What causes printer not to print the black.

My printer will print all colors, excepts the black. It looks gray when printing photo's. I have cleaned the heads and it still does not print correct. What could cause this?

Hi,
Please try the following solution:

How to print Adobe Forms without the black/gray backgrounds in the side columns

How can we print Adobe Forms without the black/gray backgrounds in the side columns? We are wasting a lot of ink printing out these forms and would like to have simply black ilnes to distinguish columns and black lettering, but no background colors. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I am not positive what you are printing from but I am thinking it is from the View Responses tab with a response row selected and then shown in "Detail View" and that the column of field names has a dark grey background...
To change the color of the column headers select the row of headers (do this by clicking on the first dark grey header field and then scroll to the last one and shift+click on the last one), then in the "Text" tools change the text color to Black and the Fill color to white:
(Selected the header cells)
Changed the text/font color to black and the fill color to white
Now you can see the detail view does not have the dark grey.
Thanks,
Josh

I recently replaced my dead airport router with a netgear91-5g router and synced it successfully to my Lexmark Pro 915 printer and my computer and yet when I try to print wirelessly I get the message: "printer not connected; printer offline".

I recently replaced my dead airport router with a Netgear91-5g router and synced it successfully to my Lexmark Pro 915 printer and my computer; yet when I try to print wirelessly I get the message: "printer not connected; printer offline". Lexmark support verified that my printer was connected to the new router and the problem was with the computer's printer configuration and they could reconfigure it online if I paid for their "Premium Support" services ($119 for one year, 3 fixes). I declined, feeling sure that this is something I could do if I knew how. Could it be an incompatability issue with OS 10.8.3?

You saved me $$$ that I can ill afford on my fixed income. I was very unhappy with the "support" from Lexmark... what a rip off! Thank you dwb!

How to tell what methods where not used in the code?

Hi there,
I wonder if there's a way to check what method are not used in the execution code (void main).
Example:
in the code below, the following method where not used:
setAge, getAge, getName,setName, addFeedback
public class Test
     public static void main(String args[])
          Employee empl = new Employee("John", 54);
          System.out.println(empl.getDeatils());
public class Employee
     private int age;
     private String name;
     public Employee(String name, int age)
          this.name=name;
          this.age=age;
     public String getDeatils()
          return name+" ("+age+")";
     public void addFeedback()
          //do something here.
     public int getAge()
          return age;
     public void setAge(int age)
          this.age = age;
     public String getName()
          return name;
     public void setName(String name)
          this.name = name;
}

Sound like you should visit the logging API or you could do SOP all over your code which would make it very unreadableI don't see why logging code will make his code any less messy than SOP everywhere. Unless you're talking about applying logging by AOP, which is equally messy in a different way.I never implied that the one was tidier than the other. O merely recommended my knowledge on how to help the OP and gave 2 choices. Oh right. It looked like you were suggesting SOP was messier somehow. Never mind, then.
Besides is AOP really that bad when using Interceptors? I know that this is new to Java but interceptors are really not that untidy.I didn't say they were untidy. I didn't say there was anything wrong with AOP. But logging by AOP results in pretty useless, messy logs. "This method was called with these parameters" all over the place, rather than something nice and friendly. Remember, logging is more often read by support staff than developers, so while it might be obvious to you what "getLlama(200, 3)" means, it's probably garbage to the support bods.

What causes Firefox not to start and at those times I get this message: Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.

I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. I do not recall the problem occurring when Windows 7 was first released. This has been happening for several months now with all versions of Firefox. 3, 4, and 5. I have searched online for a solution to this problem. I have tried every fix listed here and online that I could find. The problem remains. Does anyone have a fix for this?

The following may not completely eliminate having to terminate Firefox through the Windows Control Panel but it will come very close.
'''Plug-in and tasks started by Firefox may continue after attempting
to close Firefox''' The "X" in the upper right-hand corner closes the
Window (same as Ctrl+Shift+W) but even if it is the last Firefox window,
it does not necessarily close Firefox .
The only '''proper way to exit Firefox''' is to use '''Exit''' through the
File menu, not the "X" in the upper right corner of last Firefox window.
In the Beta that would be Alt+F then X

If Firefox will still not start, remove the parent.lock file from the profile which is created each time Firefox is started to prevent other Firefox tasks from running, see<br>

Printer (not computer printer) for 10,000 piece 8 page brochure??

I have created this brochure in Pages. It is 8 pages 8X10 and I need a commercial printer. Having a little problem with my local printer because he has never worked with Pages and I do not see that as a problem for him in that I am sending him a .pdf file.
Open to all suggestions.
Thanks

