Text converted to lines will not print

I have a AICS3 document with some text. The font acts a little funny, but it has been working. It shows up fine in my document, but it will not print. I conert it to lines, it shows up in my document, but it still won't print. I place it in an ID file, export it as a PDF. The text shows up in ID, but will not print. It shows up when I open the PDF in Acrobat Reader, but not in Acrobat. In both cases, the text (that has been long converted to outlines) does not print. Can anyone help? Since the text has been converted to outlines is it not just a group of compound paths? I even changed the fill with no luck. In general, I am very tired of the way we users are treated like criminals when it comes to fonts--regardless if that is the problem here. I mean, what good is a font if you can't print it? Anyway, I digress. Any ideas from anyone? I'd really like to get this thing printed.
Thanks,

"Overprint fill" is useful in a situation such as 100K text printing over solid yellow. The setting will prevent the yellow from being knocked out behind the black, causing unnecessary registration problems.
White text is created by lack of ink, so preventing the background objects from being knocked out causes the white objects to disappear. Only if you were printing opaque white ink over a color, such as in screen printing, would that ever be used, and probably not even then.
Hopefully an expert will come along with a more detailed and accurate explanation.

My Macbook with 10.6.8 is having trouble with certain applications- Word will not open, and text edit or pdf will not print.

My Macbook (13 inch 2008) running OS 10.6.8 is having trouble with some applications. Word will not even open. I cannot print from text edit or Preview or Adobe. Excel sometimes opens but very slow. What could be wrong? I have repaired permissions, used an antivirus program, deleted some old MS fonts, and still no change. I have 1 G RAM and there seems to be plenty available and I have 50 G of hard drive space empty.

Well, first 1gb of Ram is not plenty. It's the absolute bare minimum just to run OS X 10.6.8. The MS Office applications are ram hogs also. I would recommend three things.
1. Get more ram.
2. Reinstall and update your MS Office applications.
3. Reinstall Snow Leopard.
If you're not familiar with Activity Monitor you might have a look at this link and you'll be able to judge your ram situation a little better.

Officejet Pro 8600 - Slanted lines will not print smooth

I just purchased this printer and use it for home-office. I do a lot of graphics which have slanted lines throughout the documents.
These print very rough and jagged instead of smooth from one end to the other. I have aligned the printheads several times, but this
feature doesn't show any linear contrasts, only small colored blocks, etc. Is there another alignment process I should be using?

If you're a non-designer, you might not be aware of resolution issues. It could be that your slanted lines look fine on the screen because the monitor doesn't need anything higher than 72dpi (or 96dpi for a PC).
If you *are* a designer, you already know about resolution and raster and vector ... but could you maybe sort of forgotten to rasterize a vector line? Or maybe pasted a CMYK image into an RGB document? I'm just askin' because I bin der dun dat.

Acrobat 9 - Currently a PDF I have crossed out text, highlighted, utilized Text Box Tool, etc. will not print with those edits.

The original, unedited pdf prints without the edits I have made. Used to be able to and can no longer do so. Any suggestions?

In the Print dialog, make sure that under "Comments & Forms" you select
"Document and Markups".

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.

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.

Firefox 5 with Fedora 15 prints text, but will not print images from web pages.

I have a Pentium 3 laptop running Fedora 15 and using Firefox 5.0. Firefox will print the text from a website, but will not print the images. It just leaves the spaces blank where the images should be. Print preview shows the same results. I have a AMD desktop and a Pentium 4 laptop running the same software, except that the desktop is running the 64-bit version of Fedora 15 and the second laptop is running the 32-bit version. The desktop prints the text and images without very many problems, but both laptops will print the text, but ''not'' the images.
As a test, I downgraded Firefox from version 5.0 to 4.0.1 on the Pentium 4 laptop and encountered the same problem. So, since I do not print much from either laptop, I had not before seen this problem. The desktop has never seen it.
I figure it may be an about:config problem, but I do not know what the parameter may be that is causing the problem.

