Half-page, 2 per page layout won't print

Brother HL-4070CDW stopped printing Half-page or 2 per page layout after installing Snow Leopard 10.6.2 (with Brother driver update of 11/9/09). Anyone else have this problem, solution?

That did fix it, thanks so very, very much! I went to the " prints to a small portion of the page" and changed the paper size to A4 like it said and it worked immediately. This was the first time that I found this particular information listed on Firefox after looking at numerous questions/answers. Again, thanks so very much!!!!!!

Pages File Won't Print

I created a flier that won't print as a pages or PDF file. I redid it with a new template, and then it printed. Problem is, I really like the old one and want to use that one instead. Help?!
Thanks

Man am I glad I found this reply... I was was cursing and ready to throw my powerbook into the road. Well, not quite that bad but I was really getting ******. What is the deal with this? Gloss paper, plain paper... who cares. Why does it matter for just a simple page print?

Pages & TextEdit won't print on HP D4300

Just bought the iWork 09 CD 'cause TextEdit was unreliable (file savings problems galore). Trying to print text saved under .pages or .doc (=TextEdit), my HP Deskjet gets started as usual, then always quits with these messages: "Impression of page one 14% effected" (loosely translated from the French), then "Imprimante ready" (still in French) above "/Library/Printers/hp/cups/Deskjet.driver/Contents/MacOS/Deskjet failed". Other details: screenshots from Aperçu (Preview), texts saved under .html (Safari) and .pdf (Adobe Reader) do get printed, and then I had no problems with Pages/TextEdit when using my other printer, a Canon Pixma ip2600.
So I suppose it's purely an issue between the D4300 driver and either iWork 09 and/or OS 10.5.8 which I downloaded yesterday too. Shall I try updating the driver first or look for a Permissions problem?

Unreliable is just what it says: no matter what I do, saving with CTRL-S before leaving the Mac unattended, relying on the automatic saving feature or saying Yes to "Save Changes?" when closing the file, I can never be sure changes are saved. Usually it's what's just been written after the last saving move that 's missing, sometimes it's the whole work session, and, at other times, most damning, little bits and pieces here and there, which go unnoticed at first glance. I've found a way around it:
1: Copy file contents, 2: Save and Close file as usual, 3: (Optional) Reopen file and check if all changes were saved 4: Anyway, open a new .rtf or .doc file and Paste the contents of the old one onto it. 5: The text is intact all right, so just save that file as .html document. 6: The next time you work on that job, you'll first have to Copy/Paste the text from the .html file to a fresh TextEdit file.
The preemptive Copy/Paste move proved crucial in the case of changes involving the appending of large chunks of text, so as to deliver, say, a 900-page book as a .doc file TextEdit flatly refused to reopen. (This was obvious as soon as the file icon turned blank on the Finder.) So I had to split the book into two .doc files.
Oddly, now, when you save a Page file as .doc file, this is done by TextEdit, not Pages, and I haven't tested yet the file-length limits of such files – or straight Pages files either. And then I still have to use TextEdit to open old AppleWorks files saved on my external HD when I was using my iBook, which ran on Mac OS 9.2. (For short files, I add a .txt or .doc ending, then do the above routine, knocking off some stray artefact-like characters & spaces in the process; for whole books, I use a USB key and transfer them back to the ageing iBook, where I open the file under AppleWorks and save it as .rtf file – which I should have done in the first place of course, but then it was not at all clear that Appleworks files were dead in a Mac OS X environment. If you ask: yes, my TextEdit and/or my iMac behave in a strange way, but I already have a CleanInstall behind me (worse TextEdit and Permissions problem) in the 90-day free telephone assistance period about 9 months ago. My local Apple salesman suggests I buy both the SnowLeopard update and the AppleCare pack. But I'll try that other forum you mention when I have the time. The fact that my OS and applications are French-localized doesn't make things easier with English-speaking forums or German-speaking service hotlines, Apple Centers and Internet providers (the iMac was bought and registered in Austria, and I had a French keyboard shipped from France).

