Print preview window not showing page to be printed

My wife and I just downloaded Firefox to our new Macbook Airs with Lion. The small preview box in the print layout widow does not show the page being previewed. In addition, the selected print windows are not holding from print session to print session.
I love Firefox on my old Mac, so please help us resolve this problem.

Sean, I was importing directly from the camera to Lightroom. I might add that I have been using this same procedure for a couple of years now and only within the past few weeks have the problems come up and if I made some change somewhere along the line I certainly have no idea what the change was. As I have mentioned before in some of this forums communications, when I imported directly from a card reader outside of the camera, everything was just as it should be and yet up to a couple of weeks ago, I could import directly either from the camera or a reader card with the same perfect results. (This is from my Canon XTi as I do not have a card reader yet for the G10) I would assume a card reader will work as well for the G10 and so I have ordered one and hopefully this will be a rather simple solution to the problem. As John had indicated in one of his messages he occasionally liked to import directly from the camera and I echo that as I do also.

Canon MP210 just will not show up in Add Printer

Trying to help a friend get new (to her) printer added in OS 10.5.8... There isn't even a network involved, just trying to add it as simple USB.
It's a Canon Pixma MP210 and wasn't in the printer descrips, so i downloaded and installed the most recent driver for it from Canon, which is noted as good for 10.5 etc (and is CUPs to boot).
its Installer runs just fine... but printer still does not show up in Add Printer, despite restarts, printer attached, not attached, whatever. printer is not in list, "Print Using..." shows no options, and "Add" is greyed out.
The printer itself was never used by its former owner, it's like new, so it's not likely broken.
i attempted to repair permissions, and ran into no-go there too. It sticks on acquiring the database, doesn't even get to a progress bar (let it run for almost an hour, no change). Same thing when i start it up/run repair permissions from retail OS 10.5 DVD.
And this on a smallish (60GB) hard drive that has barely anything on it ....she mostly just websurfs and emails. Tho the finder is a bit slow, there doesn't appear to be anything wrong with the mac (it's an iBook G4) and it passes disk first aid fine.
Suggestions?

Any idea why Permissions Repair doesn't progress, neither from hard disk nor from DVD? From other posts i've researched here, repaired permissions apparently allowed some canon printers to show themselves.
If Repair Permissions is not completing then something would be amiss with the OS. But I've never a repair permissions resolve a printer not appearing in the Default browser view. It could certainly fix an issue with the printer being seen but the driver not being found. But for the printer not to be visible in the Default view when it is connected to the Mac via USB, then I don't believe a permissions repair will resolve this - especially also if the printer is not visible in System Profiler. Personally I found a reset of the printing system rather than a repair disk permissions to be more helpful.

Adobe Flash 11.9.900.152: objects not showing in print preview and not printing

When I select print from Adobe Flash 11.9.900.152, objects are not showing in print preview and not printing on the printer. I have tried to print from both MS Internet Explorer and Google Chrome--neither work.
I am using:
Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pak 1
Internet Explorer 10.0.9200.16618
or
Google Chrome 31.0.1650.57 m
How do I resolve this issue?

What is it you're trying to print?

Since latest upgrade I cannot "print" or show "print preview" from any web page. This is true of both of my printers and I have followed directions on plug-ins and have reinstalled Firefox etc. I am about ready to switch to Internet Explorer! w

Since upgrading Firefox, it doesn't respond when I click on print and/or print preview while displaying web pages.. No error message, just no response. I tried using both my printers..a HP and a Canon and get no results with either. I have no problem printing from any other place (including "Print" instructions within web pages, usually). I have recently upgraded my desktop (Dell Vostro 220) to Windows 7 and it went smoothly. The Firefox upgrade came at about the same time, so I don't know if Windows 7 is part of the problem. I need be able to print from the screen of web pages!

Hi jjoyceeric,
Have you looked at the Knowledge Base article [[Firefox prints incorrectly]]? There is some good troubleshooting information in there. I would suggest that you try resetting your print settings.
Hopefully this helps!

