IPhoto shows a printer continuously printing.

Hello,
I have an iMac 3.06ghz Intel core 2 duo with 8gb memory and an nvidia g force 9400 256 mb graphics card. I have iPhoto version 9.6 installed.
iPhoto shows a printer icon on the left side of the screen with the wording printing next to it. If I click on the icon to see what it's meant to be printing in the hope I canceller it it hangs iPhoto and I have to end up using force quit to get out of it. I checked under system/printer settings and the printer has not got anything ready or waiting to be printed. If I use the printer in another program, e.g. pages, it works correctly. I have tried uninstalling the printer, restarting my mac, restarting iPhoto and tried accessing the print photo on a selected photo with iPhoto with the menu bar and with the right side sharing option that is on the bottom right hand side of an individual photo.
I am wondering if this problem has manifest because our old printer (Epson x635) broke three weeks ago. We replaced it with a canon mg7150 which works well with the other macs, iPhones and iPads in the household. Is it possible that if I had an unprinted photo in a queue on the old printer (even though all visible trace of the old printer has been deleted from my mac) that it could be confusing the iPhoto program in some way? The old printer just failed to switch on one morning, we tried the fuse and looked on forums, it just wasn't turning on again. That means I can't reinstall the old one just to clear a possible print queue then delete it again and install the new canon one again. If I uninstall the printer entirely so theres no software associated with a printer at all on my mac it still shows up in iPhoto as printer printing. I am starting to wonder if the only way out of this is to uninstall and reinstall iPhoto. Is that the next step? Hoping someone is kin d enough to come up with a solution.
Thank you for your time.

Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder:
User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

My HP laserjet 1018 printer continue printing old document

My HP laserjet 1018 printer continue printing the a document i sent sometime back every time i restart my computer. And when i try to print a new document , a window messege appears "invalid printer setting"

Hi @Beaglemom49779,
I see by your post that you replaced the toner and are now getting all black pages. I can help you with this.
Did you have the same issue with the printer before replacing the toner?
It could be a hardware or fuser issue with the printer.
If the issue just started after replacing the toner then most likely it is the toner.
Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector)
Number one cause of toner issues.
Inspect the toner cartridge for damage:
1. Remove the toner cartridge from the product and verify that the sealing tape has been removed.
2. Check the memory chip for damage.
3. Examine the surface of the imaging drum on the bottom of the toner cartridge.
CAUTION: Do not touch the roller (imaging drum) on the bottom of the cartridge.
Fingerprints on the imaging drum can cause print-quality problems.
4. If you see any scratches, fingerprints, black on the drum, or other damage on the imaging drum, replace the toner.
5. If the imaging drum does not appear to be damaged, rock the toner cartridge gently several times and reinstall it. Print a few pages to see if the problem has resolved.
Please call our technical support if the there is a issue with the toner and inquire about a replacement, at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. Contact HP.

Continuously printing pages

Please help me in the issue in hp laserjet 1022 series printers. it is automatically printing some pages after a fix interval of time which contains some kind of advertisements. i am quite fed up with it. plese tell me the way i can rid of this problem please

Hi @Rahul001 ,
I understand that you are having issues with the printer continuously printing out several identical pages. I will do my best to assist you with this issue, but I will need some more information.
Power cycle the printer, make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector) This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
In the mean time, download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
What operating system are you using? How to Find the Windows Edition and Version on Your Computer.
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet)
If the printer is the Laserjet 1022, where is the USB cable connect to? (computer, dock, USB hub)
If you have the Laserjet 1022nw, is the printer hardwired to the router by a Ethernet cable?
What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
Have a wonderful day!
Thank You.

In iphoto, when I click on Print, the preview image it shows me is an enlarged section of my photo. I cropped the photo and checked with no restraints. Once the photo goes to Print, I can't fix it back to the way it is in iphoto.

It is working now. I no longer get the message about the item not being available in the US and I can access the store.

Show date on photo print ?

I use a Casio Exilim EX-24U camera with iPhoto 6.0.6.
I would like to have the date print on the pictures in iPhoto.
How can I show the date on prints??

On the photo? That would be a setting in your camera. There is no way to do this in iPhoto.

