Printing problem with printable DVD/CD

Does anyone have any idea why my Epson photo Stylus r300 printer is all of sudden not printing correctly on my printable media? I have printed may before but all of sudden they are coming out crooked. I use Epson print CD software and have tried different alignments but nothing changes when i go to print.
Please help.

I solved it!! In Epson Print CD there are pull down menus and under file you go to "inner /outer diameter setting"where you can change the diameter to the dimensions to that of the DVD you are using. I got help from Epson thru a rep from a company called CDW who contacted Epson for me.(Otherwise, Ithey wouldn't help since my warranty has expired)
The Epson guy suggested that I create my DVD artwork in another program such as Photoshop or Apple Works and then import it as a background into Epson Print CD.( Rather than create in the Epson program itself) I think this helped a lot. I reset the print adjustment (also under File) to 00 and it now prints perfectly!!
Just thought this might help someone in the same predicament if they can understand what i have written. I find people so helpful here that i am trying to give back.

Canon 860 Series (Pixma) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips

After spending several hours sorting out Canon Pixma OSX problems here are my thoughts:
Canon 860 Series (Pixma 868) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips
Problem:
- New imac and MacBook Pro 2012 (OSX 10.8.2) had a problem using Canon Pixma 868 printer on network and would not scan or print using Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print), which has advanced scanning and photo printing functions.
- When I connected the canon printer to my imac, OSX 10.8.2 automatically downloaded and installed drivers for Canon 860 series printer. I could then add the new printer (select ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”) and printer would work while connected via USB but could not get to print or scan over network wifi.
- The original Canon 860 Series CD does not work with 10.8 and the manual / online instructions did not make sense (as based on CD install).
Solution:
1) Install Canon Printer Drivers and Software (from official Canon site)
Go to canon support site, review FAQ, then download and install following Pixma 860 Series software & drivers for OSX 10.8 (links see below). The version I downloaded is in brackets but check for updated version. Full instructions are below.
Canon 860 Series Drivers & Software for OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion:
The base software and drivers needed for using Canon 860 Series on Mac OS X 10.8 (USB) are
1 Printer Driver
(Canon MX860 series CUPS Printer Driver Ver. 10.67.1.0 (03-Aug-2012))
2 Scanner Driver
(Canon MX860 series Scanner Driver Ver. 14.11.4a (03-Aug-2012))
3 Network Tool
(Canon IJ Network Tool Ver. 4.1.0 for Intel Mac (27-Dec-2012)
Canon Software for using advanced printing and scanning functions (while connected to network)
4 Solution Menu
(Canon Solution Menu Ver. 1.4.1 (27-Jul-2012 ))
5 MP Navigator EX
(Canon MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 (02-Auf-2012))
6 Easy-PhotoPrint EX
(Canon Easy-PhotoPrint EX Ver. 4.1.6 (21-Jan-2013 ))
Canon Support (HK) – check your local site
http://www.canon.com.hk/en/download/main/index.do
Select Product and drivers from support site eg http://support-hk.canon-asia.com/
1. Choose a product category
Multifunctional Printers
2. Choose a product series
Pixma
3. Choose a product model
Pixma MX868
4. Choose type of document
Downloads or FAQ
If you have problems installing the software under 10.8, see the FAQ on Canon site. You will need to allow software installs from “unidentified developers by using “Control” Key or by changing your system preferences)
2) Check Canon Printer and Software Working while connected via USB
Once you have downloaded and installed drivers and software and restarted computer, check that the printer and Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print) are working via USB. Open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App) and make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it shows the correct SSID Wifi settings (under the Canon IJ Network Tool App ‘Setup menu’). This is normally done as part of the automatic install but worth double checking
3) Add new network printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”).
After you have checked USB printing turn off printer, unplug the USB cable and shutdown the Canon IJ Network Tool App.
Then turn the printer back on and wait 30s. Then add a new printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”). Once you select “+” (add new printer), wait 10-30s for the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer to appear in the new window eg Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) (Kind: “Canon IJ Network”)
DO NOT ADD THE MX 860 SERIES BONJOUR SCANNER (the Bonjour Scanner is the built-in software, is not needed and often appears first on the add printer list). The Canon scanner can be accessed used through the MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 software (which has much better functions)
You will now have two Printer Canon MX860 (USB) and Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network). Set the Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network) as default and test print and scan
If the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer does not appear, check the printer and make sure that the printer can see the wifi network. On the printer select Menu / Settings / Device Settings / Lan Settings / WLAN Setting List. It should say WLAN Active, identify the SSID and have an IP address
If the printer can not see the Wifi Network, plug the USB cable back in, then open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App). Make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it has your SSID settings (under setup), if it has this info, restart the computer and the printer and try again

