InDesign 5.5 printing problems

• Interactive buttons in PDF format are at the origin of printing problem

  I'm working on a magazine PDF in InDesign CS5. I recently added interactive "arrows" for readers to navigate to the previous/next pages. The buttons work fine, but some of our subscribers are unable to print the PDF file (they get blank pages). A test, I re-recorded exact same InDesign document to PDF without buttons, and one of my subscribers was then able to print the document as usual. My PDF files always include hyperlinks, indeed, who have never been a problem.

  Because only some people experience printing problems, I thought it's maybe because they are with older versions of Adobe Reader; However, a person experiencing it uses Reader Version 9. The problem could be related to older printers? Something else? I decided to remove the buttons, but I'm still curious about why this is happening.

  Set the buttons to display but not print.

• Printing problem transparent .png

  I'm still a bit new to Indesign, and I worked to create a printable product Catalogue Indesign CS5.

  For different logos, product images, etc I was by cutting the background in Photoshop to make them transparent and saved as .png, then I import in the Indesign file. The problem is that when I print (PDF or directly from Indesign), these .png images do not have transparent backgrounds. Instead, there is a shaded box the size of the image/object. This check box does not appear on the screen as a PDF or in Indesign, but only when I print.

  Any ideas how to solve this problem?

  Before I posted, I've actually tested.

  A. PNG created in current versions of Photoshop with an ICC profile (I tested with other than sRGB or AdobeRGB) and/or transparency fully and properly place in current versions of InDesign, maintaining the correct ICC profile or transparency.

• Compatibility with PDF printer problem?

  I have a PDF document someone created with InDesign CS3 5.0.4.  It opens in Reader 9.1.3 and prints perfectly on some newer printers.  However on older printers at the bottom of the paper is cut in preview before printing and the actual print on paper.  Both printers are HP and I spent a few hours chatting with the Technical Support of HP tent of new drivers, etc.  Their conclusion was that it is caused by an older insoluble problem between the printer and the PDF.  They have, of course, said I would need to buy new printers even if they are not that old and works fine for everything else.

  So far the matter has developed in the other three offices. There must be one better solution other than to throw money at it.

  I have never used InDesign and wonder if there might be some settings used when creating PDF in InDesign or Acrobat that can solve the problem.  The form must be printed exactly as planned, so shrink to fit is not an option.

  Thank you.

  Sound isn't like an ID number at all. Sounds like what she is... a printer problem.

• Where can I find better, more correct instructions to solve printing problems by editing prefs.js?

  Instructions of "resolve printing problems | Firefox Help, line 6. Delete all the lines in prefs.js that begin with print_ and save the file. "do not match what is actually in my prefs.js file.

  In other words, he didn't y not the lines * beginning * with "print" or "print_". However, the string of five characters 'print' is * very * many times buried deep in a line of characters, but never at the beginning of a line and rarely followed by underscore. So I have no idea what I'm actually planned to do to solve my problem.

  It seems to me that this is just a badly phrased statement that might be more appropriate for someone who is familiar with the codification and development of software, which I'm not. I don't have the time, experience or knowledge to understand. I need more literal/explicit/specific instructions.

  The printing problem I have is that I have to print via WiFi to a printer in another room wired to another computer, and Firefox seems to switch or possibly reverse scales fonts for information of margin and the text of the Web page. In other words, the title of the document, date, time, prints etc very wide and the content of the page text prints almost too small to read.

  If there is a lot of user set prefs involved that need to be reset, then it's much easier to delete related lines of the prefs.js is each of them with the button straight on the topic: config page and click Reset.
  This is the main reason (single) to edit the prefs.js file.

• From updateing to 8.1 WIndows printer problems

  Until I updated to Windows 8.1 other months everything was going well on my new laptop, then I went to something of my HP Photosmart B109n scan and it did not work because the pilot was now missing and the application that replace the HP printer driver HP is useless.

  On the advice of the HP site, I tried to download the new driver, but it wouldn't go, he said I had to remove the exsisting installation but when I try it just reboots the computer, but is still there afterwards. It turns out the uninstall has disappeared from the current and installation does not appear in the installer I downloaded.

  As a last resort, I used the system restore but has not only the printer has not changed but now some pre-loaded apps will not work and ask to renew the license of developers.

  I'm a lost what to do next - please help!

  Your laptop is not known to me, but in the case of update 8.1 Win, you should check this update from Toshiba to win 8.1 page: http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/gen...ws8_1-message/

  There you can check if the Win 8.1 is supported on your laptop and how to perform the Update step by step for Windows 8.1
  Some drivers must be uninstalled and updated after installation of update 8.1 to win!

  Regarding your printer problem:
  Each manufacturer of the printer contains own drivers for the Windows System.
  We don't know me if HP released Win 8.1 compatible drivers for the printer Photosmart B109n clean, but to be honest, this problem is not related to the Toshiba laptop. If you have problems using HP printer under 8.1 to win, you should visit the support page of the printer manufacturer for troubleshooting tips and workaround solutions.

• Eny HP 4520: Printing problems in word Document with photo

  Hi @dmanyeah,

  Thank you for reaching out to the forums! I understand that you encounter printing problems in Word, the full image is not printing. Thanks for providing the screenshots. I'd love to help you.

