Suddenly! Images not printing

I'm designing a poster and have NEVER had this happen before. When I print none of my images will print. It worked earlier this morning, then all of a sudden they quit printing. Now that includeds jpgs, artwork from Illustrator, Photoshop. It could be something I mistakingly did but I have no idea since I've never seen this before.
Other InDesign documents print just fine. So it has to be some switch turned on or off in this document only.
Any help would be appreciated.

I have it set up as follows:
Print Graphics
Send Data: All
Output: Composite RGB
Layer options:
Show Layer
Show Guides
Layer is not locked
Nothing checked in Attributes.
Any other ideas?

SAPScript Image not printing

Hi all,
In SAPScript I can see an image in the print preview, but when i print it is not printing from spool, other text parts are printing.
Please help me in solving this.
Thanks

Hi,
It should print from spool. Please check the spool whether the image is there or not.

PrintDataGrid's DataGridColumn - Embedded image not printing when you use TextFlow in the item rende

I'm printing a datagrid using something like this...
<mx:PrintDataGrid
id="printDataGrid"
width="100%"
height="100%"
showHeaders="false"
borderVisible="false"
horizontalGridLines="false"
variableRowHeight="true"
dataProvider="{titles}"
>
<mx:columns>
   <mx:DataGridColumn
    itemRenderer="renderer.TitlePrintRenderer"
    />
</mx:columns>
</mx:PrintDataGrid>
TitlePrintRenderer.mxml has s:RichText component. I use RichText's textFlow property to render the text. The approach is working fine except that if the textFlow has embedded images (<img source=... />), the images are not printed!
Is this a bug? Is it a limitation? Has anyone come across this issue?
I'm using Flex SDK 4.5.1

After struggling for 4+ days on using timer / events for printing PrintDataGrid with embedded images in RichText's textFlow, I tried your other suggestion... to convert <img> tags to InlineGraphicElement and give it Bitmap from image loaded from a .gif file. The approach works but the printout skips images in a few rows!
I've this test case in which, every time I print, it skips printing image in the second row! I also implemented this approach in a more complex test case and depending on the total number of rows, it would skip printing image in different number of rows. I'm suspecting that even if you construct InlineGraphicElement from bitmap loaded from an image, PrintDataGrid's renderer still skips printing image intermittently.
I would very much appreciate it if you could create small project from my following code and verify this behavior. I'm at my wit's end in getting this printing to work.

Image not printed in SapScript, only after page break

Hi,
I have a problem in printing an image (stored as text) in a sapscript. The image was uploaded correctly from a TIF file in tcode SE78. The image contains a signature and I need to print it at variable positions within the form. That is I need to print it in the MAIN window. The image does not get printed when a page break occurs when outputing the text element containing the picture. If the page break occurs when outputing any (other) text, the image is printed correctly (after that text).
Has anybody else encountered this problem? Could it be a sapscript bug?
Thx in advance.
Claudiu

Images not printing clear

Hello, I'm sure this topic has come up before, but I did a search and can't find any relative articles; so sorry if I'm bringing up "old news."
I'm having difficulty in getting images to print clearly with Pages. I'm writing a book on musical topics and am using Finale 2007 to create musical examples. I've tried saving them as gif, tiff, png, pict, etc. The results are always the same; when I place them on my pages document they look a little blurry, and when I print them they look even worse. If I open them in Preview they look fine, at all different zoom levels, so I know the images themselves are not necessarily the problem.
Back in grad school (about 10 years ago) I had the exact same problem with Word; I somehow solved it, but I can't remember how!
Any advice on how I can get my musical images to look and print clean and crisp will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in adavance!

Hi @Anna44,
Does the document look as you expect it to when you look at the print preview? Does the print preview and the actual print appear the same or different?
This might be a formatting issue with Word, not with the printer. What happens if you print a document with images you are not posting in from Google?

EPS Images not Printing

I have inserted an EPS image on each of four worksheets in an excel workbook. When I print to the Adobe PDF converter printer I see the EPS images in print preview, however when the multi-page pdf document is created I only see the EPS image on the first page. Any ideas on how to correct the problem?

It's sort of interesting. When I print to my standard laser printers all of the images show in Print Preview and also print just fine. When I use the adobe PDF printer I can also see the images in print preview however only the image on the first page shows up in the pdf document. The images on the other pages are not viewable. That is I have an exel workbook with four (4) worksheets (tabs) each worksheet has an EPS image inserted. When I create a pdf only the image on the first page prints. When I try to isolate by printing only the second or subsequent page those images do not show up inthe pdf document.