Hi, thaks for response, meant to post as a discussion (not question), wanted to save others time if they get the same problem

Printing problems with InDesign CS3 running on OS 10.6

I recently upgrade my old G4 Mac (OS 10.4) to a new Mac Mini running OS 10.6.6. I am still running CS3 and have encountered only one problem. When I print multiple copies documents from InDesign that contain several layers, each copy is processed separately, so that it can take several minutes just to send the print job to the printer if I'm printing over 20 copies. Then once the print job is processed the printer pauses between every copy, which is tripling the printing time. If I print a simpler document with only one or two layers it processes all the copies at once, as it should. I am printing on an Okidata 6150 color laser printer.
I never had this problem on my old computer. I'm wondering if this is one of the "unsupported" bugs of running CS3 on Snow Leopard. I want to make sure that this is a problem unique to running CS3 with Snow Leopard before I go ahead and upgrade to CS4 or CS5.
computer: Mac Mini core 2 duo 2.4 ghz processors, 4 gb RAM, printer: Okidata 6150 DN color laser printer.

Hi again Peter
It is version 5.0.4. I updated it when I newly installed it a week ago in my new computer, and then again updated it just yesterday.
I might mention that before I got my new computer, I was running Mac OS 4.11, and was using InDesign 3.0. I had bought InDesign CS3 about a year ago, but hadn't gotten around to using it since version 3.0 had been working fine, and I was used to it. Then, when I got my new computer, I decided it was time to use the newer version. However, while using InDesign 3.0 with the old Mac OS 4.11, a printing problem popped up there, too, a few months ago... and it also involved printing problems with Adobe Reader. I contacted Adobe, and they sent me a patch which fixed it. I will contact Adobe again if need be, although I thought I'd start here first to see if it was a common enough problem that someone might be able to provide a free and routine answer.

I neglected to ask what version of indesign CS3 you are using. I also
notice that Mac OSX 10.6.4 has just been released. It actually
addresses some CS3-specific issues, though they seem to be related to
launching the apps, not printing. It may be worth trying to update,
nonetheless.

Printing problem with Summarize Comments?

Printing problem with Summarize Comments in Pro 10.1.6? When I print, I only get the number boxes on one page and the comments on the next page. The numbered boxes don't show up on the actual image itself.

Um I dont know if im doing something daft but I tried this like you said
PrinterJob printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
printJob.setPrintable(this);
if(printJob.printDialog()){
try {
          PageFormat pageFormat = printJob.defaultPage();
          if (pageFormat.getOrientation() == PageFormat.PORTRAIT) {
          landscape = 0;} else {
               landscape = 1;}
          System.out.println("THE ORIENTATION IS "+ landscape);
          printJob.print(); }
catch (Exception PrinterExeption) { PrinterExeption.printStackTrace();}
and it doesnt seem to work as I tried it both as landscape and portrait in the print dialog but landscape is always 0.

Printer problem with AW 6.2.9

I have a recurring printer problem with both hp deskjet 5150 and Epson R220. After much work with techs at both, we have determined that it is an AW problem (v. 6.2.9) Other files print okay. I've searched through recent posts and found similiar questions, but the answers aren't specific to my problem. I gather that it involves trashing certain AW files, such as Appleworks.plist and other Appleworks prefs. It will help it I know the specific files to trash and as much detail about how to find them on the HD. I will be infinitely grateful for any help.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
You are correct that deleting the AppleWorks preferences can fix some printing problems. I'm surprised that in finding that information you didn't come across a post with the specific information or a tip to my user tip, AppleWorks has stopped working correctly, that explains which preference files ot delete.
Make sure you have the newest printer driver for each printer. Also, use Disk Utility to repair permissions after any system update or upgrade.

