If it's a postscript issue, you can try exporting as a PDF
first and then
print that.
Otherwise, perhaps your images are just low resolution?

Print to non postscript printer

can i print from adobe illustrator cs 6 to a non postscript printer?

Thanks gentlemen!
I just move to Singapore from the US. In the US I have always had Postscript enabled printers either in the printer or via driver.
The big brands [Epson, HP, Canon] don't sell the same printers models here and finding a Postscript enabled printer is like finding a needle in a digital haystack.
Also the people that work for those companies locally, don't even seem to know the capabilties of their own devices.
They only know what they can read off the box.

PE7 Color Management with a Non Postscript Printer

Hello,
I have an Epson Stylus Photo R800 and images are coming out quite dark, sometimes with a blue cast to them. My monitor is calibrated via the Pantone Huey Pro and I'm curious if anyone could help me in figuring out what adjustments to make so that my prints are "close" to the original. I know that WYSIWYG is not possible, but I should be able to get closer than I am. LOL.
If there are any books or tutorials that would help me in particular, that would be helpful to me as well. I also have the ICC profiles for the Epson paper that I use. The issue in part at least appears to be that PE7 won't manage or allow color to be managed unless the printer is a postscript printer. There don't appear to be any postscript drivers for my printer on the Epson website. Perhaps there are some 3rd party utilities that could help as well.
Thanks!

Well I went to the websites mentioned and I found out where to set the printer profile in elements, but it still comes up with the postscript error message, stating that calibration is inherently a postscript function and as the Epson Stylus Photo R800 is not a postscript printer, it turns calibration and color management in general off. *sigh of frustration but not giving up!*
That does explain why the colors are so far off. I wonder how to apply my printer *and* monitor profile to elements. I believe elements uses my monitor profile by default, but if it won't turn postscript off so that it is compatible with my printer, that won't work. Wish I could afford the full photoshop, this might not be a problem then.
I also tried saving the file as a pdf but that did not work. If I'm not mistaken, and I could be, that also includes postscript by default, which as I got the postscript error message again when I tried to print the pdf, I would have to believe it does. Is there a plugin that might help?
Funny thing is the original image is in the .jpeg format, not eps.

Install Non-postscript print on Solaris 10 x86

I tried to setup a print queue on solaris 10 x86 for a Brother HL-1230 non-postscript printer which attached to Linksys EPSX3 print server parallel port 1 (L1).
The network configuration as followed:
EPSX3: 192.168.2.250
Solaris box: 192.168.2.170
/etc/hosts:
192.168.2.170 neptune
192.168.2.250 epsx3
I used the printmgr to setup my print queue. In the destination field I typed epsx23:L1 and pick up the printer drive by model number using ppd file.
I'm able to use the print queue to print text file, eg. /etc/hosts.
However, I didn't get any ouput from web browser. When I print from the PDF viewer, it complained there is no supported postscript printer.
Did I do something wrong in the setup? When I used the lpstat -p command to see the print queue status, it return nothing. Is there anything wrong with the print server daemon?
Thanks.

Hi I have one more doubt, if you can help-me.
I set PATH like this:
#PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH; export PATH
and work, but if I restar the machine I need do set PATH again: #PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH; export PATH.
Have any way to save this?
And I have the same problem with:
#BOOST_ROOT=/xtras/boost_1_34_1

Non postscript printer color difference

i am trying to understand when the colors i use in Illustrator or CorelPainter IX print differently than what is on the monitor - I just did a handpainted project in Painter - I scanned in the sketch to Illustrator and hand sketched over it to Illustrator - I then brought it into Painter to color - I dropped all of the layers and placed it into Illustrator to finish it - when it printed it gave me the message of colors will be different when i print on a non postscript printer - i don't remember ever getting this error before - i was going out to kuler to get colors and "making" them in painter by using the rgb values - after all this work it printed different in both Illustrator and PS - any help or tutorials on colors, printing, and non postscript printers would be helpful - i am also going to call my printer's customer service dept to help me out on this - thanx in advance O_O

