Y-axis label when printing CNiGraph using PS comes out as black square

Hi,
when printing CNiGraphs on a printer using PostScript the Y-axis lables come out as black squares (picture attached). On screen everything looks fine and they print nicely when using PCL.
Does anyone have any ideas on why this happens or what might cause it?
I'm using Measurement Studio 8.0, .NET 2003., MFC/C++.
Thank you,
Mikael Setterberg

Hi Mikael,
I'm not sure why your PostScript file would be printing this way. In order to further assist you, I am going to need more information.
Does the y-axis label contain any special characters that may not be interpreted correctly by PostScript or your printer?
Is there anything different from when you print the graph using PCL as compared to when you print using PostScript?
Is your graph the correct size? In other words, is it shrinking when you print it, causing the y-axis label to be overwritten?
Have you tried saving the PostScript file to your computer and viewing it with a program such as Adobe Acrobat or GhostScript (you can check out Printing and Viewing PostScript Files from Windows and DOS for more information on GhostScript)?
Finally, have you tried printing other PostScript files (ones that look correct, including graphs with y axis labels) on your printer?
The answer to these questions should help us solve the problem, or at least point us in the correct direction.

Officejet 6500: All print jobs (except copies) come out with black smudged background. Fixes?

I have an Officejet 6500.: All print jobs (except copies) come out with dark black smudged background and the text is also smudged. Any suggestions? Thx

FYI, for Black not printing on OJ 6500 ...
If the printer is out of warranty it may be worth following the suggestion in this post re. soaking the Printhead. Note it's important to switch the printer off at the Power button rather than just plugging out at the wall (as otherwise the Printhead won't get capped properly and may dry out)

When printing form using Adobe Acrobat X, I get squares over my italic text

Hi,
I have created an Adobe Form using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and just printed it to check whether this works and the following occured:
- When printing my 14 page document using adobe reader everything looked great
- When printing my 14 page document using adobe prof X (not XI !) the italic text had some (non filled, seethrough) squares throughout it. The squares are not constant (5-15 squares per sentence) and I cannot recognize a pattern. However, they appear each time I print the entire document.
- When printing only one page of the document (that has italic text on it) it prints fine with either the free adobe reader or adobe pro X.
Font is Verdana,Italic. Size is 8,27 pt. Data is sometimes embedded (I did not use this feature and have no idea what is means). I always use Windows. Right now windows 7 to be exact.
One more thing: as you can see above the file was created using adobe XI. However, my company uses adobe pro X and therefore the document had to be printable using adobe pro X.
Can someone please help me? I have put a lot of time in the design of this form and not being able to print it correctly is a real dealbreaker for using it which would mean my efforts were wasted.
I added an example to clearify:
Best,
Linda

This is all I can find in KB:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/877/cpsid_87775.html#main_Known_issues_on_Windows_
I downloaded MS hotfix and the issue still persists.
We have to identify if this is an adobe issue or a microsoft issue.

Hi there @kthlvac , welcome to the HP forums!
The printer may be having print quality issues as per your description. Please reply to me with which printer model you have and I will look for a troubleshooting guide for you.
Also tell me what troubleshooting you have already tried when you called HP's technical support.

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe you need Acrobat Pro for that.

The photos in my IPhoto have all become mini-thumbnails and I can't open or edit them. When I print the image it comes out normal size. How do I get the thumbnails back to the standard size and be able to work with them?

What version of iPhoto and system are you running? On the guess that you're running the latest iPhoto, 9.4.2, Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the thumnails, Option #2.
2 - It may take 2-3 attempts so don't give up after only one attempt.

I have a Office Jet Pro L7780. When I try to print red, the color comes out brown

I have a Office Jet Pro L7780. When I try to print red, the color comes out brown. I have tried replacing all of the ink cartridges, printing from within two different programs (microsoft word and belight business card composer V5) from my Mac, and from within MS Word on my Windows lap top. In all cases if red is called for, I get brown.
I have gone through the printhead cleaning procedure, the alignment procedure and the print quality diagnostics, all to no avail.
Thanks in advance for your help

All of my photos are there in thumbnail, but when i click on to open a big black square appears with an exclemation mark in it!

Help, all my iphotos will not open, the thumbnails are there but when i click on them i get a black square with an exclemation mark in it?

What version of iPhoto? Is OS X 10.6.3 the correct version of your OS?
Have you cleaned up your computer using the finder to delete files recenbtly?
If you have not deleted the original photos in error then backup your iPhoto library, depress the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild your database

If you use Lion, go to Applications/ Mission Control and, if you have more Desktops, as attached, it means you have more, and you must select the one you need for a certain app. If default settings has not changed, this is Control with left / right arrow
If in Snow Leopard and earlier, you have these settings in System Preferences only. In Lion, you also have some settings in Sys Prefs.