Pages docs won't print on my Canon Pro 9000

When I try to print a document, all I get is a blank page. I copied the doc to Word, and it printed perfectly.
Has anybody else encountered this problem, and if so, how did you deal with it?

It seems to be related to your printer, maybe it doesn't have a Postscript emulator. Test print a pdf to it.
Have you updated your printer drivers, Apple regularly has new downloads in its software support pages, and also been to Canon's website to see if there are any reported issues?

Page layout - hard to print

Hello,
OTN is good-looking and function-intensive site.
But I found it hard to print some on-line articles,
for example, this one:
http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/tech/java/codesnippet/jdbc/lob/LobToSP.html
Can you introduce "print-friendly" version of the
same article as a link, like it is done in
other places?
Thank you.
Alex V.

Thanks for your reply.
I'm reloading the Apps from Time Machine, takes some time ...
For new speadsheets I agree with you to draw a rectangle but still I can not agree that we need to do all that just because we want to have a well done layout!
When you are working on .xls files that you convert to numbers.app and that it does includes some tables and so on, you cannot do that and it is a mess.
Only way is to remain on previous Numbers.app version I guess.
Hopefully all will work after my reset!
Difficult to understand such low professionalism from Apple.
Worst thing is that they do propose it for free and thus everybody will have a wrong image of Apple 'simplicity'!
Better nothimg then something that doesn't work and make losing time!
Anyway, thanks again for yoru reply.

Word 2004 won't print individual or last pages

When printing a document in Word, the programme has just started missing the last page of docs with 2 or more pages, and won't print any single page documents. Even double sided with an even number of pages it misses the last page on the back of the second last.
It says it is going to the printer, and the printer detects some data coming in, but then prints nothing. My work around is putting a blank page at the end of each doc, but this is annoying and cumbersome.
This has only just started happening. Having searched for answers here and other forums, I couldn't find a solution.
Have tried taking off collation, printing only page ranges, current page, and have looked in all the settings to no avail. This happens with both Kyocera printers (one is new, the other did not have this problem before, and all other appications work fine, making me think it is the application)
Has anyone encountered this problem before?
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks from Downunder,
Chris

Hi Chris -
The first things to be sure of are a) that you have the most current updates for the version of Word you are using, and b) that you have the latest print driver available.
If you have recently updated Word/Office and-or OS X, you may need to reinstall the printer driver even if it is current.
You'll find some helpful suggestions here

Printer connected, printer works, but won't print from Mac

I'm helping someone with a printer problem, and I have a mystery on my hands.
The printer is connected (directly), shows up in the printer list, can print a test page, but won't print any document from this computer (it's fine from my laptop).
It's a Mid-2011 Mini, 2.3Ghz, running 10.7.5. The printer is an Epson WF-2540.
This is a USB printer, connected directly to their Mac.
In "Settings", when you select Print/FAX and print a "Test Page" - Success! This is a process that invokes the Epson Driver directly [and bypasses the MAC print queuing mechanism]
When "Printing" from within any application (firefox, TextEdit, winders...)   The job starts to queue, but errors before engaging the printer.
R & R the Epson Drivers, Clear the Printer "stuff" on the Mac, Reinstall drivers from the Epson website, Mac wants to update the "newest" Epson Drivers (kinda' funny when I think about it...).
Still errors.
I attached directly to a USB port on my MacBook Pro. Download drivers, etc.. Works like a champ!
We have deleted the printer from System Prefs, rebooted, and added it back.
We have even gone into Terminal and...
sudo bash
cd /etc/cups/ppd
ls
found EPSON_WF_2540_Series.ppd
cp * /var/tmp/
ls /var/tmp/*.ppd
rm /etc/cups/ppd/*
Still doesn't work.
Anybody have any suggestions?

After upgrade to latest firmware canon network printer won't print

after upgrade to latest firmware canon network printer won't print. It's a canon MP540 on a wireless network. It will print a test page but won't print from any application, just sits there with the message 'copying print data'!
Running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74), with firmware SMC Version (system): 1.73f63.
Any help gratefully received.

