Smartforms / Font and Lanscape printing issue

Hello,
        I have developed a smartforms which is in landscape format. When I look at the output which is a pdf the smartform appears to ignore all of the smartstyles that are associated with it so all of the details are printed exactly the same size. Therefore, details as such line items are not appearing in the smaller size fonts I have specified.
      What is more confusing is that I have another similar smartform which is in portrait format and the output which is  a pdf appears to work correctly. All the details on the output are in the correct sizes. Both of these smartforms use the same smartstyle and are being output from the same laser printer.
     Is there some known issue where the fonts are ignored when being output in landscape by a laser printer?       
Thanking you in advance!

I'm assuming you are using the SAME fonts/sizes (not different ones as the other poster mentioned) and that's the reason for the confusion.  This is usually due to device type configuration and there are a couple of things you can check (or get the Basis Admin to help you out):
- Set your default printer in Windows appropriately and then print the spool or spool preview to LOCL.  Does this work?  If so, you've definitely got an SAP device type config issue.
- Go to SPAD and look at the device type assigned to your output device.  Then look at the page format assigned to your device type.  Is your landscape page format assigned (it should be, otherwise you would get an error when printing)?  If so, compare the two page formats assigned to the device type - are they the same?  Do you have any initialization sequences assigned to one and not the other?  Or are the sequences different?
- If all else fails, double-check that the devices and user IDs used for the PDF conversion are the same

  • Help me solve color and dark print issue with a new monitor recommendation!

    I know, I hate "surveys" too. I'm thinking of attacking my color and dark printing issues w\LR and CS4, by investing in a new monitor. I currently have an 20' early edition Apple Cinema Display. The monitor is the last hardware (software) item in my current upgrade cycle. From those folks who are NOT having color or print problems, what displays are you using (or would recommend)? Ah, and price is an issue. Apologies in advance to those who think this is not appropriate use of the Forum.

    Monitor calibration is the first port of call. Sometimes changing one item in a system is enough to show up a colour management issue. You suggest that the monitor is the last item in your upgrade cycle, what all have you changed? Computer, printer? There may also be a setting you have failed to set when you installed the new software, eg. have you remembered to set relative colorimetric with the black point compensation box ticked, disable colour management in your printer driver and put an appropriate colour profile for your monitor onto the new computer? You also need the correct profile for your printer/paper combination set up in Photoshop.
    If you haven't calibrated your monitor, that on its own will give you poor prints, but all the other bits are needed also.

  • 10.5.5 and quickbooks (and other printing issues!)

    ever since installing 10.5.5 i've been having printing issues... like many people are reporting, my InDesign prints at about 400%... i can get around that by exporting PDFs and then printing those.
    but, one serious bug i'm having is that my Quickbooks invoices are defaulting to landscape mode in the printer and it can't be changed... even if i export a PDF it's in landscape mode.
    help help..!

    >Looks like the only change that I can tell is that the media selection now makes the forced to Colorsync setting choose the profile (in the driver) that is set for that media in CU.
    I think I was wrong in that statement it looks like 10.5.5 works the same way.

  • Ipod Nano and Lexmark printer issue

    Hiya,
    I have a customer who has one of our computer systems with a strange problem with an iPod and Lexmark printer.
    We have inspected the computer hardware itself and find that not to be an issue but when discussing the customers problem over the phone and trying various things, it appears when they have a Lexmark printer installed - IIRC it was a Z517, Windows XP is unable to find the drivers for the iPod nano - even with the driver disc inserted into the drive.
    If he disconnects the Lexmark printer from the computer, and then plugs his iPod back in, Windows is then able to find the drivers fine.
    If he removes the iPod and reconnects the printer, and then reconnects the iPod the problem comes back until the printer is removed.
    I was just wondering if anybody had come across this before and if there was a solution for this? I have been unable to find any previous documentation on this issue.
    Thanks in advance
    Steve

