TextEdit documents not printing correctly

Print comes out very small - like 5 point!
What's up?

Thanks for the reply.
I still find it weird that TextEdit is so un-WYSIWYG though!

Documents not printing correctly

We recently upgraded our marketing department from CS4 Design Standard to CS5.5 on to CS6 and now a printing problem has cropped up, starting in CS5.5.
When printing a document with a lot on it most of the graphics are missing. The only way to get the document to print correctly is to export to Acrobat and print from there. I thought it might be a post script driver issue so I updated it to latest one available, even trying the universal driver, but the issue still remained. I then tried the PCL driver, this seemed to fix the issue, everything prints but it doesn't print very well with boxes showing all around the images. Also using the PCL driver has caused issues with other unrelated software so I'd prefer to use the Post Script driver.
I have printed the problem documents from my computer using a different printer with no problems but I am in a different state so that doesn't help them much.
InDesign is version 8.0, the OS is Vista SP2 and the printer is a Ricoh Aficio MP C5000 using a PCL6 driver.
I can supply an example if that will help at all, any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated as it's driving our design team nuts.

I can print to a different printer, but still a Ricoh, from a different computer using the same file and same version of InDesign with no issues using the Ricoh universal PS driver. I may try the universal PS again in just in case.
I did manage to find some small print that said genuine Adobe Postscript 3;
http://www.ricoh-usa.com/products/docs/pdf/brochures/multifunction_color/Aficiompc4000.pdf ,
found near the end under Print Controller specifications.
I'll do some more testing from other PC's to the same printer as not everyone has reported similar issues, though I don't know if thats using InDesign specifically or other CS programs.
Your suggestion to print from a PDF isn't the first I've come across so if worse comes to worse that may be the way to go.
Cheers!

Added text & signatures do not print correctly

I am using Acrobat Reader v10.4.4 on my iPad Mini with IOS 6.1.2 and am having issues printing. I can open any PDF and have it displayed correctly. I can add text and signatures and the document is saved correctly because it can be opened after the changes are made and they are still there. When I try to print the document where I have added text and signatures to, the document does not print correctly. All of the text and the signature are shrunk to a very small size and appear in the lower left hand of the page.
I depend on my apps to work they way they should and having this issue makes my work very hard. I have to be very creative and perform unnecessary steps to get my PDF's to print the way they should. Does anyone have some insight in to this bug?

Hi,
Thanks for reporting this issue. We would like to investigate this issue at our end and if you could share one such pdf file in which you are facing the issue at [email protected], that would greatly help us.
Thanks,

11x17 tabloid does not print correctly

I am using an HP Photosmart printer model 8550, my previous printer was an HP Photosmart 8750. That printer died and the 8550 is the newer model of the same printer. When trying to print an 11X17 document in tabloid, the page does not print correctly nor does it show in preview mode correctly. The page shifts to the upper left corner so that the left side and top of the document do not print. If you scale down the size you can get it to print the whole documentm but you cannot get it to use the whole 11x17 page. Anyone else with this problem and a solution? Thanks!

I am having a similar problem. I have windows XL,
and a hp Deskjet 9800. I have been using PM 6.5 ever since it came out. I publish a newsletter using tabloid fold in half, under booklet. So it is a really a 4 page document. It has always done fine until this week. It prints the copy in reduced format that would fit on a 8 1\2 x 11. I have tried every setting possible, with no success. Today I downloaded the trial 7.0 version, it does the same thing. I went back and printed old versions that a 3 & 4 years old they won't print right now, either.
It's old software and new operating system/printer drivers. You are unlikely to get any help from Adobe or HP but you can try.
Create a PDF and print that as it's unlikely the DeskJet has PS mode.
BTW, booklet printing is far easier with ISO paper sizes.
Move on up to InDesign while you can still get a big discount with PM Licence number.

Colors not printing correctly. Only blue and black work.

I just got a new HP OfficeJet all in one inkjet 8620 printer. The colors aren't printing correctly. Everything comes out light blue with black lettering. I tried installing new cartridges (genuine HP) and also tried gently shaking the cartridges. But the problem persists.

Hi @Iolanthe ,
I see that you are experiencing issues with the colors not printing correctly. I would like to help you resolve this issue.
I have provided a document with some steps to try to see if that will resolve the issue.
Fixing Print Quality Problems for the HP Officejet Pro 8610, 8620, 8630, 8640, and 8660 e-All-in-One...
Please let me know the results of the Print Quality Diagnostic Page?
If the test pages are printing properly, it could be a software issue.
What operating system are you using? Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. Make sure it shows just the printer's name.
Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen it should show the printer's name. (Officejet 8620)
If the full printer name isn't listed correctly, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver, might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in.
Let me know how the printer name was listed.
From the application, make sure you are selecting the proper paper type.
Try another application to see if you have the same issue.
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a great day!
Thank You.

