Font Book will not print multiple fonts

I am having an issue with Font Book. I can print one font at a time but if I select multiple fonts (from a collection) it will not print, it just locks up and the print dialog box never opens. Does anyone know why or is there another free application that will print fonts?

IPhoto 6 will not print

I just upgraded to iPhoto 6, and I am unable to print. There is no "Print" button in the toolbar (should there be?) and selecting "Print" from the "File" menu does nothing. It highlights momentarily, and then nothing.
I trashed the preferences file, to no avail. Any suggestions?
All my other apps print just fine. Computer is a PowerMac 1.25Ghz Dual (FW800) on OS X 10.4.4. Printer is Canon i960 (but that doesn't matter yet since there is no dialog at all).

An added dimension to the problem to the problem of iPhoto 6 not printing:
This behavior happens only when I am logged in as me (the primary admin account).
When I log in as anyone else, including other admin accounts, the print dialog comes up just fine.
My iPhoto library is in Users/shared/Pictures/iPhoto, but I have tried creating a new library in my own user folder and reimporting the pictures to that new library (by dragging the photos into the new, empty iPhoto window) but that also will not allow me to print.
I changed permissions on the Users/shared/Pictures folder so that everyone has read/write permission. I repaired disk permissions (using Disk Utility).
Still, when I log in under my account (the same one I've always used) nothing happens when I type Command-P or File->Print. No print dialog. No error message. Nothing.
It seems like a permissions/privileges issue but I just cannot figure it out.

ICal and Address book will not print using Snow Leopard

I have had several issues resulting in my having to re-install Snow Leopard several times. Currently all the issues are resolved, but now I have a new issue. The printer and PDF functions will not work. I dread having to reinstall Snow Leopard AGAIN. What is the deal?

This issue was resolved, thanks to a call to Apple Care support. Simply uninstalling and then reinstalling the printer driver fixed the problem. This may be necessary after another printer driver update.

Iphoto 08 Will not print 4x6 borderless prints to HP 3210xi All In One

Hi Folks,
I've just installed Iphoto 08 and upgraded to the latest version 7.1.2. I've also just installed the latest HP 9.7 Mac drivers released to support 10.5.2 on 2/4/08. However I can not get Iphoto 08 to print 4x6 borderless prints to my HP 3210xi All In One Photo Smart printer.
I'd appreciate any feedback/suggestions from anyone who is able to get Iphoto 08 to print properly.
Jim

Jim:
I don't have an solution but this printing problem with HD all in ones has been discussed many times. Do a search in this forum for HP All In One or HP 3210xi or other similar search terms and you'll find the various threads where it is discussed. I don't remember if a solution was found in any of them as I don't have an HP and didn't pay much attention.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Address Book will not print

I am new to MAC. I have spent the last month entering 1037 contacts into my address book. Now I cannot print it. The software itself does not respond. I have had to force quit it everytime. I tried to do smaller segments, but I actually cannot even print a single page. The little wheel turns and it states "not responding". I will even do letter size, but I cannot get it to do anything. I held for over one hour on Apple Support (and I paid big $$ for 3 year assistance, thank you)...So, it won't create a PDF, it won't print even a single page; I have given up on pocket size and would be perfectly happy to get lettersize. I found a link someone gave me to convert vcards to CSV but there are no fields...the addresses are a single row and it is a mess. Is there another software that will pull this out? I tried Entourage on my machine but no go. I will BUY anything after all this work. Thoughts? Ideas?

There are some other applications that can print your Address Book data. Rather than make a specific suggestion, I recommend going to http://www.versiontracker.com/ and searching for "print address book".

Make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and apply the fix below:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
After each run thru the repair process see if you can create a PDF file of the book as described in this Apple Document: iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it. If you can try ordering the book. If you can't finish trying all of the otpions and then boot into Safe mode and try there.

When I click "Buy Now" in iPhoto's book I get the following message: Your book appears to have default text that has not been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue?"

When I click "Buy Now" in iPhoto's book I get the following message: "Your book appears to have default text that has not been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue?"
How do I proceed? How do I identify which is "default text?"

What version of iPhoto are you using?
Go thru each page, check the layout to see if there's a text box included on the page and make sure there is text in that text box. If not it may show the "holding" text like this:
If you don't want to change the page layout to one that only has photos and no text boxes just select that holding text and put a space in its place.

When I click Buy Book this appears our book appears to have default text that has not been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue? will the text I have sellected still be ok or will the book have missing text help Pleas?

