Margins in 'Pages' aren't printing correctly...

Anyone else had difficulty with this? I'm trying to print a standard document from Pages, and it needs to have left-and-right 1" margins. Margin setup was easy and looks fine in the app, but it always prints with wider margins...more like 1.5".
I've tried a number of different printing and conversion possibilities, but it never works right. (Please don't make me go back to Word, darn it.)

You'll probably find that your printer has an extra .5" margin on the side of the paper it can't print on, and your iPad is not set up to know that. So it's allowing 1" margins inside the printable area, which is itself .5" inside the size of the paper.
See if there's a way to configure the setup for a particular printer or type of printer on you iPad.

Web pages suddenly aren't printing correctly - thefont is very small and it only prints part of the info centered on the page -what can I do about this?

The printing on the page uses only about 1/6 to 1/8 of the width of the paper and is centered and only prints about 27 characters and in a very small font. Also some web pages won't print out any info at all except for header info at the top.

OMG, thank you! It worked. Here's what I did (I have a Mac):
File-> Page Setup...->
# Settings: <page attributes>
# Format for: I made sure my printer was selected.
# Paper size: I put <US Letter> or <borderless 8.5" x 11"> both work. This is where the settings had been off!
# Scale: I put <100%> - it had been at 500% which didn't help either.

IWork Pages template not printing correctly

I have used a template for my resume. In the template that says "First, Last", I typed my name. Like I am supposed to.
In the document it is correct. In the print preview it is correct. Yet when I print, instead of MY NAME it prints the words "first, last".
It's silly and I need these employers to actually know my name.
Please help.
Thanks.

I've just tested Vienna here and it works fine, name prints as expected.
Have you tried printing to pdf? What happens when you do?

btw you never said what version of Pages you are using and what printer.

HP DeskJet 3510 Printer Alignment Page Doesn't print correctly.

Hi I have a strange problem with my HP DeskJet 3510. I took it out of the box installed everything loaded up paper and powered it on. It went through all the motions and blah blah and printed out an alignment page. Anyhow it didn't look right to me but I went ahead and scanned it anyway and it then said "ink cartidges are set to default color quality" or something to the effect. I hit ok and it went to the main menu.
Now from my wifes phone I can connect to the printer and print just fine but from our laptop the alignment is all jacked up. If I type a bunch of random lines into notepad or anything really it misses a bunch of lines and some lines just don't even appear. Which I could only think would be because the alignment page isn't right.
Also from app that gets installed from the software CD on the laptop I can choose to align the cartridges but when I do and it prints and I scan the page (that still looks jacked up to me) the software tells me the alignment failed and asks me to rescan after I put the page in there right. I know the page is in there right its face down and in the bottom right hand corner as it should be.
Now I have ran the cartdridge cleaning process several times took the cartridges out and looked for debris or anything that could be in the way even though I doubt its any of those things becuase like I had said earlier it prings perfectly from my wifes printershare app from her smart phone. Just as it appears on her screen. Only getting this issue from the PC.
Anyhow I am going to attach a photo of how the priner aligment page comes out from me doing it on the printers control panel and from the PC's software both it comes out looking like this. If you could please give me some advice to what to do next that would be great as I am out of ideas. Did I just get a bad cartridge? If so why would it print from my wifes phone fine and not from the PC? Is this how the alignment page should look (can't read any of the things on the lower portion really).
Other Info : PC is running Windows . Other PC has same problem running Windows XP. Wifes Phone is using PrinterShare app. Any information or helpful advice is appreciated thank you guys in advance.

Finally, after installing and uninstalling the print cartridges on my HP-3510 around 10 times; I finally got the alignment page to print and then scan successfully. It's a nice, very economical printer when it works properly. I was on the verge of tossing it but glad I didn't. I guess the lesson is that persistence can pay off. My thanks to the other two contributing posters.

Last page doesn't print correctly on 2 page 2 copy Windows 8.1 Wireless printing to HP4630

On Windows 8.1, when printing 2 copies of a 2 page document (any application) the last page of the last copy fails to print completely (sometimes half a page) or fails to print at all. It doesn't matter whether I am printing one sided ot two sided.
A blue alert box is displayed on the desktop with the message "Error printing on HP Officejet 4630 series... The printer couldn't print <file name>"
When I monitor the printing ("See what's printing"), the job disappears in the monitor just before the error message shows up. There is no indication in the monitor of any printing problem.
I've looked everywhere and can find no event logs that show this error.
Windows is totally up to date. The latest HP drivers are installed.
All attempts to use the various troubleshooting buttons in windows and the driver discover no problems.
When I print the same exact report in the same way from Windows 7 it doesn't fail.
I've tried it on 2 different 4630s on the same Windows 8.1computer with the same results.
Even though this appears to be a unique problem when printing from Windows 8.1, I need to get help finding out the exact nature of the problem and the error message.

