Problem with Printer Margins

I am working from a Dell Optiplex 755 with Windows XP, Illustrator CS2, Acrobat 8 Pro and an HP 4345 printer.
The problem is summarized in the below paragraphed points:
We print on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper, with artwork sized for 8.5 x 11 exactly. The artwork contains 4 quarter page images to be cut into flyers, which each have 1/4" margins all the way around them. There is a back side as well, created with the same specifications. We wish to print these flyers duplex from high quality PDF files that we created in Illustrator.
When the print comes out, the right hand margin of the sheet is larger than the top, bottom, and left margins.
The top, bottom, left margins= 0.166"; this doesn't effect the top, bottom, and left sides of the artwork, as the .25" margin we setup on the artwork is greater than the .166" margin of the print area.
However, the right hand margin= 0.306"; this means that the right side of the artwork gets cut off by .056" (.306-.25")
In order to fit all of the artwork on the page, we can either shift the Page Tiling Print Area over slightly, or we can select the print option "Shrink to Fit". However this is a problem because we are printing the two sides as a duplex (printed both sides), and the tiled artwork on the front won't line up what is printed on the back because of the larger right margin. Therefore if the sides don't line up when we go to cut, the information is going to be cut off on the opposite side to the one we are cutting.
The printer setting for 8.5x11" paper "Letter" is what we believe to be creating the offset margin. (We checked the specifications for a Letter print, and the standard margins were identical to the ones we see exhibited in the print outs, 0.166" vs. 0.306")
We understand that there might be a way to set up your own custom print setting through Adobe Acrobat/ Photoshop/ Illustrator for a specfic type of print job, allowing you to control the print margins, but we are not familiar with the process.
Can you think of any other possible causes and/or solutions for the problems that are described?

As is detailed above, I am working with Illustrator CS2. The graphic is setup on an 8.5x11" artboard with guides set to have a 1/4" margin on all sides.
To create the PDF file, I just do a Save As>Adobe PDF through Illustrator. So to answer your question, no, I do not have Adobe PDF selected as the printer. I have the HP 4345 printer selected and set to 'Letter' for printing on 8.5x11" page.

Problem with print photo 13x18

hi i have a problem with print photo (13x18) size it cut in the end of photo i use hp photo creations but if choose 100%size or full screen same result please what can i do; i am disapoint to buy this printer if photo print so

Cornelia-I, I used "single/image contact sheet" and there is a Lightroom
Template for 2x2 cells. I modified this a little to make the cells smaller
to provide room for the captions and margins for hole punching and binding
the sheets.
No, I surely did not type in each caption. The captions were Title plus
Caption taken from the metadata plus a comma and # sign preceding the
filename which was a date/sequence number. I was printing four different
images on each page and 36 images total so there were nine pages of the
booklet.
I didn't try the idea of switching the Photo Info option off and back on to
the custom package because I had already created a custom preset and as soon
as I discovered that all it needed was to have a period added or removed at
the end of the line each time, it was easy to simply switch back and forth
between the two text presets which was doing the same thing you recommended.
Whole job was simple once I discovered that the problem was simply that I
needed a new version of the text string every time I printed and couldn't
simply keep using the same one over and over. The time wasted was lost
trying to figure out what was causing the lines to suddenly become truncated
when previously they had been there. Which is why I wrote it up so others
need not waste that time if they want to do this.

HP Officejet Pro 8600 "Problem with Printer or Ink System'

A gander at this forum suggests I am one ofa multitude of people perplexed by this issue. There is a notation beside one enquiry which says 'Problem Solved'.... well it isn't for me. My printer (typical!) is one month out of warranty. I had to replace the black cartridge and, when I did, it came up with this error prompt. I then replaced all the other cartridges. HP suggests removing the printhead and following that they say place it 'upside down on a clean sheet of paper'... NO instructions for cleaning it!! When it is replaced in the printer they suggest you 'rock the printhead left and right to make sure that the printhead fully seats in the carriage' and if THIS doesn't fix things 'try reseating the printhead up to 3 times'... This in itself is an admission of an 'issue' with this product. It doesn't sound like a very scientific engineering 'fix' to me!
A new printhead costs almost what we paid for the printer a year ago. I hate consigning anything to landfill that I can avoid... unfortunately it looks like that is where this unit belongs...

