Help trouble shooting PRINTER PROBLEM within Numbers using Leopard

Help!! On both my spreadsheet created and other templates I've attempted printing, the print preview looks perfect (with the spreadsheet centered on the page)... but when they print, instead of printing centered like the preview, the print runs off the top and starts printing with no top margin and partially through my spreadsheet.
I reinstalled my HP Photosmart C4280 printer, and downloaded the updated beta driver found on HP's website. This did solve the problem. Is anyone else having printing problems? What else could I try?!
Thanks!

I called Apple tech support and got an answer! In Numbers, we must use the Document Inspector to "format for" the printer we're using. I have 2 printers installed, and it was defaulting to my label printer. When I switched to my HP printer, I had to make some small tweaks to my page format, and then it printed perfect.
Hope this can help someone else!

Trouble shoot mac problems on a pc?

I am developing my AIR project on a PC, the project runs as
desired on the PC, but is having several problems on the Mac I am
testing on.
It is becoming extremely painful trying to trouble shoot the
problem, I have to change 1 line at a time, then compile the .air
file, then install it on the mac, then see if theres a difference.
(I cant use the debuger on my pc because its running fine on the
pc).
so I was wondering if anyone knew a better way to trouble
shoot this?
Thanks.

You can use the SDK to run on the Mac without installing.

My "fix" to print problems in LR (using MS XP)

Having had the same problems printing from LR as many others are complaining about, I thought that I might give my 2 cents to what I did to solve (?) the problem. I have to run with current setting in a while to be convinced that it is not just an intermittent fix though ;-)
My problem when printing from LR was that the print came out much too Cyan-Green and somewhat dark when color management where handled by LR. When the same photo was exported to PS Elements (PSE) in Tiff with the Pro-photo color profile embedded, adjustments from LR, and printed using the same driver setting and color management, the print came out fine.
I must mention that I have had fine printout in previous LR versions but I'm not sure when the problem started. But at least from LR version 1.3, 1.3.1 I have had problems printing a proper print.
As I'm not 100% sure what caused the fix, I don't want to leave much info un-documented, so I start by describing my system etc.:
- Athlon 64 3500+ with 2 GB RAM
- Lacie 119 LCD monitor (calibrated with a ColorVision Spyder 2)
- Epson Stylus Photo 890 printer; an old (6-7 years) 6 color dye-sub printer, but it can still produce very good prints. (It is BTW, the A4 printer version of Epson 1290).
- Microsoft XP service pack 2
- Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 1.3.1.
- Adobe Photoshop Elements 5
- Latest Epson 890 printer drivers ver. 5.21/P (from 2004)
- ICC profiles for various Epson printer paper
- Paper used: Ilford Printasia Photo Glossy Paper (but I have tried Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper as well with same results)
I used following setting:
- In printer driver: "No color management" was selected
- LR and PSE color management; printer profile: Epson Stylus Photo 890 Premium Glossy Photo Paper, Rendering Intent: Perceptual
. LR Print sharpening: High
- LR Print resolution: 360ppi
When the photo was opened in PSE and I had printed a small print with above mentioned printer driver/color management settings. The print looked good, but with a little magenta color cast, so I thought that if I used a different printer profile this might help (I have no ICC profile for the Ilford paper). So I chose the "Epson Stylus Photo 890 Photo Paper" instead and printed again, and this time the photo looked as it did on my calibrated monitor. I have to admit I was a bit delighted even though it was from printed from PSE and not from LR, but seeing that color management worked in other applications was a relief.
In PSE, I also I tried changing to a different Rendering Intent before changing printer profile, but with no success.
Another thing that helped further was to change Media Type in printer driver from "Premium Glossy Photo Paper" to "Photo Paper".
After the print success in PSE I went back to LR and changed the Printer Profile to "Epson Stylus Photo 890 Photo Paper" (still with "No color management" and "Photo Paper" selected in printer driver) and printed the photo again. Now the photo looked as good as it did in PSE (!!!???).
Now I have made a few printer preset in LR for various print sizes, and the prints look fantastic. Every time! Do I have to mention that I am a happy guy ? :-)
BTW, remember that a printer preset also saves the printer driver settings. Forgetting this can easily cause some unexpected results.
The only thing is that, I still do not know what fixed the problem, and I am a bit worried that the problem might come back again. Maybe the print related changes made in PSE and the following selection of the same settings in LR did - somehow - "synchronize" LR to a proper color management. Sounds weird, but if it works...
I hope this long explanation was useful to - at least - some of you, who experience printer problems in LR. LR is a fantastic application, and I enjoy using it, but the printer problems has really been frustrating.
Good luck!
/Per

