My HP2025 prints unwanted pages from web crawlers.

Everday I find at least 3 unwanted pages have been printed by my HP2025 printer. The text usually only consists of the address for a website plus a few lines of text. Here is one of the more frequent examples:
GET http://www.baidu.com/ HTTP/1.1
Host: www.baidu.com
Accept: */*
Pragma: no-cache
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.01; Windows 98)
I've been told that this due to an open internet port on the printer being hit by a webcrawler and the printer interprets this as a request to print something.
Does anyone know of a way to block this from happening?
Thanks

Firefox prints partial pags from web why on left side only?

When I want to print a page from the web, Firefox prints only 2-3 inches on left side of page.
I can print e-mail OK.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== 7-20-10

'''"I can print e-mail OK. "'''
Web mail through Firefox, or using a different email program?
See this:
[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problems_printing_web_pages#Prints_to_a_small_portion_of_the_page]
Also, check the margin setting in File > Page Setup. An excessively large right margin setting can cause something like that.

Can print test pages from embedded web server., put not from windows

Hello,
I have a P1102w that worked perfectly through the last 5 month.
Two days ago it stopped printing anything for some reason. What happen is, when I print something, it spools, but then I get Error-Printing under the status when I double click the printer icon in the "devices and printers" manager of windows 7.
Right now I can see the printer in Ad Hoc. I can load the embedded web server,. And I can print test pages from the embedded web server.
However, if I tried to print test pages using the printer icon in "devices and printers" manager".. it doesnt print!
If I go to Devices and Printers -> Properties -> Advanced -> "Print directly to printer" -> Apply
I got an error box: "Printer settings could not be saved. Operation could not be completed (error 0x0000070c)."
The printer works fine when connected to other laptops (with exactly the same driver/setting)..
This problem is driving me crazy !
Thank you in advance for your help

Hi m-rasheed,
An ad-hoc connections is much more unstable than an infrustructure network using a router. At this point i would suggest getting a wireless router, and then connect the printer to your network through the router.

Print multiple pdf from web site

Hello everyone!!,
I need print multiple pdf from web site (web page) to the local printer o client printer.
I have investigated : cfexecuted, java code, javascript, but i can't do it.
The idea is don´t open printer dialog box for to print.
Thanks.

It is NOT POSSIBLE (for security reasons) to do silent printing in this way. (you wouldn't want to visit a web site and have your printer start spewing out page after page of profanity, would you??)
You can, however, offer the user the choice to print and then have it print. That can easily be done by embedding JavaScript into the PDF to be printed. If you have multiple documents, you should merge them together on the server first and then send a single document.

Printing blank pages from Safari

Trying to print a page from the web on Safari. When print preview opens it shows a blank page. I've tried to save as a PDF with the same results. This is getting frustrating. I shouldn't have to import things into preview or Adobe to print form the web. Any suggestions?

Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

How do I print 2 pages from a pdf file and enlarge it

how do i print 2 pages from a file and enlarge it to email

Hi stevebulldog,
Do I understand correctly that you'd like to extract two pages from a PDF, and then send them via email?
To extract pages from a PDF, you need to use Acrobat. If you don't have Acrobat, you can try it for free for 30 days. Please see http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.
I'm not sure what you mean by "enlarge" it. When your recipient views the PDF, they can enlarge the view (zoom in on the PDF) by choosing options from the View menu in Acrobat or Reader.
Best,
Sara

Hi,
It depends on the software you are using, what is it ? In general you can select a range or just a number of pages.

Message- Print No pages from the document were selected to be printed

I have had this application for some time, simply never used it. Last night I tried converting a PDF file to word, unsuccessfully, I might add.
Today, whilst printing a page, my printing settings appear to have been reset because when I selected Print selected page, the following message appeared:
Print
No pages from the document were selected to be printed message
How do I reconfigure my settings to preview rather than defaulting to PDF? Kindly advise. Cheers.

