Since what we do is 'fill out' these forms using Pages, we put black text on the scanned image and then print it.

I should note that these documents print normally on an LaserJet 1320n, and always have.įurthermore, when viewed onscreen using Pages, they appear normal.

My first thought was to update the printer drivers, but HP's customer support site says that there are no driver downloads for this printer for Snow Leopard because Snow Leopard ships with the latest drivers.

I have tried printing problem PDFs using Preview, Adobe Reader and PDF Pen. If I import any of the problem PDFs into Photoshop (forcing me to choose a specific pixel resolution and pick a specific page) the resulting image prints correctly (black text on a white background). Color documents with black text on white backgrounds authored in Apple's Pages program print correctly with black text on white backgrounds. I have tried this with PDFs created using Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500m (the primary source for PDFs around the office) as well as PDFs coming from the eFax on-line service (the other typical source for PDFs around the office). Going through the options menu on the printer itself (no obvious related settings to be found) Changing the output quality (draft, proof, etc) Changing output resolution (600dpi, 1200dpi, etc) Changing the paper type in the print dialog box Saving the PDF in preview using a Quartz Filter for Black and White, Reduced File Size, Gray, etc Changing the color matching between in-printer, and any number of profiles on the computer Rebooting the computers, turning the printer on and off To reproduce the problem, I choose any PDF file where the background is white and the text is black and print from any of the above mentioned computers in the office and the output from the printer on paper is a black background with white text. The HP LaserJet P2055dn is connected to the computers wirelessly via a late model Apple Airport Extreme. I'm having a problem where PDFs are printing inverted from 10.6.1 from any of two new MacBook Pros or one MacBook Air in the office connected to a networked HP LaserJet P2055dn.
