Adobe Reader, in particlar, has (somewhat) recently been updated to Adobe Reader DC -- this has created problems for people who have not updated the program on their computers and continue to use the old Adobe Reader format. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Printer Software In general, the printer depends on the printer software -- that is the Full Feature Software -- having been installed onto the computer, and that software running properly. Install Full Feature Software – Printer --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Print Preview In turn, the printer software makes use of Print Preview to allow the user to not only "preview" a print job, but also adjust the printing preferences and page setup. Print Preview is available from most Browsers (File > Print > Print Preview), from PDF Readers (Adobe Reader, Foxit), and from document editors (Word, WordPad). Manage Print Output with Print Preview Example:See Section titled: Adobe Reader DC Are the tables created within the document?If they are "added", remember that "cut and paste" does not work well in Word -- Use Insert instead. If the printer is low on black ink, some table lines that are "thin" may not show up at all because the line weight is not sufficient. This might be at least true for tables with "Excel looking formats" -- assuming I am imaging what you are describing. (Not likely, but there we are.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------General Comments Sucess generally depends on the ability of the printer to be able to translate the information in the browser web page / PDF file / document into something the printer can read and then dump onto paper with fonts that are the right size and in a format that matches the job requirement. Web developers -- the people who write web pages -- might not always follow the rules of good conduct: web developers might use fancy fonts that no one else has ever heard of, they might use dancing, twirly graphics that cause havoc when the job is handed off to the print software, and sometimes, they might break the page into pieces that do not print as even sized blocks on paper. When you print a web page, it is not always straight forward -- the printer sofware has a set of rules it can follow to translate the information it receives -- if the information falls outside those boundaries, something other than what you expect might be printed on that piece of paper.

My unusual (?) printer issue -- Prints only partial lines when printing in black (part 2)

I have been using my HP Officejet J4680 with my Win7 PC for several years and relatively problem-free -- until about six months ago.
My printing issue might be rather odd. So odd, in fact, I’m not sure how to succinctly describe it. I’m not too techie, but I will try….
This printer will print some lines correctly, other lines print only partially, and some lines don’t print at all.
This oddity happens ONLY when I print in black. When changing the color of the text to any other color other than black the page does print correctly.
Further, this issue seems to occur ONLY when printing certain things/files/formats. For example, material from most websites will print correctly. As will most .PDF files. Printing files such as .txt, .doc, .wps, etc., seem to be the most problematic.
Fixes I have tried include:
Uninstalled and reinstalled printer
Run HP’s diagnostic tools (including checking for any driver updates)
Installed several new black ink cartridges
Cleaned and re-aligned printer head
Lastly, the “copy” feature continues to produce good results. These problematic symptoms seem to occur only while using the “print” function.
Short of relegating this printer to the trash, I’ve tried everything I can think of. Help/ideas/suggestions appreciated.

Printing only partial photos

I'm working on an iBook G4 and printing to a HP all-in-one 6100 series printer. I am sending a photo 4x6 size, two to a page to the printer. Sometimes it prints fine, then other times it only prints a sliver of the picture and then the printer seems to freeze. Any fix for this? I'm wasting lots of photo paper! Thanks in advance!

@Druffer, Welcome to the Forums!
If you were to save the attachment to your computer, you should have more options within your settings to print only the pages you need, opposed to the entire document that you may not fully need. You should see these options in programs such as Microsoft Word.
I hope this helps, if you need any further assistance, please let me know!

Printer will print only partial page

I have a HP all in one printer C6250. Sometimes but not always it will print only a partial part of a page or just select information. For instance, I tried to print out a request form for an absentee ballot and it printed only the bottom part of the page. All the print on the page was the same.
The day before, I printed out some concert tickets and airline tickets (in color) and they printed fine.
Last week, I tried to print a rebate form and only parts of the form printed (mainly the top part).
I have the latest drivers as I ran a test and all ink cartridges are full. I have to admit that I don't have all HP cartridges but the black one is an original one.
I also ran a print test page today and only the header printed with some partial character marks under.
I have windows vista operating system.

My HP C6380 printer only prints a partial page in Excel or Publisher. All others print fine. K

Prints only one document before needing reset

I have a Samsung ML-1710 connected to my TC by USB. The TC is a member of my wireless network and has WSD remote enabled. After I power on the TC I am able to wirelessly print one document regardless of its size. The second document goes to the printer without any errors but it is never printed. Restarting the printer or computer does not help. But if I power cycle the TC, and resend the document I get one more document. Any ideas? Thanks

The Bluetooth work around as worked for most customers and does not for some. This is for both Vista 64 and Windows 7 64. With your case it sounds like the Bluetooth partnership needs to be renewed. To do that delete both partnerships from the device and then re-add them.

