HP 7280 outputs a blank page before every page printed

Newly-installed 7280 works fine, but everytime something is printed, it outputs a blank page before every printed page. This is true whether printing from Word, IE, Outlook, Quicken, Photoshop, etc.
I have checked all likely culprits in the printer dialog boxes, including clearing the Separator Page option.
Any thoughts?

are your computers running windows XP or Vista? because in Vista, if it uses the pre-installed drivers that come with the OS, then it prints blank sheets between the printed sheets. if you install the driver from the CD directly, then it has resolved the issue a lot of times for me.
so to the properties of the printer, and go to the Advanced Tab, and click in New Driver. and in teh wizard, select HP Photosmart 'C7200' and not Photosmart '7200' (considering it is the Photosmart C7280). that should work.

The setup button on the printer had a choice to return to all factory defaults - that solved the problem but it does take yoiu back to starting again to set other choices you may have made since starting toi use the devise.

Is it possible to force Firefox to load a url in a tab when opening a new page (before the page has loaded)?

Recently when using a rather unreliable internet connection I'm often get dropped connections that prevent pages from loading.
In the past this used to result in an "Unable to connect to server page" when the timeout happened, which was fine as I could just refresh the page.
These days however the page is timing out when the page is still on the about:blank stage (or stuck on the current page), before the url has been updated, so I'm losing the address.
Is there any way to force firefox to update the url as soon as the page load request is made, as opposed to when it recieves a response from the server (which is how it seems to work at the moment)?

If you click a link then Firefox may only be showing the URL on the location bar if at least there is a connection to the server.
If you are on Linux then it should take minutes before the connection times out, at least that is what I see (on Windows it is only 20 seconds). This might be different in case the connection drops.
There should be a try again button of the net error page to reload this link.
Don't you see such a button?
You can start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Firefox and default site - when I open firefox google comes up fine - but any other sibsequesnt page I have to type in google can I set up a default page for every page that I open up in a window

Hello
When I open Firefox, google comes up as my default page. This is fine but if I open additional windows next to the default page nothing comes up.
Can you set google or any other page to be the default page in any window I open. It is annoying to have to keep on typing google in every time I want to open a new page with firefox

You can modify the pref keyword.URL on the about:config page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or Google's "Browse By Name".
* Google "I'm Feeling Lucky": http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
* Google "Browse by Name": http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=

How do I block advertisement pages loading before the page I want?

I keep getting advertisement pages before the page I want will load and I have to click a "skip this ad" on the top right before I can get the one I want to load. It happens when I start the browser and wont let my home page load until I click the "skip this ad". It just started doing this after updating to Firefox 12.0 and I already have Ad Block Light with the what ever it's called I had to add to it before it would work. But its not working right or maybe not at all.
When I search for something in Google or Yahoo and click on something, instead of that I get a ad page first. When I click a link to another page I get a ad page first, when I use a bookmark for a page I get a ad page first. How do I stop this?

Are you getting this ad page on every single website you go to, or just a few?
If it's everyone, I'd suspect a virus or some sort.
You can try some of the following programs to scan for malware:
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
* [http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] (A good permanent anti-virus if you don't already have one)
Further information can be found in the [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] article.
Also, make sure to update to Firefox 14, and then Reset Firefox if you are still having trouble. [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]

PSC 1210 page feed before and after printing

My PSC 1210 has been working fine for years but it has just recently started feeding a blank page before and after printing. That wouldn't be a problem except that the blank pages are not fully ejected, this means that I have to grab the first blank page, as it comes through the printer, and pull it out, otherwise it gets drawn back in causing a paper jam when the actual print job starts. Once this blank page has been removed the print job continues perfectly.
This occurs when printing documents, copying using the scanner, and printing a test page.
I have removed and reinstalled the printer driver/software and performed a partial reset on the printer, neither fixed the problem.

I see you mention that the issue also happens when you are copying, that means that this issue is not related to your printer software. So that's good to know!
Now, since this is not a software issue, this must then be related to your hardware. Is this printer plugged into a wall outlet directly or is it plugged into a surge protector? To be sure that the printer gets all the power it needs make sure that it is plugged directly into a wall outlet.
First things first, I would recommend unplugging the printer for about 30 seconds from both the back of the unit and from the wall outlet, and then plugging it back in. Try making a copy or print and see if the issue persists.
You can also try cleaning the paper feed rollers in the printer, here is a document that can show you where all of those are located and how to clean them.

I open any page on Firefox and the page dimms and a box appears with number 2 and a button (ok) ,I have to press ok to continue Why does this box keep appearing on every page and site and hyow do i stop it ?

I have uninstalled and reinstalled a few different versions of firefox to check if this was the problem but no. As soon as firefox has started the box appears with the triangle with ! in it the number 2 and the button ,ok.
I have to press ok to get the page on every page i open. I need help!

This is caused by the InternetEngine - Powering Applications! extension. If you uninstall that extension it should stop this happening.