Little unclear about the border thing- you say it prints with a too wide border, but also say:
When I print the image with this set up, it still is printed without a border.
It's a factor of your printer, though; some can never print without a margin around all sides; this can be a border, or cut off. Good news, though; you can have a 5 x 7 borderless, or with any size border you wish if you print on larger paper, and trim to taste.

Need help trouble shooting mail issue

Mail issue started when the compter (imac intel, g4, os 10.6.8) said it needed to restart during a mail download. I restarted, then the mail program would not stop downloading older messages. I went online and followed a whole bunch of suggestions, which only made matters worse (preferences... drag com.mail.plist to desktop, add it back, rebuild mail) nothing worked. I then trashed the mail program, and trashed some of the mail cache (not wanting to lose preferences, I lett this cache). Then mail I could not access mail without the set-up assistant showing on screen. So... (digging a deeper and deeper hole!) I tried to restore mail from my time machine back-up (severl days prior to issue) and it did not help. I then reinstalled applications from snow leopard... not helpful. I then figured I could use migration assistant to copy my working mail program from my mac pro and this did not solve the issues. Of course all of this taking me away from my Christmas shopping:-)
So, I tried to set it up manually, but the program will not save the password and it keeps asking for the password but rejecting it each time.
Any ideas??

Thanks for your suggestion regarding contacting Apple. I called the Express service and talked for a couple of hours trying to resolve the issues.
One, to deal with the password issue, Keychain Access > Preferences > click on Reset My Default Keychain, close.
For the original issue of mail downloading messesges from my server every time I checked mail,
Library > Mail folder > messagealreadydownloaded3 > drag to trash. Issues resolved!!!
As for creating a pretty good mess... well all I can say is that I was following suggestions from other users that have posted online with similar issue. Lesson learned??? Not sure if there was one:-)

How about updating to Firefox 4.0.1? There was a flaw in b12 that caused problems with spacing of the type when printing, IIRC. Or maybe that was with b11? Regardless the Firefox4 release version was released two months ago, tomorrow to the day.

Please help! urgent printer problem.

I was using my printer in the mourning, and i got a paper jam. so i removed the paper, however after that nothing else wuld print. i just shut it off because i had to go to school. when i came home i tried various options, but it still had a jam. i removed and replaced the ink cartridges, i made cure the carriage could slide back and forth, i shut the printer on and off. However, the yellow light, and power button continue to blink on and off. when i attempt to print, it slowly takes a paper up, but it doesnt even print on it. and then it just spits it out. My printer is an HP officejet pro 8000 wireless. plz help

Hope that you have better luck than I have had, I just got told that I can pay more than I originally paid for my printer to have something fixed that is HP issue. But since I did not get to them within the year, even though I tried and tried to get them to help I am out of luck.
But what it sounds like is that you have a piece of paper stuck in one of the sensor areas that is causing the printer not to function properly. Take out your paper, and open the back and insure that there is not a small piece of paper not stuck in there somewhere that is causing your issue

