Trouble printing halftones

Can anyone explain how I can get halftone lines to print? No matter what options I chose in the print dialog box > output, NOTHING works. It just prints out the gradient. Any suggetions or ideas? Running CS6  on Mac 10.7.5

You have to change your LPI.
custom driver - may have an lpi option for this Atleast linotronic used to many years ago)
software RIP - change LPI  at your RIP station.
color laser printer - you would have to print seperations. 
Or to msilaulte this edit you gradient in illustrator: effect >> pixelate >> color halftone, enter a  small amount like 12 for max radius.

    I am having trouble printing to an Epson XP600.  We have replaced the printer and we are still having the same problem.  When I try to print from Excel, only the color prints.  Any suggestions?

    Has anyone else had issues not being able to print black (such as a document)?  My photos print great, but when I try to print a simple black-ink document, it won't work. Any suggestions?

  • MS office 2008 now crashing when we try to print. No changes to computer; same old software. New printer 9 months ago, no trouble printing until last month. Other programs (adobe, mac) print fine. What can I try?

    I have an iMac from 2009. It's running OSX 10.6.8 and we've used MS Office 2008 for Mac all along without any trouble.  We replaced our printer 8 or 9 months ago, and we've had no trouble printing from any program until the last several weeks. Now, when we try to print ONLY from word or excel, the print window appears, but then the spinning rainbow comes up, followed by a Microsoft crash message: "Microsoft Word has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I tried to trick it into making a PDF, but the crash comes too fast. The only change to our entire Mac ecosystem is the following: We also have a Macbook Pro that has the 2nd allowed installation of the same MS Office 2008 for Mac. Due to liquid damage 6 weeks ago, that computer was replaced and all of the data and applications were moved from the dead one to the new one. Could this possibly be because microsoft detects a "third" computer "using" its software? I'm guessing no because I've seen several threads about problems similar to mine, and none mention licensing issues. In terms of troubleshooting, I've shut down, unplugged, restarted and tried newly created docs as well as old ones. Same results, no matter what.

  • Trouble Printing with HP Officejet Pro 8500

    Hello - I recently changed my laptop and have a Windows 7.  I went online and downloaded the software and am able to do a test print page with the Print Doctor.  However, when i print from my laptop and select the correct printer, it doesn't do anything or respond with printing.  I was able to install and have it work with my old laptop, i just can't seem to work it on this one.

  • A user is having trouble printing. Print jobs take FOREVER when they used to speed through

    A user is having trouble printing. Print jobs take FOREVER when they used to speed through (despite linked images, etc)
    These are just some notes from our troubleshooting:
    User was trying to print out InDesign document however during the flattening phase, the computer would stall and would not print out the document.
    The document does not print out using double sided or single sided.
    The first time I went out, all I did was a system restore and uninstalled mcafee security plus because we're on a university network and sometimes the firewall blocks network printing, and that worked. She tried to print again later and it went back to taking 30 minutes for a print job of about 19 pages. These print jobs used to take about 5 minutes at the most to print entirely, but they queued up immediately, versus now, it takes about 5 minutes just to get to the printer.
    Further troubleshooting that I did on a separate day:
    Printer was printing fine in November - problem started at some point this month (December)
    Printing is fine elsewhere, including in Adobe Acrobat
    I was able to print one page just fine - it had no images (tried to print the same page later, took forever)
    Some of the images are very large (100MB+) photoshop files (again, they were there before and it printed fine) - these images are linked (with no link errors)
    She prints to a network printer, but there's no firewall on (again, printing is fine elsewhere)
    She's essentially printing with the default settings, she just centers her print, instead of the default layout.
    Now even printing with the default print set (not changing any print settings at all) doesn't work. Jobs take 30 minutes. I can't figure out if it's file specific or where the problem is. Since she has no custom settings, my next option is to just do an uninstall and reinstall, but I'm worried that the problem will still be there. I was starting to think that maybe the file is just so corrupted from all the force quits that that's causing the problem, but... I'm running out of solutions.
    Any help? 

    I have only worked doing layout for one business in my past. In that job our department would sometimes experience slowdown in printing from time to time. However, we began to see extreme slowdowns over a month period. It was finally tracked down to two things. One was something about the RAID array going bonkers. The other was some of the CAT cabling going bad. It only affected large print jobs and copying large files through the network. Even so, it was not 100% of the time. Sometimes things went along smoothly.
    Point is, have your IT people been invited in to experience the issue and see if anything in the network is causing at least latency issues?
    Take care, Mike

  • Having trouble printing over a home network to a Canon S9000 from iMac

    Hello there,
    I recently bought a iMac and am having trouble printing to my Canon S9000 over my home network. If I hook up the printer to the iMac I can print to it, but the PC that is also hooked up to the network can't. If the printer is hooked up to the PC, the PC can print to it, but the iMac can not.
    I downloaded the S9000 driver from Canon and installed it on the iMac. Then brought up the printer in system preferences. I found my printer OK, but I can't seem to find the S9000 driver in the list.
    When the printer is hooked up to the PC and I try to print to it from the iMac this is the error I get: "Error Number : 311 Printer is in use or an error has occurred. If an error has occurred, eliminate the cause of the error."
    Any help is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Your problem is due to the way that Canon wrote the drivers for that printer. It can be shared to Windows machines if it is on a Windows machine, or to Macs if it is on a Mac. It can't be shared cross-platform. It is not supported by GutenPrint, so there is no CUPS system driver available; if there was, you could put it on the Windows machine and share it, and use the CUPS driver to print on your Mac.
    I'm sorry, but that printer will not ever be able to be shared cross-platform unless and until Canon rewrites the drivers. I'd not recommend holding your breath while waiting.
    The best solution to cross-platform printing is to get a network printer. Many vendors, including Brother, Canon, Epson, and HP, make them, some of them at fairly low (under $100) prices.

