Appleworks, selective printing!

I just created several invoices in Appleworks for my wife and they won't print. I can print any other saved document just fine. I restarted several times, re-saved the docs, trashed the prefs. One thing different I noticed is that the download bar that shows up when you hit print just flashes on for an instant instead of staying on screen longer like normal. I'm using Appleworks 6.2.4 on a PowerBook running 10.5.8
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Rob,
Thanks so much for your help on the cmd key. Unfortunately, it didn't solve my problem. I'm trying to print a selection from a webpage and I used your cmdshift4 trick. The problem is that the selection I am trying to print a selection that is larger than the crosshair will let me highlight and when I move the crosshair up, the page does not scroll up; instead the crosshair just highlights the safari menu. I've tried expanding the web view, making the text on the webpage smaller, etc. I've even called AppleCare and they tell me there's no other way to print a selection.
I'm just so frustrated! This seems like a simple task, that even a PC can do. I thought it would be a cinch for Mac! Let me know if I'm missing something. Otherwise I'll assume that I'm just looking to do the impossible and forget it.
Thanks,
MLD

I have set up my airprint wifi printer which works perfectly with the HP eprint app. However, when i view an email and click on the top right arrow button and select "PRINT" on my ipad nothing happens????...
Also, when im viewing websites and i find something i wish to print, same again, if i simply click on the print option at the top right of the screen nothing happens... the only way I can print is if i copy the weblink of the site page then click on my HP eprint app and paste the web link, then select print, it prints off fine.. but its it such a pain to keep copying and pasting links or screen dumping emails just to print...

Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information. Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information. Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

You do not have sufficient access to your computer to connect to the selected printer

Environment
Print server: Windows 2008 R2 SP1
Clients: Windows XP SP3 + GPP
Drivers:
HP UPD PCL6 5.3.1.10527
Intermec 7.2.2
Ricoh UPD PS 3.9.0.0
Xerox UPD PS 5.216.12
Zebra 2.6.42.03
GPO Configuration - enables users to add printers/drivers from the print servers.
Background
For the last year, we've had the 2008R2 print server set up and the clients have not had any problems connecting to the print server to add printers.
Issue
Over the past ~3 weeks, we've gotten spurious reports from users stating they're unable to add a printer. The specific error displayed is:
You do not have sufficient access to your computer to connect to the selected printer.
It occurs for multiple vendors, so it's not a print driver specific issue. I've personally witnessed the problem where (using a User's account) I was unable to add Printer X out of a list of 10 random printers. 2 minutes later, still logged on
as the same user, I was then able to add Printer X which doesn't make any sense since nothing had changed.
Another user logging into the same workstation will not have any problems adding the same problematic printer. The user who had the problem can log onto a different workstation and add the same printer with no problems, so it's not a User permission
issue either.
Most of the time running gpupdate /force and/or rebooting the box will also 'solve' the problem.
Running the group policy results wizard on a few random workstations (which have exhibited this problem in the past), shows everything appears to be properly configured/enabled related to GPOs, including the
Prevent users from installing printer drivers setting per http://support.microsoft.com/kb/259937
Has anyone else ran into this problem lately?
How does one troubleshoot this issue since I can't faithfully reproduce it on demand since it appears to resolve itself after a period of time?

Haven't found the smoking gun to this problem, but I am getting closer.
Troubleshooted another PC today which was exhibiting this problem for another user. Logged onto the PC with my User account and sure enough, received the same message for the same printer. Fired up Sysinternals Process Monitor, but nothing useful
was captured when receiving the failure message. There was also another Point and Print printer which was present on the workstation (i.e.
PrinterName on PrintServerName) for my User account which stated "printer cannot be removed. Access is Denied" when I tried to delete it. Odd. Getting properties on the printer would bring up the correct info from the print server
though, so it was valid and appeared functional.
I tried running the new
MS FixIT printing tool, but it failed in full mode with an admin account.
Next, I searched through the registry for this printername which I was unable to delete. Eventually it was found at:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Providers\LanMan Print Services\Servers\PRINTSERVERNAME\Printers\PRINTERNAME
On a hunch, I deleted the entire PrinterName key, restarted the print spooler, and then was able to add the printer with no permission errors! There were several more printers listed in this registry key. I tried the same steps again:
validate receiving 'sufficient access' error.
purge printer's registry key
restart spooler
Able to add the same printer via point and print.
This solved the problem on half of the printers. The others added with no errors. The printer drivers in question are from both HP and Xerox, so I doubt it's a vendor specific issue and instead Windows (unsure if XP or 2008 though).
It would appear that Windows caches the information about the printer/driver/settings/etc from the print server in CurrentVersion\Print\Providers\LanMan Print Services\Servers\PRINTSERVERNAME\Printers\PRINTERNAME ? Why does it need to be duplicated
in both HKLM and HKCU?
Separate PC, further exploring this printer issue and the contents of the \LanMan Print Services\Servers\PRINTSERVERNAME\Printers\ keys. On this PC, I successfully ran the MS FixIt for Printing tool in Full mode and rebooted. After reboot, the

Photoshop CS5 crashes when selecting print settings in print dialog box

I work on a Mac Pro desktop with OS 10.6.4. Photoshop CS5 crashes every time I try to select "print settings" in the print dialog box. I work in a large office and our networked color printer is a Konica Minolta bizhub C451. In fact, if I hit "print" it will crash whether or not I hit "print settings" first. In CS4, there was a separate menu item that allowed you to change printer settings before going into the print dialog box. That choice is gone now, you have to select it through the print dialog box.
This is the only way I can print out color proofs for my clients. Unfortunately, I do not have administrator rights to any printer (our office has about 100 people, only IT staff can fiddle with that). What can I do to get this solved?

