Cant print from Pages

I cannot print anything from Pages. I can from my email. Any Suggestions?

Do you get a dialog window or pop-up window when you choose Print in the File menu?
Maybe you have to Add Printer so Pages knows which printer to use.

I cant print from firefox 3.6.6. anymore (but it works for emails), I'm on OS X 10.5.8

I cant print from firefox 3.6.6. anymore (but it works for emails), I'm on OS X 10.5.8:
URGENT, I NEED TO PRINT TODAY !
whenever I need to print something from a web page it doesn't connect to my printer (Samsung ML-1270) but my printer works fine and I have no problems printing e-mails
== a while ago already with older versions of firefox, but I didn't realize the problem is firefox so I can't tell exactly when it started

Posted this elsewhere too; odd thing is both Safari AND Chrome work just fine. Did the suggestions but nothing fixed it, including deleting the app and trying to downgrade to a couple of versions back.
Printing or even print preview on FF results in a blank page. Tried updating the "Add On" but that didn't do anything either. May have to give up on using FF. This is for my mother-in-law's machine and it works fine on my MacBook Pro at home. She's using an iMac with OS X 10.6.4 and this started with a recent upgrade.

Why can I not print from pages but can if I copy to text edit, I get "printer off line message " from pages ?

Why can I not print from pages but can if I copy to text edit, I get "printer off line message " from pages ? I use HP wireless printer .

Are you sure you have the right printer?
In UNIX/OSX printers are virtual links to devices and even with the same name can be trying to reach a printer via another network address, so it thinks it is another printer.

Cant print from Word/Excel/Outlook to Onenote (Office 2010)

Have a weird problem. The problem started quite resently....for a lot of users in our domain!
As the title says I cant print from word/outlook/... to onenote.....the only thing i can print from is IE10 to onenote (all other printers work ofc pdf/physical and so on). But if someone has IE8 I doesn't work for them either...
I have the printer under "printers and fax" so its not "gone"....I have tried to repair Office 2010+reboot with no success. AND i have the XPS document Writer present/working aswell.
When i try to print i can see the "printing-icon" in the lower wright corner, so something is obviously "happening"....but if i put my marker there it only says "0 printing jobs for %username%"....and yes i'm currently sitting
in a domain, i'm admin at my computer to(Windows 7 Enterprise).
I'v tried almost everything i could find i terms of repairing and checking the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt\Ski&cka till OneNote registry key (but that's for IE...and that's working correctly).
Now here's the fun part....if i run winword.exe as administrator (rightclick+Run as administrator) it works!
But that's not a solid workaround....
Anyone knows how to fix this? And as i'v explained...tried to repair several times....restarted services....check so XPS function is enabled and so on and so on...
//Regards Andreas

Hi,
According to your description, I selected the situations which your said above.
1. A lot of Domain account could print from is IE10 to Onenote, but IE 8 not.
2.When Domain account print to Onenote, but it hanged.
3. Word works well if runned as administrator.
From above, I think the printer setting was Ok, beacuse you could print something by using Onenote to physical printer.
As far as I know, OneNote stores a raster and a vector format for the printout images. It will first load the raster image (quicker to load) then quickly switch to vector image (hi res/sharper). The image you see for a split second is the raster
image and then vector format fails to render. I believe you did not lose any data, just that it fails to render due to a configuration issue.
OneNote uses .NET to render the vector format and I have seen cases where the installed .NET version or not installed .NET updates would be a problem. I recommend you first make sure you have
Win7 SP1 and Office and .NET updates that show up in Windows Update are all installed and retry after that.
And then,please check the link:http://www.onenote-tips.com/printfails.html, it may be help for you.
If the issue exists, Please use process monitor to selcet the log when the issue occurs.

I get a printer error every time I try to print from Pages 5.2

Over the past few days whenever I try to print from Pages, I get a printer error (on the printer) and it won't print. Pages is version 5.2 and I am printing from an iMac (2009) with Mavericks to an HP Laserjet. I am not the only one in my office to have this issue.

