Desktop Printer using wrong paper format

I recently have bought a HP 2605 Color LaserJet. Many downloaded PDFs I print directly via the Desktop Printer icon.
But most of the time the Desktop Printer chooses a wrong paper format so that the top of the page is not printed and on the bottom I have a huge white border.
Any ideas?

This is a known Apple bug, and there's not really a convenient workaround. For pdfs that are different sizes than the default paper size, you can open them in Preview and print them. Or you can try holding down the option key while dragging the document to the printer - that'll bring up the print dialog and you can see if changing the paper size there works.
Hope this helps.

  • Cant print PO - wrong page format

    Hi all
    I have a smartforms to print PO.
    I encounter this problem which some PO cant be print while some other PO can be printed.
    Its quite confusing since only some cant be print.
    Below is the message:
    Form TXT_CONTACT has wrong page format.
    Message no. SSFCOMPOSER026
    Diagnosis
    Form TXT_CONTACT has a different page format than the forms output previously but has been added to the same spool request.
    System Response
    Form TXT_CONTACT ist not processed.
    Procedure
    While forms are formatted (FM SSFCOMP_OPEN to FM SSFCOMP_CLOSE), the page format must not be changed. All forms within one spool request must have the same page format.
    The first page format used, in this case paper format , is applicable to all subsequent forms.
    Please guide me.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Check the NEXT page's PAGE FORMAT what is used in the smartform and make it the same as that of the FIRST page.
    I believe the POs which are not being able to print do spill over into the next pages.
    Regards,

  • Printer forcing the paper format

    Hi ,
    A SAP script form which has the format of a DIN4 is being printed out in a printer which has US letter settings. The margins have been accomodated such that the content is visible if printed in both the US letter as well as DINA4 formats. However the printer is being forced to re set the settings from US letter to A4. Has any one encountered this before and how to resolve this without changing the SAPscirpt Paper format (DINA4).

  • Issue with borderless printing using plain paper

    Hi,I previously used hp 7000 wide format for printing borderless (edge-to-edge) on A3 plain paper from pdf or autocad or even ms word.Now I am using Hp 7612. Here i am not able to do edge to edge prnting on A3 plain paper using hp 7612 driver.My operating system is windows 7 32 bit and I have both drivers for hp 7000 and hp 7612 installed in my PC.I find the driver for hp 7000 better for me.Is there a possibility to integrate the driver for hp 7000 for my hp 7612 printer? Please need your help. 

    Hi Roshan, With step 2 you have to do the following.Open notepad just so you can paste text into a document. When you already extracted the software you just need to go to the 7Z folder.In the run box just type %temp%. There you should find the 7Z folder.When you find this map you should copy the entire rule. Just like you would copy an internet address.x Then you should go back to the driver into printer properties.There you should go to the advanced tab and click on new...  When following those steps you should paste the link you copied earlier. Hopefully this is enough information for you.If not please let me know. Bas Pootjes 

  • Error Printing using flash paper

    I have flashpaper 2.0 installed onto a windows XP Pro SP2, a
    particular user is not able to use the flash paper printer. He just
    gets Windows XP Printer Error box with 'Error printing - An unknown
    error occured'.
    There is an entry in the printer's queue, it too is marked
    with 'Error - printing'.
    When i log in (i'm an admin user) it works fine.
    Any clues on where to look?

    I have the same problem. Installed Studio 8 with Contribute 3
    and FPV2 on WIN XP PRO SP2. I can't print to FlashPaper; I just get
    the "Error-Printing" in the print queue. I have admin privledges
    but still have the problem. I have uninstalled and reinstalled
    Contribute twice. I have downloaded FPV2 drivers. I have tried
    adding FPV2 drivers through WIN XP 'Add Printer" process and always
    the same thing.

  • Printer selects wrong paper size

    when I sent a document to the eprinter it selects photo paper instead of  typing paper. How do I correct this? I have changed the preferences to no avail

    Why type of document is it that you are sending. By default our ePrint servers will print a photo on 4x6 and a pdf or .doc on a 8.5x11. As of the moment, there is no way to change this.

  • BC4J Query by example for dates uses wrong date format

    When querying by example on date fields, I get the following nested exceptions:
    oracle.jbo.SQLStmtException: JBO-27121: SQL error during statement execution.
    JBO-26044: Error while getting estimated row count for view object
    and
    java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input string.
    It would seem to be caused by the following clause added to the end of the entity object's query:
    "QRSLT WHERE ( ( (DATE_FIELD = TO_DATE('23/12/2003', 'yyyy-mm-dd')) ) )"
    which causes problems as our entity objects use a 'dd/MM/yyyy' date format.
    Is there a way we can make the query by example use the same date format as the rest of our app?

    I‘m not an expert on this but I see nobody is replying so this might help you. I've been having problems with dates as well and I‘m pretty sure that the attached formatter isn't used in find mode. That is because the java date class (can't remember which one) used by the BC4J has the format yyyy-mm-dd. I don't now if it is possible to change it but I got around the problem by writing my own domain. You can take a look at Toystore demo, by Steve Muench, that uses a custom date domain, ExpirationDate (see the code below). It is mapped to a VARCHAR column in the database but it is possible to map it to a DATE column.
    I have been watching the postings with questions about dates and I have noticed that a lot of people have problems with this but I haven’t seen an answer yet.

