My HP 309c is only printing on half the page.

When I print from a web page, my HP309C only prints on the lower half of the paper. This causes a 2 page document to print on 4 sheets. Printing from Word works normally. I have reloaded the driver (full install of software) direct from HP with no affect. Running Windows 7 home and all patches. IE 8 and 9 both affected.

Please read this post then provide some details. What printer model? What operating system? What program are you printing from?

Only printing on half of page

Below you can see the settings I have used to print the page. And What the page came out like.The paper is 220gm Gloss.Thanks!

Here is what you need to do. On the printer go to the diagnostics menu and then choose the pq troubleshooting and select. The printer will print a number of pages including 4 sheets of solid fill color i for each color. This is where you will see the missing color and most times it is only 1 toner that is having an issue. This does not mean that particular toner is bad as it could be a bad slot. To find out you need to go to the same diagnostics menu and then scroll down to disable cartridge check and select. When the printer says ready, diagnostics mode, open the toner door and remove all the toners. Now I will give you some examples of what to do next. Let say the Cyan toner only prints on half the page. You will want to take the black toner cartridge and place it in the cyan slot. Close the door and run the same test pages again. Most will be blank, but you should get 1 page of solid fill black. If the page is ok unlike the cyan page, then the issue is the cyan toner. If the page has the same problem as the cyan page, then the slot has an issue and most likely the laser/scanner lens are dusted over. Sometimes you can lift the shutter in the back of the toner cavity for that color and use a qtip to clean the lens. Most times the laser/scanner assembly need to be removed from the printer which is not easy and then the optics cleaned.

I keep getting internet explorer cannot display web page when trying to download itunes. This only shows on half the page where the download link would be. My internet connection is fine.

You won't see anything obviously related to iCloud, Jimmy. But if you go to the home iTunes Store page while logged into your iTunes Store account, you should see a Purchases link now under the Quick Links header. That's the only part of iCloud active at this time.

Printer printing single page as multiple pages and on sometimes only print part of the page

The problem may not be with the printer it could be with the computer instead and I would think that maybe that is the problem. The computer is an HP 255 as well, and both units belong to my school so I don't have administrative functions. The computer runs Mircosoft windows 7-professional version 32 bit. I used to be able to print normally with no problems. However, recently I tried to print my paystub and it blew it up so wide and long that it only printed a third of the page down and half the page across. Today I tried to print out some other paperwork and for a single page it was printing as three pages but some pages it printed in their entirety with no problems. I've tried to run the diagnostic check and it downloads but refuses to let me open it no matter what program I try to use. I've tried to check the printing perameters but it tells me that it's set at 10 by 11 with no margins and is set to portrait. If I try it on my Asus desktop, it seems to print things just fine so I'm inclined to believe it is the computer but I have no idea what's wrong or how to fix it. Thanks.

BMack,
Have you thought about having a 2-page document where the second page is a duplicate of the first page?

Why is only half the page printing

i have a Deskjet f380 when i want to print a page, the preview shows only half the page. and it will only print half the page. i checked the setting and they seem to be fine, what gives?

Suddenly my HP J5780 printer releases pages that gradually lose printing -- top of the page OK, middle weak, no bottom. What to do?

I chose double sided printing and it only printed half the pages. it didn t ask me to flip them

I chose doubke sided printing on my F2280 and it only printed half the pages for me. . . . . .I didn task me to flip them round and continue and it is quite a big document to print it over again
can you help please? : )
Thanks

Sometimes the wireless MagicMouse can be erratic and seem to automatically zoom in, etc. Try going to System Preferences and detuning the sensitivity settings, see if that helps.

C4650 Will only print black from the internet. MS Word and PS will not print in black but has color.

Before you think I just haven't tried anything, let me run you down with the whole lot:
-HP PhotoSmart C4650
-Windows Vista
-Problem: My printer won't print in black --but-- this only goes for Microsoft applications it seems. If I have a page of text in black, when printing from MS Word, the page comes out blank, however the printer is actually "printing" back and forth. IF, however I print from my browser, from email, or a webpage, picture, google docs, etc, black prints *just fine.* So far this holds true for both MS Word and PhotoShop CS5. Issue: Black ink simply doesn't print from any program other than a browser.
-NO. The cartridge isn't empty. NO. It's not incompatible. NO. The cartridge head isn't dry and I am not going to soak it in water. This is a new cartridge. It's the official HP brand.
I've done a search and I've found that a few people seem to have this "only print from the internet" problem, however none of these was solved. The only advice that an HP support member gave to one of them is to "install XP service pack 2" however.. I am not running XP. A few other people get the opposite issue where they can only print color from the internet and not from the computer's applications.
I don't know much about printers but it sounds like some kind of driver issue. Yes. I've already searched for, uninstalled and reinstalled drivers. Whenever I have to print something, I now try to open it up in my firefox just so I can be able to print black. It's quite the hassle. Almost seems like some kind of ploy to cause people to buy new ink cartridges when it's not really empty.
-Yes, I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the printer.
-Updated my windows (although idk how that would help. But I know it's going to be a suggestion anyway.)
Is there any known fix or should i chuck it off the balcony and go get a lexmark?