Print dialog is not showing the correct Print Preview document, image, or artboard sizes; printer is printing incorrectly

This is what the Print Dialog looks like. The print preview is too small. The final printed images are coming out all wrong.
This is happening for ALL DRIVERS (5 different printers) and 2 different USERS in our company.
It doesn't matter if you change the Media Size or any of the other settings here in the "Print" dialog, the "Page Setup..." dialog, the printer's own "Setup..." settings, etc... it's like Illustrator is using the wrong Artboard size. And why is there so much dark gray area around the page in the Print Preview? It looks really messed up.
We need this fixed immediately. This is a crazy bad bug... we can't print!
Illustrator: 8.1.1

Print preview window is blank

Sometimes when I try to print a PDF from the net my print preview window is blank even though it shows the document might be multipule pages long. The same can happen when trying to print out other things from the net....any ideas out there?
thanks, Steve

Hi Steve, not sure, but they have ways of preventing you from printing some PDFs, & possibly other ways to obscure it.
Do you have a link to one that shows blank?

Illustrator CC 18.1.1 print preview is not displaying preview properly. Any work around?!

I only started having this problem recently. It might be a Yosemite bug or graphics driver bug. When I go to print in the latest version of Illustrator CC 18.1.1 I get a shrunken window of what print preview should be (see below).
Circumstances are that I have my MBP 15" Retina connected to a Apple Thunderbolt Display. When I'm working in Illustrator on the Thunderbolt display and have the laptop screen open beside it, print preview will not display correctly. If I drag the print dialog box over to the laptop screen, it then shows print preview correctly. Also, I found that if I close the laptop screen and just work off the Thunderbolt display print preview works correctly again. ITS DRIVING ME CRAZY! Please Help!
I'm currently running:
OS X 10.10.2
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013)
2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
Screenshot from Thunderbolt Display. Print Preview is shrunk to upper-left hand corner:

Just wondering if I'm looking for something that doesn't exist - can firefox automatically close the "print-preview" window after printing?

I'm using the addon in my firefox toolbar to print preview website data then append to a pdf file. Sometimes I am distracted, then can't remember if I've gone through the process and printed/appended the page to the file. It would be helpful if there was a way that the print preview window would close after printing thereby confirming that the process has completed. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply.
I'm running different versions of firefox on different computers. I'm aware of the upgrade procedures. Same issue in later versions as well.
The add-on is called "Print Preview Button 0.5" by sindre-wimberger which I obtained through the "Search Mozilla Support"
However, that's not really relevant - to bring this back to basics the same situation occurs if you do <File> <Print Preview> then print the document. The print preview screen remains until manually closed. Perhaps there is a setting in "about:config"? Does anyone know if this is so? There is an entry "print.whileinprintpreview" but not sure what setting does here. Suspect if set to "False" then you probably wouldn't be able to print from "Print Preview" screen.
Thanks.

