HP 895CSE Prints Weird Characters on 1st Page per Print Job

My printing always prints one line of characters on the 1st page, followed by the correct document on the second. When I had the previous operating system, no problem like this occurred. I have reinstalled the printer driver for OS 10.5, still same result. Any suggestions?

Weird Characters on Web Pages

I am suddenly seing weird "symbol" or "dingbat" characters on web pages instead of letters, and this is happening on all browsers I try (firefox, safari, explorer). How do I fix this?

Most likely it's a bad font or font cache. Helvetica Fractions and Times Phonetic are the most common. See this note:

If that doesn't help, email a screen shot (tom at bluesky dot org).

Weird characters displayed on page instead of file download/preview

Hi everyone,
I have a download file procedure as per the instructions on the download.oracle.com page
The download of the files worked just fine (or better say they were previewed in a new page) but recently a new schema has been added to the workspace so we can start the testings from the scratch.
I modified the schema name where needed, but not the download page acts kinda weird, as instead of the file preview, I get a long page full of:
��JFIF�,,��&�Exif��MM�*��b��j(��1��r2��i��-��'�-��'Adobe Photoshop CS3 Windows�2008:07:28 16:41:20��]��&(��.��%��H��H��JFIF��H�H��Adobe_CM�
The issue is that if I switch back to the old schema, the result is the same. So, anyone has any idea of what can cause this?
Thank you
Regards
Andrea

Thanks!
PS: Some updates...I tried it in IE as well (I use FF when working with applications) and funny enough the photos and documents get displayed/the download box shows up.
But, all the files have the name f. f.pdf, f.jpeg etc
I tried calling the dl_image procedure in the url (currently I call a new page where I pass the file id to an application id and then I call the above procedure in a pl/sql block):
http://www.host/pls/dad/schema.dl_file?p_fileid=1
And the name seems ok. I don't think it's a good idea to put the procedure name in the link, is it?

[SOLVED] Weird characters in man pages

Hi,
I remember I had read a similar thread, but I can't find it anymore.
My problem is that man pages show strange characters and it's quite difficult to read at times. Here is an example:
The traditional protocol for writing to someone is that the string <80><98>-o', either at the end of a line or on a line by itself, means that it's the other person's turn to talk. The string
<80><98>oo' means that the person believes the conversation to be over.
How do I fix this?
Thanks.

Hello
Here is a post on that problem if you can read french : http://forums.archlinuxfr.org/viewtopic.php?id=1084
The members suggested to replace
export LESSCHARSET="utf8"
by
export LESSCHARSET="UTF-8"
in /etc/profile.
One suggest to replace the line inside /etc/man.conf (from the gentoo wiki fr)
NROFF iconv -f utf8 -t iso8859-1 | /usr/bin/nroff -Tlatin1 -c -mandoc
I must admit that it doesn't work for me neither, and the above does not solve the problem. The file I tested is UTF-8 encoded and the LESSCHARSET defined to use UTF-8 gives badly accentuated characters (But at least printable characters). I think you will have to tweak a little these lines, but it's a start.
Note that these lines suit (or don't suit) french man pages, but you may have to change the given charsets (especially latin1).
Hope it will help you search

Edit: Ah, time to write the answer, the problem is solved !
Edit2: The tip given by dyscoria does not work for me.

How to print the Actual Check on 1st Page if line items are more for F110_p

Hi,
How to print the Actual Check on 1st page if the line items are more in F110_PRENUM_CHCK script. The standard script is printing at the last page of line items.
I tried using
IF &PAGE& EQ '1 '
/E 545 --> text element
ENDIF
but it is of no use.
Please let me know if anyone knows. Thanks in Advance.

Hi Krishna,
I guess, there is no other possible way to acheive this without modifying the standard driver program. Why because? in you driver program you check window will be called only on the last page... but before you change your driver program give a try like shown below....
Not sure, but give a try... In the first page you will be printing some void check try to replace the code inside the text element of void check with original check and make all the check void... note: in this text element, be sure you write two conditions...
IF &PAGE& = 1.
**PRint all check values..
ELSE.
***Print void values
ENDIF.
Close the thread if your question is answered.

