Shadow not printed as shown

The same mess again inPages 08 ... When one attaches shadows to boxes or letter they show up nicely, You adjust them until they look well and the You print them: ugly black lines or blocks instead of the adjusted shadows. No idea of WYSIWYG! The situation is the same in Pages 08 like in the former product.
The only way to circumvent this error is: print as PDF - but You have to make many many tries to get the shadow You want. What You see on the screen (Apple Display) is far away from that what comes out on a PDF.
Thanks for good ideas or thanks to anyone who can make Apple to get this long lasting error corrected.

Mac OS X 10.4 has my driver built in. If I export the Pages document to Word, then it will print as shown. It does not print accurately as a PDF.

Shadow not printing

I'm printing some place cards (using a business card template) using Snell Roundhand with a shadow, and with a border image on the card. On the screen, the shadow looks great, but it doesn't print. I've tried every print option, and have even reinstalled the Canon driver from the Leopard Install DVD.
I've tried exporting to PFD, and the shadows don't display when viewed with either Preview, Adobe Reader, Safari, ColorSync Utility, or Fireworks 8 (so in this case I suspect the export code).
I've been able to print the shadow by copying the text and placing it in a new document. Removing the border image from the business card doesn't let the shadows print. Since I can print shadows sometimes (not all times) with a new document with a single line of text, how can this be a printer driver issue?
Does anyone have any ideas?
OS: Leopard 10.5.1
Pages: 3.0.1
Printer: Canon i850
Thanks!

Same Problem here. But shadows are printed as a black background border. Text with shadow for example is always printed on a black background. Removing the shadow causes the print output to be such as I want, on white (for example) background.
Strange thing...

Reader 9.1.2 not printing as shown on monitor

The attached postscript file creates two paths of two line segments each. Ghostscript displays the two paths as expected. The PS file is converted to PDF using Ghostscript. Adobe Reader 9.1.2 displays the PDF file as expected.
I print the file (using Reader 9.1.2) to two different printers (a Ricoh and an HP) at my disposal with the current PCL drivers. Both printers show two extra line segments in the bottom path as shown in the attached PNG file.
A kind soul at the usenet group comp.text.pdf has told me he also gets the extra line segments with Acrobat 9, but not with Acrobat 7. See the usenet thread "Adobe Reader or printer driver bug?" for that full discussion.
Anyone else here get the extra printed line segments? Is this an Adobe Reader bug? If so, are there any patches available (on WinXP) to fix it?
Thanks,
James

...when converted to PDF, has a comparable effect. It clips at the (right) edge of the MediaBox (A4) minus printer margin (a few mm) and draws the 2 unwanted lines.
A similar PDF, directly created with iText, has the same effect.
It also happens with the HP DesignJet 1050C driver (large size plotter), which gives these results:
- the wanted and unwanted lines are represented as vectors
- the critical length of a line is ~ 2 meters (~ 5900 points)
- the selected page size (A4 .. A0) has no effect; only the "Oversize" versions of these sizes have a slightly smaller (!) critical length
As the clipping occurs at/near the edge of the MediaBox and the extra lines come with quite different drivers, I believe it's a Reader bug that causes
the extra lines.

Pie chart drop shadows not printing properly.. cuts off right hand side of pie chart...???

Every time I go to print a pie chart that has a drop shadow applied to it, it cuts off the right hand side of the chart along with the shadow itself. It looks HORRIBLE!!! I went through and created a bunch of reports using that method, and now ALL of them have this problem. It makes ZERO sense to me, and it appears that nobody else is experiencing this. Does anybody have any ideas?

It may be a good idea to read :

Drop shadow not printing correctly

I have an image on top of a solid color and I want to add a very light dropshadow to the image. Everything looks fine on screen, but when I print, either as an InDesign or PDF file, there is a lighter version of the background color that surrounds the image and drop shadow. I imagine there is a setting I need to adjust inorder to print this properly but have not been able to figure it out. Any ideas? I am using CS3.

Thanks Bob that worked great!
Now in terms of printing to a PDF in order to upload the file to an online printer, are there any other precautions I need to take to ensure a proper print on their end?

Freight, octroi not to be shown in Print preview

Dear friends,
I want freight and octroi not to be shown in print preview although i am maintaining those condition types in condition tab. Their value should not add up to the net value of material in print preview.
Pl suggest how it's possible?

Dear Raju sir,
I will maintain freight & octroi condition types in conditions tab but I don't want them to come in print preview and need not to add into total price in print preview, i.e. the total price to be shown in print preview should be exclusive of freight and octroi
how it's possible?

When printing slides with notes, only notepart shown on screen is included

Hi
I make presentations with really long presenters notes. During presentation I can scroll the presenters notes on screen with U and D, but my problem is when printing the slides with notes, only the part of the notes that is shown on screen is printing, so I sometimes half of the note section on a slide.
Is there a work around, or is it just the way life is?
Thanks in advance.

I too am having the same issue. I am trying to print out a monthly calendar like I see on the screen. At the most on any given day I have 4 lines of text. It shows on the screen but when I print it puts 3 little dots above that particular day to let me know there is more to it and refuses to print more than 3 items. I have tried with different page set ups and all I am doing is wasting ink. What's worse, is that there is PLENTY of room left on the paper. There is so much room between the month label and where the calendar starts there certainly has to be a way to adjust this. (I would hope!) Anyone please help! Thanks in advance.

