When I print PDF files, the text prints correctly but pictures print as a black spot?

I am using an HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909g, CB023A on Windows XP 32-bit.
I have replaced all my ink cartridges, cleaned and aligned printheads, and printed the print quality diagnostic page and it is great.  I have printed documents with pictures in them and they are fine.  I have unistalled and reinstalled all of the printer software and latest updates with no problems during installation.  The print problem remains. As I just had a thought to print the troublesome PDF file from another computer, same printer, it printed perfectly.  I realize this is a software issue on my computer not associated with the printer itself and isolated to PDF files.  I am at a loss of what to look for.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?  Is there a setting in windows or adobe that would cause this kind of printing problem?  Thank you!!

    Did you ever install Acrobat? It is not installed automatically with CS, but requires an extra installation step.

  • Cannot print PDF file on my  HP 1200 Series Laserjet printer.

    I have a Mac computer 27inch which has been working well with my HP 1200 Laserjet printer until about two months ago.  I am wondering if the newest update for my operating system has caused a conflict.   It sits and spends many minutes trying to load the file to the printer,  then just acts like it has already done it and the printer screen shows that is is completed.   My operating system is  OS X 10.9.5  (Maverick) Have not been able to use printer,  I have another printer that is Epson all in one and it works fine, but the ink is expensive compared to the use of my Laserjet printer. 
    Thanks for any help on this.

    I have also seen a error message pop up on my screen saying that someone else on my network is also using my IP address.  I really don't understand what that means.    It occasionally does this and states the ip address number.   I don't know how to search and find another ip address or to change it on my Mac.  We have three computers and several cell phones in the house plus an Ipad and Ipod.  So I guess we have at least 9 connections to the network.   Just don't know how to identify each IP number and who is using what.
    If you have all of your network devices set to DHCP, then your wireless router is responsible for allocating an IP address to each device. If there is one or more devices not set to DHCP, then this is when you can get a message about a device already using the same IP address.
    To check what IP addresses have been allocated to all network devices you can connect to the wireless router web page.  Here there should be a page that displays each device connected to the router and what IP address it is using.

    I have gotten it to print a pdf file finally.   It has been getting slower and slower in printing the files.  Sometimes 10 minutes till it finally prints.  Even for one page.    Other times it
    has not printed at all.  I appreciate your input,  It gives me a few more ideas.  I may need to download an updated Adobe Reader.  I feel like I am getting close.
    If you have been using Acrobat Reader every time this PDF does not print then try opening the PDF in Preview to see if you get the same symptom.
    Also, if you prefer to use Acrobat Reader, from the print dialog you will see an Advanced button next to the printer name. Opening this will show a check button titled "Print as Image". This can help with PDFs that contain layering, in that it will flatten the PDF by converting it to a raster file before sending it to the printer. While this can result in creating a larger spool file that can then result in the transfer from the Mac to the printer taking longer, it often helps with getting some PDF files to print.

  • When displaying a pdf file, the scrollbar in ffx4 never moves

    whenever i open a pdf file in ffx 4, the scrollbar on the side never moves when i scroll down the file. the scrollbar only moves when the cursor is positioned in the scrollbar area and it just jumps to where it must be in the file. however, the scrollbar never works when scrolling. the problem has been persisting since at least ffx4b9 and it really is a surprise that mozilla just can't fix it! tried reinstalling ffx, reinstalling plugin, reinstalling adobe reader, you name it, but it just never works!!!

  • When I print a pdf file, the first page is dramatically  reduced in size while remainder pages print correct size. How do I fix this pro blem?

    recently, when printing pdf files, the first page prints out as 1/10 or 1/20th original size while rest of document prints correctly.
    I have no idea how this happened or why and I have no idea how to fix. I cannot get the first page of any pdf doocument to
    print correctly and thus, I am virtually unable to print pdf files.

