8500 alignment gets off when printing labels

When I try to print out a page of labels, the print starts out fine then starts creeping up and by the time it gets to the last row of labels in is off by a half an inch. I selected Avery labels, templet 8160. It shows as 1 inch high labels which is correct.
I am using Windows 7 Pro 64 bit with the Officejet Pro 8500 A9, printing from Office 2007 Word.
NOTE: When I print the same file using Office 2007 on my old computer using my old Officejet R40 it prints out just fine!
Should I be taking this printer back for a refund?

Hi,
Open HP Solution Center:
Windows XP: Click Start , click All Programs , click HP , and then click HP Solution Center .
Windows Vista: Click the Windows icon ( ), click All Programs , click HP, and then click HP Solution Center .
HP Solution Center opens in a new window.
Click Settings ( ), and then click Printer Toolbox . The printer Toolbox opens.
Click the Services tab, and then click Align the Printheads .
Follow the on-screen instructions to align the printheads. An alignment page prints when the process completes.
The preceding is from the support documents for your HP printer.

Text getting cut off when printing to PDF from Excel

Hello,
     I've seen a lot related to this subject but nothing that shows a real solution.
     Using Excel 2003-sp3 and Adobe Acrobat v.9 Standard, the right half of the last character in the string gets cut off. It prints from excel fine.
     It's not always the text that is the right-most on the page either. An affected PDF file is attached - note the cut off "S" on the last line (NET ASSETS OF GOVERNMENTAL ACTIVITIES).
     Any assistance is appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin Murphy

Missing field when printing labels with Address Book

I am would like to print the labels for my clients Christmas Cards, using AddressBook. When doing print > label, I get all their names and addresses on the labal formt that I want but the company name is missing. How do I get AddressBook to include the field "company" into the label ?
Thanks for help.

If you need to include the company's and individual's name, here's a work-around:
1) for each such card, you put the individual's name and leave the Company field empty.
2) Put the company name in the field for "Street"
3) Put the street address, including Apt. # in the field for "City"
4) Now, put the City, State, and Postal Code all in one field: the field for "Country".
5) save the card.
When printing labels, proceed as follows:
1) Print>File>choose your Avery label under "Layout" and then click "Label."
2) Here, you make sure to check the box so it will "Print country." Don't forget this step, or the whole plan is a failure.
This works, but it only works if the card is in-putted as described above. It won't work if your cards are already set-up with the "company" field and the "name" field.

Phone is getting off when the battery reaches 20. %

Phone is getting off when the battery reaches 20.%. Please suggest what need ti be done. Is its hardware battery issue or software issue ?

Yes you can. Take it to an Apple store and they will replace the battery. If it is in warranty there is no charge. If it is out of warranty they will charge $79. But best of all they will test the battery first, and if the battery is OK they will help diagnose the software problem.
Here I am, corrected again
Thanks, Larry, for letting me know.

Photo getting cut off when printing

I am trying to print a 6x4 photo with my HP Photosmart B8550. Everytime I go to print it, it cuts off part of the picture. I created the picture in Photoshop at 6x4 and saved it as a jpg. In the preview it shows up fine but it is NOT right when it prints. Please advise.

The edges of your image will be cut off by a printer that can’t print all the way to the edges of the paper. In order to prevent this, go to the Image Size menu again and decrease the height by 1 inch (thus also reducing the width). When printed, the image will be centered on the paper. You can also choose “Scale to Fit Media” In Page Setup.

Address Book freeze or crash when printing labels/envelopes

I am trying to print mailing labels or envelopes from Address Book. I can print lists but everytime I try to print mailing labels it appears to go into a "sorting" loop and will not respond. When I try to print envelopes and hit print, it crashes. I have read about problems with smart groups but I have no smart groups. The last time I printed mailing labels I had no problem but my operating system at that time was Tiger. Any help?

I created a second entry with the spouse's name, and then to be more selective in who I send them to (so that it isn't sent to both Jones'), I added the word "Christmas" to the notes for one of them only, repeated this process for all the contacts that I needed to. Then create a SmartGroup that is looking for Christmas in the notes and print labels for that group.
Yeah, that zoom feature was completely out of whack when I was doing this too; actually, the preview pane was entirely off at times.
Another useful thing would be to be to able to specify which spot on the sheet of labels to start printing; if I've got a partially used sheet, then its a total pain to be able to start printing on the 8th label down in the 2nd row; I'd have to create bogus entries for Mr. Aaa Aaa and copy that as many times as I need to so that the printing is correctly aligned. Pretty big oversight I must say.

Notes cut off when printing, issue with margins

When I print a slide with notes, the notes complete cover the width of the page, flush left and right. My printer cuts the margins automatically (not a bleed), so those portions of the text in the notes gets cut off.
Any way to control the margins, left and right, when printing notes from Keynote?

Keynote print layout is a bit of a mess, and is well commented on by users, it prints differently than previous versions, eg in handouts the slide image is much smaller than previously, in grid, the slides are off the printable area on the left.
We are hoping this is fixed in the round of scheduled updates.

Printed photos from Aperture 3.2.1 have lines through them - don't get that when printing from iPhoto

I recently downloaded Aperture 3.2.1 and after editing a couple photos (love that process!), tried to print them. Both had horizontal lines across the entire photo. I don't have this problem when printing from iPhoto.
As an FYI, I have this problem when printing from PSE too, but worked around it by importing edited photo back into iPhoto and printing from there. I don't want to do that with Aperture, because they have much better printing choices.
I have a Canon MP 500 & a Canon IP 4300 - same issue with either one.
I contacted Canon tech support and got this reply:
We appreciate your correspondence regarding your PIXMA MP500. I am sorry that lines are printing through photos printed from aperture.
If aperture is the only program the issue occurs with then the print setting in aperture will need to be changed. You will need to use the icc profiles for the paper you are using. For details changing the print preferences in aperture please goto: http://www.redrivercatalog.com/profiles/how-to-use-icc-color-printer-profiles-ap erture-3-canon.html
I looked at the link and basically had a brain freeze. It was very complex, and I was concerned that it was for Red River papers - I use HP paper.
I called HP to get their instructions for icc color printer profiles - complete zero. They said it's a printer issue and would be happy to sell me a HP printer.
Please, can anyone help a struggling Aperture newbie? I'm so frustrated.
Thanks - Jma

Hello Kirby,
Your recap is correct. I ran Apple Software Update and both programs are up to date. I looked on Canon's site and there are no new firmware updates for either printer.
When I select "print" in Aperture, I've selected the Canon MP500. Under the "Rendering" section, the color profile offers six different selections that include the MP500. I've tried them all. They all have lines through them. There is a note, in grey, beneath the Color Profile box, that says to "Turn off color management in the printer driver". I have absolutely no idea how to do that, and I've googled it, to no avail
Under "Render Intent" I've tried both selections - Relative Colorimetric and Perceptual. Still, lines through both.
This is really discouraging. Both printers work perfectly fine - with iPhoto, so it's hard for me to justify buying a new printer. And how do I know I wouldn't have the same problem with a new printer?
Fingers crossed that this can be resolved. I have several photos I'm supposed to be printing for gifts. And if the problem is in Aperture or PSE, won't the lines still be there even if I use one of the online printing companies?

Photosmart 475 cuts top of picture off when printing

I have a Photosmart 475 and have not used it very much until now. Whenever I choose a picture(s) to print, on the screen they look fine but when they print the top of the picture is cut off. This has resulted with many heads cut off in the photos. I have it set to borderless printing and am using HP Premium photo paper size 4 x 6; one picture per sheet. I am not zooming in on the picture either. Also, I load the paper as shown in the diagram in the book. Does anybody have any suggestions as to why? Thank you.

I have seen this happen with Avery labels. Are your Margins off when you print from other programs?

Address Book - how do I remove image when printing labels?

Hi
Just getting ready to print the Xmas card labels - thought i'd add an image in the Address Book 'Print' Dialogue - then changed my mind!!!
Big mistake - there appears to be no (easy / obvious) way to remove the image!!!
Any ideas please.
Thanks

I never could figure out how to do this via the GUI and had to resort to a bit of "trickery". i.e.:
- quit the Address Book application.
- in Finder, go to ~/Library/Preferences and double click
on com.apple.AddressBook.plist ( or just type
"open ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
in a Terminal window
- in the property list editor, delete the value for
"ABImagePath" , which is under "0" in "ABCustomEnvelopeDefinitions"
- save the file
- quit the Property List Editor
- start Address Book

Double image when printing labels

I am copying in a graphic for Avery round labels. Everything looks fine on the screen, but when printed, some (not all) of the labels have the image, plus a smaller version of the image on top of it. Kind of like an inset. I have reloaded the printer software (I have an HP Photosmart c8180 All in one), used old avery forms, downloaded new avery forms, and a host of meaninless other things. Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Hi, have you tried using another program to print the image?

Hi Piet0755,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on what you mean by reinstalling iOS. If you have restored your iPhone to factory settings and tested without restoring any of your backed up data and the issue still persists, you may need to have your phone serviced. You may find the following page helpful:

When printing labels for each printed label a blank label comes out of the printer

Hello Experts
We have a CR report which is designed to prints labels for the items using a label printer. After an upgrade that we have last month the settings for this report are missing so the labels were coming out wrong.
Due to this I have had to reconfigure this report and its printing preferences and so far I have managed to make the prints fit in each label. But the problem is that if I try to print 5 copies of a label, the 5 labels come out of the printer just fine, butt after it another 5 blank labels come out of the printer too.
I have tried with all parameters in "Printing preferences", mainly in the "Material" tab but nothing works.
Thanks in advance and regards
