Duplex printing pages are wrong-way round with MacBook snowleopard

Hello, I've just installed a new Laser Jet Pro 1606DN and the automatic duplex printing insists on producing the pages in this order: 2-1, 4-3 That is, to read the document, I will have to manually shift each page so that they are in sequential order.
I have tried saving all combinations of checking and unchecking collate & reverse printing with no result. The "standard" preset has both checked and duplex printing - I don't know how that it got that way. Any other setting I try to save as a preset reverts back to collate, but I do not know if that is part of the problem or a symtom. We have: reinstalled the driver 3 times, found that it is the same with pdf and word files, used the diskrepair utility and DiskWarrior, found the same error when we created a new administrator, and finally the hp tech support said it was not their problem and apple tech support said that I will have to reinstall the system. Hp was also scathing about apple macs being "for fun" and "not serious for business." So far this problem has taken 5 hours of today and we are no closer to understanding the reason or knowing how to fix it. A colleague has the same system (10.6.3) and printer, and has no problems.
Thank you!

The driver was updated 1/15/2011 and solves the duplex issue with Snow Leopard (10.6)

Smart quotes sometimes wrong way round after a question mark or comma

I'm finding that Pages frequently puts the direction of the final smart quote in a piece of dialogue the wrong way round. I use a single speech mark (apostrophe) at start and finish of speech. This seems to happen most after a question mark or comma. Anyone know why, or how to fix it? Doesn't happen in Word! Thanks.

Which language is your computer set to?
Have you set the system preferences for smart quotes?
System preferences > Language and text > Text
Here is what it looks like on my computer with Snow Leopard

Keyboard symbols wrong way round

My " and @ are the wrong way round. When I opened keyboard prefs I had an option to change keyboard so I did it then asked me to press the button next to shift then offered three types, I picked european as thats where I am but still no go. And now the option tot change the keyboard has gone from system prefs entirely.
Its a basic logitech keyboard and the awesomely bad logitech software does not even see the keyboard.
Any ideas?

Go to system prefs/language & text/input sources and see if there is a box to check for Logitech UK.
Which key do you want the @ to be on exactly? Mac and PC Brtish keyboards are different.

Photos keep appearing the wrong way round in slideshow!

Photos which I imported from my old macbook (running 10.4) onto my new imac (10.5.8) keep appearing the wrong way round or stretched out when I play them as part of a slideshow even though in the library they appear fine. Can anyone tell me how to fix this please?
Thanks

Yes the plist file is important, but next time you start iPhoto it will create a brand new one.
This file records various user settings - like the background colour, for instance. If you trash it then when iPhoto re-creates it it simply returns things to the factory default settings.
Trashing the plist file is troubleshooting 101.
Also don't understand what you mean by "If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again"
By default, your iPhoto Library lives in your Pictures Folder. That's where iPhoto looks for it. If you've moved the Library - and I'm guessing you haven't - then you need to tell iphoto where you moved it to. Why? Because that's a setting recorded in the plist file.

What is an easy web-page creation program for use with MacBook Pro?

Can anyone suggest an easy web-page creation program for use with MacBook Pro? I have used FrontPage with my PC, but am changing to a MacBook Pro.

It largely depends on your skill level. Do you want to write web page code, or do you want to just design something and have it turn into a web page automatically?
If you are more of a designer, try these:
RapidWeaver
Freeway Pro
Muse
If you want to write web page code, try these:
Coda
BBEdit
Dreamweaver
If you really don't want to write the code and want the best experience for your viewers, and you want to spend the least amount of time on it, my recommendation is:
No program at all.
Instead, sign up with a web site company like:
WordPress.com (hosted by them) or WordPress.org (hosted on your server)
Squarespace
Wix
The reason is that these companies have fully operational, nicely designed web site templates that you just fill in with your words and pictures, and they are ready to go. They also give you these benefits:
Already designed to the latest web standards
Already designed to resist hackers
Already designed to work on all browsers
Already designed to automatically adjust the page for readability on desktop, laptop, tablet, and smartphone screen sizes
Already designed for accessibility
Already designed for Search Engine Optimization so that your page will be found on Google
Already designed with social media links built in if you want
It is not like the old days where you build a site in Front Page and you assume it will only be seen on a desktop computer. If you build it yourself with a web page program, do you have the knowledge to make a site that works on all of the different web browsers and mobile devices, and is friendly to search engines and social media? If you don't have those skills, working with a website company can be a lot better, faster, and more reliable than trying to hammer all of that out yourself using code in some app.