Sairam

Alv List print printer information in 1st page

Hi,
At the time of alv list printing the following information is printed on 1st page. How to avoid this information when printing.
INITSTRING
Start r_3-Prolog
Drucker : Wipro EX-330+DX
System : RAP (reprdfo)
User : 11BO
End r_3-Prolog
Thanks in advance.

Hi GoldMoon,
(edit) Print another basic ABAP list (print anything else) on the same printer to see if that first page is printed. If yes, it's probably either SAP, OS, or Print Server cover page. They are explained in "cover page" SDN wiki, there are explanations how the cover page can be output (and so you can deduce how to remove it).
Best regards,
Sandra

Printing Large PDF's, only the 1st page prints

I'm not sure if anyone else has seen this but when we print to a network printer only the 1st page prints.. We have Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Pro 11 loaded.
Any assistance is appreciated

I believe there are other options out there for around that price but there's none I can personally recommend. Plus, if you DO find something that looks right, you'll want to check to see if tiling is available.
Keep in mind that Reader is made more for document sharing than it is for things like oversize prints. That's why they've probably never bothered to add tiling.
Good luck.

Pages, downloaded from the web, beyond the 1st page appear 50% reduced when printed. How can I resolve this?

How can I resolve a recent printing problem I'm experiencing regarding downloads from the web where pages beyond the 1st page appear 50% reduced when printed or lines of type at bottoms of pages are missing?

David,
Thanks for the reply. I wish I could tell you that your suggestions solved my problem - they didn't.
I've deleted the affected printer, then added the printer again; I've reset the printing system, then added the printer again; I've downloaded printer drivers, deleted the affected printer, then added the printer again.
I plan to contact hp later this week for further assistance as you suggest.
My printer is a hp OfficeJetPro L7590.
I've enclosed screen shots illustrating the situation.
Regards,

How to print just the 1st page of multiple emails?

Hi dear fellows,
my company sends out newsletters to 1400 subscribed users every now and then. And of course there're always some error messages coming back. In the batch of last month it were 341, each 3 pages long with an error log and the newsletter. Now, for documentation purposes and to deal with the various issues, I would like to print the error messages 2x2 per page, without the attached newsletter of the original message. With Entourage it was a matter of minutes, now I'm trying for hours and I'm out of ideas.
Basically I'm looking for the the command: "print the 1st page of each of this 341 mails with a 2x2 layout"
I appreciate your help, thanks a lot and have a nice weekend,
greetings from Germany, Berlin,
Jan

HI,
Just create a Standard text, if you are going to use this standard text in other layouts also... and use it otherwise you can hard code it as this its of only 10 lines.
declare one more element in the main window itselft and call it atlast it would print in the last page..
CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'
EXPORTING
ELEMENT = 'FOOTER'<b><- This element should contain the agreement details</b>
FUNCTION = 'SET'
TYPE = 'BODY'
WINDOW = 'MAIN'
EXCEPTIONS
ELEMENT = 1.
Thanks

Adobe Reader 9.1 only printing 1st Page of Documents

When printing documents from Adobe Reader 9.1.0, it will only print the 1st page of the document, even if I have 'All' selected when my print dialouge box pops up.
Any ideas on a fix?

Hello:
You might also wish to supply us with the printer make/model and if it's a local or network printer. Similar issues in the past have been resolved by updating the print driver.
Thanks!

How to delete the 1st page of aging report

Dear All,
When we print Aging report from SAP (statement one page per customer), it print the parameters page to the 1st page. As our customer want to send the statement by email from SAP, they don't want to send the 1st page to the customer. Is there a way when we print the statement, we don't print the 1st page? They don't want to export the statement to a PDF file and send it from outlook. They want to send the statement directly. That means we cannot have the 1st page in the layout. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Yuka

Gordon, Thanks for the reply. Their issue is, they don't want to print it to a printer. They want to SEND it by outlook integration. So the whole report will be in one attachment and they don't want to see page 1st.

Yuka

My Mac won't read cyrillic in certain files and displays instead weird characters like this: "–í–µ-Ç–µ-Ä –ø-Ä–æ–¥–∏-Ä–∞–µ-Ç –¥–æ –∫–æ-Å-Ç–µ–π." Any ideas why this might be or how I can solve it?

