Try to print from windows to a special printer needs to read text

dear sir or madam,
I am trying to print a pdf file with greek text in it to a printer that needs to read the text and process it at some other task.
I can print from any Windows program to that special printer and if I have a document with images and text, the images are striped down and the text is shown to the output file.
When I try to print a pdf file all the text is shown as images. I can copy and paste the text with no problem why it is not printed as text???
I try to do this with the command line. Is there are other switches I could try?

1: I am sorry about the inconvinience. 
The reason you find a check mark on a printer icon is to indicate that its a default printer. If the fax icon has a check mark, everytime you print a fax template will come up. 
SOlution: Just right click on the other icon and select it as the default printer.
2: Black lines while printing photos.

  • 7.3.1 firmware interferes with printing from Windows XP to USB printer

    I have a home network consisting of an Airport Extreme, a Windows XP desktop, and a Macbook Pro laptop. After upgrading the firmware of the Airport Extreme to 7.3.1, I can no longer print to my Airport Extreme USB connected printer from my Windows XP desktop. I can print fine from my Macbook Pro, but when I try to print from the Windows machine, the internet becomes unavailable to the Windows machine until the print job is canceled, and the print job never completes. The problem does not occur from my Macbook Pro, and rolling back to 7.2.1 cures the problem.
    Ideas? Anyone else find similar problems with 7.3.1?
    Dallas

    You might like to try with changing the port number. After I upgraded to 7.3.1, printing from both our XP and Ubuntu desktops stopped working. I discovered that the port number had to be set to 9102 instead of 9101 that we used earlier.

  • Can't Print from Windows Vista Notebook to Printer installed in Mac Mini

    I have a home network that is connected to the internet by DSL. My Printer Xerox Phaser 3115 is installed to the Mac Mini.
    From my Vista Notebook, I can see the printer shared by my Macmini. However, I can't print coz the printer says "access denied". I installed this Bonjour for Windows in order to print but it says "No Bonjour Printers are available".
    Please help me! Thanks!

    On Windows, after either method of setup, change the driver (on PC) to Apple Color LaserWriter. Apple print queues expect postscript as input.
    If this is unsatisfactory, you can create a RAW queue on the Mac (only for sharing the printer, because it will have no driver associated):

  • R-Click print from Windows Explorer doesn't print actual document size.

    We publish AutoCAD drawings to PDF routinely.  They are setup in 11x17 landscape format.  They are published (AutoCAD's way of printing multiple at once) to PDF in 11x17 landscape format.  When you open the file with Reader they are in 11x17 landscape format.  You can manually print them after opening from adobe reader in in 11x17 landscape format.  But, when you are in Windows Explorer, right click these PDF file(s) then click print, they are printed in 8.5x11 landscape format.
    How can we get these to print in the documents actual format?  We want to be able to R-Click the file(s) and print them from Windows Explorer without having to open Reader.

    Does anyone know how they can help me?  We could really use this.

  • Help Printing from Windows 7 to shared printer on Tiger/Mac Mini

    UGH! My folks have long been running on a Power PC Mac Mini with Tiger. The Mac has an Epson Stylus CX4200 - works great in this configuration. Unfortunately, we have a need to implement a laptop with Windows 7 running. I'd like to print to the Mac's locally-attached printer from the wirelessly-connected laptop.
    Anyone know how to configure windows 7 to print to the shared printer attached to the Mac? Any help, greatly appreciated.
    - Brad

    Hello Brad,
    If you download and install Bonjour for Windows onto the Windows 7 laptop, this will assist you with finding the printer being shared by the Mac.
    Note that the web page does not mention Win7 support, but since Vista is supported there should not be an issue.
    I also cannot ever remember using it when I had Tiger on a Mac, so not 100% of it functioning correctly (certainly works when printer is shared by 10.5 and 10.6).
    In case it doesn't work, you could manually add the printer queue on Win7. The connection used by Bonjour for Windows is IPP and you will need to know the IP address or name of the Mac sharing the printer. You will also need to know the name set for the Epson, which can be found via the Print & Fax pane.
    The network queue name on the Win 7 laptop needs to be;
    http://maccomputer_name.local:631/printers/PrinterName
    or
    http://IPaddress_of_mac:631/printers/PrinterName
    Then for the Printer Manufacturer and Model you can select the HP Color Laserjet 4550 PS. Don't worry about selecting a PostScript (ie PS) driver. Even though your printer probably does not support PostScript, the Mac will convert the incoming PS spool file into the appropriate format used by the Epson.

  • Why do I get a Fax prompt window when I try to print from Windows Photo Gallery?

    Trying to print photos from Windows Photo Gallery.  Print job looks as if it goes to the queue, but does not actually print.  Fax prompt window pops up as if I were preparing to fax.  Do I now have to disable the fax in order to print photos?  I take phone calls and faxes on the same phone line.

  • Error -  Printing from Windows Vista to OS 10.5.3

    I have an HP Photosmart C3100 printer connected to my iMac by USB, and shared over a wireless network. I have no problems printing from my MacBook to this printer, but when I try to print from a Dell XPS with Windows Vista installed, I receive an error that it was unable to connect to the printer because access was denied.
    When I first set up this shared printer on the XPS, I printed a page off the internet to test and it printed fine. Then I restarted the XPS and I can no longer print.

    My printer is connected to my Desktop(Windows Vista) via USB and I want to share it to My Macbook(Mac OSX Lion) so that I can print documents wirelessly through my Macbook.

  • Can't print from Windows Explorer

    After installing the "HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Printer - N911a", on a Windows 7 64-bit PC, that is Ethernet connected, I get the following error message:
    Script Error
    An error has occurred in the script on this page.
    Line: 2061
    Char: 1
    Error: Invalid procedure call or argument
    Code: 0
    URL: res://ieframe.dll/preview.js
    When I try to print from Windows Explorer; however, I can print from other applications such as Word and Quicken OK, and I can print from Explorer OK from a Windows XP PC. Anyone have any suggestions?

