Undoing the "print as image" setting

Good morning all,
Yesterday I needed to print a document created with Adobe Reader.  The printing was so faint it was barely visible, so I utilized the setting "print as image" in Advanced.
Now, I am unable to print anything:  the paper goes through the printing process without any problem, but the page emerges completely blank.  And now I no longer see the "print as image" option under Advanced...help!!
Thank you so much!!

Hi @Weesap 
I'd be happy to help you with your 7525. I understand you are able to print, but there is no black ink on the page. Please begin with the steps in the following document; Printer Prints a Blank Page or Does Not Print Black or Color Ink for the HP Photosmart 7510 e-All-in... << this applies to the 7525 too.
If you complete all of the steps in the document above and the issue continues, my own personal recommendation, not one of HPs, is to use the solution offered in the following video.  I only suggest doing this if he printer and printhead are out of warranty.  Hot Water Printhead Flush - HP Ink Series Printers with removable Printhead.
I have recommended this solution to others and have seen success, but I can not guarantee this will resolve the issue, it is an end of the line kind of effort. I hope it helps.

flushing it worked, Yeah!!!!!!! thanks for your help.
Although the printer might be out of warranty, if the issue persists, HP may be able to offer you something. Maybe they can offer you a discount on a newer model, or discuss the option of replacing the printhead!  If after all of our efforts the issue remains, I suggest calling HP. If you are in Canada or US call 800 474 6836, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
Thanks for reaching out to the HP Forums. I hope one of my recommendations resolves the issue.

  • Print as Image - Set in Registry?

    We have been resigned for some years to use the "Print as Image" setting in Adobe Reader to assure successful printing. I normally have to instruct all our users how to set this.  Is there a setting in the Windows XP registry that controls the "Print as Image" setting?  I have searched without any success.  It would sure make it a lot easier if I could use a registry edit for my users.

    I have found the solution at this link:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/393479
    We are an automated machine engineering company and we have about 40 mechanical and electrical engineers.  They open and print many PDF manuals and documents from everywhere. I have found that "Print to Image" corrects all of the problems 100% of the time. No need to troubleshoot or figure out what is wrong with a document, it just works.
    Thank you very much for your reply.

  • The only working print-related function in BioBench1.2 on my PC is the "Print Report", all the other "Print" functions gave me "Error, the printer is not set up correctly".

    I used to print all my BioBench data by first exporting them to Excel and then print from there. Recently I need to print some of the screen shots and some data directly from array analysis, but when I click on the "print" buttons, the "Error, the printer is not set up correctly" message occurs. The only thing I can print from BB without this error is the report printing function. I have a postcript printer and I have set the postscript option to be "true"... Thanks !

    This problem is a result of a limitation in Windows 9x regarding the size of an image that you can send to the printer. The problem does not occur on Windows 2000/NT. This problem appeared with the increased color options of LabVIEW 6.0 on which the BB1.2 is based.Although it is not immediately obvious, your video driver and settings play a role in printing.
    1. Try adjusting the color palette your driver uses (i.e., 256 color, high olor, true color). The error may occur only in one of these modes. Also, change the resolution (number of pixels) to represent the Screen Area; e.g., change from a 1024 x 768 display to an 800 x 600 pixel display.
    2.Certain video drivers also support "acceleration" modes. Using a non-accelerated mode often eliminates the error. For
    Windows 95/98, right-click on your My Computer icon and select "Properties" from the pop-up
    menu. On the Performance tab, click the Graphics button and change the Hardware Acceleration (e.g., if it is set to "Full", lower the setting a notch or two); for Windows 2000/NT, right-click on your Desktop and select "Properties" from the pop-up menu. On the Settings tab, click the Advanced button and go to
    Troubleshooting.
    3.In Windows, the standard VGA driver provided by the operating system is very stable. Try using this driver in place of the specific one written for your video hardware. If the error is eliminated, there is likely a problem with your vendor-provided video driver.
    4.These errors are most often fixed with the latest
    video/printer driver. Be sure to contact your hardware manufacturer and install the latest driver. An easy way to determine if your error is "driver-related" is to move your code to another machine (and hopefully a different set of drivers) and see if th
    e error persists. If the problem is printer related, try another printer.
    5.Make sure there are at least 100M avalible space in your C: drive. If not, set the virtual memory to the other drive which has larger available space.

    Hello there, you can start with this
    Check Firefox page settings
    If a web page prints incorrectly in Firefox:
    At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button, go over to the Print... menu (on Windows XP, click on the File menu) and select Print Preview. The print preview window will appear.
    In the print preview window, make sure Scale is set to Shrink To Fit.
    Make sure the Portrait orientation is set.
    Click Page Setup.... The Page Setup window will appear.
    In the Page Setup window, click the Margins & Header/Footer tab.
    In the Margins section, make sure the page margins are set correctly (the default setting is 12.7 mm, or 0.5 in).
    Click OK to close the Page Setup window and return to the Print Preview window.
    Back in the Print Preview window, click Print. The Print window will appear.
    Make sure the correct printer is shown in the Name field.
    Make sure the Print to file setting is not selected.
    If you made changes, go ahead and attempt to print the page again. If not, follow the instructions below.

