CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hi,I have a problem with VB6 application using Crystal Report 9.2 ActiveXViewers and RDC deployed on Vista. The reports are displayed correctly on the ActivexViewer (CRViewer9), but when the user prints the report (thru a HP LaserJet 4050) printer, the printer does not print the Underline formatting of any report objects present on the report. Example:
What the user sees on
screen (CRViewer9) is: u201CThis is a sample
textu201D
but what is printed on the
hard copy is: u201CThis is a sample
textu201D Please advise on a possible solution/workaround/upgrades for the above mentioned problem.Thanks.Arul.

Duplex Printing Problem - Word 2007, Vista and HP Officejet Pro L7780

I'm having trouble with duplex printing on my new HP Officejet Pro L7780, from Word 2007, running on a brand new Vista system. I've also had this same problem (repeatable) with two other computers, running XP Professional/Word 2003, XP Home/Word 2003. All of the service packs have been installed for the operating system, word, and printer.
If you print a landscape document, using the auto duplex setting for the HP printer, the margins will print out offset by .25 inches, on the left and rigt margins. So if your margin is 1 inches on right and left, the margins will print to .75 on one side and 1.25 on the other. This would be annoying, except that I'm trying to print brochures and books, which requires that the pages print out exactly as set up... "close enough" isn't working for me
The way I have replicated this problem is as follows: set up a document in landscape format, using the default margins. Insert an image on page one, size it so it takes the full margin area. On the second page, fill it up with text. Print the document, selecting the printer properties and setting Print on Both Sides=Automatic. The easiest way see the problem is by holding the document up to the light. The front and back margins should match and they don't.
Any help you can provide would be very much appreciated.

Diana,
This problem is perhaps much larger than you might have imagined. We have tried to work with Hewlett Packard for over two years on the duplex printing problems. In the process, we have expended over 100 hours of effort in troubleshooting the problem which has included updating software, reinstalling software, developing test documents, escalating issues, submitting technical findings, and in purchasing replacements. Unfortunately, our efforts to interact with Hewlett Packard excalated support have resulted in an aire of apathy, disinterest, incompetence, frustration, redundancy, occasional discourtesy, and an outright lack of professional decorum - something inconceivable of a large, reputable company.
We have identified several problems with duplex printing. The duplex printing problems include irregular margin increases (.25 to .50 inch), margin shifts, cut-off text, compressed text, and compressed graphics. Please note that most of these problems are only evident when printing documents from computer applications to the printer. If the user simply uses the front printer panel to copy in duplex mode, these problems are not always evident. This suggests that the printer mechanics are capable of properly duplexing and that the problem lies in the drivers.
The problem is evident on the HP OfficeJet Pro L7780, Photosmart L7180, Photosmart C6150, Photosmart 3310, and likely on many, many other HP models. The problem is evident on many computers (HP, IBM, Toshiba, and Dell), is evident in multiple applicatons (Word, Wordperfect, Excel, Peachtree, Notepad, and many more), and is evident on multiple operating systems (Windows XP Home, Windows XP Professional, Windows XP Media Center Edition, and Microsoft Vista).
We consider ourselves to be extremely polite, patient individuals, but have nearly been driven to outrage by the indignant disregard offered us by HP's escalation support department; a department which should represent the cream-of-the-crop in both service and technical expertise. Given the ease with which the problem can be duplicated, we expected an extremely quick resolution by HP who, to our knowledge, has never even made the effort to duplicate the problem in-house on our behalf.
Ironically, HP highly advertises their J.D. Powers rated technical support, yet it appears that they actually have extremely poor published consumer rankings in some of today's mainstream computer magazines. HP technical support makes no apologies for the fact the user cannot use a major feature of their printers, offers no indication that the problem is even being addressed, and off-loads the responsibility by suggesting that we contact Microsoft (who is to blame for this issue).
Thank you, Diane, for your message. We had a hard time imagining that we were the only one experiencing this problem, especially when HP promotes such a representation. Which also begs the question why HP plays like the problem does not even exist? I also fail to understand why HP technical support shows so little interest in a problem that is easily duplicated and adversely affects a major feature of the printer which is commonly used by individuals purchasing equipment for its duplex capabilities.
This is sad because we have been a loyal customer of HP for over twenty-five years. There was a time when we would have happily endorsed HP's steller products and steller support (provided you could get a problem escalated). Now, however, they all-too-often appear to offer equipment that fails to support advertised features which is backed up by sub-standard support and extremely expensive ink. This is an especially sad commentary for users who are buying HP's upper-end printers and computers.
We desire to know if there are others out there experiencing similar problems? If you have experienced these problems or would like samples of the problems we have duplicated, please respond. I think the more information we gather, the better our chance of a successful resolution to a serious problem.
Thanks Everyone!

