Unwanted italics when printing

I'm using CS2 in Leopard on an iMac, and printing with a LaserJet P2015. My document uses Times New Roman regular as body text, but prints as italics. My paragraph styles and character styles are all set to regular. It does it as a indd file and also in Inbooklet SE.
My Epson C83 did not do this even after I updated to Leopard.
How do I fix this/work around?

Enable download PPD fonts in the print options.

Acrobat 9.4.6 Pro loses italics when printing

Yesterday (9-15-11) I updated Acrobat 9 Pro to version 9.4.6. (The previous version was probably 9.4.5, but I am not sure.) PDFs generated before and after the update that use purchased fonts (Minion, Avenir) no longer print those fonts in italics. Any italicized passages print as unformatted. Before the update there were no problems with printing in italics. The PDFs display the text correctly on the screen. Only when printing does the text become un-italicized.
I installed Adobe Reader 10.1.1. Same result as 9.4.6.
Sending to a different brand printer has the same result.
No problems printing from the word processor (OpenOffice 3.3.0).
Printing from the PDF to a new PDF has the same result. Text is correct on screen but not on paper.
Generating a PDF on this computer and then printing it from a different computer running Reader 10.1.0 has no problems.
What happened? What can I do to fix it. If there is no fix, is it possible to roll back to the previous version?

Engravers Gothic Italic + also Bold no longer prints out
I use Adobe Pro 9, Word (Office 2003 - SP3) and Windows XP Pro (SP3) and all have been updated in the last 2 weeks. (Updated to Adobe 9.4.6)
Over the years, will all the same software as above, I have used Engraver’s Gothic BT (True Type) font, and especially the italic and bold version of it, in my Company letterheads and logo.
Now, when printing out an old .pdf letterhead document, I find that the Engraver’s Gothic Italic Bold font has been substituted by an odd-looking/unrecognisable font that is not in my Windows font directory, and the normal italic (i.e. not bold) has been straightened back upright.
(It does not look like a different font, but as if the software has straightened out only part of the font, leaving a “bold” shadow italic version in the background).
The old .pdf letterheads look as they always did on the screen, but when they are printed out, something has substituted the unusual Engraver’s Gothic italic font for the unrecognisable one.
A new Word document, converted to .pdf, similarly shows my “usual” Engraver’s Gothic Italic style and font and both look entirely “normal” on the screen, but when printed out as a .pdf, the font is again substituted/replaced by the above unrecognisable font.
(Word still prints out the italic and bold version without problem).
The normal version of Engravers Gothic is not affected in Adobe – only the italic version is substituted – the normal italic is straightened back up and the bold italic is the odd, shadow version.
I have an old laptop that has not been updated in the last 2 weeks and that prints out .pdf’s with the italic version without any problem i.e. it seems that a software update in the last 2 weeks has affected this italic font.
Removing, re-booting, then re-installing the font makes no difference and it is also the same whichever printer I use.
How do I get Adobe to go back and recognise and print out Engraver’s Gothic Italic Bold, as it has done, with hundreds of documents, over the last years?

Unwanted noise when printing in laser jet 1018

I've been using laser jet 1018 for many years and all of a sudden it starts screech when printing. What can I do to stop this?
If there is nothing to do but buying a new printer which other printer uses the same same toner cartridge?

Hello magistern,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
The noise that you are experiencing could be cause by many different scenarios. The basis troubleshooting would include making sure the printer power cable is connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Taking a light weight lubricating oil and applying very little to the gears.
I realize that you have had this printer for some time. If you would like to see about some out of warranty options, I suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.

Acrobat 9.5 Pro loses italics when printing

So, a little less than a month ago I spent a couple of weeks tracking down a patch to print italics correctly out of Adobe Pro 9.4.6 (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/922/cpsid_92216.html). Well we're all on 9.5.0 now and it is doing it again. Could someone please send me a link to a patch to fix it again for 9.5.0 (nikki @ gdaengineers.com? Is there a reason this patch isn't just automatically part of the update every time?
Thank You!
Nikki

Windows 7, Canon iR-ADV C5030/5035 UFRII. The document prints fine straight out of InDesign CS5.5, but doesn't when saved and/or exported to a PDF. I don't see a spot to attach a document, but like I said, same exact problem it was having when the patch came out for 9.4.6.
Thanks!

