Print Preview does not work. I only see a grey color screen

This is a new problem that I haven't encountered before. I can't see print preview for any page. All I see is grey color from top to bottom.
Only if I copy + paste to MS Word I can see the Print-Preview.
There is no problem with other browsers such as Google Chrome or MS Explorer. Please help.

Hi Alex,
Hold a flashlight close to the screen at an angle & move it around, do you see a faint Desktop?
If so the Backlight or Inverter is bad.

  • Print queue does not work

    Since the update I did from Tiger to Leopard the Print Queue does not work. When I print a document the printer starts to jump up and down on the Dock for more than 5 minutes. Printing finishes and the icon of the printer is still "dancing" on the Dock. If I try to open Print Queue the window does not open immediately but after a long time and I can't see the printing documents that are waiting in the queue. As a result I can't stop or pause or delete a printing document. The same thing happens if I try to open Print Queue from the Print & Fax Preferences' window. The window opens after a long delay and nothing can't be controlled from this window. I forgot to say that the printer icon remains on the Dock and Force Quit is the only option I have when trying to quit it.
    I have tried Permissions Repair. Nothing happened. I installed the latest driver. The problem is still there. Only after Reseting Printing System the problem is fixed but until the first reboot. If I restart the computer then the problem appears again and the only thing I can do is to Reset again the Printing System. So, if I want to control the printing procedure, I have to Reset Printing System after every restart!!! Any help???
    P.S. I have a Canon iP4500 but I don't think that the printer is the problem because with Tiger I had never face this problem and I have also printed with this printer from a MacBook running Leopard with no problems.

    1) I tried Print Therapy and after I had repaired Permissions the problem was solved (some permission problems were found) until the next restart.
    2) Then I tried to stop and start again the cupsd process and again the problem was solved until the next restart of the computer.
    3) Then I replaced the cupsd.conf file with a new one but the app asked to restart the computer and after this the problem was back.
    4) Print Therapy does not find any problems neither in the properties of the root user nor in the current user or any other group.
    5) Also the verification of the temporary files find no problems.
    In conclusion I think that the problem lies in the cupsd process because when stopped and restarted (we can forget that by Repairing Permissions actually we restart cupsd) I have no problem until the next restart of the computer.

  • The print tab does not work in mapquest

    The print tab does not work in mapquest

    You are on the right track to getting the printer installed regarding firewall but perhaps it has saved in a different port on your computer than can communicate correctly.  Search Devices and Printers on the Windows 8 PC so you can pull up the printers' folder. Do you see the Officejet 6500 in here (meaning have you installed it again)?  If you do not see it here, check your Print Server Properties and make sure the driver is not in here either, if so remove it.  Restart the Print Spooler. Make sure you uninstall it completely and shut down the PC (see video link on how to uninstall HP drivers and restart the print spooler in Windows 8 if needed).
    Remember to re-install the Full Feature Software and Drivers (for your OS and region) when the PC reboots.  Try the test print and if it does not print:
    1. Right-click on it and select Printer Properties.  
    2. Under the Ports tab make sure you see the printer's IP address here or a serial number.  Sometimes the HP network -rediscovery ports can be tricky.  
    3. When the printer is high-lighted in this window, click Add Port.  
    4. Select Standard TCP/IP and follow the rest of the prompts in the Wizard to enter in the printer's current IP address.
    5. Try to print.
    If this does not help you, you may have other computer problems.  
    Have you ever installed a printer on this PC before?  
    What is the name of the anti-virus software you use?
    Are you on a server, proxy, or other elaborate wireless setup?  
    Answer those questions for me please if the above information does not help you. I will do my best to assist. 
    Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.
    When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.

  • How come when I try to print from my iPad for example Tim Horton's WiFi to mu home Airprint printer it does not work.

    How come when I try to print from my iPad for example Tim Horton's WiFi to mu home Airprint printer it does not work.

    The Airprint printer must be on the same local network (LAN) for Airprint to work. You cannot print to your home printer using the WiFi at Tim Horton's.

  • Ipad 2 Print button does not work after 6 upgrade?

