Ronni the OS is Leopard which has the HP drivers built in supposedly. I have
trawled the US HP website looking for updated drivers without any joy. Ditto
for troubleshooting information.
I have also searched several forums looking for answers without any luck. What
I have discovered is
Hi Mike,
Grrr HP are hopeless at updating their Mac drivers … I never recommend HP
Printers for use on Macs.
Have you selected the printer model here ands check if you have the latest
drivers for OS X 10.5?
Ronnie, yes I have been to that page. What is being printed is A1 drawings.
Another thing I've noticed is that on the Mac defining the page is agricultural
when compared to the PC - not what i expected. Its almost as if HP only did
half the job.

Morning,
PDF/X will strip much from document as it is designed to pass through a
prepress device without hassle.
Annotations, Javascript, Encryption, Fonts have to be embedded, Trapping

My experience from print window if you save as
Hi Bill,
I’ve only now read this thread. Were the PDFs you are having the text quality
with when printed, created in Pages Application?
If so, try this:
In Pages:
1. Go to “File Print”
2. When the dialogue box appears, click on “PDF”
3. Select “Save As Postscript”
4. Then double-click to open
All from Quark as far as I know Ronda. But the save as PS option
looked a possibility. I'll try that later.

Hi Bill,
I meant to mention before that for best quality printing of PDFs.
Save as PDF-X - Generates a PDF-X of your print job to a destination of your
choice.
PDF-X files follow a series of printing related requirements not found in
standard PDFs,
I wonder if I have some settings wrong? Whether using Adobe Acrobat
8 pro or Preview, I cannot print PDf text at anything like decent
quality. The printer is a Canon MX310. Done a few miles but all
other softwares print fine.

Hi Bill,
Not sure I can help but what do you mean by poor quality? Is it that the text
badly laid-out or is it that he individual letters are rough?
Could it be that you have your printer set to draft quality?
Cheers,

Hi Bill,
I'm still not entirely clear. Is it unreadable gobbledegook or are the letters
correct but badly printed. When I say you could have the printer set to draft
quality, that is a per document decision that you can make in the print dialog.
MS Word, for instance, may be using its own
Its very poor quality text. Its the real text but quite ragged and
hard to read. I have not changed the printer and as I said, MS Word
(for example) prints fine, as do others. I have access to another
printer via Airport (Epson) and that is fine with PDFs.
What is OSX print dialog
Hi Bill,
It can vary from printer to printer, but to give you the example of my printer,
if from Preview I select the menu option File Print… the dialog that appears
is the Print Dialog. To set the output quality to high one would proceed as
follows:
1) If the dialog is small, press the

Recently I have received documents that are in say, Times New Roman, but
the characters appear ragged.
If I select all and then set the font to Times New Roman Regular all is
well. This occurs when the original text is sent as Times New Roman
postscript.
Give it a go.

I think I have it. I tested your idea Merv and that worked. But
looking at my main work doc this past week - a 48 page mag, it has to
be sent LOW res to actually get to me and there the problem lies!
Its just that I dislike proof reading on screen.
Many thanks all.

I've set up safari so pdf files open within the tab, but I can't print
the pages at all. The print menu comes up, it looks like it's
processing then... nothing.