Printing problems with HP Laserjet P1005

everything seems to be ok with my printer HP Lasejet P1005, but it just doesn't print. The works are in the gueue and error messages continually is "set the new toner cartridge" althrough I've changed the cartridge already. Also there is a message "HP:s part number"
What can or should I do??? Help!!!

Hi @rlp48,
I see by your post that you are getting the error message "set the new toner cartridge" and you have already changed it with a HP toner. I would like to help.
I would do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 60 seconds.
Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.
This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
Try and print a hardware self test on the printer to find out if it is a hardware or software issue.
Open and close the lid 5 times quickly. It should print out a page with lines on it.
Did it print the self test?
If the self test page printed, clear the Spool folder and restart the Print Spooler and try printing again.

HP 7960 printing problem

Until recently, my HP 7960 was printing just fine. Then, about half way through the printing process, the pics started turning green. I've cleaned the cartridges, replaced the cartridges using only new original HP ink cartridges, adjusted the print settings, reverted to the default print settings, and the problem persists. My OS is Windows Vista, which I've had for 3 years and never had a printing problem with the 7960. So, I doubt it's the OS. Someone suggested that I may have clogged nozzles but if so, why the color change only during the last half of the printing process?
Any assistance with this problem is greatly appreciated, and thank you in advance.

What I noticed is that you've been printing an alignment page everytime you take out and put those cartridges back in.
When the alignment page was printed were you able to scan it on the scanner glass?
You can check on the link below on "How to Align the Print cartridges"

Problems accessing Time Capsule on windows Vista

I have an iMac running Leopard and a laptop running Vista Home Edition. I'm having some problems accessing Time Capsule from the Vista machine. everytime I click to access the drive, a message appears in the menu bar of the window that says (not responding). I've tried leaving it. I've even changed my entire wireless network to bypass the original g router (belkin) to use TC, so I now have TC as my router, Belkin just setup as a wired broadband modem but I still get the same problem. The mac seems fine, although I have had quite a few issues with drop outs.
both machines have the latest version of Airport Utility and Bonjour.
The laptop is a recent purchase to replace a dead XP machine, this worked fine and I managed to get stuff backed up just before it died, thankgod.
Any help appreciated.

No problem seeing Time Capsule with iMac, Dell desktop XP Home, Dell notebook XP Pro, and Fusion with XP Pro. All installed according to the installation guide. Installed AirPort Utility on all machines and updated firmware to 7.3.1. To see the other machines, make sure file sharing is on. Firewall on the PCs may need to be turned off. The printer plugged into the USB port also worked with all the XP systems and the iMac with a few missing features on iMac (I am assuming different driver issues). BTW, logging onto the created network and accessing the Time Capsule HD are separate. If you've entered different passwords for the HD and wireless networking when setting up Time Capsule initially (which I did through the iMac first), you'll need to enter them separately with the XP machines. You could also try resetting Time Capsule. Seems to work for others.

Can not print PDF file at all with Windows Vista

I have Acrobat Reader 9.3.2. I am working off of Windows Vista on my laptop to a network wireless printer (Brother MFC 9440). I am unable to print pdf files. About a week ago, we had problems with our printer printing anything. I had to uninstall it and reinstalled it and it now works fine except the pdf files. I have had no problems printing any other files on any other programs but this one. I am unsure what specific "updates" I ran while trying to figure out printers issue. When in Reader, everything seems normal. When I hit print, the printer box pops up as normal and then I hit ok, my printer icon at bottom pops up for about 5 secs and nothing happens. I know that I am connected to printer due to all other programs can print. I do not have access to another printer to see if pdf will print on another printer, but do know that the other two computers used in this office (mac laptop and mac desktop) both are able to print pdf files to this printer without a problem. I have gone thru all the other help steps to try to resolve the situation: it still will not print when I hit "print as image", made sure that my printer is marked as network and is default printer, made sure to check that I have all upgrades, etc. I am not getting any error message, so am unsure what is wrong. It just will not print. Is there anyone that could give me some suggestions that I have not tried? I would REALLY appreciate it! Thanks!

Another user experience exactly the same issue with vista and printing from Adobe reader.

