8500A Plus - Printing 1 page but 1/3 of it on 3 pages - ALL THE TIME!

Hey All -
Picked up an 8500A Plus printer and having some serious issues with it.
1. When I try to print anything - 1 page or 100 pages very very often (like 85% of the time) it will print 1 page over 3 pages of paper - or 2 pages of paper. It just divides it up and prints the 1 page over multiple pages - right to the edge as if there is a feeder problem (like it took 2 pages by mistake 4" apart) - but it didn't - it takes one - prints 1/2 or 1/3 the page - takes another prints the next 1/2 or 1/3 and so on. The ONLY way to solve it is to turn it off - then back on. Then it works for 1 or 2 print jobs if done immediately - if it sits it will not do any correctly - the longer it sits (like 1 hour) the more it does it. Turn it off then back on and I am good for a bit.
2. I select scan to computer - and it will the 1st time about 80% of the time - but the second time? NEVER - It says can't make a connection - even though 10 seconds ago it just did.......turn off - then back on and it works for 1 turn.......then turn off and turn on blah blah blah.
Will be returned if this can't be addressed - a complete waste of time.

Did you return your printer or were you able to fix the issue. I just purchased this printer and it worked fine for two days, then suddenly began printer various parts of page 1 onto two or three pieces of paper.

8500A plus print blank pages from the internet

I just purchased my 8500A plus a week ago, over the last two days, everything I print from the web prints blank and labels the topic of the page in the right hand corner "page 1 of 1". Is there anyone else who is having this issues?

First boot into recovery and select Disk Utility>First Aid and repair the disk.
If there is no improvement, perform a Safe Boot:

If there is an improvement, then third party applications are probably the cause of the problem.

How to keep the banner of a page all the time?

Hi,
I created a page with a company logo on the banner. Then I have couple portlets on the page (form, report). From the form portlet, I navigate to another form. As soon as I navigate to another form, the banner on the page is gone, the new form displays in a new window without the banner. How can I keep my banner of the page all the time?
Any ideas will be highly appreciated.
Thanks;
Kelly.

Kelly,
What meant by "in-place drill down" is that if you have a component on a page linked to another component when you perform an action this page will reload and display the "new" component instead of the "old" one. The only problem - it will be implemented in "A" next release, not in "THE" next release. In the meantime you can use 3.0.8 feature of using the same template for your pages and components.
Thanks,
Dmitry

I have turn on automatic-brightness, but it does'nt work. Brightness is all the time same (in dark or at sunny)

Hello,
i have iPhone 4 and i have problem with automatic-brightness. I have turn on automatic-brightness, but it does'nt work. Brightness is all the time same (in dark or at sunny). People says it's firmware error. What to do with this?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

In Safari I can define what pages are loaded when I open a "New Window". How do I achieve the same in Firefox (and supress the current begavior of it opening all of the tabs that I defined as my home page all the time)?

I am returning to Firefox after having used Safari on Mac for the past year. One thing I liked about Safari was that I could define what page gets loaded when I used the File Menu command to open a new Browser Window. I defined this as opening up with my Bookmarks Menu where I then was able to select the page I wanted to go to.
I have not been able to find a way to define this in Firefox and was surprised to see that "New Window" in Firefox opens all of tabs that I've defined as my Home Page.
Is there a way to manage this?

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Laptop starts up but screen is black(doesn't happen all the time) PLEASE HELP

I own a Toshiba Satellite L505-S5966. It's 4 years old and for the most part I haven't had any problems up until recently. The first problem was it started to say "battery not detected" and saying my battery was in poor health and to replace it. Well I did replace it but it still continues to say not detected, but that is the least of my worries. I will say my AC adapter isn't the original as I had to replace that about 2 years ago.
One day while using my laptop, the screen just went completely black. I turned it off and tried to turn it on and nothing. Looked up some stuff on Google which said to clean out the dust, which I did. I also took the battery out and held down the power for 60 seconds. Well after doing that it seemed to work fine until the screen went black again. I did it again and it seemed to work. But sometimes when I turn the computer off, and try to turn it on, I can here it come on but screen stays black. If I wait a while it will work though.
Well it keeps doing this on and off. Other issues I have had is 2 times a blue screen came up. Once it was too quick to read but another I did have a chance to read it and it said something about "APC_INDEX_MISMATCH." Also about 2-3 time I've gotten a screen that said "Interactive Services Detection- The program is no longer requesting attention...." while online but I can always hit "return now" and everything is good. And then recently when I went to turn my laptop on a screen came up saying "Windows loading screen" but it froze up and never loaded anything so I had to hit the power button to restart.
I know it's not good to hit the power button to restart but it's the only way I can get it to turn off because whenever the screen is black or on the blue screen, the keyboard doesn't work at all. I would like to mention sometimes I have to restart because the keyboard will freeze up and nothing will work. The keyboard is brand new, I just recently replaced it but I know I installed it correctly. Everything else is also correctly in place as well.
I've ran anti-virus and malware scanners both in safe mode and not. Everything says it's good and shows no viruses or anything. I also did a memory diagnostics and it too came back good. I didn once mess with the toshiba diagnostics and it said my harddrive failed but I read on Google that the Toshiba diagnostics tool isn't reliable and many get a harddrive failure when it's not the case.
I would really like to know what could be wrong with my laptop. I haven't took it anywhere to be looked at because I don't want to pay $50 to find out it will cost $300 to fix. I'd much rather see if I can find out what's wrong online before having to take it anywhere.