I do not see that as a problem for him in that I am sending him a .pdf file.
Well, use of the Portable Document Format in and of itself does not guarantee that the printing master is properly prepared.
For instance, you can have QuickTime movies and hyperlinks in a Portable Document Format pagination, but you definitely don't want to have that in your printing master.
You can have image resolutions that are too low for the intended printing condition, and you can have colour spaces that are incorrect for the intended printing condition.
"All my images are CMYK" - right, but what CMYK? CMYK is just a data format, to be precise, a four component / four channel data format. You may have all images in CMYK, but one image may have been converted for newsprint with a low paper white and a total ink limit of 240%, another may been converted for inkjet with a high paper white and 220% total ink limit, and yet another may have been converted for offset with a high paper white and 340% total ink limit. Further, the colours formed by the colourants in the CMYK images may be very, very different.
In other words, don't place pre-converted CMYK in your pages. Place original colour correct RGB colourants referenced to the physical or virtual device space in which the RGB capture was corrected (e.g. AdobeRGB, EktaSpaceRGB, PhotoGamutRGB etc.). Since a printing system cannot print three component RGB, it has to convert to four component CMYK.
The ICC printer profile for the intended CMYK four component printing condition defines the laydown order of the inks (which may not be CMYK), the total ink limit, the gray balance, the colour detail in shadows, and the colour detail in highlights. This is a very, very nicely engineered file of only 1.5Mb that does all the difference, if you use it right.
And this is where we come to the PDF/X filter in the ColorSync Utility. PDF/X is short for PDF for blind eXchange, that is, PDF/X is a rendering specification that eliminates what you should not have in your printing master, checks that what you do have in your printing master is reasonable, and saves out your printing master with the ICC printer profile of your choice as OutputIntent.
One thing, check that the PDF/X filter is set to 300 dpi, and check that you pick the right ICC profile for OutputIntent. The filter has no way of knowing what printing condition you intend, so ask your printer, and pick a profile for that printing condition from those available at www.eci.org. The reference measurements are on the home page of the International Color Consortium at www.color.org.
If you can't figure it out, post to the Apple ColorSync Users List. This is properly speaking the core community of the International Color Consortium, since the International Color Consortium was first called the ColorSync Consortium, and since the ICC Specification, now ISO 15076, is the file format of Apple ColorSync 2.0.
Hope this helps,

Printer not completing print job

I have a Canon IP3000 connected to the AirPort Extreme via USB. Ever since I had it connected, it was able to print all the pages until it gets to the first page, which it prints half way and then stop. I have no idea why it's doing this. I tried different printing sources (image, web site, etc.) and it's doing the same thing. Help?

Hi , I saw your post regarding the error message that appears when printing with your HP Deskjet 2542.
I would need a little bit more information in order to give you the best steps to follow. What is the exact error message you are receiving? Without that error message, I can suggest trying a free tool called HP Print and Scan Doctor to diagnose and resolve printing problems. I recommend downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor, if it doesn't fix it automatically let me know what errors or messages you receive. You could always try Uninstalling the Printer Software then downloading the newest software package for you printer; Click this link to get the HP Deskjet 2540 All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Drivers. Just note you may not be able to download the software right now. If you click on the link above and you get this pop-up, you may have to try the page again later.
Please let me know if these steps resolved your issue, or the exact error message you are receiving. I look forward to hearing from you! Thanks,

How to reverse print (not duplex print) on Deskjet 6500 E71n?

I am making t-shirt transfers. I need to reverse print, sometimes called mirror print, so that when the design is ironed on to a t-shirt it isn't reversed?

What operating system? For Windows 7 there is a Mirror Image checkbox in the Finishing tab.

When I open bookmarks the actual sites sometime do not show just the black screen with the safari icon while others show the actual site how can I see the actual content

I use Safari Mt Lion and when I view Bookmarks, the entire list of bookmarks show uo but on the display portion only the black screen witht the Safari icon shows while other bookmarks show the actual photo of what that bookmark is so unless I click on the bookmark on the blank ones I can not see what it is, it is inconvient because I have hundreds of bookmarks and I can not remember what I was bookmarking it for unless I can see it

Hi
I understand - sorry to have missed your point before now.
Some sites don't display those previews in safari - secure pages (https) for one, and also sites that are redirected.
Taking the example in your screenshot, the site http://fabulouslyartsy.blogspot.com/ actually redirects to http://www.fabulouslyartsy.com/ and Safari (rather annoyingly) doesn't 'follow' the redirection & show the appropriate preview. See the image below - the blank preview is for the blogspot address, and the one visible to the right is from going directly to the site.

What causes JBO-33001: Cannot find the configuration file /common/bc4j.xcfg

I know that the jbo exception message:
JBO-33001: Cannot find the configuration file /common/bc4j.xcfg
can be caused by several things including the file really not being there. But in my current case, I know it is there and can be found throgh the classpath, because I actually find it using Configuration.buildConfigurationFileNameFromClassPath and
Configuration.getConfiguration just before calling Configuration.createRootApplicationModule. Is there any way to turn on a diagnostic to find out what is really wrong?
I would also like to request an enhancement to give meaningful messages in the jbo exception.
Roger

This is on jdev 903 with patch running a local application attempting to connect to standalone OC4J 903. I think the error occurs before there is ever any attempt to make the connection to OC4J. Having one big catch-all exception for everything that can go wrong in creating the AM is pretty poor. I know in the past I have done manual editing of bc4j.xcfg and XML sentax errors cause exactly the same exception as not having the file at all. That is why I would at least like a list of all the causes behind the exception so I can go through and check them all.
Thanks,
Roger

Deskjet F4480: what causes horizontal gaps when printing from the web?

I just installed a Deskjet F4480 printer. I'm using Windows 7 64-bit. Printing a word-processing document works just fine - no problems. Printing from a web page, however, produces horizontal streaks or gaps in the print. The bottom of some lines is clipped off. How can I correct this?

Hi Michael,
Thanks for the suggestion, I tried USB, Ethernet and FAXing in a document. All three print with the horizontal gaps. The funny thing is that the copy (both color and blk/white) print out just fine. I've run the available maintance functions serveral times, with no improvements. I wound up purchasing another Canon Printer, because of being a need to print bind. But would still like to get this one working, as I was very statisfied with it.
Thanks, Roman...

Latest update causes Brother 5250DN printer not to print on two sides

The latest OS X v10.7 update included an update for my Brother 5250DN printer. Now, it won't print on both sides. After printing on one side, it actually pulls the paper back in, as if it's going to print on the other side, but it comes out blank. It then prints a separate page with the 'other side's' contents. It works fine with my wife's computer, since she hasn't updated the driver yet. Any help with this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul

Have a read of this posting. These Brother users found the same symptom and were able to resolve it.