If your Illustrator document color mode is CMYK, you must print to a PostScript device to ensure accurate color. That can be a printer with native PostScript firmware or something like a typical inkjet printer (an RGB device, CMYK inks notwithstanding) operating via (usually) optional PostScript RIP software.
A non-PostScript printer expects RGB data. When you print a CMYK document on such a device, a color space conversion must occur somewhere. That conversion is out of your control; hence, the unpredictable color.
You have several choices:
1. If your output is to your non-PS printer and
only that printer, work in RGB mode in Illustrator. You will then have the full range of color management options available to you.
2. If you must work in CMYK (because you are ultimately going to press) and you wish to do local proofing, buy a PostScript printer or, at least, a third-party PostScript RIP for your existing printer, if available.
3. You can use the "poor man's proofing" method: Assuming you have Acrobat,
print (not
save, not
export) to PDF using settings that convert to sRGB (e.g., for screen viewing). You can then print the document on your non-PS printer from Acrobat (or AI) using RGB color management. It's not the same as #2 above, but your colors should be reasonably accurate. This works because the Acrobat Distiller engine is, in fact, a PostScript RIP.

Printing EPS on a non-PostScript printer

I'm using a package that generates graphics as EPS files. I need to embed these into MS Word - no problems so far! I have a DeskJet 990CXi (a non-PostScript printer) and can't find a way of printing from Word. I installed GutenPrint this morning; it installed fine, but the instructions on how to add it as a printer did not work on my system (10.4.5) - the instructions said there'd be an "Advanced" option, but it doesn't exist on my system! Any advice gratefully received, the easier to understand, the better!

I've found a workaround (more on that later), but a description of what I wanted to do: I have MS Word and I was importing EPS graphics into it. Word (v.X) would not print the EPS graphics on my HP printer, it would just print a low-res tiff graphic that was included in the EPS file, not the high-res EPS. I'd be interested to know how I could have got Word to print the EPS on my deskjet, might be useful for the future. If I had a pure PS or EPS file I don't think there would have been a problem; I think the problem was that the EPS was embedded in a Word document. I then installed gutenprint and, on my iMac, I could not get the "Advanced" option even though I was pressing the keys described in their help file. Thank you for the info on how the behaviour has changed in Tiger. I subsequently installed usbtb and things started to look a little more promising; it could see my printer. When I tried to print, the print queue kept stopping. This morning I've deleted gutenprint and usbtb as I no longer need them: I found that I can import the EPS graphics into Pages and they are converted automatically into PDF and are then scaleable etc in Pages and print with excellent results! Interestingly, importing the converted PDFs into Word gives really poor results. So, I'm going to use Pages to create my document and print to my deskjet using the standard Mac drivers. Thank you for taking the time (a) reply to my message and (b) to read this long message!
Regards,
Graham

Installation of Ghostscript in order to print to non-Postscript printers

Hi,
As I understand Ghostscript can read a PostScript or PDF file and convert them into a form you can print on a non-PostScript printer.
As a reason what we have no postscript printers , I want to use Ghostscript for printing reports into OA 11i on printers without postscript drivers.
I will appreciate for any suggest and help for better understanding of how to install Ghostscript and usage/practice with it.
Regards

Would Archive and Install be the best option, then?

Printserver and the non-postscript printer

Hi
Hope someone can help me. I recently bought a Linksys PSUS4 printserver so I can share a HP DeskJet 840C printer over my home network. The printserver is hooked up to a Linksys router, the printer connects to to printserver via USB.
Now, I can print without any problems using a PC with Windows XP. My Mac (connected to a router via Airport) "sees" the printer via AppleTalk, however it identifies the printer as being a postscript one, which it's not. When I tried to print anything from the Mac, I got only a line full of meaningles letters and the printer won't stop "printing" empty pages until stopped manually.
I've tried to specify the printer model and Gimp drivers, but it just doesn't work.
There's no Bonjour option when adding a new printer in the Print setup utility. The printer works fine when connected via USB.
It all works fine when working with postscript printers - my brother's network is build using the same Linksys router and printserver and I can print using his postscript printer OK. It's the same at work.
Any suggestions?
Many thanx

