My pixma printer skips lines/text only in black

My pixma printer skips lines/text. Color prints fine. Anything printed with PGBK (5) does not. I have cleaned the printer head by removing the carriage that holds the cartridges and using a Q-tip. That did not work. It seems that many people have this problem, but nobody can solve it. Note, the problem is in the printer, not the computer, as the test sheet does not print the PGBK correctly (skips some of it). I almost suspect that the printer prints fine when the cartridge is going in one direction, but when it comes back, it doesn't print at all as the pattern is very regular. Like this:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Has anyone solved this?

Firefox printing incorrectly to printer with Generic /Text Only driver

I have a printer that uses the Generic / Text Only driver, and everytime I try and print to it with Firefox, a carrage return is added after every space. For example this text:
<pre><nowiki><
875 000 096 099
>
</nowiki></pre>
Gets printed like this:
<pre><nowiki><
875
000
096
099
></nowiki></pre>
The text gets printed correctly if I use IE9 or notepad. Any suggestions?

Please refer to this article for help. [[Fix printing problems in Firefox]]

Printer skips lines and enlarges font between web based pages.

'''bold text'''HP c7200 printer connected wirelessly to MacBookPro w/Lion. Using Firefox 9.0.1 browser. Printer prints first page just fine and then starts second page by skipping several lines and printing in larger font. PC also connected to same printer, and printer works OK. Safari works OK, too. Solutions would be appreciated.
Problem began prior to upgrading to Mac Lion. Lion has updated printer driver. Same problem. Only occurs when trying to print a web page or something downloaded from a web page, such as a financial spreadsheet. Non-web-based documents print OK. Help. Thanks.

I've seen this happen when the Page Setup on the FireFox browser was set to 80% (or probably anything less than 100%). Check that setting and change to 100% and reprint.

How to Print Multiple line items(only the one's that are selected in va22)

Hello All ,
My smartform should print the multiple selected line items that i as a user should be able to see as the output .
In my case i dont have any program that calls the transaction va22
directly from the transaction VA22 i give the ISSUE OUTPUT TO .
The Driver program that calls my smartforms fetches the data from table VBAP .
Two cases that i get because of this fetching logic .
1. When i try to fetch the data based on only VBELN in the output i get all the items that are in the particular Quotation .
2 . When i try to fetch data based on VBELN and POSNR in the ouptut when i select multiple items and give print the first item that i i selected is displayed .
Now what i need is to print only those data that i select in VA22 .
say if there are items A, B , C, D ,E in the Quotation .
and before printing i select A , C , D then only those items should be printed .
I hope any one of the Experts can solve my problem .
Thanks & Regards
Faran

Hi
I think you will need to do some enhancemwnt for this. What you can do select the lines in table comtrol and before issuing output you need to find a suitable wnhancement place where you can export the selected lines and make the corresponding change in logic for the same?.
Secondly uou can make a custom report also where user will select lines of po and print..but in this way you will need to many calculations

Print/Save Selected Text to PDF

I want to use Mozilla Firefox very much for a long time. I like it because the UI is very clean, easy to use, the icon vey pretty. When I use in my Android Mobile, it is very easy and intelligent to select content of page site. Very good!
But I had to install Chrome instead so I've always been using "Print a selected content to PDF" but I couldn't find ways to do that with Firefox. Chrome is doing very good.
I searched all add-ons, pdf printer software but they are only saving or printing all the page (website) to PDF.
Please help me the ways to save a selected content to PDF. Thanks very much.

No Images in Text-Only

Hello,
How would one go about eliminating the display of images inside portlets when
the text-only lookandfeel is selected? Please excuse my general lack of knowledge,
but I don't even know where to begin. I suspected it might be doable with the
netui:image but have not had any initial success. Thanks in advance

Had the same problem and didnt know what to do. But problem have been solved dont really know how, what i know is i was trying to look for some sort of paste options....went into "Files", ive clicked on the "device central..." a window open with some stuff loading, then canceled the window. Then craated a new document, did a shape with the 'rectangle tool" and type a short line random text, i then selected both and try to copy and paste them. it worked, both were pasted no single line text only this time. I try the same thing with a "place" image on the same document...copy both the image and the text and it pasted both of them. Im not having any issue now even after closing illustrator and opening it again, nor having any issue with the file when i first saw this problem.
maybe it was luck for me, hope it helps for you.

