Problems printing transperencies from acrobat pro 9 using HP laserjet 2605 dn

Hello:
I have been "printing" PDF's from an indesign CS4 document to acrobat 9 pro (both are part of cs4 master collection). The in-design documents include photoshop cs4 documents with transparencies which have been created by processing images using a third party filter (on-one mask pro 4.1). The PDF's look fine (they maintain the transparencies as they should), but when I try printing to my HP color laserjet I have problems -- a background shows up which is the shape of the photoshop document (eg, it loses its transparency).
is there any fix or workaround for this. In have played with lots of options for both the indesign document, the PDF document, and the HP laserjet printer, but nothing seems to help. the PDF always looks fine and the printed document always loses the transparency.
Any thoughts would be apprecaited.
Thank you.

"IF" You are using, OSX.4.11 Try locating , downloading, installing AppleJack (there currently isn't a version for Leopard or Snow Leopard). The to Run Restart holding down the Command-S keys. This put you in Single User Mode (Raw UNIX).
when a screen full of print scrolls through and your left with a Blink Cursor, Type applejack.
simply follow directions. go by the numbers follow them in order they are given.
Now items 3&4 you have to do once for your system, and once for each User Account (name you gave computer when setting up example you gave name as John Smith name for user account would be johnsmith).
Once completed (1-5)  hit return then choose Reboot or Shutdown.
In your case choose r and then hit return.
when it restarts wait, a whole bunch of cache files were dumped. You may even see the "dreaded "Blue screen for a little bit, and bits and piece of the desktop will appear until completely rebuilt.
After rebuilt Try printing.
If that doesn't work. Report back and maybe someone else can come up with an idea.

  • HUGE BUG printing Booklet from Acrobat Pro 11.0.10

    I spent an hour chatting with Adobe support in India. They could not solve this issue.
    I submitted a BUG REPORT at Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
    Here is the BUG Report:
    ******BUG******
    Concise problem statement:
    Steps to reproduce bug:
    1. Export individual pages from InDesign as pdf (16-page booklet, each individual page is 5-1/2" x 8-1/2")
    2. Open pdf in Acrobat Pro 11.0.10
    3. Choose actual size, then choose booklet, and print. (printer contains letter-size paper, and page set-up is set to 100% scale.)
    Results: The printed booklet is the WRONG SIZE! The pagination is correct as usual, but each individual page is being REDUCED, and now each page image is too small, and there is now a GAP between pages, and the entire booklet is useless. If you can, please see case number: 0186447426: support chat: it covers everything we have tried so far ... (We tried everything they could think of, but all attempts failed.) This bug was introduced somewhere along the line with Yosemite.
    Expected results: As usual, when printing booklets from Acrobat Pro, we expect the print to be the right size, the same size as the InDesign doc, and as it has been printed previously by Acrobat Pro prior to Yosemite. Thanks for fixing this disaster of a bug. Please contact me if you need further info, copies of the individual page pdf, etc.
    I am literally stuck. I can go through the laborious process of using InDesign to "print booklet" to a postscript file and use Distiller to make the booklet pdf, but under Yosemite, I am prevented from installing print drivers unless that printer is locally available on my network. Unfortunately, the printer is located at my client's place of business.
    I realize there is typically a leap-frog effect between operating system updates, hardware, and application updates, but combined with other Yosemite issues, this Acrobat Pro bug is killing my business.

