Page too complex to print

Since updating Safari to version 5.1.3 and later (now 5.1.5) my HP 2605dn printer balks on printing some Web page with the error message, "Document too complex to print" and I have to recycle the power and empty the print queue. This wasn't a problem before as it printed any page Safari sent it. I'm wondering if others are having this same problem with Safari. There are some Web pages I have to print independent of others and some which just won't print anymore.

Hi...

Page too complex error message

Hi all; new to this forum. I have a HP2840 laser (color and black and white) all in one printer which is appx. 1 year old. I keep getting error message "page too complex" and cannot print page. Also, the printer always took a long time to print anything out, but now it won't print. Can my printer memory be full? Any thoughts would be appreciated. thanks.

This is a quote from another post. This is not from my own in anyway shape or form. I am sorry I dont have the person that found this fix and I would like to thankthe person that did find this one.
In order to fix this you need to turn off High Speed USB in the Secondary Service menu.
To access the Secondary Service Menu press the Menu button and the number 2. Use the < arrow to navigate to the High Speed USB selection.
Press Enter and then use the arrow key to go to Off and press Enter again. Press the Cancel button twice to exit the Secondary Service Menu

Windows 7 64 bit wlil not print to my HP Laserjet 2840. Error message 'file too complex' on printer.

How can I get Windows 7 64 bit to send 32 bit print files to my HP Laserjet 2840?

When the print job is being sent to the printer do any of the lights blink?
Running the diagnostics at http://www.hp.com/go/tools may help resolve the issue.
I would also suggest running a stand alone sample page on the printer to make sure it is printing properly.

Printer finds 'image to complex to print' - can I reduce the resolution?

This may be a printer issue, heaven knows this HP 2840 has given me enough of those, but I'm trying to print out an image that my printer thinks is too complex to print. Is there a way for me to drop the print resolution down a bit to see if I can print? I've reduced the resolution of the image in 'Image size' to 72 dpi and unchecked 'resample' but it's still telling me it is printing a 600 dpi image. What do I do?
I'm using PSE 9.0. Thanks!

Image>resize>image size brings up a dialog in which you specify pixels/per inch. For a good print, it is desirable to have the resolution = 240-300px/in. Printing at 72 px/in usually results in pixellation
DPI to which you refer is a printer setting for the print quality.
Open a picture file in Editor, go to File>print, and in the dialog that comes up, #2 is for Printer settings, and here you may be able to change the settings from default. I don't have an HP printer.
"but I'm trying to print out an image that my printer thinks is too complex to print". This is anthropomorphism at its finest. Do you get a warning message when you go to print? What does it say?

Clipping mask, object too complex, can't use bitmap either

Hi all,
I'm in Illustrator CS4 trying to make a page that has content that I want to embed within a rounded rectangle. Sounds easy enough.
I've been successful sticking some content into a rounded rectangle, until now. Now I have a page that apparently is "too complex". It has lots of transparencies and gradients and such. Once I try to do the clipping mask thing I am told it's very complex and may not print or work right. I go ahead anyway and it just looks blank/invisible.
Then I thought artboards might be a way to do this, but I couldn't see how you could make an artboard that is a shape other than a rectangle (I'd like a rounded rectangle).
So then I thought if export the image to a bitmap and then repaste it in, maybe I could embed the bitmap into the rounded rectangle. Pain in the butt, but I'm looking for any solution. But that doesn't even work because it says the top selected object must be "a path, a compound shape, a text object, or a group of those". So a bitmap can't be used
Has anyone had more luck with this? In CorelDraw I've always just placed objects, no matter how complex, into a "container" without any issues. Certainly there's a way to do the same here. This drawing isn't *that* complex.
Thanks in advance for your advice!

Check your flattener settings in the prefs, specific flattening options of your object groups and also the raster effects resolution for your document. Reduccing their dpi should make working possible.

Page breaks in (html) printed apex report

I am having a strange problem that appears to be related to APEX page template.
I have a report that is html generated by a PL/SQL function. I need to have page breaks in the printed report at specific locations. I am adding this style to the html output of the function:
<STYLE>
DIV.pageBreak { page-break-before: always; }
</STYLE>
and I insert this at the locations I need breaks:
< D I V CLASS="pageBreak"/>
(without the spaces in DIV)
(found this technique here: http://www.unagibay.com/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabindex=1&tabid=100&itemid=1821 )
This works perfect when I run the report in IE, but FireFox is "ignoring" the page breaks. However, if I take just the output of the PL/SQL function in an html doc, FireFox works fine (breaks at the proper places). This makes me believe something related to the "page wrapper" content generated by APEX causes FireFox to not handle the breaks.
I have tried copying and editing the Popup and Printer Friendly page templates, but I either remove too much and the page doesn't render, or the page breaks don't work.
My questions for the APEX gurus are:
1. Is there an "approved" way to get page breaks in the printed version of an APEX report, or is there a better way to do what I need to do.
2. What is the minimum contents for a page template (what can I safely remove).
Thanks,
Bill

Hi Owen,
the page breaks are inserted before/after the section. Expand the report structure window and make sure that the properties window is open below. Once you click on the section part, you will see where you can insert the page breaks - the check boxes will appear in the properties.
yes on the second part - just insert the page break between the data providers and then repeat the header for the data provider on the pages (also check boxes on the properties tab)
Good luck

Table too big to print

This is my first time using numbers so im having a bit of trouble. I just made a table with 23 countries and their IDP's and when I made it into a single column chart the chart only showed a few countries so I expanded it to make them all showing. Only thing is when I expanded it it made it like 5 pages long if I wanted to print it. So I made the countries on the x-axis vertical and it helped a little but its still too long. How can I make a graph that will fit on one page to be printed??

First, size your chart as you need to so everything shows as you like it to.
At the left of the toolbar is an icon for "view". Click it and select Show Layout. This will show you how your pages will look when printed. In the layout view there is a slider at the bottom for "content size". Slide it to the left to make your chart (and table) smaller. Slide it until your chart fits on one page. Your table may be really small at this point. If it is too small, select the table and drag the selection box to enlarge it. If necessary, put the table on one page and the chart on another.

Drop Shadows Look Too Solid When Printed

Designer newbie here with a drop shadow question. I am working on a project using vintage-style square photos with a white stroke and a drop shadow. It looks great on the screen but I just got a page back from the printer and the drop shadows are way too solid-looking on the paper. They almost look like grey boxes around the photo.
This is a personal project and every time I print, I have to go to FedEx Office to pick it up, so I don't want to just fiddle. I'm hoping you can help me. How do I get them to look more subtle? I tried lowering the opacity and they just looked like lighter gray boxes around the photo.
I am using Adobe InDesign CS 6Here are the settings I am using:
Thanks!

The High Quality Press preset exports color unchanged so a default drop shadow will export as CMYK black percentages. I'm assuming that the FedX printer is some kind of composite copier and it might not color manage device CMYK values very well. By default ID documents are set up for US SWOP web press printing, which the FedX printer is not.
I don't think there's an easy answer for you, but I would build a test sheet with a dozen or so boxes with different shadows. It's not unusual for composite digital printer to have trouble with CMYK values, so try some shadows with RGB as the color and export with the PDF/X-4 preset.
Also set your document's RGB profile to sRGB :

Expression too complex in query expression

Is there a size limit to a recordset query that is causing
this error or is there a possible syntax issue with my query

That doesn't sound like an error that would normally occur on a lot of pages... Do you have AdBlock (Plus), or any Greasemonkey userscripts, or any similar add-ons that customize sites? I wonder whether one of those might have some faulty logic.

Subtitles too complex , copy subtitles?

I am putting 4 graduation ceremonies onto separate DVDs. I put the subtitles into one of the ceremonies using Encore,(time consuming I know but not in a serious time crunch yet).Outputted to DVD and everything is great. Seeing how the speeches are basically the same between ceremonies replaced 1st ceremony asset with 2nd ceremony asset, moved subtitles to
sync up and changed content on some (for adlibs and miss speaks,can't anyone stick to a damn script).Had to move large sections of subtitles due to change of order of speakers. Check project and is fine. Start burning DVD and after transcoding video get to subtitles section and it stops telling me the subtitles are too complex. Any suggestions? Will lassoing and copying subtitles and pasting into new project work?

"Subtitles or subpictures too complex to build." error message. Encore CS4, Win XP.
I wrestled with this, even attempting to delete cached files until my original project wouldn't load. I rebuilt the project and all the navigation in a new project, and reimported all the subtitles, blocking them as before. I got the same error message on build. After seeking advice online I tried narrowing my left and right text field margins in the subtitle import dialog to 100 and 620. Same error on build.
I built a new test project, importing one subtitle track at a time without modification onto a new timeline with my project's video. That was OK on build. I modified 2 of the subtitles in the same way as before, making the typeface smaller. That build was rejected with the original error message. I returned the typeface size of that page to the original size. That built ok. I tried squeezing the text aspect for the one page to get the blocking I wanted. That build was rejected. I returned the text aspect to normal but re-blocked the page to get the text to at least fit, even though it wasn't the layout I wanted. (I took some of line 1 in French and moved it to line 2.) That built. I am cutting my losses and letting the blocking go for that language, on that page.
Bottom line: it appears that you can't mix typeface sizes in subtitle tracks, at least in my single experience. I did find another post that claimed that making a larger outline on the text also can remove the error on build, but I found that out later, so didn't get to test it.

Is there a way in Pages to show and print all the added "comments?" (those you add by highlighting text) I'd like students to be able to view my comments on printed version of their papers.

Is there a way in Pages to show and print all the added "comments?" (those you add by highlighting text) I am a teacher, and I would like students to be able to view my comments on printed versions of their papers. I know word displays the comments off to the side of the document, and those comments can be viewed all at once and printed alongside the document.

There doesn't appear to be a way to print conmments in either Pages or Numbers in the Mavericks versions.

Text overflown in the first page is not getting printed in the next page

Hi Experts,
I have a text field, where the users can enter the comments. In this text field if the user enters more than a page, a scroll bar appears in the print preview where the users can view the complete text what they have entered, but while printing the text which exceeds more than a page is not getting printed in the next page.
I have set the subform properties as "Flowed" and the check box "Allow Page Break within content" is also been enabled, but still the extra contents is not getting printed in the next page.
Please help me regarding this.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi,
This issue is in ADOBE, I think there is no concept of Window in ADOBE,
The text box is placed inside a Subform.

I am trying to print all the PDF pages in a range of 5 pages but can only print one page at a time . . . It will print the current page, but not all or pages 1-5. Can this be overcome?

I am trying to print all the PDF pages in a range of 5 pages but can only print one page at a time . . . It will print the current page only, but not all or pages 1-5. I need to go to the next subsequent page and command to print current page; continuing with this procedure until all pages are printed one at a time. Can this be overcome?

You can use printPages(1, 5), however I need to know how you print current page.

How do I set a default page size, orientation, and printer for a particular document in Pages?

I have a simple label document in Pages which I print to my label printer. The label is 1.49 x 3.47 inches and needs to print in Landscape, and it needs to print to my Dymo label printer. How do I set up the Page Setup or Print Setup so it defaults to this document size, orientation, and printer, every time, without me having to manually enter those settings every time?

Thank you for your reply. However, I could not get Templates to work correctly for me. Following your instructions, I opened my document, opened Page Setup, set the printer, paper size, orientation, and printed a copy to make sure it was right. Then I re-opened Page Setup to verify that the settings were still correct. Then I saved the document as a Template. Then I found my template in Pages, opened the template, and tried to print. The first thing I noticed was that the template did not remember my printer. Then I set the printer, and printed, but I found that the template also did not remember the page size or the document orientation. So, did I miss a step here? Lion 10.7.5 and Mac Mini.

Could not complete the new 3D extrusion from selected layer command because the path is too complex.

I was trying to do a photo of mine like in this video but its not working help needed. thanks.

When I tried the 3D I got an error message that said (could not complete the new 3D extrusion from selected layer command because the path is too complex.) what does this mean and how can i fix it?

There was a bug at one time where really simple paths (like a triangle, for example) could cause that error.
Is your path really simple (I don't plan to go watch the video)? If so, have you installed the latest update for Photoshop? That bug may have been fixed already.
If it's not that, it's possible that if your path is really complex and simply exceeding Photoshop's capability.
