• Why does the printer must a flattened file when there is no transparency?

  I sent a pdf of a file HAVE on a digital printer to preview before sending to print.  In the email I have received from the printer, I was told that this pdf was "transparent (which means that more than one layer) and should be flattened." (Quotes are taken directly from email).

  I am puzzled about this because there was no transparency anywhere in the original file.  Yes, the original file of had three layers, but it was flat and solid work, no transparency or transparency vector effects anywhere.  Nothing that should be flattened.  Everything will be printed in CMYK, and my understanding is that the printer will eventually convert all in a .tif file.

  I'm waiting for a response from the printer and have read everything I can flatten everything to see if I'm missing something.  In the meantime, can someone tell me if this is a common request of digital printers?  Am I missing some important concept regarding the flattening?  Thank you!

  All the Illustrator files have no background - EPS - HAVE - PDF.

  When you place in Indesign or Photoshop you see a white background?

  Lol that is because there is always a hidden transparency layer.

  You cannot see or modify this layer of transparency, it is simply there.

  When you flatten it work to say a PDF file, the application adds a white background, assuming that white is the color of the stock on which it will be printed. Traditional mechanics were all conducted on white boards because copy cameras don't see white. The same theory is used in today's software - white = transparent not visible gold.

• If you move files to an external drive in PSE 7, are these backup files when you catalog backup

  My catalog is now about 50 GB and I want to decrease its size so that it takes up less space on my hard drive, and more important, so my backups and restorations do not take as long.    Files are not to be modified in the future then why keep saving them?  If I move the files on an external drive using files offline, copy/move files on the removable disk will be backup items these files as well as files on my C drive when I backup my catalog?

  If not, can I move files to a new catalogue and catalogue of dangerous data (such as albums, tags, etc.)?

  Thanks for any help.

  function() {return A.apply (null, [this] .concat ($A (arguments)))}

  When restore you to the original location on the destination computer, the fact that restoring average the same path where the files were on the source computer?

  Yes, the exact same path.

  function() {return A.apply (null, [this] .concat ($A (arguments)))}

  I used this option once when I saved on my XP computer and restored to my Vista machine.  It took me a long time to get rid of extra files generated by Vista.

  If you're moving from XP to Vista and your records are under C:\Documents and Settings\, Vista will create aliases to your user folders to maintain compatibility (since Vista has a different naming convention for the files of the user).  Vista itself will not create additional folders, but programs like the PES can be confused by having two different names for the same file.

  function() {return A.apply (null, [this] .concat ($A (arguments)))}

  I now store everything (files catalog and photos) in a folder with the same name under C:\ on both computers.

  As long as it is not under C:\Documents And Settings, then use the original location option to restore to the same exact path.

  The option new location / Restore Original Folder Structure will preserve your folder hierarchy, but create very long paths by adding in the root files, for example \users\ellis\pictures and it is difficult for many people to collapse these unnecessarily added files.

• Firefox won't play .ogv video files when loading a server. Does anyone have answers will fix this?

  I read the suggestions to resolve this, and none of them work. I've updated my .htaccess to match the MIME types for .ogv, I downloaded the binary files and ASCII, neither method works. The .ogv file plays well when you load from a local file, but it will not play seen from a remote server. I confirmed with my hosting company the .htaccess and other issues for HTML5 are up-to-date. Safari and Chrome play the HTML5 videos very well, but not Firefox. Does anyone have concrete answers as to what is the problem. I also use .webm and .mp4 video files, but none of these formats work in Firefox either.

  I pestered my hosting a bit more and told them that all topics help here said it was a hosting problem. They double-checked and did a little work on their end, and * voila *, everything works fine now!

  The bottom line advice: Pester your hosting service to solve this problem!

• Video won't play html published file when it is moved to the new Web site

  Cannot understand it.
  I have a video file to stream my published Flash file.  Works fine at home.
  All files are in one folder.  Transfer the file on a USB key to bring it to school and
  When I load up on the Web site I get this spin green/black on the skin of the piece and
  the video will not play.  I'll double check to see if I can play on my machine of the school
  directly to the USB output and it does not work either (he did on my machine at home).
  Any ideas on how I'm spoil?   Thank you

  OK by what you say, I assume you are using the flash component. To the place where you have been searching for that modification of the file, the path to be compared to only have the name of the video instead of the path. I have attached a screenshot.

• OfficeJet Pro 8600: Need universal PCL Driver c. 6.64.0.994

  I have a number of printers Officejet Pro 8600 of the series in a Citrix environment.  Compatibility matrix shows that the only factor taken in charge is version 6.64.0.994, but I can't that hollow on the download site, given that the only approach is "what device do you have" not "what software do you want.  Anyone can hang me up with a link to this version?

