TextEdit font won't print correctly

When I change the font size in TextEdit, it shows up correctly on the screen and in the font box, but when I print it continues to print at the original size, not the size I want.
Help.

Hello @opawig ,
Welcome to the HP forum.
I understand that when you print a calender that no fonts will print.
I would like to help with this.
I would like to double check the printer.
If a print quality report is printed, what does the quality look like? 
To print a quality report, touch the wrench icon on the printers display.
Select Tools, then touch Print Quality Report.
If the report is fine, the issue is probably with the app. If the report does not look right, then you may have a different issue.
Please let me know how the report looks.

  • A particular Apple Symbols glyph won't print correctly

    I'm using ID CS under OSX 10.4.11. When I use a glyph from Apple Symbols (Unicode 21AA, a right-pointing arrow), it shows up okay in InDesign and also when I export to PDF. But when I print to a black and white laser (HP 5200L and HP 1200) it shows up as a rectangular box.
    So I did a test. I tried a heart from Apple Symbols (Unicode 2665), and that did print okay.
    In the Print Dialog box I have chosen Graphics > Font > Download Complete, and ticked the box called Download PPD fonts.
    Any suggestions why this particular symbol doesn't print correctly?

    I have revisited this problem to find out exactly where the problem lies. If anyone is interested to try to replicate the problem, you can download a small file called "Print Test" from here:
    http://www.mediafire.com/?xz1dzxfxk09
    The file is only a few lines of text with the relevant symbols. There are three symbols: a heart, an arrow, and a tent.
    1. When I print with InDesign CS, the arrow and tent come out as vertical rectangles.
    2. When I export as PDF and print, everything is OK.
    3. When I copy the InDesign text, past in TextEdit and print, all is OK.
    So it appears that InDesign CS is not printing certain symbols properly. Any suggestions as to why that would be?

  • Font aren't printing correctly

    My fonts quit printing in Freehand MX so I upgraded to
    MX11.0.2
    Still wont print. All font print our fine in other
    programs

    Using FreeHand 11.0.2 and Mac OS 10.5.6, some fonts weren't
    printing for me to my HP LaserJet 4100n. Printing to PDF via
    Distiller 9 or the system usually worked OK. After trying many
    different experiments (i.e. tearing my hair out), I came upon
    something that worked. I put the fonts I wanted into the
    /Library/Fonts folder. The permissions of those fonts were set to:
    me = read and write
    staff = read only
    everyone = read only
    I opened the info window for those fonts, unlocked the
    padlock, and changed the permissions to:
    me = read and write
    admin = read only (this had to me manually added using the
    "+" sign
    everyone = read only
    I deleted the permissions for "staff", though I'm not certain
    this was required. Locked the padlock, closed the info window, and
    so far they are printing happily. It's important that all of the
    permissions for the system be set correctly, so using Disk Utility
    to verify and repair them is also a good idea. That won't fix the
    permissions for an individual font file, so you have to do it
    manually.

  • HP Officejet Pro L7590 won't print correctly after it sits a few days Windows Vista USB connection

    I have a HP Officejet Pro L7590 All In One.  It all of a sudden will not print correctly after it sits a few days.  I purchased a new black/yellow printhead recently and it did print well for about a week.  If it sits a few days, it acts up again.  All I have to do to fix it is take out the yellow/black printhead clean with sterile water on a q tip the printhead, put it back in, and walla it prints again until the next time I want to use the printer, and the same thing again.  Today I printed out some pictures after not using the printer for 5 days, the pics had large vertical stripes in them, the stripes have colors in them.  I cleaned the printhead and it worked perfectly.  Any ideas.  I have replaced the black cartride, and the yellow recently.
    Thanks for any help

    Rocky8,
    This is a little outside our area of printing, but I'll try and help you the best I can. My question for you is the printer showing up under the USB menu in Parallels. If it's not showing up then you need to determine why the USB connection isn't showing up in your Parallels USB menu.  This could be a couple of issues, but the one that I think might be happening is the version of the USB port your using.  Can you verify that you're not connecting the printer via a USB 3.0 port.  Try plugging into one of your other USB ports to see if the printer will show up in the parallels USB menu.