Why has part of an image not printed from pdf file?

Hi, I have recently used Indesign to do the layout for a press advertisement. I exported the file as a High Quality pdf file to send to the printer. The logo on the advertisement has not printed out correctly - the text part of the logo is showing but not the surrounding graphic. When you export and view the pdf file onscreen, everything looks fine. The graphic part of the logo is white - would this have anything to do with why it has not printed? What options should I have checked/unchecked to make sure the pdf prints exactly as it is seen onscreen or is it a problem with the logo file itself?
I would appreciate any assistance.

Hi
if the logo is placed in front of the tint/backgrounds, if it's reverse the tint/background same color will be applied and the percentage of the color has been changed to 0%. it will works fine rather than changing the overprint/knockout. hopes it works.
I'm afraid I don't understand waht you are trying to say here. The white in a logo should generally never be set to overprint. The only way I can think of to get any interaction between a backgorund and a white overprint is to use a blending mode, and that would affect the other colors as well, typically not what you want in a logo situation.
This is a mistake in the construction of the original art, not a problem at can be fixed directly in ID.

BMP image not printing on LIPI Dot MAtrix printer

Hello everybody .
I am facing a promlem while printing a signature ( bmp image ) in a report .
In print preview it is showing coreclty but while printing to LIPI Dot matrix printer model TALLY 2500 that Signature( bmp image ) is not getting printer.
Can anybody let me know wether any setting is to be done from SAP side .
Thanks in advance .
Regards
Dhaval..

Hi Raje,
Try to take the print in inkjet or laserjet printer
just for confirmation purpose .
if it prints in that and doesn't print in dot matrix then the problem is with the dot matrix.
In that case ask the basis guys to install the relevent device driver for that dot matrix printer( as normally they would have installed some generic driver ).
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Guru

Image not printing in CS5

I have a strange issue with my Epson R3880 printer: when I make up a composite image in Photoshop CS5 12.0.4 by cutting and pasting from various other images (then flattening the layers), I cannot get it to print although the printer goes through the motions, but nothing appears on the paper; also the print head doesn't attempt to print over that part of the paper where the image should be appearing (I'm actually doing proofing). I've done everything I can think of - I've reinstalled Photoshop and the latest printer drivers, and tried to print it in other applications (Photoshop Elements and Gimp). Any other images (ie non-cut and paste) print satisfactorily. I did speak to someone on the Epson help desk who told me he thought it was a Photoshop problem, but the fact that the image won't print in Gimp suggests this may not be the case. The only thing I can think is that something in CS5 which created the image causes an allergic reaction in the printer! I'm running Vista x64. Does anyone have any thoughts on the subject?

SUDDENLY - IMAGES NOT SHOWING UP IN MAC MAIL

Suddenly, just in the last few days, my Mac Mail isn't showing any images in the messages themselves in any of my accounts. What setting could be the cause? I have checked, "Display remote images in HTML messages", but that doesn't seem to help. Where there should be images are instead "?" marks.
I've checked Little Snitch for any connections that were being blocked as well as my Mail preferences and nothing is solving the issue. It's happening on both of my PPC computers running 10.5.8.
Mail version 3.6 (936)
Thanks a million for any help or advice.

Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...

AI images not printing correctly from InDesign

(Reposting from Color Management Forum)
First off, please forgive me if this is not the right forum or if I am not using the right terms. I am the network admin for our company and I'm posting this on behalf of our designer.
We recently added PostScript drivers to our Sharp printers, and we have been seeing odd printing results when printing embedded .AI files.
We use CreativeSuite CS5, and our developer has hundreds of images with pure white and transparent backgrounds stored in .AI format. When these images are embedded/linked to an Indesign document they print with a solid black background and what appears to be an inverted color pattern, almost like a photo negative.
All embedded EPS images print fine. The affected .AI files print fine when printed directly from Illustrator.
The embedded images print fine using a PCL driver. We are trying to implement the Postscript driver for better color quality.
Any ideas?
(We are using Windows XP SP3, x86
Server based network printing on Windows 2003 x86)
Thanks in advance
Matt

Unfortunately, no we are still dealing with it. Like you, I have found very little on this anywhere else.
Sharp has been very helpful, trying to see if it is something in the PS drivers, but to no avail. I'm pretty confident that there is nothing wrong with the PS drivers since everything else prints just fine.
So far, our designer is either converting images to EPS documents or converting the InDesign file to PDF before printing. Frustrating and time consuming are an understatement, but it is getting the job done.
If you do find something, please post back here! I'll do the same.