Need help trouble shooting on how to fix my MacBook Pro so it will start

Ok, this is going to be a bit of a long one, cuz there are a good amount of details that go into the problem and how I have tried to fix it.
To start, late last summer I got my Macbook Pro 15" with high resolution anti-glare, 500 GB X 7200 RPM hard drive, and everythin else standard.
Next part of the story is that i decided to upgrade from my 3-year-old iPhone 3GS. So I preordered an iPhone 5 (never doing that again), and finally received it 10/05/12.
Wanting to synch my new iPhone 5 ASAP so I could fully play with it, I finally synched my old iPhone 3GS with my MacBook Pro for the first time. I had not previously synched it with my MacBook Pro, because all of the songs and stuff that were on it were from being synched with my family's desktop (from maybe a year or so ago; I don't synch my phones often.). I also had been lazy this whole time in not transferring the songs and stuff from the desktop to my MacBook Pro, so thats why I didn't synch my 3GS, because I didn't want to lose that stuff on my phone until I had made time to transfer the data. Because of this, I didn't use iTunes that much and I updated it only 2 or 3 times over the year that I had if before I got my iPhone 5.
After synching my old phone, I then tried synching the i5, but an iTunes pop up said that I needed to update to iTunes 7.0 in order to synch the new phone.
So I canceled the pop-up, and checked the updates in iTunes, and selected update (I can't remember what it said I was updating to, but I don't think it was 7.0).
After it started updating, it asked if I wanted to update something something else (I think it was an iOS update or something thing like that.).
I select update, because it looks legit, and why not update the whole computer when I'm taking the time to update iTunes? So the 15-20 minute installation estimation time turns into 2 hours (I think that it said that there was 2GB of update, but not sure.).
At that time, I think of how I don't remember if the update was 7.0 or not (maybe 6.9 or something like that was my thought.). So I tried to re-synched my i5 to make the pop up for iTunes 7.0 to come up. It came up, and I clicked the link to take me to Apple's site. I clicked the update to iTunes 7.0, and it started downloading from the internet, and it gave some download estimation time. Remember that the other iTunes and iOS thing was still updating while iTunes 7.0 was downloading. The problem was that I had to go to work a few minutes before the download of the iTunes 7.0 from Apple's site would complete and 1.5 hours before the other updates would finish. So I just left my MacBook Pro open, running, and updating/downloading.
After work, I checked my laptop, and it said something about finalizing the installation. So I hit that button to finalize or whatever it said, and it starts finalizing.
After waiting 10 or so minutes I check my MacBook Pro again, and it says that it needs to restart to complete the process. So I hit the restart button on the pop up.
It restarted, and against a blue screen there was a grey pop up that said that there was some error or something like that in the installation and that I needed to restart the computer again. There was only one button on the pop up, and it was the "Restart" button. So I pressed it, and it restarted again.
However, it didn't fully boot up (and to this day still doesn't) and get past the grey screen with the apple and the spinning gear thingy underneath it.
After like 20 minutes, I did a forced shut off, and rebooted while holding the option button to see if I could start my Windows side, since I have my computer bootcamped, though I haven't used Windows on it yet. The three options appeared: Windows something, Macintosh something, and Recovery HD. I clicked the Windows button, and after loading and stuff, Windows was running and working. So I'm pretty sure that my problem isn't a hardware problem, but a software problem.
So I asked a friend who is studying to be some kind of computer guy, and he suggested that I put in the Mac iOS X disk that I got with my MacBook Pro when I start up and try to get to Disk Utility. I did that, and was able to get to Disk Utility. And as he instructed, I (on the First Aid tab, I think) pressed "Verify Disk". He said that it started to look for problems and stuff. Then when it was done, I pressed the "Repair Disk", and he said it started fixing those problems. After it was done, I performed another forced shut off. I then turned my MacBook Pro on with crossed fingers, but it was still stuck on the gray screen with the apple and the gear.
He then suggested that we try to start it in Safe Mode, so we researched how to do it on my family's desktop. I tried holding Shift after the turn on tone and releasing it when the spinning gear appeared, but that didn't work. I'm still not sure if that's the right way to start in safe mode.
So right now I don't have any other ideas, besides spending money to get it fixed, which I don't want to do, cuz I'm not rich and I work hard for all these fancy toys.
It ***** to have the joy of getting the newest iPhone overshadowed by my MacBook Pro not working.
Someone, please help!!!

