Mac mini, Safari and HP printing problems

Just got a Mac Mini in March. I don't know if this is a Mac problem, an HP problem, or a browser problem.
I simply cannot seem to get it to print web pages in any usable way from Safari. I even downloaded Mozilla Firefox, and it isn't really any much different. For example, I used to be able to log on to my bank and print off the current transactions page, either the whole thing or highlight and print a selected number of pages. My old HP2110xi printer worked GREAT with our PC.
Now, with Safari, it prints only the visible frame, cuts off mid way, or spits out page after page of blank paper. I tried highlighting the page, copying it and either pasting it into a Word document (doesn't work too well because it totally destroys the format) to print or saving it as PDF. It still won't give me the entire printout of the whole document, and acts like it doesn't even see it ( just spits out blank pages)
I downloaded the updated software from the HP site, and since this seems only to be a problem with printing from the internet, I know it has to be related to the way Apple based browsers work with it. One hint I have is that the whole format for the Print commands is totally different, and requires that I reset the print quality, etc., each and every time I print a document.
Any suggestions?

Is there a check box option for something like "Fit to page"? I once had a similar problem (not with an HP printer) and unchecking that box did the trick. Don't know why.

  • Problem with mac mini crashing and a folder icon with ?

    I have a mac mini i5 and its been playing up. Randomly it will get the multicoloured spinning wheel and crash, the screen will flick on and off and then I get a white screen with a folder and a ? inside it. Anyone got any answers or solutions?

    Maybe:
    A flashing question mark or globe appears when you start your Mac - Apple Support
    Also note the time of the crash and upon rebooting open the Console app in the Finder>Applications>Utilities folder and look for suspicious log entries at that time and post them here

  • Mac Mini Stolen and need to wipe data

    Hi.
    Our office had a Mac Mini stolen and we need to wipe the data from it. Problem is, all our Macs have been upgraded to Yosemite apart form teh one stolen and can't see it on the list within iCloud.
    Is there another way we can wipe the data from iCloud on that Mac Mini?

    If you can't erase by:
    iCloud: Erase your device
    Then you would first have to physically find the Mac in order to erase. it.

  • MAC MINI BLOCKED AND PASS OUT THE OPENING SESSION SCREEN

    Hi, i hope someone can help me.
    (i'm a french user, so i'll try to write a good english)
    I've a mac MINI (2006) Intel Core Solo
    Mac OSX 10.4.11 Tiger
    I've no problem since some days.
    I'm not the usual user.
    Is the problem description :
    • I start my Mac mini by pressing the button.
    • "dong"
    • I see the apple on the screen with spiral progression, all right.
    • after around 15 sec. normally, at this moment, the opening session screen must appear… (there are 2 users, one administrator [with password] and one guest without password) but it don't.
    • After a brief flash between two different screens (blue-gray),
    the gray screen with the apple and the spiral progression re-appear but BLOCKED.
    • There are some pixels lost in disorder at the top-left of the screen (the place of the starting mouse-arrow).
    • After some minutes, or when i click away (i really don't now exactly when…)
    The session of the guest starting normally (with some slownesses)
    • I've a AirPort connexion with an iMac (Leopard 10.5.5).
    • I've noted that someday, my usual network connexion have been changed (on the mac mini only), and my Mini tryed to connect with the connection of a neighbor.
    As if this connexion have been selected by default.
    •• I've tryed to restart, close the session etc.
    •• I've lunched the disc utility to verify the HD…
    •• And finally, I've passed out the problem with changing the account parameters :
    Open the session automaticaly as a guest. Passed out but not resolved !!
    ••• THE PROBLEM STILL HERE, but for a few seconds only
    (blocking lasts only two seconds).
    So, can someone help me ?
    What type of problem can it be ?
    I hope someone has allready resolved it !
    Thanks for reading.

    Hi you, i love your post…
    So, i suggest you :
    - In the account parameters (in préf. sys.)
    - Delete the guest account created.
    - Specify start automatically as "your Admin. name"
    - Restart your computer.
    - Go one more time in the Account param. pane
    - Create a new guest account and modify some settings (such as display of the file for users in opening session screen etc.)
    - Specify automatic start with guest
    - Restart you Mac Mini.
    Of course you have note that i've solved (for the moment only ?) the problem.
    But i must say it for others, if someone has the same pb.
    When my Mac Mini was Blocked, in fact, the computer seems all right but the display not. As the opening session screen was behind this static grey-apple-screen.
    In addition, i've forgotten that there is an other screen with
    "Démarrage de Mac OS X en cours…"
    So, when i've unplugged my screen during the blocked screen,
    and re-plugged it, all returns right : i can see my opening session screen…
    So, if some one can tell me what is the problem exactly…
    I'm curious.
    So, at this moment, i've started my Mini once time only.
    I hope all stay right in future…
    Thanks so munch to me for my response.

  • Download iOS 8 once to Mac Mini Server and upgrade all iOS devices in the network

    Is it possible to download iOS8 only once to the Mac Mini Server and use it to upgrade all eligible iOS devices (iPhones and iPads) in the same LAN? 
    I tried the following methods and they are just not working:
    1. Connect an iPads Mini with Retina Display to the iTunes on Mac.  I chose Download Only. Once downloaded the iPad Software Upgrade, I upgraded the connected iPad to iOS8.  Then I connect another iPad (used to be on another Mac) to the same iTunes.  I had to download iOS 8 again.  It's not using the same downloaded iOS 8 file. (I did the same thing for an iPhone.  Same result.)
    2. I turned on the Caching Service (not Software Upgrade Service, i.e. for Mac Software) on the Mac Mini Server from the Server app.  I then repeat step 1 above and got the same result.  It seems that the Caching Service does not cache the iOS 8  Software Upgrade like what it does for other apps.  (I think I may need to use some Apple Scripts but I have no such experience.)

