Printing w/graphics and borders...

I have one small problem, when I'm trying to print an invoice from a osCommerce interface the packing slip to print includes in the shipping boxes straight lines and rounded edges which are not lined up on the Mac.
This is OS X 10.4.6 and I can duplicate it on Safari and Firefox.
Internet Explorer for the PC prints the invoices and packing slips fine with all lines and edges lined up, but Firefox along with Safari mis-align.
The alignment isn't off by THAT much, but it does take away from it's professionalism.
I'm hoping someone knows how to get around this.
Thanks!

I agree with you that printing of Logo & Framesare not very supportive in Dot Matrix Printer.
You can ask the Basis consultant to check & change the printer setting & may be it may work, as you have already mentioned that it is OK in Laser Printer. The Dot Matrix printer is currently unable to read the Logo & frame for printing.

Why do graphics and colors that appear on the monitor show up as blank spaces when printed out

Graphics (especially color) on emails and attachments show up as BLANK spaces when printed out.
Also, some color graphics and detail work of those graphics on familiar websites do not show up on my monitor
Both of these situations DO NOT occur on Explorer. With that browser - everything is OK

it may have worked, but gimping my system isn't exactly a solution, more of a band-aid.
its the equivalent of the old
patient says, " its hurts when i do *this* "
doctor replies," well, don't do that "
What do you mean "it may have worked" – did it or did it not?
Anyway it is not a remedy but diagnostics and if it makes a difference it points at the GPU driver as a likely culprit.

I am sending a single-page poster in Illustrator to a commercial printer. There are several placed graphics and I want to choose the correct file-type to keep my Illustrator file nice and small.

Printers like PDFs, but you should consult with the print vendor before you save the file in any particular format. Each vendor is different and have an established workflow. They may not accept JPGs. If the poster prints offset, you will need to supply the appropriate resolution per their request or what they require. If the poster is large format or grand format, then they will or should know what resolution is appropriate. However, large format inkjet only requires 144-150ppi at 100% final size. Try to get in the habit of consulting with the print vendor early on so you end up supplying what is needed.

Printing a graphic with a gradient mask in Flex 3-problem

Hello, I am fairly new to flex development. I am puting together a little program that allows the user to upload a picture add a vignette mask in order to achieve a soft edge, and have a problem I cannot find an answer anywhere, maybe someone could help me please.
I want to print a the user photo with a gradient mask or vignette from flex. I managed to show the image correctly on screeen with the gradient mask using this class but the output to paper is a rectangle without the soft mask.
//package to add the mask for display
package com.dm.graphics
   import flash.display.Graphics;
   import mx.containers.Canvas;
   import flash.display.GradientType;
   public class FrameBorderSoft extends Canvas
      override protected function updateDisplayList(w:Number, h:Number):void
         super.updateDisplayList(w,h);
         var g:Graphics = this.graphics;
         g.clear();
         g.beginGradientFill(GradientType.RADIAL, [0x000000, 0x000000, 0x000000, 0x000000],
         [1,1,0.8,0],
         [1,128,195,255],
         horizontalGradientMatrix(0,0,w,h) );
         g.drawRect(0,0,w,h);
         g.endFill();
It works beautifully until I try to print the graphic. The image prints but without the gradient edges (soft) instead it is just a sharp edge rectangle.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Here is my print function:
private function doPrint():void {
                // Create an instance of the FlexPrintJob class.
                var myPrintJob:FlexPrintJob = new FlexPrintJob();
                // Start the print job.
                if (myPrintJob.start() != true) return;
                // Add the object to print. Do not scale it.
                if (tabnavigator1.selectedChild == img1) {
           //switchcolor is a variable to detect if the user changed the background to white or clear.
                         switchcolor = 100;
                      //printCF is the card front container with the photo masked
                   myPrintJob.addObject(printCF, FlexPrintJobScaleType.NONE);
                   myPrintJob.printAsBitmap = false;
                } else if (tabnavigator1.selectedChild == img1b) {
                   switchcolor = 100;
                   myPrintJob.addObject(printCB, FlexPrintJobScaleType.NONE);
I hope this helps to visualize,
I would greatly appreciate any assistance or advise.