- OSX and Pages versions:
OSX 10.9.2
Pages 5.2 (update is most recent)
- is iCloud file sync On for Pages
Yes. But doesn't seem to affect printing (both iCloud files and files from computer wouldn't print)
- copy of a document shows an error in Pages when printed
I don't really understand this. No errors appear in Pages or on the computer/printer dialog. The error occurs at the printer.
- details about workflow before the error occurs; was the file edited
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. No consistent workflow patterns that result in this error. The only consistency I have found thus far is files with more than one page.

I select "reverse" and printer still prints from page 1; how do I print the last page first, etc

I select "reverse" so the printer will start printing on the last page and end on the first and it still prints from page 1 leaving me to cplace all the pages in order manually. How do I do this. My last HP had no problems; I have a 6100
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Please try this:
Enter Control Panel > Devices and Printers.
Right click the printer icon, click Printing Preferences.
Select the Advanced tab.
Set the Pages Order as Front to Back.
Additioanlly, verify the same setting apply for the used program as customized preferences may kept for a specific program:
Open the File you would like to print, the click File > Print.
Click Preferences and verify the page order set as Front to Back.

Cant print from internet on my d1660.

cant print from internet without restarting the spooler. and have lots of trouble then. usually prints ok from desktop office.

Have you ever had another printer installed on this computer? If so, it is possible that the wrong printer is selected in some of your software settings.

My printer is connected to airport by usb but i cant print from my iphone wirelessly even though my iphone is connected to the network..my macbook pro prints wirelessy

help
cant print from iphone but can print from macbook pro wirelessly thru airport extreme
why cant i print off the iphone

The iPhone cannot print to a device that is connected to the USB port of an AirPort router unless you install an App like Printopia.
Printopia - AirPrint to Any Printer - Print from iPad - Print from iPhone ...
I like this App because it works for me and there is also a free trial, so that you will know if it will work for you before you buy.

CAN NO LONGER PRINT FROM PAGES SINCE UPDATING

Just updated macbook running snow leopard it is now 10.6.8
and pages wont allow me to print documents
have tried some of the answers others have provided but to no avail
the printer drivers are there as can print from web pages and other stored documents that do not need pages to open
at a loss what to try next

What exactly have you tried as suggested by those other answers? The usual cause with Pages is that you have the trial of iWork installed & it is past 30 days. You need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user. Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his box.com account in for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items > uninstall iWork '09.zip.
Also, please do us all a favor & don't use all capitals in your posts, either the body of the post or the title. All caps is the internet equivalent of shouting & is very hard to read.

Problem with exporting and printing from pages to PDF

I have a problem with my Pages
My font will not be embeded in my pdf files.
I have saved as a ps file and in to the destiller and my fonts are missing.
I need to send my file to the print shop but they will not accept my file and i now understand why.
fonts are missing...
Is there a workaround.
I have no problem in Indesign or quark but pages.....
I need help
thanks a zillion