    Thanks for your reply.
    A bit of an update after speaking to the customer yesterday...
    He had his iPod nano replaced under g'tee as he thought there might have been an issue with the iPod itself (this was yesterday). So he got a whole new product package (unit, cables, software...) but he still gets the problem.
    Now when we had the computer back for testing, we also had his printer here. I had plugged in my Nokia N80 mobile, my iPod mini (without iTunes, just as disc drive mode), a USB memory stick, the Lexmark printer (Z517) and a SD memory card in the memory card reader - the problem did not arise what so ever - all functions were working correctly... transferring data between memory devices, printing on the printer - these were plugged in different ways around so that all devices were eventually plugged into the same USB controller at least once together. No whether there is a different power requirement for the iPod mini compared to the iPod nano I am not sure – although I would have thought the Nano would require less?!
    When he plugs in the iPod, it comes up with the usual “found new hardware” message and asks him to install the drivers – in which Windows quickly replies it is unable to find any – this is with the Lexmark printer connected. Now if he disconnects the printer and reconnects the iPod by itself, again, windows has found new hardware and finds the right drivers for it almost straight away so I don’t think there is a power issue as this happens no matter what port its plugged into
    I don’t think it has anything to do with faulty hardware as the printer has been replaced by Lexmark, the iPod has been replaced by the store where he bought it and we have tested his computer tower (at the place of manufacturer) with loads of other devices together and in different port combinations and we have been unable to replicate the fault…
    Only other thing I can think of is there is just a general incompatibility between these 2 products and they just do not like each other, but on searching there does not seem enough “help my iPod does not work due to such and such a device” messages to support this theory.
    Another theory is that it could be the USB chipset on the motherboard of the computer and when these 2 devices are connected at the same time, they go completely mental and start throwing a tantrum – although the motherboard is using the good old Via USB Rev 5+ chips (as reported by Windows)…
    I am at a complete loss!

  • Windows 7 and Bonjour--Printer issue--Need Help ASAP, Please!

    Okay, add my name to the growing list of people with Windows 7 issues. (Actually, add my wife's name. I have a Mac, and I'm glad I do.)
    Anyway--she has a new HP laptop with Windows 7 preloaded. We use Airport Express as a wireless router for our 5 year old HP PSC 1350 all in one printer, requiring the use of Bonjour 1.0.6 on her new laptop to print wirelessly. Except it is only printing about 2/3's of a page and quitting. This also fouls up the printing que, meaning nothing else will print on her unit. (I have not tried printing from the Mac while her HP is AFU.)
    How do I rectify this, other than taking her HP back and getting the Mac she'd be happier with?
    Any and all help would be greatly appreciated, as she's in school and needs to print a lot of papers.
    Doc

    There has been no satisfactory answer to this. So, no, my question isn't really answered.
    Instead, we bought a new wireless printer, and I removed Bonjour and AirPort from her Windoze 7 unit.
    I'm not so thrilled, but she's happy. And if she's happy, it's okay.
    I guess.

  • Canon ICC profiles and color printing issues

    I use two Canon printers -- an all-purpose MP460 and a iP4000 for photos.
    I use Canon's Photo Paper Plus Glossy II paper and Canon inks.
    I print with color management off in the "Print Settings" and by selecting the ICC profile from the drop down in the Aperture print window.
    Since updating to Snow Leopard, the MP460 prints images that are consistently dark using the "SP" ICC profiles.
    The iP4000 has an issue in that it prints images from Aperture with magenta cast in areas of yellow to orange tones.
    I have had prints made through online services that have come back accurate, so I am wondering . . . is this a Canon profile or driver issue? I haven't tried printing from Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as of yet.
    Any suggestions?
    It is very, very frustrating since prints from these printers were fine before Snow Leopard.

    I have a Canon IP5200 and had numerous problems with Aperture printing from OS X10.6.2.
    In November Canon came out with new print drivers. With SNL 10.6.2 update and new canon drivers my prints come out pretty well using canon's ICC profiles. I use the PR3 canon ICC with Costco (Kirkland) paper and am pleased with the results. Hope that helps

  • O.T. iMac and Epson Printer Issues

    I have just set up my new 20" iMac running OS 10.5.6 and have been testing my various peripherals.
    Printing old saved PSE3.0 images on my Epson 1290 (1280) they are coming out noticeably darker than when printed under OS 10.3.9. I deliberately did nothing with the saved files in PSE,just clicked print to avoid introducing any screen calibration issues,and the correct .icc profile had been added to Library/Color Sync/ Profiles for the paper I was using (and have always used).
    Is this a known problem with an iMac running Leopard ?

    Perhaps I should have done this before starting my thread,but who wants to reinvent the wheel !
    Having spent many hours this morning,and even more sheets of paper to resolve this problem,I have come to the following conclusions on printing an image from PSE3 in Leopard :
    USING THE EPSON PRINTER DRIVER -
    Leave the printer manage colour - color controls - photo realistic - gamma 1.8
    USING GUTENPRINT DRIVER (http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php)
    Make no changes to Color Sync use Automatic
    Do not change the .icc profile (although I did leave it set in PSE3).
    Adjust print quality to max possible.
    Both these options give acceptable prints, Epson perhaps a shade darker.
    I preferred the colour representation in Gutenprint,but that is obviously a personal thing. Whether they'd satisfy someone making a living from photography is another matter.
    In the future I will probably tweak the lightness in PSE to compensate for the slight darkening in the print process,but probably leave the colours alone.
    Two other points -
    The Gutenprint driver seems to print more quickly.
    Adobe and Apple don't seem to care.

