Print Booklet issues: indd adds very unnecessary pages to my document when I try to "print booklet"?

I have no idea why this is happening, but it is driving me batty and makes zero sense and I need
I had a 30+ page document that was correctly booklet printing and added chapter start pages through the doc. I did not renumber or start sections on these when adding them, they are in the same section as most of the pages... Basically the document goes like this:
Front Cover -- Page A (recto)
Blank -- Page B (verso)
TOC -- Page 1 (recto)
etc... etc...
Back Cover -- Page 52 (verso)
Suddenly, for some unknown reason that I have not been able to figure out, indesign has now decided that the front cover/back cover printer spread isn't that any longer. It prints a blank page on the printer spread for the front cover (keeping the cover page recto) and the back cover prints in a printer spread beside page 1. It being a function of the sectioning seems the likely culprit, but that sectioning hasn't changed from when I was printing it without the new added pages. I can't start the book pagination until the TOC (page 1), so it has to remain, as well...
Anybody have any ideas? Is there any way to force indd to not add these unnecessary pages? I have unchecked print blank pages and print blank spreads in all the print dialogues and also tried the opposite.

You need to include blank pages. I've never ever used Print Booklet (my experience is firmly rooted in traditional offset printing so I find ID's booklet option ... "a nice cutesy try") but I imagine Print Blank Spreads may also be necessary. However, it should be very unusual to have entire spreads blank.
From your story it's not really clear how many pages (including cover etc.) you have. If it's not a multiple of 4, InDesign will ALWAYS pad it with blank pages. That is the only way to print as booklet.

HT4356 My new HP printer is listed above as an AirPrinter ... But when I try to print from my iPad I get a message saying that there are No airprinters! Do I need to format/setup something first?!

My new Hewlett Packard printer is listed as an AirPrinter on the Apple website, but when I try to print from my iPad it says that there are No airprinters. The printer is connected to the same WiFi network, is turned on & I'm close to the printer. Do I need to forma/set up the iPad or Printer to enable this feature?!

It would help to post this in a more proper form. This is for the iTunes family of stores.

Please help my printer talk to my computer. An error message always occurs when I try to print and Firefox self-help has not fixed the problem. Please help me directly with fixing the issue. Thank you.

I Have set up my HP air printer to my IPad 4. It keeps losing it. I am trying to print and it says no air printer found. Once I get it set up again and then don't use it for a while it has gone.

Have you tried ....
Rebooting your router? Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in again.
Turn the printer off and then turn it back on again.
Check for a firmware update for the printer.
Reset Network Settings on the iPad. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

MS office 2008 now crashing when we try to print. No changes to computer; same old software. New printer 9 months ago, no trouble printing until last month. Other programs (adobe, mac) print fine. What can I try?

I have an iMac from 2009. It's running OSX 10.6.8 and we've used MS Office 2008 for Mac all along without any trouble. We replaced our printer 8 or 9 months ago, and we've had no trouble printing from any program until the last several weeks. Now, when we try to print ONLY from word or excel, the print window appears, but then the spinning rainbow comes up, followed by a Microsoft crash message: "Microsoft Word has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I tried to trick it into making a PDF, but the crash comes too fast. The only change to our entire Mac ecosystem is the following: We also have a Macbook Pro that has the 2nd allowed installation of the same MS Office 2008 for Mac. Due to liquid damage 6 weeks ago, that computer was replaced and all of the data and applications were moved from the dead one to the new one. Could this possibly be because microsoft detects a "third" computer "using" its software? I'm guessing no because I've seen several threads about problems similar to mine, and none mention licensing issues. In terms of troubleshooting, I've shut down, unplugged, restarted and tried newly created docs as well as old ones. Same results, no matter what.

When i try to print a perfect bound for my 66-paged document it keeps creating two new blank pages

When i try to print a perfect bound for my 66-paged document it keeps creating two new blank pages, how do i remove that 2 blank pages?

That is essentially a 2 up format as shown.
2 pages duplex will equate to 4 pages per sheet.
Your document needs to be divisable by 4. Add two blank pages at the end of your document.
Toggle "Print Blank Pages" from the Print Settings
Remove the blanks after creating the booklet.

I have Firefox 20.0.1 on my laptop which has Windows 7. When I try to print a range of "Selection on my Canon Pixma MG5320 from an internet page it will not do

I cannot print a selected "Selection" from an Internet page. I don't always want to print "All" of a page or pages.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

When I try to print online with my HP2270DW printer it only allows me to save a page

When I am on the internet and I try to print something the only options that come up are Save and Close. My HP2270DW printer is my default printer. I did not set it as XPS or PDS. Is there anything I need to change in the settings of my printer to make sure that it prints pages from the Internet?