The font is coming from a notation software Sibelius 4 and is namned opus
Hmmm ... Sibelius is a music notation software and notations are marked up in MusicXML. Presumably the font file is an SFNT with TrueType splines, but it is probably not installed in OS X system folders - rather in an internal Sibelius application font folder. So presumably you do not see the font in FontBook and OS X font auditing does not apply to the font.
Sibelius exports EPS files, right? If memory serves, an EPS is still legal even if the font resource is not embedded. And in any case, we know from the behaviour that the font resource is not embedded for some reason. So how do you get Sibelius to put the font resource inside the graphic ... normally there is a button in the EPS export procedure that gives you the option to Embed All Fonts.
You do not seem to get this button, though. Or why else would you not have checked it already and the problem would have gone away already.
The next point in troubleshooting this is that you are not following the path that would let OS X detect that an external font resource is not embedded.
I go from pages-print-printer- acrobat Pro 8-save as Pdf-x
What you are doing here is telling Pages to tell OS X to generate a PostScript program within which is nested your Encapsulated PostScript program with the call to an unresolved external font resource.
So why does Acrobat Pro not detect the unresolved external font resource? Hmm ... did you try the Preflight option in Acrobat 8 Pro? It should provide information on unresolved embeddings.
I have also tried pages-print-printer- acrobat Pro 8 and save pdf as postscript and put the postscript file in destiller 8 pro with defalt setting high quality print
The whole problem with EPS and PS is that this sort of situation is possible in the first place (plus, what is worse, the PS program can include custom additions to the graphics model that then fail in the PS interpreter whence Apple GX normalizing, Adobe Distiller normalizing, and Apple Quartz normalizing). You want to get as far away from EPS and PS as possible, believe me.
So, you have not done what I posted that you should do in the first place. If I were you, I would first get rid of the problem that the EPS is making a call to an external font and then get rid of the problem that the PostScript is preserving the external call.
To get rid of the problem that the EPS is preserving an external call, simply open the EPS in Apple Preview which includes a NORMALIZER for EPS/PS, and then save out the graphic as PDF. Alternatively, if you don't trust Quartz for some reason, set up a hotfolder for Distiller, make sure the option to embed all fonts is enabled, and convert the EPS to PDF.
Now replace your EPS in Pages with PDF in Pages, and don't save PostScript to disk but save PDF to disk through the proper procedure which is File > Print > PDF > Save as PDF/X [for your custom configuration of the PDF/X-3 filter considering that no sane person in North Europe prints lowend US SWOP, we use ISO].
If you begin by telling OS X that you want PDF within which fonts are supposed to be embedded ALWAYS, then you have started the right way. Otherwise, you have not told the operating system what you want to do, and this then leads you into places where you are unlikely to have the expertise to troubleshoot problems.
So, forget placing EPS in the first place, place PDF. And forget saving PostScript to disk, save PDF to disk. If that does not sort your problem, here is the dirty solution for professional prepress.
Adobe Photoshop has an EPS rasterizer that has wide tolerances for poor PostScript programming (so does Adobe Illustrator 6 and higher by the way).
Therefore, if an EPS is posing problems, one workaround is to rasterize the EPS at high resolution in Photoshop and place that high resolution PDF in your layout.
Take care that you rasterize as 1 bit at the required resolution of the print provider, probably 2450 dpi. When you save the 1 bit as PDF, Photoshop automatically compresses to a very, very small file (don't be surprised if 15Mb compresses to something like 0.5Mb).
Rasterizing in Photoshop should not be necessary if you simply start by telling the operating system what it is you are trying to do. Then the operating system should be able to take the right decisions for you, and tell if you if finds problems it cannot resolve without turning to you.
Good luck,

I can't print from Pages from my iMac to my HP5510 printer

I just reinstalled iWork '08 onto my computer. I typed a document in Pages, and now it will not connect to my printer, which is a wireless HP5510. the printer is online, but Pages will not connect with it. What should I do? Need to print document for project due tomorrow!!

I recommend deleting your existing printer from System Preferences > Print & Fax, and adding it again. Better yet is to "reset the printing system" as described here: Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system
After you do that you will need to add the printer again according to the instructions here:
Mac 101: Printing (Mac OS X v10.6)

Cant print from macbook air

I am trying to print a test page from my macbook air to an hp J6480, the print queue keeps saying hold for authentification. On a side symbol, when clicked on, its asking for the username and password. I have used every name and password, so how can I delete this so I can print?

Hi brownie3200,
I understand that you are having a problem printing from your MacBook Air to the HP Officejet J6480 printer. I will try my best to help you resolve this issue. I think that the printer needs to be reset on the network.
In this document for Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection: http://bit.ly/1kAFqm0 are steps in Solution three to reconnect your printer ot the wireless network.
I hope this helps, let me know how it goes.
Thank you,

Printing from Pages 3.0.1

Anybody know why I get a a 'paper too small' error when printing in A4 landscape to a HP B9180 using Pages 3.0.1? I have had to revert to Pages 3.0, which fixed the problem. Has anybody come across this with other printers, please?

I have the same problem. It doesn't show dots on screen or when I choose "Open PDF in Preview" from the Print dialog box, but when I print they still appear.
It also happens with Mail, Numbers and Keynote but not with TextEdit or Preview (unless I exported the document as a PDF from Pages or Numbers).
It is infuriating.