    I cannot print from my ipad. It is connected to the wireless okay. I have only had this ipad for a month and while I am not sure I think it has been okay to print before 2 days ago, when I tried to print and I got the message "Airprinter not found" Has anyone experienced this and if so what did you do about it?

    Try rebooting your router. Make sure its firmware is updated.

  • Trouble printing a gradient in Illustrator CS3

    Hi Guys,
    I'm having trouble printing a gradient via color seperation on a ecrm MAKO 36 image setter...
    I've uploaded a file. The top light blue border(gradient) will not print. If I take the gradient off it will seperate with no problems.
    I've tried using the compatible gradient & mesh printer settings but it doesn't make any difference.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Curtis

    I looked at the file and found strange things about it. It has two groups of object that only have one object or path in the group and in each case the object has clipping path that does absolutely nothing I would eliminate the clipping by selecting them in the layers panel and deleting using the trash can in the layers panel.
    I would select all the art and in the attributes panel I would make the overprint options for both Fills and strokes set as uncheck, which is what I thin is causing the problem as there is no reason for an overprint.

  • Trouble printing in Photoshop cs4 or lightroom 2

    Hello,
    I have a HP z3200 printer and I have successfully calibrated and profiled this paper but now I am having trouble printing. The profiling said he was successful and ready for use for applications to print, but when I use applications like Photoshop or Lightroom 2 in the print settings and try to choose the paper type under the Paper type/quality in the print dialog in Leopard mac, the settings is grayed out, and won't let me select it. THe loaded paper is right below and I have the source as Manual Feed. THe size im printing to is 13" x 19" and I have selected that size in the page setup, super b/a3 on sheet media. I am using the Epson Enhanced Matte 13" x 19".
    There are some errors in the Constraints & device status in the Paper type/quality section of the print settings; one says something like the selected paper type is not available in printer (which is like that because I cant select it because its grayed out) and also it says the paper size selected is too big for the loaded paper, which is says it's 12.94" x 19.01".
    Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
    Thanks!

    I finally figured it out. I did some googling and found that there is a problem with Leopard and how it communicates.
    Taken from HP's pdf:
    "Why is the paper preset that I have just created grayed-out in my Mac driver?
    In Mac OS X v10.5, when you try to select the paper preset that you have just created in your paper type list on the driver, it might be grayed-out. This is a problem of interaction between the color settings and the paper types in this operating system version. Just select Any in the paper type list of the driver, and the printer will work with the paper preset that you have selected in the front panel of your printer. "

  • Troubles printing to a networked HP printer!

    If you can see the networked HP printer but still nothing prints, or if you are thinking about buying an HP printer this weekend - you may be interested in the following HP link which lists the printers that can be successfully networked. I have been racking my brains for weeks to resolve this issue- could save you alot of time!

    OK, I'm back.
    First, the good news.  We've consolidated the offices, and the 8500 in fact does work.
    But.
    The 8600 still doesn't.
    I have tried:
    Rebooting the router and computer.
    Changing the filter multicast value on the router so the filter multicast is now on.
    I re-set the connection to the network.
    I installed the drivers from the CD that came with the printer.
    Several of the folks who have moved to the new site are having trouble with this printer, so it isn't just me.
    To reiterate:  I can see the printer.  I can see it via a web connection.  I can see it via the HP Utility.  I can get the supply levels readout.  I can print diagnostics page from the utility.  But print jobs fail.  A print job connects to the printer, I can see a "low on ink" notificication, the printing supposedly starts, but it hangs at 1% complete.
    I think some of the new folks were having trouble printing from their windows machines, but I'll have to check tomorrow when everything settles down from the move.

  • Trouble printing landscape PDF

    I am having difficulty printing a pdf document that is in a landscape orientation. The first page prints correctly, but subsequent pages either print lower and to the left on the page or they print in a reduced size and to the lower left. I am able to duplicate this issue in both Adobe Acrobat 11.0.05 as well as Adobe Reader. I do not have the issue if I print using Preview on Mac OS X. I am using Acrobat and Reader on Windows 7, 32 bit.

    Some of docs are not created by me but are available as studies on
    websites. On our docs, we import into InDesign. No, it does not print
    correctly if I select landscape rather than auto. And sometimes I select a
    page range to print and the command is ignored and prints the entire doc.

  • I need to print halftones via Windows 7 HP 5000 Universal driver

    Does anyone know how to print halftones through the HP Universal driver on an old HP 5000 laserjet?

    Hi,
    As mentioned above, some organisations/organizations allow user to fill out the forms very easy but many others do not have this facility. In this case, I believe the form won't let you "edit" it, therefore you need to do it by hand, using a typewriter or using a PDF editor. There is a very expensive one and there are some alternatives. Please check this (ignore the expensive one):

    My suggestion: just one form, using a pen may be a lot quicker.