First off if you can print a test page there is absolutely no reason you wouldn't be able to print from a application...none. But stranger things have happened now that we have Lion. Within the application are you selecting the wireless printer........just had to check.
I have the MP620 which is simlar to your MP540 and have no problems printing from my MBA (June 2011). I too have the latest firmware and software......without problems printing.
A few things I'd try would be to remove the wireless printer from your computer (in Preferences, printers), restart, and repair permissions. Then add the wireless printer back, and see if it works. If not.....power OFF the printer and turn back on.
If the above fails reinstall the printer driver (yours) I think you will have to plug in the USB cable.
Keep me updated and I'll tyr and help!

This is a problem. The new layout for apple mail in iCloud shows the body of a mail or any attachments on the right half of the screen. But it won't print just the attachment, it prints the whole email page, cutting off the bottom of the attachment.

Even if I try to 'screen shot' just the attachment, the view won't move down as I enlarge the 'screen shot' to get all of the attachment. Previously, I could "SAVE" the attachment and only the attachment would be saved. Now the whole email page including the address info from the top is saved, so when I try to print what should be an 8.5x11 attachment the bottom of it won't print because the top 2" include the email address info.
Suggestions?

That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

Pages per sheet layout options

Hi,
I am trying to print two pages on one 8.5x11 inch sheet of paper in OS X. I am using Pages 1.0. I'd like my page size that prints to be 5.5x8.5 portrait, which basically turns my document into a two-column landscape letter-sized page. The reason I want two separate pages is because I need page numbers on each page, something I cannot accomplish simply by using multiple columns.
When I try to print from Pages, I can never get my document to print correctly like I could on my PC. Usually the margins are huge, the text is tiny, and it is totally unusable. I've tried different settings, tried setting the destination paper size, tried changing the document paper size in page setup. I even called Apple for help, but the tech couldn't figure out how to get the multiple page layout option to do what I needed it to do!
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I enjoy using my new Mac, but I keep having to sit at my PC to prepare my sermons because I can't get them to print properly in Pages. Thanks!

Now that I think about it, this makes sense. When you use this printing option you're essentially telling the system to fit what was originally designed to fit in a whole sheet of paper into half that area, so it has to scale everything down accordingly.
I don't know whether there is a way to do what you want in Pages, but the following should work for any application, regardless of its capabilities:
1. In File > Page Setup... choose a paper size that's half the size of the sheets of paper you intend to print on (that would be A5 if your sheets were A4, for example; you may need to define a custom paper size if that's not the case).
2. In File > Page Setup... choose one of the landscape orientations.
3. Print the odd pages only.
4. Put the half-printed sheets of paper in the printer again upside down, so that this time the printer prints the other half.
5. In File > Page Setup... choose the landscape orientation that's a mirror of the orientation chosen in step 2.
6. Print the even pages.
This is a little cumbersome, but it (or something like that) should work until you find a better way.

Pages per sheet layout option defaults to letter paper format

Hello,
I'm trying to print multiple pages to a single page using the Layout->"Pages per sheet" option in the printing dialogue (for instance in Preview). It does not matter what paper size I chose (A4 usually) or what paper size my original document is in. If I save the document as PDF (in the printing dialogue) the paper size of the resulting file is always letter.
The default paper size in the printing preferences pane is set to A4, but that has no effect either.
As I live in Europe and want to print the PDF I created on A4 paper eventually, this is pretty annoying...
Any ideas why the "Pages per sheet" option disregards all paper size settings?

dsy6 wrote:
Any ideas why the "Pages per sheet" option disregards all paper size settings?
No, but A4 is similar to Letter...when you print the PDF eventually, just set to A4 then. It's a workaround, but it's not that messy.

Multiple Page Contents Page Fields In Custom Page Layout SP2013

I'm rather new so bare with me. I'm trying to add multiple page content page fields with snippets to a custom page layout html file in SP2013 Designer. Once I add the snippet and publish, I review the page and any text written
in the last created page content box saves for both page content boxes instead of saving unique text in both. How do you change the snippets to where they are unique snippets and won't be referenced as the same one?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

ok thnaks a lot for the reply. in my form has 6 pages. so i want to copy only first page half page data ( content & fillble fileds) in to new pdf page. so is this possible ???