Hi @bwlosey,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that when you try to print online, your printer is only allowing you to save. I am happy to help!
When I search for your printer, I am coming up with a Brother HL-2270DW, not an HP printer. Is this the type of printer you have? If so, I would recommend contacting Brother Support.
Otherwise, if you do have an HP printer, please reply with the printer's Product/Model Number. To find your printer's Product/Model Number follow instructions in this link. Finding Your HP Product Model Number.
Thank you for posting, and hope to hear from you soon!

My iMac is connected to a Brother printer. I have Snow Leopard 10.7.3 As of yesterday, when I try to print a PDF it prints as a blank black page. Does anyone know how to correct this so that the PDF will print as I see it on screen?

If you are running Mac OS X 10.7.3 then you have Lion installed, not Snow Leopard. It's probably not important to this discussion, but something you should be aware of.
What application are you printing the PDF files from? Have you tried opening the PDF file using the Preview application that can be found in the Applications folder? Does the issue still occur? Have you tried other PDF files from a different source?
Another poster in the following discussion thread reported that this method resolved their black blank PDF issue when viewing (and presumably printing) PDF files from Safari.

This solved my question by mcbuffy on Apr 20, 2012 11:29 AM
There's a solution if you want to see the PDF inside Safari's window :
Go to the folder : Your Hard Drive / Library / Internet Plug-ins.
If you see a file with PDF in its name drag it to the trash.
Quit and restart Safari to test with a PDF.
If it works you can empty the trash.

When I try to print from web page I get "printer not activated - error code 30", printer works on Internet Explorer

When I try to print from web page I get a dialogue box "Printer not activated - error code 30" followed by a dialogue box "An unknown error occurred while printing". The printer works on websites when I use Internet Explorer. Also, if I copy the web page and paste it into a Word document, I can print a copy. This issue just started this week; I have not encountered this problem prior to this week. Please advise.

What does that error message say?

Message- Print No pages from the document were selected to be printed

I have had this application for some time, simply never used it. Last night I tried converting a PDF file to word, unsuccessfully, I might add.
Today, whilst printing a page, my printing settings appear to have been reset because when I selected Print selected page, the following message appeared:
Print
No pages from the document were selected to be printed message
How do I reconfigure my settings to preview rather than defaulting to PDF? Kindly advise. Cheers.

I have only been able to print by exporting from iphoto. I have a new HP printer and there is software that supports photo printing ("HP photo smart") and I have been able to do it this way. On some occasions I have been able to use the iphoto>print>then preview before actually printing. There is a print option on the preview pane and that has worked on occasion...unsure why it doesn't work always. Please pass on any other hints, or let me know if this works for you!!

Hi,
I would suggest you to uninstall Adobe Reader using the cleaner tool and then re-install the latest version.
Adobe Cleaner Tool:- Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs.
Latest version of Adobe Reader:- http://get.adobe.com/reader/
If you still experience the same issue, please share the following information:-
- Screenshot of Adobe Reader showing printer options
- Screenshot of Microsoft Word showing printer options

Why would Framemaker add an extra page to my document ?

Hi everyone,
I have a mif file here that is used to generate a ONE PAGE pdf and for a reason that I don't know, when I open this .MIF file in FRAMEMAKER, there is a second page using default masterpage that is automatically added by FrameMaker.
The .Mif file itself only specifies one BodyPage statement so I really don't know why FrameMaker adds an other page to the document.
So the question is : Why whould FrameMaker add a supplementary page to a document by itself ?
thanks for any information.
Alex

Thanks for the quick answer Van. I had a look to my document and it seems that the pagination is OK, I also thought that maybe I had some "TextRect" that took a little bit to much space but they seem OK too.
Now I'm trying to track every "TextFlow" to see if one of them is printing outside of my "TextRect" at the bottom of the page, that may cause FrameMaker to add a new page I guess.
Thanks again

"no pages selected from document" when printing

When I try to print a picture I have selected, it says I have not selected it. Why? I know I am selecting it. It also says it is too big for the paper size which is a 4x6.

Stephen:
Regarding the "too big" for paper size issue, you first need to crop it to 4x6 beforehand and then in Page Setup make sure you've got 4x6 borderless selected in the Size menu and the correct orientation, landscape or portrait, selected. Then in the iPhoto print window select Standard Prints-4x6 and 1 photo per page. Also you should have selected your particular printer in both the Page Setup and iPhoto print windows.
I don't know why iPhoto would not recognize the fact that you've clicked on and selected a photo. Try doing a Revert to Original and then re-crop the photo and then see if the selection is recognized.

Pages shuts down when I try to print since i upgraded to Mavericks

I upgraded last week, now when I try to print out of Pages, Keynote, Safari, the programs shut down. I'm printing over a network to a Konica Bizhub C203. All other programs print no problem, its only the 3 mac ones that will not print. Anyone else having this issue? Any known fixes?

There are several bizhub threads here. See the "More Like This" sidebar to the right.
