Why does black/white print with magenta hue?

When I print black/white greyscale in Adobe Reader or Acrobat, some documents print with ghost text that appears in a light magenta.  This ghost text is staggered to the bottom right of the black text. 
I'm printing from Mac OS X 10.8.4, Adobe Reader 11.0.03 using an HP LaserJet 1525nw. 
The left side of the image is a screen capture from the PDF and printed.  The right side printed directly from the PDF.
Any ideas why this happens?

Sorry - I was able to find out how to do color calibrate.  It is supposed to print a page but never did.  I tried it twice.  Not sure if it actually did anything.  But results are the same with printing.
The printer is very low on the three color cartridges, which I don't use.  It is at normal capacity on black.  Even though I'm selecting to print only black/white in Reader, could the low status on the color cartridges be causes this pink hue?
I did try a pure PDF document (one that isn't a scanned print page).  It printed without issue.  As I mentioned above, there is something about a scanned in printed page, which causes this pink hue issue.

  • Why does my photos print with lines in them?

    I make sure I clean my printhead, ink smear & do a printer alignment page before I print but my photos have lines or smears in them. What can I do to print nice pictures without the lines?

  • How do i access advanced black & white print mode with CS6 using OS 10.8

    We are using CS6 at our printmaking facility and recently upgraded our workstation to Mac OS 10.8.5. Now we are not able to access the advanced black & white print mode anymore when printing gray scale images. Is anyone else having this problem and what is the work-around? Thanks, David

    Probably Epson's ABW,
    EPSON Advanced Black & White
    which can easily be replaced by a custom profile with very strong 
    Gray Component Replacement (GCR). That means: a B/W image
    is printed by all inks, but the gray inks are dominating.

    With some printers it is possible. Try going to the printer properties and selecting Grayscale pprinting.

  • Black/white printer as default on colorprinter

    How can set my printer - Samsung C 460 to print black/white as default - and only print in color, when I want i to do that?
    Samsungs says they don't know how. The tell me to ask Apple.
    The printer is WiFi. My Mac runs with Lion.

    When you print something, you get the initial print page.  You will see several double arror to the right of the top two buttons.  Click on the double arrows look and see if there is anything about black & white printing.  Look through each of the options. 
    The options are jointly  done by Apple and samsong.  Printer manufactures implement these functions.  Samsung should know what is done.

  • Why does a VRRP master with preemption disabled regain master state after the reboot ?

    Q: Why does a VRRP master with preemption disabled regain master state after the reboot?
    A: This issue is found in the following scenarios:
    1. When spanning tree is disabled on either of the VRRP controllers but enabled on upstream switch(es).
    2. When the controller(any one VRRP controller) and upstream device(s) run different versions of STP.
    3. STP convergence time is different across the VRRP controllers.
    In these scenarios, rebooted vrrp master is expected to come back as vrrp MASTER as the link takes some time to converge and fail to receive VRRP advertisement packets from its peer and may roll back to MASTER.
    Trigger for this is, since STP is enabled on intermediate switch and disabled on controller, switch is taking some time ~30 secs to converge the link while port on the controller has become UP and fail-over to Master due to 
    not receiving VRRP advertisement packets
    In all these cases, it is advised to enable holdtime to mitigate issue. Holdtime has been introduced to tackle this issue in the "preemption disabled scenario".
    Configuration via CLI:
    (controller) (config) #vrrp <id>
    (controller) (config-vrrp)#holdtime
    Description:
    The VRRP virtual router does not begin listening to advertisements until the holdtime expires. If your deployment includes a VRRP master with preemption disabled and an uplink switch is running RSTP, a higher value will prevent the VRRP master from regaining the master state after it reboots.
    Range: 30 - 120 seconds
    Default: 45 seconds

    Hey Jim,
    Thanks for the follow-up.  Here are some more details:
    OS - 10.8.2
    FCP X - 10.0.7
    I can't update either of these because of my Avid installation.
    Something else I didn't mention – this happens in a 4K project.  Notice how a default Zoom title looks:
    Lines 1 and 2 are almost stacked on top of each other.
    Here's my title style:
    Here's what the title looks after I apply the title style, modify Line 1, and remove the contents of Line 2:
    And here's how it looks in the exported master file MOV:
    Notice how it's pushed down?
    Then I decided to make a 720p project.  No more title problems.
    So if you have some 4K footage, Jim, give it a go.  Or if there's another 4K-er out there, try this and let me know.
    Thanks!
