I am having printing problems, please help

I go on a website to get an application wich is in a pdf format and i try and print it and i get an error saying i have to install a printer before being able to print etc. my printer is installed , powered on, attached. so I don't know what the issue is, please help, you can also reply to me at [email address deleted by host]

IPhoto Printing Problems - please help!

Hi All,
I'm having continued problems trying to sort out printing from iPhoto '09. I dont have a great printer - Epson Photo r265 so it is a cheapy however it does print fine. If I print from my PC to this printer it works perfectly. Therefore I assumed there was a driver issue between the mac and the printer. Finally I worked out how to get the correct epson driver as opposed to apples version installed and set as default. Now the photos no longer have crazy lines all over them but the quality remains very poor by comparison to printing on this printer using the same photo from other sources.
I then downloaded Epsons easy photo print. If I print using this very basic package on the mac now the quality is much better (still not amazing though but certainly acceptable). So it sounds like problem solved??? ..... NO!!! The problem is that the Epson Easy Photo Print software cannot 'see' the photos in iPhoto and so to print, you first have to copy photos to desktop or some place else outside of iPhoto. This all seems due to iPhoto's wierd need to keep its arms locked around the photos within it with the result that when you look in Finder all you see is a file called "iPhoto Library" .... and 3rd party software as simple as this epson print package cannot translate this and see the photos within.
Can anyone help here and give some options?
1. Is it actually possible to print at good quality from iPhoto?
2. Is there other printing software I can use which will actually be able to see the photos in iPhoto Library
3. I even though my printer is very cheap and basic i know it is not its fault - that said are there printers better optimised to use with a mac? I would consider changing the printer if needed as I'm really sick of this.
4. Can I change the iPhoto settings somehow to stop all my photos appearing as a single file - "iPhoto Library"??
All help much appreciated.

The first of these might help:
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 and later*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and later* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
For users of 10.6 and later:
You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and later:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Very Very Urgent...Printing problem please help me.....

Hi there,
Today, i struggled with one printing problem. can anybody help me please!. We are preparing reports using reports 10g. I created a report with orientatin of Landscape and Paper size is 11.5*8.5 that is A4 size and right margin 0.2 left margin with 0.2 and top and bottom margins with 0.5.Report output is correctly coming in report builder runtime. Now the actual problem is, this report must linked to one server for example http://xx.xx.xxxx.main.html.we linked the report generated by me to this link.
when i run the report using this weblink, report is displayed in htmlcss(i opted) perfectly,now user can take the printout of this report by clicking print from file menu. The actual problem i faced is when i run this report in html link report is correctly displaying but paper size is letter and page margin are right 0.75 and left 0.75 defualtly. When i print the report with these setings date is truncating when user takes printout in html. User don't know the page margins i.e right o.2 both left and right (actually in report builder). So he cant adjust it correctly in file menu pagesetup in html page.He simply click print and it should come as with report builder margin settings. To solve this i change the default preferences in control panel ---printers, but no use. Is it possible to pass margins both right,left and top bottom margins as runtimeparameters in url of the this report. Is there any alternative way.
Please do reply urgent, becoz since this is my clients urgent requirement,help me
Thanks and regards
thanx in advance.

Hi,
Though HTMLCSS pages are created using the same page margins that you specify in the report definition, the problem may become more clear to you if you try to create PDF files instead of HTMLCSS. Set DESFORMAT=pdf, and see the output PDF file in Acrobat Reader. Do you see the margins that you want, or is the problem still the same? If you don't see the correct margins even in the PDF file, it probably means you need to modify your report definition to get the margins you want.
In case you see the correct margin in PDF output, it means that your report design is fine. The problem is with printing. In that case, I think what other people have suggested you is true - probably the printable area for your particular printer is less than what you want.
I'm afraid I may not be the best person to specify the printer or OS settings. Please consult your printer vendor.
The other option may be to get output in PDF format, and print PDF files.

Ridiculous printing problem - please help!

Hello, I have Photoshop CS5 and an Artisan 800 printer, and I'm in the middle of the biggest printer nightmare I've ever had.
I need to print a DVD insert, printing to regular letter paper in landscape mode. 11x8.5. Landscape is selected. Letter is selected in the printer. So both Photoshop and the printer know they're dealing with the same size. But when I click print, I get the stupid 'Image is larger than paper's printable area, some clipping will occur' warning, which is weird, because the image size and the paper size are exactly the same.
Then things actually start getting weird. If I tell it to print anyway, it cuts the image off a few inches before the end of the righthand side of the page. If I tell it to scale to fit media, then print, it cuts the image off at the same spot, as if nothing was changed. My PPI is 300. I've checked and rechecked that the settings are the same on the printer and in photoshop.
Finally, I figured maybe it was somehow just my document causing the problem. So I open a new document, and tell it to print just a regular 8.5x11 letter. Didn't even put anything there. Just printing a blank page.
It says it's too big to fit on the paper!
I'm working on a fairly big job right now and need to print forty of these things by Monday. I'd really rather not have to go to Kinko's or something, as this is all out of my pocket. Plus I can't believe that with a program I spent this much money on, and a two hundred dollar printer, an 8.5x11 page is too big for me to print. Any help is greatly appreciated!

You have not provided enough information for others to help or clarify things for you..
What exact version of Photoshop are you on? 12.0.4? 12.1? Perhaps you have not applied any updates at all?
What exact version of the OS are you running?
What exact version of the printer driver?
What are the exact pixel dimensions of your image? (How many pixels wide by how many pixels high?)

