Plain Paper Best Chops the Top

Hello All,
Within the last month, when I print in Plain Paper Best, the document begins to print immediately at the top. This is especially frustrating when trying to print business cards. The cards print fine when using Plain Paper, Fast Draft or Plain Paper, Fast Draft, Black and White. What happened and what can I do ? Thank you

The printer will put droplets of ink on the page based on what it detects the media is (for printers with "Automatic" as a paper type) or the specified media in the driver.
If you select plain paper, draft and print on photo paper it would use the same amount of ink as if you put in plain paper. The results are likely to be very very poor if you do that, for several reasons:
The pigmented black ink is not compatible with photo paper, it will not dry properly. When photo media is selected the printer will not use the pigmentd black ink even to print text, it will mix color to make black.
It takes much more ink to give proper photo settings on photo paper as compared to plain paper. Using plain paper draft settings is likely to result in an unusable photo paper page, ruining a $1 sheet of photo paper to save a $0.20 worth of ink - not a good tradeoff.
If you plan to print a lot of photo's you might consider a printer that uses the HP Ink advantage subscription service. This service is based on pages printed, and they count photo pages the same as plain paper, even though a full page photo may use 10x or more the ink of a plain paper text page.

Whenever I reply to an e-mail the window comes up but without the paper airplane in the top left corner. The only way to send the reply is to close it and save as a draft. Then I can pull it up from Drafts and it has the airplane on it.

Ix7000 plain paper settings through the rear tray

Hi, I wish to print through the rear tray of the ix7000 printer using the same settings as the plain paper settings (which can only be used through front and manual trays).
I'm printing on 160gsm gloss, which prints beautifully using the media type - plain paper - and shockingly using all the other media types. I want to print on paper of a size that the rear tray accepts (custom and large) but using the plain paper settings which print the image well.
It's frustrating in that I know the printer can print the images perfectly on this paper, but it won't (for some unfathomable reason) let me use plain paper through the rear tray where the size of sheet (550mm x 250mm) will fit. Anyone got any ideas? It will even let me print an envelope at 550mm x 250mm through the rear tray! but not plain paper. I almost need a way to shift the plain paper settings (somewhere in the driver) over to them applying to the envelope selection - that could be a way to trick it in to doing what I want it too. I can't think of any others.
thanks
Brett

nope, after talking to a couple of canon technicians, and spending a fair bit of time on it I've come to the conclusion it can't be done - there really needs to be a manual over-ride to let the user make the final choice for such things.

How can I print from my ipad to the plain paper tray not the photo tray?

I have a new
HP Photosmart Plus All-in-One Printer - B209a
and an ipad on my showroom floor.
I let my customers use the ipad to browse through photos of items that are not on display, then print some of the photos. Right now the print job always goes to the photo tray - but I want it to print on plain letter size paper. If there is no photo paper in the tray, the print job fails with an out of paper error.
Is there a way to get this printer to print photos from the ipad photos app onto the standard paper tray?
Thanks in advance for any insight you can give me.
Richard

Photos will always print from the photo tray, if the printer has one. This cannot be configured by the user currently.

What uses less ink, plain paper fast draft, or photo paper best.

What uses less ink, plain paper fast draft, or photo paper best. I'm not looking for quality, just less ink used. I also used photo paper, then selected plain paper fast draft. Not great quality, as expected, but still looking to use less ink. My guess is the plain paper uses more, because it is more porous. My printer is an hp Deskjet 2050. My operating system is, 64-bit Intel Core I-7-2670 QM.
Thank You for any assistance

Please change the view in the top sites, the 6.1 upgrade has reverted back to a plane two dimensional view, which is a little plain. Can I revert back to an older version via my time capsule save?

Please change the view in the top sites, the 6.1 upgrade has reverted back to a plain two-dimensional view, which is a little dated. Can I revert back to an older version via my time capsule save? C'mon Apple upgrades supposed to leap into the future not the past. :-(

TS3989 Photos are ok in aperture and iphoto but in photostream on ipad and iphone the top of all portrait photos is chopped off. I tried switching photostream off and on but got the same. Only happened with photos added today, all past photos are fine

I have never had any problems before but all portrait photos added today have the top chopped off. For example , people's heads are missing or roofs or buildings are chopped off. Photos are fine on the camera and on my mac in iphoto and aperture. Switched off photostream on my ipad...all photos were deleted. Switched photostream back on and all photos uploaded again and portrait photos are cropped again

It sounds like while trying to import the photos with insufficient disk space those image files were damaged and not copied fully. Now that you have sufficient space (a minimum of 10 GB is recommended) the latest imports are good.
What do you get if you export one of the problem photos out of iPhoto as Kind=Original and try to open it with Preview. If it appears the same then there's nothing you can to do recover them.