Does not print what is shown in bounding box

PE9:
I have a 5.33 x 4 sized photo (.psd). What is shown in the bounding box does not print - it is cut off.
In #2 (printer settings) I have tried both borderless 4 x 6 and just 4 x 6, landscape.
In #3 (paper size), I have selected 4 x 6.
In #5 (select print size), I have tried both actual size & 4 x 6, with the crop to fit box unchecked.
It makes no difference, the photo printed cuts off the top & bottom of the photo.
It does not print what is shown in the bounding box.
I added text but did not flatten yet.

Please relaunch PSE and update or reinstall printer drivers. Also reset the PSE preferences by:
   1. Close Elements.
   2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Edit.
   3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
4. try printing now.
Do enable print preview from printer preferences to check what is the preview printer is showing which is passed to printer for output. try priting from Organizer.
For paper/color saving i would recommmend try priting in XPS or Adobe PDF and check the output and then print on actual paper
Let me know your comments,
thanks,
Garry

HPOfficejet Pro 8600 does not print the page as shown in WORD. I am using win 7, 32-bit OS. How do I fix this?

Sounds like the table is to large to fit on a single page. Have you tried using the "Shrink to Page" option in the Print Preview? Depending on your version of Word, my attached picture may not be 100% similar but it should be enough to give you an idea. Here is the option inside the print preview menu:

HP C7250 AIO will not print wirelessly or connected

I have tried to download HP's latest drivers as well as their older drivers to get my printer working with my ibook. I have had no luck, all print jobs go straight into the completed tab and do not print anything. I downloaded an HP printer utility (HP Inkjet Installer) and all ink levels and printer information shows up there just fine. If I do a test print from that utility, the printer works fine. I have installed the printer as the exact same ID, etc... as shown on that utility and I still receive no print. Open to any suggestions someone might have. Have spent a lot of time on this already and I'm trying to get this working for my kids to work on school projects.

Hi threeboystoys, and a warm welcome to the forums!
I don't see that they have Drivers for 10.4, or even 10.5, just 10.6...

My HP Officejet 6500 E709a All-in-One will not print more than one copy at a time.

My HP Officejet 6500 E709a All-in-One will not print more than one copy at a time. This is especially disconcerting at Christmas time when you're trying to get Christmas letters in the mail! Any help?

The cyan portion of the printhead may be clogged. I would suggest running the diagnostics shown here. If three levels of cleaning of the printheads does not resolve the issue you may need a new printhead.

HP C6150 All-In-One Will Not Print Black Text But Does Partial Test Print

Hi. Thanks in advance for any help anyone can proffer.
I've read through the forum and I think there are some similar issues, but none exactly the same as ours.
This HP C6150 does print pictures, but suddenly stopped printing black text.
HOWEVER, the test prints will print in black with the Windows Logo, but will not print any associated text.
Odd. It just suddenly stopped printing.
Variables:
C6150 All in One - No other problems for two years.
Using refilled ink cartridges from outside source. (not my decision)
Ink is full. No other changes made in last three days.
Troubleshooting Steps:
Uninstalled and then re-installed software in entirety.
Put in 'new' (refilled) cartridge for black and magenta.
Tried (not sure if successful) soft reset.
Tried cleaning the print cartridge with 'Q-Tip' and distilled water.
Have not yet spent money on new OEM print cartridges. That is next step unless other suggestions merit.
Possibilities:
It may be the refilled cartridges, but they've worked so well in the past.
The cartridge prior to the recent replacement was working fine and was not yet out of ink.
The print head might be damaged. But this should/would affect all black printing and this is not the case.
Were the driver corrupt, the reinstall should have fixed it ... you'd think.
So, we're looking for some suggestions prior to going out and getting a new printer.
Thanks again, in advance, for constructive non-judgmental suggestions.
MackNC

The likely cause is the black ink is not printing at all. When printing graphics (like the Windows Test Page) black is made from mixing the color ink. I would suggest printing an internal diagnostic test page as shown in this page. Does the black block print? If not then clean the printheads as described here.

My hp deskjet 842c will not print in color only in black

Until the other day, my printer was working quite well -- printing in colour or black. It seems that I ran out of ink in my colour cartridge and upon replacement, the printer would no longer print in colour. I replaced the colour cartridge again thinking that maybe the replacement cartridge was defective but the problem still persists -- the printer simply will not print any colour. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium version 64 bit.

You can check the ink levels here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02693389&tmp_task=useCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lang...
The driver for this printer, when used within Windows 7, is built-in or 'in-OS' so you do not have access to the HP solution center or HP Toolbox.
Printing the self-test report will show how the ink is dispensed and what levels of ink are available. If on this report there is nothing shown, the issue is likely related directly to the cartridges rather than a software issue.
If this is the case, visit this article and browser towards the bottom:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=bud02948&tmp_task=useCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=...
There are steps on how to clean the cartridges as well as the underside of the carriage in case there is and debris or interferrance causing this issue.