My printer will not print text but the paper will go through real fast

my printer hp deskjet845c will not print text document but will go through the printer with no text on it

Hey there @d888-777!
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
I should be able to provide some suggestions that may resolve the issue regarding text document not printing. Do you get this issue when printing all text document or from specific programs?
I suggest running a cartridge cleaning from the HP Toolbox. If the clean cartridge document prints with text, then you may be looking at a slight software issue. To run a print cartridge cleaning I suggest following this link regarding Cleaning the Inkjet print cartridges. In the document scroll down to cleaning the Inkjet print cartridges and follow the steps.
The printer does not have full feature software for Windows 7 operating system. The printer will need to use the basic in-OS print driver. I suggest removing the printer from the devices and printer menu and re-adding the printer.
To remove the printer from devices and printers:
Press the Start button.
Press devices and printers on the right column.
Select the printer and click remove device.
Unplug the USB cable.
Restart the computer.
To add the printer back:
Wait for the computer to restart.
plug in the USB cable.
Windows 7 should locate the basic print drivers and install the printer.
You may not have all the functions available for the printer with the basic drivers.
Pease post back and let me know how everything goes!

Acobat 8.1 will not print a line

Acobat 8.1 will not print a line or a box on PDF, even though it is displayed on the document. Why?

The line or box still is not displayed on the printed copy.
The document has been saved with the line or box and it still will not print these items.

It completed the file??? If I text message and E-mail address, my cell phone will come up as and E-mail address... has anyone else had this issue? Is it because I texted the the file? It didn't seem to be and issue on any of the other mobile phones used.... I am out of answers.... I tried to E-mail as well...
Thanks in advance

I have nearly the same problem, the printer discards my print job even when i have entered my email address as authorised senders.
Details from my other post:
I sent 2 emails to the printer:
- one is a 3 lines of text and numbers in a GIF file sent as an attachment
- another is a jpg circuit diagram paste in a word doc sent as an attachment
both are classified as spam and refused to print. i have no email coming back saying it failed (even i have checked "Email Job Status" in ePrint Settings.
So what will this HP printer print?
How can I switch this useless spam filter off?
I have get this filter off! I need this email printing to work reliably, that is a major reason I bought this printer
Any suggestions are welcomed...

Epson 777i printer will not print

Epson 777i Printer will not print
I am using an imac with the Epson Stylus Color 777i printer,Gutenprint v5.2.3 and also the Epson 580 printer.
Yesterday the 777i stopped printing. It is in the paused mode. I have replaced the ink cartridges and have tried to
perform troubleshooting but, the printer will not respond to any commands. The green light is on, neither of the
other two lights are on.
The 580 printer is working with no problems.
I need some assistance to get the printer back on line if at all possible. I am not too tech smart, but can follow
directions well.

Adobr Reader XI: document will not print: premium presentation paper

I've had no problems with this before today. Adobe Reader XI gives me an error message that "document will not print". I tried it in draft, plain paper, and it printed, without a problem. I switched browsers, from Google Chrome, redownloaded the document (online labels) into IE8, then tried to reprint as premuim presentation paper, matte, color. Same error message. Yet, as a draft, no problem. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, updated drivers on Epson printer (WF2530), same error message. AShould I do a system restore to two days ago, since this is the last time there was no problem? I print product labels.

Thanks Atul,
Th problem has recently been resolved when my new technician made some adjustmnents. The problem was not the fault of Acrobat. It goes back to my new high definition IPS monitor several weeks earlier. When using Windows Office 2007 I was seeeing green haloes mainly between letters such as" ll, ii, db" etc. where the vertical lines filled with green. In Adobe Bridge, the variable text in control boxes took on a red colour. My technician (at the time) sought help via the Microsoft Help site and found this was a common problem with professional high definition IPS monitors like my new one. The instructions (4 pages from the Microsoft site) said to turn off the Clear Text Type and replace the font 'SEGOE' with Tahoma. As the technician workede his way through the steps, I watched as he marked them off as he went so as to ensure the changes were correctly made. This solved the problem but it wasn't until a week later when I tried to print a PDF file that my problems with Acrobat began. The PC was taken to another technican fora "second opinion" and this man fixed the problem within a short time by changing the font back to the Windows default, SEGOE. He may have done something else but when I saw the printer dialog panel on his workbench with no other problems either, I was anxious to try it with my new monitor. No more colour fringing/haloes etc and no further problems with Acrobat However, I was waiting a little longer before informing you of the outcome-just in case it didn't work.
It seems that Microsoft may be incorrect in their 'Fix' advice as the font SEGO may well be required for Acrobat to print a PDF file?
This case may now be closed with thanks for trying to help with a problem that in the end turned out to not your fault
Bob
