Printing labels enlarges, stretches, cuts off text

HP Deskjet 840C
Mac OS 10.6
I'm trying to print labels and get the above results. It's almost like the text that doesn't actually print then remains in the cache and prints on subsequent pages. I say that because I first printed from InDesign with no problem. Once the text started printing weird, I opened a Word doc to print (on plain paper) and got the Word doc PLUS a portion of the enlarged, stretched, bizarre text of my address labels printed with it. Later attempts to print the addresses to plain paper resulted in some of the bizarre text, then all was fine again. But every attempt on label paper gives the bad result.
Is this simply a problem caused by the paper? These are off-brand Christmas labels that I purchased a few years ago, so they are not HP labels.
Any advice is appreciated!!

upgraded to OSX-10.4.6 - things are much happier.

  • Calendar ordering issues (cut-off text)

    I have a calendar that I have successfully ordered and received in the recent past.
    Two more recent orders for the same calendar have given rise to messages from "print services" that they cannot print the calendar because of cut-off text.
    There is no cut off text in the calendar but when I do a print preview I see that each month is cut off (Janu.., Febr ..., etc.) and the year does not appear as it does on the versions I have already received.
    Has anyone else encountered this problem? Can anyone from Apple tell me what to do? I don't seem to be able to act on this part of the text.

    Christopher:
    Try clearing out the iPhoto cache folder inside your User/Library/Caches folder. See if that will help.
    Do you Twango?
    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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • When printing a highlighted (selected) print range from an internet item pulled up through Firefox, the first line of the selected range is not printing or is partially cut off.

    When printing a highlighted (selected) print range from an internet item pulled up through Firefox, the first line of the selected range is not printing or is partially cut off. This is not an issue with my printer, as printer prints the whole selected print range when using Internet Explorer or Word Doc applications. The problem only happens when using Firefox. Please advise on how to fix this. Is this a settings issue or do I need to download and update? Thx

  • Problems printing a PDF-TopMargin cuts off

    I have a PDF which has been forwarded to me.  When I try to
    print it the top margin is cut off.  In other words, the top line and a half of text is not there and the document prints way at the top of the page.  This document is several pages and on each page ther text only takes up the top 3/4 of the page, so there is plent of room to shift the document down on the page and not lose anything.  Is there some way this can be done?  I have tried to find somethign in several of the menu's but haven't found anything.  If there is no way to shift the whole document down when printing, then can anyone shed any light on why this forwarded document has this problem?  Thanks.

    You can crop pages in Acrobat to fix things, not Reader. You can try to Print with Page Scaling to Shrink to Printable Area.

  • HP deskjet printing issue - alternate line cut off and blocks

    Hi guys recently bought a deskjet 3050 and it started printing fine, when i had to print out a large document (roughly about 30 pages) it started to cut out sections of text and replacing them with black blocks.
    now when printing it prints the first line fine then the second line is half missing and some words are replaced with black blocks. then the next line is fine, the next is cut off and blocks again and so it continues.
    it only does this with black ink and not colours.
    anyone know a solution?

    It sounds like the black cartridge has failed electrically.  Try printing a diagnostic page as shown in Solution 6 of the page here.  Does this print properly?  I suspect the black nozzle pattern in the upper right will be corrupted.  You might try removing the cartrdige and cleaning the electrical contacts but I suspect the cartridge will need to be replaced.  You can check the cartrdige warranty as shown here assuming it is an original HP cartridge.

  • CF8 Document PDF cutting off text

    I am facing text cut-off during CFDocument PDF page breaks.
    I am using CF 8.
    Anyone can help Plz ?
    Thanks,
    -SKS

    We are experiencing the same problem, nearly a year after this original post.  All hot fixes applied and the problem persists.  Our data is not really a report exactly, we aren't looping through queries we are building dyanmic content based on some forms.  So we can't use any of the work around methods like counting the number of rows and such, at least not without some major recoding of approx 50 included files.  Documentation says that cfdocument supports the CSS style page-break-inside, but it appears to ignore it.  The problem is also not corrected in CF9 because we have tested it there as well.  No matter what we try to do the CFDocument tag will break in the middle of a table row / text if it happens to fall at the page length where cf wants to break the page.
    This is highly annoying and a large problem as the print outs are for medical data, and the doctors need to be able to read the text, not only have half of it show up on one page and the other half on another page.

  • ICal cuts off text of some events in month view

    I've noticed that iCal cuts off the text of some events, while displaying the full text of longer events in the month view. For example, if I create an event titled "Test Event" only "Test" shows up in the day it's created, but if I enter "Longer Event" the entire text shows up, on two lines. These events are on separate days with no other events on those days, so there's nothing to get in their way. Why is this?

    This is so utterly annoying- I never had this issue with previous versions of iCal, and I can't even run those versions on tiger now that I've upgraded. The tiger upgrade in general has disrupted my workflow much more than I thought it would-
    Because of the way I use iCal, not seeing the full even title in month mode makes iCal pretty much useless to me. I don't want to have to click between dozens of events that begin with "Renders of" to find which set of renderings are due on which days. Nor do I want to go through and rename all of my "Renders of Levels 1a-3c" etc to make the titles more useful. It should just WORK.
    Well, let me know if anyone finds a better way of making this work other than "resizing ad lib until things sorta show up"

  • Cut-off text. Please help me. Thank you.

    Hello,
    I published my site several weeks ago with no problems at all. Now, suddenly, text (rendered as images) throughout the site is being cut-off, sometimes to the point of invisibility.
    my site can be found at: http://www.milescollyer.com/
    (I can provide screen shots of how it appears in iWeb versus Safari if needed)
    I have tried almost everything that I can think of including:
    -increasing the size of text boxes to a generous size
    -increasing/decreasing the size of the font
    -moving the text boxes up and down slightly in an attempt to fully reveal the text
    -deleting and remaking text boxes
    I have been reviewing this forum for days looking for help with this problem. I am at a loss of what more I can do. PLEASE help.
    Thank you,
    -miles

    I noticed there are also diamond symbols with ? in them which are showing up too. Are you creating your text links within iweb and then using the inspector to link them to other pages? I have seen this type of problem when putting in forms, but never with text links. One way around this might be to link the text box instead of the text to other pages. for example, when you highlight the text and go to the inspector then enable as a link simply do the same but dont highlight the text just select the text box. Try it on a few and republish, its worth a try. You also might want to try this first, do a publish all rather than just publish. To do this go to file and select publish all to .mac. Sometimes this is an easy fix to weird problems. Your site looks nice and I hope you can get it up and running. Good luck.

  • The right-click link menu in Firefox 29.0.1 on Mac OSX 10.9.3 does not fully display options (cuts off text)

    When I right click on a link, the usual menu I used to get in older versions of firefox still shows up. However, it shows up in a box that's much, much smaller than the size of the box in previous versions. The text gets cut off and while I can scroll up and down, I can't scroll left to right to read the text of the option. Actually, I've noticed that this happens with most right click menus now.
    For example, if I right-click on a link, I get:
    Open Li...
    Open Li...
    Open Li...
    (down facing arrow to hover over to see the rest of the options)
    All of the system and Firefox fontsize, menu size etc. are at their default. I haven't changed anything.

  • Cut off text on iPod summary screen

    Text on the summary screen for iPods is cut off. iPod description is cut at the bottom of the font text. Text in the options field doesn't show full description. It just ends in ... I can't even mouse over to get a full description and the iTunes help is horrible.
    Examples:

  • MX432 All-in-one printer: left side of printed subject is being cut off when using 'normal' layout.

    Because 'normal' and 'fit to page' layouts cut off left side of printed material I'm using 'borderless' layout but that doesn't give me the paper size option I need.  Any hints on how to save the left side of paper and how to change paper size in borderless layout.  Any hints in print preview wherein I can print just 'one or two'  of multiple pages without having to return to the set-up page?

    Hi vitaminsg,
    You can set it so that "Fit to Page" printing is the default setting.  To do this, use the following steps:
    1.  Click Start.
    2.  Click Control Panel.
    3.  Click Printers and other Hardware.
    4.  Click Printers and Faxes.
    5.  Right click the PIXMA MX432 and click Printing Preferences.
    6.  Click the Page Setup Tab.
    7.  Select Fit to Page under Page Layout, then press OK.
    This should now be the default setting for all programs.

  • Any Way To Have Dreamweaver Cut Off Text Past 100%?

    Does anyone know if there is a way to make Dreamweaver cut off your text if it is past 100% of the screen size?  Thanks.

    Deleted, not wrapped.
    It's no big deal though.
    The thing is I want it right at 100% so it fills up the width of the whole screen.  But, it doesn't work right, because people have different size screens for one thing and the other thing, what I want is a straight line across the screen.  Like if you were to go to style>underline and then, continually hold down the shift+ctrl+space bar until it got all the way to the end of the screen.  However, when I actually preview it in my browser, it is not the whole screen (much shorter).  So, then the only option is to make it really long to ensure that it does actually go to 100%, but then I would have to have Dreamweaver cut off/delete any extra text because I don't want a horizontal scroll bar across the screen.  And, I don't think DW can do this.  Too hard judging the 100% and it would be different on different monitors anyway, so guess I won't be able to do it.  It's no big deal though.

  • Adobe Form Print Problem - Header is cut off without print preview

    We are currently experiencing a problem when trying to print Adobe forms.  We have created several forms and are experiencing the same issue with all forms.  The issue occurs when we are trying to print a form.  If we choose a print preview prior to printing, the form looks normal and prints fine.  However, if we do a direct print (i.e. no print preview), then the top part of the form is cut off.  It's almost like all of that data on the form gets shifted upward, cutting off about 1/2" to an 1" from the top of the form.  We have tried printing to different printers and are ending up with the same results each time.  We do not experience this issue with SAPScript.
    I have searched several threads and haven't been able to find an issue quite like the one we are experiencing.
    Has anyone ever exeperienced a problem like this before? 
    Currently using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.1.2 and are on Netweaver 7.00 EhP1.
    Thank you for any help.

    I am going to go ahead and close this thread as I believe we have found a solution.  Sai is correct that there is an issue with the design.
    If anyone else runs into this problem, take a look at note 968394 that talks about differences between print preview and printing from spool.  When you are in the print preview dialog box, under "Page Scaling," the default is "Shrink to printable area."  So if your form went outside the margins, it would shrink to fit giving you the impression that the problem is not with the print preview rather than the form itself. 
    After moving the header stuff down a bit everything is printing normal both through the spool and via print preview.
    Thank you!

  • Ordered prints. Several were cut off at edges or were printed off center. How do I prevent this in the future?

    Ordered prints from my Mac library to Apple. Several came back cut off or printed off-center. How do I prevent this in the future?

    How do I prevent this in the future?
    Before ordering any print product proof it by creating a PDF file of it according to this Apple document:    iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture.  Save the PDF file to compare with the printed copy when it arrives.
    For this book contact Apple via the 800-275-2273 phone number. Apple has been very good a correcting problems.  They gave me a refund so I could order again.
