Printing from PS CS3 not working

One of our scientists has a workstation running Windows XP (SP2) and Photoshop CS3 (10.0.1). Connected to this setup is a HP Laserjet 1200.
When he tries to print a simple greyscale image on the printer (which can only print b/w) the print-out shows a very coarse line screen which was not present before he got his new computer.
We have tried manually setting the line-screen to 150lpi in the print dialog box. The only result of this was that the print-out becomes very dark almost black. We also tried to switch to the postscript driver for the printer (he has been using PCL up until now) but this shows the same printout as PCL.
Any ideas what could be wrong?

Go into windows and set the default printer to something other then what you choose to print with in PS CS3. Then when ready to print choose the printer in PS CS3 print screen. This has fixed a lot of printing issues with Photoshop.
Edit: I would also consider updating Windows XP to SP3 as in the next few months Microsoft will no longer support XP SP2 with updates.

  • Wireless printing from main Mac not working

    I've read through a few threads about wireless printing issues via the TC but I have a twist. My second Mac (Macbook 10.4.11) is able to print wirelessly through TC without a problem. I've selected the appropriate printer via System Preferences>>printers and selected "Share this printer".
    My main Mac (MacBook Pro 10.5.3) which is being backed up on the TC, is not able to print wirelessly. I've also correctly selected the printer and clicked on "share this printer". The printer is an HP2410xi connected to the TC via USB.
    The print jobs appear in the print queue and the printer status is "ready". When I select the stalled print job and select Resume I get the message "Opening printer connection" but nothing happens.
    Thoughts?

    If the printer worked on 10.5 when it was plugged directly into the macbook shouldn't the same driver also work when the printer is plugged into the time machine. I've unclicked printer sharing on both macs and it still doesn't work. I see that HP does not have an updated driver for 10.5 so I guess that I'll just plug the printer back into the macbook's USB. Grrrr.

  • Wireless printing - from shipping sites - not working after update to iOS7

    I am no longer able to print shipping labels from PayPal or USPS after updating to iOS7. I am able to print emails, etc. from other sites online - just not shipping labels. Is anyone else having the same problem? Is there a fix?

    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    Then restart the device.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, then swipe the slider to power off.
    Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Then try printing.

  • Printer dialogue box hangs when printing from Illustrator cs3

    OK... I'm not sure if this is Illustrator related or mac related, but it only happens from Illustrator. In our office we have an iMac (white,flat) running Tiger (OSX 10.4.11). Whenever we try to print from Illustrator CS3 the preint goes through to the printer immediately and prints, but the actual Illustrator spooling bar/printer dialogue box remains. The only way is to wait for about half an hour for the bar to finish or force quit the application and restart (even though it does not show as "not responding" in the Force Quit window.
    Now I've tried reinstalling Illustrator. I've run disk warrior. Tried the fsck command on startup. our technical outsources tell us it might be a memory problem, but I'm not tsure as this only happens in Illustrator and no other programs.... any ideas?

    I can vouch for the dock hiding solution solving the problem. It worked on three Intel Macs we were having problems with. Here are some links to articles about it:

    I follow your instruction as below:
    1) download the sample app vbnet_win_printtoprinter.zip to dev computer and compile it to .NET 2005.
    - Run from my dev computer
    - Click "Print Report" button
    - Error message display - please see below
        The error was due to the default printer name hard coded in the program was not found. I have edited to my printer name and it can be printed out with no error.
    2) Use a "saved data" report so that you do not have to worry about database logon.
    can't find the "saved data", please elaborate
    3) Then copy the exe to the 64 bit box and try to print using this sample app.
    -do you mean copy the exe to the 64 bit computer for testing ?

    It is possible to print from your Galaxy Note II using the HP ePrint App. Please look at this documents to answer your questions:
    HP ePrint Mobile App FAQs
    If you are able to see your printer, when you open the app but not able to print then:
    The HP printer is not supported by the HP ePrint mobile app.
    Your mobile device is not connected to the wireless network.
    Your mobile device is connected to the wrong wireless network.
    The HP printer is off.
    The HP printer is not shared over the wireless network.
    Also, if you are having issues printing from the app to the printer then check to see:
    If the printer is turned off.
    If the printer has an issue, such as a jam.
    If the ePrint feature is turned off in the printer.
    Your mobile device is not activated with ePrint Center.
    The HP Printer is not shared over the wireless network.
    The HP ePrint mobile app is not corrently installed.
    The HP Printer is not connected to the wireles network.

    Funny enough, I was just about to run this test and happened to check with another tech about this.  Apparently another customer had gotten in touch with us regarding the same issue and after confirming this, found that it is a bug.  As such, this has been logged and we should hopefully see a fix for it in our future updates.

  • Printing from Illustrator does not match Photoshop

    I have CS3. The colorsuite is matched across all platforms so colour profiles are all the same.
    I print pure cmyk colours in a document, so one square is cyan, another magenta and so on.
    When I print from photoshop, it prints the colours correct. Each colour is printed from each printers colour cartridge directly. But when I print from Illustrator, its not printing purely. The colours are darker and have mixed colours under a magnifier.
    Ive tested on different printers and with colour management off on their drivers so should use adobes.
    Any ideas why Illustrator is coming out muddier? Many thanks in advance.