Yesterday I extracted the subtitles of an MKV file to try and print them. Unfortunately, when I open the .srt file with any text processor, it displays weird characters like the ones included in the title:
"–û–±—ã–≤–∞—Ç–µ–ª–∏ –ø–µ—á–∞–ª—å–Ω—ã.
–í–µ—Ç–µ—Ä –ø—Ä–æ–¥–∏—Ä–∞–µ—Ç –¥–æ –∫–æ—Å—Ç–µ–π."
I thought this had to do with it being an .srt file, but just now I encountered the same problem with an Excel file.
Any ideas why this might be or suggestions as to how to solve it?
Thanks in advance,
Mario

It looks like an encoding problem. You should try opening the file in a text editor where you can choose one of the various possible cyrillic encodings (utf-8, koi8-r, iso-8859-5, win-1251, MacCyrillic)

Strange characters and symobls print in the middle of a print job. Help.

In the middle of a print job, whether one page or several, it starts printing strange characters and symbols until the end of the job. It will do this in the middle of the page, or after printing one line of English and the rest of the page in gibberish.
It usually does this while printing off bank statements from the internet or a pdf file pulled from the internet. I don't think it has ever printed any of my documents.
However, it has done this while printing a bill received as an attachment to an email from a friend.
The next print job will usually be back to "normal". But one day, it did this many times during the day. Frustrating!
Appreciate any help.

I had this happen to me with a PDF file once. I called Support at HP,
and they told me it was because I had labeled the PDF as "text" when
it actually has (technically) "pictures" in it -- the printer didn't know how
to print those "pictures" (symbols?) as "text," so it came out as gibberish.
Perhaps there's a teckie here who can tell you more eloquently. [And
what to do about it!]
HTH!

Sending Attachments-Only 1st Page of PDF Gets Through

Hello Everyone--I've converted several Appleworks documents into PDF files and have been attempting to send them via email. The PDFs look perfectly fine when I view them on my desktop, however, when I email them only the 1st page of some of the multi-page PDFs actually shows up on the other end. Seem like very strange behavior. Any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks,
John

Thanks for the suggestions so far. Just got home from work and checked the file--It's actually only 1 page long. The file itself, similar to the other one is at least 6 pages long. I've tried several times and it won't save the entire document as a PDF, just the first page. Now I'm even more confused than before. Just to note: I'm saving it as PDF the normal way, by opening the Print dialoque and then choosing the "Save as PDF" option.

XDC - print a empty page after the print job

Hi Folks,
i have a problem. i use a xdc file to select multiple trays and after the printing job an additional separator sheet should be "printed" . Its only a empty sheet, which should be at the end of the printjob.
Could somebody give me a hint? I checked the pcl commands and i got the idea to send a line feed and carriage return command, but im not sure whats happen and if this is possible, could i select the tray for this?
Thanks a lot for any Idea or Tip,
kind regards
Alex

Wasil, thanks for the response, but i havent found any info to do a separator sheet in this link. I know that i have to do this in the xdc, but i dont know how. I found a plc command to do this, but the problem is that i not understand how to fill this in the xdc.
Here ist the Part from my XDC File. Ok, its possible that this is at the wrong point, but im sure i have an error in the escaping.
The Printer i use is a Ricoh MP5002sp. I only found the escaping like i did, but i get a pdf generation error with this part:
   <seq id="postDoc"><ESC/>%-12345X@PJL RDYMSG DISPLAY=""
<ESC/>H1B\L%-12345X@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE=PCL
<ESC/>H1B\L&l4H
<ESC/>H1B\L&l1T\0
<ESC/>M\B\S\N\U 
<ESC/>U\LJob : \I
<ESC/>U\LDate: \D
<ESC/>U\LTime: \T
<ESC/>E
</seq>
The PLC commands i foun on a website looks like this:
\H1B\L%-12345X@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE=PCL    <-- Puts printer into PCL mode
\H1B\L&l1H    <-- This command pulls the sep sheet from Tray 2
\H1B\L&l1T\0    <-- Job Reset. Sets USTATUS counters etc,
\M\B\S\N\U    <-- Prints user name in large characters
\U\LJob : \I    <-- Prints spool ID number
\U\LDate: \D   <-- Prints date
\U\LTime: \T    <-- Prints time
\E    <-- Exits banner page and begins actual print job
But in my case it will be enough to select the tray and "print" the empty sheet...
thanks a lot for your your help...and it could be a easy task...but it looks like im a "dau" :-)