Thanks so much for replying to my post. I tried the fist suggestions and they did not work. So, I attempted to move on Dow to the cleaning of my printer. I am the the first to admit that I'm not the genius when it come to electronics buys, my printer do not seem to have what is described in the photos. I'd like to upload a photo of my ink cartage but do not know how.
Charleshia, you can upload a photo here to reply. Click Reply, then on the window you'll see the image below..
click the one which has the red box, it's where you insert the photo
Going back on your issue.. the basic step would be.. take out the inks then close the door... what error message you got? If it's saying "Missing Ink Cartridge" just hit OK. Unplug the power cable at back of the printer, plug it back in.. Clean the copper contacts on the ink cartridges using a lint free cloth then reinstall them. Let me know if it resolved it or not.. I can only give basic troubleshooting here

Problem with printing a PDF

Hi All,
I'm developing a web application written in J2EE that uses Java Reporting Component (JRC) to display crystal reports from some filters recovered from a jsp and passed to a report .rpt previously designed and invoked just at runtime.
I have a problem with printing a PDF:
I want, after entering the filters in a jsp, to print a report in PDF format (WORD) without opening it
with Adobe Reader (Microsoft Word). The class of API JRC used for export is ReportExportControl.
Can anyone help me?
I wish a great day to You all.

Hi Ted Ueda,
sorry for the delay of my answer.
I understand very well the problems related to security.
With the following code that I used to produce a report (PDF) at runtime,
is the PDF created on the server and then sent to the client, or is it directly created on the client as PDF
from RTF previously realized?
ReportExportControl exportControl = new ReportExportControl();
String report = report path;
ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();
reportClientDoc.open(report, OpenReportOptions._openAsReadOnly);
Object reportSource = null;
reportSource = reportClientDoc.getReportSource();
//The method setConnectionProperties() stores all the connection parameters in the collection
//ConnectioInfos
ConnectionInfos connInfos = setConnectionProperties(request, reportClientDoc);
exportControl.setEnableLogonPrompt(false);
exportControl.setEnableParameterPrompt(false);
exportControl.setReportSource(reportSource);
exportControl.setDatabaseLogonInfos(connInfos);
//Single method to pass parameters to Crystal Reports. Using classes ParameterFieldController and
//ParameterFieldDiscreteValue
setReportParametersValue(reportClientDoc, reportParameters, subReportParameters);
ExportOptions exportOptions = new ExportOptions();
//Set the export format (PDF)
exportOptions.setExportFormatType(ReportExportFormat.PDF);
PDFExportFormatOptions PDFExpOpts = new PDFExportFormatOptions();
exportOptions.setFormatOptions(PDFExpOpts);
exportControl.setExportOptions(exportOptions);
exportControl.setExportAsAttachment(true);
try {
      exportControl.getHtmlContent(request, response, getServletConfig().getServletContext());
} catch (ReportSDKExceptionBase e) {
throw new ApplicationException("error code", ": error message"); }
As, however, I predicted in my previous message about the direct printing on the client,
I read about ActiveX, but I don't know how to use them.
I read this information in the 'Crystal Reports for Eclipse Developer Guide' about "printMode" attribute:
"In ActiveX print mode, an ActiveX control is downloaded to the client machine and the report is send directly to the printer...."
The ActiveX alternative is a java applet that runs on the client and takes the pdf from the server and prints directly onto the clients through the commands that I used in the DOS command line:
1)     AcroRd32.exe /p /h FILENAME
where
/p = print
/h = hide window
to print the report and
2)     tkill AcroRd32
to close Adobe Reader, because it doesn't end automatically after printing and the command /h is used just to minimize the process.
I hope you can give me advice because I need to print directly on the client. Thank you

No, it is not set to overprint. Also, I have to add that the printing results were not consistent. Sometimes it covered and sometimes it did not.

Problems with printer and network connectivity

So I've been using an HP B110a photosmart wireless e-all-in-one printer that I got with my macbook pro and at the start, everything worked perfectly in terms of wireless printing, ePrint, and AirPrint. But recently, when I try to print wirelessly, it says the printer is not connected and I also can't find it on the list of nearby printers on the 'add printer' window. I also had problems with printing via ePrint but those have cleared up (I don't know what was wrong but it's fine now). Printing with AirPrint on my iPod touch has stopped working as well because the printer doesn't show up when I search for nearby printers.
Here's what I've checked/tried so far:
All the wireless services are enabled on my printer and my mac
I've reset the printing system on my mac, printer settings to factory defaults
Restarted mac/printer/iPod
Restarted router
Reinstalled HP printing software that came with the printer
All software is up to date
Wireless printing on another windows computer does work
Setting up wireless printing using the HP install disc doesn't work
Trying to add a new printer using the HP software disc that came with the printer is unsuccessful in locating the printer as well.
Printing over USB is problem-free
When I tried restarting the printer/router, I could see the printer for just a few minutes in the 'add printer' list but then it would disappear from the list and the printer would be 'not connected' so I can't print wirelessly.

