Can Address Book sort/Print by address?

Is this possible in Lion AB or do I need a 3rd party
application?
Thanks, Tom

Thought of a workaround - to sort/print by Address, put it
in the First Name field, then add/reename other fields
to suit. Works fine.

Cannot print from Address Book! Print freezes and will not proceed.

I want to print an address list for Christmas cards. When I select the Group, select all and select Print I get the option box. I then select my printer and use the down arrow to open the dialog box that shows I am printing from Address Book and gives the different forms I can use (ie list, label, envelope) as well as the fields to include in the list. Once I have everything selected I click the Print radio button. All of the information under the Address Book options line disappears. Print remains highlighted and my printer Que never opens or appears. If I manually open the printer there is no print job showing. At this point the Address Book application is frozen. I cannot select cancel on the print dialog box (I can click it, but it does not highlight and it does not close the dialog box! In order to get out of this situation I have had to close Address Book. The quit option on the menu does work and Force Quit is unnecessary.
I actually spoke with AppleCare on this issue on Friday 05 Dec 2008. The tech I spoke with knew of no other such situations, but when I started checking on this discussion page I see a posting from REECO from clear back on 24 Sept 2008. His posting can be found at http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8161605&tstart=0
The technician had me do several things. One was to pull my Caches folder out of my system Library folder. He also had me remove some Address Book preference items. The end result of these actions was a Mac Pro that would not boot! (The failure followed an Address Book crash with a "KERPROTECTIONFAILURE" and the message that some QualityMedia plugin might have created the problem!)(I could find no such plug in either on my system or via Google search!) The tech had asked me to boot to safe mode by booting while holding down the shift key untill the spinning gear appeared. The machine never progressed to a successful boot! I ended up having to use a 2nd hard drive and physically place it in internal slot 1 on my Mac Pro proceeding to reinstall Tiger! The bad news is that this did NOT solve my printing problem.
If I am attempting to print from a new install with just the Apple address card and the Owner's card in Address book the print proceeds fine. Once I import my data I am back to the same print failure.
Some diagnostic steps I have tried. I have tried USB local printers and bonjour printers. I have used Epson and Canon printers. I have tried to print to a PDF. I have tried printing from another computer (12 inch PowerBook) with identical results!
At this point I am going to call AppleCare Monday morning and see if anyone there has any more suggestions. Any suggestions this forum has will be received gratefully!

I was having the same crash or "just not print" problem as seen in other posts. I was able to fix it however, by making changes in some of the address cards I was going to print. By editing the "parent", "child", "spouse" fields which will get added to the name line of the label, I was able to get labels to print (or pdf preview) without difficulty.
I did not try and determine exactly what the problem was, but basically did a data cleanup. Since I didn't know that those fields would print, I had previously included information beyond just a name in the fields, like birthdates and such, eg. "Jimmy - 12/1/05". After either removing the fields entirely where I didn't really need them, or just cleaning them down to names only, they printed just fine. I'd considered trying to disable the feature entirely but the data cleanup was not hard for a dozen or so names.

Address book will print 'famil' but not 'family'??

I use Address Book to send out Christmas cards to our clients. When I print out the envelope I would like it to say for example 'Bill Jones and family', but I do not want 'and family' to show in the address book window, so I cannot use the suffix field. When I type 'famil' in the 'father' template field it prints as 'Bill Jones and famil', however when I type 'family' it ignores the field and will print as Bill Jones only. This goes for daughter, spouse, brother, etc. I have tried adding a space before or after 'family' but there is no fooling Address Book. Any ideas?

BTW Address Book will print fomily, fimily and famili, just not family in the spouse/parent field. This is the weirdest thing I have ever seen! It makes no difference if I use capitals, and it will print family as a name or an address.

UNBELIEVABLE ADDRESS BOOK label printing still archaic

Unreal. Address book label printing is a joke. So they still have not looked at the several phonecalls with suggestions i left with techsupport in regards to the fact that you CANNOT change the position of the label you want an address printed on, therefore wasting a whole avery sheet for just one label everytime you print. What a way to save the environment Apple. Think different.

Yes, this is incredibly silly. Drives me nuts everytime I want to print a label, so I do it in Word. Dumb.

How can address book and local folders stored on JunoInternet program be imported into Thunderbird?

Have been using Juno for email for years. Juno Internet program on my PC locally stores address book and saved emails in local folders. Want to switch to Thunderbird for emails. Can address book and local folders stored via Juno program be copied to Thunderbird? If so, how, plz.

If you are installing TB on the same computer as the Juno mail, the installation / start-up process offers the choice to import from another mail program.

I have my printer email address, but I can not see my printer listed when I login to hpeprint.com

I have my printer email address, but I can not see my printer listed when I login to hpeprint.com

I will need some more information in order to assist. What model of printer do you have? Different printers have different features such as the ability to display the printer's ePrint address on the front panel of the printer. The website that the printer can be viewed at is eprintcenter.com. Click on this link here to see the sign in page. Have you signed up and register the printer at this site? Is the email address for the printer one that you have customized? Or is one consisting of what appears to be random letters and numbers?

How can i print just one page of photo book without printing the entire book

how can i print just one page of photo book without printing the entire book

Jim,
Take heart. We can help.
First turn on page view so you can see how the content of your sheet fits on the page(s). A Numbers document contains sheets (listed on the left) which in turn contain tables, charts, text, and graphics. Select the sheet you want to print on the left, then enable page view by selecting the menu item:
"View > Show Print View":
Now you should see your content and how it fits on one, or more, pages. If thie content is too big for one page use the controls and the bottom left of the window to expose the sheet controls:
Here a table is too big to fit on one page:
slide the "Content Scale" slider so the content fits:

Your screenshot is not visible.
Anyhow, try a different browser. What were you using?
Firefox is known to work well with the download manager when other browers fail.