Prints only partial page

My C4635 only prints what it wants to. Previously I used a C3180, but pop-ups were irritating so I went to the Control Panel and tried to delete it. Since then it says "deleting-offline" and has for several weeks. I assume I need to get rid of the C3180. If so, how do I do it? Norm

Phillip -- that did seem to work. Thanks!
One thing of note, after sleuthing it out a bit more, I realized that this happened after I was prompted by Apple's Software update to update the driver to version 1.1.1 (I think that was the number). that update seems to have broken Acrobat, so returning to the one on the Adobe site restores the functionality.
Perhaps this will be an alert to others not to install the Apple driver when prompted, though it's easy to let that slip by.

MS Word prints only blank document

I rarely use MS Word anymore. I use Mellel - except Word (10) does such an easier job with tables.
I created a two-page table.
It prints out blank. I tried 3X, it would not print to pdf even.

Good luck and regards.

Printing partial document

Thanks for the response. I am trying to print from Word, to the PDF printer. The OS is Windows 7 Professional. x32)

How can I print ONLY the active document?

Whenever I go to File/Print the darn PSE 9 program sends all of the working files in the bin to the printer. I've searched online for 2 hours now looking for an answer.
I like to work with having several to many files in the 'bin' and prefer to only print the active file I'm currently working on without having to close the 'working files' before I can print. How can I print ONLY the active document or file in the project bin? Please help, I've upgraded from PSE 3 to PSE 9 and really like the updated features, but this one pain in the neck default is getting the best of me.

Thanks for your help, that works nicely. It is good to have control of the printer again.

How do I print only the first page of multiple PDF documents?

I have about 1,500 PDF files (scientific papers) that I need to print only the first page of... Any suggestions on how to do this as a single job or as a few jobs? The files are organized in a bunch of different folders, so if there was some way to do this folder by folder, that would be ok too. Thanks!

Make sure that in System Preferences Printing & Fax pane you set the default printer to the one you want to use, then put all of these PDF files into their own folder, then open terminal and type the following (without hitting return afterward):
lpr -o page-ranges="1-1"
Then drag one of the PDF files into the terminal window (it will add it's path to the end of your command) and replace the file name with *.pdf, so it will look like this:
lpr -o page-ranges="1-1" /Users/todd/Documents/My\ Folder/*.pdf
Then hit return.

How can I print in black/white only a document that has colors in the original?

How can I print in black/white only a document that has colors in its original. I don't need the print out to be in color, and I don't want to waste the color ink.

It depends on your printer and the application you are using.
In some applications you can choose color vs. greyscale/black&white when you do File > Print. PowerPoint is one example of an application that allows this choice.
Otherwise, you can usually select greyscale at the time you print the document. Do File > Print. In the resulting dialog box, there should be an item called Copies & Pages (in Word and other applications) or Preview (in Preview). Click it. In the resulting list, you should then see an option called Printer Features. Click it. Then you should see an option called Printout Mode. Usually one of the modes is Greyscale or Black & White. Select it. Then Print.
This can also depend on your printer. Exactly what make/model printer are you using? And what kind of document are you trying to print (Word, PPT, JPEG, etc)?

Printer will only print the first document then will do nothing.

I am running a dell system with windows 7 pro 64 bit.
I just got an HP LaserJet Pro 400 m401n printer.
I downloaded the most current drivers for windows and updated the printer from the HP website.
The printer will let me print the first document after the computer is restarted. Sometimes I can print a second document if I print it back to back with little to no time between printing the first document. If more than a few minutes passes and I try to
print again the program im using to print enters a "not responding" state and goes into recovery mode. This happens with notepad, excel, word, or even printing directly from the internet.
I can open the printer properties and see the document just sitting with "spooling" out beside it. I assumed it was a printer spooling problem and tried going to the Services.msc and checking the printer spooler. Ive started it and stopped it several
times. Ive also gone into %WINDIR%\system32\spool\printers and deleted all files in this folder. This does not help. It still gets hung at spooling.
Next I just went to printer property and turned the spooling off completely, by having it send the document directly to the printer. Again the exact same problem but instead of getting hung in "spooling" it now just hangs "printing".
I have also gone to the printer properties on the ports tab to see if disabling the bidirectional support was enabled as per a google search result showing a potential solution. But im connecting the printer directly to the computer via a usb port so that
option is not even available.
The only thing that allows me to print again is doing a restart on my computer, then again I can only print the first document sent. Restarting the printer itself does nothing.

Hi James,
Did this printer work correctly before ?
To verify whether it is related to the printer ,please plug it in another machine to have a check if it is possible.
Considering it is a USB device ,plug in with another port to have a check or try to update the USB controller driver or reinstall the USB controller driver to have a check.
Please check whether the Event Viewer contains errors or warnings related to this issue .
I found a similar symptom in the HP forum ,the solution in it may be helpful:

Instead of printing it, try saving it as a pdf from the print menu, and then printing the pdf out.