First off your older OS X boot disks are no good as you upgraded OS X to a later version.
When you held the option key down at boot, this entered Startup Manager and by what your describing you have Recovery HD, Macintosh HD (your OS X boot partition), and Windows BootCamp partition.
To repair the drive, you enter Recovery HD and use Disk Utiltiy there to repair the Macintish HD partition.
You also use Recovery HD to reinstall OS X 10.7 or 10.8 from Apple's servers, this should fix your problems without deleting your programs or files. (some third party with at boot kernel extension ones will have to be reinstalled)

Need help troubleshooting officejet4630 printing problem

I cannot print from my officejet 4630. I encountered the problem a few days ago and I have been working tirelessly to get this up and running again. The problem first started with my desktop, and the following day I was unable to print with my laptop.
In the laptop:
I have uninstalled and re-installed, I have downloaded print dr. and documents seemed to print sporadically, a half hour after I sent them to the queue.
in the desktop:
I have uninstalled, and I am unable to reinstall. It seems to get stuck at the network check. Ok, so I unplugged my router to see if connectivity was the problem. It's fine. I was able to get signal back to my desktop and my printer quickly. The signal is strong in both devices at all times (mine is the only computer in the house). So what the heck is going on? I've troubleshooted and I arriving at no clear answer. I'm reaching the end of my rope trying to figure this out, please help asap.

Hey @mhubbard,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I would like to work with you today with resolving the network communication and printing issues you're experiencing with your HP Officejet 4630 e-All-in-One Printer. I understand that this issue is affecting both your laptop and your desktop. You have also ran the Print and Scan Doctor tools, uninstalled and reinstalled, and powercycled your router to no avail. It is important to note that even though your signal strength for your network is great there is still a chance that your router could be blocking some communication to a printer.
Just so you are aware, when you network a printer there really is no grey area, the printer either works or it doesn't. If the printer doesn't work at all on a network than you may have a defective network card. However, if the printer connects to the network, even if it's an intermittent connection (slow printing, no communication, etc . . . ), it proves that the network card is functioning. Sometimes routers deem the printer as a threat trying to access the network and end up blocking some or all features of the printers network communication. This isn't something that is wrong with the router, it's just doing its job too well.
Now with that being said, I'm going to take you through some troubleshooting steps to get this product up and running consistently for you. Please run through the step-by-step troubleshooting steps below.
Step 1: Powercycle the Network:
I know you have already tried this, but there is a special way this should be done. If you haven't already please run the steps below.
1.First, unplug the power cable to your Router
2.Once your Router is unplugged, turn off your printer
3.Next, shut down your computer
4.After 30 seconds to 1 minutes, plug your Router back in
5.Next, turn on your printer
6.Turn on the computer
After a few moments the internet connection will reestablish itself. Check the internet on your computer and ensure it is working before proceeding.
Step 2: Reset the Winsock:
Please run the following steps on your Desktop computer.
The Network Installation Hangs on the 'Checking Network Environment' Screen
Step 3: Printer Doesn't Maintain Wireless Connection:
Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection
Should the steps in this document fail to resolve your issue than proceed to the next step.
Step 4: Open Router Ports:
There are certain ports on a router that allow wireless communication with the printer for printing and scanning. If you're not sure how to open these ports yourself, please contact the manufacturer of your router to do this for you.
Open: Incoming (UDP) Ports:
137, 138, 161, 427
Open: Outgoing (TCP) Ports:
137, 139, 427, 9100, 9220, 9500
Also, on the router ensure that:
Mac Filtering should be OFF
Firmware updated
Firewall may need to be 'off' for testing
Please let me know if the steps I've provided resolve your wireless communication and printing issues. Good luck!

