MG5420 is trying to print to paper rather than disc tray J

I just changed my hard drive on my computer, and I'm now unable to print to a DVD. Each time I try (and I've made certain that Disc Tray J is selected as paper size), the printer gives me an error message telling me the paper tray is empty. Multiple restarts have not helped, nor has reinstalling the driver. It is connected via USB.
OSX 10.9.1 Mavericks
Any help is appreciated!

Need to print 5x7 pictures rather than 4x6 - using windows 8

Hi I need to set my new HP Mobile 150 to print 5x7 pictures rather than the default 4x6. I have changed the paper size in the printer properties but I'm still getting 4x6 prints - any advice would be very appreciated!
Thanks

Hi BarbaraSki,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I understand that when trying to some 5 x 7 photos that they are printing in a 4 x 6 format using your Officejet Mobile 150 printer.
To better assist you, would you please provide some additional information:
How is the printer connected (USB cable or Bluetooth)?
What program are you using to print the photos?
Are you trying to print borderless 5 x7 photos? Borderless printing is not support for 5 x 7 photos, please see the Officejet Mobile 150 Printer Specifications.
What operating system are you using on your computer (Windows 7, Mac 10.9, or Windows 8, etc)?
Have you downloaded and installed the full feature software and drivers?
I’m sorry to ask this, but have you loaded 5 x 7 photo paper into the printer?
Thank you.
Regards,

Back up to portable hard drive rather than discs - how?

Can i back up my itunes to my portable hard drive rather than disc as 'help' suggests? How do i do it?

Like CTJon suggests, just use Windows Explorer to copy the iTunes folder and all its subfolders over to your portable drive.
You can't do it using iTunes. iTunes only has the disk backup option.
For incremental changes, you can use SyncToy from Microsoft. It's free software and really easy to use. There is no way to make it automatic, though, so you need to remind yourself to do the regular backups.

How to print Cell Formula rather than its Result?

Hi,
I work with data that includes lots of multiple fractions, and print reports showing results of various calculations based on the fractions. The fractions themselves can be important, so I need to be able to display them when used in a formula.
For example, in one cell (cell A1) I need to enter "1/3 * 13/21"; I need to display this formula when I print. Cell A2 would contain a specific number, like "141.5". Cell A3 needs to calculate A1 * A2.
In order to provide a number that A3 can use, I need to enter "=1/3 * 13/21", but when printing this displays "206349". I can format A1 as text, but then A3 won't calculate it. I tried using "Value(A1)*Value(A2)" in A3, but it looks like Value will only accept a decimal number.
So, is there any way to format some cells in a sheet (but not all cells) to display the cell contents rather than the result? Or a way to enter a fraction as text and have another cell evaluate the fraction or formula?
Thanks for any help or advice.
Tom

Yvan,
Merci for the reply.
Unfortunately, that option does not work for my purposes. Below is a row that Numbers will allow me to print.
0.07968198 | 1/6 | 23.58333 | 0.01463667 | 0.03333333 | 141.500
Next is the row as I desire to print it (but have not figured out how to print):
1/5 - (80/141.5 * 1/5) - (5.125/141.5 * 1/5) | 1/6 | 23.58333 | 0.01463667 | 0.03333333 | 141.500
Next is the row as it appears if I follow your suggestion:
=1/5 - (80/141.5 * 1/5) - (5.125/141.5 * 1/5) | =1/6 | =ROUND(D41*H41,5) | =ROUND(G41*H41/322.25,8) | =ROUND(C41*D41,8) | 141.5
So in other words, I only want the first cell in the row to print as text. My clients need to see the equation in the first cell, not its calculated result. But for each following cell, they need to see the result; if I print the functions and cell references, as in the 3rd example, my report won't make any sense at all to my clients.
Quattro Pro on Windows allowed me to do this easily. I switched to Mac and Excel 2008, and found a difficult workaround solution to accomplish this; but Excel is a dog of a program, with many bugs still. I'd much prefer to work with Numbers, but unless I can do something about the printing issue, I'll have to stick with Excel, or run Quattro under VMWare Fusion.
Thanks a lot,
Tom

Printing to paper larger than A3

I am using Mac OS X Yosemite and latest version of Aperture printing to a 13 inch wide roll fo canvas on a Canon Pixma Pro 100 printer.
I set the paper size to 27 inches by 13 inches in Aperture and the image size to 11.75 x 25.75 inches in Aperture.
I have it set to automatically rotate image but not to crop image.
I click print and then get a second print dialogue box from Mac OS X which lists different paper handling. I do not want color correction so I use plain paper setting. I am unable to select the desired paper size nor create a larger paper size in the Mac OS dialogue box.
Suggested paper size: A4 is greyed out unless I select check box to scale to fit.
If I leave box unchecked then my prints are about 8 inches wide, if I select it and choose A3+) my images are cropped at beginning and end of print.
Is there a way to add a 27 inch x 13 inch paper size to the mac os X print dialogue which seems like it would solve my problem?
Otherwise has anyone had a similar issue and learned solution.