HP Photosmart B109n-z (printing problem) please help

Hi all,
I have the HP Photosmart B109n-z printer and have it set up wirelessly and it works fine I've had no problems with it.
The other day the black ink stopped working - the cartridge isn't empty but it's no longer prinking black on any documents. I have since put all new cartridges in, it recognises them all, including the black one, and if I'm printing something like a word document then it moves as if printing but the page comes out blank - no black ink is used.
I work for myself and work from home so need to get this resolved asap.
I've checked the cartidge - it's good.
I've checked the connection and print cartridge bay - they're clean.
Please help.
The colour is working fine.
The black ink issue is the same whether printing, scanning, or copying.
And I have tried turning everything off and on again!!!
This question was solved.

Printer Problems please help!

I have the C4480 all in one printer. I have searched the forums and troubleshooting pages and still cannot resolve the issue. When I insert a memory card from my digital camera directly into the printer I can print pictures without any problems. The copy function also works fine. The issue is I cannot print images or documents from the computer. When I press print it will take the page in about half way then it stops and just sits there. After about 5 or 10 minutes it will spit the page out but it only prints the first few lines of the image, the rest of the page is left blank. Also, the power button on the printer flashes while this is happening but no error messages are displayed. I have tried downloading the newest drivers. I also un-installed all the software and reinstalled but am still having the same issue, not sure what else I can try. Thanks for any help.

I'd like to suggest you go to www.tune-up.com and download and install this program.
You get a 30 day free trial to start. If you sign up as a reseller you can get the program for $29 after that.
I'm not an employee of the company but I just recommend the program as it has fixed many a friends
problems and has kept my computers and my familys computers running straight and clean with no problems.
Even if you don't buy the program after using it and it fixes your problems you can uninstall it and consider it a blessing.
I'm sure once you see what it can do you will think twice to buy it.
Other than that, I don't know much about your system to even begin to try to tell you what to do as a troubleshooter.
It could be any number of things that are wrong with it. Number one, the registry might be really messed up.
Tune-up will fix that fix off for you. A computer is like a car, it has to be kept in tune in order to keep running right.
Another problem area is malware and viruses. We all know about them but do we ever really know if we might have been bit
by any of them. Most times not until something serious causes us problems. Can I suggest another program you might try?
AVG Internet Security 2011 at www.avg.com. It's another 30 day free trial program. I am also a reseller and have all my computers
and family members registered and using it.
I can tell you that with only these two programs installed on your computer you can rest easy and use your computer without any fears or problems. Let me know how it goes for you. Good luck.

Well, if they have truly disappeared then something is really messed up. For really messed up stuff, you need to set it to factory default condition, and then afterwards, restore it from your backup.

X-Fi Fatal1ty Plat1num Champion Ed. problem, please help!

9X-Fi Fatalty Platnum Champion Ed. problem, please help!? Hi there everyone,
So i have a X-Fi Fatalty Platnum Champion Ed. and a computer with Windows 7.
I've searched the web and i found many people saying that the card it's working and perfectly compatible so i would like to exclude this option as far as the problems that i'm having.
So, right out of the box i've placed the front panel in with the ribbon cable and the power connected to it, then i connected the other end of the ribbon cable and finally placed the card in one of the PCI slots i have free.
Now, when i start my PC, i don't hear any particolar "beep messages" but nothing will come on the screen, in few words my PC will not boot at all. I can hear the HDD spinning, everything sounds normal except for that "little" problem.
So, i re-did all the connections thinking that maybe i did something wrong, but following the instruction i did exactly as told. So i tried again to power up the computer and i've noticed that the X-Fi logo is lit up (red light) and.. I don't really know if that means something or it's just something aside that doesn't really matter.. But, what is it's The PCI card is broken or there's something else?
I did try to disable the sound card (integrated mobo sound) from the BIOS but that didn't change anything. I did try all the software options but this looks like more of an hardware problem (please correct me if i'm wrong and/or i've missed something).
There's something that popped up in my mind.. the PSU. I noticed that i have a 300W PSU (mm.. low, isn't it's)?and i was wondering if that's enough or i need a more powerful one.. and if that's may be the case for the PCI to not work at all causing all i've already explained above. I mean.. It seems like i've installed a dead peripheral and that's impeding the computer to start up..
I don't know.. I need clarification and help, PLEASE.
Thank you very much in advance!

Look at the beta thread sticked above but good luck waiting for a new driver. That beta driver has been there since January and although better than the normal driver it is still crap.
All the boot type issues are with the SSD but if you getting in game crashes etc... under windows 8 that is simply that the driver stinks.

I wanted to start a Digital Printing business please help with Photoshop

Hi I wanted to start a digital printing business please help me with photoshop.
I've never used the program before and dont know how to design either. I got the trial edition of the photoshop extended and do I need to take some form of lessons or how do I start learning photo shop to do things like Banners, posters, signage, digital printing in other words...

Before you invest any money in a startup business you MUST make sure you are able to compete with the competition. What you are saying is a bit like - I want to start a bakery but I cant cook and don't know how to use an oven - this might sound negative but try imagine the taste of the cakes....
If you really want to enter into the market your best bet would be to hire a designer/someone who knows about printing/profiling etc as printing can be complex, especially when you bump into technical problems.....You can always learn along side him/her. I don't want to put you off so GO FOR IT!!, but it is tough out there at the moment.
