Phaser 3250DN drops off network after printing one or two pages

I have a Phaser 3250DN printer that has started dropping off the network after switched on and printing one or two pages. If I power cycle the printer, it comes back online, but then drops off the network again almost immediately so I can't print any more pages. The printer fails to respond to pings while in this state. The printer is 4 years old but has had >extremely< light usage. We've printed about one thousand pages total and is only turned on when we want to print something so most of the time it's physically powered off.

Network drop-offs can occur for a variety of reasons and be triggered by a variety of causes. You may want to make sure you are using the latest software release on the product, as well as check the network firewall configuration settings. In addition, sometimes disabling unused networking protocols can reduce traffic the device is exposed to and ease the burden if traffic volume is what is shutting down the NIC.
Another thing to consider would be the network topography itself; make sure the device is on a subnet exposed to minimal broadcast/multicast traffic.
Finally, you can verify the device itself is physically functional by testing it with a laptop and crossover cable. If the drop-off behavior occurs while connected directly to another single computer, it may be indicative of an issue with the main board or hard drive.

I hope this helps.
Have a great day.

Time Capsule dropping off network after only a few minutes?

Right, I've had a good look through the forums and found a few similar issues to mine but none that are exactly the same or provide any answers, so I'll give it a go and see if anyone has a clue what is going on because I'm stumped.
I've got a new TimeCapsule which is connecting to my home network (through a belkin router), and for the first few days it worked fine. But ever since it's been acting up. To start with it kept dropping from the network and not showing up in either Airport Utility or Finder. Initially simply restarting it worked, but the dropping started getting progressively worse. I tried renaming the machine with a shorter title and no spaces, but the problem continued. Eventually it got to the point where the machine would just hang when switched on with either a solid green or solid amber light - no audible startup procedure or anything. Resetting the machine made no difference - sometimes the light would flash amber and sometimes it would do nothing at all, but neither did anything to the actual machine.
I left the machine off for a good few hours and switched it back on and it showed up in my system long enough for me to reset it and reconfigure it. Then as I tried to change the disc name to something short and without spaces it dropped out again and now seems dead as a dodo once more.
I have checked the local wireless networks, and it seems mine is using channel 2, which no one else seems to be. But I can't stay connected to the TC to change it anyway.
Ironically when it is working it's fine and I can access the files and everything. I'd be tempted to take it back tomorrow but I had moved a few files to the HD when it was working that I'd rather not lose forever.
Any ideas?

I got my puzzle here:
Time Capsule (Firmware 7.3.2) dropping internet connections (PPPoE) every 2-3 minutes, then automatically re-connect.
Time Capsule 500G - bought yesterday
ISP stability - 4 years, I've been using
Computers - PC (Vista), MBP (Mac OS X 10.5.6), MBA (Mac OS X 10.5.6) --- but seems not related to this issue. Even shut down the computers, TC still drops; No "Real Player Updater" found though...
I have to get back to my $55 Buffalo and it's running perfectly stable now...

How can I set up a preferred printer so I don't have to pick the printer each and every time I print something out? At the moment, even immediately after printing one thing, it prompts me to pick a printer, which is very time consuming.

No, there is not setting for a default printer.The system scans for available airprint printers each time you print.

I am using Acrobat Reader 11.0.10 . I cant print mixed originals and also I cannot print letter size correctly . printing of first two pages ok but the rest gets cut off at the top

How can I print from MAC with Acrobat Reader. I can't seem to get it to print correctly , first two pages of letter size works ok after the remaining pages get moved up and the printing is cut off.

I arrived here looking for a solution! And while reading your post the penny dropped that I didn't have a serious problem. I have a booklet of 112 pages and all I needed to do was re-order the pages as printed so that 1 is followed by a sheet with 2 on the under-face but same side and so on. The pages had printed back to front and needed flipping. But then I have a duplex printer and maybe that makes a difference. Is it to do with your manual duplexing and the order that the second pass is presented to the printer. As my duplex sheets effectively needed flipping over each one I'm wondering if you can solve your problem with a little experimentation and re-ordering before your second pass.

Is there a way to prevent ibooks author from shutting down after just one or two uses of the alpha tool?

Is there a way to prevent ibooks author from shutting down after just one or two uses of the alpha tool?

Hello One Job at a time,
Deleting the application will not delete your projects.
Normally I keep all my work files on a separate drive.
If you command click on the title name of your project you will get a drop down path to show you the location of your book project.
or you can click on the drop down triangle beside its name to duplicate.
Just remember where you saved the file too.
In your applications folder on your computer select the iBA icon and press delete and also erase / empty the trash can.
You can then go back to the APP STORE and install iBA from new again.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Nigel

OfficeJet 8500A. Single print job prints half on two pages.

I have an OfficeJet 8500A Premium for about a year now. All was working well, until recently.
I'm using Firmware Version: LRP1FN1126AR
Now, when I send a print job that's supposed to be on a single page, it prints half on two pages. This, of course, wastes my ink, paper, time, energy, and sanity. I've searched around and can't find a resolution to this problem.
I posted a picture of the problem I'm experiencing, personal info areas blurred out. The only way to fix this, which is a temporary fix, is to turn the printer on and off. That seems to correct the problem, but only for a short while, since it will eventually start printing single print jobs split on two pages.
Please help. Thanks.

