Anything I print off the internet is reduced to the upper left quarter of the page, eventhough it looks perfect in the print preview.

I am using an HP J4680 all-in one and windows 7. I'm not experiencing the problem with IE.

Thank you very much, that was indeed my problem (don't know how I missed that) on my menu it was ctrl P/properties/features/resizing options. It was set to 3.5 x 5. It must have gone there when I printed a picture. I changed it to 8.5 x 11 and Life is good again.
Thank again

  • Is it possible to turn off the icon Preview function?

    Hi all-
    Is there a way to turn off the icon Preview function in OS X?
    It’s particularly annoying especially when I open a folder with video clips in it and the Finder whirrs away trying to give a Preview for each file. It wouldn’t be so bad if the Finder remembered the icon, but everytime you open the folder it goes through the same process again! Plus, unless you’re using giant icons you can’t see what the preview is showing you anyway! I’m quite happy to have the ‘generic’ icon and allow the file name to tell me what the item is!
    Many thanks!

    OMG! I can’t believe it’s such a simple answer! Ha ha! I’ve been using Macs for years and never thought to look at the Views menu! (Hangs head in shame)
    Thanks!

  • Using Photoshop CC to make a slide show how do I turn off the crop preview

    I am trying to create a slide show in Photoshop CC.  I am cropping some of the pictures and I can't figure out how to turn off the crop preview.

    Simply select a different tool than the Crop tool.

  • I have these black boxes surrounding things, e.g., there is a black box around the red "close" button on the upper left corner of this page.  There is also an oblong black box

    Hi - I'm not only having trouble waking up my MBP from sleep and having to restart repeatedly which is a pain in itself, but now when it restarted, I have these black boxes surrounding things, e.g., there is a black box around the red "close" button on the upper left corner of this page.  There is also an oblong resizable black box sitting on top of anything.  The content changes depending on the actions I take.  Right now it says, "You are currently on a close button.  To click this button, which closes the current window, press Control-Option-Space."  Right now I'm open in Firefox, but it doesn't matter if only Finder is open, it's still there.  I've tried closing all my applications and restarting and I also reset the PRAM.  It won't go away.  It's probably something simple, but I don't know how to get rid of it.  Any suggestions are welcome.
    Thanks,
    Janet

    Thanks so much.  I saw this on "desktop strangeness" immediately after I posted and tried to retract my question.  It worked perfectly.  I'm not sure how VoiceOver got turned on unless something happened when I was trying to wake up the computer.  I open the lid and it flashes whatever is open and then the screen goes black and I can't wake it up.  Still looking for the resolution to this.

  • Is it possible to turn off the Icon previews for some filetypes?

    I'd rather see the application icon for some files than see every file have a preview in the finder.
    Is it possible to simply disable the live icon previews?

  • How do you turn off the mail preview pop ups, that appear when you open mail since downloading iOS 7?

    Since downloading iOS 7, whenever I open the mail app, I am getting pop up previews of all the unread mail that I have asking me if I wish to either dismiss, or read the message. When I have quite a few emails, this can be an annoying, & time consuming task, which is totally unnecessary, as because I am opening the mail app, of course I am going to read or dismiss the emails.

  • Updated to Mavericks and I get the upper left quarter of the screen blacked out on Time Machine. This means that I can't see the files. Any suggestions for getting rid of the black square?

    Ive tried disconnecting and reconnecting the Time Machine. And I've tried rebooting the iMac, but I still get the top left hand quarted of the screeen blacked out. I can scroll back through the back-ups but the back square means that I can't see the details of any file.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • How can I turn off the preview (overview) automatically executed when I launch Image Capture?

    I love using Image Capture, but every time I launch it, it automatically does a previes of my scanner's flatbed.  Most of the time, I don't use the flatbed.  I use the feeder to scan multiple pages. 
    My question is this:  Is there any way to turn off the automatic preview (overview) that Image Capture executes when it's launched?
    Thanks in advance for any and all assistance!   