The problem was on my Auntys PC, and yes i did updated Adobe Reader to v9.3.2 and still the same issue underlned below.
My Aunty lives 70 miles away so will not be trying anything else.
The printer works fine with every other application only Adobe Reader files will print.

Lightroom 2.1 upgrade printing problem

I was getting great printing with LR 1 and my Epson R200 printer on Windows XP. My computer died and the new one is on Vista. I upgraded to LR 2.1 while I was at it. now my prints are way off color. I love the new color management features of LR, but there doesn't appear to be a Vista profile for the R200. I tried the one for the R300 and the prints have a decidedly yellow cast, which I can't seem to remove in LR. With the printer managing the color, the prints come out way too dark and weird colored. I need to finish some print orders, any ideas?
Thanks,
Dave

LR 2.1 Final still has the problem of 'sunburned faces' and other somewhat less noticable color shifts on my system.
Win Vista Ultimate x64
Q6600 @ 2.4GHz 8GB RAM
B9180 Printer
Advanced Photo Glossy profile
Application manages color
The same images using the same printer settings on the same system print just fine using Photoshop CS3 and Photoshop CS4 so the problem is definitely in something specific to LR.
And I have reported this to Adobe via http://www.adobe.com/go/wish and I suggest that anyone having printing problems with LR2.1 file a bug report.

Continuing printing problems with LR 1.3.1 (magenta)

Downloaded/installed the .1 version of 1.3 hoping that it would "fix" the magenta tinge associated with printing thru LR print. It did not. Still the same magenta tint. Although most of the discussion in previous threads had to do with MACs, I'm running a vista PC. This is a new PC ... previously had an XP PC running version 1.2 ... no issues. Do the issues identified for MACs also apply to PC users? Also not printing to an Epson printer, but to an HP B9180. Thanks.

Sorry I'm a bit late to this thread. Erik and Samora, I am glad that you solved the Lightroom / HP B9180 printing problem. Please keep this forum posted about HP followups or any future printing problems you may have.
Not to jinx you, but I have been down that road before. I started out with Lightroom printing with the magenta tint, mentioned by many others. I didn't understand what was happening since I had a managed workflow on my XP machine, and PS CS3 made excellent prints on the B9180. I spent much time on this forum looking for answers. Finally I thought I found the answer and changed the default printer to the B9180. (See http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bca1a12/8 for the full info.) Unfortunately, the good news didn't last. Within a couple of months Lightoom returned to its former bad behavior.
I think there is an insidious problem here with Lightroom, much more than people simply not selecting the correct profile or not understanding color management. What works for some people does not work for others. What worked at one time for me (see the above reference) now longer works. It seems that most people do not have a problem but others have great problems that apparently defy logic. The Lightroom bug bites Epsons, HPs, and Canons, as well as both Windows and Mac machines. After hours of analysis and testing, the best I can come up with is: "it just doesn't make sense." (I say this with tongue-in-cheek since I'm a highly-analytical person.)
After a couple hours of test printing, all unsuccessfully, I tried to reduce possible conflicting issues by deleting from the B9180 color management properties all profiles, except the HP PSPro B9100-Advanced Photo Glossy; this is so Lightroom could not inadvertently select another profile. I made sure that the B9180 printing preferences was set to Application Managed Color. Then I made sure that the profile selected in the Lightroom Printing module was HP PSPro B9100-Advanced Photo Glossy. Still the magenta tint. I also get the tint using a custom profile from InkJetArt for one of their papers. I do not get the magenta tint when I send Lightroom output to my old Epson 1280, which I also have connected to the computer (parallel cable instead of USB). It just doesn't make sense.

HP Photosmart 7760 printing last part of page issues in Vista (64bit)

Well, I've been reading up on the same issue ith other printers but never saw this model come up and I tried some of the suggested fixes for those other models and none seem to have worked.
I use a graphic software that actually shows me the printing margins and the right side margin in ladnscape or the bottom margin in potrait is about 3/4in which cuts of parts of my graphic being printed.
Now I can use the borderless printing option and it will work fine but the only problem with that is that it automatically sets the paper to photo paper and the quailty to best and I don't want that. Now regardless of me setting the print mode to fast draft(which is what i want) and the paper to general everyday use, the printer still prints in best quality which means it uses up more ink than I want.
Now I am not sure why HP has not fixed this problem which could probably be easily fixed if we were allowed to set our own margins just as we are allowed to with the left and top margins. In Windows XP Pro...I was allowed to change the margins on each side of the paper but in Windows Vista I am only allowed to change the top and left margins.
What gives HP...don't you want to take care of your loyal customers? When I went to check for upgrades and downloads for my model printer, it said that HP was not gonna make any software for Vista when it came to my particular model.
This is sad to hear and this is the reason why I bought my daughter a Sony Vaio laptop instead of an HP laptop. My loyalty can only go as far as you're willing to show me it's worth continuing to be loyal to you. Unlike the rich folk in America, I can't be spending money on newer products when the product I have still works like new other than this certain defect that is happening with this certain printing problem.
My motto is simple....either the company I buy from helps me fix the problem with their product or I no longer deal with that company. It's not like we as Americans don't have enough choices to pick from.
Anyhow, I hope someone can really find a fix for this problem...it looks like it's been going on a while and it seems like HP is trying to tell us in so many words that we got screwed and that's all there is to it. [text removed]