  Thank you.

  I suspect that the reference to the 6.64.0.994 version is a reference to a pilot specific printer rather than a universal printer driver (UPD).

  As far as I know, there are three UPDs provided by HP, for the following Languages of Description of Page (PDL, s):

  • PCL5
  • PCL6 (aka PCL XL)
  • PostScript (aka PS)

  The OfficeJet pro 8600 series printers seem to confirm that the PCL 3 enhanced , and PCL 3 GUI PDLs, so would not be able to interpret the print jobs generated by one of these drivers of the UPD .

  ... and this specific printer driver may be available for older versions of some operating systems.

  Note that the document refer to States 'versiondriver in table 5 reflects the information that was available at the time of publication. After publication, new drivers may have been released; other drivers may no longer be available for download from the HP site. "

  It is standard practice for HP (and other printer manufacturers) to produce that printer drivers specific to versions of operating system current when the unit has been produced all first and then rely on pilots (sometimes lightweight) made available by the seller of BONE in some newer versions of OS - but there is no guarantee that these are compatible Citrix.

  It may well be an appropriate driver (although not a UPD), especially as the OfficeJet Pro 8600 series is not that old.

• UPD: universal print driver settings Script

  Hello

  I am writing a script that installs printers using the HP Universal print driver in our environment. It would be really great if I could use a script to set specific parameters so that users do not have to themselves.

  Is there a way to define "Print on both sides" to be default via a script? What would you say "Device Type: color" rather than "Device Type: auto '?

  Thanks in advance...

  Perhaps study the features provided by the Administrator Resource Kit to print?

• MF1522 Driver Suite and universal print driver

  The XP machine I'm working on that has two printers must be installed; Color LaserJet 3600n (connected network) and an all-in - one Laserjet MF1522 (USB connected).

  The first error I did installed the first 3600n. The second used for HP Universal print driver make. The 3600n installed perfectly without any problems. Then I tried to install the MF1522.

  The moment where I plug the universal print driver MF1522 intervenes and installs the printer of the MF1522 so when I try to install the driver suite, it is unable to detect the printer, since it already has drivers. So I uninstalled the two printers/drivers, deleted universal printer drivers according to the website of HPs. discount to zero. Check that the universal drivers do not exist and start installing the driver of MF1522 suite. I get to the point where it asks me to plug the printer; so I plug it and before the Setup program can find it, the driver universal printing (I checked wasn't there) appears out of nowhere and installs the printer.

  No matter what I do... the universal print driver comes always before the rest of the pilot is able to find the printer.

  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  Please try this method for uninstalling the UPD. Then proceed to installing the drivers of 1522.

• Reduced with the universal print driver in Windows 7 manual duplex function

  On March 13, 2013, I downloaded the last PCL 6 Universal Printer driver for my Laserjet CP1518NI printer.   Manual duplex printing is now a mess!  In Windows XP, duplexing manual was available for Microsoft documents, but for them, it worked: if I chose to print on both sides, a pop-up window seem to remember to press 'OK' on the printer when it was time to print the second side. I could close this window without affecting the driver himself things correctly configured: he printed the pages first, in reverse order, collected if necessary and rotation so that when this side is complete, all I had to do was take pages on the output tray in put them directly in the input tray and then press OK on the printer, and the other next printed pages, in good order and the correct orientation.

  Here's the worst: when you print a double-sided Word file, I now get a BOX of DIALOGUE MICROSOFT WORD asks me to press "OK" in the dialog box, not on the printer, when you are ready to start printing the second side.  With an open dialog, I can't work with other Word files to the end of the first side printing.

  Is then the settings: apparently, I need to change the settings manually (not what I planned "Manual" Duplex would!) to learn how to print the first side (even pages) in reverse, reverse order / rotation, then the second side (odd pages) in normal order do not hit?  Do I have to change the settings before printing the second side?

  If I don't make all the settings myself, it just prints odd pages in the wrong direction and DISORDER.  If I do all the settings myself, which is exactly the pilot done for me, other than preventing me from working on other documents, the document while current is printing?

  I'm especially disappointed because the old driver worked very well.  I just updated the driver because of what turned out to be another problem.  Sigh.

  In reading the manual. on page 35, it describes how to enable the feature if you have not already:

  http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c01070718.PDF

  According to the available information this process should not be performed by the driver. However, as I said above, almost all the settings you described I not know can be defined in MS Word. Back to history versions of the drivers, I see the same types of drivers that have been developed for Windows XP and the information I have shows that this function must not have changed.

  In addition, similarly, you should be able to allow printing of greys through the preferences of printer or the printer properties Advanced.