How to override cartridge empty message and continue printing on Officejet Pro 8600

Hi,
I'm setting up a new OfficeJet Pro 8600 printer for my parents. On my HP color laser printer I am able to override the setting where the printer stops printing because it hit a date or page quantity. My parents don't print complex, color documents often, so I want to override this setting on the OfficeJet Pro 8600. I can't find any documentation on how to do this on this particular model. Is there a series of steps via the touch panel on the printer? I tried the web interface but didn't find the setting to continue, and I don't know if I also have to set the override on the printer itself. Thank you in advance, I want to make sure my senior citizen parents get the most out of their ink cartridge investment.
They are on Windows 7, if that matters..
Thank you in advance for any and all help!
Paula

Hey skymom,
On this model there is not a way to override an empty cartridge message other than replacing the empty catridge. Do tests still show that there is a usable amount of ink?
Any additional info would be great. Thanks!
Help the community by marking this post as a solution if it solved your issue!.

Iphoto photo enlarges itself in Print

I editted a photo in iphoto and was ready to print it. But when I clicked on Print, the preview picture it showed me was not the same thing. It appeared that the photo had zoomed in on itself, so that it was enlarged and much of the photo no longer visible. I went back to edit in iphoto, and the correct image was still there. But whenever I try to print it, iphoto enlarges it excessively.

iphoto '11, version 9.3.2.
No. I cropped it myself in iphoto.
I just went back to the picture, and now it's behaving normally. I don't know what I did to cause it or what I did to undo the action that enlarged it. ???????
Thank you for replying.

Iphoto is stuck on loading print project cannot get it to close or do anything

iphoto is stuck on loading print project. I cannot get it to close without shutting down the computer, then when I try to open iphoto or drag a picture into it the same cycle starts again and just spins. Any ideas on how to get iphoto to work like it used to please? thank you

Can you get it to quit using Force Quit (command - esc)?
What happens if you try opening it in another account?
Quit the application.
You need to look in your user Library/Preferences for the .plist. Hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/Library/Preferences. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist(s) from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist(s) to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/04/show-library-directory-in-mac-os-x-lion/
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.2. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

Shared printer from a pc does not show up on my printer list.

Exporting a PDF so that non-printing objects show but don't print?

I've just spent a couple hours trying to find an answer to this in the forums, but can't. (The most frustrating was one thread where the original poster said, "I found the answer here," and gave a link that went right back to the main page of the forum. Argh.)
Okay, anyway ... what I need to do?
I've got a document with graphics that I want to show up on the pdf when I export it, but that--if a reader prints it--don't print.
The document looks like a 3-ring binder with "tabs" for each section--just like the real thing. But the rings and tabs go right up to the edge and look terrible when printed, and whose printer can print right at the edge of the paper, anyway? But the tabs work as navigational links while looking a the pdf, and the rings just make it look cool, so I WANT them in the pdf.
I've tried:
Turning the entire layer into a non-printing layer (one that "shows" but does not "print"). But when I export it to a pdf, it doesn't show up on the pdf to look at OR to print. So that doesn't work.
Using the Attribute option to turn each object into a non-printing object, but so far as I can tell, that doesn't do a thing, because they still print from the pdf.
Exporting with the "create pdf layers" turned on and off. Exporting with the "include non-printing items" turned on and off.
Basically, I've pretty much tried everything. I gather, from browsing the forums, that this is POSSIBLE, but can't for the life of me figure out what to do to make it happen. (Short of hiding the tabs' layer and creating an entirely separate PDF and calling it "Print version" which is not exactly what I want to do!)
Is there maybe some magical combination of ons and offs I need to select to make this whole thing work?
(And, seriously, am I the only person who thinks the supporting documentation is just dreadful? I can't find anything in any of the Help screens that even mentions this, much less explains how to do it.)
Any help is appreciated!!

Partial progress...
The button option (and, I'm using CS3, by the way--I should have said that originally) does work in terms of showing on the pdf but not printing.
The problem is that it messes up the way the document looks.
I said it's designed to look like a 3-ring binder with tab-dividers between each section, and each tab has a hyperlink to take you to that section.
Now, when you've got a paper binder in front of you, the tabs stay in the same sequence, and often overlap a bit (which mine do). The problem I'm having, having turned all of them into buttons, is that when you click on any of them, it "jumps" to the front of the row, so that they don't "flow" in the correct sequence.
Am I explaining this well? You know, the top-most tab is at the top of the pile, the next one is always below it and above the third one, and so on ... you never see the second tab on TOP of the first one. I'm trying to get the document to act as close to a hard-copy binder as I can, and it did ... except the buttons keep jostling each other for attention...
I'm going to go play around with this some more now, but ... any suggestions? (Other than restructuring my tabs so that they don't overlap at all?)

