CUPS cuts off bottom of first page

Consistently, the first page of any print job I send through CUPS is cut off at the bottom.
It's very subtle. Sometimes, it means a signature line at the bottom is missing. Other times, it means a line of my text document is just gone.
Also, the first page seems to be oriented slightly differently than subsequent pages. The first is a little higher on the page than those that follow, even if every page has the same content.

No. I'm telling it to use 8.5" x 11" paper.
It's not falling off the paper. It just doesn't print the whole thing.

My Deskjet 1000 J110 series is cutting off bottom parts of sentences?

My Deskjet 1000 J110 series is cutting off bottom parts of sentences. I have not had this problem in the past. It only does it to a few sentences & my headers.
What could be causing this and what can I do about it?

Hi IlianaGrace96,
There are several things that can cause your problem. I would start by reviewing the following HP Consumer Support document:
Fixing Ink Streaks, Faded Prints, and Other Common Print Quality Problems
1. Perform a hard reset on the printer. Unplug the power cord from the back. Leave it out for 30 seconds and then plug it back in.
2. Use the automated tool to align the cartridges.
3. Use the automated tool to clean the cartridges.
4. Manually clean the cartridges with a lint free cloth and water.
5. Try soaking your printheads in semi warm water for about 5 minutes.
I hope this helps.

Scanning cuts off bottom 1/2"

I have an HP OfficeJet 7410 All-in-One. When I scan an 8.5' x 11" page, using the Automatic Document Feeder, it cuts off the bottom 1/2", no matter what program I use to control the scan (the latest versions of HP ScanPro and Adobe Acrobat). If I don't use the ADF, but scan from the glass, I get the whole page. And if I scan a legal-sized page (8.5" x 14") it does not cut off anything on the bottom.
So, just to experiment, I plugged the OfficeJet into a PC and scanned the same 8.5" x 11" document using the ADF. It did not cut off the bottom. So the problem doesn't seem to be the scanner, or the scanning software. It definitely seems to be that somewhere in OS X, it's cutting off the bottom.
My workaround is to place the 8.5" x 11" pages to be scanned into clear plastic document sleeves. Each is 11.5" long, and when I use these, I get a scan of the entire document.
Is there some way I can get the MBP to scan an entire 11" page without my having to place each one in a plastic sleeve?

Hi Roger,
Just want to clarify some of the above.
And if I scan a legal-sized page (8.5" x 14") it does not cut off anything on the bottom.
From the Auto Feeder legal size works? Or did you mean manually placing a legal size sheet on the glass?
So the problem doesn't seem to be the scanner, or the scanning software.
It could still be the software. The OS X software isn't a direct copy of the Windows software. It has to be ported, which gives plenty of opportunity for errors in one version that doesn't exist in the other. I've noticed with other HP products that the Mac software almost always has flaws the Windows counterpart doesn't.
My workaround is to place the 8.5" x 11" pages to be scanned into clear plastic document sleeves.
Scanned via the Auto Feeder or manually on the glass?

Vertical Pictures Cut Off in Photo Album Page

On my photo albums page, the picture I want to use as the first picture is a vertical picture. But on the albums page, the albums are all horizontal. So when someone goes to look at my albums page, they just see these cut-off pictures with heads missing. Is there a way to change the orientation of the albums so they are vertical? Or is there a way to edit the first picture so that you can move the picture down so at least the head is showing in the horizontal view?

Hi Kara,
the only solution I can find is to drop a vertical photo into the MyAlbums page and cover the album with it (thus hiding the other head-less photo) linking that photo to the photopage.
However this will cause the effects moving the pointer over the album cover (skim, dissolve, ...) to disappear.
As far as I know albums can't be rotated and vertical photos are cut off and you can't tell iWeb not to cut them off...
Regards,
Cédric

Acrobat Cuts Off Bottom Of pdf When Printing

I'm trying to create a printable form for a web page. I originally created the form in Photoshop 7, then used Acrobat 7 Pro to convert it to a pdf for downloading/printing. The problem is that Acrobat cuts off the bottom of the page when you attempt to print it. Here is a screen shot of the print dialog window. The "grayed out" area indicates the parts being cut off. The main problem is the bottom margin. I've tried cropping margins in Document > Crop Pages, but that seems to have no effect. Changing the dimensions in Photoshop and then re-creating the pdf has no effect, either. How can I fix the formatting so it will print correctly?
-Tnx

Do you mean Page Scaling select in the Print dialog box, ie; "Fit to Printer Margins"?