It sounds like the driver for the printer and the driver for the IE9 are having a conflict. I would advise trying to open the same page in a different web browser to see if the problem follows multiple browsers, or only IE9.
Also, I would try reverting back to IE8 as a possible workaround. If none of these are able to get the printouts desired, then I would look at Shane_R's thread on using an alternate driver located here.
Hope this helps.

Saving One or Two pages from a PDF file

How do I save one or two pages from a PDF file that have been emailed to me?

Hi molalla98,
The task that you are trying to perform is not possible via Adobe Reader, You would require Adobe Acrobat to extract the pages from Multi-Page PDF and save it accordingly.

Suppress printing the last two pages

I have created a form that has the last two pages of the form screen only visible. Saved the form and printed it but the last two pages print blank. Is there any way to suppress printing the last two blank pages. If I was the only person using the form I just wouldn't print the last two pages but this is going into a production environment where seeing the last two pages is important but printing the last two pages isn't.
Thanks.

Take a look at the script produced by the "Print Button".
xfa.host.print(1, "0", (xfa.host.numPages -1).toString(), 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);
The doc for print is available at http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/8.2/acrobat_designer/001735.html

HP 2320 network printer keeps dropping off network

I have a small home network, running off a current gen TimeCapsule. I have an HP Colorlaser CM2320 network laser printer connected to a 5-port switch on the network. Randomly, the printer disappears. When selected in a print dialog, the satus is offline. But of course, it's not offline. It's connected and powered on, the switch is connected and powered on. I have powered cycled the printer, the switch, and the TimeCapsule. No success. Later, the printer magically becomes visible again. Later still, is goes away. This is driving me and my family crazy. The most recent problem started a few days ago. I printed several documents with no problem. My wife later in the day tried to print, but nothing. I spent several hours power cycling all the devices, plugging and unplugging ethernet cables, but no success. The next day, all of a sudden it starts printing my wife's document. A few hours pass, and I want to print, but the printer has again disappeared. It has not come back in two days now.
Thanks to anyhone who can help. Rick

Betcha it is Lion on the computer.. I have a network HP laser and it never goes offline with SL.. and TC running good old reliable 7.5.2 firmware.
The printer name and IP must be recognised by the Mac.. did you lock the values on the printer or are you using dhcp?
I recommend for printer lock the IP and name in the printer setup.
If you still have issues see if you can ping the printer.. by IP and by Name.. if it fails please post the details of what actually fails.. For Lion and latest TC firmware Apple have some way to go to fix networking issues.

AirPort Express 802.11N (2nd generation) Drops off Network

I have recently purchased the Airport Express (2nd generation) and wanted to use it for streaming music through Spotify from my Ipad.
After having set it up by Airport Utility 6.3 on my Mac it works for about an hour but then drops of the network.
I am joining my existing network wirelessly.
I have tried to set the IPv6 to Link-local only ( https://discussions.apple.com/message/22237018#22237018 ) and also to Tunnel as advised by an expert from the Apple Chat - but it still drops off after about an hour. Then the only way to get Airport Utility to see the Airport Express again is to hard reset it and start all over again, but it keeps dropping out. I have lost count of the number of times I have rest it by now.
I have now read several posts about people having various issues with the Airport Express and am a bit confused wheter it works at all.
I have updated the Airport Exp to the latest firmwear and also my router as someone suggested but still with no luck.
Hope to hear from anyone who can shed a bit of light on this one.
Many thanks,

Forgot to say that the green light stays on the Airport Express even when it has dropped off the network and one no longer can use it for Airplay through Spotify as well as the yellow trianlge shows up in the Airport Utility and says "device not found".

Pixma MX922 drops off network, what ports need to be opened

Pixma MX922 keeps dropping from my wireless network - no matter what I do to configure. Called Canon support and they were not able to resolve issue (offered to replace printer, prefer not to do this - only as last resort).
I attempted ALL the standard items to resolve (re-install printer, drivers, make static IP (NO DHCP leasing - and my DHCP lease time on router is set to max. time of 2 weeks anyway...), made sure of no firewall issues, etc., etc.) but printer keeps doing this. Can ping the ip, etc., so I know that it exists, but UNLESS I POWER the printer OFF / ON - anything I sent to it will just sit in print queue. Once I power it off / on - all printing is fine - only for a few hours or next day - until it happens again...
Somewhere on this forum another user stated that he resolved the problem by contacting Canon support and they told him specific Ports on his router that had to be opened in order to fix the issue of the printer dropping off wireless network (* he must have had a better tech than the ones I spoke with...).
Does anyone on this forum know the ports that must be open on the router? Possibly one or two higher number ip ports such as 1020, or 25466, etc. ?
Thank you to anyone who may know this and provide.

Podcasting is not streaming on content, only downloading. It is basically a blog with an attachment in the RSS feed. Only port 80 (normal web port) needs to be able to go through the firewall.