  • Can you print from an iPad 2 using 3G in a home with no computer or wifi by using an iPhone 5 hot spot connection if the printer has been set up in another place with live wifi? I know this question is loaded but my dad lives in a rural area

    Can you print from an iPad 2 using 3G in a home with no other computer or wifi by using an iPhone 5 hot spot connection if the printer has been set up in another place with live wifi? I know this question is loaded but my dad lives in a rural area and is wanting a printer to use occasionally. He doesn't want to deal with a computer and I keep his iPad updated for him at my home.  Please shed some light on this for us PLEASE. Thanks

    In that case, it should be possible. I haven't tried this directly, but I believe it should work.
    You'll need to get an actual AirPrint compatible Printer.
    Check here for a list of Printers you can choose from.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    Once you have the compatible printer, using the Hotspot feature from the iPhone he'll have to create the Wifi bubble form the iPhone, and connect the Printer to that Wifi network.
    Then connect the iPad to that same Wifi network provided by the iPhone. When all that is done, the printer should appear in any of the Apps that can Print under the Action Arrow button.
    For instance in email, pressing the action arrow should show a Print option. In there the printer should appear.
    Alternatively you can simply buy a wireless router and setup the network through there even if there is no internet attached.  Connect the wireless printer to the router network, and connect the iPad or iPhone to that same wifi network to print.

  • Print from Windows desktop via network, when the printer was first set up on a Mac

    My new printer works fine from my Mac mini. It is set up on my local network through a BT hub router, wirelessly, Bonjour enabled.When I try to set it up in addition to work from a Windows 8.1 desktop, the printer is recognised and the print-job goes to the print queue but then vanishes from the queue without any printing having started.I have tried using Wireless Direct for the Windows computer but it doesn't seem to help.I will now uninstall and re-install the Officejet on the 8.1 using the disc and see if that helps.I understand (is this right?) that enabling printer sharing doesn't help, as there are two different OS (Mac and MS).Any help would be very welcome.I had before another HP printer (Photosmart B110a) for the windows 8.1 (and on the Mac) and it never seemed properly installed on the Windows computer either. But it did print (but not scan etc.)

  • My hp deskjet 9362c will not print in black and white/error message says the printer mode is set at

    can not get my hp deskjet 932c to print in black and white.  error message states print mode in auto, but I can't find the print mode to correct.  printer was printing in black and white or color automatically til last night, then in middle of document quit altogether.  new cartridges get the same results.

    Check the paper type settings.  If this is set to "automatic" and the paper type is detected as photo paper then black only print is not available.  (The black pigmented ink is not compatible with photo paper.)  What is your operating system?

    Re: Photoshop CS6 on Win 7x64 prints only letter size on Workcentre 7655
    03-20-2013 12:28 PM
    We have a Xerox WorkCentre 7435 PCL6, and I have been having a similar problem. I found a workaround in Photoshop CS5, which I will describe in case it is helpful to others. I just upgraded to Photoshop CS6 however, and the workaround no longer works with it. Instead I get an error message if I print a Job History Report. The message is partially cut off at the right margin of the page, but the part I can read says, "Completed with error(016-799): Print Instructi...on Fail detected in Decomposer." (The ellipsis indicates the part of the message that is cut off. What follows it appears on the next line down. I downloaded all updates to CS6 to see if that would help, but it did not.
    Here is the workaround that worked for me on CS5:
    1) Click on "Print Settings" in the Print dialog
    2) On the pulldown Paper menu, select "Advanced Paper Selection"
    3) Select the tray where your tabloid (or legal) sized paper is loaded
    4) Click on the button at the right end of the "Paper Size" field to display the Paper Size dialog.
    5) Click on the down arrow button at the right end of the "Original Document Size" field and select "Tabloid" (or "Legal") from the menu.
    6) Click OK to close each of the open dialogs til you get back to the Print dialog and then print your document. The print preview should update to show you a preview reflecting the selected paper size. (This may take a few seconds to happen.)
    This worked for me in CS5. Unfortunately, as noted above, it does not seem to work in CS6. The only workaround I can come up with for CS6 is to save the file as a PDF and then print it from Acrobat. This works without a problem, but it's a lot of trouble to go to every time I have to print something other than letter size.
    If anyone finds a better workaround in CS6, please let me know.