I'm having same issues trying to print to custom sizes in Preview.
Possible work-around (not a solution, but might allow you to print and meet a deadline): I found I could set my Custom paper size as the Default in the Print & Scan Preference Pane.
Now, my print job still had issues, but it may work for your Aperture job. Of course, the PIA is that you have to remember to go back into Preferences and reset Default Paper Size...
Hope Apple is aware of - and working on - printing issues...

B9180 Printing w/ paper longer than 19"

Is there a way to print on paper up to 44 inches long? I thought I read somewhere that this printer could accept paper up to 13 x 44 using the specialty media tray. I have a panorama that is 42 x 12 just waiting to come to life.

Hi J. - yeah, this would be cool to know, however, I have trouble simply printing with 13x19. I always get, "paper too small, insert correct size" blah blah. So, I take the paper out of the media tray and put it in the specialty media tray and it sometimes works. - Then if I print 8x10 image to 8x11.5 paper, have everything set up properly, I get the error, paper too small, insert correct size. Then I have to put it either in one tray or the other and keep fingers crossed. I hope it works for you J. I would love to hear how it worked out! peace

Trying to print to paper with a "border" around it

I have set up a document (letter) to print to the C7280 printer ( XP with word 2003) - 2 pages set up for duplex; 8 1/2"x11". I print to a plain piece of paper and the top margin is approximately 1 inch down, same on the bottom.
I now want to print to some "stationery". The front side of this paper has a 1 inch border all around. When I print to the "stationery"paper, the top margin drops down so it is now 2 inches from the top of the page. Consequently the bottom of the page now prints into the border.
Does the printer have something built in that makes it think that the bottom of the border is now the real top of the page.
I never exit word during this whole process; all I do is replace the paper.
Same thing happens with word 2007 and Vista.

I do not know of any settings that can be changed. One thing I have done in similar situations is to cut a small strip from a Yellow Sticky pad and place this on what would be the top right edge of the printed page. Remove after printing. This might work for small quantities, it will not be a good solution if you are printing in quantity.

Remittance Advice output should print to file rather than to a printer

Hi all,
We have a requirement in payment process Request,
when we process a payment batch, generally the Remittance Advice will be sent as per the payment system setup i.e, to the Banks server. But, our client has a dedicated team to review these generated Remittance Advises, once they review them, they will upload them to the Bank's Server.
But now we have to make the system to place the generated Remittance Advises to a common place from there the team will take and review them.
The following are some of the considerations of mine
1. use a xdodelivery.cfg file for FTP / SFTP or local file transfer
2. Create a local Transmission Protocol in Transmission Configuration in Payments setup and associate it with Payment Process Profile.
Is there any other solution please provide me.
Also if anyone had written xdodelivery.cfg file please provide me the code. I read the BI Publisher guide but i couldn't get how to proceed in writing the file.
Thanks in Advance
--Giri

Hi,
Remittance advice is specific xml publisher report because you already have data source. You can only make layout and delivery mail,fax,print 1072399.1. I think you should make own Remittance advice with bursting http://vanzweden.org/index.php/blogarticles/categories/xml-publisher/10-creating-text-files-with-bursting.

Firefox tries to download entire mp3 rather than stream it, as it did in previous versions, how do I get my stream-ability back?

Firefox refuses to stream mp3 files within the browser now that I've upgraded to 6.0.1. I was running 3.5 something which I loved and accidentally upgraded- after much adjusting and tweaking I'm kind of ok with 6.0.1... except for this mp3 issue.
It insists on downloading the entire mp3 before it will play any of it- which is a real killer on my slow connection when I listen to several hour long mixes pretty much 100% of the time.
Is there a way that I can get my stream-ability back?
Note: in the applications tab under FF prefs I've tried all the options;
-Use quicktime plug-in 7.6.6 (in firefox) (it doesn't work like it should)
-Always ask (which tells me I lack required software)
-Save file (just as slow as what it's doing, except it takes it to my DL manager)
-Use itunes (I want them to stream in browser)
Any help?

You can check the browser.newtab.url pref on the <b>about:config</b> page.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
See this article about the New Tab page (about:newtab):

Try to reset some preferences to the default with the SearchReset extension:

Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).

