Having trouble printing pdf from Safari
I'm new to Mac, so I'm hoping there is just some secret place I don't know about to adjust these settings.
Here's the issue: I am trying to print a pdf certificate (full page with a thin border on it) from Safari. When printed, the page is offset to the right and down, like there is some sort of default page margins set up in the browser.
What I've tried: There is no "page setup" option in the "file" menu. In the print menus (the ones that appear when you click the arrow next to the printer dialogue box), I have tried selecting a borderless paper, printing borderless pages (with the sliding bar at both ends of the spectrum), changing the orientation, changing the zoom, and creating a custom paper with custom margins.
No matter what I do, the page still prints out with a sizable margin on the top and left, the certificate border is right at the edge of the page on the right, and off the page on the bottom. This also happens when I print the page from Safari to a pdf, so it's not the printer.
Any suggestions?
Hi
Don't rely on an HP updater to work. They don't quite understand a Mac mentality.
You can find the latest HP driver for your printer here.
Yes, a faulty printer driver will affect Safari's printing.
After you install the driver, "repair permissions" using Disk Utility found in your Finder's Applications>Utilities folder.

Now, when I try to print a pdf from Safari, the print window shows nothing to print, and subsequently, nothing prints. Does anyone know what's happening? It worked fine for years.

Ive been having this issue forever
When I need to print a PDF file, I cannot do so from Safari. It just comes up blank pages.
If I go to another browser like Chrome, I have no problems.
Anyone know why or what I can do?
It seems Safari causes so many problems in addition to this one that I seem to have to use other browsers more and moreAlso, the little printing window that usually pops up on the dock when you print something and then quits itself after printing doesn't quit itself anymore. I have to actually select it and quit it myself. It's very annoying.

HT4550 Download or Print PDFs from Safari
I cannot get Safari to download pdfs or print them from the screen. If I try to download it tells me file cannot be saved. If I try to print, the pages are blank. Any suggestions?
iMac 27"Hello:
It has been awhile - hopefully my memory is OK.
Highlight any existing PDF file on your computer (don't open it). Then go to the file menu. Open with should give you the available choices. As I recall, this sets the option globally.

Cannot save or print pdf from safari in Snow Leopard
Just recently have been unable to save or print PDF documents from two different websites using either Safari or FireFox on Snow Leopard (10.6). The same websites can be accessed, saved or printed on a different computer using Safari and Lion (10.7). Looking for help.
Found a previous post that suggested doing a Right Click on the PDF form in the Safari Window and then printing from the pop-up menu. This does work. Also, on one of the PDF forms there was a pop-up menu at the bottom of the form that appears only when you move the mouse pointer to the bottom of the form. From this memu I could either save or print. But, just using the Safari File>Print command did not work.
Although both of the alternate techniques work, it is still a mystery why this behavior should suddenly appear. -
I am having trouble printing pdf's on my iMac.
I can print pdf's if I open them in Preview. However, if they open in Adobe Reader they do not print. I suspect there is an isue with the soft ware. I have tried re-downlading the software but it tells me it is already installed. How do I "uninstall" Adobe Reader from my iMac?
Download AppZapper (It's a free trial)
Install it and open it.
Drag the Reader app to the AppZapper window and "zap" it along with the associated files to the trash.
Empty the trash.
Download the Reader FULL installer here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ to replace it. -
When I try to print a pdf downloaded by safari I only get a blank, black page, if I print via safari itself, and an error that no pages are selected (when thy are) if I try to print via adobe reader, I'm running OSX 10.9.2 and Safari 7.0.3
To view PDF in Preview, you have to remove Adobe Reader.
Remove Adobe plug ins if any.
Macintosh HD > Library > Internet Plug-ins
Look for these two files.
AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin
AdobePDFViewer.plugin
Right click it and then select Move to Trash”. -
I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I have the latest version of Firefox 5.0. I'm over Apple's Safari, and I'd like to transfer my bookmarks into Firefox. I've gone through your help and support section and found an article that could help me. However, when I click File, the "import" button is grayed out. Which prevents me from importing bookmarks into your browser. So I drug the Firefox icon into the recycle bin, and hit empty trash, then re-downloaded the firefox software from your site, and it seemed to remember my old bookmarks from a year ago. The file, "import" button was still grayed out, so I couldn't update my entire new list of bookmarks onto your web browser.

HT4356 I'm having trouble printing wireless from my iPad.
I was able to do the test print and I haven't been able to print anything since. My iPad says it's not able to find the printer. It's an HP Deskjet.
interesting, check your settings first and make sure cables are connected properly (I know it sound obvious!) then try an app like hp eprint or print n share

Im having trouble printing photos from my HP Photosmart B110
I've set up the printer correctly but was unable to print photos initially so I reinstalled the software which worked. I could use the options and printer properties functions once Id selected a photo, allowing me to resize pictures etc. And then after a while it just stopped! When I click print, nothing happens, the status bar comes up and disappears straight away whereas before it would tell me its sending the print to the printer and when I check the print que, there is nothing there. The only thing that happened was my internet disconnected for a little while and after it came back on, nothing worked? Surely everytime my internet disconnects I don't have to reinstall everything again???? Please help me
Hello jackie4,
I understand you are getting an 'Out of Paper' error when trying to pick up photo paper on your Deskjet 3515. I would like you to go ahead start troubleshooting An 'Out of Paper' Message Displays on the Control Panel and the e-All-in-One Does Not Pick Up Paper ....
Please let me know if this was successful at resolving the error message, if you require more assistance I would be happy to help.
Thanks,

I'm having trouble printing pages from Adobe Digital Editions
So earlier, I made the authorization to print the whole ebook.
Upon my making this authorization, my computer was slow.
I cancelled the command, figuring that Adobe Digital Editions would let me try again.
Now it says I can only print 4 pages.
This program is really dumb.
How do I gain more pages available to print for the same ebook?interesting, check your settings first and make sure cables are connected properly (I know it sound obvious!) then try an app like hp eprint or print n share

I am having trouble printing a PDF document. Whenever I click print nothing happens but when I am printing documents from Word, Excel etc they print without a problem. I've tried printing as image but that did not work. I uninstalled Adobe Reader XI and downloaded Adobe Reader X instead and that still doesn't work. I have Windows 7.

Hi. i'm having trouble viewing pdf files in safari
i'm having trouble viewing pdf files in safari.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again. -
I am having trouble printing to an Epson XP600. We have replaced the printer and we are still having the same problem. When I try to print from Excel, only the color prints. Any suggestions?
Has anyone else had issues not being able to print black (such as a document)? My photos print great, but when I try to print a simple black-ink document, it won't work. Any suggestions?
