Macbook Pro won't print the first page of any file in any application.

Problem: My Mid-2009 Macbook Pro won’t print the first page in Microsoft Word, Sibelius 6, or in Adobe Reader. My printer is an old Canon MP480 that’s worked for almost 2 years perfectly. As well, the “print to pdf” function results in the same error. However, if I open a new user account it all works fine. To change user accounts would be an extreme hassle though so, if possible, I would like to first remedy this one.
Recent changes: the motherboard of my computer was replaced about a week and a half ago. I printed a lot of stuff from Word two days ago and that worked fine but, already then the print to pdf function was cropping off the first page. At the time, though, I accredited the issue to the word documents being filled with pictures of sheet music that I was printing instead of text.
Things I have tried:
Updated Mac software
Repaired Disc Permissions in Disk Utility
Checked for new printer drivers/firmware
Reset the PRAM (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379.)

No but it's not a printer-related issue because the "Print to PDF" function also leaves out the first page.

  • My macbook pro won't print about 10% of the time

    My macbook pro won't print to my wireless printer about 10% of the time.  I don't believe it can "find" the printer.  Any thoughts?

    Boubert,
    the question mark in the folder typically represents the inability to recognize a valid filesystem on the volume being booted from. You can try this, although it might not make a difference: boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, select the First Aid tab if it’s not already selected, then press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Is it able to boot normally now?

  • My Macbook Pro won't print with my HP Photosmart 7515. I get the following message, " Print file was not accepted" Printer does work with our PC??

    My Macbook Pro won't print with my HP Photosmart 7515. I get the following message, " Print file was not accepted" Printer does work with our PC?? Checked for software updates and are none. Talked with HP help and they say it's an Apple problem

    I noticed that you said you uninstalled the printer, but you didn't mention resetting the print system.  Resetting the print system will reset the drivers the Mac has installed and make them work like they should.  Give this a try and see if it gets the printer working like it should.  The document below will expalin more about doing this.
    Basic Printer Troubleshooting Steps for Mac
    If that doesn't help, see if you are using the AirPrint driver, or the printers driver.  By default 10.8 uses the AirPrint driver if the printer supports it, so I'm betting that's the driver you're using.  If it is, try using the driver for the printer itself.  To do this, access Print and Scan.  Click the + sign to add a new printer.  Select the printer from the list.  Click the dropdown next to Use and select the 7515's driver.  Let me know what happens.

  • How do I print the first page of numerous documents?

    Computer setup:
    Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.10 on Windows XP Professional x64 Edition.
    User experience:
    I consider myself proficient in office (Excel, Word) and software use in general (Windows XP). The extent of my Adobe Acrobat experience is creating custom dynamic stamps. I have little to no javascript programming knowledge.
    Problem:
    Numerous pdf files in multiple directory locations must have the first page of each document printed.
    Current (and time-consuming) solution:
    Copy the files to a single directory
    Use Acrobat Pro to combine files and individually select the first page for each document
    Combine and print.
    Tools
    Filename Extractor (can be used to extract the filename OR filename and path of documents)
    Bonus Points
    An index of all documents exists in Excel format. Documents are selected for printing by filtering this Excel index. The Excel index will have a column containing the path of each document. A solution that can utilise this path information to shortcut the time-consuming "copy and paste" method currently used will attract bonus points.
    Thanks in advance,
    Simon

    Create a batch process the executes the following JavaScript code:
    this.print({nStart:0, bUI: false, bSilent: true});
    It will silently print the first page of any file you batch. Be careful not to overload your printer's queue by sending too many files in one go.

  • I'm trying to print out a credit card statement from my iPad, it only prints the first page not 4pages, please help

    I'm trying to print out a credit card statement from my iPad, it only prints the first page not the 4 pages, please help

    I read your first post when I was posing a separate question on the Mac Pro board.  I now see that we may be talking about printing from an iPad with Airprint instead!!!!!  I very much suspect the print command and settings are different for Airprint but I have never used it to be able to offer concrete advice.  I think the setting choices could be different even with Airprint on the laptop and further that you may not even be using Safari but some special app???
    I've not heard or seen the term "frame" in the context of printing before except perhaps in the context of a screen shot.  Is the credit card statement a "pop-up" of some kind rather than a webpage or pdf?

  • Color LaserJet 2605dn for wireless printing, it keeps printing the first page over & over

    When I use my Color LaserJet 2605dn for wireless printing, it keeps printing the first page over & over again.  I have to cancel print job on the printer in order to stop it.   It works properly on the computer that is directly wired to it, but won't on any other computer that I try to print from.   I have had this problem for some time, but now have certain thing that I must print from this printer & can't do it wirelessly.  It doesn't seem to be my network, because I can print from all of the other computers onto other wireless printers I have in the office.
    Any advice would be appreciated!

  • My Macbook Pro is frozen on the login page with a white screen and only my login picture. How do I fix this? I can't turn it off and I closed it and let it charge but it's still not working.

    My Macbook Pro is frozen on the login page with a white screen and only my login picture. How do I fix this? I can't turn it off and I closed it and let it charge but it's still not working. It's only 3 months old and was working perfectly fine 30min before this happened.

    Hello Kierasully,
    I would start your troubleshooting with the article below for issues of not being able to log in to your Mac. Start with booting up in to Safe Boot as well as resetting PRAM on your Mac. If that does not work, then verify the hard drive with booting to the Recover HD and go to Disk Utility to verify it.

