To print your own notepads in Windows Livescribe Desktop version 1.4 or later you will need a Color LaserJet Printer that is Adobe PostScript compatible and can print at 600dpi or higher.
 
This is a feature we are working on for the Mac Livescribe Desktop as well, but do not have a timeframe yet for when this will be available.
 
NOTE: Printing your own notepads to a non-PostScript printer may cause Livescribe Desktop to be unresponsive and require a restart.
 
For PostScript drivers please access the Adobe PostScript printer drivers for Windows page.


To print a notepad, first verify that your printer can correctly print Livescribe dot paper:
 
1.      In “Page Viewer” select a notebook on the left to activate the “Tools” menu option and choose “Tools > Printable Notepads > Test Page (1 page)…”.
2.      Livescribe Desktop displays the print window and automatically selects the first qualified printer you have in your printer list.
3.      Click “Print”.
4.      When the test page is finished printing, follow the instructions printed on the page using your Pulse™ smartpen. The instructions ask you to write some words in each of four areas and then dock your Pulse™ smartpen to your computer.
5.      Next, in Livescribe Desktop, examine the test page after it has transferred from your Pulse™ smartpen. If all of your words transfer successfully, then your printer can print Livescribe dot paper and you can begin printing your own notepads.
 
To print a notepad:
 
1.      Choose “Tools > Printable Notepads” and select a notepad to print (“Notepad 1 (25 pages)…” for example).
2.      Livescribe Desktop will present a print window with options to “Print Notepad number (25 pages)” or “Print Test Page (recommended)”. If you have not already tested this printer, select “Print Test Page (recommended)” and follow the printed instructions. If you have already tested your printer, leave the “Print Notepad number (25 pages)” radio button selected and click “Print”.
3.      Livescribe Desktop will print a notepad that you can use just like any other Livescribe dot paper. When you dock your Pulse™ smartpen after writing on this notepad, your content will transfer just like pre-printed Livescribe notebooks and journals.