CS4 File Printing Problem

After recently experiencing a transient power outage I am having a problem printing a particular file from Photoshop CS4. The system seems to have recovered well from the electrical outage, with one exception. When I try to print a particualr file that I had been working on, I get the foillowing message.
The Vista-64 operating system recognizes the installed printers (two), my other apps have no problem printing to the default printer and opening a few other Photoshop files does not produce the same problem. In other words, the problem seems file specific. The question is how do I remedy the problem with this important file ? Duplicating its many layers in a new file does not solve the problem.

Have you tried the standard Tech response "have you rebooted the computer since you made changes"?
When you open up the PS print window does it list the correct printer?
Yes, I have rebooted and everyting else on the computer is happy with the printer setup. I've also reset PS preferences. It seems to be a file problem.
No PS print window opens- After the error mesage window is dismissed I am back in editing mode for the file.
I think I am going to have to create a new document and drag all the layers from the subject file into the new file and hope that clears up the problem. As I mentioned, selecting all the layers and using the Duplicate Layers command to a new file did not solve the problem.
Paulo
PS - update: I Created a new file, dragged all the layers from the problem file to the new file and the printing problem disappeared. Do not understand it, but when dealing with a probably corrupted file understanding is a stretch.

Officejet 4315 Photo Printing Problem

Trying to print photo. Getting fax setup page instead. Help!

make sure you're selecting the correct printer icon. there is a problem with Photo Printing Wizard and Photo Gallery in Windows Vista, where when trying to print, it does not select the default printer icon, and sometimes selects the fax icon.
so double-check the FULL name of the printer icon before printing.

Adobe 11 A3 Printing Problems

Hi,
We are having problems printing from adobe documents from Adobe 11 when printing A3 documents. It will print out the first page OK, then on subsquent pages it will askew the print and put it off the page. We are using Windows 7 Pro and printing to a new Lexmark C925 A3 printer.
Any suggestions ?

I went to the pull-down menu, selected "Print" and then at the bottom of the print window, there were 4 buttons (in addition to "OK" and "Cancel"): "Print Tips" "Page Setup" "Advanced" and "Summarize Comments." Under "Advanced" there is a "Print as Image" box near the bottom of the new "Advanced Print Setup" window that opens. Once you check the "Print as Image" box, you should be ok for any Adobe documents you open in the future.

Airport Extreme Printing Problem with HP Deskjet.

Hello ... I wonder if any helpful folks can assist me with my printing problem? I am using Tiger on a new Intel imac with a HP Deskjet 960C. This printer is listed as having the latest drivers included within Tiger and works perfectly when connected via USB so my problem I guess is not with the software....I have disconnected everything and plugged everything back together again. I also deleted the printer from the printer list within the Printer Setup Utility application.... The imac recognisies the printer and upon pressing the print button everything feels as though its just going to work. The blue barber shop scroll appears but the printer fails to kick into gear and I get the big red exclamation mark appearing in the status box .... I would really love to try and sort this annoying error ... Any ideas? Thanks. Book G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Hello jds17. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations.
Take a look at one of these iFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility links, depending on which AirPort base station you have:
o 802.11g AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) or AirPort Express Base Station (AX)
o 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn)
If your printer isn't listed, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try.
Also, you may find the following Apple article helpful.

Not printing text only on Canon--grahics print ok. Not printer problem. Prints ok on a Brother and another network Apple prints ok on Canon. Believe a computer setting was inadvertently reset. What setting and how do I reset?

Without your printer model numbers, readers can only give you vague general directions.
System Preferences > Print&Fax > ...
... shows a list of all set-up printers.
If you are having serious problems, it makes sense to "Reset the Printing System" (which also removes all printer set-ups) and add back each printer. It only takes a few minutes.