  Try to print a picture from another application to see if you have the same problem.

  To exclude the driver, install a generic driver to see if you have the same results.

  • On the computer, go to start, devices and printers, right-click on your printer and select printer properties.
  • Click the Advanced tab and click new driver, and then click Next.
  • HP Deskjet 9800 by selecting in the list or the Deskjet 990c printer, click Next, Finish, and apply the settings. (you can always go back and revert to the original printer driver)

  What version of Word are you using?

  1. In the text filter box, type print.
  2. Right click on each remaining parameter, and then select Reset.

• C6180A: Network printing problem series C6100

  Hello

  I pray that someone here can help with my network C6180A impression of questions, as I am at a loss to know what to do. I'm technical enough for a layman (not irritable) so able to fix my printer problems, I had to do several times in recent months. However, I am now in a complete deadlock as to what to do next.

  Implemented - laptop HP Pavilion (less than 1 year running Windows 8.1 64bits) connected by wired home network using Netgear HomePlugs, on which my C6180A All in One Photosmart printer is also connected by a Homeplug Netgear network around my house for others to use. The network software Netgear genius picks up the printer and it shows on the fine network. I can also access the IP address of the printer through my thin Firefox browser.

  Printer C6180A is (I think) about 8 years ago and has been well used with over 44 K printed pages! It worked well overall until recently. Minor problems have been solved in the past, which I was able to do very well.

  Until recently, the printer worked very well, so a few weeks ago (nothing has changed on it, or my laptop), it just started to stop printing and also started to enter spurious characters (always number 7) on the LED panel without doing me anything, as if someone was going to put in a fax number. It would show a string of 7 like this: '7777777777777777777' as a fax number alone.  Yet I did not or use the fax on it more. It's where I wondered about capacitors, as I mention below...

  However...

  It will not print many pages at once of all today - even if I get it print OK. It does not go offline (it used to do this), just print job gets stuck in the queue and must be deleted using HP Print & Scan doctor. Nothing else removes the queue now. And no other problems are reported with this utility. If they are, then I have Setup or the utility corrects.

  I did the following to get it fixed so far (with little success ongong):

  -updated and install printer via the HP website drivers (most recent is dated December 6, 2015)

  -uninstalled and reinstalled the driver software several times = sometimes a test page impressions, not always

  -restart the laptop and printer each time I do this to clear no matter what cache

  -Remove and add the device in Control Panel = got a few pages printed today this and nothing else then prints

  -check the IP address of the printer to make sure that his recognized on the network = all fine here (IP address added manually in the settings of the network on the printer a few months ago), although I can't make it here anymore as the "ok button" on the printer does not work now (minor in question not related to this in my opinion)

  -did a hard reset of the printer using the # and 6 to do this = it worked for a few pages then orders

  -printer is always / recognized by any software, driver or utility HP PSD when turned on to be detected to install

  -printer works fine when connected directly via a USB cable, but which is not what I want to do on a daily basis

  -have contacted Netgear in the recent past to make sure that my HomePlugs on my network worked very well, they were. If not, then the printer would not be detected by any software installation or fixing with HP PSD

  My last resort will be to check if the capacitors are down, I saw in other forums that this is a common problem after a while on these printers. Before making this "repair" I bought the capacitors, I wanted to check if there is anything else I missed that I can do to finally once and for all this problem of printing.

  Help on this would be so MUCH appreciated by any expert here, because I lost so much time, days in fact, try to resolve this issue as you can only imagine. I have to be able to print for my business. It is not an option to replace the printer currently.

  It worked fine until the last 3-4 weeks or more... Where my question detailed with what I did to fix it until now.

  Thanks in advance. ANIA

  Hello @AZS1,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP's Support. I understand that you have a problem with your C6180A. I would like to help.

  To be honest, you did some troubleshooting. To say that you are quite technical for a layman seems to be an understatement.

  I provided you with a link to solve network problems. If the problem persists then you might as well go ahead with the repair. The only other option would be to have fix the printer.

• Mac Book Pro and HP Envy 110F wireless printing problems

  I got my Mac book Pro for Christmas 2013 and initially had no problem printing wireless to my HP Envy 110F, but for some reason, I keep getting problems with printing to the envy of 110. We don't have printing problems with our Ipad for this printer.

  I can connect the printer to my Mac book Pro by putting 192.168.1.72 IP address in a web browser, but I get on the symbol bit offline when I print the urge. Last night I reinstalled the printer to print wireless on my mac pro book using a printer cable, which then worked well, but today the same problem reappeared.

  I'm starting to think that the problem may have started with the latest version of the update of the operating system to the Mavericks 10.9.4.

  All thoughts welcome.

  Hi @UKCheshire

  Since you are able to print from the iPad to the wireless printer, I suspect you have to something. I think that the question has something to do with the communication between the printer and the computer and not between the printer and the router. Please use the following document to solve the problem; "Printer is off-line" Message appears on the computer and the printer does not print: Mac OS X.

  If the problem persists, do not give up hope, let me know and we will work through it together.