    Since we upgraded to iOS6, our print button does not work and does not find our printer.  It was working fine until iOS6.  Called an Apple Technician and he had me reset, which wiped out all of my saved information but didn't fix the print.  He then started talking about a restore but the phone line went dead.  Has anyone had this problem?

    Today's iOS 6.1 update fixed the printer problem.

  • Finger print reader does not work

    i followed the directions and my print was scanned, rescanned,and the edges were scanned and accepted but the reader does not react when the phone is locked....i deleated and rescanned and followed all directions which accepted my finger print....once again thereader does not unlock the phone...any suggestions?

    I looked for software and found a suggestion which I down loaded. Now the finger print reader does not work either on Internet Explorer or on Firefox. So I had to do a reset to an early time to get rid of that soft ware. We are back to where I started, with the finger print reader working fine on Explorer 11 and it does not work at all on FireFox. There must be some work around, has this not occurred with other folks.

    There is no Apple here, this is a user to user forum.  When you said you restored, then you restore as NEW?
    If you restored as New and still the problem persiist, then it time to take a trip to the Apple store.

  • Printing/Preview does not honour to printer page margins and garbles text

    I have this weird problem with printing. When I print, e.g., a pdf using preview, the page comes out of the printer incorrectly, that is the top 2.2cm gets chopped off and some of the characters have become unreadable (especially the I, the :, and the J). When I print the same pdf from adobe reader, the page comes out fine...
    The problem of chopping-off the top bit of a page also happens when I print directly from an application (e.g., thunderbird, firefox). Saving the print as PDF and printing that one with adobe reader again works fine.
    The problems occurs only when I print on my Lexmark Optra E312L (using the generic Postscript printer). On our HP Photo Printer (B9180), everything works as expected.
    I have already restarted the printing system, but while this did solve another printing problem, I still have this problem.
    So my question is: anyone else experiencing similar problems (ie., top of print chopped-off and garbled text) and, better yet, is there a solution?
    Thanks,
    Hayo

    Steve, thank you for trying to answer my question/solve my problem!
    You suggestions, however do not fully help in my case though
    I was already using the full printing dialogue, but nowhere did I find anything that might solve this problem. The print scaling, I did not want to use as I want the page to come out as-is (the pdf was an A4 and I print to A4). Note: border less printing or other ways of selecting a larger printable area doesn't work either; when I select the Lexmark, I have a very limited number of page size options and while it shows them, I can't use a custom page size (otherwise that could have solved the problem I guess).
    I did expect some things to get chopped-off but then evenly from all sides (ie, where it can't print). This is not what happens when printing from preview though. Today I tried again and while the results are the same, I now understand better what Preview does: it chops off only the top bit (what it does left and right, I don't know yet). In my opinion this is an error on the part of Preview because that way you never get the page exactly as it was intended. Adobe Reader does this much better, so that is what I will be using from now on.
    The other problem, the garbled text (mostly i's, j's, and :'s) is still there as well. So I guess there must be a problem in the printing engine of Preview in combination with the generic postscript driver...
    Heck, it gets even more interesting: I also tested printing from Firefox directly. This results in an error flashing on the printer, the printout got out of the printer ok-ish though. When saving the output as PDF and printing that with Adobe Reader again, the printer does not generate an error AND (more importantly), the output is much better quality wise (the rendering of the fonts and greys is much better).
    Right, I guess the lesson I learned here is not to use Preview/print directly when I want to print to the Lexmark and to take the route PDF->Adobe Reader->Lexmark instead.
    Is there a way I can let Apple know about bugs? (the garbled text certainly is a bug, the other things may or may not).
    Thanks again,
    Hayo

  • Scrolling in Preview does not work after update?