Hello, back on my issue, i tested a little bit more the message dispaching.
I read the lazyLoadPolicy class and noticed that it always has to have a ModuleId property in the message to work, that's why the broadcast message didn't work to awake the module with the lazy loading policy.
So i added copy of my module:
     <cairngorm:ParsleyModuleDescriptor objectId="test"
          url="TestModule.swf"
          applicationDomain="{ClassInfo.currentDomain}"
     />
     <cairngorm:ParsleyModuleDescriptor objectId="testbis"
          url="TestModuleBis.swf"
          applicationDomain="{ClassInfo.currentDomain}"
     />
Set them both with a basicLoadPolicy, and tries to dispatch a message to only one of them using the ModuleId metatag. I then noticed that both modules received the message and not only the one i expected.
I then changed the ModuleMessageInterceptor configuration to dispatch to only one kind of module:
<cairngorm:ModuleMessageInterceptor type="{ OpenViewMessage }" moduleRef="test"/>
and this worked as expected. Only the first module catched the message. I am obiously messing with the ModuleId metatag but i cannot see what's wrong...
I compiled with
-keep-as3-metadata+=ModuleId
but this hasn't changed anything...

How to print the Graphical of WF template to a document?

Hi All,
I want to print the Graphical view of the WF template in a Document or a JPG file.
There is a option to print the Graphics to File. It works fine for Smaller workflows. My workflow is too big with more than 50 - 60 steps.
How can I do this?
Thanks,
Sivagami

You have to use "Print to File: option only. Even if you have some direct option a single page in your document cannot occupy your whole workflow template.
When i was preparing my technical documents i used the same option and then had cut the document into seperate viewable pages in MS paint and pasted in different pages.
Alternatively you could also embedd your JPG as a embedded file in the document but the former method will give better clarity to the reader.
Thanks,

Copy and paste graphics and text in Acrobat 9 Pro

I'm a new user of Acrobat Pro and am trying to copy a combination of text and graphics from the top half of a page to the blank bottom half of the page. I've not had much success with what I thought would be a simple thing to do and would welcome suggestions. Here's a summary of the options I've tried so far for graphics, text, and both text and graphics.
A. Graphic Alone:
1. When I use the Select Object Tool, I can highlight the graphic but when I unclick the left mouse button, the highlighting disappears, so I can't copy the graphic.
2. When I use theTouchup Object Tool, only an oblong portion of the graphic is highlighted when I click on the object. The only way to highlight all of the graphic is to hold down the shift key and click on successive portions of the graphic until I have highlighted all of it. When I then right-click the mouse, I can copy the graphic. However, when I then place the mouse cursor in the bottom half of the page and do a righ-click paste, the graphic appears to be pasted on top of the original graphic. I can then drag the graphic to the bottom half of the page. I can also paste the object on to a blank page from Create PDF>Blank Page. Overall, this is not elegant nor intuitive, but it does work.
B. Text Alone:
1. I can copy the text but when it is pasted, it is not formatted like the orginal, nor can I place it where I want on the bottom half of the page. This is true whenther I use the basic copy function or the Touchup Text Tool.
2. When I use the Touchup Object Tool and click on the text, Acrobat places similarly-formatted text in a box that I can then right-click and copy. I can then paste the text on a blank page with the text formatted identical to the way it was on the original page. With several blocks of text formatted differently, this procedure could work but would require a lot of work to create a format with placement identical to the original.
C. Text and Graphics Together
1. When I use the Touchup Object Tool and attempt to highlight the top half of the page, the Tool insists on including the blank bottom half of the page in its selection. I can copy everything on the page but I haven't found a way to select just the objects in the top half of the page -- I can copy some, but the selected objects aren't highlighted and so this isn't a satisfactory route. It seems obvious to me that Touchup Object should be able to select just the objects I want. But then, even the Select Object Tool doesn't do that, either -- it Selects an object but then you can't do anything with the object.
2. Using the snapshot tool, I can highlight both graphics and text and copy them -- I can even export them them to another program via the clipboard and create an external file. However -- regardless of whether I just copy and paste, or do a Touchup Object file import, or whether the file is bitmap or jpg -- when I paste the resulting object or file onto a page in Acrobat, the image always comes out at 200% of its orginal size. I looked for a Resize option, but couldn't find one.
This is all very time-consuming and frustrating since what I am trying to do is not rocket science. Surely there is a simple way to do this.
By the way, there are no security restrictions on the file.
George

Hi,
In response to both "...is that normal?" — Yes.
PDF is not a file format meant to support editing of layout/format/etc or text content creation.
You'd master content in an authoring application (FrameMaker, InDesign, MS Word, etc.).
The PDF file is the output of this mastered content.
Some minor touchups are possible with Acrobat (think whiteout/correction tape on a printed piece of paper -- PDF page content is the electronic "finished paper").
With that said, you might play with File > Create PDF > From Blank Page and use the Typewriter tool to enter text.
To output MS Word content to PDF use the Adobe PDFMaker.
Prior to Word 2007, you'd use "Adobe PDF" on the menu line.
With Word 2007, you'd use the Acrobat Ribbon features.
Be well...