    The issue is caused when Windows creates the printer profile in the control panel that it doesn't correctly create it with the drivers.
    We're not going to completely uninstall all the HP software, instead we're going to remove the corrupt Windows printer profile and reinstall it.  Total time for this on an average computer is about 5-10 minutes to completely repair (including reboot).
    1) Navigate to Start Menu > Devices and Printers or Start Menu > Control Panel > Printers
    2) Select each printer profile for the printer with an issue, then select remove device/printer.
    3) Reboot
    4) Navigate to Start Menu > All Programs > HP > insert model # here > Add Printer (or Setup Wizard)
    5) Follow the setup prompts to reinstall the printer profile and it recreates the Windows printer.
    6) Test by printing google.com (uses very little ink when the test page comes out).
    Let me know if you have any questions or issues.
    Thanks,
    Dan

  • Print from Windows Explorer Right Click (Adobe Reader X, WinXP)

    When I right click on a batch of PDF files in Windows Exploer (WinXP) and click "Print" Reader used to print them all to

    I am also getting exactly the same problem, highlighting multiple pdf files right clicking and choosing "print" prints the first document, fails to close the adobe x window and sits there patiently untill it's manualy closed and then the next document prints  - repeat - loop.
    Have this happening on just about every windows xp machine in the office that I try it on and any and all versions of "Adobe X" that I care to install.
    would love a fix for this, reinstalling 9 manually on every PC would waste a day of my life.

    Hi,
    I think you need to remove the queue. Please try:
        hold down the Windows key and press R.
        from the Run window, type services.msc and hit enter.
        if the machine asks for Admin you have to accept this,
        look down to the print spooler service, right click it and select properties
        click on the Stop button,
        browse to C:\Windows\System32\Spool\printers
        delete the job inside this folder
        reboot the machine

  • Cannot print from Windows XP in Boot Camp

    I rarely boot into Windows using Boot Camp. Usually will use Windows as a VM with VMware Fusion.
    Now I am unable to print when in Windows/Boot Camp!
    Yes, I can print just fine in Mac & in Windows as a VM.
    My Boot Camp installation of WinXP is the same one I use as a VM.
    I wonder if I changed some printer setting long ago & forgot. I am fairly certain I used to be able to print from Windows/Boot Camp.
    From: Windows XP/Control Panel/Printers & Faxes/My printer/properties/Ports
    The last port/box in the list is checked, “TPVM: ThinPrint Print Port for VM”
    I thought this may be incorrect for when I am in Windows using Boot Camp so tried changing it to LPT1 & then LPT2 & LPT3 & no real help. However, when using
    TPVM: ThinPrint Print Port for VM, When I attempt to print, nothing happens & no print job appears in the print queue. (See what’s printing) If I change the port to LPT1,2 or 3, than the job DOES appear & under status says “error.”
    I think I need to change some setting when I boot into Windows via Boot Camp vs. Start Windows as a VM.
    What is the problem?
    Thanks!

    Thanks but, no help.
    I did set up printer sharing. Even though I only have one computer I still share the printer between the Mac & WIndows on the Mac in both VM & BC.
    On Mac: System Preferences/Print & Fax, I do have the box checked “Share this printer on the network.”   Under Sharing Preferences I have checked; Printer sharing, Scanner sharing & file sharing. Users: Everyone Can Print.
    If I remember correctly, b4 I had set up printer sharing, I was unable to print from Windows as VM. It would send the print job over to the Mac side & would not print. Then I used to go into the sys tray on Windows & change something re the printer (I forget what) but essentially telling Windows to use this printer or activate it. Then when finished -- If I forget to undo that change, it would not print on the Mac side. Setting the printer to share fixed that so, I can easily print Mac or Windows VM.  Again, I very rarely boot into Windows/BC but I would like to be able to print when I do.
    It may be similar to use of the optical drive for DVDs/CDs. If I am in Windows/VM The Drive doesn't work until I go into some menu (Virtual Machine?) & enable the drive & then I must disable it to get it back working for Mac.
    I am going to try DVD & CD sharing & see if that fixes it so I can use the drive in both Mac & Windows VM w/o having to bother to change settings back & forth, Then I will see if doing that somehow breaks the DVD/CD drive for Windows/BC.
    Maybe I need to uncheck printer sharing in order for the printer to once again work on Windows/BC?
    Or maybe since I enabled printer sharing, I must somehow tell my Mac or tell Windows that all 3 can share; Mac, Windows/VM & Windows BC?  I’m sure if I had 3 different computers I would need to somehow tell the system which computers are authorized to use my Network printer. Maybe since Windows BC is never online/running at the same time as the Mac, it was not recognized?

  • Is it possible to print from Windows 8.1 to a printer connected to the USB port on an Airport Express?

    Is it possible to print from Windows 8.1 to a printer connected to the USB port on an Airport Express?
    a) HP printer with USB port only (no ethernet port) connected to Airport Express
    b) No issue printing from Macs
    Tests
    1) Installed Bonjour 2 - does not find printer (now uninstalled)
    2) Bonjour 3 is listed in programs but no way to access
    3) Using TCPIP address (and no Bonjour) gives 'Unsupported Personality' error when printing test page
    Regards
    Richard
    p.s. why are all Windows 8.1 questios n the forum 'Locked' with no reply?

    This is possible, but not with Bonjour or any other fixes.  It is just a printer set up based on the Port name of the Airport, 10.0.1.1.
    I found the answer on YouTube, Title: Windows Printing For Apple AirPort Extreme without Bonjour Wireless wifi.
