Printing "non-words"

my canon printer iP6000D has begun to print my spreadsheet words as what i would describe as "non-words" The numbers in the spreadsheet print as typed but the english words do not print as typed. For example: CELLS is printed out as & LLS. Another word, ST. JO comes out as S3. JO and so forth. The other documents that are not spreadsheets, i.e., that are word processing documents come out correctly.

I just meant that you could create a new user account in the Accounts pane of System Preferences for testing purposes. You create the account, log in as that user and see if the problem persists. If not, you know the problem is something specific to your user account. If it persists, it must be system-wide. This helps target trouble-shooting appropriately.

  • LaserJet 2600n won't print Ms. Word doc, Publisher, nor excel. Sends paper thru, but no print on it.

    My HP Color LaserJet 2600n printer won’t print a Microsoft Word document, nor a Microsoft Office Publisher, any longer. When I try printing a Word document in `either black or colors, the printer sends the paper through, but no print is on the paper. When I click “Properties” in the print dialog box, I get a pop-up window saying, “Word cannot bring up the properties dialog because the printer returned an error.”
    I reinstalled the printer driver, and restarted my computer, but this did not help. None of the trouble shooting actions helped.
    However, it does print from notepad. But when I tried to print a Ms Excel document, the error box said, “Current printer is unavailable. Select another printer.” And when try to print a pdf file, I get message, “Adobe Reader stopped working.”
    I use a 64-bit Toshiba Satellite P505 with Windows 7.
    Please advise.

    I felt i had to come to help you if your problem was not solved.
    I've a customer who just came up with this problem.  He is using Office 2003 on Windows 7 Home Edition 64 bits.  He is using also a Color LaserJet 2600n.  We just reinstalled his software on a new computer and we started experiencing "Current Printer Is Unavailable" in Excel.  When trying to access Page Setup, it was also giving us that same message, and
    then we had a dialog listing every computer available.
    We produced a PDF, tried to print from Acrobat Reader, it crashed too the same way you mentionned.
    Here's what happenned:
    We first installed the driver available from HP web site
    We did some updates from Microsoft Web Site.  There was an optional hardware update for the LaserJet 2600n, so we installed it.  This update is completely {Language Filter Evasion}
    Uninstall your printer driver (well, just remove it from your printer list)
    Then reinstall it.  In our case, it was accessed thru IP.
    When it was installing, it asked us to keep the same driver or REPLACE the driver...  pick-up REPLACE the driver!
    And you are good to go...

  • I'm running Adobe 9 pro on snow leopard and when I save or print from word for mac 14 the bottom gets cuts off

    I'm running Adobe 9 pro on snow leopard and when I save or print from word for mac 14 the bottom gets cuts off. Can someone help?

    Ah! You're creating a PDF out of Word through Acrobat. The cutoff is most likely being affected by the printer chosen.
    When you call up the print dialogue in Word, check to see what printer is being used. If it's a typical inkjet printer, Acrobat is using the print margins of that printer as the cutoff area. Since most such printers can't print to the last inch and half or so of the paper, that's where it would be cut off.
    Near the bottom, under the preview of the document, click on the Page Setup button. It doesn't really matter which printer you select here. Under Paper Size, choose Manage Custom Sizes. Under the Non-Printable Area heading, choose the same printer and set the paper size you're using.
    Note that the unprintable margins for that printer will be filled in automatically. That's what's being cut off. Click the + button to create a modified version. The default will be "Untitled". Give it a new name if you want. Then set all of the margins to zero. Click OK. Now you'll have that as a choice under Paper Size. Doesn't matter that the actual printer can't use this setting since you're going to a PDF. Click OK to get back to the main Word print dialogue.
    Now choose Save as Adobe PDF. It should give you an exact duplicate of what's on screen in Word since as far as Acrobat is concerned, your "printer" has no unprintable margins.

  • Why can't I print a word document from my macbook pro

    Since the last software upgrade, I am unable to print from word. I can print from excel and ppt, but not word. I have re-installed the printer drivers after uninstalling them but it still doesn't work.

    If you have a macbook with internal or USB external Superdrive, insert disk, and an option appears for burning files.
    Otherwise drop the movie into a folder and click on the settings button of the folder and choose "burn .......to disk"

  • Page numbers are not generated correctly when print from Word to PDF

    Whenever I print my Word document to PDF, my page numbers do not reflect the page numbers shown in Print Preview.
    For example, I have a Word document with 10 pages and after generating it as PDF, the page number shows Page 1 of 1; Page 2 of 2; Page 3 of 3; ......Page 10 of 10.
    Please advise what may be the cause and how can I rectify this problem?
    Thank you.

    Thank you for your reply.
    I do have some sections breaks on the pages, however the pages are all shown in running sequence even on Preview page.
    It is the final generated document that has this problem.
    I emailed my colleagues my WORD document and ask them to generate to PDF and they have no issues printing the WORD to PDF and every pages were in running order.
    Any other advise?

  • Printing from Word 2008 to PDF does not preserve hyperlinks

    Hi,
    I have discovered that when I print a Word 2008 (ver. 12.2.4) document to PDF format using Mac OS X version 10.6.2, some of the hyperlinks are lost.
    Links where the hyperlink address is visible in the document are preserved, while all others are lost. Interestingly, the PDF shows the text with the hyperlink as if it still has a hyperlink, but the link does not function. I have posted an illustration:
    - original Word document (zipped): http://people.trentu.ca/~rloney/files/hyperlinktestword-to-PDF.zip
    - converted PDF document: http://people.trentu.ca/~rloney/files/hyperlinktestword-to-PDF.pdf
    I've tested this with both .doc and .docx formats and there is no effect, nor does it matter whether I print as PDF using Mac OS X, or convert the Word file to PDF using Adobe Acrobat ver. 9.3. I have run the same test with Apple's TextEdit and all links are preserved, so this appears to be specific to Word on the Mac.
    Has anyone had any experience with this? Any work around?
    I will try to find a place I can report this to Microsoft as a bug.
    Thank you,
    Rob

  • I will try to print from word to the Adobe printer.  Sometimes it just freezes.  I cannot select another printer.

