Photo printing problem ?

Adobe InDesign CS2

I recently purchased an Artisan50 Epson color printer,
Designed some holiday cards in InDesign
printed and the photos have vertical lines.
The Epson tech supporter offered patient guidance
leading me through some checks and finally to print from Preview
no lines there, which points to a glitch in the Adobe software.

While I can work-around,
I'm wondering if others have had such problems?
If experience of others confirms that updated Adobe products are more
widely compatible?
If others might recommend an equivalent alternative ti InDesign?

thank you
Cliff

www.adobe.com has a forum for InDesign. You might get additional  
responses there.

I have Adobe CS2 Premium, upgraded to 2.3, which includes InDesign,  
and have had no problems with a variety of printers.  Have you  
downloaded and installed the last available update, 4.0.5, that  
addressed numerous problems?

Sorry to hear of your problems.

Adobe InDesign CS2 may have some bugs, however, I have not have had any 
problems with the older InDesign CS on the professional level copier/printers I 
use in production.

At the professional level the alternative is QuarkXpress. And unless you are a 
dedicated Quark user most folks I know  think InDesign is the best option for 
the present.

At the office level there is MS Publisher which I think is a horror for print 
shops that have to deal with those files. And there is no Mac version and no 
way AFAIK to use a Publisher file on a Mac. MS really developed that one as 
anti-Mac, anti-Adobe and ant-Quark.

At the level of doing personal stuff like greeting cards there may be other 
less expensive options. I would like to know as well.

Another work around may be to simpley export the .Indd  file  to .pdf. If the 
bug is in the Epson driver (which it may be) this may solve the problem.

Good luck --glen

I would confirm the extport to pdf route is the best: I believe InDesign 
(and Quark Xpress) are at best unhappy, and at worst downright 
unco-operative when you print to a non-postsript device.
