Problems with printing in Illustrator CS5 - Last Chance

So here's my problem:
I own a small scale graphic design studio and from time to time I print letterheads, business cards and other fun stuff from my printer.
Few weeks back the text starts to look "jagged/pixelated" around the edges and the same for vector artwork. (For example see www.tohei.dk, the logo there somewhat represents what comes out of my printer, though not quite as bad). It is mostly with diagonal lines like in the letter M or K.
I've spent countless hours (and paper and ink) trying to solve the problem. I've even called Adobe Technical Support in Denmark, but no help there.
The strange thing is that in Photoshop, Microsoft Word and other programs the print is as perfect as ever, so that eliminates the printer as the problem. It is ONLY in Illustrator the problem occurs. I've run tests on my old windows computer with CS4 and there is no problem there either.
The printer is a Canon IP4700 and is 4 months old. I run MAC OS X 10.6.3 and Design Premium CS5.
I think that about covers it. This is my last chance as I have no idea how to fix it!!
Really hope that someone can help!

Save as PDF and print from Acrobat.
The Canon printer is not a Postscript printer, therefor it prints the low resolution preview of any Illustrator file. You need a RIP (Raster Image Processor). Acrobat is a software RIP which will translate the postscript data to a raster format yielding better print results. The reason Photoshop, Word, etc print fine is they are sending raster data to the printer, not postscript data.

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 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-*

[root@arch32 dieter]#
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 through SAP

We are using Front end printing and already installed SAP GUI new version i.e. 7.10.
Only one user is able to print the document correctly from SAP, and other are getting incorrect print and getting error message "System cannot print the last 80 columns of the report" on one system.

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...

Hi @Robin_Perth,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I am sorry to hear about you getting the problem with printer or ink system error, with your HP Officejet 8600, but I am happy to look into this for you!

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.
More info
MacBook Pro (13 inch, early 2011)

Router is a Huawei HG556a that I got from Vodafone NZ

is that the lists are truncated and the list formats has totally been messed up..how can i restore them back

I'm having problems with CS2 (mainly illustrator and photoshop

I'm having problems with CS2 (mainly illustrator and photoshop ) randomly shutting down while trying to save a file. Reformatted my laptop for fear of a virus and reloaded... I have gotten nowhere.
Please Help!

CS3 still had issues with the preferences becoming corrupt, so a possible workaround would be to reset the preferences.
The file is called AIPrefs and is located under 'Documents and Settings/User/Application Data/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS3 Settings'. It is a hidden file. Delete it with Illustrator closed and when you launch the program again the file will be rebuilt.
May be it is also sounds like you need more memory for your computer. If you can navigate to your computer's memory controls, and allow your operating system to use a portion of your hard disk drive (HDD) as RAM (maybe 2Gb or so) it may solve your issue.
How is about: http://www.filerepairforum.com/forum/adobe/adobe-aa/illustrator/383-%E2%80%8Bcorrupted-fon ts-in-illustrator-file-urgent-help-need – resource has non-commercial specialty
Third party software Illustrator Repair Kit also must be good solution
It has free demo version at:- http://www.illustrator.repair/
Hope this will be helpful.

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.