  I would like to know if this helps!

• HP LaserJet 4100: Problem with the universal print driver

  Desktop: HP Envy 700-214

  OS: 10 64-bit Windows

  Printer: HP LaserJet 4100 (with a USB to parallel cable)

  I was able to properly use my LaserJet for Windows 8.1 through my Windows 10 crossing (which I upgraded to about 18 months ago).  Quite recently, I welcomed Windows Installer a upgrade, and at this time there, I lost my ability to print.   It has been on my default printer, but gave an error message when I tried to print.

  I tried to "Add a printer" and selected the HP 4100 connected to the LPT1 port.  It would not print a test page, and the printer does not like in the reception of data.

  I then tried to install the (PCL6 and Postscript) universal print driver with similar lack of results.

  I tried uninstallinDeg and reinstall the drivers, but once again no joy.  Incidentally, although I'm going to Device Manager > printing queues and remove the drivers, when I set up an application like Word and select the Menu printing, many copies of drivers rest yet.  When I go to remove them using the printui/s/T2, it is said that they are currently in use and cannot be deleted.

  Yet once again, I repeat - it is not a hardware problem because everything worked well before Windows upgrade.  I just need to find a way to reinstall a driver who will speak to my printer.  It of frustrating because I was able to do that before, but may not know what I am doing wrong.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello GaryLynn,

  You saw did a lot of things to try to solve this issue.

  However the USB to parallel isn't anHP officially supported connection type.

  in any case, what suggests I´d, is that you try this:

  • Unplug the hybrid cable that you use
  • Uninstall all copies of the printer and its duplicates.
  • Stop the print spooler by using the services on windows (type on cortana services.msc) locate print spooler and stop it
  • Go to run and coil type, look at the Printers folder and delete all the files that are there (if any)
  • Restart the spooler to print services.
  • Download and install this driver package
    http://h20564.www2.HP.com/hpsc/SWD/public/detail?swItemId=FP-148007-1
  • Turn on your printer and connect the cable.

  After this exercise, check to see if windows 10 has managed to find the best driver to use your printer.
  If widows did not automatically find it, try the manual on add a Printer Wizard.

  If not reading as LPT1, check ports either USB00 ' # ' or a port DOT4, those who should be the ports to use.

  I hope this helps you get your printer going again.

  Thank you

• Instructions for custom universal printer driver

  You need a print driver custom, only once.  Will not not make a career out of this.

  Is there a simple how-to, step by step to that anywhere?

  (I've seen page 220 + 'guide', and it's not what I'm after.) Too many words for my ADD brain.)

  Thank you very much.

  OK, Windows XP may not be as flexible in the control of what could make a user determined, but I'd suggest the following:

  Download and install the two drivers and the M551 Laserjet Enterprise 500 color printer series driver the HP Universal Print Driver for Windows PCL5.  After the printers are installed, you can rename and customize them.  I suggest you call the driver universal a "Black Printing" or something like.  Click on start, Control Panel, printers and faxes, right-click on HP PCL5 universal print, properties, General, rename the printer in a suit, a request, click the device tab settings, do scroll down to the print color Mode and Turn Off, and apply, click the general tab, the print options, chooese the appropriate default print settings (it may be desirable for this printer select EconoMode on the paper/quality tab) well.

  Even defined the parameters for the Laserjet 500 color M551 version and an appropriate name.

• How to know the encoding of the file PCL5 generated using the HP Universal print driver

  Hello

  I generated a PCL 5 file using the HP PCL5 universal printer driver.

  While I tried to open the file using Notepad ++, the file seems to be encoded.

  How will I know the encoding used in the PCL5? Sample file is attached.

  Thanks in advance.

  >... we would like to know the type of encoding used in the PCL file.

  >> ... How can get us? It uses the EBCDIC encoding?

  There is No text, encoding, as such.

  The text (which seems to be the content of the manual 'PCL5 Comparison Guide' page) has been converted (by your player application and the printer driver) in a raster (bitmap) image.

  The print file generated contains a few sequences initialization, then (as I said) the greater part of the file is an equivalent of PCL-a Windows raster image format (in this case, the selected compression method is TIFF).

  The analysis has been produced using the PRN file analysis tool in the application of the whole PCL , available via http://www.pclparaphernalia.eu

  NEW PC 8.1 HP 64 bit will not install interface UNIVERSAL PRINTER where I can choose double-sided and ECO Print printing. Is there a work - around?  HP is apparently not a print driver for its 64-bit machine?

  I believe that in the driver properties there is a section in the setup or Advanced installation options and you can change duplex of not installed to installed. Can't help you on ECO.
