Can't select page range to print

When I use the printer system dialog box, print all pages is the only option.  Print selection, pages, or current page are all greyed out.  Have latest software download installed (printer driver)

Hello @LimpingSkunk!
Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!
I would be happy to provide some help regarding the HP Photosmart C5550 and selecting pages during the print job.  You had mentioned you only get the option to print all pages.  Does this happen when printing any multiple page document or does it happen from specific programs?
I understand you have the most up to date drivers but the first thing I recommend is to uninstall the HP software. After the uninstall is complete it would be a good idea to perform a disk cleanup in the computer. A disk cleanup will improve computer performance and clear temporary files that may cause issues during the install of software. Once the disk cleanup is complete you should restart the computer and re-install the HP software.

Please post back and let me know if that worked for you!

  • Add a BUTTON that ONLY prints a selected page range

    Hello,
    I have a 100+ page PDF which has 32 or so 'sections' which are accessible by bookmarks.  I want to add a button that allows the reader to print ONLY the section they are in, i.e. a pre-selected page range that I embed in the button.
    Is this possible?
    If not, is there any other way to do this?  The document was originally created in Word and is broken up by Sections.
    Thanks,
    Chris.

    It's possible using a script, but the user will always be able to edit that pre-defined range, if they wanted to.
    The only option where they can't edit it is by using a script that silently prints the section, but that requires installing a script on the local machine of each user that is going to use the file.

  • Trouble printing selected page range as handout

    I am trying to print for a keynote but only want a selected page range and just cannot seem to get it to work. When I go into print and select under the pages tab the "from" button and type the range ( eg 184-189 ) I only get the option of slides with notes or outline. I want to pront as a handout with 2 or 3 sldes per page. The preview shows no pages selectde and it is unable to print.
    I've tried highlighting the slides I wish to print and trying that but to no avail. The silly thing is I did manage to get it to work this way once but now it doesn't seem to work that way. I'm frustrated as I don't want to print the whole presentation off and throw away the sheets I don't need as it seems to defeat the object of page selection. I also don't want to watse ink by having one slide per page.
    Any help will be gratefully received.

    I have this issue with my printer also
    my work around is to delete the pages I dont want printed, save this version as a separate file and the pages I want print out correctly.

  • Select page range

    Hi,
    How to select page range and run our functions with the particular pages?

    Hello Hopkins,
    I just wanted to tell you, your code is gorgeous! And your very talented!

  • Is it possible to make master pages with several  title in one file? & Can I define page range from

    Is it possible to make master pages with several  title in one file? & Can I define page range from which page to which should be specific title?

    While the number of master pages is not unlimited, you can have quite a few in any file. I've never seen the limit documented, but it's in the hundreds, or more likely thousands. There is, I believe, a page limit of 9999 pages per document, but I don't know if that includes the masters or if they are counted separately.
    You can choose a page range in the Pages panel, then assign a master to them manually, and I beleive there are some scripts floating around that can assign a master page based on the appearance of a paragraph style (for chapter start pages, for example).

  • How can I select pages to print from a Word document using the report generation 'print report' vi?

    I have researched the knowledge base and found:
    Printing A Range of Pages or Number of Copies of a Report Using the Report Generation Toolkit in LabVIEW.
    This seems to be from a previous version of LV. I am using LV2010. The instructions given do not match up with the current vi. The information did provide a tip and drilling down into  the vi I was able to insert the from/to page numbers at the printout invoke method, however this prevents the print function from working in that it can no longer find the default printer.
    The error message is:
    Error 1015 occurred at NI_ReportGenerationToolkit.lvlib:Word_Print.vi -> NI_Word.lvclassrint Report.vi ->
    error 1015 is: Printer is not responding. Check printer configuration.
    Any ideas how I can make the modification to print, for example, pages 24 through 29 out of a 32 page word document?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Hello, take a look at this article. Unfortunately the Generate Report Get Data to Modify.vi was remove since RGT 1.1.3 release. That being said, we can try to find a workaround. See "Configuring a Printer Through the Windows Dialog in LabVIEW", open the GetPrinterSettings.vi, at the PrinterSettings property node you can select the from/to page. I hope this helps.

  • Using Acrobat 9 and suddenly there is no selected page range in the print box.   Only selected PDF files or all PDF files.  Am I doing something wrong?  I need to print only three pages from the document

    There is no selected print page range in the print box.  Only selected PDF file and all PDF files.  Any suggestions?

