black boxes on printouts...

[Andreasm82]

I still have lots of trouble with printing.... one problem is the following:

If I printed attached file, some images aren't printed - instead of images, I see black boxes!
That also wastes a lot of ink...


In attached picture, you see the printouts with adobe reader 7.09 on the left side and those from foxitreader on the right side.
So, everything is fine with my printer! Must be a problem of foxitreader.


So please: Fix that bug :)

Furthermore, in a case of such a bug, the problematic area shouldn't be printed as black - white is much better! That doesn't waste ink.

Downloaded your pdf and tried to print the last page (seite 13) with my Epson SC 440. All is fine here. Don't want waste too much ink printing all 13 pages, can you please give me a page number that doesn't work for you, so i try to print it?

[Andreasm82]

Last page works also on my computer.

I have only trouble with pages: 1, 3,4,6, 9 and 10


I also noticed, that these problematic pages are shown a little bit slower in foxitreader!
Seems that these problematic pages have an higher resolution or a different graphics format.

Tried print page 1 and page 3. All seems perfect, as you can see here:

Don't know if important, i don't have Acrobat installed...

Hello Andreas, would you please send me the raw print file for testing?
Go to Control Panel->Faxes and Printers and rightclick your printer. Go to "properties"->"Port" and change it to "File". Print one page of the sample pdf file you sent me, and you will get a raw printer file.

[Andreasm82]

Whiteshark, thanks for testing!

jessamine, I just emailed you that raw file.

But there's a difference to reality: If I activate printing to "File", I can't select two pages on one sheet in printer options (it's possible in foxitreader, but that's not the same!).

[Andreasm82]

I did further tests:

First, I deactivated all foxitreader plugins (I renamed them in explorer) .


I printed the first page without any special settings =>> Everything fine!

I Printed first page with setting "two pages on one sheet" (directly from printer settings, not that option in foxitreader!) => black box on first page!

It also prints fine if using "two pages on one sheet" option directly from foxitreader printer settings!


==> Seems that foxitreader has trouble, if I use some special printer settings directly from my printer.
I wonder that this works fine in Adobe reader...

Jessamine, because I was not able to create the RAW file with me real settings (two pages on one sheet in printer properties), I changed port to Foxit creator port. On that port, selecting that option was possible.

Attached you find created file - which can't be opened here... seems that there's something wrong with creator. Or creator couldn't create file in cause of these black boxes?