    Hi everyone,
    I have recently updated my MacBook Pro (bought in 2011) to Maverix OS X 10.9.1 and ever since had problems with the Preview app.
    Whenever I open a PDF no matter what size with Preview I cannot use the trackpad to scroll down.
    It's not a fault in the trackpad since I can move the mouse and scroll in the sidebar and any other apps, simply not when I move the mouse over the PDF and want to scroll down.
    <edit> This is all the time! I have read dicussions where people had a problem with the trackpad not scrolling for 1-2seconds and then it's working again. Mine just does not work period. It never has unfortunately. <edit>
    I have enabled 'Continuous Scroll' in preferences and tried several other solutions I could find in this community (e.g. System Preferences -> Trackpad -> Change setting to 'with inertia'; that option was not available in my preferences) and I just don't seem to be able to solve this problem.
    I have also tried to set the preferences for 'Show Scrollbar' to 'always' (which had been suggested by one user). The scrollbar dows show up and I can click and drag the bar und thus the pages but it did not change my problem with the two-finger-touch-scroll on the trackpad.
    It's really bugging me since the only way I can scroll down is using the down-arrow constantly which is incredibly annoying.
    Anyone got any ideas? The same problem? A solution even?
    Thanks for your help!!!
    Cheers

    There's a few possibilities then.
    1) Startup to your Leopard installation disk. Don't reinstall the OS, just choose Disk Utility from the menu bar when you can. Once Disk Utility is running, choose your hard drive and click on Repair Disk. If any errors are indicated, keep running Repair Disk until it says everything is okay. If you can't repair the errors (if any) after a few tries, you'll need something much better suited to the task. Most people rely on Disk Warrior.
    2) If the drive has no errors, remain booted to the Leopard installation disk. Without leaving Disk Utility, on the same hard drive, run Repair Permissions.
    You can do both of these steps from an external hard drive if you have Leopard installed on it. Boot to the external drive and run the same two first steps. DO NOT use Tiger or Panther. Running Repair Permissions from the wrong level of OS X will cause a lot of headaches.
    3) If you still can't change file associations, then try dumping the Launch Services Database. This is the file which controls what file types are tied to which applications. OnyX is one such utility that can delete the database for you. Be careful with this utility. It can do a lot of different things, so only do what you need to at this point. Also make sure to download the version for Leopard. Once you have Onyx, launch the app and type in your admin password. Click on the Maintenance heading. Turn on the check box at the top for "LaunchServices". Make sure all other check boxes are off and click the "Execute" button. Onyx should tell you to restart. Do not skip restarting".
    Now try changing any file associations. If it still doesn't work, the OS may be damaged. It's not uncommon for a damaged system to appear okay until after you install a large package like CS4. If that's the case, then perform an Archive and Install from the Leopard installation disks. Make sure to choose the option to preserve your settings.

  • Hp 2727nf printer driver does not work in osx 10.7, hp 2727nf printer driver does not work in osx 10.7

    hp laserjet 2727 nf driver in osx lion does not work, It crashes the application and sends an error message?

    Hey , Welcome to the HP forums! I hope you enjoy your stay here. I see that you are having some issues with adjusting the power save mode settings on your Laserjet P1606dn. I can help with that. First make sure the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet and not a surge protector. If the printer is connected with an ethernet cable to a router then you may be able to do this instead:On the printer hold down the button that looks like a sheet of paper with an arrow on it for about ten seconds. This should print out a report.On your Mac open a browser and enter the printer's IP Address in your Address bar exactly as it appears on the page. When you are finished click on enter/return.This will open the printer's Embedded Web Server. In here you may be able to find some options to adjust the power save settings.If the above does not work then this troubleshooting may assist you with the utility:Go to Applications, and if you have it open the Hewlett-Packard folder.Run HP Uninstaller to remove any existing software from you system.On the Mac go to the Apple icon and Sytem Preferences.Open Printers and Scanners.Hold down the Command key and click on the picture of your printer on the left.Click on Reset Printing System.Go to Applications and Utilities.Open Disk Utility.Click on Macintosh HD on the left.Click on Verify Disk Permissions. This should take about ten minutes.Click on Repair Disk Permissions. This should take about ten minutes.Restart your Mac.Plug in the USB cable between the printer and the router.Check for Product Updates on your Mac.Try running the tool again.If this resolves everything please let others know by clicking on Accept as Solution below my post.
    I hope this helps and I hope you have a great day!
