Same PDF, same printer, different results from different PCs??

Weird situation I've encountered:
I have a PDF that yields fuzzy, slightly bolder black text when printed from a couple different PCs, but prints just fine (no fuzzy black text) from other PCs-- even when the PDF is printed to the same printer.
Any ideas why a given PC can't print the PDF text cleanly? Every other non-black text, logos,and lines print just fine -- but black text can end up looking like a little bit of mascara was applied to it.
Thanks in advance.

Are the same printer drivers used on each workstation? Some printers can use
both PCL and PostScript drivers. Some drivers may also be set to download
fonts to the printer while the others may allow font substitution by the pri
nter..

  • Different results from Different Printers

    I have noticed that the horizontal location of my fillRect() will vary from printer to printer, but the location of my drawString() works
    consistently, why is this? Thank you EXTREMELY much if you can help me out.
    AC

    AC,
    The problem is because device-space varies from printer to printer, monitor to monitor, etc. Graphics2D has classes that you can use to make your application independant of devices, so that the output is consistant no-matter what you look at it on.
    Try looking into documentation/APIs for:
    java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment
    java.awt.print.Printable
    java.awt.print.PageFormat
    java.awt.print.PrinterJob
    You should be able to make it look the same on any printer, if you factor in the graphics environment into your code.
    Although, I'm not sure why fillRect and drawString both do not render on different spots on different printers.

  • Different results from different machines

    I have one program to output jpg photo
    to control quality:
    ImageWriteParam param = writer.getDefaultWriteParam();
    param.setCompressionMode(ImageWriteParam.MODE_EXPLICIT);
    param.setCompressionQuality(0.8f);
    param.setCompressionType("JPEG");
    writer.write(null, new IIOImage(bimage, null, null), param);
    I got satisfied photo on my computer
    when I run the same program on another machine I got bad quality jpg photo
    both machines is windows system
    that second machine max color=256, is that cause poor quality of jpg images?

    that second machine max color=256Are you sure the bad quality doesn't come from just the display? JPEG images typically have thousands of colours so they are bound to look crappy on a 256 colour display.

  • I have a form that has a field in it which yields different results from different PCs

    Hi,
    We have a form, (I can send it to anyone interested), our internal staff fill it out and submit it to the appropriate department. The issue appears when the appropriate department needs to make a change at their end... once the form is received by them, there is a particular field which, if checked, should equal the value of $600.00. If unchecked it should remove the $600.00 charge. However, should this check box be checked once received (if that amendment needs to be made) the value equals - $600.00 then if unchecked again, it will - $600.00 again and continue to remove $600 each time the box is checked and unchecked.
    If the form is reset this error continues.
    Can anyone offer any advice on this? I can email the file in question. PS the form works fine on my computer and on other staff members computers. The problematic machine is running adobe acrobat pro 7.0, I am running 9.0 but have tested it on other machines running 7.0.
    Thanks in advance, Kylie

    You can send it to [email protected] and I will have a look when I get a chance. Please include detailed instructions on how to reproduce the issue.

  • Why do I get two different results from the same coefficients?

    I am getting two different results from the Polynomial Evaluation function.
    For the first one, I am getting the coefficients from a Polynomial Fit function.  I feed the coefficients from the Fit function into the Poly Eval function and get the correct result of 12.8582 when I evaluate 49940.
    For the second one, I create constant array of the SAME values that were returned from the Polynomial Fit function (i typed them in).  However, I am getting an incorrect result of -120.7913 when I feed the constant array into the Poly Eval function when I evauate 49940.
    How can this happen when I am using the same array values?
    Attached is an image of what I am explaining.

    Hi Altran,
    are you sure about using the "same" coefficients?
    Did you compare them? Did you (atleast) set the display properties to 17 significant digits?
    Please attach a VI instead of a picture...

  • Different results from all_objects

    Can someone please explain me,
    How it is possible to get different results from "all_objects", once I query it from "SQL Worksheet" and next time when I execute the procedure with the same query ?
    The procedure is created by schema user (owner) and it's executed by it.
    Same as the query.
    I am querying for objects which belongs to other owners.
    Is there a way how to trace which privileges are used for querying the "all_objects" ?
    Any hint will be very welcomed ?

    You are correct, sorry.

  • To_char(adate,'dd.mm.yyyy')   returns different results  from  two oracle clients !!! Is it  possible?

    Dear all;
    We have only one Database server with some IIS's   as web servers on front . Each web server has own oracle client software in order connect to central database..
    The same following query used in C#  code  returns different results on each IIS server.(3 row, or  not data found )
    why?
    select     *    from    aTable    where        to_char( adate ,  'dd.mm.yyyy' )  =   :search_date

    If adate is of DATE datatype, it will most likely has the time component. Therefore your SQL below is unlikely to return any data.

    Perhaps.....
    select * from aTable where TRUNC(adate) = to_date(:search_date, 'dd.mm.yyyy')
    Hi,
    not having any sample data from you I could not understand that you wanted to select the range 00:00:00 - 23:59:59 on search_date.
    Your method might not be efficient if you have an index on adate.
    Maybe something like this will be more efficient
    select * from aTable
    where adate >= to_date(:search_date, 'dd.mm.yyyy')
      and adate <  to_date(:search_date, 'dd.mm.yyyy') + 1;
    If you search_date is 30-Aug-2013 it will get records where adate >= 30-Aug-2013 00:00:00 and adate < 31-Aug-2013 00:00:00, so any time of date 30-Aug-2013.
    Try like this and let us know if you still have 2 different results.