Hi there @FrankCF , and welcome to the HP Forums!
I see you're running into print issues. I would like to help.
Does this issue occur when making a copy from the machine?
I would suggest performing a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I would then recommend downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Two Page Letter Not Printing Correctly

Hello,
I have a two page letter. The first page prints fine but the second page prints with both the first and second page combined. Does anybody know what could be causing this?
Thanks

If you are using subforms, and you have -aap set to "on" you could see something like this. Put -aapoff on the merge command line. What happens is that with -aapon (print all pages)it will try to put all subforms on every page. Likewise, if you have the first page identified as jfmain, then you will get it on every page.
cheers

Font aren't printing correctly

My fonts quit printing in Freehand MX so I upgraded to
MX11.0.2
Still wont print. All font print our fine in other
programs

Using FreeHand 11.0.2 and Mac OS 10.5.6, some fonts weren't
printing for me to my HP LaserJet 4100n. Printing to PDF via
Distiller 9 or the system usually worked OK. After trying many
different experiments (i.e. tearing my hair out), I came upon
something that worked. I put the fonts I wanted into the
/Library/Fonts folder. The permissions of those fonts were set to:
me = read and write
staff = read only
everyone = read only
I opened the info window for those fonts, unlocked the
padlock, and changed the permissions to:
me = read and write
admin = read only (this had to me manually added using the
"+" sign
everyone = read only
I deleted the permissions for "staff", though I'm not certain
this was required. Locked the padlock, closed the info window, and
so far they are printing happily. It's important that all of the
permissions for the system be set correctly, so using Disk Utility
to verify and repair them is also a good idea. That won't fix the
permissions for an individual font file, so you have to do it
manually.

Hi Dee12124,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
I am going to get you to do a soft reset that, I will hope fix some of your issues.
To do this:
1. Press and hold the Home button (big circle below the screen) and the Sleep/Wake button (on top of the iPhone) simultaneously.
2. Continue holding both buttons until the iPhone shuts off and begins to restart. This will take anywhere from 10-20 seconds.
3. When you see the Apple Logo, you can let go of the buttons.
If this still doesn't fix your device, what we could do is try resetting the whole device, wiping it. If this is the case, get back to me and I will pose the steps below. I would recommend that you do this AFTER the device is backedup however.
Before you restore your device
Make sure you’re using the latest version of iTunes.
Use iTunes to back up your device. Transfer and sync any additional content to your computer.
Turn off Find My iPhone in Settings > iCloud on your device to disable Activation Lock.
Restore your iOS device
Connect your iOS device to your computer using the cable that came with it.
Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes. In the Summary panel, click Restore.
Click Restore again to confirm that you want to restore your device to factory settings and delete all data and content. iTunes will download the iOS software file and restore your iOS device.
After your iOS device is restored to factory settings, it will restart. Once it does, you’ll see the "Slide to set up” welcome screen. Follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. You can set up your device as new or using a previous backup. If your iOS device has cellular service, it will activate after you restore.

Colors not printing correctly. Only blue and black work.

I just got a new HP OfficeJet all in one inkjet 8620 printer. The colors aren't printing correctly. Everything comes out light blue with black lettering. I tried installing new cartridges (genuine HP) and also tried gently shaking the cartridges. But the problem persists.

Hi @Iolanthe ,
I see that you are experiencing issues with the colors not printing correctly. I would like to help you resolve this issue.
I have provided a document with some steps to try to see if that will resolve the issue.
Fixing Print Quality Problems for the HP Officejet Pro 8610, 8620, 8630, 8640, and 8660 e-All-in-One...
Please let me know the results of the Print Quality Diagnostic Page?
If the test pages are printing properly, it could be a software issue.
What operating system are you using? Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. Make sure it shows just the printer's name.
Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen it should show the printer's name. (Officejet 8620)
If the full printer name isn't listed correctly, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver, might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in.
Let me know how the printer name was listed.
From the application, make sure you are selecting the proper paper type.
Try another application to see if you have the same issue.
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a great day!
Thank You.

11x17 tabloid does not print correctly

I am using an HP Photosmart printer model 8550, my previous printer was an HP Photosmart 8750. That printer died and the 8550 is the newer model of the same printer. When trying to print an 11X17 document in tabloid, the page does not print correctly nor does it show in preview mode correctly. The page shifts to the upper left corner so that the left side and top of the document do not print. If you scale down the size you can get it to print the whole documentm but you cannot get it to use the whole 11x17 page. Anyone else with this problem and a solution? Thanks!

I am having a similar problem. I have windows XL,
and a hp Deskjet 9800. I have been using PM 6.5 ever since it came out. I publish a newsletter using tabloid fold in half, under booklet. So it is a really a 4 page document. It has always done fine until this week. It prints the copy in reduced format that would fit on a 8 1\2 x 11. I have tried every setting possible, with no success. Today I downloaded the trial 7.0 version, it does the same thing. I went back and printed old versions that a 3 & 4 years old they won't print right now, either.
It's old software and new operating system/printer drivers. You are unlikely to get any help from Adobe or HP but you can try.
Create a PDF and print that as it's unlikely the DeskJet has PS mode.
BTW, booklet printing is far easier with ISO paper sizes.
Move on up to InDesign while you can still get a big discount with PM Licence number.

