Double separator page when printing with W8 x64?

Hi all,
I am having an issue, when I print from a Windows 8 x64 machine I get 2 separator pages instead of 1. I'm assuming one is the server pcl and one is the local pcl. If I take away the pcl file on either machine I get no separator page. I've searched the internet
high and low and cant seem to find out how to stop this. It's very wasteful! Is there a way to disable the local pcl? I tried to remove it but even though I am admin on the machine and disabled UAC (in registry too), I am not allowed to delete it or rename
it.
Thanks

Yes I have! That's how I was removing the pcl.sep file. I have done so on the server and the local machine. these are the scenarios then I leave the separator field blank:
sever: c:\windows\system32\pcl.sep local: c:\windows\system32\pcl.sep = 2 separator pages
sever: Blank local: c:\windows\system32\pcl.sep
= no separator pages
sever: c:\windows\system32\pcl.sep local: Blank
= no separator pages
In Windows 7 it looks like the 1st scenario but only prints 1 separator page.

Any way to remove extra blank "separator" pages when printing in Numbers?

Hello, I've just started using Numbers '09 and noticed that for each page I have, there is an extra blank "separator" page that is added. Last night, I started a spreadsheet using one of the templates, and it's only 2 pages long, but it states on the sidebar that it's 4 pages. Those extra blank pages are only seen when you do a Print Preview. Is there a way to remove or disable these extra blank pages?
I don't want those blank pages to print, especially when there are multiple sheets within the file with those blank pages mixed in-between. Plus, I send the file to others to reference too and would like them to be able to print the pages seamlessly without having to remove any blank separator pages that are printed in-between. Seems like there should be an easy remedy to this, but so far, haven't been able to find the solution. Thanks for your help!

Hi,
Unlike other spreadsheet programs, Numbers doesn't have wall-to-wall tables. Tables have a finite size and wherever there is a table a page will print, whether there is content in the cells on that page or not. To prevent the sheets without content from printing, you need just reduce the size of the tables to what you actually are using. If you select a cell in your table and scroll to the lower right corner of the table, you will find a large handle that when dragged will change the number of Rows and Columns. Drag the handle up and to the left until it encounters content. It will stop there on its own.
Now go to the Print View mode: View > Show Print View. You will see all the pages with content and adjacent non-printing pages will be grayed-out.
Hope this helps.

Blank page when printing with black cartridge

After trying the suggested solutions to this problem on the last 20 forum pages with no luck, I took the new black cartridge out of the printer. Later, forgetting there was no black cartridge in it, I proceeded to print a page and finally got a full page printed in black. What does that mean? other than it's a messed up printer. No more HP for me. My old Epson worked for 8 years with no problems. Someone hit the nail on the head when he called the software " invasive". Does HP ever read this board? If they did, one would think they would be concerned about some very angry customers.

It is a bit difficult to diagnose your issue with absolutely no details of printer model or any other relavant data. It appears you have a recent printer with a black and a tri-color cartridge. Your black cartridge is clogged or out of ink or otherwise non-functional. When you remove the black cartridge your printer automatically switched to "reserve mode", generating black using the color cartridge. A fresh working black cartrdige should resolve your issue.

How to NOT display header details in every page when printed with PLD

Hi All
I am printing a report of all related activities of a business partner using PLD. in the printout the header details of business partner such as name, phone details are printing in every page along with contents. how to avoid this situation printing the header details in everypage except first page?
SV Reddy

Hi,
Add a formula field to the page header. The formula field will need to contain the following text on the Content tab.
CurrentPage()
Add another formula field, once again add the following to the Content tab
Field_101=='1'
in the example above, Field_101 is the field id for the first formula field you added.
Now all you need to do is link the fields that you only want printed on the 1st page to the 2nd formula field you added.

Adrian

Wrong orientation of backsides of landscape pages when printing with Acrobat Pro 9

Since I switched to Acrobat 9 I have the following problem:
Two landscape orientated documents that were printed
identically with Acrobat 8 are printed different with Acrobat 9
(backsides of the document are rotated 180 degrees). The documents
have the following properties:
Landscape doc 1:
- Media & crop box: [0 0 595 842] Rotation: 90 degrees.
Landscape doc 2:
- Media & crop box: [0 0 842 595] Rotation: 0 degrees.
I am using the identical driver. If I check the generated
postscript I see that they have a different orientation (portrait
vs. landscape) and a different viewing orienation (1 0 0 1 + 0 1 -1
0 vs. 0 1 -1 0 + 0 1 -1 0). Anyone an explanation for this
difference?

When I print, a last page is printed with a summary of document printed - file name, directory, ...

When I print, a last page is printed with a summary of document printed - file name, directory, ... Just got Windows 8. Is this something I can stop? Waste of paper and ink!!

Hi RebeccaQ,
Generally speaking, a summary page, document summary or document properties page is often generated based on a setting in the software application being used as opposed to the printer driver or menu setting. For example, in MS Word you can select to print this page with each printed document. In this case, depending on your version of Word, you can enable/disable the feature often in "Word Options", "Display", "Printing Options", "Print Document Properties".
Does this help? If not, which printer model and software application is being used when the summary is printed?