Upgraded to CS5 Illustrator form CS3 Illustrator. Colors are not printing correctly in CS5

I have just recently purchased CS5 Premium Suite. I am working with Illustrator. When I print my CS3 Illustrator files in CS5 the colors are not printing correctly. Is there a way to fix this problem

I've been doing more troubleshooting since I wrote this post. I've now tried printing from a non-Adobe app and I'm getting the same margin error. So it is definitely a Xerox issue and I have a tech coming out on Monday.
The reason I originally figured it must be an CS5 issue is because just two weeks ago when I was using CS2, our landscape-oriented programs were printing with .25" margins as they should. Then last week after upgrading to CS5, the inside page (2nd page) was noticeably out of whack and shifted to the right (not left). But when I started trying to troubleshoot this week, everything started shifting to the left.
The only thing different between those two weeks was the fact I updated to CS5.
But obviously, my printer as decided to go to crap in more ways than one all in a two week period. Hopefully the tech can sort it out next Monday.
Thanks!

PDF will not print correctly from any app

I seem to keep on getting the same error everywhere I print on SL (from safari/firefox/preview etc etc)
It will usually print any lines or logos but miss all text?? I did have the dreaded adobe reader installed but have since removed it?
I am in urgent need of printing out some manuals for a class so in real trouble, help!

Where do these PDFs that do not print correctly come from? Are they downloaded from the internet or from email? Or do you create them yourself on your computer? If so, in which program?
Do some PDF files print correctly, but not others? Did you remove the dreaded Acrobat Reader before this problem developed or after? Did this problem develop only after you ungraded to a certain release of Snow Leopard or has it never worked in SL?
PDF is wonderful technology, but every so often there can be issues.

Printing on HP P1505 not printing correctly yet Explorer 9 works on same web site with same printer.

I have download the latest software for Firefox and the HP P1505 printer, but the pictures within the web site print correctly. The text information is not printing correctly. Lots of spaces and the font is a mess. You can read the text information, but it is all over the page. Firefox did print with no issues before 4.0b12. It always worked with the version 3 of course. I really do not want to go back to 3 as 4 is better except for this issue.

This is a known issue in Firefox 4 beta 12. You could wait til' the RC comes out, or you could grab one of the latest nightly builds availible here that fix this problem: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-central/
Just a note though, nightly versions of firefox are generally less stable than betas or releases. I am waiting for the Release Candidate to come out myself. (Should be early next week)

HP Photosmart premium not printing correct colors or contrast on photo paper.

My HP Photosmart Premium does not print correct colors or contrast level on photographs using photo paper. This happens with using most any application and setting the paper type to one of the photo papers... By using MS PhotoAlbum and selecting the photo tray then forcing "regular paper", I can get a somewhat decent print (this trick only works with MS PhotoAlbum). When I setup to any of the "photo paper" types, I do not get correct colors or contrast levels (even if the print preview looks good).
I have the same issue with 8.5 x 11 inch photopaper. Unless I select "regular paper" as the paper type, I get incorrect color and contrast (even if the preview looks good). The ICC "Color Profiles" look to be OK (at least the titles are correct).
Anyone have any ideas?

Try the troubleshooting steps in this page. My bet would be the Photo cartridge (the black with the bow tie symbol) is out of ink. This is only used when photo paper is selected, for plain paper printing the regular black cartridge is used.

Adobe Acrobat Pro X 10.1.7 (Mac) does not print correctly.

I have a Mac Pro (Model 1.1) with Adobe Acrobat X 10.1.7. When an item is scanned, it appears correctly on the screen, but it does not print correctly. I am sending along screenshots of what a scanned item looks like on the screen and then what prints.

Thanks Michael, have tried that, no luck. I will wait a couple of days to see if any other solutions come up (or if anyone else is suddenly having the same issue) before reinstalling Acrobat.
[OK just tried sending a PDF attachment directly from another program (MYOB) through to Mac Mail and had the same problem so it is not an Acrobat issue afterall, it is a Mac Mail or Mac OS X issue. Will post this on the Apple site.]
I have resolved the MYOB issue, it was working just painfully slow. So I still have the original Acrobat Pro PDF to Mac Mail issue if anyone knows of any solutions please?