My Office for Mac 2008 disk has a scratch in the paper on the top. When I load it in my MacBook Pro the drive makes a low pitched beep? Can I repair the surface ( the bottom is fine and it is not cracked). Are there any other options.

I have a 2009 MacBook Pro which has been working fine. Had to reformat HD and reload software. Am using Mountain Lion which MS said supports Office Mac 2008. When loading it the drive ran then began making a low frequency beep, then ejected the disk. Upon inspection I see a scratch in the paper on the top of the disk, but there is no crack and the bottom surface is clean without scratches.
I assume this problem is from this damage. If so what can I do to repair it so it will work in the drive.
If not what else would cause this problem. Thanks for you help. Emom6

DVD drives read the bottom of the disk, not the top. Smooth out the paper & try again.

When I Share my project using QuickTime the top of my video is chopped off, how do i fix this?

when I Share my project using QuickTime the top of my video is chopped off, how do i fix this?

What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system is it running?
- Mac OSX; Premier Elements 11 v11
Where is the audio in the project - numbered audio tracks, Narration Track, and/or Soundtrack? Any chance that you are using a XviD.avi file?
- audio is either in the soundtrack , or in audio 2 when part of a video
Besides the full properties of your source file including file extension, what are the full export settings that you are using presumably for Publish+Share/Computer/MPEG?
- i was just using the default for MPEG, which is the NTSC DVD standard, file type MPEG2-DVD
What player are you using? Does the file playback video and audio using the VLC player? Does the problem exist in a new project?
- i have tried in quicktime and VLC, both have the same effect (picture works, staccato background noise). I have not tried in another file, but will do so now.

Pls Suggest u r Veiws on above Req's..
Thank You.,
Mahesh Narkuda

Hi Mahesh,
Using the Portal Activity Report (PAR) will allow you to collect the following data: visited pages and iviews and who visited those pages and iviews.
the data will be collected and flushed to your Database.
The PAR has it's out of the box reports that you can use for your needs.
If you decided to use the Activity Data Collector (ADC) the data will be collected and saved to text based files on your operating system.
The ADC doesn't have an out of the box report system but it is able to collect more types of data and it is more configurable.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards,
Saar Dagan

What is the paper feed on the second from top on the laser jet pro mfp127fw?

Hello I want to know this and thanks

Hi @Ozzy95 ,
I see by your post that you would like to know what the paper feed on the second from top is used for. I can help you.
You would load the document in the ADF tray at the top, then it feeds through what ever is being scanned, faxed or copied and comes out underneath it.
Hope this helps.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

The background setting at the top of my Firefox page is too busy (beach scen) to read the tabs. How can I get just a simple plain background instead of the tropical beach scene?

A cannot read all the tabs because the tropical beach scene background at the top of my firefox screne is too busy with dark objects like palm tree trunks. How can I change the screen background so I can read my tabs more easily?

You can revert to the Default theme (Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Using themes with Firefox]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Themes (Lightweight theme)

Looking for thoughts on the best way to repeat the header row at the top of the exported file.

I have a request to create an extract and they need the header row to be written twice at the top of the file.
I thought maybe a for each loop with a script that reset the increment variable one time before looping through the rest of the dataset, I am curious to hear what other options there are.
Thanks,
P

If it is the same record twice then make it a variable and append twice before the details as per this blog post:

Photosmart 7520 print photo from iphone to plain paper

I have a photosmart 7520 and I would like to print picture from iphone and bypass photo cartridge and print on standard paper. Thanks

Hi,
I'm not sure that you'll be able to bypass the photo cartridge as the plain papaer print will use the same colours.
In order to get the printer to use plain paper instead of photo paper the best approach would be to use the HP e-Print app as the inbuilt Airprint has limited paper size/source options.
I've included a link on how to setup e-Print here: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-topics/mobile-printing/how-to-print-mobile-devices-ipad-iphone.html...

Looking for a todo app that puts new todos at the top of the list

I've been using Appigo's ToDo for several years now. It's elegant, fast, intuitive, and feature packed. One of the best things it has is the ability to drag todos around manually and their due dates change.
There is one thing, however, that I wish it did. I would like the new todos to appear at the top of the todo list instead of the bottom, so I do not have to scroll through a long list to check if anything new has shown up.
Are there any todo apps that do things this way?

Maybe Clear can do that for you?
Clear by Realmac Software
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/clear/id493136154?mt=8
Personally I use Due (http://www.dueapp.com/) every day. But that is a reminder, more then a todo app.
