Dragon Snack Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Has anyone else had problems printing out the Rage Chronicles? Not only did I have problems printing it out at home, I took it to Staples to have it printed out (and bound) and THEY had problems printing it out as well. For some reason on my home printer, it wants to print out all the pictures as a black area. This wouldn't even be that bad, except that the pages have background pictures so that all the pages with rules on them come out black. The Data Card pages printed out fine. I checked my settings for my printer and FoxIt, didn't see any way to correct the problem. At Staples, it printed so slow that they had to give up on it. They even left it to print overnight and only got the first 5 pages. Suggestions? Miraculous cures? Come on miraculous cures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vutpakdi Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 No problems printing for me. Are you trying to print black and white (only, no halftone / color)? Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanyBoy Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 No problems here, it printed just fine. Check if you have the latest version adobe reader, if you have an older version it may be the cause of your problem. I hope it helps...

Dragon Snack Posted September 15, 2007 Author Share Posted September 15, 2007 Yep, B&W. I never even bothered to put the color cartridge in my printer. I've printed out other PDFs and this is the first one I've had a problem with. I have the newest version of FoxIt reader, not Acrobat.

vutpakdi Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 My guess is that either the FoxIt Reader (which I've never used) or the printer wants to use color to handle the grey scales in the pictures. I tried to print a black and white page using Acrobat Reader 8, and things printed out just fine for me. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruggs Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 I had no problems having staples print mine from a disk i took to them. they even bound it for me but she bound it on the wrong side so now it reads like a Japanese novel.

Dragon Snack Posted September 16, 2007 Author Share Posted September 16, 2007 I've checked all the settings again, no luck. I even tried printing out a color picture with the B&W settings and the picture comes out decent (not all black like the background and pictures in the PDF). I ended up taking it to Office Depot and they were able to print it out for me, but they are a lot more expensive than Staples so I skipped the Data Cards and binding. I would still like to be able to have Staples print and bind it for me, so while the issue is taken care of for the moment I'm still up for suggestions (or fixes).