  • Strange query plans, and so different results from a view.

    In my database (11g), I have a currency exchange rate table, which contains all currencies and their exchange rate to USD. I need to have a number of different exchange rates - To GBP, EUR, etc...
    To accomplish this I have created a view, which has one union statement of all the USD exchange rates, with the same data joined back on itself to give the exchange rates based on their exchange rate to USD - ie: SELECT b1.Date, b1.Currency AS FromCurrency, b2.Currency as ToCurrency, b1.Rate/b2.Rate as Exchange Rate FROM Rates b1, Rates b2 on b1.Date = b2.Date
    This view works fine when I query it, and returns the data as I expect.
    I have a second view that is joined to this view to give a return of the amount in each currency for reporting. This view seems to work correctly when I narrow down the search requirements and have a small set of data.
    The issue I am having is when I query the second view and get it to return all the data. Instead of receiving 4 rows per transaction (I am only interested in 4 exchange rates for display) I typically receive up to 2 rows. The first record is for the conversion to USD, the second record is for the conversion to the supplied currency. The issue is that this exchange rate actually includes the aggregate for all 3 other requested currencies (not the USD).
    So instead of getting something like:
    Amt RC BC (Amt = Amount, RC = Reporting Currency. BC = Base Currency)
    60 GBP GBP
    80 EUR GBP
    100 USD GBP
    1000 ZAR GBP
    60 GBP USD
    80 EUR USD
    100 USD USD
    1000 ZAR USD
    I get the following set of results:
    1140 GBP GBP
    100 USD GBP
    100 USD USD
    Has anyone come accross something similar or have any ideas on how I can resolve this?
    Thanks
    PS: I can get both sets of results from the same view depending on the filter criteria. Also if I convert the exchange rates into a table, it then returns the correct results as expected.

    The idea is to seek help in solving the problem. I was hoping that perhaps someone had experienced the same thing - different results for "effectively" the same query:Well, that's the issue... without additional info, it's not clear what issue you were seeing.
    SELECT * FROM view WHERE Date = '01 January, 2012'
    verse
    SELECT * FROM view WHERE Date > '31 December, 2011' ORDER BY DateNow it's a bit clearer. That second query is not "effectively" the same as the first query. If the date column is in DATE format, then you ought to have a to_date() around the date string to explicitly convert it into a date so you can do date-to-date comparisons correctly. Also, DATE datatype stores times as well as dates, so asking for data matching midnight of a specific date is different than asking for data greater than midnight of the previous day.
    If the date string is a string, then ... well, the string "31 December 2011" is greater than the string "31 August 2013", despite it being an earlier date. This is why making sure you're using the right datatype for the job is important - a date is different to a string that just happens to contain a date.
    DateID
    I have no objection to using a Date but always struggle to understand what someone means when they tell me "06/07/2012" - granted if the day is above 12 or the same day and month I don't have a problem - but it still leaves 121 days a year that are confusing. sure, but just because you find outputting the display (or rather, someone else's output) confusing doesn't mean you still shouldn't use the correct datatype. Store things as a date, and you can then output it in whatever format you like. Try doing that with a string or a number.
    Don't say it doesn't happen as I got a birthday card from a company in May this year when I have specifically entered my date of birth as being the 5 of a month (name drop down box on their website)!Just because someone else doesn't understand how to work with dates correctly doesn't mean you can't! It's not exactly rocket science, after all!*{;-)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

  • Different results from MAX and Labview

    Hi all,
    We did an impact testing a couple of days ago, and I got very big acceleration (the peak is about 300g, which is much larger than the estimated value).
    And then I tried a small imact test in the lab using a steel plate which is less than 1 lb to impact a steel ruler, I still got big peak number (more than 200g, which is impossible). And then I tried the small impact test again by using MAX, the peak number is about 12g, and the curve seems like pretty reasonable. I was wondering why I got different results by using MAX and Labview?
    Also, sometimes when I connect the SCXI-1001 to the computer, it says the USB is malfuntion and cannot be recgonized by the computer, and turns out the driver file does not exists. But most of the time, it works very well and the driver file does exists. Why this happened?
    Thanks.

    You can do that.  A task can only have the same types of inputs, meaning Analog Input, Analog Output, Digital Input, Digital Output, etc.  Different sensors are just read with Analog Inputs.  So they all can be in the same task.  In MAX, just set up a task a configure each channel as it should be.  Then use that single task in your LabVIEW code.

    This forum is more focused on consumer level products (and issues).  You may have better results asking in the  Laserjet Small/Medium Business Support Forum here.
    If you are printing directly from a Java app you will probably need to embed tray selection codes as described in this post.

  • Select statement returns different results from 9i and 10g

    Hi all,
    Would appreciate if someone could help to solve this puzzle here:
    I have the exact the statements running on Oracle 9i and 10g, why do they return different results?
    Select unique(GroupDesc) , GroupSeq from Module where ModuleId in (Select ModuleId from User_Access where UserId='admin') and Status='A'
    In Oracle 9i:
    Both columns returned as follows...
    GroupDesc | GroupSeq
    In Oracle 10g:
    Only one column returned, the column with unique keyword was missing...
    GroupSeq
    Could anyone enlighten me?

    yes, the table structure... actually the CREATE TABLE statement...
    with some sample data (INSERT INTO)
    and the actual queries (both of them - copy-paste them from each separate environment)
    you can use tags around the statements this will format it to a fixed font - making it easier to read
