Firefox web pages often print with many extra spaces between letters, making the printout illegible and useless..

When I try to print e-mails in Thunderbird and web pages in Firefox, the individual letters usually print (either to my laser printer or to Acrobat Distiller) with many spaces between each letter, making the printout nearly illegible and useless. Any thoughts? And settings that would correct this? (I never had this problem before the last few months, using earlier versions of Firefox and Thunderbird.

about:config has many listings for each of my printers, but instead of starting with "print.print_printer" [naming the printer], most listings that name a printer start with "print_printer" or simply printer_[printer name]. I don't want to reset all the listings, not knowing beforehand if that would be advisable.

How to disable "getting started with Firefox" web page when starting Foxfire?

Every time I open Firefox I get the additional web page "getting started with Firefox" and do not know how to disable it. Can you help?

The page may be set as an additional home page, the following link shows how to check and set your home pages - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page

I just downloaded Firefox 6.0. The web page asked if I wanted to upgrade. What is the most recent version of Firefox and why can't I get it denoted in the propperties link? Also why is it not compatible with AVG Tool Bar?

Firefox 6.0 is the current version.
Get what denoted in what properties link.
You can get the version number in Help -> About Firefox,
and in '''about:support''' typed into the Location bar, and you can use JavaScript to list the user agent -- javascript:navigator.userAgent
I'm not aware of any version of Firefox from Fx 2 on up to Fx 6 where "AVG Safe" is not a problem. Crashes aren't the only failures caused.

URGENT -- Printing reports adds extra spaces in between pages

Hello Experts,
I would like to ask for your help regarding printing from concurrent requests.
I am currently having an issue with printing multiple pages from Oracle reports, both in text format and RTF/PDF formats.
When I generate a multiple page report and print it directly from a concurrent request, print outs generate extra space after each page even though page size is indicated in the reports (all of them are in letter size).
I have already tried editing the printer drivers both the actual driver config file and through the application but the results are still the same.
This is very important since printing is done on continuous paper and continuous pre-printed forms
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Jovelyn

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?

How do you put safari web pages into icloud with the safari iCloud button?

how do you put safari web pages into icloud with the safari iCloud button?

What that button does is sync your tabs between your devices. So if you have multiple macs with Mountain Lion and/or devices with iOS 6 (once it comes out this fall) you can pick up where you left off. For example, let's say I have apple.com, nytimes.com, and facebook.com open on my mac, but I need to run. Later, if I need to use another computer in my household, I can just restore the tabs that I was using before on this other mac.

How to export the Apex web page to PDF with click of a button?

How to export the Apex web page to PDF with click of a button?
Am looking at exporting the Form view on APEX to be exported to PDF.

In order to get a PDF, you need to generate a Report....in PDF format.
If you are using the APEX Listener, you can initiate the download of the PDF by calling APEX_UTILS.download_print_document() (I normally place this in a Process)
BUT -- You have to create the Report (under Shared Components) and a Template (also under Shared Components).
The white paper in my first post gives you the HOWTO "[Create] Custom PDF Reports with Oracle Application Express and the APEX Listener".
Start by creating a Report (in Shared Components, bottom right) that uses a simple SQL statement like:
Select * from emp where empno = :P15_EMPNO
You may need to hard code the parameter before you hit "Download XML" button.
The XML that you get from clicking "Download XML" satisfies the "Step 1 - Create an XML Data Source" found on Page 11 of the document.
The rest of the instructions is in that whitepaper.

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.

Since upgrading to OS X 10.8.2 a few days ago, Safari will suddenly zoom in on web pages (happens on multiple sites) when I scroll or move the mouse -- any one know why and what to do about it? Thanks.

Since upgrading to OS X 10.8.2 a few days ago, Safari will suddenly zoom in on web pages (happens on multiple sites) when I scroll or move the mouse -- any one know why and what to do about it? Thanks!

It really isn't a well thought out 'gesture' when a normal scroll action can result in an unwanted zoom but disabling SmartZoom wasn't an option for me—one of those with eyes that tire easily when reading very small text on a 27" display.
For a while I used command-+ and command-'-' to read small text but that isn't supported in some apps and for Safari it often leaves the browser in an less than perfect state when moving to the next page. I also tried option scroll to zoom the whole display but that was not desirable, either.
I finally settled on leaving SmartZoom enabled and remembering to double tap with one finger whenever the undesired zoom happens. It happens so often that the double tap is almost a reflex action for me.

Problems with buttons and links at the top of the page not working can be caused by an extension like the Yahoo! Toolbar or a Babylon extension that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links and buttons in that part of the screen not clickable.

Scrollbar & extra spaces between pages.

Hi All,
Please provide some help on smartforms.
We are facing following problem with smartforms, We have created a smartform having one table with dynamic content.And after this dynamic table we have some static content.Based on the no.of items, the length of the entries in the table varies.If the table entries length increased beyond the page length, then we are getting a scrollbar in the page in which this table is displayed.
We had maintained the page length to the maximum.
And we are also getting some extra spaces between each static content of the smartform.
Regards
Veena.

have a question:
i have a big non repeating (a lot of repeating and no repeating frame inside.,print object 1st page) in the top of my main section and have a small repeating frame below it (print object last page.,)
does the small repeating frame causes the space? or it doesn't?

Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. 
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