I guess you should be using the HP Deskjet 840C Gimp-Print driver included in OS X. Is that the one you tried?
Look in the manual for the print server - which protocols does it support? If TCP/IP raw or port 9100, that equals IP printer >HP Jetdirect in OS X. That's the easiest one. Can you use a browser to log into the print server and find out the port name/queue name for the LPD or IPP protocol?
Before adding printers again, try Reset Printer Setup, a menu item in Printer Setup. Then restart the Mac, then Add.

Photoshop non postscript printer issue...

How to print a QR code on a non postscript printer?

Hi experts,
I wanted to output a QR code on my smartform and I actually successed by following the steps of Robert Russell's instruction(his blog). But it turns out that if you want to print a QR code then you must use a postscript printer but not a normal(?) printer such as the one in my office(Canon LBP3910).
I have tried to:
download the newest version of driver about Canon LBP3910 and import it as a new device type into SAP. Then edit the spool format(insert credit,bwipp encode ,render to format DINA4) and print control . Assign this device type to my printer.
I tried several times but it didn't work at all. So I wonder if we can print a QR code on a non postscript printer.
Thanks for your help.

Can I post a new question here? I know you guys are professional on creating barcode. So, ...thanks. Can anyone tell me how to create barcode in ASP.NET using VB.NET? Must I use such a tool? I am new to this. So I do not have any experience of creating barcode. Thank you, guys. By the way, I read the passage called the barcode image settings in VB.NET. So the created image can be changed?

Can't print to a non Postscript printer on Mac

How do you get inDesign to print to a non postscript printer (HP laserjet 1200). Running CS3 on Mac 10.4.11
iD will not let me sellect the printer but defaults to Postscript file.

A quick way around printing to any non-PostScript printer is to export or distill a PDF and print that.
I've used this trick for years to print "colour proofs" on various different inkjet printers.

IBook printing with Belkin Wireless Print Server

Hi Guys
Ok, I wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction. I am a windows user (groan!, get a proper computer, yes, I know. lol lol) But trying to set up a simple network consisting of three pcs, one laptop all running windows xp/vista and one IBook. Not the best on macs but can find my way round!! All works Ok as far as seeing each other on the network and communicating/internet etc. Have introduced Belkin wireless print server to network and all ok for windows regarding printing wirelessly over the network. However, the IBook I set up as IP printing and set the appropriate address in the ibook printer setup screen. But when printing from the IBook it says the print has gone but it is actually stuck in the queue and never prints. Can anyone help with what may be a simple entry in the setup or is it some black magic IBook setting that evades us windows users??
All help will be gratefully received and promise to look at conversion!!
Thanks in anticipation of help..........

Your printer is a non-postscript printer and requires a CUPS driver in order to use the network printing protocols which are part of the CUPS system in OS X. Except for Brother, no manufacturer of non-postscript printers is providing CUPS drivers. The printer model doesn't show up because the OS X driver only works for USB. Apple tried to get around this by including open source Gimp-Print (CUPS) drivers with OS X. But very few HPs are supported. You should try HP Deskjet 900 Series, Gimp-Print driver to see if it "might" work.
For PPC Macs, there is another open source driver set that supports most HPs, including yours:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/hpijs/
But, these aren't Universal binaries, so they don't work on Intel Macs. The source code is available, and I think it will readily compile on your Mac, but I don't have an Intel Mac to try that on.
Next issue - print server setup. We don't have auto-setup software, so we have to read the manual closely and decide which protocol to use. If it's IPP (=internet printing protocol, not IP printing) or LPR/LPD, you need to find the print server's queue name (sometimes called port name), and enter that in Add printer dialog near IP address.
There are other ways to do network printing. The Airport Express print server from Apple allows you to use the USB driver because it uses Airport-Bonjour software to redirect USB output, instead of using standard protocols.
Hope this helps.