Why does my printer only use 25% of the page and shrink to fit?

when i print certain things it only uses 25% of the page. It is so small i can't read it. If i go to print preview and modify the size, it puts it on multiple pages. I can't figure out how to change any settings.

Firefox extracts the paper size information from your Windows printer settings, so that's the first thing to check. In the print dialog, if you click the Properties button and review the dialog for your printer, do you have a small paper size selected and can you update it?
If Windows is correct and Firefox is mistaken, you can reset the stored paper size using the about:config preferences editor.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box that appears above the list, type or paste '''paper''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Look for your printer's paper-related settings and then right-click and choose Reset for each (e.g., size, height, width, etc.).
If you return to your document and try Print Preview, does Firefox compute the correct size?

When I am merging a Pages document, the header and graphic is only printing on every other page?

I have make a Merge file from Pages. When I go to print this, the Header and Graphic is only printing on every other page. Can anyone advise?

That is very hard to follow.
We have no idea what you are merging, nor what header or graphic you are referring to as we can not see the document.
My guess is that you are talking about something like a letterhead which has a logo and address only on the first page and none on the following pages.
Each merge is probably running over the 1st page and onto a following blank page. If you want the "Header and Graphic" to appear on subsequent pages as well then you will need to create master pages/objects for the following pages to suit.
This is how you go about doing it for a standard letterhead and follower:

Just add the graphics to the follower pages as well.

PRINTING: Keynote will only print to a certain page # then stops

Just to get this out of the way: iWork '08/Keynote 4.0, Mac OS 10.4.10 and everything has been updated. I also looked for other strings relating but could not find any.
I have a few reports created in Keynote that will only print to a certain page. Each report prints the same page every time, but the page # differs for each report. For instance, one report will print to page 32 out of 64, another to 42 out of 70, etc...
Further, if I select the pages that were missing, they will not print at all.
I have tried different printers, networks and printers. Other programs (Word/Excel) will print in total.
Has anyone heard of this problem/have any advice?
Much thanks,
Matt

My hp 100 mobile printer will only print one page then quits. will not print all of the pages.

Hello colt1,
Are you using Bluetooth or USB cable to connect to the printer? Did you install from the disc, or from the online program? When it sits there and doesn't print, does it eventually give error messages, lights flashing, etc.?
Thanks,

HP psc 950 all-in-one is printing half the page...cuts off the top portion of what I am printing.

HI! My HP psc 950 all-in-one is printing half the page....cuts off the top portion of what I am printing. Not sure what happened to the printer. Came home one day and the printing wasn't the same. Possibly the kids could have fiddled with it but no one is owning up to it. Any solution to get the printer printing normal again?
Thanks

My 2D Array is only printing one of the elements

Hello,
My 2D array is only printing one of the elements and I was wondering if someone can help me figure out why. I want this program to simply print the value and position in the matrix. An example output would be
0,0 0,1 0,2
1,0 1,1 1,2
2,0 2,1 2,2
Thanks.
public class PrintArrayPositions1 {
    public static void main (String[]args){
     /* The number sectors in array */
     int M = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
     int N = Integer.parseInt(args[1]);
     //create an array to store value and position in.
     int[][]count = new int[M][N];
     /*/ array to record results/*/
     for(int i=0; i<count.length; i++){
         for(int j=0; j<count.length; j++){
          count[i][j]= i + j;
          System.out.print(" " + count[i][j] + " ");
     System.out.println();

count[i][j] prints the sum of row and column, which is not what you want i think...
for(int i=0; i<count.length; i++){
         for(int j=0; j<count.length; j++){
          System.out.print(i+","+j+" ");
     System.out.println();

Browserlab only showing top half of page

The first link on my home page www.ReduceStressNow.net is http://www.reducestressnow.net/breakthrough
But when I Command click this link in IE9, then Browserlab only loads half the page. There's an Expander with eleven entries, immediately before the Scientific Proof/New Scientist section and browserlab stops showing after the first few. The rest of the page is missing.
This is perhaps why none of its first six links are working (see the fifth paragraph on the /breakthrough page.) They are all same-page links to further down the page in the missing part, the first one is: www.reducestressnow.net/breakthrough/#new-scientist
I'm using the main Browserlab interface with Mac Snow Leopard and Firefox to check my site works in Windows Internet Explorer.
Warm regards,
Cris
Fyi the page navigation keys don't work in the browserlab pages although they are working on the browserlab forum in a separate tab in the same window. That's page top, page bottom, page up and page down on my extended keyboard.

This is not a bug. BrowserLab has a limitation on the size of screenshots it will take... currently that's a max of about 4000 x 4000 pixels. It looks like your page is considerably longer than and thus is getting cropped on the server. And you're correct, that's why those in-page links don't work. I'll go ahead and forward this on to our product manager as an enhancement request to be able to handle larger pages.

Every time I use safari on my macbook pro with retina display, only half the page will load then it freezes up?

Every time I use safari on my macbook pro with retina display, only half the page will load then it freezes up? It's brand new, so I don't understand why it would be doing this?