Printing Problems with PDF - Adobe Acrobat

Printer - HP Deskjet 3070A
Laptop - Asus Zenbook running Windows 7 Home Premium
Issue: Printing problems with PDF (Adobe Acrobat Reader)
Dear All,
Please help!
My printer was working absolutely perfectly until my brother in law recently needed to borrow my printer. He plugged in his laptop running Windows 8 (awful thing that is). Since he did this to print his own PDF, I cannot print mine.
Although all the text will appear on the page perfectly both in the document view and on actual printing, it appears that some of the transparent formatting stuff on a PDF - such as boxes you have to fill in and transparent areas (such as you find on glorious tax forms) are omitted completely. In fact, in their place I was getting a single black dot. Now, after uninstalling and re-installing updates for the printer, windows 7, adobe acrobat reader, etc.etc. I get squat. Just all the text laid out but none of the shading or boxes.
I have tried fiddling with the printer settings; the print as 'photo' option, dpi settings, greyscale - as much as I can think of and I am thoroughly stumped.
In a desperate attempt, I even installed the Universal Printer Drivers - thinking it might have been that. No. All I got was a page of gobbledygook. Consequently, I uninstalled and reinstalled the normal drivers again.
If there are any wonderful people out there with any fabulous ideas about how I can get my shading and boxes back; I'd very much appreciate it. Sadly I have a tax return to fill out (which is already fabulously late) and need my printer to work!
Much appreciation in advance x

Hey there @Reverie!
Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!
I can see that the printer is no longer printing in the correct format after it was plugged into the Windows 8 computer! You mentioned you have run the updates and uninstalled/re-installed the printer software. Have you uninstalled and re-installed the Adobe software? Are you getting the same issue from other programs as well? Are you getting the same issues if you are logged in as a different user on the computer?
I have located the HP Update Software Utility that may be able to help. You can download an run the utility. It may be able to locate any other updates for the printer.
I would also recommend running a disk cleanup on the computer to clear any temporary files and junk files that may be causing some performance or software issues. If you do not know how to run a disk cleanup on the computer please follow this document regarding Delete files using Disk Cleanup. It is recommended to restart the computer after a disk cleanup. After the restart try the print job again!
Let me know if that helped and thanks again for posting on the HP Forums!

MOVED: Problem with SATA DVD/RW

This topic has been moved to AMD64 nVidia Based board.
Problem with SATA DVD/RW

I use the Plextor PX-712SA's with no issues. However...I do not believe the SATA versions require jumpers. Try plugging them in on SATA port 1 or 2, making sure those are enabled in BIOS of course. Make sure all connections are secure. There have been some issues with these particular drives not operating properly, but it has not been an issue with seasoned system builders, so the problems may be with the builder himself. Usually, Plextors are so good, they'll almost burn a paper plate! Try a different medium, maybe another brand of blank CD or DVD.
You may also want to check Device Manager in Windows, to see if it is listed "This device is working properly"!

Printing problems with InDesign CS3 with Mac OS 10.6.3

I am not new to InDesign... I have CS3... but I am brand new to Mac Snow Leopard (OS 10.6.3). Although I can open CS3 and use the application, I cannot print with it. None of my other applications has printing issues... just CS3. Any suggestions?