Help trouble-shooting firefox https/http/something issues

I just wrote a very long post only to be told on trying to submit it that I did not have permission to access the page.
I am having various extremely frustrating issues in firefox.
Some of these seem to be profile or addon related but I cannot quite pin anything down.
With my default config:
1. I cannot post in any thread in the forums.
2. On tex.stackexchange.com, I cannot view many pictures in situ although I can view them in a new tab. These all seem to be hosted on http://i.stack.imgur.com.
3. If I login to the meta site for tex.stackexchange.com, I end up on the regular site for tex.stackexchange.com. Although I appear to be me when I go there, I cannot post or vote or anything. If I try to navigate to meta from the top bar menu, I get a warning from firefox that I can't trust the connection because the certificate is not valid for the domain with the "get me out of here!" button.
4. On SE's diagnostic site, https://meta.stackoverflow.com/network-login-help?, I get failures for both Messaging and Storage.
5. Disabling rules for sites in https everywhere doesn't help. Nor does disabling it completely and disabling the ssl observatory. When I do that, I still seem to get errors in ~/.xsession-errors:
SSL Observatory: Cert submission failure 0:
With a clean profile in safe-mode:
1. I just lost a post when I tried to submit saying I had no permission to access the page.
2. If I try to navigate to meta from the top bar menu on tex.stackexchange.com, I get a warning from firefox that I can't trust the connection because the certificate is not valid for the domain with the "get me out of here!" button.
3. On SE's diagnostic site, https://meta.stackoverflow.com/network-login-help?, I get a failure for just Messaging.
One of the problems is that what works one moment seems to fail the next and I can't get any robust work around which survives, say, a restart of the browser even using a clean profile. It is driving me nuts. Some of this is documented in this thread. (I always find firefox issues confusing.)
I first had problems at the same time as being bitten by a https everywhere bug which prevented login on SE sites. However, although that seems to have been resolved, the issues aside from that persist for me.
I am not using Arch's build but the 64bit from Mozilla. However, this version (26) worked for some time before I started seeing issues so I doubt it is a firefox update issue per se.
Does anybody have any thoughts about whether I am seeing one or several issues? how best to individuate them? and how best to diagnose them?
In the past, firefox issues have generally been entirely addon related and it has just been a question of being systematic but while some of this might be addon related, there seems to be a basic issue independent of my profile and addons. At least, so it seems given the failures in safe-mode with a clean profile. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as this is driving me not-so-slowly mad.

I was wondering why I hadn't seen any posts from you for a while!
I had an issue just the other day that sounds kind of like this. I couldn't post things on the forums, I couldn't log into a number of internet services, and things were just all around failing. It took me a while of trying to debug my own local network to finally realize that it wasn't actually my problem. In an effort to just see if things were getting through, I tried a speed test site. The ping time and download speeds were normal, but my upload was working hardly if at all.
So I called comcast and was told to stop by the comcast store to trade in for a new cable modem. I got home and it magically worked great. In fact, there were several small issues I had with the last cable modem that were suddenly gone.
A grrr about the situation. I had to go pick up the cable modem because they told me it would be $15 to ship the new modem out to me, and I would also have to pay for a service appointment. The lady on the phone told me that comcast had recently made it so that they could not wave the fee for such things, despite the fact that it was their won hardware that was causing the problems. Then of course when I went to the comcast place I took a number and waited a good two hours for a two minute cable box trade. Thanks comcast, your customer service sucks.

I'm really frustraded - Please help - Trouble with printing

Hello guys, Im programing a software for a parking lot in java. I need to print tickets with an EPSON U220 printer. When I print, the margins of the paper are all messed up. It seems I can only print from the half of the paper to the left. What can it be? also, when I print from notepad the same happens, half of the paper is blank and only the other half prints.
How could I solve this problem?
Where could I start reading?
Thanks ALOT for your time!
Best regards
Michel

I need help trouble shooting.... Screen/Monitor related.

My monitor was going reddish/flickering and the backlight was going out so i can i could only barely see what's on the screen. The screen would also just blackout if it was on the brightest setting before.
A couple of days ago i replaced the CCFL backlight. No problems lights up nicely when the screen is not attached. When i try to attach the screen to the hinges it will short out the lamp. So basically, if the lcd frame (metal portion) touches the left or right hand sided "hinges or metal" that it screws into it will short hte lamp out. I just have to put it back into sleep mode and then restart it w/o the lcd touching hte metal. I've replaced the inverter, that did not help.
I am replacing the LCD cable when the part comes in. The whole laptop is taken apart. I can not find any exposed wires. Does anybody have anymore suggestions. I am out of ideas.
T60, model 2007-64U, 14.1 screen. HELP

I give up!!!
All parts don't fix the problem... I tried insulating the metal pseudo works... now the screen shuts off when its touched or moved. Different problems now....
I have decided after a week and half of fixing and spending $50 in replacing CCFL, inverter, and LCD cable I am junking the T60 and leaving IBM/Lenovo.
Going to go get a Mac Book Pro.
Cheers to everyone here... see ya.

I called apple tech support and explained what i had done and were kind enough to work with me for over a hour to resolve this problem and to get my systems all working.They are the and kindest folks that i have ever worked with.
mini mac Mac OS X (10.4.5)