    DrStrik9 (sounds a bit poisonous to me!),
    The issue, regrettably, is that Acrobat is performing as designed. And it has nothing to do with either MacOS 10.10 or anything new or different with Acrobat 11.0.10 (versus earlier versions going all the way back to the initial implementation of the booklet printing feature). And this isn't directly a printer driver issue, either! The same behaviour occurs both on MacOS and Windows.
    The problem, simply stated, is that the Booklet print option in Acrobat (and Reader) is attempting to avoid loss of content due to the paper's non-printable margins. The scaling factors in the Size print option are not utilized at all in the Booklet print option. The Booklet print option attempts to fit two logical pages of your PDF file into the printable area of each physical sheet of paper. Assuming that your printer's Letter page is defined as having a printable area of 8"x10.5" due to a 0.25" non-printable area surrounding the page, then the Booklet print option will force each of the 5.5"x8.5" pages of your PDF file into a  5.17'x8" area centered on each half of the 8.5"x11" printed sheet.
    There are three workarounds that I know of:
    (1)    Many high end printers have booklet printing capabilities in the printer or printer driver itself. Check the detailed driver options to see whether in fact your printer / printer driver does support a booklet printing option. If so, try that first. That would likely solve your problem.
    (2)    Assuming that this is a PostScript printer, edit the .PPD file for the printer you are using to to modify the specification of the Letter printable area. In the PPD file, you will see an entry similar to this:
        *ImageableArea Letter/Letter: "18 18 594 774"
    or
        *ImageableArea Letter/US Letter: "18 18 594 774"
    Edit the entry to change only the four numbers as follows:
        *ImageableArea Letter/Letter: "0 0 612 792"
    That indicates to the PostScript driver that there is no unprintable border on your pages. Then save the .PPD file. I would then suggest rebooting and then trying to print. Note that the side effect of this is that Fit and Shrink oversized pages options will not take into account the non-printable area of your printer.
    Note that a similar hack can be done with Ledger (i.e. 11"x17") page descriptions in the PPD to fix a similar issue affecting printing 8.5"x11" pages to 11"x17" sheets as booklets.
    (3)    There are some very reliable third party plugins for Acrobat that provide full advanced document imposition capabilities, creating what are known as printer flats as a new PDF file from your logical pages. There are n-up, booklet, step-and-repeat, etc. options galore in such packages. Examples include Quite Imposing and PDF Snake. I have personally used Quite Imposing for nearly 15 years for this purpose and can vouch that it works beautifully. I don't have personal experience with PDF Snake, although it is less expensive.
    Good luck and let us know if any of this helps you at all!

  • Printing difference from acrobat pro or acrobat reader

    Hi,
    I noticed when i maken pdf files from inDesign ansd print from my computer the fonts are printed fine and sharp (from acrobat pro) but when other people are printing the documents from the reader version the fonts aan kinda blurred and grainy..
    I first thought fonts were nog embedded right, but that's not the issue.. The pdf says it's embedded just fine, and eve with the font installed locally it doesn;t make a difference..
    For the rest the computers are installed the same and printer settings are equal. The only difference is i have installed the CS5 package on my machine and the rest doesn't.
    Is there a difference when printing from the acrobat reader?

  • Problem printing PDF with Acrobat Pro 9.4.4

    Hi!
    I can't correctly print a PDF with Acrobat Pro that was created in Indesign CS5.
    I want to print it on a letter format (8,5 X 11") and it offers me a format of 8,49 X 10,99". It results in having my document being printed as tile with it's original format 12 X 21,5" as if I didn't adjust the format to be reduced.
    I temporary used Preview to print my PDF, but now I can't as the encoding in which I received the PDF used to be "Creo Normalizer JTP" and now it is "Adobe PDF Library 9.9"
    If anyone can help!
    This is my first time here, thanks in advance for your help

    Here's what it looks like (I work in french, hope you can understand)
    I just updated my software, thanks for that!
    Now, my problem is still on... I still have the very same result when I print. I did selected the correct Page Scalling I needed. I did selected the paper size I wanted. I chose Shrink to Printable Area and I tried with Fit to Printable Area.
    Since I've had this problem the size appears as : 8,49 X 10,99 (Instead of 8,5 X 11). I tried with Legal (8,5 X 14) but it appears as 8,49 X 13,99. I went through the preferences, but I can't find anything that could be the problem.
    Any other idea?
    Thanks!!
    Also, Preview was very helpful, as it did print my PDF correctly! I understand it's not the best... but it did the job

  • Can't Duplex print from Acrobat Pro 9.3.2 to Epson Artisan 800

    I can not duplex Print from Acrobat Pro 9.3.2 to an Epson Artisan 800.
    I an running it from a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.6.3
    I called Epson support and they could not help me.
    However they suggested that I try using Adobe Reader.
    Well that works OK if I choose to print the document as an image, but I would prefer to just be able to work within Acrobat Pro.
    Does anyone outthere have any settings within Acrobat Pro that would enable duplex printing?
    Thanks

