If you encounter problems while printing from Greetings Workshop, such as no printout, low print quality, or missing text, there are several ways to troubleshoot the problem.

NOTE: If the printer displays a message or an error indicator, see the printer manual for information on how to correct the problem. When a printer does not print at all, the cause is often mechanical:. Graphics could be clipped or may not print on some printers. Some printer drivers have difficulty printing some graphics. An updated printer driver often corrects the problem. Contact the printer manufacturer to obtain the latest printer drivers for your printer.

In addition, Canon printers may 'clip' graphics part of the graphic does not print. If you are using a Canon printer, using the latest printer driver may help correct the problem. If you have a problem with graphics getting clipped or if the spooler crashes when you try to print, try changing the settings of your printer by doing the following:. This change will reduce the occurrence of a spooler crash.

If you encounter this crash even after making these changes, switch off your computer and restart the computer again.

Doing so may further reduce the chance of a spooler crash. Lighter color text, lines, and shapes might not print with some printers. Some printers print lighter color text, lines, and shapes as white, thus causing the objects to "disappear.

Greetings Workshop will alert you about a border or any other item that is in the unprintable area of the paper. However, some printer drivers provide misinformation about its unprintable region. As a result, portions of the border may not be printed correctly, or at all. Should you encounter this problem, reduce the border's size and print again.

HP DeskJet C printers do not print rotated text correctly. This problem occurs specifically with the version 7. If you are using HP DeskJetC printer, you must have the latest printer driver from Hewlett Packard to correctly print projects containing rotated text. Greetings Workshop paints any borders in your project after painting the background.

There is a one-pixel gap between the interior edge of the border and the outer edge of the background. With most projects, this gap is not noticeable. If this gap is noticeable, you can reduce the visual effect of the gap by selecting backgrounds and borders that are similar in color. When banners are printed on Canon BJC printers, a smaller area of the page may be used for printing.

The layout of the banner may have changed after you choose to print. See Define your printer setup before designing a banner below. To print banners correctly, change the page orientation settings of your printer to portrait instead of landscape. Some older dot matrix printers with non-square pixels e. Text may be clipped by the frame edges. Pictures may also be clipped or significantly shrunken in size. NOTE: You cannot print multimedia greetings. Multimedia greetings should be sent via e-mail, sent as an executable on a floppy disk, or posted on the Greetings Workshop Web Post Office.

Greetings Workshop demonstrates how to print on both sides of the paper, even if your printer does not support duplex printing. The instructions for double-sided printing vary depending on the project type and type of printer; therefore, be sure to follow the instructions carefully each time you print a double-sided project. Always hold your project so that the front page is on top and then follow the animation.

You may have to run a print test if Greetings Workshop is not familiar with your printer. Once you have followed all of the instructions, Greetings Workshop will know which set of double-sided printing instructions to show you. If you follow the instructions and get incorrect results, click on the Fix Printing Problems button displayed at the end of printing each project.

Then click on the Printing Test button. This will start the print test again so that Greetings Workshop can update the information it has about your printer in order to show you the correct double-sided printing instructions.

If Greetings Workshop did not ask you to run a print test the first time it showed you instructions on double-sided or label printing, then you will not see the Printing Test option if you select Fix Printing Problems. Before you print labels using a laser printer, be sure to check that the labels are designed for laser printers. Using non-laser printable labels in a laser printer may cause damage to the printer.

Be careful to place label paper or Hallmark Connections special paper in the tray facing the correct direction and with the correct side up. Greetings Workshop provides directions on how to place Hallmark Connections paper and label paper in the print tray.

To avoid wasting label paper or special paper, try printing your project on a blank sheet of paper to test the orientation of your inserted paper. Use Raster Graphics for better printing on laser printers. Printers using HP PCL language will print graphics better if you set the printer to "raster graphics mode. Right click on the printer icon and then select Properties.

Look through the dialog box to get to the tab for setting Raster Graphics Mode. If you intend to save your project to a floppy disk, make sure that there is sufficient disk space available.