Browser won't print website graphics - only text

Does anyone know how to print up web pages so that the graphics on that page will show up and not just the text? I have tried printing with both Firefox and Safari and both refuse to print the graphics. I have a new Epson Color Printer.
Any advice, suggestions would be great.
Thanks.
Patrice

Neither Firefox or Safari have a setting that stops the images on a site from being printed. Therefore there must be a setting with your printer driver that is causing the incorrect output.
As a test, choose to print but from the print dialog, select PDF and save the file. If this PDF has the images, then you know its something to do with the Epson driver.

Sorry BD. Looks like we replied at the same time. At least we had the same idea..

Pdf files print with horizontal and vertical lines

All of a sudden, today, when I print pdf files, they print with horizontal and vertical lines. I thaught it was the computer or printer. So I printed from another computer on the network, and printed to a different printer with the same result. It is not just that one pdf file either, I have tried multiple files. HELP. Does anyone have any ideas?

It is not clear how you are creating the files. It appears that they were created by Distiller from PS files that were created in some way. I also noted that you are using AA8.1.0. You may want to try to update (do all the updates in order) as a possible fix. It may be in the creation process also. Several packages will split large graphics into parts and create the image. I think this is a characteristic of OFFICE 2007 (docx) files - but I am not sure yet. Tell us how you created the files - step by step, including the scan.
If you have the original documents, why not simply print to the Adobe PDF printer. The result would be smaller and a lot cleaner.

My HP psc 1210 all-in-one, suddenly stopped printing any text. it will print the graphics.

I believe I have tried everything. The HP psc 1210 series all-in-one refusses to print text. nor will it scan or copy. I have done all the troubeshooting that I can find. Still will not print from PC or copy. I think it will scan to the computer. Icon with gray circle around it, states it is offline, yet from the control panel, printer and faxes, shows it as being online and ready. What else can I do to remedy this problem? Thank you in advance.

There may be 2 separate issues here.
-For the offline portion, check this document out:
Printer is offline
-For just printing graphics, this would make me think that the Black cartridge is empty/low on ink/malfunctioning. Try printing a black and white picture. That would let you know if it is the cartridge or not.

Can we create graphic and text in the same window of smartform without using template?

we create graphic and text in the same window of smartform without using template?

Hi Kinjal,
as far as i understand you are talking about a template which you can partitioned and in one part you wants to show your graphics and in other part you wants to print your text, the border of template shall remain invisible.
If you wants to do it without using a template, you can do it as sujjested by Susmitha, but creating a template will provide you more flexibility that if you wants to change the attributes in future you can do it easily.

I cannot see the background color and borders when exporting

I created a 10 page document with a background color and borders around the images (I am usiong InDesign 5.5), when I export it to PDF I only see white pages with my images, what am I doing wrong?

I suspected as much. [Paper] is the absence of ink -- it means don't put anything here and let the paper stock show through and in the PDF it is essentially transparent ( the PDF only shows a white background to keep you from seeing the insides of the monitor -- well not really, but Acrobat doesn't dispaly transparency with grid the way Photshop does). The ability to edit the swatch is a convenience to make it easier for you to visualize what your design will look like on colored stock.
If you want a colored background you either need to print on colored stock, or you need to print the color in the background by creating a frame and filling it with the color of your choice. I doubt you will be printing on a dark brown, especially since there are areas of white in your design, and the only way you get white is by leaving the paper blank iin those areas, or using an opaque white ink, which is bothexpensive and not very practical in photos, especially over a dark color.

Printing Business Graphics

Hi all,
Using WD Business Graphics I've generated a Gantt chart in my application. Now I want to print that chart. I tried the simplest way- right clicked the chart and gave print. But it printed only a single page and the chart being a lengthy one, I could get only a part of it in the printed page.
Is there a better way to print business graphics?
Regards
Shyam.