I just spent 3 days creating a book [32 pages], with photos and text but when I click Buy Book In iPhoto this appears>
Our book appears to have default text that has not been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue?
My question is will the text I have sellected to use still be ok, am I safe to continue and buy or will the book have missing text ?
The book is for special birtday in 2 weeks time Please Help.G
<Email Edited by Host>

Yes, you're safe to continue. That means that there are text boxes that you did not put any text into and they contain the holding text which will not be printed. That text is shown in a light grayt and is in Latin. Normally you can just put a space in the text box to replace the holding text so as not to get that warning message.
Before ordering the book proof the book according to this Apple document: iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture. Check the pdf file for any missing text or photos and any warning indicators in the text boxes indicating that some of the text has exceeded the space allotted in the text box.
Keep the pdf file to compare with the printed copy when you reciive it.

How can I fix the text in my photo book that reads"your default text had not been edited. Printed books will not include this text?"

How can I fix the text in my photo book that reads"your default text had not been edited. Printed books will not include this text?"

You will get this warning, if your book includes textboxes that still include the default text, like "Insert Title". You need to find these boxes and add your own text. Look for boxes like this:
Make a PDF-preview of your book and look, where the preview differs from what you are seeing in iPhoto.

IPhoto will not print a photo on Epson DX7450

I have a client who has a new iMac that originally ran Tiger and printed photos in iPhoto '08 using an Epson DX7450 multi function printer - all was just fine. Recently, they upgraded to Leopard and now running 10.5.5; sadly now photos in iPhoto will not print - other programs are not affected, just iPhoto. The Epson has the latest drivers and Epson suggest that the issue lies with iPhoto. Any suggestions welcome please. They do not want to use a different photo library application!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First try the easy fix: close iPhoto, delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, launch iPhoto and see if that helps.
Next, if necessary, log into another account on the Mac, create a new library if necessary, import a picture and see if you can print from there. If not then a reinstall of iPhoto seems warranted. In that case you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder.
If iPhoto prints OK in the other account then the problem is with your primary account. It could be a preference file other than iPhoto's. Here's how to determine if that's the case:
Trouble Shooting Preferences in Leopard
1 - Create a folder titled "Preferences A" on the Desktop.
2 - Open the working Preferences folder, HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences, and move the contents to the Preferences A folder on the Desktop.
3 - Make a duplicate copy of the Preferences A folder on the Desktop as a precautionary backup.
4 - With the working Preferences folder empty run the application again and determine if the problems is fixed.
NOTE: you may have to drag the contents of the working folder to the trash and empty if moving the contents to the A folder only copies them instead of moving.
5 - If the problem is fixed:
A - open the working Preferences folder (HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences).
B - Open the Preferences A folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Preferences folder.
C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here.
6 - If the problem is NOT fixed, empty the working Preferencess folder and move the contents of the Preferences folder on the desktop back into it.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

downloaded acrobat reader 11 onto my Mac Book Pro, it can open the file but will not print. Get a message that says PDF cannot be printed, however, I forwarded it to someone else and they could print it, no problem. I called HP and spent an 1hour with them and then called Apple support and worked with them for 3 hours. No one can figure it out. Is there something wrong with this version? the pdf was created in 2004. Do I have to pay to get Acrobat?

Let me give you a slightly different perspective than everyone else here. You are using an unsecured wireless network, which means that all your network traffic is easily available for viewing by anyone else using that network. That's bad. Very bad, for you, unless you absolutely trust everyone who lives within range of this network. So stop doing it.
As to the Mac not connecting, wireless networking is simply too complex for any reasonable answer without more information. There are many possible error points, and as often as not it's the Mac that can connect and the Windows PC that cannot. Since you can't give us any information about the configuration of the neighbor's network, and can't make any changes to it, we can't do much to help you troubleshoot it.

IPhoto will not print

IPhoto will not print at all and just hangs up. I can not even force quit it. I have two printers connected a HP envy 5532 and a Brother HL-2130 and both work fine with all other programmes.

Are you able to print successfully from other applications, say Preview?
Also as a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

Please help. Want to order completed book but received the following message, "your book appears to have unedited text which will not be printed in your book." What does that mean? Why did the program let me use text that will not print?

Go thru every page in the book and look for any text box. Unused text boxes will have somegthing like this in them:
or this:
Just put a space in those text boxes where you didn't put text previously. Check the inside flaps of the book jacket also.