I have only been able to print by exporting from iphoto. I have a new HP printer and there is software that supports photo printing ("HP photo smart") and I have been able to do it this way. On some occasions I have been able to use the iphoto>print>then preview before actually printing. There is a print option on the preview pane and that has worked on occasion...unsure why it doesn't work always. Please pass on any other hints, or let me know if this works for you!!

Every time that I try to print a page from the internet, my Mac crashes and I get a "Crash Reporter" icon. Any suggestions?

Every time that I try to print a page from the internet, My Mac (Maverick 10.9.4) crashes and I see a "Crash Reporter" icon. Any suggestions?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

HP printer only prints blank pages from Word or Pages

My HP all in one printer only prints blank pages from Word or Pages documents, prints ok from anything else. Any ideas? Have deleted and readded printer removed HP software reinstalled software from Apple etc. Help please!

If this just happens from these two programs, it's most likely a driver conflict. If typically using an alternate driver will alow you to get around this. To try this, add the printer's que to the Mac. Click the dropdown next to Use and choose a driver that's not for your printer. Typically the best one to try is another Photosmart dirver, but Deskjet drivers will work as well. I would make the instructions a bit more clear, but I don't have access to a 10.6 Mac. Let me know if this works or not.

How do I print a page from the month view on my iPad?

I need to print a page from my calendar for travel. Any suggestions how to do this?

Take a screen shot of the page, then print it from your Camera Roll.
Open the calendar to the page you want to print.
Press the home button first, then immediately press the power button and you'll hear a shutter click like a camera.
Go to your Camera Roll and you'll see a picture of the screen shot.
If you have an Airprint printer associated with your iPad, print it.
If you don't, email the photo to a system you can print from.

HP Network Printer periodically prints a page from a web crawler

I support a HP Color LaserJet CP2025dn which ocassionally prints a page that says:
GET http://www.baidu.com/ HTTP/1.1
Host: www.baidu.com
Accept: */*
Pragma: no-cache
User-Agent:
Sometimes the GET HTTP/1.1 statement is from http://www.sciencedirect.com.
I'm guessing that this is caused by some sort of web crawler that hits port 9100 at this printer's network address. Is there any setting on the HP Color LaserJet CP2025dn that I might make to stop these pages from printing?
[ I know that blocking this port at a router may solve the issue, but I'm looking for a solution that fixes the issue at the printer, thank you. ]
Thanks for your help!
-Ken

Waynely,
Simple Explanation:
Internet users, likely Chinese, scan addresses (computers, or other devices that are networked) on the Internet that accept certain connections. They do this to probe for vulnerabilities to exploit, or to route traffic through machines as a “proxy.” Being a proxy means loading and sending information at the request of another. This can be used to bypass local security, such as China’s severe Internet censorship. It can also be used to hide traces back to the source, such as when a criminal doesn’t want to be located when hacking.
The printers are set up such that they can communicate outside the local network. This allows printing from other networks, but can be located by Internet users doing scans. Printers appear to these scans as a possible proxy. The printed pages are the commands sent as a test of possible proxies for use. The command means “tell this device to load this website and report back.” The printer interprets the request as a print job and prints out the given command.
This needs a fix, but is not critical. There is risk to lost supplies. The pages are also a nuisance. There is a smaller risk of a printer vulnerability being exploited for more serious use. This would be a complex and targeted attack instead of a broad scan.
Possible Solutions:
1) Block this traffic with a firewall
2) Block this traffic with printer access controls
3) Update the firmware on the printer to block this
4) Change the network configuration to not be accessible from the Internet.

Foxfire crashes when i try to print any page from the web site

foxfire crashes when i try to print and page ie my ncis(firearm), bank statement even if do a print page

It would appear you have a multi-function printer with a fax. This device would install as a Fax and as a printer as seperate devices. Make sure you are printing to the printer device. What is your printer model? What operating system? What browser are you printing from?