    * This custom datatype implements an immutable domain class that

    * expiration dates of credit cards. We could have chosen to implement
    * this as a domain that stores itself in a DATE column instead of a
    * VARCHAR column, but since the Java Pet Store demo schema stored the
    * information in a VARCHAR column, we decided to illustrate how to
    * accommodate that case using domains.
    public class ExpirationDate implements DomainInterface, Serializable {
    private Date mDate;
    private String mDateAsString;

  • Can't print using custom paper size for HP6520

    I'm trying to print Hobby Lobby RSVP cards for a wedding. The size is 5.5" X 8.25". My HP6520 keeps giving me an error that the printer has detected a different size of paper and it won't print. I've gone to Custom and set the size to match, but it still won't print. I have the paper in the bottom tray.

    Hi @Saltman1,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I noticed that you cannot print on a Hobby Lobby RSVP card size is 5.5" X 8.25" with your HP Photosmart 6520 on Windows 8. I am happy to look into this for you!
    According to your printer's specifications, this is an unsupported card size for this printer. The supported card sizes are:
    Card type
    Card size
    3 x 5 in Index
    76.2 x 127 mm (3 x 5 in)
    4 x 6 in Index
    101.6 x 152 mm (4 x 6 in)
    5 x 8 in Index
    127 x 203.2 mm (5 x 8 in)
    However, as a workaround, you might be able to assign an alternate driver by going to this post, How to Assign Alternate Print Drivers in Different Versions of Windows, by @Shane_R, and then doing a custom size print by going to this guide, Create Custom Paper Sizes in Windows 7, Windows 8, and Mac OS X.
    Otherwise, I would suggest getting the proper size of paper for this printer as indicated in the chart above.
    Hope this information clears things up for you, and have a great day!

  • HP Photosmart Premium C309g Can not print Photos using small paper tray.

    When I try to print using small paper tray, I get a message that states: "out of paper, add paper to main tray".
    I have had this printer about 18 mos but have never tried printing found the small paper tray.
    Does anyone have a solution to this ?? 

    Hi,
    Fisrt off all check if the paper tray is correctly on the unit, so take it of and replace it. Second go into printing preferances, select photo printing and find where you can select tha paper source, put it on phototray and try again.

  • Multi paper format support

    Hello Gurus
    I need to create adobe forms that should support North-America letter format as well as Europeen A4 format.
    Letter format is 8.5 inches X 11 Inches (215.9 mm X 279.4 mm)
    A4 format is 8.26 inhes X 11.69 Inches (210 mm X 297 m)
    1. Is it possible to determine the paper size based on the user location?
    2. For the header itself, it is not a huge problem. It is always at the top of the paper regardless of the paper format.
    3. But for the footer, I would like to have the footer at the end of the docuement regardless the paper size.
         Example: At paper length - 1 inch.
    4. Is it possible to horizontally centralize the body part of the form based on the paper width.
    5. Furthermore, the form should support several languages. But this is another story.
    Step by step and/or example would be highly appreciated.
    Regards
    Daniel

    Hi Daniel,
    We are using our global Adobe Forms worldwide and across different paperformat-countries (what a word).
    When we went to Mexico with our forms, which is also a US-Letter-country, we in fact asked ourselves exactly the same question. Our target was to definitely not copy the forms just because of a different paper format.
    As time was very short during that roll-out, and a solution on form-side would have needed more time for investigation than we had, we decided for the most pragmatic approach.
    All printers in that location were already standardized to HP printers. So we just implemented a setting on all printers "OVERRIDE A4/LETTER" --> YES. With this setting deployed the printers didn't stop when receiving a "wrong paper format, they just printed on US-Letter.
    In addition we changed the layout (print area) of our global forms to be a little wider and a little shorter, in order to fit on both formats.
    Now we're facing a project to replace all existing forms in US and Canada, and of course the same question arises. But also here we're lucky to have our printers standardized. So again we'll choose the printer setting approach.
    In the meantime we found some time to do more investigation on the topic. Result: using the xdc and xci configuration on the ADS server we didn't find a solution. The only thing that we still have left for investigation is doing something inside the form using Java script.
    regards

    Not sure about CR 8, can you create another printer (same printer, but different name), set that printer to default to tray 2, then send the report to the Tray2 printer name and see what happens.  (Not an elegant fix, but....)

  • Tweak color profile when printing on plain paper?

    If Im unhappy with the colors when printing on plain paper, can it be changed?
    ..this is on a five cart Photosmart Premium c410a that uses 564 tanks.
    In particular, yellow is too dark, a bit "orangy" and photos are a bit weird: sky looks slightly smoggy brown.  
    In other words my question is if its possible to  tweak the color profile the HP driver uses when printing using plain paper -- for daily use.

    Have you found a solution to this? I'm wondering if the same can be done for the photo prints as well...when I print photos, they turn out darker and have a purple-hue to them. Please let me know, I look forward to hearing from you.

  • Can officejet 6700 premium print on construction paper

    Can this printer use construction paper?

    Hello Zaf57,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are wanting to use construction paper in the printer.
    I am going to give you the Printer Specifications for the HP Officejet 6600 e-All-in-One and 6700 Premium e-All-in-One Printer ....
    Seeing the you didn't list the size and weight of the paper, I suggest you look at the Paper handling section to see if the paper you would like to use is listed.
    If it isn't listed, it is not supported.
    Thanks for your time.