    All this is totally different Screen (I use a HP DJ 990cse) This sort  amplifies Larry's Answer:

  • Cannot print with authentication from acrobat pro on osx

    My company has a printer that requires authentication in the form of a 5 digit "account code", which is entered into the print driver installed on my laptop (OSX 10.9).  My printer service company has saved the account code in my print driver so that whenever I submit a print job it is sent to the printer with the account code and the job prints properly.  If a print job is submitted without an account code then the job is rejected and never prints.
    Adobe Acrobat Pro NEVER uses the default printer settings that I have set up on my computer.  Which means that most of the time when I print from adobe acrobat the print job is rejected.  If I click on the "printer..." button to access the print driver then my default settings show up and my account code is included with my print job but that NEVER happens automatically, which means that EVERY TIME I print something I have to remember to bring up my print driver and verify the settings.  This is very inconvenient and is unnecessary with any other piece of software I use.
    I have updated to the most recent print driver for my device.
    I have updated to the most recent version of my operating system.
    I have updated to the most recent version of adobe acrobat pro.
    I am able to print from every other application on my computer without any additional steps.
    I am able to open a pdf in preview and print without any additional steps but when I open the same pdf in adobe acrobat my print job is rejected. 
    Please provide a way to use default system printer settings without additional steps with printing from adobe acrobat pro.

    I have the same issue as you Dan. I have 2 Macs, one running Acrobat 9 which has no issue so it seems to be the most recent version causing this issue. It is annoying for the person printing it, especially when it's only in the one application

  • PDF file prints fine from Acrobat reader XI, but not Acrobat Standard XI

    I have a 2 page document that is set up as tabloid 11x17, meant to be printed duplexed and folded as a 4 pamphlet.  The document with the same printer settings prints fine from Adobe Reader XI but from Adobe Standard XI, Page 1 prints fine, but page 2 looks like it is  trying to print on the backside of an 81/2x11 instead of 11x17.  I have played with the print settings in Standard, and cannot come up with a combination that prints that document correctly, yet it prints fine from Acrobat Reader XI.  I did double check for updates on both products and installed them.  Anyone have any idea as to why this is happening?  If I print page 2 by itself it does print properly, just not when sent duplexed with page 1.

    Well, for those following this thread or needing a solution, I found a work-around though I'm still not sure why the initial problem exists.
    In Acrobat 9 Pro, once you have the main print dialogue box open, follow the steps below:
    1) Click ADVANCED
    2) Select PRINT AS IMAGE
    3) Set DPI to 300
    4) Click OK
    5) Make any other typical print setup adjustments as you normally would and finish printing as usual

    I cannot print wirelessly from Macbook Pro: this is the error message I receive /Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpII.app/Contents/MacOS /rastertoescpII failed. Can anyone help. I have been able to print on this printer for months, then yesturday out of the blue I get this error.

    "/Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpII.app/Contents/MacOS /rastertoescpII failed"
    I also saw this same error message above the Print Queue, ever since allowing the Epson Printer Software Update (August 2013) to install. After this update installed, I was able to print a basic Test Page from the Print Queue, but when printing from any application I only got "Looking for printer..." displayed above the Print Queue, which would stall and never print.
    2008 MacBook, 10.7.5. It used to print to my Epson WorkForce 845 wirelessly without problems, before this software update was installed.
    Changing the driver from "Epson WorkForce 845" to "Epson WorkForce 600 - Gutenprint v5.2.3" was a workaround that did allow me to print, but I wasn't satisfied with that.
    Found this better solution in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5233149?start=0&tstart=0
    (with thanks to Yuengdog1983):
    This issue may be a result of the Computer Name being left empty:
    Open System Preferences and choose Sharing.
    Enter a name for your computer.
    Even without restarting the MacBook, I was able to now change back to using the Epson WorkForce 845 driver v9.0 successfully. I never would have guessed that a Computer Name is required in order to print!

    But it's on the PC right ? So it's a shared network printer with a Spooler (this is how it should be configured using Prnter Setup Utility ...)