New Drive installed. disc get here. reset to day via disc. Started up ran good for about 3 days. BLUE screen.... reboot all was good. Then it started to happen more often.. Now about a Month later. The display will just go black. you have to let it set hours with battery out and power cord off. reboot all is good. NOW display won't come on. hit power it clicks and fan comes on and nothing. Hooked up to ext did the FN F5 and still nothing. I put the olg drive back in. it would at least light the screen. Nothing.. Anybody have any ideas???
Thanks all...

In the future if you could, just start your own thread just to make things easier to keep track of. If you did and didn't get a reply (wait at least a few days), then you can bump so it goes back to the top. OK, sermon over
When you get a blue screen, what was the error message. One of the first things I do when I get a computer is go into the settings and disable the restart on system failure so it doesn't go into a boot loop and I can read the error message. I don't know why that is set that way on default.
If you hooked up the computer to an external display and still not getting anything, then it suggests its not a bad display.
Can you get into the bios? Can you access the recovery partition? If you have another working computer available, can you connect your new and/or old drive and do a diagnostics on to see if there are any errors? Besides the new hard drive, have you done anything else to the computer like upgrade ram, etc? You can also try and reseat the ram.
If you can get to the recovery partition, you can try a system repair. Of course this will only work if the problem is software. If it is a hardware issue, you have to try and isolate it (i.e., drive, ram, battery, etc.).

Updating a .Mac hosted iWeb blog: always all pages, all the time?

Hi there:
I'm creating a blog via iWeb and posting directly to my .Mac account at http://web.mac.com/cheathamlane .
I have quite a few posts now, and it appears that iWeb is re-publishing each and every blog post every time I update/publish. Is there a way to publish only the new or changed posts? It's becoming a bit of a hassle, waiting (and waiting) for iWeb to do its thing.
What is the obvious thing I'm not doing?
Thanks!
Patrick

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance to someone who can point out the obvious for me!
Cheers,

When I print from my pad it only print one page at a time, why?

Why can I only print one page at the time when using the iPad?

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

I have bad eyes so I need zoom bigger print all the time. An I reset and see always going from small to bigger every time?

It would be nice so that my bigger print with Firefox and to see all by bookmarks without changing the print from small to bigger or just print so I can see all th pages all the time?

To print larger fonts of a page, select print preview. Then change the 'scale' to an appropriate size.

8500A Plus prints two sided. Each side prints to edge so neither will align with each other

What setting could I be overlooking?
I have a 8500A Plus with the Two-sided Printing Accessory installed. I'm using it as a wireless printer from a Macbook Pro, using ADOBE Acrobat 9, both 100% and fit to page have an alignment issue.
I want to print a two sided document, one page per side, orientation landscape, both sides same size, align on both sides center (or at least align back-to-back). But whatever I try, it gets printed "binding top" which renders the header on one side back-to-back with the footer on the other side.
This is important to my production as a graphic designer. Please help.

My Hp 8500a plus printer keeps saying it is offline and will not print. Was printing now stopped.

I have an HP 8500a plus printer. Lately, when I go to print from Macbook or iPad, it tells me the printer is offline. My printer says it is connected to my wifi but will not print. Printer firmware is up to date. I have changed nothing, and now it will not print. Very frustrated and tired of spending all of this time trying to fix the printer just to print. This is my second HP printer this month and it works sometimes and doesn't work sometimes.
Am I missing something? I don't understand how it can print one day and not the next.

Try this if it is an Airprint Printer.
1. Turn the router, iPad and printer off
2. Turn on the router and then wait 30 seconds
3. Turn on printer and then wait 30 seconds
4. Turn on your iPad and test print.

How do I print panoramic photos on an HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus printer?

How do I print panoramic photos on an HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus printer?

Thank you for this link! Actually I installed a brand new Windows 8 system in January 2014 and then bought the HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus printer a few days later. To install this printer I did not use the CD that came with it but already used this link. Just to be sure that I have the latest version I again reinstalled the driver. The result is definitive: You cannot print common photo paper sizes like 4x6, 5x7, 8x10, etc. via a PC using photo SW like HP Photo Creations, MS Gallery, Windows Photo Viewer or any other SW on a HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus. The reason is most likely that HP marketing decided that an Officejet should not be smart enough for photos, after all the company sells also Photosmarts. Because you cannot create your own formats you are limited by the driver to what is typically available in an office, in this case: A4, Letter, legal, Statement, Executive, A4, A5, A6, B54 (JIS), Envelopes #10-DL-C5-C6-A2-Monarch, Japanese Postcard, Japanese Envelope Chou #3-#4, L, 2L, O**bleep**u hagaki, Index Card Letter-A4, Edge-to-Edge Letter-A4, Env. Japanese No 3-No 4 and that's it, not more. Thank you anyway for trying to help me but in this case only the SW developers in HP can help.It would be great to be able to print from time to time a 4x6 photo on this printer like I would do.Copying photos on a USB stick or on a SD card first and then use this way to print on the printer is too cumbersome for me.