    I will try to print from word to the Adobe printer.  Sometimes it just freezes.  I cannot select another printer.  It’s like all my printers are gone.  Sometimes I get an “Unable to Connect” error and sometimes I get “1 document in printer queue”.  No matter what printer I choose after I try to go to Adobe, I cannot connect to a printer.  The only solution I have come up with is a clean reboot which I can't afford to do 4-5 times a day.
    Currently on Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.09

    Hi Tymuls,
    The first step I would try is delete the Adobe pdf printer and then repair Acrobat.
    Repairing Acrobat will bring back the pdf printer. We released an update yesterday i.e. 11.0.10. try updating to the latest version and check.
    Have you tried uninstalling the software and reinstalling it.
    You might also want to check the performance in a new admin user account.

  • Can't print from Word or Acrobat

    OK, I had this problem maybe two years ago and I did fix it. The problem is back and I don't remember how I fixed it.
    I have an HP printer (new printer since the last time I had this problem so its not necessarily the printer) - MS Word and Acrobat Adobe will not allow me to print.
    I can print Appleworks and can convert Word to pdf and print it with Preview not Acrobat.
    Did I reinstall the printer program? or Word or Acrobat?
    Diane

    There is absolutely no relationship between what InDesign installs (and uses) and the operation of Microsoft Word and Acrobat. InDesign does not install any system components or share any system components with Word and Acrobat.
    Look elsewhere for causes and solutions. In the case of Acrobat, if you have specific issues with printing with specific types of PDF files and/or devices, post your questions on the appropriate Acrobat forum (“Printing and Prepress”).

  • J6480 not printing to word 2007 or word 2003!

     Relatively new J6480 AIO will not print a word document from  Word 2007 or 2003 version. All other forms of documents from the office suite can be printed  i.e. Excel, power point, microsoft pub. etc. Even pdfs. Any suggestions?

    Don't know if you can still update your WORD, but this sounds like a common WORD problem, though I have not heard about it with 97. I assume you get the same result if you print to paper, always a good check. If so, then start looking at WORD.

  • When I print a Word document to a shared printer, print preview looks fine but the printed page has too much blank space at the top and doesn't print the bottom few lines.

    When I print a Word for Mac document to a shared printer (that is connected to my iMac) from my Macbook Pro, print preview looks fine but the printed page has too much blank space at the top and doesn't print the bottom few lines.  I have tried to adjust the margins and the page setup settings but to no avail.  It used to print fine until recently.  Is there a way to fix it so that the printer prints what print preview shows?

    I should add that when I e-mail this document to myself and print it directky from the iMac, it prints fine.

  • Printing a Word document to pdf

    Is it possible to directly print a Word document to jpg through Adobe, or do I first have to print it to pdf and then save it as a jpg?

    Hi jmt111,
    It is not possible to convert Word document to JPG using Adobe Acrobat. You need to first convert the Word file to PDF and then you can save that PDF file to JPG (JPEG or TIFF or PNG).

  • Printing in Word for Mac: strange result

    Today I tried a simple thing like printing a word page from app Word for mac. Usually I obtain a normal print. But today the result is quite strange: the page is printed in an over stretched form, characters seem stretched in vertical, but with some line missing. I tried to reinstall the Office suite, but same result obtained. I only got to have the page printed by exporting it into iPhoto and printing from there...
    Printer HP deskjet 920 C
    all settings ok, since printing a sample page from printer driver works fine.
    Thanks in advance for helping.

    First I would try trashing the MS Word preferences file. That is located at Home>Library>Preferences>com.microsoft.word.plist. Then try again.

    Hi Yamini,
    I think this happens when you look at utf-8 in Windows wiith another character set. I've noticed that the XML file (and hence the PDF output) displays those characters when I preview reports on the BI desktop, but the output from the server is fine, so I don't worry about it.

  • I just paid for Adobe PDF pack and I think I am having problems installing. When I select to print from word, PDF is not an option. Help!

    Hi voltric2014,
    If you are on Windows, you can download and install the CreatePDF Desktop Printer, which would allow you to "print" to PDF from Word. You'll find a link to the installer on the CreatePDF page at https://cloud.acrobat.com. Here are the instructions for installing it: Using Adobe PDF Pack
    Please let us know if you have additional questions.
    Best,

  • I'm getting # marks when printing from Word to .pdf; what's going on?

    I recently reinstalled OS and all software, including Acrobat 9.  (No virus, just like to freshen things up on the system.)  Now, when I print from Word to a .pdf file, I get # marks inserted near header and footer.  This never happened before.  I unchecked the box (under properties) that says, "rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts" and that made them go away, but I never had to mess with that previously.  Is that, in fact, the solotion, or is there something else going on that needs to be corrected?
    Thanks

    The check box was checked by default.  I made no revisions to the settings after reinstalling Adobe.
    As noted, this had never happened before.  The document was a letter with a letterhead graphic inserted (.png I believe).  When I pulled up various old letters I prepared using the letterhead template or even the blank letterhead template itself and printed to .pdf, the # marks showed up, whereas that had never happened previously.  Again, though, I made no changes to the default settings, so I'm wondering whether unchecking the check box really did take care of the problem or is just "masking" or "hiding" some other issue.