HP PSC 2355 all-in-one printer cuts off bottoms of letters

My HP PSC 2355 All-In-One Printer cuts off the bottoms of letters. Photos are fine. 3rd HP black cartrige, got worse today.
On a Mac, 10.9.3.

Hi @timed
I would like to help you with your 2355 printer. A printer reset can initiate an alignment. Please use the following document to troubleshoot the issue, and let me know the outcome of your efforts; Troubleshooting Print Quality Problems with the Diagnostic Page.
If the issue remains unresolved after following all of the steps in the link above, I recommend contacting HP.
Don't hesitate to call, although the printer may be out of warranty, the cartridges could be in warranty; therefore, there wouldn't likely be a fee for the phone support. HP will, at HP's option, either replace products under warranty that prove to be defective or refund the purchase price.
They could even determine after troubleshooting that it is a problem with the printer, in which case they may offer you a discount on a newer model.
The number to call HP is 1-800-474-6836 for Canada and US, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
To find the “Warranty Ends” date, look in the following table for the date's location on each product. The date follows the YYYY/MM/DD or YYYY/MM format, where YYYY indicates the year, MM indicates the month, and DD indicates the day.
I hope this helps.

HP2540 Inkjet - Cutting Off Bottom Half Of Text

Just purchased a new HP2540 Inkjet and finished the set up. Whatever I print, including the diagnostic report, the bottom half of the text on every few lines has been cut off. Gone through all the diagnostic checks, but still cuts off the bottom half over third sentence. Ridiculous. Any suggestions out there?

I have a user experiencing the same issue. We have removed the drivers and reinstalled them but the problem persists. Steps we have tried.... Completely uninstalled all the HP software and printer driversRebootedReinstalled drivers and printer softwareI have verified the printer has the latest firmware. It doesn't matter what program we are printing from, approximately the bottom 4th to 3rd of the photo is cut off. I do have examples I can send that show the problem. Our organization buys a lot of printers and it would suck to have to start ordering from a different vendor for future buys. But if HP cannot fix this issue, we'll have to switch to another brand. Since we cannot attach in here I have uploaded the examples. The first is an XPS printout from a word 2013 document. When it's printed it comes out as shown in the scan.pdf file. (We printed it and then scanned the printout to a PDF). It is pretty clear that the bottom of the picture is cut off. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks. Brian

HP Deskjet 5740 Color Inkjet Printer cutting off bottom half of letters when printing text

My Printer is cutting off the bottom half of letters when printing documents. I have tried all the troubleshooting options given on the computer and have changed out the ink cartriges as well. I am hoping SOMEONE might have a solution to share. Thanks in advance!!!

Insert Document name at bottom of first page

Is there a way to insert the document name as automatic text at the bottom of the first page? This was a simple "automatic text" script that Word has had for years. All of our documents are saved with names relating to what the document is and where it gets filed. Our paper folder structure is pretty much identical to the folder structure of our file server. It is very convenient to have the name of the document printed at the bottm of the first page so that when it comes time to filing our hard copies, one knows exactly where to file it.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hello all - I appreciate your responses. Brooks - you are correct. That is exactly what I am looking for. From a filing perspective, that is an amazingly useful feature. I am going to check into the scripting path. If Pages is indeed scriptable, I would be shocked if there is not a way to provide this feature.
Gerry - you are correct about the saving part. In Word, you must save the document first, close it, and reopen it before printing in order for the file name to appear.
Thanks again to everyone who replied.
John