    Hello pcmtgrl
    Which model of the Officejet 8500A series do you have? Typically you can find it inside the printer where you change the ink cartridges. Example: A910g, A910a, etc.
    Has anything changed recently since the problem started? Is the printer plugged into a wall outlet or a surge protector? Do you have the latest firmware installed? I also suggest running the HP Hardware Diagnostic Utility. Let me know if it finds anything out.

  • Image getting resized in website, won't print correctly. Help!

    videoimagination.com
    Yes, it's a template. Yes, it's hideous. No, I'll never do it
    again.
    Too late.
    Anyway.
    If you click the "Families" button on the top of the page,
    then click on "Order Form" or "Film Gauge" links, my files open,
    and there's the image.
    Except...The film gauge chart must print actual size.
    They're both empty html pages with a jpeg image inserted.
    when I print the jpeg images from any editing program,
    they're hunky-dory.
    As soon as I insert the images into the empty html page, they
    don't print actual size.
    And I can't figure out how to make the order form default
    print to landscape.
    Any help appreciated.
    I teach 9th grade in real life, so please use small words and
    type slooooowly. It's been a long week.
    Thanks in advance.

    forget inches.
    The image will print at the pixel size it is. If you want it
    larger- make it
    a larger pixel dimension in an image editor.

    Can't force landscape printing in any practical way.
    Adapt and overcome- turn the image 90 degrees and enlarge it
    so it will fit
    standard paper. Standard us paper would be about 612px by
    792px. You have
    to go smaller to deal with default margin settings in the
    printer.
    question- there is tons of scripting on the order form page
    to test for
    flash player, but there's no .swf in them.
    Making the order form a .pdf would be okay probably.
    If you make the images oversize, it depends on how the user's
    Print Dialog
    Box is set on what will happen. If it's set to print actual
    size, extra
    sheets of paper will come out. If it's set to "size to fit
    paper" it will
    shink to fit one page.
    There are also absolute paths to your hard drive.

  • Fonts won't print or preview with the book

    I've ordered some books that had text on the pages, when I got them back from apple, the font didn't print. I kept the default font in the settings and can't figure out why it didn't print. (usually the font is Helvetica Neuv) When I try to preview the book it will only preview page 1 and 2. I feel like an idiot but can't seem to figure this out.
    To print/preview the book I highlight the book on the left of the screen, go to print, then hit preview. The book assembles and still only get page 1 & 2. Any help on both questions would be appreciated.

    Try cleaning out the iPhoto cache folder that's in the User/Library/Caches folder. Also clean out the Font caches with OnyX.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB file backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Fonts are not printing correctly

    We use Jetforms 5.3.1.0.143 with QuadraMed's AFfinity product. A query is written in Affinity and used to produce a Jetform. We run the query and send to a printer. The information in the data fields prints the correct font and spacing. The text on the Jetform itself does not print out correctly. For example, we use Arial font for both the fields and the text. The font/spacing for the text changes. It does not print in Arial and the letters are extremely close together. Any ideas? Thank you.

    Hi Bonnie, sounds like the font may not be available in the printer and it is substuting as best it can. My recollection of Affinity is that it runs on an HPUX system so you would need to include the fonts when you compile the form. If these suggestions don't help, feel free to send me the ifd so I can have a look.

  • Imported pdf _ fonts don't print correctly from CS3

    When I place a pdf file in InDesign CS3 and I imageset it on an Agfa Selectset, some fonts get squished together. InDesign CS2 prints ok, though. How come?

    HI,
    It is an open type font so should work, but it looks like the problem is that it hasn't installed correctly in Illustrator. I am using Windows 7 so right-clicked fonts and clicked install. Fonts appear in fonts area of control panel and install in disabled when font is viewed.  they work correctly in other apps, such as Word
    When I vew the VistaSans fonts (in existing file) in Illustrator, they appear in the fonts drop-down, but have an asterisk beside them (i.e. not installed) so how do I get them to install correctly in Illustrator? Font isn't appearing in Photoshop either.