    Sometimes if a .pdf is smaller than actual 8 1/2 x 11 or bigger, you'll either get way too much of the image and it's cut off, or the image is too small. You should also try to do this in the print driver window: Properties -> Advanced -> Image Options -> Disable "PostScript pass-through"

  • Intermittent Problem of Corruption when printing PDF files

    From time to time I have a problem with text corruption when printing pdf files. Text comes out one character alphabetically later.
    For example, a file I printed yesterday contained the text "ONE WEEK VISITOR LICENCE". On printing it again today (on the same computer and printer), it appeared as "POF!XFFL!WJTJUPS!MDFODF". But another attempt immediately afterwards was correct.Here is a scan of the correct and incorrect printouts
    I have had this problem intermittently over a couple of years, particularly with pdf files embedded as a frame in a web page.
    I am using Adobe Reader 10.1.0 (but the problem has also appeared on earlier versions), Windows XP SP3 with all updates and an HP Deskjet 6980 printer on a wireless link.
    Any advice would be welcome

    Not sure why this may be happening. But you can try printing the PDFs as an image, which should solve the problem. It may take a little longer to print but at least you will get a correct print.
    You can do the same by Clicking on the Advanced button displayed on the Print dialog and checking the checkbox for "Print as Image".
    Hope that this fixes the issue.

    I have Adobe X on a Windows 7 HP laptop.  I was printing .pdf files for a short while, but now the screen goes black and nothing happens.  I also have tried printing bank statements with the same black screen/no printing results.  Anyone have similar experiences?  Do you know of a fix?

    Adobe X.   Unless you have another idea,  I am going to try the 10.0.2 fix and see if that works.  If not, I may uninstall and try a 9.xxx version.  Thanks.

  • Pale or no print , pdf files

    Hi all,
    I posted this question about 4 months ago but did not get any help.
    When printing pdf files I get very pale or no print at all. Can someone help me PLEASE ?
    I have no problem printing Word documents, only PDF files.
    Over the past months I've Googled the problem and have tried all I can but still no prints.
    I'm using Mac OSX Maverick, Acrobat Reader vers. 11.0.06, HP printer.
    I'd really appreciate your help.

    Hi Pat,
    Thank you for your reply.
    Unfortunately yes, I get a very pale and unreadable print even if I do as you suggested.
    I have also checked to make sure the colors are black on white background.
    This issue is really creating me a lots of problems.  Anytime I get a PDF document I have to
    go back to the sender and ask them to send it again in doc format.
    I'm desperate !

  • MY HP C1025 CANNOT PRINT PDF FILES

     Whenever I print PDF Files, my PC cannot detect the newly installed CP1025 Driver.  BUT  when I print MS word and other MSOffice applications  its ok - it can detect my printer. When I print PDF Files,  it only shows my OLD OLD OLD printer epson  and the WORST is that in the dropdown menu selection - it has nothing except my old printer and it does not have a choice and it cannot detect my CP1025 prnter. An HP forum advised me to click on drop down menu - HE CANNOT  UNDERSTAND that there is NO CHOICE in the dropdown menu only  my OLD printer shows up ( which I deleted almost 8 years ago )  . WHy  the printer cannot be detected in PDF?  -  This is sooooo annoying already. TESSA SHI

    Hi , I read your post and see that you can't print PDF files, the application won't let you select a different printer model. I would like to help you.
    Make sure the Laserjet CP1025nw is set as the default printer in the Devices and Printers window. What application are you using to print the PDF documents? (Adobe, Website-try another browser) Try and print one page from the printer's PDF manual, to see if you have the same results.LASERJET PROFESSIONAL CP1020. Try printing the PDF as an image: Open the original PDF file, if necessary.Click File, and then click Print, or click the Print icon. The Print window opens.Click Advanced. The Advanced Print Setup window opens.Select the Print As Image checkbox, change any other settings as desired, and then click OK.On the Print window, click OK again to begin printing.Run all the Adobe Updates. Product updates. How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless) If you appreciate my efforts, please click the 'Thumbs up' button below. If you have any issues, please let me know what steps you have taken and the results. Thank You.

  • Corrupted text when inserting another PDF file.

    Hi all,
    Currently using Acrobat Pro 11.0.10.
    When inserting a page or multiple pages (all PDF) into an existing PDF file, the text becomes corrupted with the new pages.
    I can edit the text and change it from Arial to another font and back to Arial to restore the text to how it should be, but when doing multiple files every day it becomes very time consuming.
    Below is a shot of what is generated when compiling the files.
    I'm really hoping that someone can help me as this is driving me nuts.
    Thanks in advance,
    Dean.

    Hi Dean O'Neill and Karina Stavenes,
    In order to replicate the issue in-house, we would be needing the files. Could you send the original files as well as the combined files so that we can investigate further? You could compress the files to a zip and upload it to the following link -> Acrobat Issues.
    Also, sending in the exact steps to reproduce the issue would be helpful.
    Thanks.