Unwanted Blank Page When Table At Bottom of First Page

I have an RTF template which has a table with the typical for loop as the row generator and a totals row after that. There are no line breaks after the table, and the table's paragraph is set to single line spacing with 0 pt spacing before and after.
When the table reaches the bottom of the first page, but does NOT go onto the next page, there is a blank page at the end of the report. Any ideas on how to eliminate this?
Thanks in advance,
Kurz

I have an rtf template which is used to print output in pdf format. I have a table which has many rows which displays data for each record. In order to avoid breaking the page in between the rows of a record , i have added an outer table with single row and column and pasted the data table inside it and changed the row property of outer table to 'Allow Rows to Break Across Pages' to unchecked. It works fine only if the first record set length does not exceed a full page. IF the first record expanded to more than one page, it leaves a blank page at the very first and start the record at the second page. Can you please advise how to solve this issue. Its very URGENT please..

Cfreport cutting off lines on multiple pages created with report builder

I have a report built with report builder and it appears that if you set the body to "stretch with overflow" that cfreport will "cut off" a line or two every time it paginates see attached for a simplified version of the report, I have removed all but the body on this (actual report has a watermark, report header, page header and page footer ...the problem is pretty apparnt with this scaled down version as you can see it's missing text from one page to the next ..any ideas/suggestions/known bug?? You can see a sample of the issue here: http://www.arroyoc.com/onlybody.pdf

Hi Helen,
As per my understanding, I think this issue is caused by width size is not appropriate in the report. To narrow down this issue, please make sure that Body Width + Left margin + Right margin <= (Page width).
If the tablix is a matrix, because of the column group can expand to multiple columns, we should according to the following rule:
Body Width + Extra expanded column width + Left margin + Right margin <= (Page width).
Besides, please make sure there are no extra page breaks before each “R”. To check whether the issue is caused by the letter “R”, we can try to use another field to replace the Company Name field.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Katherine Xiong

Problem: software changes my Outlook contact info when synchronizing (cuts off part of first name)

When I sync, the BB software cuts off part of the first name of my Outlook contacts. The problem seems to happen when I have a space in the first name (eg: First Name - Bill & Jane). I have several of my contacts listed that way so I can see spouses of contacts easily. I have never had this problem before with my other MS Op phone. Thanks for your help.
Message Edited by friedchicken on 01-05-2009 01:23 AM

I found out what happens.
Wherever the First Name filed on the BB contains a Blank (or Space) character, when synchronizing to MS Outlook, the content of the field is divided in two parts: the first part, before the Blank, is transferred to the Outlook First Name field, the second part, after the Blank, is transferred to the Outlook Middle Name field.
This goes beyond the useser's intentions and is a nuisance, becuase you can of course turn around the problem after synchronization, by exporting the MS Outlook contacts to MS Access, or MS Excel, put the two fields together, and reimport them into MS Outlook. But you need to do that each time yoy synchronize.
It would be nice if RIM could fix the issue.

Why does ipad cut off left side of page?

What do you do to see left side of page which is cut off?

If you have Zoom enabled, that could cut off the left side of the screen, but everything would appear very large on the screen as well.
Settings>General>Accessibility>Zoom>On. You want to turn it off. Double tap three fingers and drag to change Zoom. You can see the instructions below.
If that's not the problem - try rebooting the iPad.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Adobe Pro X - cutting off bottom and sides of document

Hi.
I had to convert a word doc to a PDF (I managed that)
I then had to put a video in the PDF - so I installed Acrobat Pro X to do this
However, since getting Acrobat Pro X, the bottom and sides of the document have been cut off, and there's a white border along the bottom and right hand side.
I can't uninstall Pro as I need to put videos into the PDF, but I can't submit PDFs with the bottoms and sides cut off either.
Please please can somebody help me?
Thanks so much

Go back to the original WORD document and convert to PDF using either the Adobe PDF printer or PDF Maker (Adobe menu item in WORD). If that solves the problem you are fine. If not, then give us details on how you did the conversion.