I had a problem with print preview of billing document.

HI all,
I had a problem with print preview of billing document which contains two output types ZR1 ZR2..
For the footer text of billing document I maintained the font size as 7,5 pts, But when i go for print preview from output type ZR1 the font size of footer text is very small and looks good for output type ZR2.
If i change the print options-->logical destination of output type ZR1 same as Output type ZR2, the footer text looks good.
I think there is some issue with logical destination in print options for the output type ZR1, how can i resolve it.

hi,
for both the output types , r u using same sapscript or smartform?
if yes then, u can control it in output options of smartform and also in sapscript , you can control through if condition.
and if differect sapscript or smartform then you should not get such problem.
you can check the sapscript or smartfrom in TNAPR table.

You need to check your printer settings.Might be drivers are missing.

Problem with printing from Acrobat Reader XI

SInce I installed Acrobat Reader XI I have got problems with printing out pages. The text starts a bit down (2 cm) on the paper, resulting that the last part of the text on the page will be missing. And the missing part does not follow on page 2, it just don´t comes out!
It doesn´t matter what settings i click in on the print setting page in Acrobat Reader, it always gets the same result.
Does anyone know what can be the problem?

No files appeared in C:\Users\Pavilion\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings but they did appear in Distiller.
I tried to copied them from C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Settings, but found they were already there. I copied them by adding -COPY before .joboptions in the name. Now they appeared in Printing Preferences with the -COPY added.
I tested a print from Word (using File / Print), but was not prompted for the filename or location. I checked my entire system and couldn't find the PDF file anywhere. I tried changing the Port to Desktop\*.pdf using Printer Properties, but that didn't work either.
I was able to successfully use the Acrobat menu item in Word & Excel to create a PDF but it automatically created the file on the Desktop without an option to change the filename.
After several days and hours, I gave up and installed Acrobat X on the W7 computer. I can still use Acrobat XI on the W8 computer. So be it!
Thanks anyway for your attempts to help.

Problem with printing true colors

Had PSE7 and colors printed true and beautiful. Upgraded to PSE10 and all of a sudden colors printed muddy and dull with purplish overcast. Took printer in for service but problem persisted. Upgraded to PSE11 and once again colors were printing true and beautiful for over a year. Printed a card about 5 days ago using PSE11 - beautiful. Printed a card yesterday using PSE11 and colors muddy and dull with purplish overtones. Installed PSE13 and colors printing dull, muddy with purplish overcast.. I feel it is a problem somewhere in settings of PSE, but can't figure out where. I don't think it is a problem with printer. Both printer and PSE set to Adobe RGB. Color control set to optimize for printer. Using PC with Windows 7, 64 bit. Printer is Epson stylus photo 1400. Thanks for any help, Merrie

Problem with printing more than one page (ghostscript broken?)

Hello,
since one of the last package updates I have problems with printing more than one page. The print problems occurs as well with pdf files as well with printing websites. I use an actual KDE system with commercial turboprint printer driver. The first page always prints fine, but all consecutive pages are corrupted. As from a similar problem some months ago, I assume a broken ghostscript package. I tried to downgrade ghostscript to check that, but I get depency problems:
root@arch32 dieter]# ls -l /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ghostscript-*

Anyone else having printing problems or a solution for my problem?
Thanks, Dieter

This may not be related but I had a problem printing a pdf today whereby the second page got corrupted. The same pdf had printed fine several months ago. I realised that (long story) for some reason I had switched drivers (HP printer) from hpijs to hpcups. I installed the printer again as a "new" printer using the hpijs driver and it printed properly this time.
So it may be that the bug causes issues with some drivers. You could try an alternative driver for the printer as temporary workaround?

Problem with printing some report

hi very body
we have some problems with printing some reports.
the problem is when printing a report the computer processes stoped
and i should restart the computer a gain to print the report for first time and
then in the second time i have same problem.

Maher,
You can check out the new printer driver test utility verions2.0 on OTN at:
http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/reports/files/printerdrivertest.zip
This should help you determine if it is a printer problem or whether you should look into another area.
Also, you don't mention which version of reports, what command line options your using, the computer
configuration your using whether it is a network printer or local printer connected to the machine. Support
will need this information to help determine where your problem lies.

The Oracle Reports Team