Duplex Printing - Page 2 upside down

I can duplex print, but the even number pages (second side printed) are upside down. Also, my properties tab options do not match the manual's description, so I'm not sure if I'm setting it up properly
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi shell75,
I would like to help you with this issue of page 2 printing upside down. Make sure that your Firmware is up to date.
Then follow these steps in the User Guide on duplex printing.
Print on both sides (duplexing)
You can print on both sides of a sheet of media automatically by using the HP
Automatic Two-sided Printing Accessory (duplexer).
NOTE: Two-sided printing requires an HP Automatic Two-sided Printing
Accessory (duplexer) to be installed on the printer.
TIP: You can perform manual duplexing by first printing only the odd pages,
flipping the pages over, and then printing only the even pages.
Perform two-sided printing (Windows)
1. Load the appropriate media. For more information, see Guidelines for printing on
both sides of a page and Load media.
2. Make sure the duplexer is installed correctly. For more information, see Install the
duplexer.
3. With a document open, click Print on the File menu, and then under the Print on
Both Sides options on the Layout tab, select either Flip on Long Edge or Flip on
Short Edge.
4. Change any other settings, and then click OK.
5. Print your document.
Depending on which flip you choose will determine how it prints on page 2.
Let me know how it goes or if you need any further help.
Thank you,
I worked on behalf of HP.

Adobe X Printing page ranges in pdf's with multiple sections

I'm trying to print a page range in a document that is divided into sections that start over with page 1 or page i, and using an absolute page range doesn't work. For example, the document has an initial cover page up to the Contents page numbered i - vi, then the Contents section is numbered i - iv, then the Figures section is numbered 1 - 2, then the Chapter 1 section is numbered 1 - 6, Chapter 2 is 1 - 14, etc.
In Adobe X, the default toolbar with the print, mail icons, then the up and down arrows, is followed by a box with the "page number" in it followed by a page range in (); for ex., the box has '1' in it and the range shows (15 of 94). If I was viewing the title page, the box would have 'i' in it followed by (1 of 94), etc.
When I try to print, the dialog menu shows the "Print Range" of "All", "Current Page", and "Pages". If I select "Pages" and enter the absolute number from the range in () like (15 of 94), and I want to print absolute page 15-35, and I enter that in the "Pages" box as 15-35, what I get is a section further in the document that I don't want at all, and not the desired page range. In fact, since the sections all restart the page numbering, I can't even find the starting page because the print function is totally confused about what page I mean.
In previous Acrobat versions, I had no trouble using the absolute page range since that is obviously required to get the desired range; i.e., Acrobat can't know what section I want, so for ex. putting page 1-10 can mean any section with 10 pages. I don't know how to use a page range for sections, like 2.1 - 2.4 or 2-1 to 2-4 because the Page range box doesn't recognize that. And again, the absolute page ranges don't work either.
The only way to print this document is to select the "All" button. If the doc is 1000 pages long, I don't want to waste all that paper!! Please help!

You can use the thumbnails pane and print pages selected within the pane.
Have you tried other strings like:
1 - 6 , 1 - 13

CLJ 4550 printed pages are VERY faint/washed out, except top 1/2inch of page nice and dark

My CLJ 4550 printer does say the transfer kit is very low (4%) so I assume that's the problem, but I just want to be sure that a spent transfer belt would have the symptom of very faded prints with a nice dark top 1/2 - 3/4 inch (before I spend the money on the transfer kit, I'd like to be sure it is likely to fix the problem.) Currently the pages are so faded you can't read a single word, just see faint shapes of yellow and other colors (I was printing the configuration page.)
I'm assuming the 4600 is much superior to this machine, just based on all the churning and clunkng this one does while working, my 4600 doesn't do even half as much.
Thanks for your thoughts.

How to mirror/flip a photo? (were scanned from slides wrong way round)

How to horizontal flip a picture? Some 50 slides were scanned from dias and were scanned wrong way up. so now my pictures are lef-right mirrored.
Thanks, Mark

That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
You can do it in preview (in your applications folder) before you import the scans, by exporting the scans or by setting Preview as the external editor for iPhoto

What do you do when apple support pages are wrong or out of date?