  • I cannot print wirelessly to Canon PIXMA 560 using Airport Extreme and Vista PC.  Printer worked fine with Netgear previously.  With USB from printer direct to Laptop it will print.  The printer is definitely set up correctly to acknowledge the router.  W

    When I connect the printer to the Airport via USB and run Bonjour, it recognizes that I have a Canon printer but does not have the mp560 as one of the choices.
    I spoke with Apple support but they could not help...they said they thought it was a Windows issue and that it had something to do with one of the ports needing to get "unstuck" or something like that...this is really annoying because while the Airport is so much better than the Netgear it defeats the purpose of having the wireless printer, which worked so well previously.
    Can anyone offer advice?  Thanks.

    Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations. In addition, the  AirPort's USB port does not support the "advanced" printer functions, like scanning, copying or faxing, of multi-function printers. 
    To see if your printer is compatible, take a look at thisiFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility link. If your printer isn't listed, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try.
    Also you can try this Apple Tech Support article to see if it will help: Printer troubleshooting for AirPort Base Stations and Time Capsule
    Finally, check out this IBM support article to see if your printer is listed as having a Postscript or PCL3 interface. If it does, then it will most likely work with the AirPort's USB port. Printers that use the "HP LIDIL" interface must be connected to a computer directly and will not work.

  • How to Set up Print As Image Registry Default.

    This is a response to the archived post at:
    martin hrubes, "How to customize printing by registry - print as image" #, 6 Nov 2007 2:28 am
    I was trying to find out how to set the "Print As Image" advanced setting to be enabled by default. Here is what I discovered through trial and error.
    1. The setting is stored per user and per printer. (i.e. it has to be set for each printer for each user.)
    2. The registry setting is stored in the following key:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\8.0\General\cPrintAsImage]
    3. In this key, each printer has a separate binary value named s0, s1, s2, etc. The number increments by 1 for each printer added. If you open the value data, you will see it contains the name of the printer encoded in hex. (ex. hex coded for \\Server\Printer1)
    My recomendation is to open a pdf file in reader, go to File -> Print ->Select Desired Printer -> Click "Advanced" Options -> Enable "Print As Image" -> Click OK - Click OK again. Repeat for each printer you want to
    change.
    **NOTE** If you don't click OK both times (i.e. cancel the print dialog), the change will not be saved. You have to actually print something to the printer. If you don't want to print something, make sure the printer is offline or not accessible (unplug the network, usb, parallel, serial cable) first. Once the printer has been changed, it will keep the setting until to you change it.
    After you have set-up all of the desired printers, open RegEdit and navigate to the above key. Right click on it, and export it. Note the file name and location you are saving to. Close RegEdit. "Edit" (Right Click) the file just exported ("Opening" the file will just import it back into the registry.). Once opened, highlight and copy the registry key and all of the registry values. Paste the key and values at the end of the file. In one of the keys change "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\" to "HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\". Save and exit the file.
    When imported this file will enable the "Print As Image" setting for the currently logged in user plus add the setting to the default users profile so any new users to the machine will have it enabled by default also. However, it will not add it to any other user profiles that already exist on the computer. To do this, either use a login script for domain computers or add the reg file to the "All Users Startup" folder.
    It would be nice to have a setting in the deployment custimazation wizard to handle this, but for now we're stuck with enabling it the hard way.

    Yes Spyla, please see this link http://www.404techsupport.com/2008/09/09/make-adobe-reader-and-adobe-acrobat-use-print-as- image-setting-by-default-2/comment-page-1/#comment-3112.
    Allan, many thanks for your post, it certainly helped point me in the right direction.  what I found though is that you do not need to tick the print as image box at any point during the setting up of this.  All you need to do is add the registry key for whichever version of Adobe you are using for this to work.  So basically. what you are saying for each instance of Adobe is regardless of whether or not the print as image is selected, the registry key is saying always print as image for the printer as specified by the hex code. I have found that for network printers, you have to include the full path i.e. \\<servername>\<printername> e.g \\testserver\printer1 and convert all of that to hex. With later versions (9 up over), they have allowed for the string name of the printer so that it is just plain text which also makes life easier.
    What I do is apply this registry entry via Group Policy on a per room basis so that we only ever need to add one printer to the list.  you could do this globally by adding all printers sequentially using s0, s1, s2 or t0, t1, t2 etc depending on which version you are using.  The screenshot shows the registry key for 1 printer for Adobe Reader 8.
    The value data is the binary code for the actual full printer name
    This works a treat.
    Hope this helps
    Thanks

  • How do I set the print and paper size in iPhoto 5

    Can somebody please help. How do you set up iPhoto 5 so that you define both the the size of the print and the photo paper you use?
    For example, I wish to print a 4.5cm x 3.5 cm photo on 6x4 (or 15cm x 10cm to keep all the units the same) paper.
    I've seen a post saying how to do it in iPhoto 8, but the drop-downs are different.

    I do not remember the locations in iPhoto 5 but there are probably three places to mess with
    1 - set the paper size
    2 - set the print size
    3 - set the paper tray for the printer to use that has the paper size that you set in step 1
    these may be in the print sequence or under the file menu as page set up (or similar). If these are not obvious try the Help menu