Split a FOUR sheet page into FOUR page in the right Order

Hei,
I have a PDF file in which every page is filled with four singel sheets (pages). The owner made this to save paper for printing. To make it more clear: page 1,2,3 and 4 are on ONE single page. Now I want to split them again to have page 1 on one page, page 2 on one page, page 3 on one page and page 4 on one page and so on. The document contains 50 page with four pages on every page. In sum it will be 200 pages in the end.
I am searching the net for hours now for a solution and can´t find ANY! I managed to split the pages (in a lot of work) and merged them together in a new document. The order is wrong now: 1,5,9 till 50 and then its 2,6,10 and so on. I really don´t want to order 200 pages by hand... and there are more documents (four files) with the same problem.
My question: Is there an option to automatically SPLIT a page IN FOUR equal parts and put them automatically in the right order?
And yes, I asked the person to give me the original files. But it is not possible.
Thank you very much for your help.

Inserting one page after ALL pages in a doc

Hi all,
I have multiple documents that I need printed double-sided at a shop. Originally, it was supposed to be single-sided. Now, it needs to be double sided but the back side is the same on every page. So, I am trying to insert a document B (1 page) after every page in document A (many pages) so it is new the back side.
Is there a way to do this automatically? One PDF is 184 pages and inserting it one at a time in too time consuming.
Thanks much in advanced!

It is possible with Acrobat Javascript.

ID CS5 Print Booklet - page orientation isn't printing correctly

I've been printing the same eight page booklet in CS4 with the print booklet feature just fine for a while now. I opened the file in CS5 and could not get the file to orient correctly. The first spread is always correct, then subsequent pages are cut off because they're printed landscape on a portrait sheet. Page setup is set to 12x18 and the preview looks correct in the dialogue, but when it processes through my rip the pages are altered.
Note, I saved the file down as .idml and reopened in CS4 and it printed perfectly, just as I remembered.
Is anyone else having this problem?

I have the same problem printing to a Canon ImageRUNNER C1 via a Q1 RIP server from a Mac using OS 10.6.
The main issue is printing in Landscape. When the print is duplexed, single-sided, or booklet - if the print has multiple pages printed in Landscape orientation it rotates the second page (and every page after) 90 degree from the first page.
This makes booklet-style printing impossible without printing to PDF and duplex printing out of Acrobat.
The curious thing is: 1- The first page is ALWAYS fine. Every page after that rates and 2- Portrait pages print fine, even duplexed. If I print a four page booklet with two pages duplexed on each side of a Portrait-oriented page I have no problem.
If this is a driver error it is specific to InDesign CS5 as the files print fine out of Acrobat, InDesign CS4, and even InDesign CS3 - if I save it back that far.
Canon claims it's not their issue and doesn't think it's worth any type of driver update.
Also, when the same file is printed to a lesser quality color printer I can duplex in landscape without problems.

Report views correctly in Report Viewer but on export or print, blank page inserted after every page

Hi all
I'm hoping someone has an idea what is causing this issue. I am using Crystal 2008 and have created many reports over the years, with no issue like this.
I have had to create a label file for an Avery label that does not appear in the Crystal Reports default list of label definitions (have done this many times before for other labels, with no issue).
The report displays perfectly in the CR Report Viewer, however once the report is sent either to PDF export or to the printer, an extra blank page is inserted after every page of the report.
The fact that it displays correctly in the viewer means there is nothing in the report that is amiss.... there is something going on when the report is sent out.
I've read a lot of similar problems, however the idea that it is a network problem doesn't explain why the hundreds of other reports I've created exactly the same way... do not have this problem!
Does anyone know the answer to this puzzle?
regards
Kaz

Hi Karen
Here is the issue. When you look at the report in the viewer you see this:
Notice the dashed line after the body of each label. That line is there because the report is formatted to be a column report:
So the viewer shows you that there is another column to be printed / exported and that is what is happening with the report.

When I closed out of yahoo email, get a blank page on every tab if any are opened. I have to exit out & restart firefox . It does not happen w/any other browser.

When I sign off on yahoo email. I get a blank page on every tab if any are opened. I have to exit out & restart firefox . It does not happen w/any other browser. I have no malware or viruses. Please advise.

Actually, it's not obvious & common sense would dictate that users' bookmarks would not be left stuck to random computers even once they've logged out of the account. No one wants that if it's a public work computer or if they're traveling & use an Internet cafe. As I am not the only one who has noticed this issue or had bookmarks disappear/be deleted, in addition, common sense would indicate it's not really a very good system. And carrying around a flashdrive to run Firefox off of it is a good solution? Really? Just curious why a useful feature such as being able to login & use your preferences & bookmarks & then logging out removes your preferences when you're gone hasn't been developed. Yahoo keeps my preferences when I logout (it's called My Yahoo!). Maybe a My Firefox or My Chrome solution could be developed.
