Print a compact address book?

When i go to print my address book, i want it in a compact form, and when i go to print, and select the address, it suddenly gets wide, and it takes up a lot more paper.
Is there any way to make it more compact (two columns of names & addresses) while having the following selected?:
Company Name
Phone
Mobile
Email
Contact Name
Address
Notes

Yes: looks like the font/size can't be changed in Lion either (despite having a button to do so).
The Lists style might have to be your stop-gap until Apple fix this. Please join me in reporting this fault here:

Perhaps Apple is trying to get you to buy an iPod touch as an address book!

How do I print envelopes using Address Book?

I am having trouble getting envelopes to print properly from Address Book in Lion. I have specified size #10 envelpes. When I print them, the text printed on successive envelopes moves further and further down the page until the address drops off of one envelop and is then printed at the top of the next envelope. If I print to PDF, I see the same behavior. I have an HP OfficeJet 7600 printer.
Also, when I switched to size #9 envelopes without making any other changes, the envelopes were printed as though I had switched from portrait to landscape.
Can anyone tell me how to fix these problems? I am so disappointed because what looked like a really quick and easy way to print envelopes has now taken hours and I only have 3 remotely satisfactory envelopes printed and no hope of getting more other then to do them one by one.

I have a similar problem too. I might be mistaken, but I think it creeped in when I "upgraded" to Lion and the foobarred the addressbook and who knows what else. It used to work just fine.
I have had luck printing envelopes with the Ambrosia widget. Very nice and free, Give it a try.

How do you print off your address book?

I need to print off my address book, how do I do it?

Firefox doesn't do email and doesn't have an "address book", it's strictly a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.

Printing labels from Address Book

Hi there,
I have tried to print labels from Address Book using the provided template within the application.
The probem however, is that if I want to print a number of labels, say for myself, I can not seem to specify how may labels to print with a selected address.
As well, if I print one label from the application, I do not see a way to tell the printer or the application to use the next field of the label sheets.
Am I missing something completly obvious or is it an oversight in the Application?
Thanks in advance

Jim,
I think I understand your question. Hopefully this will help you with at least one of your problems. In order to print out address labels for just your name and address, you'll have to duplicate your personal address card several times. I duplicated mine 29 more times so that I could print out 30 sticky labels. Here's what I'd suggest:
1. Create a new group in the far left side of your Address Book window by clicking once on the "+" button found at the bottom of the Group column, and then title your new group something like "My Return Labels."
2. Locate your main personal card in the "All" group, and then slide it (or add it) to your newly created group.
3. Highlight your card from within your new "My Return Labels" group, copy and paste it about 29 times.
4. Once done, make sure you have just your "My Return Labels" group highlighted, then go to your Print command.
5. Choose the proper label style, and print away.
Good luck, Grampa Doodie.

"Error while printing" error in Address Book

When I attempt to print a list of address book contacts in Address Book.app (both as a PDF or to a printer), I receive an error message simply stating "Error while printing." I've repaired my permissions and tried deleting the preferences for Address Book. How can I fix this and print out the list?

After discovering that my problem was more general (affecting the whole system, and not just Address Book), I looked in the Printer forum here in the discussions and referred to this one:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1264657&#1264657
I attempted to do as one user suggested and replace the 'libConverter.dylib' file. It did not work, and I returned the original 'libConverter.dylib' file to its folder. Magically, printing works now. Seems like it just needed to reset itself.

Change labels in print menu from address book

I am trying to print invitation labels from my address book for a personal party. I would like to change the labels in the print menu to add "and guest" or "and family". I called Mac support but they couldn't help me. Does anyone know how to manipulate the the guest names in the print menu to make it "party friendly" versus "business version"? Thanks!

Welcome to the Discussions Jenp13,
NO, you can't edit any data in the print menu in OSX. There are several programs that you can use that will interface with or accept data from Address Book. From searching sites like Apple's Made4Mac page or checking out macupdate you can find many.
PearLabelizer is free and Mail Factory and HomePrint Labels are other options that I came across. Most are able to d/l and try for free before purchase, so check out a few and make sure it fits your need before buying.

Printing envelopes from address book

I want to send out letters to family so I want to print envelopes out of my address book except the name comes up as the contact (first and last name) and then the spouse and all the children after the last name. Is there any way to change the display name on the envelope?