    Not a direct answer.
    From Image Capture Help:
    Scan pages with a document-feeding scanner
    When you scan a document with a document-feeding scanner, the same settings are used for all the pages in the feeder. If your pages need different settings (for example, some are grayscale and some are color), separate them into different groups.
    Before you begin these steps, you need to open your scanner. For instructions, see one of these help topics:
    Scan an image
    Scan an image with Image Capture
    Scan an image with Preview
    Place the pages in the scanner’s document feeder.
    Turn on the Use Document Feeder option, if it’s present.
    Set scanning options.You may need to click Show Details to see all the available options.Here are some of the options you can set. The options available to you depend on the scanner you’re using. Some options aren’t available on all scanners, and some scanners may have more options.
    To choose the type of image being scanned, use the Kind pop-up menu.Choose Text for black-and-white images with high contrast, such as text. Choose Black & White for grayscale images. Choose Color for color images.
    To scan both sides of a page, select Duplex.
    To choose a size for the scanned image, use the Size pop-up menu.
    To choose where to save the scanned images, use the Scan To pop-up menu.If you choose a folder, the images are stored in that folder. If you choose an app, the images are opened with that app.
    To adjust the colors or exposure of the scanned image, choose Manual from the Image Correction pop-up menu, and adjust the controls.If you don’t see the image correction controls, scroll down or make the Scanner window taller.
    Click Scan.The scanner scans the pages one by one.

  • For the 1OS 5 upgrade, where is the show preview option so I can turn it off?

    I am trying to turn off the "Show Preview" function on my iphone but can't find it. It is no longer located under messages. Where is it? I do not want previews of my messages show. My daughters play tons of games on my phone.

    It could be that your hotspot has not been enabled by comcast yet, and you are seeing a neighbors hotspot. Either way, if the hotspot is enabled and the "manage hotspot" feature isn't working, you can always call in and get them to disable it.

    Hello wendolynsworld.
    It may be possible that the paper size is currently set to 4"x6" or 5"x7". 
    Before printing, please check the printer settings in the Print menu on your computer.  Make sure that the paper size is set to "Letter" or 8.5"x11".
    If you have any difficulties with finding the paper size setting, please tell us what version of Windows or Mac OSX is on your computer. 
    Also, tell us what programs are being used when this issue occurs.

  • I am not seeing the URL preview you get when you hover over a link. Why?

    Until today, when I hovered my cursor over a link, a preview of the link's URL would appear on the lower left of my screen, above the Start button (I use Windows Vista). Currently when I hover over a link, no preview appears, so I don't know the web address of where I'm going when I click on the link. I thought that maybe this was due to updating to Firefox 19.0, but my friends who have also updated say that they can still see the URL preview. Did I somehow turn off the URL preview by accident? If so, how can I turn it back on? If not, why is it gone?

    Do you see toolbars like the Add-ons bar (Ctrl+/) or the Find bar (Ctrl+F)?
    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.

  • When printing anything off the internet it shrinks the full page into one forth of the full page. How can i print using the enitre page?

    Every time I use firefox I can't print full pages off the internet. I will find the page I want, for example, map quest. I push the print button and my printer prints the entire page in one forth of the space. The entire page I printed can be found in the upper left hand corner of the full page, just shrunk down to a fourth of its size. How can i get a full page printed from the internet?

  • I do not have a fax machin, but get a fax message when I try to print something off the internet and can't get rid of the pop-up so how to fix?

    I have been dealing with this problem about a week. I have turned the computer completely off at night, but it does not correct the situation . I cannot print anything off the internet as long as the fax message is on there. I do not have a fax machine and do not want one.

    What is that fax message '''on'''? <br />Hard to understand how that is a Firefox support issue as Firefox doesn't have any fax capabilities.
    Perchance, do you have an all-in-one printer which can receive a fax message? Printer, scanner, and fax machine combined.<br />
    If so, try looking at your user manual for that all-in-one to learn how to print that message. Or consult with a support forum for that brand all-in-one printer.
    Or maybe your problem is with the Windows 7 Fax and Scan feature? <br />