    Yes the mode is definately CMYK in photoshop. See the images attached of scanned closeup of the print out of yellow.
    Yellow below is how it looks when printing from Illustrator and Acrobat. You can see its added dots to it.
    Yellow below is from Photoshop. You can see its pure yellow which is what I want.
    Edit: Just tried Overprint: Simulate in Acrobat. No change.
    Edit2: "I would like to know what's the definition of "correct"?" For a start Magenta looks like a dark red. Cyan is blue but a dark shade of it.

  • Windows Server 2012 - Printing using UNC path not working

    Hi,
    I have a problem printing using the printer's UNC path ("\\Server_Name\Printer_Hostname") to work with a web
    app hosted on IIS 8. With a windows forms application the UNC path is working fine and the app prints.
    With
    the web app I receive an error "The data area passed to a system call is tool small". 
    Also,
    in the event viewer under Applications and Services Logs -> Microsoft -> PrintService -> Operational, I receive the error "The print spooler failed to reopen an existing printer connection because it could not read the configuration information
    from the registry key S-1-5-82-1980832875-2702362896-1795126167-3622310632-1152289074\Printers\Connections. The print spooler could not open the registry key. This can occur if the registry key is corrupt or missing, or if the registry recently became unavailable."

    I have contacted IIS forum support.
    Please review the link: http://forums.iis.net/p/1213109/2079229.aspx?Re+Windows+Server+2012+Printing+using+UNC+path+not+working
    Their final response:
    Printing from ASP.NET using System.Drawing.Printing itself is a horrible approach, as this namespace was designed for Windows Forms only. The designers did not take everything about ASP.NET in mind, so any issue can happen. That can answer why the HP model
    works while the Samsung fails, as the HP one just "happens
    to work",
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.drawing.printing.printdocument.aspx
    Similarly, System.Printing was designed just for WPF.
    About which printing API to use in ASP.NET/IIS, there is no clear answer so far. Thus, your only resource is Microsoft support, who can perform further analysis (with their dedicate utilities and of course Windows source code) and might come across a solution
    to help you out. This is not a trivial scenario.

  • Full page prints from iPhone but not from iPad using photo app with AirPrint ?

    Full page prints from iPhone but not from iPad using photo app with AirPrint ? iPad only prints 4x6 on full size paper. It's an HP 8600.

    I also have this problem printing photos from an iPad to an Epson WF-2540 printer. It prints only 4x6 and without border (so print starts at extreme top left corner of paper). Borderless printing is not selected on printer. Printing a square photo just crops to 4x6 size.

  • Consuming PI Webservice from Webdynpro Java Not working

    Hello SAP,
    Environment: CE 7.2.
    Resolution expected immediately, Helpful answer is highly appreciated.
    Is the namespace should not exceed 60char for PI Webservice, for executing the webservice from Webdynpro Java.
    I tried with all the options in executing the PI Service from Webdynpro Java, None of the options worked. I am facing the below error while I was calling the PI Webservice.
    I don't see any problem from Webdynpro Java, what ever the procedure I have followed is the standard procedure.
    Fortunately when I execute the service from Webservice Navigator, it is working as expected. The same webservice when I consume it from Webdynpro Java it is not working
    Options tried so far:
    1) Published the Services to Service Registry and there by consuming the PI Service from Service Registry - Not worked
    2) Tweaked the URL with few options - Not worked (Tweaking the URL, ex: portType, Binding)
    3) Changing the Business Systems in PI and there after calling the service - Not worked
    4) Initializing the code, instead of creating Service Controller and calling the PI Service - Not worked.
    5) Created a Provider System and tried to call the PI Webservice from Provider System - Not Worked
    For all the Options, I am facing the same error which is provided in the screenshot.
    Below procedure which I have followed for calling the PI Webservice:
    1) Created Adaptive Webservice Model
    2) Provided PI Webservice URL (It prompts for PI System UserId and Password)
    3) Selected Option - No Service Group Configuration
    4) Provided Logical Destination
    6) Completed creation of Model
    7) Added the model as a UsedModel
    8) Right Click on Comp Contr. and selected Apply Template and Created a ServiceController for the model (Entire mapping to comp contr, Initializing the nodes is taken care by Service Contr.)
    9) Created an Template Action button and there by calling execute method which is auto rendered from CompContr..
    10) Build the project.
    11) Activated the code and Run the Application.
    12) Getting the below error which is showed in the message.
    ERROR MESSAGE:
    Exception on execution of web service on destination 'GetPIHRPeopleData' for operation 'SI_CreateHRPeopleData_OS' in interface 'SI_CreatePeopleCompany_OS'

    Hi Sankar,
    If the webservice is working fine in the Wsnavigator then there is some problem with importing the webservice in webdynpro for Java. Please check the required parameter for creating the Adaptive Webservice Model. After adding in the used model and compoent controller binding, you need to write code for to execute the webservice model.
    Please check the code for initialization and execution for the webservice and then test it.
    Best Regards,
    Arun Jaiswal

    If you see a red light in the audio output port, then the internal switch is stuck.  Insert the earphone plug a few times and see if you can trip the switch.  If that fails, insert a cocktail stirrer and the like and jiggle it around inside.  If that fails, take it to an Apple store and have the technicians at the genius bar do it for you.