Unwanted margins when printing images

All,
I have an application that loads images from a chosen directory and loads them into tabs. I then have print options. All is fine printing however there is a 1" border around the image. This seems to squish the image smaller which results in more difficulty reading.
I have aquired a PrintImage class for GIF's somewhere from the Sun site and modified it to also accept JPG and PNG. Can anyone give an idea on how set the margin attributes from this code?
public class PrintImage {
    public void PrintImage(String path, String type) {
        /* Use the pre-defined flavor for a GIF from an InputStream */
        DocFlavor flavor = null;
        if (type.equals("gif")) {
            flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.GIF;
        } else if (type.equals("jpg") || type.equals("jpeg")) {
            flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.JPEG;
        } else if (type.equals("png")) {
            flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.PNG;
        /* Create a set which specifies how the job is to be printed */
        PrintRequestAttributeSet aset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
        aset.add(MediaSizeName.NA_LETTER);
        aset.add(new Copies(1));
        /* Locate print services which can print a GIF in the manner specified */
        PrintService[] pservices =
                PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(flavor, aset);
        if (pservices.length > 0) {
            /* Create a Print Job */
            DocPrintJob printJob = pservices[0].createPrintJob();
            /* Create a Doc implementation to pass the print data */
            Doc doc = new InputStreamDoc(path, flavor);
            /* Print the doc as specified */
            try {
                printJob.print(doc, aset);
            } catch (PrintException e) {
                System.err.println(e);
        } else {
            Component frame = null;
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(frame,
            "No suitable printers.",
            "Print error",
            JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
    public static void main(String args[]) {
class InputStreamDoc implements Doc {
    private String filename;
    private DocFlavor docFlavor;
    private InputStream stream;
    public InputStreamDoc(String name, DocFlavor flavor) {
        filename = name;
        docFlavor = flavor;
    public DocFlavor getDocFlavor() {
        return docFlavor;
    /* No attributes attached to this Doc - mainly useful for MultiDoc */
    public DocAttributeSet getAttributes() {
        return null;
        /* Since the data is to be supplied as an InputStream delegate to
         * getStreamForBytes().
    public Object getPrintData() throws IOException {
        return getStreamForBytes();
    /* Not possible to return a GIF as text */
    public Reader getReaderForText()
    throws UnsupportedEncodingException, IOException {
        return null;
        /* Return the print data as an InputStream.
         * Always return the same instance.
    public InputStream getStreamForBytes() throws IOException {
        synchronized(this) {
            if (stream == null) {
                stream = new FileInputStream(filename);
            return stream;
}

To set a custom margin, you need to create a custom paper size. To do this, go into Page Setup, and under Paper Size choose Manage Custom Sizes. In the new dialog, click the plus sign at the bottom left to create a new size. Set the paper size to whatever you want (it should be 8.5X11" for letter, of course), and then set the margins to the size you need. Once you click the OK button, this paper size will now be available to choose in the Page Setup dialog.

MX920 prints in italics when it shouldn't

I have a MX920. My computer uses Windows 7. Occassioally, and seemingly at random, a document will print with a complete line in italics, when it is not italicized in the program (Word, for example). Thsi has happened in Word and in pdf files. Even stranger, the italics is just for a complete line; the line before and the line after is normal. And still stranger is that ocassionally it prints with italics slanted to the left (not to the right). Has anyone seen this? I susepct it is a printer issue since it happens in Word and Acrobat Reader.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi DestinLeB,
Although the problem seems to occur sporadically, performing a print head alignment on the printer may resolve the issue. To do this, please follow the steps located at the link below:

Unwanted printing of advanced payment when printing a sales order or pick

It will be great to have an option of disabling the automatic printing of the advanced payment incoming payment when printing a sales order or invoice.
The option is currently not available on the document printing options.

No print sequence for sales order is setup.
But even before on 2007 version, it was SAP default to print always the incoming payment of an advanced payment on every sales order or invoice.

PhotoShop CS2 "Program Error" when printing

I am posting this to the Adobe Forums as well, but thought someone here might have some ideas. am having an intermittent problem printing from PhotoShop CS2 to an Epson 9800. When printing large files (200 MB average) to the Epson, PhotoShop will spool the job, taking about 50% longer than normal, and when complete, displays the following message..."The file XXXX.tif could not be printed because of a program error" No job ever gets to the print que. This happens about 80% of the time when printing. Quitting and restarting PhotoShop generally fixes the problem, and the file can be printed from another computer without issue, so this is not file specific. I have 8GB of RAM installed and PhotoShop running under 100% available memory, cache level at 8, with a dedicated 180GB scratch disk. Memory should NOT be the problem, though I do often have the full layered version of the file open in the background (I am printing from a flattened copy. I have observed that the problem is less likely to occur if no other files are open. I have a second G5 with the exact same software setup (OS, Print Driver and PhotoShop down to the decimal version #) that works perfectly every time. I have run all of the System utilities (Repair Permissions, FSCK, etc), reset the OSX printing system, reset PS preferences, trashed and re installed CS, as well as the Epson printer driver, all with no success. Any other trouble shooting ideas would be greatly appreciated. I would love to avoid a System reinstall.