File/Import and Page Layout not working anymore

I have a question about old software: FrameMaker 6.0 on a Mac. (While Adobe encouraged me to purchase this in 2001 for the chemistry textbook I am writing, I had invested to much to abandon it when Adobe abandoned the Mac version a few years later.)
I have imported dozens of images files into the 750 page book and FrameMaker has accepted both tif and jpg formats. The way I did it was to create an anchored frame in the textbook, click on it, and then File>Import and select the image file and then choose whether I wanted it to be referenced or actually in the text. All of this worked fine... until a couple of days ago.
Problems
1. I no longer get Import as an option under File and
2. FrameMaker no longer recognizes tif and jpg files under "All Readable Documents" when I do File>Open. I have to click on Show All Files to see them.
As a result I am unable to import any tif or jpg files into the FrameMaker textbook.
What's curious is that I have 6.0 installed on both a G4 and a PowerBook and this problem has occurred on both at the same time.
3. And I just discovered that when I do Format/Page Layout the half a dozen or so custom formats that I had are no longer listed.
So what has caused this loss of memory for Framemaker that it can no longer do what it has done for me for years. (I am somewhat sympathetic to it's memory loss myself as a 78 year old user.)
The G4 has been unplugged recently but in the past it has been unplugged for a week or so and there were no problems.

I don't know if read-only files are recognized by FrameMaker to the point where it will dim commands that need to write to the files.
It's always a good idea on Mac to repair permissions with Disk Utility - make sure you have good backups, just in case.
Have you tried saving a file that can't import as MIF, then opening the MIF version to restore the file, and perhaps lose any corruption in it? This is called the "MIF Wash."
I think the latest Mac OS that FrameMaker can work with is system 9, or the Classic simulator that runs on the OS X release called Tiger. I'm sure you'd know if you changed operating systems in this period. Classic won't run on Intel Macs.
I have no other clues about what might cause this, except the general thought that something has changed on your systems or in the files you're working with. Does the problem persist in a brand-new file you create on your local drive? If you're working with FM files on a network, have you tried the process with files on your local computer drive? Have you quit FrameMaker and restarted your Macs? Any change? If you have a cloned bootable backup of your stuff from before the problem arose, you might want to try cloning your problematic drive to a new bootable backup, then restoring the known good clone, to see if it works.

Can I mix Pages page layout and word processing together in one document?

Hello there ! I am quite new to Pages and I am desperate to learn as i want to get rid of everything being Microsoft
As you all know when you open Pages you can choose between page layout and word processing !
the thing is i thought that after using a page layout you could just go with word processing easily... well no, you can't, but i'm sure i'm missing something...
For exemple i really like the catalogue brochure and it would be perfect for me to start a project... but after a few pages, i can just add blank pages and if i want to type text, i have to add text boxes... i don't want that, I want word processing... and another thing in this brochure i can't add table of content because it is not by default in the template...
So my question is quite basic here, can we link Page layout and word processing without having to use text boxes and everything ?
Thanks in advance !
Have a good day

Alexander,
Welcome to Apple discussions.
The simple answer is no. What differentiates page layout from word processing mode is that the PL mode has no text layer. So everything that goes on the page must be an object of some kind. And any pages you add to a PL document must also be PL. You can't mix the two modes. One way around it is to start with a blank page, insert a text box, then stretch the box so that it covers the entire page. You can the type in it as if it were a text layer in a WP file. You can even capture that page so that you can add it automatically when you need it, or save it as a template.
As for building a Table of Contents, it appears that Pages only sees text styles that are on the text layer, which means it won't see styles that are in objects -- which means it won't work with a PL document. From being a long-time reader of this discussion group, I've noticed it's rare that someone wants to add a ToC to a PL document.
If you find that you're going to be mixing text and graphics, start with a word processing template. If you really like the Catalog Brochure, you could always copy some or all of its elements over to a blank WP template.
Hope this helps.
-Dennis