I'm not sure if there's a way to change that within address book, but you could always use the free EasyEnvelopes dashboard widget to customize the text of an envelope.

How to clear image in sender label to print envelopes from Address Book

Hello!
I had been printing envelopes for greeting cards using Address Book. I had always ignored the "Image" option under "Label" for the +sender's information+. Today I decided to explore this option and clicked on "Set". Then I chose a picture from my "Pictures" folder. It looks nice and I was able to change the picture several times, but now _I do not want any "image" in the sender's label_.
*How do reset the "Image" to none?*
Thank you in advance for your assistance!
Osk Asks

Hello captfred! Thank you for your reply. I tried to do what you suggested but it seems that it only works for cards in my contacts or for my own card. My problem is within the settings under label when I am printing from Address Book.
This is how I have been doing it:
1) Select a contact or a group of contacts
2) Click on File on the top of the screen and then select Print
3) A window pops up and there I can choose whether I want to print an envelope, a list, or mailing labels
4) In that same window is where I clicked on "Image" and "Set"
5) Finally I click on "Print" on the bottom right corner and I get neat envelopes with my address (sender) and the recipients (my contacts)
I hope this helps you to help me!
Thanks in advance!

New iMac with OS x Lion. Printing envelopes w/ Address book makes a second blank envelope. Drivers up to date. Have to mark print only first page. Had no problem with Snow Leopard. How to correct.

I recently purchased a new iMac with OS x Lion. Previously was using a four year old iMac with snow Leopard. I have three HP printers with up to date drivers for Lion. When I try to print an envelope from Address Book I have two problems:
1) I have to change the orientation to vertical to get the proper margins, which I never had to do before and
2) It prints a second blank envelope unless I tell it to only print the first page.
Neither of the problems occurred with my previous iMac/w Snow Leopard and it appears to be a Lion/HP software incompatibility. I have worked with a Apple supervisor (Case # 316225300) for hours and finally reinstalled the operating system to no avail.
I do I correct both problems???

Contact HP and ask them to write better drivers for Lion. Find a printer that is more compatible with Lion. I've not printed envelopes with Lion before, though I've had no difficulty with either Epson Artisan 810 or Canon MX700 for regular printing. Sometimes open source drivers also work better than manufacturer drivers. See this FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/printersx.html
While many open source drivers won't give you duplex or printer diagnostics, at least they may work better for other features.
Lastly, I've often found for a more consistent print, saving as PDF, and then printing from Preview can sometimes be the best work around. Someone in the Mac OS X Technologies forum might be able to help you write an automator script to do this in one fell swoop, if you find it works better for your needs.

Printing envelopes from address book always has a second page

When I print an address onto an envelope from address book, it always has a second page without any text on it even though I only want to print the address. So I have to select print 1 of 1 from my print options. Is there a way to eliminate this phantom second page?

Without actually seeing the screens you open on your system to set this up and print, it's hard to offer any ideas for a fix, since I cannot reproduce it on my system. Can you post links to screen shots here of these different windows from your system?
And are you running 10.5.3, or have you updated to 10.5.4 yet?

Can't Select Label Print Location With Address Book 3.1.2

When printing a single address from Address book 3.1.2 on a sheet of mailing labels such as an Avery 5163, the print dialog box puts the address in the upper left hand position and YOU CANT CHANGE THIS. If you've already used several labels from this sheet, you need a way to change the address print position and THERE'S NO WAY TO DO THIS. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS! My old TouchBase program FROM 1992 allows this easily and will print a return address on the same label as well! Jeez, who's designing these things??????
Does anybody know of some third party developer who has figured out a way to fix this?

I have used "Imprint" to solve this and other problems with printing labels and envelopes from Address Book.

Print Labels in Address Book - 'portrait/landscape' option?

I need to print labels "sideways" due to custom label loading in my printer.
I have tried setting up a custom label layout in Address Book. However, it consistently prints the labels such that the text is horizontal to the printer feed. I need it to print the text vertical to the printer feed, basically rotated 90º.
If I wanted to rotate text printed from Pages or Word I would switch from portrait to landscape or vice-versa. Is there no way to do this in Address Book? Am I overlooking one of the custom settings? Thank you!

Great news so far, thanks!
A possible workaround for adding text...
http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20101114194220498
To add a pic/logo to the left side of each label, click on the Label tab, look for image and set..., it will resize it to fit automatcally...