Black ink faded/Gray when printing with HP Envy 5530

When printing with my new HP Envy 5530 the black ink looks gray or faded. I tested the color and this prints dark and clear. I have power cycled, plugged into different power outlets and re-inserted the cartridge. Any thoughts...or could it just be a "bum" cartridge?
Thanks in Advance for your help...

Howdy. After tinkering around with my Envy having the same issue, I found out that after replacing my black cartridge because it was low, I was having the same issue.
Turns out the color cartridge will simulate a black in an to preserve both the tri color cartridge and the black cartridge for as long as possible, which is why even if you've never printed any color, both your cartridges should be low. Once the color cartridge starts getting low, the printer doesn't have a sensor to realize which of the tri color is mixing in the most, so it continues to mix it in either way.
I was having this issue where I would print one page and it would be okay and then any page following would slowly look worse.
Long story short, just print without the color cartridge in and you shouldn't have the issue unless your black is really low. Replacing that should fix it overall though.

Why does my image not reach the edges of the page when printed, but appears fine as pdf?

Why does my image not reach the edges of the page when printed, but appears fine as pdf?

Check a printable area of your printer.
Make a (grey) rectangle that is larger than the paper size. Print it,
you'll get a message that some cropping will occur, that's okay. Then take a
ruler and measure the dimensions of the rectangle printed on the paper or
the white borders around the printed rectangle.

Color shift when printing with LR 3.6

LR 3.6, win 7, screen Nec PA 241 W, Epson R 3000. When printing with colors managed by LR and paper/R 3000 profiles, I get prints with a strong color shift (printer pilot "mode" : desactivated) . How can I correct it ?

You answered your own question: CS5. There have been a slew of reports of workflows spun upside down when upgrading to CS5. It may require updating your system software and/or Adobe applications, along with any printer driver updates that may be lurking out there somewhere. The twist to your situation is ( and is very common ) that everything was working before and now it does not. Or there is a certain print disorder of some sort. Very troubling. I wish I had a smoking gun answer for you, but I don't. It sounds like you have a very viable workflow in place that worked before and damn well should perform for you now. I'd stick with what works and dump what doesn't ( if you can ).

HP Laserjet P3015 double sided - the last odd page prints on the same page when printing two copies

HP Laserjet P3015 double sided printing is set up on Windows 7. When printing two copies of a document, if it has odd number of pages, the last page is printed on both sides of the page. There is no page feed for the last page.
Suppose say there are 3 pages in a document and you want to print two copies. It prints like 1/2, 1/2 and 3/3. The third page (odd number) print on the same page. The last page page does not print on two pages.
It works alright on Windows XP.

Hope that you have configured the correct paper type and size in the printer hardware and also selecting the same paper tray, size, type from the printer driver while printing.
It may be caused due to the job formatting done by the application software or some jobs settings done from the job/application or printer driver. Check by toggling the 'collate' option and also try to print from a different application software.

Flipped even-numbered pages when printing double-sided from Preview

My HP 2015dn printer has the ability to print double-sided. Yet I'm finding that when printing from Preview, the even-numbered pages are flipped 180 degrees. I can see the rationale for this, but I'd like to disable it and have the orientation the same for both odd- and even-numbered pages. There is a setting in the print dialog to "automatically rotate each page," but that is not what I want.
Any ideas?

That fixed it. The pdfs were rotated so that they would appear in landscape orientation on my screen (they're originally photocopies of side-by-side book pages). Well, now I understand the difference between short-edge and long-edge binding! Thanks for your help.

Rearrange pages when printing adobe form with multiple master pages

Hello!
Good day to you all.
I have an issue in regards with printing my adobe form with multiple Master pages. I have 4 master pages:
1st master page: a
2nd master page: b
3rd master page: c
4th master page: d
all with different headers and footers all having the same contents (items). I don't have issue with one page content (it just prints 4 pages with different headers and footers). The issue comes out once the items exceed 1 page.
What happens is that the preview/print shows (example: 3-page item)
a1-a2-a3-b1-b2-b3-c1-c2-c3-d1-d2-d3.
What i need is to print these such that all 1st pages of the 4 master page to be printed first, then all the 2nd pages, then all 3rd pages. Please see below:
a1-b1-c1-d1-a2-b2-c2-d2-a3-b3-c3-d3
This is because we will be using carbonless copy paper during printing and it's possible that it would be printed on batch jobs. Please suggest ways to do this.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Best Regards,
abap_peer_dangs

Hi,
Is that requirement of multiple pages as groups only at the time of print or at print preview also...?
Can you have a Print button on this screen or you should be using the Abobe toolbar's Print button..?
Well if this on a click of a button in the form and the requirement is only at the time of print and not on print prieview I can have a JS script which does this...
Let me know if this suffice, I can try with a local file and send you the script.
@ Chris: I didn't understand what do you mean by reported, I was eager to hear and learn a solution from you may be a new approach which I am not aware of ...?
Cheers,
Sai.