See the Adobe Knowledge Base document"Error 'Could not complete your request...' or 'Could not create a new document...' (Photoshop CS2 on Mac OS X v10.4)"
I suggest whenever you have problems with third-party applications, the first place to start troubleshooting is with the application's documentation, then vendor's web site. Usually their sites have FAQs, lists of known bugs, or application-specific forums similar to these Discussions. Sometimes, unlike the Apple Discussions, the questions are even answered by employees of the vendor.

HP LASERJET CP1525nw print error when printing online Gmail emails with Google Chrome

HP LASERJET CP1525nw print error when printing online Gmail emails with Google Chrome. Extra large font sizes and weird formatting issues only when printing emails from Gmail within Chrome. No problems when printing the same email from Gmail+Internet Exolorer or Thunderbird. Using the IE Tab extension in Chrome prints the email correctly but the style of Gmail's message window is completely weird ie: formatting bar is spread out vertically instead of horizontally. I believe it is clear that this is an application specific issue between the HP LASERJET CP1525nw printer and Google Chrome + Gmail. This printing scenario does not occur when printing anything else or when printing via another printer. I would appreciate receiving any suggestions to solve this issue.
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Browser: Google Chrome 15

Hi AbZu,
You need to contact Google Chromes technical support as this is only an issue with Chrome. You have indicated that the printer functions correctly everywhere else. Check out the link below for Google Chrome technical support. Let me know if you need additional assistance?

Error message or program crashing when printing on Epson printer

In July 2008, I upgraded my computer from a MacBook to a MacBook Pro (and bought a Time Machine so that all my files are backed up regularly!) I then bought my wife a MacBook Pro in November 2008. We both used to have iBook G4s.
We have an Epson EPL-6200 Laser Printer that we print from using our Airport Express. It used to work fine printing documents from any program and printing wirelessly from the iBook G4 computers we had when we bought the printer around three years ago.
But since I have switched to a MacBook and now a MacBook Pro, I have all kinds of problems printing on the Epson EPL-6200 printer. At first, my MacBook did not print remotely at all. I had long conversations with both Apple and Epson, knowing there was a problem with the Epson driver. To top it off, the problems seemed worst with Microsoft Office, so both of them also said it was Microsoft's fault!
Now that Epson has upgraded its drivers and I have dowloaded the latest one, and switched to a MacBook Pro, I can print some files easily -- Word documents now print immediately, although I get an error message saying that the printer is not connected. But trying to print from other programs such as Firefox either takes a very long time (around 5-8 minutes for one page) or causes the program to crash.
Any ideas? The strange thing is that my wife's computer and mine are exactly the same (running Mac OS X version 10.5.6) but behave slightly differently when printing. I can print from Firefox, albeit after a long time per page, whereas if she tries to print from her computer in that program it instantly crashes.
I guess we still have driver issues with the Epson EPL-6200.
But I have looked on the Apple support forums and there seem to be a lot of printer-related issues like this. Do you guys have any suggestions? Or is there a printer that will work well with our MacBook Pros, an Airport Express and/or Time Machine (we have both) and when printing remotely?
All the best,
Alex

hey,
well, i use the below machines with the current mac os (10.5.6).
i (kind of often) had issues with the network printer epson epl-6200.
of which every issue could be resolved by myself, more or less quickly.
i.e. until the last update (10.5.6).
none of my machines is able to get anything through the network to the printer.
at least they don't get the printer to print a page.
today i spent (almost) the whole day, trying out things to get it fixed this time.
none of it worked.
just to let you know:
i can access the printer through its http-interface.
i can ping it.
it gets recognized by the printer/fax-dialog in the system-preferences.
here's what i tried so far:
i tried to install the osx driver for the epl-6200 with every single protocol that's available in osx (i.e.: Appletalk, IPP, Bonjour, EPSON (IP), etc.)
i of course tried to update the driver with the latest software available on the epson-website. and did the thing with the different protocols again.
i tried the "generic" postscript driver of osx, too.
then it was getting interesting:
i tried to get "cups" for the epl-6200. i don't want to get into details here, but to drop some names:
foomatic-rip (combined with ghostscript)
http://linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/foomatic
gutenprint (doesn't have an epl-6200 driver included)
pxlmono (doesn't have an epl-6200 driver included)
to sum that up:
there are two drivers on the "openprinting"-site (foomatic). but one is (of course) the official epson driver.
but:
there is a "third-party" driver downloadable on that website.
http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Epson-EPL-6200
well, i downloaded it, installed the required additional software (foomatic + ghostscript), all very fine. i could choose it in the osx printer setup menu.
but:
my printer still won't print a single page.
the error messages i got:
other than the above post none of my programs ever crashed, or was "dead slow".
but:
the printing job got constantly stopped, i could restart it, but it was then stopped again. without any error message.
there was the same thing with the halt of the printer (also monitored in the printing cue window). i could restart it, but it would stop again. without any error message.
but i also got two decent error messages: :))
the first involved the pdftoescpage.app, either it was failing (shown in the printer cue window), or it was crashing (i got the error message in a separate window popping up). according to folks on the net this malfunction involved user permissions, so i to set up the "right" permissions (giving everybody the right to do anything (rwx) - i know i shouldn't have :)) ). but it didn't help. still crashing or failing.
the second decent error message, finally:
"double free" - what that meant, i cannot tell.
conclusion:
i don't know. :))
required action:
i will await the next osx update, and hope it'll be fixed then. :))
good night, y'all
p.s.: ahh, if anybody knows anything i didn't and should try. please drop a line. thx