Hi,
You can use the PRINT_PREVIEW Command and set the pages and print the Jgannt.

I am trying to print redplum coupons and I can't, help. I have updated java, adobe flash, and made sure my printer was set on default. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I have contacted redplum and no one will help.

I am trying to print redplum coupons and I can't, help. I have updated java, adobe flash, and made sure my printer was set on default. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I have contacted redplum and no one will help.

No Apple response??? Redplum/Valassis will not help either. I searched, using the cups error message and though it is Unbuntu, same error so maybe useful...only problem: details would not display unless I join Unbuntu forum. What a pain to do anything with my Mac or find any help. I honestly regret buying this buggy OS.
Anyway, here is what I found, FYI:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=483415
As the old saying goes: when in doubt, consult the manual. The problem appears to be that I added the printer using the KDE Add Printer Wizard. It was automatically given a "socket" URI instead of an "lpd" one. When I:
- altered the printer settings at http://localhost:631 (the CUPS admin page) as instructed in the manual for the printer, and
- copied the PPD file into a second place on the hard drive (as instructed on ubunutuforums, see the link above)
..everything started working.
It's still slower than windows, but I can live with that
Probably a simple fix. Change the socket I.P. to match the printer I.P. like this:
socket://192.168.1.86:9100. The thing I'm concerned with using socket:// is that AFAIK the printer I.P. must not change. In my case I'm able to assign a static I.P. address to the printer but it's something to consider.
I found that the only thing I needed to do was change socket to lpd (and remove :9100 off the end as well). See Solving Ubuntu printer broken pipe problem (DocuPrint C525A) . BTW thanks for steering me in the right direction - very grateful.
Solving Ubuntu printer “broken pipe” problem (DocuPrint C525A)
Posted on November 25, 2008
Are you having a problem with your printer under the latest versions of Ubuntu (perhaps it worked under an older version)? Are you able to print short documents, but not longer, or more graphics-intensive, documents? (e.g. the unfortunate people at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=625493). Do they sit there as Processing for ages and then switch to Held? If you have the same problem I had the solution I tried may work for you too. Firstly, check your cups error log:
sudo gedit /var/log/cups/error_log
If you see anything like the following, the solution may be simple:
[Job 201] Unable to write print data: Broken pipe
PID 13359 (/usr/lib/cups/backend/socket) stopped with status 1!
System > Administration > Printing and right click on your printer, selecting Properties. Settings > Device URI
If you see something like socket://your_printer_ip_address:9100 just change socket to lpd and remove the :9100 off the end. Then click on apply.
Apparently lpd is a more modern protocol which works with most printers whereas socket is more raw (and potentially faster but riskier in a network situation). Somewhere along the line, the default Ubuntu/Gnome setup for networked printers shifted from lpd to socket. Some primitive printers will have benefited whereas a larger number of more modern printers will have suffered.
Please correct me if I am wrong (which is highly possible) but the underlying problem could be that socket may make the printer wait a long time for a large file to be processed ready for printing. Some printers, such as the Fuji Xerox DocuPrint C525A, may drop the socket if things take too long to start coming through.
Changing timeout settings might work but lpd is better than socket so it is the preferred solution in any case.
If this works for you, please leave a comment to let others know (ideally with a description of the printer and Ubuntu version). Printer may be relevant if it doesn’t support the direct stream protocol properly. NB I may take a while to let your comment through because of the volume of spam. Sorry about that.
Finally, thanks to sphilli8 for the steer in the right direction at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6245626.

Printing with BufferedImage and Text Quality

I am using PrinterJob to print text/graphics.
In my paint method, if we paint directly on the graphics handle using Graphics2D methods, the text quality is very good.
Our application has to manage a lot of data, and to handle the callabcks for the same page, we are painting to a BufferedImage, and then drawing the BufferedImage unto the graphics handle on the subsequent calls. The overhead to draw the page is significant, and this give us much better performance.
The PROBLEM IS, the quality of the text using the bufferedImage is like draft quality test, not the high resolution text we get when we paint directly on the supplied handle using the native drawing emthods every time.
Any idea how we can buffer the page image, and retain the text quality ?
In the paint we do:
m_Image = ((Graphics2D)pg).getDeviceConfiguration().createCompatibleImage(m_wPage,m_hPage);
m_Graphics = (Graphics2D) m_Image.getGraphics();

Culd u share the fix if u found one