Nothing Shows up in my Printer Queue

I have a HP Colour Laserjet CP1515n. I've connected through a USB cable not Via the network. I have installed it and all works fine besides from one thing. Whenever I send a document to print it prints straight to the printer. Therefore nothing goes in to the Print Queue. I then can't delete documents if they are by mistake etc. Does anyone have an Idea as to why this is happening?
Thanks

Yes, I have been through the documentation. I have isolated the problem to the SGD Server by working my way through the checklists. The results on the check for display say:
- Printing services available
- Jobs spooled: 0
Total jobs spooled: 0
I have checked the Printing tab section of the admin console and everything is in order there.
I am not using an array just a single host and trying to configure for the first time.
Ghostscript is found and worked in the scripts.
I tried printing the testpage using the script and I also tried direct but received nothing on the client.
Using the lpstat -t command I get the following:
scheduler is running
system default destination: tta_printer

printer tta_pdfprinter is idle. enabled since Mon Apr 19 15:04:29 2010
printer tta_printer is idle. enabled since Mon Apr 19 16:13:16 2010
I have verified that print jobs are transferred from the Application hosts to the SGD Server. I am able to locate them in /opt/tarantella/var/spool where they stay for awhile then they disappear. If I watch the CUPS console I see the job appear and it shows as completed then it appears again as a held job and then eventually aborts.
it appears that what ever is supposed to be sending the job to the client is either not receiving the job or is failing but I am not sure what and cannot find any errors that point to a problem.

Canon MP210 just will not show up in Add Printer

Trying to help a friend get new (to her) printer added in OS 10.5.8... There isn't even a network involved, just trying to add it as simple USB.
It's a Canon Pixma MP210 and wasn't in the printer descrips, so i downloaded and installed the most recent driver for it from Canon, which is noted as good for 10.5 etc (and is CUPs to boot).
its Installer runs just fine... but printer still does not show up in Add Printer, despite restarts, printer attached, not attached, whatever. printer is not in list, "Print Using..." shows no options, and "Add" is greyed out.
The printer itself was never used by its former owner, it's like new, so it's not likely broken.
i attempted to repair permissions, and ran into no-go there too. It sticks on acquiring the database, doesn't even get to a progress bar (let it run for almost an hour, no change). Same thing when i start it up/run repair permissions from retail OS 10.5 DVD.
And this on a smallish (60GB) hard drive that has barely anything on it ....she mostly just websurfs and emails. Tho the finder is a bit slow, there doesn't appear to be anything wrong with the mac (it's an iBook G4) and it passes disk first aid fine.
Suggestions?

Any idea why Permissions Repair doesn't progress, neither from hard disk nor from DVD? From other posts i've researched here, repaired permissions apparently allowed some canon printers to show themselves.
If Repair Permissions is not completing then something would be amiss with the OS. But I've never a repair permissions resolve a printer not appearing in the Default browser view. It could certainly fix an issue with the printer being seen but the driver not being found. But for the printer not to be visible in the Default view when it is connected to the Mac via USB, then I don't believe a permissions repair will resolve this - especially also if the printer is not visible in System Profiler. Personally I found a reset of the printing system rather than a repair disk permissions to be more helpful.

Printing Continuous Pages

Hellow
I'm trying to Print continuous pages report, of a Purchase Order (PO). An PO can contain more than one item, say 25 items, in which it will go to second and maybe third page.
At the Time of printing and when it comes to the next Page: The printing dose not start from where it should do, rather it starts from the middle of the page.
What Should be set & dose to resolve such a prob??
Note:
PO header Repeating frame is set to Fixed (Vertical Elasticity)
PO Detil Repeating frame is set to Expand (Vertical Elasticity) with max. no of records displayed to 10
System config is:
Oracle developer 6i Rel. 2
Windows 9x SE (Arabic Enabled).
Oracle 8i (V. 8.1.5)
Please Do Help.
Thanx,
Tariq

Try placing a variable sized frame (M_1) around:
PO header Repeating frame is set to Fixed (Vertical Elasticity) This will cause your second frame:
PO Detil Repeating frame is set to Expand (Vertical Elasticity) with max. no of records displayed to 10 to move up the page when it moves onto the second page since it moves to take up the space free'd by M_1.

2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

In installation process of Acrobat Professional 7 , its showing that Adobe Pdf printer is not Installed...need help to install the software completely

In installation process of Acrobat Professional 7 , its showing that Adobe Pdf printer is not Installed...need help to install the software completely

If it is Win 7 or later, the Adobe PDF printer for AA 7 will not install and AcroTray will not function. You will have to install a PS driver from Adobe or maybe an HP color PS printer driver. Then edit the driver properties and change the name to Adobe PDF and the port to FILE. You will always have to do an extra step in creating PDFs by opening the file that is created in Distiller to get the PDF.
If you are talking about Win 8, you may not be successful at all. If you got Acrobat and Distiller to install, then there is a chance.