How to print full page rather than partial

Since my daughter used my computer to make and print labels, I can no longer print a full size page. When clicking on print the screen content contents shift left and The printer prints as shown on the shifted image. What do I do?

Hi charleshurst,
Please check your default printer settings as well as advanced Firefox settings. These are located under File Print under the Presets drop down. From here you can change the presets.
If this is not the case, it is possible that you can reset the settings to default with these instructions: [[Fix printing problems in Firefox]]

Trying to print ical

Hi, I am trying to print one month to send to volunteers so they can circle shifts they can work during a 10 day festival. Problem is, when I put the times in I can only do it with the ALL DAY option otherwise when I print just the iCal it not only prints what is I wrote on the calendar heading, but also the start time. I only need times, and in order of earliest time to latest.
Also, why is my iCal printing out purple rather than in black when I click on Black and White?
If anyone has any idea what I am talking about I would love some help.
Thanks, Beth

Beth, I read your post several times, and I am still confused.
it not only prints what is I wrote on the calendar heading, but also the start time.
Is the problem that it is giving you times, or that it is giving you the calendar heading?
I only need times, and in order of earliest time to latest.
But it gives the times, in time sequence.
Please try restating the problem, with maybe an example or two.

Officejet Pro 6835 self-cancels print jobs with more than 3 copies

I am printing 5x7 invitations for a business. No matter how many copies I request, y brand new HP Officejet Pro 6835 will self-cancel the print job after 3 invitations have printed. So if I have 30 invites to print, I have to print them in batches of 3. Tonight I had 150 invites to print - so it is a long envening. The error displayed on my HP ENVY laptop is that there is an error and can't print (not informative). The error on the HP printer is that the print job has been cancelled.
The other issue is that I am forced to print the 5x7 invites in landscape mode which is very slow. Portrait mode would go much faster but for some reason the handshake between Word and the printer will not allow this to happen. I've tried to custom configure the page set up to be 7x5, but Word will not save the custom configuraiton.
Please help!

Hi-
Thank you for the suggestion but unfortuneately the hotfix did not solve the problem. I am now getting between 2.5 to 3 copies. Do you have any other thoughts? I did install the hotfix on c:/ which was the default - was there another directory I should have chosen?
As a side note, I am trying to print a batch right now and am trying to seperate the job into copies of 2. Even this is not working. About every very other card, I am getting a partially printed card and the print job cancels. In a batch of 19 (10 print jobs of 2), I have 11 ruined cards because they have partially printed before the job self-cancels. Very expensive to have a 60% ruin rate.
Also, I would really like to be able to print in portrait rather than landscape mode. I am estimating that printing in landscape mode takes more than 4.5 x (23 seconds) than portrait mode (5 seconds) - when printing 150 copies this results in a job being over an hour vs. closer to 15 minutes which is best case since I have to constantly restart the job. I also suspect that landscpae mode is far less efficient in its use of ink than portrait mode. Any help would be very much appreciated!
Thanks!

MG5420 Won't print on DVD, it always prints on paper

Hello,
I purchased the MG5420 a few days ago as an upgrade to an older Canon printer. 90% of my printing is on DVD's / BLU Rays. I got one to print, and that was all. Now, whenever I try to print on a DVD, it always starts printing to paper. From the pretty bad My Garden software (which I just downloaded the newest version), there is no option to choose paper size J or the disc as a media.
And to top it off, I have tried 3 third party DVD printing software, and they can't print properely on this printer.
Help please...I just want to print on DVD's. I don't care if it never prints on any other media.

I have 10.6.8 and have installed two new printers HP 8610 and an Epson 7880 and can not find the Page Set-up menu anywhere in the applications I a trying to print from. There are no page sizes, paper types, appearsto be locked on a 13x19 size but It.

Hi to the Mac Folks,
I have 10.6.8 and have installed two new printers HP 8610 and an Epson 7880 and can not find the Page Set-up menu anywhere in the applications I a trying to print from. This is regardless of either printer selected.
I primarily print photos from Photoshop CS5. The term Page Set-up has gone missing in the file pull down menu. Can't make any choices There are no page sizes, paper types, appearsto be locked on a 13x19 size paper format. Either being too large or too small.
Saw a 2008 locked issue about this however none of the help fit my situation, options discussed are not available to me.
Preview has no "Page Setup" - or does it?
Does the constant struggle with computer compatability weirdness issues ever end or is it a enslavement scheme?

Hey,
if you know the name(s) of the root folder(s) you want to access (eg. by making a note on the Windows side) then you can make them appear by just doing Shift-Command-G in Finder ("Go to Folder…"), and entering the full path to the required folders. You can then navigate all the contents as normal.
HTH,