Default printer problems with adobe 10.1.2

I was having problems printing PDFs since upgrading to 10.1.2. After reading and trying many recommendations, I happened to notice that my default printer(I have only one printer) was listed twice on the print window. The first (default) printer is spelled "HP PSC 2350 series" (upper case 'PSC') The second is "HP psc 2350 series" (lower case 'psc') . The printer is named 'HP psc 2350 series' in my printers and devices, and if I select this printer, the page will print perfectly. Now that I have solved my printing issue, I would like to change the default setting on the adobe print window to come up as the active link, so I don't have to continue to select a different printer everytime I wish to print a document. The printer by the lower case "psc" name is set as the default printer in printers and devices, and I cannot figure out why it doesn't come up as the default printer on the adobe reader print window. I also cannot figure out how to change the default in the print window.   An added interesting fact is that I get no response in the print window when I try to select "preferences' or 'advanced' for the upper case 'PSC' printer.
My computer runs in Windows 7 (64-bit). The printer is HP psc 2355xi all-in-one. Any suggestions are much appreciated

I have not been able to select a different default printer for Adobe, but I can print if I manually select the correct link everytime.

I am having the same issue.The correct printer is selected as the default printer on the control panel and there is no driver with the lowercase convention.However, the first printer option that appears is the lowercase convention. Is there any way to select a default printer for specifically for Adobe, as opossed to the PC itself?

Im having problem with the dvd quality, I'm using compressor to convert the video fils from apple prores to mpeg2 .It doesn't matter how long my video is even if its just 5 minutes I'm getting cut edges in the video , does anyone have any idea ?

Im having a problem with the dvd quality, I'm using compressor to convert the video fils from apple prores to mpeg2 .It doesn't matter how long my video is even if its just 5 minutes I'm getting cut edges/lines in the video specialy if i have titles it comes up really bad , I took the same video to a friend of mine who have PC and he uses Encore , did the encoding there and it was just fine no problems! BTW I tried using doferent setings in compressor from CBR and VBR I even pushed up the setings to 8 or 9 BR and still no luck !
does anyone have any idea ?
Thanks in advence ...

Let's focus attention on just the Sony. (What model and what resolution are you shooting?)
For now, I'll assume you're shooting 1080i.
Take a representaive clip into a new sequence. Add a title.
In your sequence, make sure field dominance is set to Upper.
Set render settings to Pro Res 422.
After rendering, export QT self contained.
Import into Compressor (I'm now referring to v3.5).
Select the 90 minute Best quality DVD preset.
Open frame controls and turn on (click the gear icon). Set Resize filter to Best.
Submit burn and check quality on TV.
Good luck.

Problem with copied DVDs--"DAMAGED TS FOLDER" (HELP or I shall go MAD!)

Hi folks--really, really hope someone can help me. This has got me beat. And I'm by no means sure it's a problem with my computer, but...
The facts:
1. I recently acquired a Panasonic DMR-ES20 DVD recorder, primarily to make DVD copies of a number of old and treasured videotapes. These are from broadcast, so copy protection isn't a factor.
2. I often use my Mac as a TV to watch DVDs and have never had the slightest problem with commercial DVDs.
3. I am (or was) using Roxio's Popcorn 2 program to make up backup copies of the DVDs I make.
4. I made about 20 DVDs without problem, and ALL work perfectly on the Imac, and ALL can be copied via Popcorn 2.
5. Then, SOMETHING CHANGED, I have no idea what--but now, each and every DVD I make with the Panasonic shows up on the Imac as follows:
"The TS folder appears to be damaged."
These disks will NOT play on the Imac and cannot be copied with Popcorn 2. They DO play on the Panasonic machine, however.
6. I have tried varying media, including high-quality Taiyo Yuden disks. That didn't help.
7. I have reset the recorder to original factory settings. That didn't help.
8. I have used a disk lens cleaner on the Imac. That didn't help.
9. I have spoken with Applecare and (God help me) Panasonic. Both pronounced themselves baffled.
10. As am I. As things stand, I've got a lot of more or less useless equipment. Ideas? Hints? Suggestions?