  • HP LaserJet P2055dn Printer won't print the last page of documents & envelope problem

    My HP LaserJet P2055dn Printer won't print the last page of documents until i send another document, then it will print the last page of the previous document, but omit the last page of the current document.  I need to keep printing a blank page or any other page to get my previous documents completely printed.  Also, the envelopes print with large rectangular boxes on them and no address (I don't know if this is a result of the previous stated problem or not - it started happening at the same time) I use the envelope feature in Microsoft Word 2010.  I never used to have either of these problems - didn't make any changes to the system or add any software to the computer, so I know it's not that.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    This seems to be a commercial product. For the best chance at finding a solution I would suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support!

  • When I print a web page it only prints the first page and not the rest of the web page below the page break.

    When I print a web page firefox will only print the first page, all of the content to the first page break and nothing past that.
    How can I change the settings so that it will print more than on page?

    -> Tap ALT key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
    -> go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
    Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
    -> Update ALL your Firefox Plug-ins https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
    -> go to View Menu -> Zoom -> click "Reset" -> Page Style -> select "Basic Page Style"
    -> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> unselect All Unwanted toolbars
    -> go Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> '''Time range to clear: select EVERYTHING''' -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on '''Cookies, Cache, Site Preferences''' -> click "Clear Now"
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Content -> place Checkmarks on:
    1) Block Pop-up windows 2) Load images automatically 3) Enable JavaScript
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
    1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries 4) Remember Passwords for sites
    -> Click OK on Options window
    -> click the Favicon (small drop down menu icon) on Firefox SearchBar (its position is on the Right side of the Address Bar) -> click "Manage Search Engines" -> select all Unwanted Search Engines and click Remove -> click OK
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious Extensions (Add-ons) -> Restart Firefox
    You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.

  • Firefox only prints the first page of several multi-page URL's.

    When I try to print a multi page URL, it only prints the first page and identifies it as Page 1 of 1, instead of Page 1 of x.
    But, IE-8 prints ALL x pages of the same URL perfectly.
    I've noticed this exact same FF problem with certain other URL's.
    This problem is on the current version 14, and dates back to version 9 or before! Any suggestions?

    They gotta fix this. It's been a huge problem for me for more than a year. I''ll defect to Chrome soon if they dont address this bug soon. Printing has been atrocious, even pathetic, i hate to say it. I can only print one page, maybe two if i am lucky. Sometimes, if it prints more than one page, the first page is mostly blank and the formatting of the text and sidebars is completely overlapped and sometimes unreadable. Basically, printing in Firefox is useless - it's a joke. I have to take the URL from Firefox and paste it into Chrome to get a decent print job. Why isnt this bug a higher priority?

  • Why does my Laserjet 2055dn only print the first page of a print job?

    In our domain, we have a number of 2055dn printers that act up on intermittent bases.  At times, they function properly, but other times they will only print the first page of a print job.  Our domain has only HP printers so there should be no conflict with drivers.  My solution has been to delete the printer on the local machine and then to reinstall them after reboot.  That has helped at times.  In other cases, I have installed the printer only on the local machine and not the copy on my printer server.
    I have updated the print drivers, on the server and on the local machines.  I have changed drivers to PS, to PCL 5 and to PCL 6.
    This only seems to occur in one of my three buildings that house this model of printer.  I have even done firmware upgrades on the printers.
    I appreciate any help that I can get on this continuing problem.  Thanks much.

    Then use the latest solution!
    Which doesn't need specifying either.

  • My printer will only print the first page of a doc from "Pages" in good quality.

    I've tried reloading drivers etc. Nothing works. My printer prints everything just fine EXCEPT for when I try to print a doc from the PAGES app. Then it only prints the first page (technically the last one prints first) and then all subsequnt pages are very poor quality.
    Lexmark tech support says the problem is not with their drivers.
    Any thoughts as to what the problem might be ??
    THANKS for any help !

    Firefox cuts off the URL in your printout, if it's really long, and you also have on the same line (header or footer), the Date and Pages
    What I have summarized below is based on this page . . . http://www.watchingthenet.com/how-to-change-or-customize-firefox-printing-defaults.html
    I have two questions:
    To fix, do a custom setting, for the Header and Footer as follows:
    Print / Page Setup / Margins & Header/Footer / "Customize" the "Left" as follows (leave Center and Right all blank)
    &T
    &U . . . . . . . &D . . . . . . . &PT
    &D shows the Short date as: M/d/yyyy - and then the time
    To change the format of the Short date in Win 8.1, go to:
    Control Panel / Date and Time / Date and Time tab / Change date and time / Change calendar settings /
    Date / Short date . . . change from M/d/yyyy . . . to . . . MM/dd/yy
    QUESTIONS:
    1.) How do you get rid of the time, which appears after the date? In IE, you use a lowercase "d" - but that doesn't work here.
    2.) Is there a way to change the font just for the Header and Footer, to something like Microsoft Sans Serif 10?
    Firefox leaves no room around the text in the Header and Footer at the edge. To fix:
    Address Bar / about:config
    Enter keyword "edge"
    Then change all four values for the printer you're using to:
    print.printer_Foxit_PhantomPDF_Printer.print_edge_bottom . . . 5
    print.printer_Foxit_PhantomPDF_Printer.print_edge_left . . . 10
    print.printer_Foxit_PhantomPDF_Printer.print_edge_right . . . 10
    print.printer_Foxit_PhantomPDF_Printer.print_edge_top . . . 5

  • 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.