Print to PDF - using Snow Leopard (Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose

i have a PDF form that i created that is used as a custom proposal that my company sends out to potential clients. the form in its editable state is only used internally. we recently upgraded to snow leopard, but prior to the upgrade, we were able to fill the custom proposal form out using adobe reader, and, as you well know, we weren't able to save that edited document as a PDF with the custom form fields filled out. our work around using adobe reader was to print to a pdf using the adobe pdf printer in the printer dialog. with the addition of snow leopard, however, instead of choosing the adobe pdf printer, we were to choose PDF from the bottom left corner, then Save As PDF, and it would spit out an uneditable pdf that then allowed us to email it to the potential client without them being able to edit it as well as have an internal, digital copy for our records instead of having lots of paper floating around (i know this is also doable using security that disallows the client certain editing privileges, but printing to a pdf is much quicker and more efficient, and the pdf security isn't really that secure at its best).
in any case, i came across this gem of a post here on the support forums that installs another option from the PDF drop down on the bottom left of the print dialog menu that reads Save As Adobe PDF and is supposed to do exactly what i am trying to get it to do...print to a pdf file from adobe reader.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50981.html
once i updated to acrobat 9.2 (as the link above suggests 9.1), however, the Save As Adobe PDF does appear in the print dialog menu, but it still gives me the same error that acrobat 8 - 9 gave me while using Snow Leopard — Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save — and as i've already explained, you can't save an edited pdf form in reader (as i am the only one in the office with acrobat) and still keep the fields as you've entered them in. the only work around is to print to a pdf but is apparently having some recent problems.
using acrobat, however, i know that i can save the editable pdf as a new file with the fields customized as i have left them, but it still saves it as an editable pdf and the print to a pdf option still remains the best option...that way we have digital copies internally that are uneditable that can be printed at any time or emailed to the client.
how can i do print to a pdf, based on what i've written above, using snow leopard and acrobat and reader?

A simple way is to flatten the form fields, which converts the field appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with JavaScript or PDF Optimizer (Advanced > PDF Optimizer > Discard Objects > Flatten form fields). A very nice script that adds a custom menu item can be found here: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

Text Size When Printing Comments Different Than On-Screen

Hello. We are supporting an end-user with an unusual problem. They are able to make sticky comments fine and adjust the font size on screen. However, when this user goes to print either to a physical printer or a PDF, the font size of the comment is different (smaller) than what is shown on screen.
On-Screen Example:
Print To PDF Example:
Is there an option to match the text size of the printed version to that of the on-screen? Even if the printed text size can be bumped up just a bit, it'd be greatly appreciated. The font size when commenting on-screen is 18 Arial but it seems like the printed version is more like 10 Ariel.
Thank you.

Just tried the latest version of Adobe Reader and the same issue occurs. Making the on-screen font size 70 in the Commenting Preferences field makes NO CHANGE when printed (comes out at about 10 / 12 point font). Even the Print Preview doesn't show the larger font so there's some setting getting lost when you go to print.
Talking to our client, this problem likely coincides with Adobe updates that were pushed out. This is easily reproducible (anyone with an up-to-date version of Adobe Reader can do this) but doesn't seem to be a fix.
Any help out there?

Search report - error-no data found when printing to csv format

Hi all,
I have a search report,
I have 4 select list and two text field and two date field to search for the result.
I have even put the computation for the select list items in
on load - before header ie setting the items to default value.
Still when i try to print it in the csv format , and try to open the excel, it is saying "no data found" error
Please, Could any one give me a solution to solve this bug?
Note: Ordinary report is getting printted in the csv format.
Thanks in advance
bye
Srikavi

Hi Denes and Scott,
sorry, only when i select the values for all the 4 select list
csv is working. default values are not restored in the session.
How to restore the values in the session state after pressing the search button.
i have set the default values for the select list and the query is working fine
but when i see the session from the toolbar the default values are not present.
but when i see the debug from the toolbar the values are set properly.
@Denes
In your example the session is showing the values of the select list and check box
The same way i did, but in "session" values are not seen so again no data found is seen when printing csv .
Bye