The only time I have ever expierianced an issue like this is from doing extensive burning. The cause is from the storage of the cache files and some of the older TS folders even after you trashed them from your machine after you burned.
The only way I have been able to work around this is
First Repair Permissions as is submitted by Gulliver.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607640&#607640
I have also found that by running 3 freeware or shareware programs one right after the other and after the 3rd it will restart your computer all is well when I do it.
First run Macjanitor.
http://personalpages.tds.net/~brian_hill/downloads.html
Next run Cache Out X.
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/14850
And last but not least is ONYX.
take note when you run Cache out X and Onyx be careful to not delete your favorites in your browsers.
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/20070
A note of interest, I have had to do this after I have done a lot of copying to get rid of all the excesive junk that is left behind.
Give it a try.
Good Luck Don

Problems with burned DVD in iDVD - Works in some players, not in others

Hi, I'm having a strange problem with a DVD I burned in iDVD.
I have a disc image that I made in iDVD and then burn the Audio_TS and Video_TS folders to a DVD.
I burned to a Memorex DVD+R.
The video pops up fine and plays on my computer after it burns, but if I eject the disc and try to re-insert it, the DVD preview says "Supported disc not found". It did this same thing when I tried it in my Macbook.
It works fine in my standard DVD player, but I also tried it on my Playstation 3 and it did not play.
A few things I am going to try is buring directly from iDVD instead of first making a disc image, and also using DVD-R, although I heard that DVD+R is generally a better format to use.
Someone also told me that DVD+R does not play on macs, which I question.
If anyone has any other suggestions or might know why this is happening, I would greatly appreciate it. It is an important project that needs to be done soon! Thanks.
Message was edited by: Nathan Edwards1

The disc image option is within iDVD: File > Save as Disc Image. If you switch to DVD map map mode you can drag your movie to a spot prior to the menu so that the movie plays automatically when put into the player. Under advanced, you can set the movie to loop.... otherwise I think it goes back to the menu when done playing. BTW, all DVDs MUST have a menu it is part of the DVD specification. It is just a matter of whether you see the menu. As far as exporting your project back to tape... you won't loose any quality and your audio, along with your video and any editing to each will export back to tape. However, a MP3 is not generally considered a higher quality file (although perhaps the recorder was closer to the source?). As a matter of fact, if you are editing your audio I strongly suggest using a file sampled at at least 16-bit/48Khz, AIFF (or WAV or anything lossless).
In regards to the slow burn speed: I agree that a slower burn speed is better than the fastest burn speed (due to error corrections ect). However, I would choose a middle of the road burn speed. If my choices are 4x, 6x, or 8x, I would choose 6x. If it is 2x, 4x, 6x, I would choose 4x. And yes, quality of blank media can effect the playback of a disc that played once just fine.

Problem with burning DVD's

I have Roxio Toast Titanium and I have a problem with burning DVD's. When I put a blank DVD-R in my superdrive, select the files and go to burn; the advanced recording options will not let me deselect the check in "close disk". It is shaded. But when I use a CD-RW I can and so far the Roxio help has...well has not been help at all. I mean why would I spend the money to buy a software package that lets me do the same thing as the basic OS-X disk utility would let me do? Drag a file, burn it and close the disk from any future use....
Sorry if this does not belong here, I did not see a area for general software questions way back in the main forum area not one here.

Donald,
Hi and thank you.
To give you more details on what I am trying to do; I am trying to burn in Mac & PC format. I am mainly trying to back up all my assorted college files (I am a college student), these files are lecture notes in Word with embedded audio recordings, standard Word documents such as essays, etc., spreadsheets, PDF documents, etc. The files I am attempting to burn should not be larger than 4.7 gb and Roxio has not given me a warning that it would be.
I am just frustrated that when I put in a DVD-R or -RW I only have one option, and that is to close out the disk when it is finished burning it. I have also gone to the recording tab, on the menue bar, to uncheck the "close disk" box after I put in a blank DVD and before I select files to burn. The option is shadded preventing me from even trying, which is not the case for a CD!
Thank you!

Satelite 1400-503 problem with a DVD+R

Hello,
I have a problem with my dvd - rom. Family of me have burned a dvd+R. Now can't i play it on my notebook. So i tested a dvd-R and this works well.
A friend of me tells me that i can change some configuration of something like that so i can play the both formats. Can someone help me with this???

Hi
I don't think this is a setting to be changed. The drive must support the + format.
This is not very common if the machine is not very very new. If You get this problem with the built-in drive of Your Sat1400-503 and it is not replaced by some unsupported one, then I am very sure that it does not support the DVD+R format.
