Printing Powerpoint doc

Since installing 10.5 system my powerpoint doc will not print correctly. Formated document has all typing jumbled into the left hand side of the document, within the appropiate boxes.
Any fix suggestions would be appreciated.

One of my clients has the same issues but we were able to solve a part of them:
On Brother HL-5250 printers the Printer Setup Utility picks the CUPS driver by default which creates the results you describe: All text on top of each other on the left.
We solved this by switching to the correct one, the BR-Script3 Postscript driver also included with Leopard.
But we still have the same issue with PowerPoint and a Xerox DocuCentre 535: Although the driver chosen here should be a PostScript version we still have the same issues.
Over the weekend I'll try to figure out if installing the older PPD version 1.5 from Xerox solve the issue (according to Apple version 1.5.2 is included with Leopard).

Hi,
If you are trying to utilize AirPrint you need an HP compatible printer listed here.

How can I print a doc from my iPhone 4S to a Lexmark Interpret S405 printer with WiFi? Thanks!

Unfortunately you need an airprint enabled printer to print from an iOS device. There are some work arounds but they are very complicated and aren't proven to work 100%. From what I understand through rumors they are working on allowing all wireless printers to work with iOS but at the moment that's a pipedream. I don't know how important it is but if you really need to print from iPhone you can find some great AirPrint printers on Ebay for decent prices. Good Luck!

Hi Maxpkh
Do you mean attachment? You can't do that with free Adobe Reader you need Acrobat to do this.

Is there a Dock Icon that was created for your Printer? If so, open it and look at the list to be printed and delete the extras.
If not, you did not get that far, so no 15 copies for you!

Put in the clipboard, from an VB program, an image with a tooltip and a hyperlink to paste them into a Word or PowerPoint doc.

I tried to put
in the clipboard an image with an associated tooltip
and a hyperlink to paste them into a Word or PowerPoint doc.
I tried to do it with the usual Clipboard's methods SetData and GetData. It's easy to paste an image, text, rich text, html, but it does not appear to be able to associate metadata or hyperlink to an image.
Usally the tooltip
and the hyperlink are in the metadata
associated with the object.
I think it can be done with the CliboardData class and its Data and Metadata properties, working with the different items of the List of Objects, but I don't know how to tackle it.
Any suggestions?
Thank You

Does word or powerpoint associate a tooltip and hyperlink to an image and then allow that image with those associations to be copied to another open word or powerpoint document? If not then your probably wasting your time.

HpqtBx01.exe runs in background after printing a doc

every time I print a doc this pgm continues to run, causing the fan on my HP dv9005 to run at high speed. The only way to fix it is to log off and manually shut the pgm down when the error message pops up. I've removed and re-installed my s/w several times and it keeps happening. I run windows XP with an HP 0fficejet 4315

Hi
I observing the exactly similar situation for my laptop with HP Officejet 6300 series printer attached. I wonder if you ever got it resolved ?
If so, what was the cure ?
Thanks in advance

Yes you can. It helps a lot if the fonts and effects used have the equivalent in Keynote otherwise they will be substituted. It can be saved as PowerPoint or as a Keynote file.

How to print a doc using Reader 11.0.3.37

I am unable to print a document using Adobe Reader 11.0.3.37.
Any ideas about how to do so?

When I try to print the doc, I selected the particular doc to print (copy), the ckicked on to "view document", and a gray screen populates without any graphics.
The error message that I got, after one try, was to the effect that a problem existed in my security set-up.
I checked the security system software file and read that the Adobe Reader was installed and "running", yet I have not discovered what I need to do to get a print of the doc.

Printing adobe doc suddenly stopped

Within the last week or so, I suddenly can't print adobe docs. When I select print, a dialogue box appears saying cannot print, then upon hitting ok, another box appears saying could not print because 'there were no pages selected to print". I have tried everything and even did system restore. I have made no changes or have done anything that would explain why suddenly I am having this problem. I want to be able to print, but it would also be nice to know what caused this.

In the applicable product forum, you can start a New Discussion (post), from the main page. See this illustration:
Hope that helps, and that you also get some helpful responses. If you still have issues, just PM either Jacob, or me (going out of town for 4 days), and we'll Move your thread to the product forum, that applies.
Good luck,

My Deskjet 1510 can't print powerpoint slide at the centre of A4 paper, even after I change both the slide dimension and the paper size in printer preference (advanced) to A4. Please help.

Is the print quality good with other applications, such as Word?

My printer will not print the docs in the que.

My printer will not print the docs in the que. I think it may be the norton virus protection I Installed recently. How do I fix this?

If one thing gets held up in que then all other doc's follwing will be held up as well-
Download and run the "PRINT DIAGNOSTIC UTILITY" to get rid of the things in your print que

Samsung CLP310 printer- printing word doc problem

i have had a Samsung CLP310 printer for a while and its worked perfectly, however, just recently it has not allowed me to print word.doc files , i have to convert them first to a pdf and then print.
Does anyone know if there has been a change to the driver or if i have downloaded a recent universal software upgrade that has mucked things up? Any advice well.
(I have tried the reset printers options etc..)
Many thanks

I'm having the same exact problem but can't seem to get ANY response!! The link below was never responded to so I copied it here. IS THERE A WAY TO MAKE ADOBE USE THE "HP" DRIVER AND NOT THE XEROX?????

We have a similar problem with 2007 Excel files embedded in Autodesk Inventor 2008. The pdf preview will look fine, but the PDF file has the black box that you are talking about. Also happens when we print to a Xerox Phaser 7300. When we print to a "HP designjet 800" it will print fine. Does it has something to do with the Xerox printer driver???? We have all the latest updates we beleive? We started with Acrobat Adobe 8.1.1, a new install shouldn't have to install 8.0 first should it?
