HP printer only prints blank pages from Word or Pages

My HP all in one printer only prints blank pages from Word or Pages documents, prints ok from anything else.  Any ideas? Have deleted and readded printer removed HP software reinstalled software from Apple etc. Help please!

If this just happens from these two programs, it's most likely a driver conflict.  If typically using an alternate driver will alow you to get around this.  To try this, add the printer's que to the Mac.  Click the dropdown next to Use and choose a driver that's not for your printer.  Typically the best one to try is another Photosmart dirver, but Deskjet drivers will work as well.  I would make the instructions a bit more clear, but I don't have access to a 10.6 Mac.  Let me know if this works or not.

  • Printer only printing two pages, any application

    I have a Samsung ml-4600 laser printer connected via USB to an Ibook. It worked great for years, but now, no matter which application I'm using (TextEdit, Word, Powerpoint, Safari), the printer only prints two pages. Even if I print using the printer as a shared device, it'll only print TWO pages!
    I've tried:
    - printing ranges instead of just selecting 'all'
    - tried different applications
    - switched USB ports and cable
    - uninstall and reinstalled driver from Samsung
    - removed and re-added printer to printer list
    - removed the printpref preference files from library/prefs
    - repair disk permissions
    - update all OS X software
    Now, I can print from a different powerbook using a direct cable connection and it'll print no problem, so the problem is limited to this 800 mhz g4 ibook.
    This just started happening, any ideas?
    thanks

    Make sure you are using the 1.2.0.224 version of the driver. If you already are, you can try using the gutenprint driver.

    Hi,
    It depends on the software you are using, what is it ? In general you can select a range or just a number of pages.

  • How do I get a print to pdf file option from Word and PP?

    I have windows vista. How do I get a print to pdf file option from Word and PP?

    Do you own Acrobat? If so what version? If not what version of Word and PP do you have? Newer versions contain non-Adobe software for creating pdfs. If you do not own Acrobat that it would be best to check in a Microsoft forum on how to use Word to create pdfs.

  • My 4630 printer only prints the first page and then cancels

    My 4630 printer only prints the first page and then cancels the rest of the document. I have to manually choose to print one page at a time. If I try to print a document, it prints the first page and then cancels printing the rest of it. It's driving me crazy. I just bought this printer and, other than that, it works fine. I tried the HOTFIX link that was attached to a previous link as well as other microsoft updates, however, am still having no luck.

  • '' Prints only print'' never map directions on PC.

    I have both a picture of printer on my bookmark bar.  When I want to print the whole page exactly like it is......but the printer only printer the wording not the picture directions.  I have printed receipes very good with both pic & directions.  I have a Tosiba Chromebook laptop.  I have changed all ink so that is not the problem.  Also have not figured out how to get the HP appt??  thanks so much for your help.

    Hello @mattesmom1,
    Welcome to the HP forums.
    I understand that you are having problems printing map directions from your Chromebook.
    I would like to help.
    A lot of map/direction sites are designed differently then a recipe site.
    With a recipe, the images are on teh web page.
    With the directions/map sites, the image is not static.
    That is why often you can zoom in or out on the map.
    On the Web page that you are trying to print from, there should be a print option.
    This will be separate from the ones you normally use.
    This will bring up a printer friendly version of the directions.
    This should then print the image along with the written direction.
    If I may, what site are you trying to print the map directions from?

  • How can I keep the formatting when converting from Word to pages?

    How can I keep the formatting when converting from Word to pages?

    Use only formatting that is supported (in the same manner) in both applications. You'll need to find which that is through trial and error. Beyond those formatting options, you'll need to do some corrections, as Fruhulda suggests.

    Hi vicky611,
    Does it print in landscape orientation exclusively from one program, or one device?

  • I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

    I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

    The template is a document in itself, it is not applied to an existing document whether it is a Pages document or a Word document converted to a Pages document.
    You would need to either copy and paste content, using existing styles, or apply the styles to the converted Word document.
    You can Import the Styles from an existing document and those imported Styles can be used to override the current document's styles:
    Menu > Format > Import Styles
    The process is simplified if the styles use the same names, otherwise you will need to delete the style you don't want and replace it with the one that you do want when asked, then the substitution is pretty straightforward.

  • Endnote bibliography transfer from word to page not aligned?

    I have a word document with endnote bibliography that I need to transfer to my page document which also has its own bibliography. Somehow, after I copy and paste the content from word to page, the bibliography is not coordinate. It became two separate parts (e.g. one section from word and the other from page. These two sections are not alphabaticlally arranged and combined as one bibliography) How can I make it coordinate with each other?  Thanks!!

    the version of my endnote is X4