I'm doing my best to fix my icloud keychain problems using apple's support pages. However, like so many times in the past, these pages are either out of date, just plain wrong or ambiguous.
So ... after much hair pulling, I've learned from the doc " Get help using iCloud Keychain" that I need to turn off icloud keychain on my three devices. But the instructions fail to say how I'm supposed to do this. Nor does it provide a link to any such instructions.
Then ... after more hair pulling, I finally found this page "Frequently asked questions about iCloud Keychain” that supposedly explains how to remove iCloud keychain. Not sure if that’s the same thing, but when I try it, I find that the “allow approving security code” doesn’t exist. Which is surprising since the page was last modified 3/21/15. You’d think they would have caught that.
The only satisfaction I’ve had during this CF is leaving negative comments on the survey they keep asking me to fill out.
Please … does an explanation of how to “Turn Off iCloud Keychain” anywhere on the apple support pages? I've got to get some work done today.

The url is https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204085
Just above the last graph is a 1-2-3 list. #2 says: Deselect “Allow approving using security code."
However, there is no option called this. I have attached a jpg to illustrate.

The "@" and the " are the wrong way round? how do I change it

When using the keyboard and press the key for @ you end up with " and visa versa, so you press " you end up with @, anyone know why, this is a new Imac and I an new to Apple.

There are lots of different keyboard layouts depending on which country you are in. For instance, if I am using a US keyboard and I use the Language and Text system preference pane to switch my Input Source to German then I end up with the " when I press the key that has the '@' on it. Other characters also don't match up right.
The first step is to determine which keyboard you physically have, then compare it to the various virtual keyboard layouts available. I suggest opening the Language & Text System Preferences, and enable the Keyboard & Character View option in the Input Sources section. This will add a small icon to the upper right section of your menu bar next to the date/time. The Keyboard Viewer acts like a virtual keyboard which you can then compare to the actual keyboard you are typing on. Verify that the 'Input Sources' information is properly configured for your style keyboard and language. If you somehow ended up with the wrong keyboard then I would give Apple a call.

New computer system, printed colours are wrong, please advise.

I recently bought a new computer system inc Dell U2711 monitor and purchased LR4 and CS6. All was well, or so I thought, until I got some prints done. The prints from my old system (with which I only used elements 10) look fine. Those from my new system look awful, the colours are just wrong. My workflow is RAW image opened in LR then finished off in CS6 before saving as JPEG. The saved images look alright but when I either click view/ proof colors or if I use an image as a desktop screensaver, it gives the same washed out appearance with wrong colours. I'm at the limit of my technical knowledge here, does anyone have any ideas please?

Thanks for that link, I will read that. I've been going through the settings on LR and CS and I think I begin to understand. I've been looking in LR preferences and that gives three options for color space: There is Prophoto RGB (the default which LR recommends as it says the other two don't give the full colour range available in LR) then there is sRGB and lastly Adobe RGB (1998). There is no such option that I can find in CS6 preferences but, when I export a TIFF file from LR4 into CS6 and then save it from CS6 it shows the color as ICC profile Adobe RGB (1998). I also notice that in this setting using the view/ proof in CS6 the colours are slightly askew (they were way off when I had the LR preference set to ProphotoRGB). If however I set the LR preference to sRGB and then export to CS6, using the view/proof the colours stay the same so I'm still a bit confused. Maybe I'm just thick, it's a lot to take in.
I've processed a RAW image in the recommended ProphotoRGB, exported it to CS6 then before saving gone into edit/ convert to profile/ sRGB: the colours have stayed the same and using the view/ proof or save as desktop background = no change and everything looks good. So, is this the way forward and should that format work when printed? (I've only got a crappy basic two ink printer which I wouldn't trust to print anything other than text). Also, is it possible to get CS6 to save as sRGB by default or do I have to go through this routine for every image I want to save and print?

Printing Page numbers in ALV grid with oops

Hi ,
I have a ALV grid display with OOPS , there are also fields in top of page and end of page that go along with the print. I want to print the page numbers also . If I give a variable and increment it along with every call to top of page , then if a second print is issued, the variable can not be cleared out. Is there any other way.
Thank you .

Regarding ALV Grid Control using OOPs concepts
Please give me reward point if it is useful.
