Cannot Print - "My Document" folder opens to save the page as a TIFF

Windows XP SP
Firefox: 3.6.3
For no apparent reason, when I want to print a Web page (whether or not there are images, it opens the "save as" dialogue box and the TIFF option is checked (there are no other optons). If I save it "Microsoft Office Picture Manager opens" and if I want to print the "Print Wizard" opens.
I can print .pdf files.
I can print from internet explorer.
Finally I cannot access the "reset" link on this Web site. (it states "timed out".
The last update was in April (security update).

Yesterday I suddenly developed a similar problem. If I opened FILE>PRINT it only offered "save to Microsoft XPS Document Writer" and if I clicked "save" I just got an error popup. When I opened "Print" on the Navigation Toolbar the Printer Name was shown as the XPS Document Writer. However the dropdown arrow produced a list including hp 5500 series which is my printer and when I changed the name all was back to normal. I have no idea how the name got changed to the XPS Document writer. No-one else uses the computer and I never use the Navigation Toolbar print instruction; I always use File>Print. Could it happen as part of a Firefox update?

    You have obviously not done what you think you have done.
    You have tried to open a .pages document in TextEdit which can't read them.
    If you are confused which program you are in look to the top left of the menu.
    You can either drag the .pages file onto the Pages icon on the Dock, open it from within Pages' Open dialog, double click on it or right mouse click > open with.

  • I cannot print word documents but can print all other documents

    Since updating my virus checker I cannot print word documents. I can print all other documents

    At this point my suggestion is to do a full uninstall of the old print driver and an install of the most recent version print driver which you can obtain at:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=228&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=40664...
    Please follow the uninstall procedure before installing the new driver.

    I cannot print wirelessly from Macbook Pro: this is the error message I receive /Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpII.app/Contents/MacOS /rastertoescpII failed. Can anyone help. I have been able to print on this printer for months, then yesturday out of the blue I get this error.

    I also saw this same error message above the Print Queue, ever since allowing the Epson Printer Software Update (August 2013) to install. After this update installed, I was able to print a basic Test Page from the Print Queue, but when printing from any application I only got "Looking for printer..." displayed above the Print Queue, which would stall and never print.
    2008 MacBook, 10.7.5. It used to print to my Epson WorkForce 845 wirelessly without problems, before this software update was installed.
    Changing the driver from "Epson WorkForce 845" to "Epson WorkForce 600 - Gutenprint v5.2.3" was a workaround that did allow me to print, but I wasn't satisfied with that.
    Found this better solution in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5233149?start=0&tstart=0
    (with thanks to Yuengdog1983):
    This issue may be a result of the Computer Name being left empty:
    Open System Preferences and choose Sharing.
    Enter a name for your computer.
    Even without restarting the MacBook, I was able to now change back to using the Epson WorkForce 845 driver v9.0 successfully. I never would have guessed that a Computer Name is required in order to print!

  • I have several very important school related documents on my iPad in the Pages app. Ever since i updated to iOS5, i can no longer open any documents in Pages that I made before I updated. Please help

    Without the iPad connected, open up iTunes on your computer.  Go to iTunes/Preferences/Devices and delete the backups that you're absolutely certain do not have the documents.  Refer to figure below.
    iTunes, select the iPad and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "NO" to creating a backup.  (You don't want to create a new backup that does not have the docs.)  You will then be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad.  This time, say "yes."
    Repeat all of the above as required until you get the docs.

  • I have a Macbook pro thats prints fine to my HP printer, but when I try and print from my iMac it doesnt see the pages and just prints two blank pages. Even thou the document is a number of pages

    I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500A and I had no problems printing to it from my Mac or Macbook pro. The macbook is wifi and the Mac is cable, I have recently had the printer replaced with an exact model. Since doing that I can only print from the macbook pro, when I try and print from teh mac it doesnt see the pages. It could be a 10 page document and it will just show two blank pages. I have googled the question and have tried deleating the printer and reinstalling without any luck. When I got the new printer I insalled all the latest drivers thats the only thing different.
    Could you please help
    Michelle

    Right click the printer in System Prefences -  Print & Scan and use Reset Printing System... and then reinstall the printer, should take less than 5 minutes. Here is a photo showing how to Reset Printing System....

  • Saving a Pages document: when I first save a pages document it saves and I don't know where it goes or what its name is.  I want to be asked every time I save a pages document what to name it and where to save it. How do I set this preference?

    I'll guess that you've used a page layout document & pasting created a text box. You can add more pages & create linked text boxes, but I think you'd be better of using a word processing document. In word processing documents there is a basic text layer & additional pages will be created as needed to fit the text. Take a look at the toolbar of your document. If it says "sections" for the +page icon it's a word processing document, if it says "pages" it's a page layout document.

  • Does any know what is the name of the folder where iTunes saves the iCloud cache like the songs being played, etc.?