  • Mac applications have blurry/fuzzy fonts and other display issues

    About two days ago my MBP display started acting funny. To start, I noticed my itunes font started going blurry. The words in Word are fuzzy as well. Other apps like firefox and safari I can read just fine. Next, I noticed this (http://i.imgur.com/Hfhq0.png) happening. When I move a window in any application the window would automatically start getting larger. Next, this (http://i.imgur.com/6ySCT.png) became an issue. Notice the white at the bottom of the box. Finally this (http://i.imgur.com/wYdUe.png) reared it ugly head in firefox. I have no idea what's going on. Other forums and google have been no help at all and you guys are my final hope. If you need any more information please let me know. Thanks in advance for saving my baby.

    OK I don't use a two-button mouse but control-click brings up that window for me and it displays fine just pulling the background image as the border with no white space ...
    I'd guess it's something related to the background image you're using, have you tested the effect when you go back to a plain colour or an Apple supplied background ? What format is the image you've set as background png, jpg or something unusual ?

  • AI brushes and possible printing issues?

    Hello fellow creatives!
    I have a project that I am considering doing 100% in illustrator CS6 for Mac.  ( Three character illustrations ).
    The final files will be CMYK vector files.
    I will be drawing the illustrations in pencil.  Scanning the pencils in, and using my wacom cintiq to ink and color the illustrations in Adobe Illustrator using the illustrator inking and bristle brushes.
    The characters will be printed to be approximently 5 feet tall and 2 or 3 feet wide.
    Question:
    What do I need to keep in mind to make sure that the sign printer doesn't run into printing problems with the artwork?
    For instance:  Should I expand the apprearance of all of my brush strokes and gradients?  What else?
    Thank you in advance for your input?
    Best Regards,
    Bill

    How you export it is entirely up to you, but personally, I would do it as a PDF/X-1a:2001, Acrobat 4 (1.3), FOGRA39 file if you're in Europe. If you are not in Europe, then you may find that you need something other than FOGRA39. I do it like this because I can lock down the artwork and be confident that it's not really going to go wrong... but I understand print!
    However, doing it as an industry standard format doesn't allow you to be lazy about checking for errors. I have seen people go to print without checking white text on a coloured background and the text disappears on press. In some instances (which I won't cover here), white objects can be set to overprint on a coloured background which basically means that the white disappears when you go to print. It may look OK in an unflattened PDF, but as soon as it goes to print through a RIP, it disappears... this is why I say to look at the PDF in acrobat by checking each page you create with the Output Preview. This panel allows you to switch the individual C, M, Y and K plates on and off to show you the mixes, overprints and knockouts of each object. You will also see spot colours if you have the need to use them.
    If you flatten a PDF, it effectively does part of the RIPs job by creating the overpints and knockouts. A flattened PDF will be the first thing to show you that something is amiss.
    Another thing to do is use the Attributes Panel of Illustrator, click an object and see if it's set to overprint. Do a test: Place a white object on a coloured background and set it to overprint, then export a PDF... there should be a difference when viewed in Acrobat.
    In Illustrator, you could go to the menu View --> Output Preview and this will give you a view of how the file will print. It will show you how a file flattens and how solid blacks handle colours underneath them, but again, you will see this from a PDF/X-1a:2001 file.
    I will employ a number of methods, but whatever way I go about it, I always end up using the Output Preveiw in Acrobat. On that panel is a checkbox called 'Simulate Overprint'... click it on and off, and if you see things appear and disappear, then there's a good chance it'll print wrong. Also click each colour on and off and make sure colour is where it's meant to be AND where it's not meant to be.
    It sounds like a long process, but it's really not, it just adds a few extra minutes.
    Having said everything that I have, somebody pointed this out further up the thread... if you're unsure, have a word with the printer as to how they would like it supplied; you never know, they may have their own joboption they can give to you.

  • IMac and Fusion Printing Issues

    I have fusion running Windows XP on my iMac with an HP 4600 color laserjet printer connected to the network. I can print easily from the iMac, from a server that is Windows based and from my macbook pro and macbook air. But I can't print within XP in Fusion. It prints one page if I ask for multiple copies and stops, says it will store the job on the printer and then tells me the printer can't store the job. I've had my IT person check it out and he can't figure it out. Anyone offer any ideas? Right now I'm transfering any files from fusion to the windows server to print them and it's time consuming and frustrating. I haven't had any luck with VMWare.

    You should really consider posting your Fusion related questions on VMWare's own forums, as it's not an Apple product, and Apple discussions only provide support for Apple products:

  • Airport Express, Lexmark x6690 and iPad2 printing issues

    I have recently bought an Airport Express to take with me to university. I am wanting to use it to turn an Ethernet Connection to Wireless and to use my existing Lexmark x6690 printer. I set up the Airport Express using my iPad 2 and it seemed to go fine. When I tried to print a test Pages document it said that "No Airprint printers found". I deleted the software on my family's PC, and reset the Airport and tried again. The same result.
    Is there anyway that I could get this printer to work to that I don't have to get a new printer? If I have to get a new printer, which one would be the easiest to set up with minimal expence and effort but also be cheap to buy and run?
    (I would only be using the printer to print, not to scan or fax anything)

    The Lexmark X6690 is not AirPrint compatible so you will not be able to print directly from your iPad. You can use our LexPrint App to print from your iPad but you'll need a host computer to act as a bridge. Just click on the link to know more: LexPrint App
    Also, we have released a new line of printers that's compatible with AirPrint: Pro715, Pro915, S315, S415, S515, Pro4000 and Pro5500. Just go to www.Lexmark.com for more information.

  • Mac mini and Xerox printer issue

    Hi! I recently bought a Mac mini (late 2012 edition), running OS X 10.8.6.
    Everything was running smoothly (NTFS compatibility, ability to play media files, office suite etc etc) until I had to use the printer.
    I have a Xerox Phaser 3160b. Several days before migrating to Mac OS I downloaded these drivers from the Xerox website, thinking there will no problems at all.
    Today, I tried to print a page. A blank page was printed, with traces of ink on it. I could hear the drum spinning, meaning that it actually was working. I got worried that the printer might get broken, so I switched it off.
    When trying to print using Windows 15 minutes later, there was no problem with the 3160b - worked like a charm.
    To summarize - the printer is being recognized by the OS X, it does follow the Print command when clicking the Print button in Word, printing starts ... but the pages are blank with traces of the drum. I reckon it might need a specific software tweak I'm not aware of.
    Any ideas?

    Updating the OS is only likely to fix the problem, if it overwrites a specific corrupt file, or eliminates one that is unnecessary.  The odds of that happening are slim to  none.  Has it ever behaved before under 10.8.3?

  • How to Embed Fonts and make Grayscale in Acrobat Pro 9 PDF

    I supplied my printer with a PDF but he says that I need to "Embed The Fonts" in the PDF.
    I made the original document in MS WORD and then I created the PDF in Acrobat Pro 9 but nowhere
    along the way did I see anything that asked me to Embed The Fonts.
    He also says that the type is in RGB but it needs to be in Grayscale.
    When I created the PDF I didn't see any option along the way that gave me a choice between
    RGB and Grayscale.
    Any ideas how to achieve these two effects while going from an MS WORD document to a PDF using
    Acrobat Pro 9 please?
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Sorry to bother you with my problem but I wondered if you could explain a little bit more about things I didn't understand.
    1 - you said > On a Mac there is no advantage to using the Word plug-in.
    Do you mean that I can type directly into Acrobat?
    I thought that a document needed to be created in a word processor first before I could turn it into a PDF.
    Is that incorrect then?
    2 - > Create the pdf file a print file menu gives you greater control.
    I do apologize but I did not understand this statement either, could you please expand on it a little (to a non-techie.)
    3 - > If you use the Press job option setting, the fonts will be embedded.
    I can't find Press job option setting anywhere - I am using Acrobat pro 9 but there doesn't seem to be a menu with Press
    anywhere, could you please expand on this a little bit too please.
    4 - > If the pdf file has already been created it can be converted to greyscale using the Preflight or Convert Colors
    under Advanced -> Print Production.
    I understood this part and I executed it according to your instructions so thank you for that.
    Unfortunately I couldn't find out how to embed my fonts and my printer charged me $75 to do that
    so I was pretty upset about not being able to understand that part of your explanation.
    Since the printer was able to embed the fonts in a document that was already a PDF then it must be possible
    to embed fonts after a PDF has been created, is that correct?
    If that is correct then i don't know how I could not find how to do it because I looked everywhere for that
    ability but I could not find how to do it.
    I'd be very grateful for any further help you could give, thank you.