  • Envelopes won't print correctly to HP Color LaserJet 2550n

    I have been having some printing issues since I set up our printer as a Bonjour printer with my AirPort Extreme Base Station. Ironically when I had our HP Color LaserJet 2550n set up as a networked printer on a LAN port of one of our Linksys routers my family had very few printing issues. It was in this configuration that I was able to print an envelope in Pages '08 without any problems. Now I can get the information to print, but if I put in a letter sized piece of paper to 'test' the information prints across the bottom of the page in correct format, but not in the correct orientation for a #10 envelope.
    I have gone to page setup and changed the Paper Size to #10 envelope. This did not help. This is so frustrating since I was printing without issue when this printer was on a LAN port of our second Linksys router. I am now using Easy Envelopes from Ambrosia as a work around, but want to be able to print from within Pages '08, and not have to rely on Easy Envelopes or MS Word 2006. I am wondering if this has to do with the drivers that I had to use when I set up this printer on the USB port of my AirPort Extreme Base Station.

    Well go figure. When I went to System Preferences/Print and Fax, and it showed two versions of my printer. The one with an accurate picture representing my printer, and one that used Generic Post Script drivers with a picture that did not look like my printer. So I uninstalled both printers, shut down my computer, did some things for awhile, restarted my computer, went to System Preferences/Print and Fax and clicked on the “+” to add a printer. The computer very quickly recognized up my printer with the correct picture for it. I added this printer, and went to Pages ’08 and it printed a #10 envelope without a hitch.
    I think that what happened was that I recently did a reinstall of OS X Tiger, and as a part of that install I had a problem with the .DMG file I downloaded from HP’s web-site, and wonder if this is when the generic PS files were installed.
    Anyway my printer seems to be working fine now, and maybe this will help someone with the same problem.

  • Won't print correct size of pictures

    My computer runs Vista and I recently installed a HP 1510 series printer.  It prints regular documents fine, but when I try to print 4x6 pictures it will not print the full size.  I am given only one option in print job (Windows Photo Gallery is default software) full page.  I have tried selecting and de-selecting "fit frame" and it made not difference.  I have reset the printer a few times and checked to be sure all drivers were up-to-date.  I just want to click on the picture and have it print the right size!  Any help would be appreciated.

    MaryLiz,
    You do have to have the Full Feature Software installed for your printer for this to all work properly:
    Install Full Feature Software - Printer
    If you have the printer software installed, it is probably OK.
    ==================================================​=========================
    If you select paper size 4X6, then you cannot also select the other options shown in that last column.  These are mutually exclusive.  The options that are available change according to the kind of paper you select.
    Are you using 4X6 paper in the printer?
    The printing preferences are something you have to set up the way you like -- and then change them when you change the paper, change the "thing" you are printing, change your mind about what you want...
    You can click on a photo and have it automatically print a 4X6 photo if you have a printer with a photo-tray in it with photo paper loaded and ready to go.  You would still have to change the printing preferences if you wanted to change the setup for any reason at all.
    I think I might be missing the point entirely.  My apologies for the Sloth-Brain.  Smiling.

  • HP Photosmart Plus B209a - Won't print correctly straight from the web.

    When printing directly from a web page using a print icon on the web page my printer prints the entire web page, sometimes jumbled up instead of just printing the page it should. I can temporarily fix this by going to: File → Print Preview → Print Frames and changing the setting from “As laid out on screen” to “Only the selected frames”. Is there any permanent fix to this?
    My operating system is Windows XP Home Edition SP2 and IE 6.0.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for that. I have just updated it to IE8 and it now works as advertised.

  • OfficeJet 6500A - won't print correctly on letterhead

    OE Vista
    I am trying to print on a letterhead which has about a 3 inch dark picture at the top.  The printer acts as if it is sensing the picture and it does not start printing until about half was down the page.   It doesn't matter if I print directly from the program or if I put an original on the glass and try to make a copy onto the letterhead.  There must be a setting I need to change but I can't find it.
    THank you,

    Does it only do this when you use the letterhead, or does it happen with other types of paper?

  • Fonts won't download correctly to mac

    When I open my bank statement and download it part of it looks like it is in hieroglyphics. This happens with Safari or Firefox so I think the problem must be with a setting in my MacBook Pro.
    This MacBook is new and all my settings and files were transferred from my old macbook that was running Leopord with the new MacBook Pro running Lion.
    1.I have not noticed this on other pdf/downloads yet.
    2. I can view it properly from gmail
    3. I can view it properly and save to ibooks on my iphone.
    Seems like small glitches cause a lot of lost time
    Thanks