Can I order photo books or prints for shipping to Canada?

Will the iPhoto photo book and prints deliver to Canada? Is there an extra cost for shipping?

I think Skizcanada is asking if you can order the new iPhoto books from iPhoto for iOS. This new feature only became available yesterday. The Canadian iTunes (web) store indicates that the book feature is available. (Not sure if this link is going to stick.)

SAPConsole can address to 2 SAP System ?

Hello,
The possibility exists that can address SAPConsole to 2 SAP systems at once?
Or is always directed to a single SAP system?
Thanks,
Enrique.

Hi ,
If you are asking whether you can connect to two SAP systems with a single click on SAP logon pad then no. At any given point of time it will connect to only one SAP system, no matter even if there are two sap instances installed in the same server.
This is defined by the ip address and system number.
Regards,
Ravi.

I hope it's Kappy reading this. My HP Laserjet successfully installed but can't create a print queue...

Hello Kappy - Thank you for persevering with my printer issues. Firstly, I use Firefox, recently updated & as yet have not discovered how to monitor downloads. The software for HP Laserjet 2200 was eventually automaticallly, and therefore correctly, installed.The Add Printer Pane accessed via the + button in the Printer & Scanner window is blank - the Name & Location and Print Using & Add areas are all grayed out, therefore I can't locate the printer driver even though it is in the Printer folder. I messed around with HP Direct Protocol & Line Daemon functions, entering my IP address, just to see if I could locate the printer driver - I could. However, I get a pop-up window which says 'Unable to verify the printer on your network' but it gives me the option of going ahead anyway, which I did. I was able to create a print queue, able to give a print command, the printer window opens, but the printer appears as 'busy', but of course it's not printing. To look at the issue from another perspective: previously I was running 10.5.8 on my old Power Mac G5 and a week before I shifted over the iMac I paused the printer but when tried to resume printing I got a pop-up message saying IPadmin > enter administrator name + password. Which of course I couldn't do - I discovered this was a bug afflicting10.5 & 10.6 operating systems; the only way I could get around it was by re-creating myself as a new administrator, which I did, and got the printer going again. So, if I have a "Network" printer perhaps there's another route to get the driver recognized... What do you think?

How do I convert an e-mail into a Word file that can be edited and printed?

I received an e-mail from a relative that I want to convert into a Word file that can be edited and printed?

Go to appleid.apple.com to manage the ID, sign in. If you are using two-step verification on the ID, select the Name, ID and Email Addresses section, then change the birth date on the bottom right. If you are using security questions instead of two-step verification, select the Password and Security Question and answer the two security question to access and change the birth date. At the present time you may not be able to enter the correct birth date, but you should be able to change it to 1/1/2001, which will have child ID status.

Can't find a printer driver for LaserWriter Select 360?

My older G4, which I just upgraded from OS 9.2 to OS X10.3.9 (I was reluctant to leave PageMaker), doesn't have a printer driver for my Apple LaserWriter Select 360. It finds my Epson 2200 with no problems. I've tried two shareware programs. The first seemed to say that Apple Printer Drivers were missing and that it had reinstalled them (but I don't remember the name. I found it in one of the threads here). But there was no sign of the LaserWriter when I tried to print. The second program I tried was Pacifist, figuring I could just reinstall that one printer driver from the Panther disks. But I couldn't see it anywhere though there was two Epsons, Hewlitt Packard and others. I tried the Apple website, but had no luck. I know there is one because two other computers we have in OS Xs can recognize the printer. Is there a driver out there I can download or is there someway I can get it off the other computer I have that is in 10.3.9? It's really frustrating to have to transfer the regular stuff I want to print to another computer.
Thanks!! Jane
G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

We're halfway there...maybe! The printer shows up on the list, but when I try to print something (I tried an InDesign file, also a Word one), the computer sends the file and the printer starts, but then puts the job on hold (the green light on the printer never blinks). If I click Start Job, the same thing happens again.
When I looked at Help and found "Setting up to print to an IP Printing network printer," it said to "type the IP address or DNS name for the printer in the Printer Address field." I looked through my "User's Guide" and didn't know what that was. It wouldn't let me "ADD" the printer without one so first I typed in the whole name of the printer that was on the list below. Then it let me ADD, but not print. Then I tried it again with the word "home." Same thing, it added the printer but wouldn't let me print.
One other question I had was when I got to the Add Printer, IP Printing, I had to choose a "Printer Type." It was on LPD/LPR so I left it. I didn't know what any of the choices meant. Perhaps that was wrong.
Now that the LaserWriter is on the list, can we make it print?
Thanks so much, Jane

Can't create a print queue on OS 10.7 via HP driver installed by Apple

I've ust bought a reconditioned iMac and am getting applications up and running, but I'm unable to get my HP Laserjet 2200DN printer working. The Add Printer pane (Print & Scan Preferences) remains blank: Name & Location and Print Using & Add areas are all grayed out, therefore I can't locate the printer driver even though it has been installed in the Printer folder. I've messed around with HP Direct Protocol & Line Daemon functions, entering my IP address, just to see if the printer driver could be located - it could. However, I get a pop-up window which says 'Unable to verify the printer on your network' but it gives me the option of going ahead anyway, which I did. I was able to create a print queue, able to give a print command, the printer window opens, but the printer is 'busy', but of course it hasn't been given the command to print anything. Any ideas?