How to print specific lines out of a Tail - N command.

Hello,
Here is my problem. Within a web application, one of the menu is supposed to do the following:
Check the n lastest lines of a file (a log file in fact) and print the lines that only contain "ADD" or "DEL"
I don't know how to do it ! Please, help !!

This should get you started, it's a java version of tail which takes multiple files and there roll extension and runs forever (hopefully!).

Can Captivate 5 support multi-line text boxes?

A colleague is trying to add a text box, where the user will need to enter multiple lines... We don't want word wrap, we actually want the user to be able to add carriage returns and additional lines... Is that possible?
If the text box element can't do multiple lines, is there a way to accomplish this using a different canned element? (non-klunky, I've read the 3-year-old thread on this topic.)
Thanks in advance

How to set photosmart plus printer to print automatic printables only in black

Hi im trying to see if there is a way to set my Photosmart plus printer to print my app printables only in black ink

I am going to assume here actually that this may not be a possible task. I know it seems it would conserve ink but even most all black-only pages are made of composite black which is derived by a combination of all the colors to give it a sharper image or it will appear dull.
Plus, the option for black only is found in the print driver when printing directly from a PC. The printer itself does not seem to have that option in the device menu/tools. Some models do have ink-saving options in their eco-mode settings, but (from memory anyway) I do not think this is one of those models.
If there truly is a setting for it, then it will be found in the printer's web page. Open a web-browser and type in the printer's IP address (available on the network configuration page "IPv4") and explore the settings in here. I have my doubts but it is always worth a try to at least point you in the right direction.
The manufacturer of the app usually sets the perimeters for these functions so if there was such an option you would find that on the app's page at the hpconnected/eprint website. A lot of apps provide a section for suggestions, maybe submit an idea and see if they offer a solution.
Good luck! Let me know what you come up with.
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

Print line number only on item lines (not text lines)

Hi everyone,
I need to print the line number on a document only for the item lines, not the text lines.
I also want the line number serie to be in a straight ascending serie, not just to skip the numbering on the text lines.
Like this
Item    Description                         Price
1   123    Item 123                              100 EUR
     This is a special offer for you!
2   456    Item 456                               275 EUR
3   678    Item 678                               300 EUR
     This item is not on stock.
4   888    Item 888                               350 EUR
Any hints?
Thank you!

Hi Susanna,
You probably need an UDF to achieve your goal. There is no formula supporting your requirement.

Printing all text in a multi-line text field?? Can it be done?

I was wondering if there is a way to print out a multi-line field and have all text entered print as well. Currently, anytime someone enters more information in a multi-line text field on our form than is set to show without scrolling, when a PDF is created for printing from the results page, only the text that fits within the specified size prints. You can scroll within the PDF and read it all, but I can't seem to figure out how to get all of the text to show and have that field resize accordingly on the printed copy.
Is there a way? Thanks.

Is there an easy way to determine the character count that is visible in a given multi-line text field when designing the form, so if I want to allow 500 characters, the text box I create is large enough for 500 characters? Obviously I can just do a trial and error process using a cut and paste of 500 characters and testing it, but is there an easier way?

Searching a text file and printing the line if found!

Hi, Im fairly new to JAVA and have been googling this for hours and havent found any results that
have helped me...
Im looking to search a text file for a value that is in a that is delimited by colons
eg 45787 : 398948 : 398884 : 398984
IF that value is found I need to print this entire line and move it into a string.
I can work out the delimit part, the problem for me is a)searching the text file
and b) tell java to print that line only??
Any help would be very very much appreciated
Cheers
James

               }//while
               for(int i1 = 0;i1 < courseObjArray.length;i1++)
               System.out.println(courseObjArray[i1].courseCode);
               System.out.println(courseObjArray[i1].courseName);
               System.out.println(courseObjArray[i1].courseName);
               System.out.println("-----------------");
               String courseCode2 = "courseObjArray[i1].courseCode";
               if (courseCode2 == "12345")
                    System.out.println("working");
               else{System.out.println("Not Found");}
       }hmmm just wondering why could this method always return a "Not Found"....if the text file had a whole bunch of values like this
12345:Course1
12344:Course2
12343:Course3
isnt it surposed to return 1 "Working"?? because there is a 12345 in on of the line, in the semi colon delimited line with 2 values, one being the course code, one being the course name??
Given that there is 10 lines (from Array Object)