Can't get margins to print correct

I have created a newsletter, and it appears to fill 8 1/2 x 11 page on screen with normal margins but when I print it is shrinking text and printing with 2 inch margins on top, bottom & left. My printer margins are configured correctly - what next?

Hey,
Turning off "Comments" will fix the problem you are experiencing. Simply go to "view" ... "Hide comments" and your document will print correctly.

Different page sizes in one pdf file will not scale to print correctly

Hello all,
     I have a pdf document that contains three different page sizes; 8.5"x11", 11"x17" and 34"x22". These pdf files are custom manuals and we print many of these over the course of a month.
     In the older versions of Adobe Acrobat when printing this type of file, I could click print, select the page setup size to 11"x17", then select shrink oversize pages (or fit, depending), and choose paper by pdf page size and I would get the following pages from the printer - 8.5"x11" page would print on a 8.5"x11" paper, 11"x17" on 11"x17" and (most importantly) 34"x22" on 11"x17". We do this because our printer does not have paper larger than 11"x17" yet the customer also receives a soft copy of the file and many times prints the large pages full size as needed on their large format plotters.
     With the newer versions of Acrobat, this will not work. The only way these files will print automatically is to scale the 22"x34" down to 8.5"x11".   Why would I want to scale it smaller than my largest available paper size? Also, all of the 11"x17" pages in a multi page size document will come out of the printer rotated 180° yet Adobe shows them correctly when the file is opened.
     Also, when I use the settings above, the print preview box shows the document correctly! The HP technicians have the latest drivers installed and they have shown me where it seems that Adobe is not even sending the larger sheets but instead stops the printing process with an error. So I try to send a 20 page document but Adobe stops at the first 22x34 page.
     We have now lost our old computers with every last old version of Acrobat that I could use to make this work due to mandatory hardware and OS upgrades. I must find a way to print these documents without individually selecting different pages to print and then trying to assemble the document afterward.
     How do I preserve the pages sizes in my document and print the large pages scaled down to the largest paper size I have available in my printer?
Thanks ahead of time.

Ajlan,
     Thank you for your time. I am still having the issue. I am using Adobe reader 11.0.09 and Adobe Acrobat 10.1.12. Neither one have the option in the print menu that you show for a physical printer. They only offer that option for an Adobe PDF creation driver.
     It seems as though the printer you have selected in your menu is only for creating a pdf. I need to physically print the pdf. Do you have this same option when you select a physical printer?
(edited to update screen shot)

When I print a pdf file, the first page is dramatically reduced in size while remainder pages print correct size. How do I fix this pro blem?

recently, when printing pdf files, the first page prints out as 1/10 or 1/20th original size while rest of document prints correctly.
I have no idea how this happened or why and I have no idea how to fix. I cannot get the first page of any pdf doocument to
print correctly and thus, I am virtually unable to print pdf files.

Sometimes if a .pdf is smaller than actual 8 1/2 x 11 or bigger, you'll either get way too much of the image and it's cut off, or the image is too small. You should also try to do this in the print driver window: Properties -> Advanced -> Image Options -> Disable "PostScript pass-through"

When scaling in page setup, 1st page prints correctly, but subsequent pages do not scale correctly/too large for the paper, parts of the text missing

When trying to print in Firefox, and when scaling the page size in page setup, the first page prints correctly, but subsequent pages do not scale correctly and are too large for the paper, with parts of the text are being cut off at the top and right. This is not fixed by checking or un-checking the "ignore scaling/shrink to fit page width" in the print window, or by changing the scaling%.
I am running Firefox 15.0.1, on Mac OS 10.5.8.
The same problem happens in the print preview and if I save the print as a .pdf
I have tried all the fixes in the how to's and others in various forums with no improvement.
This happens every time I try to print a document scaled up or down only in Firefox.

The 2nd page print scaling error has been an issue with Firefox on the Mac since 2011. People at Mozilla have not considered this a major problem. Try printing anything at less than 100% and you'll quickly see how every page after the first page being scaled wrong gets old real fast. The lack of a solution to this issue forced me long ago into using Safari as my primary browser. Good luck waiting until version 21 for a solution. Current release is 18.0.2.

Trifold leaflet in Pages not printing correctly

Hi,
I'm pretty useless but I've manged to make a tri fold brochure using a Pages template. It looks fine in the print preview thumbnail but when prints out is cropping about 2 cms of the right hand side of the document.
Any help would be gratefully recieved .
Thank you ,
Lisa

I suspect that two-sided printing requires the printer to "hold on" to the paper so it can pull it back into the printer and print the other side, and that doesn't allow it to print borderless on the edge it is holding on to.
Probably the best solution with your printer is to forgo the automatic two-sided printing, and print the first side borderless, then return the pages to the infeed tray and print the second side. You'll have to figure out how to orient the one-sided print outs in the in tray so the second side prints correctly (blank side up or blank side down, page bottom right or page bottom left).
