new computer (HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911a), and added it to our wireless network. We then added it to our main computer, and the printer would not print from excel. However, we found we were able to print things without an issue from our second computer once it was added.
We have tried rebooting, reinstalling, using every form of connection, without progress.

Printing from excel

for the past 5 yrs i have done the same thing I have a spread sheet which I extraxt info from to another location then print to Adobe pdf - it then tells me to assign a name ot the file which I do and which folder i am putting the PDF in which I do and then it looks like it is copying the info ( no error message) and it goes back to my excel sheet then usually adobe opens up with the form -- this is not happening and it does not save file

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that printing from Excel Services in IE
creates a print block of all conditional formatting symbols in your SharePoint 2013.
Which printer do you use ? For my test, I create a PowerPivot document and upload it to my SharePoint 2013 document library. Then I open it using Excel Service and go to File -> Print -> Print. The
print feature works fine on my PowerPivot document.
For your issue, I recommend you follow the steps as above for printing your document.

Problem printing from excel on HP photosmart C309a with windows 7 x64

Hi,
I have the following problem when printing certain sheets from excel or even print previewing them it comes up with an error stating it cannot print due to error with my hp photosmart c309a maybe due to lack of memory, too many open applications etc.
however this doesnt effect other sheets made from same template, if i copy the data to a new sheet i can print it. however this error has effected old spreadsheets and newly created ones, only seems to effect excel and only on some sheets. On the sheets that wont print, if I change default printer to another it will preview and print but not to my c309a, this therefore must be some error with the driver for windows 7 as it worked fine before on my xp system with same spreadsheets. I have downloaded latest drivers with no luck, what else can I try, when will this error be fixed with a new updated driver?
Thanks

My HP 309C printer won't print Excel documents it says it is short on memory and to close other programs.
Can I get some help with this as it is very frustrating I gave up a Cannon to change I thought for the better but this is not the case. thanks,....Les

Running SFTP from script but Task Scheduler does not like part of it.

Hello,
I am trying to do some (not so) simple file copying using SFTP in this manner:
1) Map a drive to the destination, the SFTP program will not accept UNC paths
2) Use SFTP to copy the files to the target Server
3) Write a Timestamped entry to a log file
4) Remove the source files after copy
5) Remove the drive mapping
Everything works but Step two and that only fails running from the Task Scheduler (W2K8 R2). Running from the command line directly in PowerShell or using the Run box works fine all the way.
The sftp program is BitVise SSH Client using their log utility. The makes the command line very complicated.
The line I use in the Scheduler is powershell "D:\Scripts\SFTP_TPCCommission.ps1" Dev I have also tried using the -command parameter. Again, it only does not work in the scheduler.
Here is how I invoke it:
$CmdLine = "`"D:\\Program Files (x86)\\Bitvise SSH Client\\logs\\`" sftpc " + $Server + " -pk=1 -cmd=`"put -o -lf Z:\" + $File + " /TPCCommissions`""
& log ($CmdLine)
I have also tried a Here String to do the same thing. It works the same way.
$ArgText = @"
"D:\\Program Files (x86)\\Bitvise SSH Client\\logs\\" sftpc $Server -pk=1 -cmd="put -o -lf Z:\$File /TPCCommissions"
Any ideas?

In a batch file or at the command (not PS) line the command structure looks like this:
log "D:\\Program Files (x86)\\Bitvise SSH Client\\logs\\" sftpc <user@server> -pk=1 -cmd="put -o -lf Z:\<Source> /<Destination>"
The double slashes are requirement of the log program which calls the sftpc program with its command structure.
The double-quoted section after "-cmd=" is required. The Z: drive is mapped because the SFTP program does not support UNC paths. (Stupid, but that is all I have to work with.
What you see in my post is just the part giving me trouble. I am using PS to keep track of what I am copying to the destination and removing from the source and creating a timestamped log of that activity.
As to the comment about Task Scheduler, I am using it. Like I said, it all works fine from anywhere but the Task Scheduler.

Suddenly, I can't print from Excel

Other applications seem to print fine to my Epson Stylus CX4600.
However, Excel X stops the print queue whenever I try to print
ANY spreadsheet. No new hardware or software.
I have tried:
Restarting Mac
Restarting the printer
Disconnecting power from printer
Deleting (actually renaming) the following files:
/users/me/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Excel Settings
/users/me/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Microsoft Office Settings
/users/me/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Microsoft Component Preferences
iMac (iSight) G5, 1.9GHz, 1.0GB mem, 152GB disk Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I solved my own problem by going to Page Setup in Excel
and making sure the correct printer was selected. I don't
know how it got deselected.
Sure was easier than reinstalling Excel and printer drivers!

