Margin settings not holding on printed page and are jagged

A few days ago, on occasion only, printer began issuing paper jam message when printed page was all but a probably 1/8" already out.  Just touching paper really brought the page out the rest of the way. 
I did pull out the two-sided paper accessory to look for any paper, but there is no paper jam that I can see.
Also, in the midst of printing sometimes it made a loud grinding (I guess) sound, but kept on printing and sent the page out completely.
Then I began to notice the left margin might slope inward as I look down the page or it may be different from one Word page to another and a little blurring occurs in a word here and there. 
Finally, upon printing Excel pages I see a different left margin about what I consider to be every 2 lines.  This, of course, affects the right margin in the same manor, and the vertical cell lines also vary according to the variance of the left margin.
The HP software tells me there are no updates for me to download.  However, I don't know that it has ever mentioned any.  I haven't seen this precise issue listed.
This question was solved.

Yay!  Smooth margins!  At first I mistakenly thought (without looking) the cord would not reach an outlet; so I downloaded the HP Scan and Print Doctor.  It told me there was a newer driver.  I admit I eventually found myself at a point where it wanted me to "install" as if the printer was being newly associated with my computer.  I paused and thought because I hadn't expected a new driver to want me to do a complete re-install.   I decided I should just try printing again, and magically it gave me perfect alignment.  So I stopped right there.  I had used the  recommended assisted download.  Perhaps I should have switched to the plain download.  While I'm not sure exactly what happened, it appears to be nicely fixed.
I thank you very much!  I'd not have figured that out on my own.

  • Printing From PSE12 - settings not holding/prints are inconsistent.

    Printing from PSE12, MacOS with PSE12 controlling color/appling profile.
    Color management does not appear to turn off or disengage within any given print driver.
    When selecting Color Matching, both ColorSync & given printer are active, both should be ghosted out.
    After printing one image/sheet & printing again & selecting Color Matching within the print window both are ghosted out.
    Saving a pre-set does not solve the issue.
    Currently prints are not matching when having PSE12 controlling color.
    what is causing this issue ?  Is it PSE12 ?  Is it the OS ?  WHAT !
    Please help.  THANKS

    This inability to disable color management is within the OS, right ?  Or is it PhotoShop Elements ?
    Yes I do have means of controlling color management from a driver stand point but the attempt here is to turn color management off from the OS & driver to allow the app to control color management.
    Problem is that when printing and setting/selecting settings to allow this, it appears management is getting miss managed.
    And if I set a pre-set within PSE, settings do not hold.
    I do not want ColorSync to control color management.
    I do not want print driver to control color management.
    And settings to not hold from print to print and a pre-set does not appear to hold as well.
    What is the fix for this ? Do not use PSE ?  Do not use MacOS, This does not happen on a WIN based system ?!?

  • Adobe Flash 11.9.900.152: objects not showing in print preview and not printing

  • I am reading in ibooks and i do not see how many pages there are or what page i am on. how do i fix this

    i am reading in ibooks and i do not see how many pages there are or what page i am on. how do i fix this

    Some books may not display a page number on each page, or the position indicator, because the author did not include them. 
    Most basic books resembling paperbacks that are mostly words (like Kindle books) will display these because they are so basic
    that iBooks knows they need to have that information superimposed, so it just does it.
    For more advanced books, the people who made the book may elect to not display page numbers for some or all of the pages. 
    What book are you reading, and have you looked at another book and had the same problem?

  • Printing/Preview does not honour to printer page margins and garbles text

    I have this weird problem with printing. When I print, e.g., a pdf using preview, the page comes out of the printer incorrectly, that is the top 2.2cm gets chopped off and some of the characters have become unreadable (especially the I, the :, and the J). When I print the same pdf from adobe reader, the page comes out fine...
    The problem of chopping-off the top bit of a page also happens when I print directly from an application (e.g., thunderbird, firefox). Saving the print as PDF and printing that one with adobe reader again works fine.
    The problems occurs only when I print on my Lexmark Optra E312L (using the generic Postscript printer). On our HP Photo Printer (B9180), everything works as expected.
    I have already restarted the printing system, but while this did solve another printing problem, I still have this problem.
    So my question is: anyone else experiencing similar problems (ie., top of print chopped-off and garbled text) and, better yet, is there a solution?
    Thanks,
    Hayo

    Steve, thank you for trying to answer my question/solve my problem!
    You suggestions, however do not fully help in my case though
    I was already using the full printing dialogue, but nowhere did I find anything that might solve this problem. The print scaling, I did not want to use as I want the page to come out as-is (the pdf was an A4 and I print to A4). Note: border less printing or other ways of selecting a larger printable area doesn't work either; when I select the Lexmark, I have a very limited number of page size options and while it shows them, I can't use a custom page size (otherwise that could have solved the problem I guess).
    I did expect some things to get chopped-off but then evenly from all sides (ie, where it can't print). This is not what happens when printing from preview though. Today I tried again and while the results are the same, I now understand better what Preview does: it chops off only the top bit (what it does left and right, I don't know yet). In my opinion this is an error on the part of Preview because that way you never get the page exactly as it was intended. Adobe Reader does this much better, so that is what I will be using from now on.
    The other problem, the garbled text (mostly i's, j's, and :'s) is still there as well. So I guess there must be a problem in the printing engine of Preview in combination with the generic postscript driver...
    Heck, it gets even more interesting: I also tested printing from Firefox directly. This results in an error flashing on the printer, the printout got out of the printer ok-ish though. When saving the output as PDF and printing that with Adobe Reader again, the printer does not generate an error AND (more importantly), the output is much better quality wise (the rendering of the fonts and greys is much better).
    Right, I guess the lesson I learned here is not to use Preview/print directly when I want to print to the Lexmark and to take the route PDF->Adobe Reader->Lexmark instead.
    Is there a way I can let Apple know about bugs? (the garbled text certainly is a bug, the other things may or may not).
    Thanks again,
    Hayo

  • Print settings not holding...

    I have a setup where I'm using Reader to open PDF docs that are very large (24" by 36" docs). In previous versions of Acrobat, if I set the print setting to print 'Current View' and 'Fit to Page' these settings would hold between PDF files. So when users Zoomed to a specific portion of the PDF and printed it, they only got the part they were zoomed into - which is what we wanted. The users didn't have to do anything but hit print and click Ok - no settings changed required. Now we've gone to Acrobat X Reader and this 'Current View' setting will not stay put. Is there any way to make this stay? Config file, reg edit, or something?
    I am considering the idea of setting up a web page with links to these docs so the users can browse for the file they need and have it open within the Acrobat Reader Plug-In in IE. So I would like to get these settings applied that way as well.
    The only other option I can think of is using the Acrobat SDK and really customizing the web pages that way, but I'm not sure if that will give me the level of control needed to do this through the code side either.
    Any solutions or other suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Keep in mind print settings are stored in the PSD document, so you may be thinking it's not remembering your print settings, when in fact it's rememebering them a different way...  In other words, if you print document 1 to printer A then save as a PSD, then print document 2 to printer B then save as PSD, then re-open document 1, the default printer for document 1 will still be A.
    Another known problem with some printer drivers is that you have to set the parameters twice in order to get them to stick.  This could affect, for example, then number of copies to print.  A workaround is to make your changes, then go through the [Print Settings...] button twice (first time to make changes, second time to check the changes).
    Hope this helps!

  • Print Driver Settings Not Saving at Print Dialog [IDCS3, Vista]

    Hi. On our only design machine that runs Vista, when the user tries to print something from InDesign CS3 and has to turn on duplexing in the printer driver setup, on clicking OK, those settings immediately go away, and thus the document will not print duplexed. It works fine on our XP machines.
    A workaround is to set such printer driver settings via Vista's Control Panel, and this does work, however it's a bit cumbersome, since we print all kinds of documents.
    Pertaining Specs:
    - Adobe InDesign CS3 (5.0.3) for Windows
    - Vista Home SP1 (I think)
    - Konica-Minolta Bizhub C500
    - EFI Fiery 2.01 Driver for Vista / PostScript / Image Controller 405
    It's similar to this issue, but the specs differ:
    Michael C Stone, "Indesign documents reset printer settings IDCS2 XPSP2" #, 14 Jun 2008 5:19 pm

    It does say, "Double-sided: Yes," in Windows' printer properties for the Bizhub PS (and PCL) Fiery driver(s) -- in fact, this may have been from me turning it on for the PS driver in Windows Registry, as it was off for some reason, but seemed to make no real difference anyway -- but I think the duplexing option would have been grayed-out in the Fiery driver's dialog if not available as some various other options are -- the driver has the capability to poll the device for such options availability -- and I don't actually see anything duplexing-related on the Installable Options tab, but the Installed list is identical to one of our XP computers with no apparent issues with printing to the drivers from InDesign -- although at one point, if a Vista user printed an InDesign document and saved it (and thus the printer settings), XP users for some reason couldn't print the document without forcing a change in the print driver settings, but I believe this was due to using the same drivers but different TCP/IP port configurations per machine (Vista doesn't need the IP_ prefix as XP seems to).

  • Page Portlet Settings Not Propagating to User Pages

    Portal 9.0.2.6; Windows
    We upgraded to this version a few weeks ago, and we're still ironing out the kinks. We have quite a few pages that are exposed as portlets. I've edited (not customized) the page portlet settings, selecting specific regions of the page to display.
    When I spot check user's home pages, however, only the portlet headings show with no content. I've tried using the Reset to Defaults button in the customize form, but it doesn't work. Also, I imagine I'll have the same problems with any page-source portlets our users have added to their pages.
    Is there a sure-fire way to do the following:
    - Set the regions of a page to display when viewed in a portlet on a global level; and,
    - Propagate these regions throughout our entire user base
    Thank you for all the help!
    Mary

    I was able to figure out setting the global display on the default pages, but I'm still stymied at how to set the display for the page portlets for user customizations. In instances where users have added a page portlet, only the portlet header is displayed. I've done the following to try to fix the situation:
    - Deleted and regenerated the page portlets
    - Refreshed the repository
    - Refreshed the display for individual user pages
    Nothing seems to work. This is a major showstopper for us: we are scheduled to go "live" with the 9.0.2.6 version on Friday, and we do not want to ask users to recustomize their pages.
    Windows; 9.0.2.6
    Thanks for all the help!

  • Evny 4500 only printing page and a half of two page document, does anyone know how to resolve?

    Can anyone help? I've just bought a new printer and  printed first copy  of 2 successfully (double page), second copy only printed half number of pages (12 of 25) and even when I've tried printing per page same thing happens. Any idea how to fix this problem?

    Hi @Cherry_B ,
    I see that you are having issues printing a full page and multiple pages. I can help you, but I will need some more information.
    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/Wireless)
    What application are you printing from?
    Try another application to see if you have the same results.
    What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
    Have a great day!
    Thank You.

  • Printing Page # and Date

    New using Adobe reader xi wondering when printing how to print page number and date.

    There's no built-in option in Reader to do that, but it can be achieved (assuming you're using Reader XI) with a script.

  • Is there a way to make the Bing Translator Attribution to not float on a page and to place it in a specific location?

    I have found a way to place the widget TRANSLATE button in a specific place on a page however the the return from the translate method from the widget is placing the Attribution in the same location each time as well as making it floating meaning I can move
    it around where ever I want to by click and dragging.  
    The problem with the attribution is that it covers up content on the page and after each page link the end user needs to move it out of the way again.  This could be more of a nuisance to potential customers.  
    With that said is there a way to force the control that is returned from the widget to be forced to a certain location and have the floating disabled?
    Thanks

    Hi Will, in upcoming releases we are working towards more flexibility in terms of placement of the floating widget. We will post on our blog and the forums when we push this out.

  • Tax Condition ZSRT not showing in Print Preview and Tax Register

    Dear Friends
    while we making Purchase Order the Tax condition not showing while print preview.  also not showing in Tax Register.
    Tax Register we developed.
    any hops
    Rajesh G

    Dear,
           ZSRT is a customised condition which you have created. So to bring that condition in print preview you have to talk to your ABAPER , so that he can incorporate this condition type to his customised print preview program. If your tax register is also customised then again you have to communicate to the ABAPER.

  • Some sent mails do not appear/are not saved in "sent messages" and are lost

    i work with mail and 4 different imap accounts. about every 15th sent email "gets lost". i.e. i can follow the sending process in the activity window, and i hear the sending confirmation tone. and, usually, the mails even reach the receiver. BUT, the mails do not appear/are not saved in the "sent messages" folder and are lost. this is very unsettling, as there seems to be no recognizable pattern. can anyone help, or should i change to "entourage"? big thanks for replies

    Hi Bassolino and David,
    I, too, have had this intermittent issue and wonder if you had found a solution?
    In the past 3 weeks, two messages have been sent from my mac mail account, using the mail application (the only apparent common factor being that both messages had iphoto attachments), the recipients have received them - only I do not have a copy in my 'sent' folder.
    They are not stored on the macintosh server either...
    I have not altered any settings and this intermittent issue has just emerged.
    Any help from 'Top Users' would be welcome. Thanks.