    Well, I looked for where to delete this but didn't see it.
    NEVERMIND; I forced iPhoto to quit and restarted and everything seems fine.
    BTW, I did get one thing wrong. When I looked at both iPhoto libraries with FINDER, the active one and the archived one both showed content as far as file size goes.
    It was because I was viewing the files through Adobe Bridge that it was showing 0 GB's; for whatever reason.

  • Can't Choose Page Range when Exporting PDF from InDesign

    Hi!  Ever since I upgraded to CS6 via your subscription, I can't choose a page-range when exporting to PDF from InDesign (8.0.1).  Here's a video demonstration of the problem so you can see the bug in action:  http://screencast.com/t/kYR1ACtNi
    Are you aware of this bug?  If it's not a bug, how do I fix it?

    Alternate layouts are used for things like horizontal and vertical orientations of the same layout for use on tablets. I suspect there's some coverage in the Help files -- being a print guy I don't mess with them.
    It may be that you only have one layout and ID just shows you that one inthe dropdown. I can't recall that I ever used the dropdown to try to select the range -- I always just type what I need in the field.

  • How to type selected pages in the Print dialog box

    Hello,
    I am using ID5 with Windows 7.
    I need to provide sample pages on my web site of a book I wrote.
    I pressed Ctrl-E, named the file, chose Adobe .pdf (Print), and then typed in all the pages:
    Sec.1:1, ii-vii, Sec2:1, Sec2:20-23, Sec2:51, Sec2:72, Sec2:92, Sec2:100, Sec2:102, Sec2:116, Sec2:121, Sec2:150-156
    These are an EXACT match to what's in the Pages panel, yet ID will not make the .pdf!  I have tried typing the pages both with and without spaces in between, but am getting nowhere.
    NOTE: The first entry correctly includes a period, unlike any of the other entries.  The second entry correctly omits a section number, and the last page is indeed 156.
    Can anyone see what I've done wrong?
    I noticed today that site visitors are looking for this .pdf, which wasn't stored in my Media area as I thought, so I've got to get this done pronto because I'm losing sales!
    Thank you!

    You can also set your General Preferences' Page Numbering View to Absolute and then you can enter absolute page numbers in the export dialog, which might be easier with complicated sections and prefixes.
    The sections and prefixes are still there but for exporting and printing the pages become:

  • C6280: Can't select automatic two-sided printing

    Hi:
    I am using an HP laptop running Windows Vista 32-bit Home Premium.
    I had previously fully uninstalled my HP Photosmart C6280 all-in-one printer.
    Today, I reinstalled it using the CD-ROM that came with the printer.
    When I went to print an MS Word document, I was not presented with the normal set of
    Print options/settings to choose from.
    I could not select Automatic doubled-sided printing: it wasn't in the drop-down menu.
    When I selected Print from Word's File menu, a print dialog box opened: it's title was HP Photosmart 6200 Series Document Properties. From within this, I selected:
    Properties > Printing Shortcuts Tab > General Everyday Printing.
    in the lower right area of this panel, is a drop-down menu titled, "Print on both sides".
    It offered the following options to select from:
    Off, Manual, Left-edge booklet, Right-edge booklet.
    The option, "Automatic" was missing from this list: previously, it was directly below Manual.
    I do not remember if the Left/Right edge options were there before.
    Directly below this drop-down menu is that for selecting Orientation: Portrait or Landscape.
    So now, I am unable to do automatic 2-sided printing.
    If I click on Duplex instead of General Everyday , I briefly see the word Automatic in the menu, but is replaced with Manual. Also, for this Duplex mode, the Orientation drop-down me u is missing/hidden. I do not know if it is supposed to be that way.
    The Problem: Why do I no longer have the option to do Automatic 2-sided printing ?
    Any ideas ?
    Thanks

    This question was solved.

    The duplexer needs to be enabled in the driver as discussed in the Vista/Win 7 Duplex Printing Troubleshooting Guide here.

  • Print Booklet, can't select page size.

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm trying to print an a4 page size booklet using the print booklet feature.
    As I wan't to print full bleed, I am printing oversized a3.
    It all looks fine in the preview, but when I open in distiller and export as a pdf the spreads are broken into pages.
    Pretty much I would like the pdf as paginated spreads, instead of pages.
    Pages are not in spreads
    what it should look like (as a paginated spread)

    My screen is from CS5.5,
    In the Print Booklet dialog there is a Print Settings button wherein you would define the paper and orientation.

  • Does airprint allow printing select pages?

    airprint is working fine with Epson WF-3520 but the only option when printing from iPhone 4 and iPad Mini is the number of copies. should there also be the option of which pages to print, e.g., pages 1-2 of 6 pages?

    Some apps enable the page range selecton while others do not. You can see the page range selection here:
