Pages, CocoaBooklet, Printing

I am having trouble with fonts printing blurry after converting a pages document into a booklet. The trouble is that it is seemingly random. It's not always the same place on the page and can even stop mid-sentence. It looks normal both in Preview (which I normally print from) and Adobe.
I am copying and pasting songs and liturgy into our church bulletin. I just recently switched from using MS Publisher to using Pages and CocoaBooklet and the first few weeks it was fine. This past week, I ended up with sections blurred and all the page numbers.
Here is the trouble shooting I have tried so far:
I tried putting it all in a new document then printed....still blurred (though there were a couple changes of what was blurred).
I tried deleting a blurred section and retyping it then printing....still blurred
I tried copying the changes into an old bulletin that hadn't blurred when printed previously....still blurred (though again, slightly different where)
I tried printing a different pdf....not blurred
I printed the document straight from pages.....not blurred
Any ideas would be extremely appreciated as I am racking my brain here! Thanks!

Is the text on top of something else, or under a shadow or reflection?
A photo or colored background or drop shadow or reflection will cause the text to be crudely rasterised to just 72dpi greyscale images.

Scanning multiple pages from print book into computer

How to scan multiple pages from print book into computer? Someone supplied a link to this question, but I got stuck at step 1: Where is "HP Director software"? In other directions, it says to open the "HP Scan window," but that option is not available to me when I follow the directions. I have an HP 2159m computer, HP Photosmart Plus all-in-one, Windows 7, and use Firefox, if that's any help.
TIA

I have a similar problem:
I am using an HP Officejet 6310xi via its TWAIN interface. Regardless of which application invokes TWAIN (whether Irfanview, Thumbs Plus, or something else), the scanner dialog closes after transferring each scanned image. To scan the next page requires re-starting the scanner, beginning with a whole new preview and re-entering all my scan settings. This is only an issue with the HP scanner, not with my Cannon CanoScan LIDE 100, Visioneer OneTouch 8920, or any other scanner, each of whose scanner dialogs stay open for scan after scan. Can anyone help me make the HP scanner dialog stay open for multiple pages?
Note: Based on a suggestion on another site I set my scan preferences to include "Prompt for Additional Scans from Glass" as follows, but it did not help.
I am experienced at scanning, but I find it extremely frustrating that the HP scan dialog closes, forgetting its settings, after each page.
If it helps others, I gladly share my article, "Freedom from Paper--At Last" here

All the Pages are Printed - Document Printing Sales Orders

When using the Document Printing option for Sales Orders, if I select multiple documents and select print I get a message after each document that says "All the Pages are Printed", then the next document comes for printing. I also get a prompt each time whether or not to print Sales Order only or Sales Order and Pick List.
I don't have the same issue if printing Invoices from Document Printing. It asks what to print and prints all records without additional prompts between each record. I don't see anything in Print Preferences that would cause the Order to act differently from the Invoice.
We are using B1 9.0 PL 06.

One suggestion worked from the Firefox prints incorrectly link mentioned above by mha007. I'm thrilled since this has been annoying me for weeks. Thanks mha007!
Reset all Firefox printer settings
# Open your profile folder:
# On the menu bar, click on the Help menu and select Troubleshooting Information. The Troubleshooting Information tab will open.
# Under the Application Basics section, click on Show in Finder. A window with your profile folder will open.
# Note: If you are unable to open or use Firefox, follow the instructions in Finding your profile without opening Firefox.
# On the menu bar, click on the Firefox menu and select Quit Firefox.
# In your profile folder, copy the prefs.js file to another folder to make a backup of it.
# Open the original prefs.js file in a text editor (such as TextEdit).
# Remove all lines in prefs.js that start with print. and save the file.
# If something goes wrong when you open Firefox, close it again and overwrite prefs.js with the backup you made.

When will Mozilla correct the printing bug with Firefox where only 1 page is printed?

There is a problem with FireFox whereby it only prints the FIRST PAGE of many sites.
Searching the web on this, it seems that this problem has been around for a long time and even what the cause is.
Apparently FireFox interprets the html text "overflow: hidden" as meaning to 'hide' all the rest of the page when printing.
Many users have reported this problem, but to date it has not been adressed.
Please correct this Mozilla (Or do I have to go back to using Safari?)

Please go to the following bug and add a comment documenting this problem:
https:// bugzilla .mozilla .org/ show_bug.cgi?id=258397
If more people report this problem, there is a better chance they will fix it.
''Moderator broke the hyperlink. Please don't advocate the spamming in Bugzilla reports, if anything request that users '''vote''' for a Bug that they think should be fixed. That particular Bug is a duplicate of this one - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129941 - which was fixed in 4.0b7.''

Unexpected size in Tray 1, Load A4 and press OK; 1st page of a multi page document prints fine...

Hello everybody, I have an annoying issue with a HP Laserjet Pro 100 MFP M175nw. The issue is that printing from any application and any PC platform (read Windows XP, 7 and 8.x, Mac OSX SnowLeopard and Linux) the first page is printed without a problem but the second page and the rest of the pages never get printed without intervention. The printer simply stops after printing the first page, the control panel display shows the message "Unexpected size in tray 1" "Load A4 and press OK." pressing OK button the 2nd page is printed, for the 3rd and the nth page same procedure.... The printer is out of warranty and HP does not provide any support on this subject. Printer is using genuine HP drum and toner cartridges. This isssue came up after having printed in total approximatively 7000+ (bw & color) pages in the past 2 years. The paper size used is A4, the printer is configured to use this paper by default. To remedy the problem checked all suggestions by HP provided online and checked some Dutch (HP) forums without finding a proper solution. Followed all advice such as resetting the printer, reinstalling drivers, updated firmware, using HP doctor.., replaced and changed paper lot several times, replaced toners etc etc ect no luck in printing whole documents without intervention. The issue is that printing from any application and any PC platform using either PCL or PS, USB or Ethernet or wireless (read Windows, Mac OSX and Linux) the first page is printed without a problem but the second page and the rest of the pages never get printed without intervention. The printer simply stops after printing the first page, continues to do something, lots of noise, displays printer cooling down or so message on the control panel and immediately afterwards the control panel display shows the message "Unexpected size in tray 1" "Load A4 and press OK." I am no expert in hardware but I do know enough about using the PC; I guess the problem is related to hardware which is logical as all mainstream PC platforms display same behavior. I could surely carry-in the printer to a HP service center but the price they charge would urge me to spend the money on a new printer; not HP branded one that is. Any suggestions are very much appreciated. Regards,Gece Kusu

Hello, I have exactly the same problem. I could have written the same text. And I have'nt found solutions. Except, perhaps, change this printer (and quit HP?).
Any suggestions would be really much appreciated.
Thank you for your possible responses.

Page Setup -- printing on tabloid pages

This simple problem in Acrobat X (10.1.0) is causing me to go back to Acrobat 9:
When I need to print to a tabloid-size page (my printer contains both sizes of paper), I cannot find "page setup" anywhere except in the print dialog box. When I click that button then the following message comes up:
"The Page Setup dialog box is provided by the operating system. To ensure that you can use the full print capabilities of Acrobat, please set all print options from the Application print dialog box. Do you want to continue?"
Oh yeah? Where IS the Application print dialog box? Isn't that what I was just in?
In Acrobat 9, if I wanted to change the printing paper size, I could go to File>Page Setup and change the size and IT WOULD REMAIN AT THAT SIZE UNTIL I CHANGED IT AGAIN.
But in Acrobat X, I must click this button EACH TIME I print to get a size other than the default [which is governed by my Mac's setting for Print/Fax (OS X, 10.5.8)].
Can someone tell me what I'm missing? It should be simple... (like it is in Acrobat 9).

After selecting Page Setup in the Print Dialog box (going through the warning), I then chose "Paper Size: Tabloid", and BEFORE I exited THAT page setup dialog box, I switched from "Settings: Page Attributes" to "Settings: Default". (Note that the "Settings: Default" attribute immediately bounced back to "Settings: Page Attributes".)
But it seems to work! The page size stays Tabloid (or A4 or whatever) until I change it again -- no matter whether I open a different document or quit Acrobat X and start it again.
It's not intuitive... and I was not having any success in finding an answer or a workaround.
So thank you so much for your response!
Hope that someone else having the same problem will find this thread.

HP Laserjet P3015 double sided - the last odd page prints on the same page when printing two copies

HP Laserjet P3015 double sided printing is set up on Windows 7. When printing two copies of a document, if it has odd number of pages, the last page is printed on both sides of the page. There is no page feed for the last page.
Suppose say there are 3 pages in a document and you want to print two copies. It prints like 1/2, 1/2 and 3/3. The third page (odd number) print on the same page. The last page page does not print on two pages.
It works alright on Windows XP.

Hope that you have configured the correct paper type and size in the printer hardware and also selecting the same paper tray, size, type from the printer driver while printing.
It may be caused due to the job formatting done by the application software or some jobs settings done from the job/application or printer driver. Check by toggling the 'collate' option and also try to print from a different application software.

except this major point i must admit the quality is quite good , but a bick lack of quality control and a customer disapointed at the end.
On the internet site it is not possible to send it back. So apple doesn't want to take in account that they mail sometimes fail, and want to satisfy their customer, because you have no other choice that accepting it.
best regards

Yes it is returnable.

Only page 1 prints well. Page 2 is offset to the right and information is lost at the page break. FireFox 8 and 9, Mac OS 10.6.8

Mac OS 10.6.8 FireFox 8 and 9
If I print a web page, either just print or save as PDF, only the first page prints well. Page 2 is offset to the right such that the information is cut off at the right edge. Information is lost at the page break, several lines of text will be lost. If I need to print a page, I open Safari, which does a very nice job of formating the page for print. But I want to use FireFox. Can you help me?

Pages always prints envelopes upside down

When using Pages to print envelopes, my HP laserjet always prints the envelope upside down. Apple and HP indicate I shoudl feed the envelopes with the top to the right. This works properly with everyother piece of software I have used
I know, when I use Pages I could just change the orientation of the envelope in the envelope feed slot, or check "reverse page orientation" in the Print dialog (so the envelope is upside down in the print preview.) But I'd prefer not to have to remember random procedures to accomodate software malfunctions. Is there some preference I can set in Pages (or something) to fix this so it works correctly?
PS.I hate to post this as a question, but the Apple Support Communities (SW platform, not the people ) has sort of forces this.
Why in the world does it present "Ask a question" as the main option. Initially I skipped that, but the community search funcion really *****. Searching is incredibly non-intuitive and poorly targeted (If I'm in the pages section why is it giving me totally unrelated results from unrelated sections?
Get on the ball Apple. You broke the "Support Communities" website and the OS X built in "Help Center" years ago, and still haven''t fixed them.
Thank God for all the helpful Mac users out there, because Apple's help and support efforts (Help platforms, manuals, etc.) seem to have fallen by the wayside.

Hi John,
No help on your actual question, but some comments on the search function here.
Search offers the choice of limiting the searsch to a specific community/forum when the first results are presented. You can also limit the search to a specific user.
The basic search is a keyword search, and turns up any post that has that keyword in it (with some weighting added by then software). Searches search for "Any" of the terms included in the query unless you limit the results using commands such as AND or NEAR. Not all that intuitive, I'll agree.
One other feature of the ASC site is the 'related' topics list, "More Like This," that appears after you've submitted a query. You'll find the list to the right of the message(s) in the community. A click opn the (green) checked items will often provide a solution to your(well described) issue.
None marked 'solved' on the list at this time, but some worth exploring for hints or a solution.
Regards,
Barry

Problem with getting specified pages for printing

requested Sir,
I am sanjeev, presently working with adobe indesign for publishing.
i am working verious sets of master pages,
now have a problem go gate specific pages for print in the same software.
it shows saction name that i could not inditify
give me the message
(one or more of th pages specified are not valid page name)
so how gate the valid name of pages?
please slove my problem,
thanks
sanjeev

If your document has more than one section (sections are used to restart page numbering and similar tasks) you can identify the pages using either the logical name, which uses the section prefix and the "logical' page number which is the number that appears in the page marker, or you can use the absolute page number, which is the position in the document. You can set your preferences to display section or absolute page numbering in the Pages panel, too.
Unless you assigne some other prefix, sections are labeled as Section I, Section II and so on, and pages are designated by Section:Page# in the dialogs. If you want to use absolute page numbering in the dialog instead, you can add a + sign in front of the page number in the dialog: +6-+12 will be the sixth though twelf pages in your document, even if they are in different sections and carry the numbers vi - 4, for example.