Adobe won't print from Excel etc

Having installed Adobe Acrobat v 10 Standard on my new desktop, printing documents to adobe is just not happening. If you open acrobat and create a pdf from the same file, it works, as does the Acrobat option on Excel etc (to create). However, selecting
Adobe as the printer, doesn't seem to work at all - no docs in queue etc, won't even 'print' a test page. Same settings/ports etc on another computer (laptop) works Ok. Windows 7 Office 2007. Any ideas?

Hi,
According to your description, it seems that you can not print documents through Adobe Acrobat directly.
Did you try to print Office file stand alone? Did you update the latest printer driver in your new desktop?

Why can't I print from Excel or Word?

When I click "Print" either in Excel or Word, the window pops up for me to select printing preferences, but then it just force quits the whole program. I get a window that pops up and says "Microsoft Excel/Word has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." And it gives me the option to restart the program and recover my work, and to either send or not send the information to Microsoft.
Anyone else have this issue? My computer is from 2008. I'm wondering if it's having trouble because of how old it is? And I'm wondering if it can be fixed.....any information is appreciated! Thank you!

From within a SendNow account you can view details of a file that has been uploaded, forward the file, download the file or delete the file. There is no "print" for a file.
To print -- Download the file to the local machine.
Open the file in its native application.
Do a "file :: print" and print to the attached printer.
Pick up the hardcopy.
Done.
Be well...

Text getting cut off when printing to PDF from Excel

Hello,
     I've seen a lot related to this subject but nothing that shows a real solution.
     Using Excel 2003-sp3 and Adobe Acrobat v.9 Standard, the right half of the last character in the string gets cut off. It prints from excel fine.
     It's not always the text that is the right-most on the page either. An affected PDF file is attached - note the cut off "S" on the last line (NET ASSETS OF GOVERNMENTAL ACTIVITIES).
     Any assistance is appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin Murphy

Windows task scheduler to run batch file running a java program

I have created a batch file that runs my SendEmail program. The batch file is in the same directory as the java program. The only line in the batch file is
java SendEmail
This works fine from the command prompt but from the windows task scheduler it fails to function. Any help on how I can overcome this problem will be greatly appreciated.
THanks

Looks okay. The classpath is set, too, I guess? Btw, try running javaw instead of java. I may err, but I think it can show a console, so you can watch any error messages.

Printing from os 9

I am having trouble getting a driver for my epson 1290 to install in Classic .
The printer works fine from Tiger through Airport Express but I can't find it in the chooser in classic and I can't appear to install it into Classic either .What am I doing wrong?I am trying to print from Excel 98 .

You will not be able to print from OS 9 or Classic. Printing to Airport-connected printers requires OS 10.2.7 or higher.

Create PDF button gone from Excel worksheet

Recently had to restore computer back to factory. I installed full CS4 WebSuite which includes Acrobat. I used to have a PDF button in Excel that would let me create a PDF from an Excel worksheet. How do I get that back? I used to use Office 2003 and now I use Office 2013.
Thanks so much in advance!

The store is at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/buying-guide-upgrade-pricing.html. If you click the upgrade option, you will see the option to upgrade to AA XI from the AA X Suite (whatever that is, I assume CS) or from individual products. In your case it is not an individual product, but a suite. If you have questions or want to see if you can get a deal, you will have to call the Adobe sales folks. We can only repeat what we see and have heard from others (except for those folks who have the suite).
You can still print to the Adobe PDF printer from Excel 2013, if you can get AA9 to work on Win8 (an outside chance, but may require some workarounds). You would just not get links or bookmarks. You might see if there is a MS plugin for creating PDFs from Excel. If there is, you might be able to create the PDFs that way and edit in Acrobat 9.

Printing from Elements 10 issues question:

If I print anything from my Elements 10 on our HP Officejet 8600 the printer goes birserk and will only print the odd page. After attempting to line feed numerous times, the printer comes up with "Out of Paper" however the printer has plenty of paper. This does not occur with the HP 8600 printing from Excel, Word or Explorer.
It was not that long ago we updated the printer driver. The earlier driver palyed up even more ! Seems to be an incompatibility between Elements 10 and certain HP printer drivers. Is there a patch from Adobe that will resolve this ? It appears to be the signal Elements sends to the printer to line feed between each page.
Look forward to areply ASAP.

Brad1313 where you able to resolve this? I have multiple xerox workcentre 7556 printers that we print from osx 10.7 through a 2008 r2 print server. before the print job is even released at the mac, a "Printer control command" gets stuck in the local queue and never makes it to the 2008 queue. If i delete the printer control command job at the mac, the actual print job is released and prints through the server to the printer correctly. Account codes are also in use with this machine, but this doesnt seem to be the issue... its the Printer control command that seems to be getting things stuck.... If I print directly to the printer using lpd i have no issue, the pcc file doesnt get stuck (i paused the queue to verify the pcc file is still being created, and it still is). Unfortunatley this is against company policy, all jobs must go through the server queue. osx 10.6.8 has no issue and im using the updated driver for the printer. Just curious if you found a work around. Thanks!