    Does any know what is the name of the folder where iTunes saves the iCloud cache like the songs being played, etc.?

    Checked:
    when you add a song to iTunes, that song is copied to the itunes library folder (on your external drive) with all your other songs, so they are all in the same place, on that drive. you can then delete the song you added to itunes from wherever you added it, because it has been copied to the itunes folder.
    Unchecked:
    the song is not copied to the itunes folder on the external drive. this means that once you add it to itunes, you must keep the song wherever you added it from, because itunes only remembers where it is located, and does not keep a copy in the itunes folder. moving this file will make the song unplayable in itunes.

  • Why the window setting the printing disappeared when I try to select the page number of pdf file

    When I send the pdf file to the printer and try to select the page number to be printed by entering (e.g., 4-10), the page for setting up printing work suddenly disappeared.   As a result, I could only print pdf files from page 1 to the end, if I want to print any document.   I have no problem with printing word documents.  Thus, it should not be problems related to printer, right ?
    Your help is highly appreciated !

    What is your operating system?  Reader version?
    You mean the Print panel completely disappears when you enter some page numbers?

  • I'm in a multi-page document, how can i rearrange the pages or insert blank pages in front of pages? Also, is there a way to show the ruler both horizontally and vertically?

    I'm in a multi-page Pages document, how can i rearrange the pages or insert blank pages in front of pages? Also, is there a way to show the ruler both horizontally and vertically?

    Not on my document. I have a 7 page document open. The "flashing vertical bar" is at the top of page 3. I have the thumbnail view showing. I click page break and two blank pages are added to the end of my document. I have to scrool thru the pages to see that the 2 pages were added as they do not appear in the layout view... I'm not sure if it is inserting a "section" as it adds two blank pages.. But I am clicking on "INSERT PAGE BREAK".. So guess there are still a lot of bugs to fix..
    Thanks again

  • "You cannot perform this action in this region of the page" error Contribute 2.01

    Hi
    Our Contribute users are working in Editable Regions on pages
    they have permission to edit. They get this error sometimes when
    they try to create a link to another part of the website, to a page
    out on the Internet, or to a document on their computer.
    Usually they can succeed if they publish the page as is then
    edit it again, but not always.
    There is no noticeable network lag. The message appears
    quickly.
    We plan on upgrading Contribute, but don't have the go-ahead
    yet. Any suggestions about where to look for a solution would be
    appreciated.
    Thanks
    Gord

    I am having the same problem in both Contribute 4.0 and 3.0.
    I have checked the code and there is nothing odd in it. When I edit
    a page, I have found that I can create one link in the editable
    region, but then when I try to create another, I get the message:
    “Cannot perform that action in this region of the
    page.” This happens with text links, links from an image, and
    email links. It happens whether I choose "Browse" or "Choose." The
    problem also occurs when attempting to link to a file on my
    computer.
    I am the administrator of the site - it's not a problem for
    me, because I can make the links in Dreamweaver. However it is a
    big problem for our customers who want to update their own pages.
    Here is an example of a page of the site where this is
    happening.

  • When I open my iPad the page is too big for the screen and won't shrink down. The keypad has also become very 'sticky'

    Recently when I open any apps the pages are too big for the screen. They shrink when pinched but immediately become bigger again. It's very difficult to scroll too. The keypad has become very sticky. Missing letters and spaces when I type and needing to tap the keys much harder than usual

    I have the exact same problem, I think.  I was on my iPad 3's home page swiping R-L to locate a certain icon when all of a sudden the screen appeared to get HUGE.  So big I could only see one or two icons.  I couldn't even turn it off to try a reboot because after I pushed the sleep/wake button, I couldn't find the red slide bar.  I finally just had to wait for the battery to die, then recharge it, and it looked normal again.  I also spoke with several friends who haven either iPads or iPhones, and they've all had this happen to them.  I checked my accessibility settings, and Zoom was already off.  So what is causing this problem for so many people, and what can we do to prevent it?  Please help.

  • V4.1 "You cannot perform this action in this region of the page" Bug?

    I am receiving an "You cannot perform this action in this
    region of the page" error when I try to add a link to an image. And
    yes I am in an editable region.
    The weird thing is, for the images that already have links, I
    can edit them successfully, but if I remove them I cannot add a
    link back to it.
    This site was originally being administered using contribute
    3.11 but the client is now using 4.1 could that have something to
    do with it?
    Thank you,

    I was also having this problem but I was able to confirm that it wasn't old code or javascript problems. In the process of troubleshooting we realized that some links were editable and others were not. Turns out all the links that used PHP (in this case an echo for the site url) were the ones that were uneditable.
    Since I've been creating pages and content with this method for years and have only had a problem in the last month, I don't really feel like this has been "solved". I certainly don't want to go back and edit all my pages using php for site organization but at least this will allow the client to make edits for now.