I think I have fixed it, though I'm not sure why this worked.
System Preferences>Print & Fax. Selected the Konica Minolta printer (the B/W printer was working fine). Changed the name. Still didn't fix it. Went back selected my newly named Konica Minolta then "Open Print Queue" (like Dave said)>print settings. Change the driver to "Generic Postscript printer." I could print, but only on letter-size paper, no other options available (need tabloid). Went back to system preferences>print & fax>Konica Minolta2>open print queue>drivers then I reselected the updated printer drivers--the same one that hasn't been working.
Now, it works.
Thanks all for the helpful advice!

I am using reader 11.0.10.32 in Win7 Professional 64 bit. I am unable to print from Reader. After selecting print all pages, the progress bar goes through the proper page count. After that a pop up window appears with the message: The document could not be printed. After pressing the OK button that pop up closes and the next pop up window appears with the message: There were no pages selected to print. After pressing the OK button, the pop up closes and the pdf document is still visible in Reader.
I can print from other programs to that printer. I can print from Reader to other printers.
I was able to print to all printers before. I uninstalled Reader and reinstalled it from the Adobe web site.
Any suggestions to make it print?
Thanks.

Is your Photoshop CS5 updated to 12.1?
Are you on Yosemite 10.10.1 or Yosemite 10.10.2?
Did you apply the recent Epson software 2.1.9 update?
What type of file is it (file format)? What bit depth and what color space?

Selection printing not printing correctly.

Every time I try do Selection printing, it doesn't print the content correctly. It will print all the pages for the web page blank and print the highlighted content where it belong in the pages. Before it would print just the selected content and nothing else.

Hello,
Thanks for the post. Windows 7 premium, can you select area using Explorer? How about Chrome or another browser? I've attached a link here to the APPLE support, I might also suggest posting this question there. Good Luck!

Why doesn't saving a print preset for selection printing work anymore? It previously did up to version 2.

I regularly like to highlight areas on web-pages, select print/name a print preset as "Print Selection" and check-mark 'Print Selection Only' of Options under the Firefox sub-heading. Then when I wanted to quickly print a selection instead of a whole web-page, I just highlighted an area, activated print, selected "Print Selection" and then checked print preview to view the selection before printing. That worked from version 2 only.
Now in version 3 +, all above can be done '''except''' the check-marked 'Print Selection Only' option in the Firefox sub-heading keeps resetting itself, even IF you have saved it check-marked as a print preset. Selecting the saved preset "Print Selection" next time will print (preview) the whole web-page, and not what was highlighted (selected) for printing. Why was this feature turned off?

PDF as default selection for Select printing cotrol (for Web)

Hi
Can someone point me to righ direction? What we are trying to do is, in Infoview, set PDF as default selection for "Select printing Control (for Web)", so that each user does not have to do this in preferences in infoview.
Is it possible to do so? If yes, how?
Thank you
Regards
IMS

Take a look for a .vbs sample that synchs the ADMINISTRATOR preferences to all users on the BOE platform.
You can schedule this as a PROGRAM OBJECT in InfoView so that it runs on a regular schedule to apply the change to new users.

HELP!! Canon Pixma MG2220 has no response when I select print or try a test page

I recently bought a Canon Pixma MG2220 printer for my home. When I installed the software and hooked it up to my laptop (toshiba with windows 7) and selected 'print' to try it out, nothing happens. The display just keeps flashing oddly like in a circle and nothing prints. When i tried a test print to diagnose the problem, nothing also. I tried several times yesterday and when I turned the printer on today it spit out the test page from yesterday. Am I missing something? I don't really know much about printers or drivers... Is it something simple that I keep overlooking?

Hi Tiffany11x,
The spinning symbol you see is the printer processing your data from the computer. Since it is taking a long time to print a test page, we could be dealing with a communication issue. Have you tried a different USB cable? A shorter good quality cable around 4 feet is ideal. Also, try connecting the printer to different USB ports on your computer to see if that helps.
Finally, to ensure that the hardware is functioning properly, make a basic black and white copy with your PIXMA MG2220. Keep an eye out for the spinning symbol again. A normal copy should only take a few minutes to process.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to Contact Us!

The selected printer connection method is incorrect. Select the....... ERRO

Just upgraded to 10.5. I'm setting up a few printers and a plate maker. Got everything setup as far as I could tell but one machine wont work. It's an ImageRunner 8500 from Canon. When I try to print to that printer I get this:
The selected printer connection method is incorrect. Select the correct printer connection method in printer list, and then try to add the printer again.
Not what thats about. In the printer list, It shows up there with everything else that is connected via Appletalk. I got the PPD for the Konika Minolta CPP500 installed and it prints fine... any ideas? Thanks,
Chris

Hi John
I tried Appletalk but that printer does not appear. However LPD does work. I think the problem was on checking my other Macs in the office, there is no way of telling whether they are connect via IPP or LPD as the set up appears the same, i.e. IP address. When I tried to add my the printer again, I had forgotten how we set it up originally.
Many thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Change paper size before selecting print preview

I want to change Paper Size prior to selecting Print Preview. That is not possible in Firefox. Can Paper Size options be added to Page Setup and/or Print Preview? Please fix.

You might be able to set that thru your Printer Preferences, so look there from within Firefox first. {Ctrl + P} then hit the Properties button, on the Paper Tab you should be able to set the Paper Size.
If not, give this a try:
type about:config in the URL bar and hit Enter
Pref Name = print.printer_your_printer_name.print_paper_height - 11.00
and print.printer_your_printer_name.print_paper_width - 8.50
Is that what you see? If you see those "Letter" measurements, try re-setting the main pref, and let Firefox reacquire the info from your OS.
in about:config
Preference name = print.print_printer
Right-Click and select Reset, then restart Firefox.

Appleworks, selective printing!