    Yes, it should work that way.  However, I was told by an Apple Support that there was a problem and thus Server 3.2.1 was unable to do so.
    I paid for Server 4 and it better provides the expected Caching Services for both iOS Software and Mac Software through the iOS and Mac App Stores.

  • How can I bandle Mac-mini Ipad and Iphone all with the same usser name and password

    I alway's have problem with my ID AND PASSWORD  also I want to bandle my mac-mini Ipad and Iphone with the same password and usser name how do I do tyhis?

    Hola amigo
    If you wish to use the same Apple ID for all your Apple devices then you need to set them up that way from the start. If you did not use the same Apple ID for them all then you would need to erase the iOS devices by returning them to the factory settings and starting over as if they were new.
    However, content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to download or update your content bought with one Apple ID with a different Apple ID. So you would need to decide if your are abandoning extra Apple IDs that you may have created and the content that you acquired with that Apple ID.

  • I have a 2010 mac mini referbished and i dont see the Disk Utilitiy in the Utilities on the install disk. Is that because it is refurbished?

    I have a 2010 mac mini referbished and i dont see the Disk Utilitiy in the Utilities on the install disk. Is that because it is refurbished?

    The software that comes with your refurbished Mini should be identical to that which comes with a new Mini. Disk Utility should be in Applications > Utilities. Alternatively, choosing Utilities from the Go menu at the top of the finder windownwill take you directly to the Utilities folder.

  • Can i connect my iMac to a mac mini (wirelessly) and control the mac mini display on my TV?

    Can i connect my iMac to a mac mini (wirelessly) and control the mac mini display on my TV?

    Look up "screen sharing" in help
    You can control your mini (which I am assuming you are hooking to your TV) complete from your iMac.
    After you set up screen sharing, you can go to the finder, under the "go" menu choose "Connect to server" and then browse.  Choose your mac mini's name, and look for the "Screen Sharing" button.
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Sharing.
    Select the Screen Sharing checkbox.
    To specify who can share your screen, select one of the following:
    All users:
    Select this if you want to allow any user with a user account on your computer to share your screen.
    Only these users:
    Select this if you want to restrict screen sharing to specific users.Click Add at the bottom of the Users list and select a user from Users & Groups (accounts you have set up in Users & Groups preferences), Network Users (users on your network), or your Address Book. Or click New Person and enter a name and password to create a sharing account. Then select that user from the list, and then click Select.
    Click Computer Settings and set the following options:
    Anyone may request permission to control screen:
    Select this to allow anyone on your network to request to share your screen.
    VNC viewers may control screen with password:
    Select this and enter a password that VNC viewer applications can enter in order to control your screen.It’s recommended that you not set a password if you only share this computer’s screen using the built-in screen sharing viewer in Mac OS X.

  • HT1338 I'm trying to print a document fro safari and the print command is at the bottom of the page and not visible.  I can't move it up and the print command shortcut doesn't work.  How do I print this document.

    I'm trying to print a document from safari and the print command is at the bottom of the page and I can't move it up.  The print command shortcut doesn't work and I would like to know how I can print this document.

    Why do we have to install 2 add ins for something that should be built in? Please add this to the next version or an update to this one even. We should see the full path of a bookmark when we search for it. Show Parent Folder alone isn't enough if you have sub folders, so I installed Go Parent Folder as well in case of sub folders.

    Hi rmmilleriii,
    You should take a look at [https://support.mozilla.org/kb/latest-firefox-issues#os=mac&browser=fx9 this article] that discusses some of the issues with the latest build of Firefox.
    There is some information in there that should help you to resolve your issue. Luckily, it is a very easy fix.
    Hopefully this helps!

    I set up Raid on my Mac Mini Server and lost my Server software. It is not listed in my "purchased" apps. How can I get it w/o having to purchase it? Will my serial # be enough to show it is a mini server and under warrantee be enough to get it back?

    If it's not listed in Purchases, check that it's hidden, and if so, unhide it > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928 After that, go to Purchases and download OS X Server.
    If you can't download it, contact with the Mac App Store support > http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact

    I can't remeber my Mac mini password and can only log in under Test.  Please help me as I would like to access my photos and personal information.  Thanks

    Forgot Your Account Password
    For Snow Leopard and earlier
         Mac OS X 10.6- If you forget your administrator password
    For Lion/Mountain Lion
        Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
         When the menubar appears select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
         Enter resetpassword at the prompt and press RETURN. Follow
         instructions in the dialog window that will appear.
         Or see Reset a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Password and
         OS X Lion- Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    If you cannot do the above then try this:
      1. Boot to Safe Mode by restarting and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-S keys until a black screen with white type appears.
      2. At the prompt, type the following commands pressing return after each command line:
         /sbin/fsck -yf
         If you do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message then repeat this command until
         you do.  If after seven tries you still do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message,
         then the system is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.
         mount -uw /
         cd /private/var/db/netinfo
         mv local.nidb local.old
         rm ../.AppleSetupDone
         shutdown -r now
    The second-to-last command above will cause OS X to think that the operating system is newly installed, and when the new owner starts up the computer it will send him/her to the startup wizard where he/she can start a new user without reinstalling.
    This last method does not actually change a password. It simply removes the user accounts and lets you create an initial admin account as if the computer were new out of the box.
    How to reset the OS X password without a startup CD:
    Reboot into Single-user Mode. Enter the following and press RETURN after each command line
       1. Type fsck -fy
       2. Type mount -uw /
       3. Type passwd <username>
    I have never tried this method myself.