Print Templates print preview window closes unexpectly when printing document

This is a cross posting from Internet Explorer Web Development after a suggestion that this forum would be a better location. See
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/ie/en-US/351e1245-b606-4467-9f3c-1c72f9cdf9ea/print-templates-print-preview-window-closes-unexpectly-when-printing-document?forum=iewebdevelopment.
I have raised an issue through Connect for this:
https://connect.microsoft.com/IE/feedback/details/1134168/ie9-to-ie11-print-templates-print-preview-window-closes-unexpectly-when-printing-document, but I would like some more visibility of the issue as my customers thought my application was closing when
they printed a document. I also don't know if an issue in Connect gets any priority support via MSDN, but this forum does.
This looks to me like a problem in the IE Print Templates startDoc API call, but if there is a more appropriate forum to raise this issue in please let me know.
In the application where I use print templates, the window closing is not in it self a problem because the Javascript that is calling startDoc also closes the Print Preview window when the print is finished.
The fact that the application looses focus and can be hidden by the windows of other applications when the Print Preview window is closed by startDoc is the issue noticed by our customers, so I need a fix preferably, or a work around at a pinch.
Details of the issue reproduced below.
When using IE Print Templates, the startDoc function is causing the print preview window to close. This behaviour started with IE9, and is still present with IE11.
When an application is using print templates (see
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa753279(v=vs.85).aspx) for print functionality, this has the effect of causing the application to become hidden by any other application window once printing from the print preview window has started. It is
actually this behaviour that started me looking at this issue as the users thought the hosting application had closed.
Print Templates are not accessible by using IE as a web browser, but only when using the WebBrowser Control to embed IE in an application. The reference for this feature is available from this url:https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa753279(v=vs.85).aspx
and a sample Microsoft application that demonstrates the use of Print Templates can be used to demonstrate the problem (required for the reproduction steps). The application is available via this article and searching for "download spiffy".
Steps to reproduce the problem:
To see the full effect of the issue, first ensure there is a window from another application (like Windows Explorer) that will cover the sample applications window if brought to the foreground (making the Windows Explorer window full screen works).
Start the sample application (and ensure that the full screen Window Explorer is the next application to activate).
Then in the drop down box in the top right corner of the UI select Template8.htm.
Click the Print Preview button that is just below the drop down box (this will open a new Print Preview window).
In the new window click the Print… button (this will open a Print dialog).
Click the Print button at the bottom of the Print dialog.
The Print dialog closes (expected) and then the Print Preview window also closes (not expected), however the document is still printed successfully.
When the Print Preview windows is closed unexpectedly, the Windows Explorer window is brought to the foreground (obscuring the sample applications window).
If you reselect the sample application and click the Print Preview button again, the Print Preview dialog is not displayed unless you restart the application (this looks to be a symptom of the same issue, not a separate problem).
To see that the Print Preview window appears to be closed by the startDoc call, use the resource editor in Visual Studio (the exe can be opened directly by File | Open | File…) to edit the HTML resource "TEMPLATE8.HTM" (I found I needed to delete
it and add it back in for the change to stick), find the startDoc call and add two alerts, one on the line before and one on the line after. When IE is accessing the template, it is being done using the name of the executable (so do not rename the modified
version of printtemplates.exe, make the changes to a copy in a different directory if you don't want to change the original). Start the modified version of the application and follow the same steps as in the reproduction. This time, after clicking
the Print button in the Print dialog, the dialog will close, the first alert will pop up, then the Print Preview window will close, then
the second alert will pop up.
Thank you,
Warren.

Hi Shu,
I have noticed that the print templates API is listed as part of the Legacy APIs.
Is this just because it hasn't changed or is not new? Or does this mean that it is no longer maintained and may be removed (or at least deprecated) at some point in the future?
It would good to know if we should start planning for the implementation of a different method of printing.
I understand that the sample application is no longer maintained, but I also think that the Print Template API that it uses has not changed, and so should still work (and it does mostly).
If the Print Preview window was being closed as a result of using the Print dialog (and if it had behaved the same way with IE8) I would be willing to go with the by design argument.
I have found that the Print Preview window is not closed until startDoc is called, and it closes before control is returned from the startDoc function.
Just as part of investigating and try to find a workaround, if I call window.close(), any alert calls made no longer display the alert window after the close call.
Alert still functions after startDoc has closed the window however.
The is not the sort of consistent behaviour I would expect from something that is by design.
Also while investigating, I found that calling startDoc after calling window.close() results in an exception with the error code -2147467259 (0x80004005), this is probably quite normal and expected, but does indicate that the Web Browser Control should
not be closed till after printing.
I had found that old thread, and I had concluded it was the same issue, but it was also aimed at different aspect of the problem (which I see in the sample application, but not my application).
The visible issue I have is that my users think the application has been closed because after clicking print (on the Print dialog) the application gets hidden by other windows from other applications.
This aspect affects the sample in the same manner and so it was a convenient way to demonstrate the problem.
If IE connect do not look at this issue any time soon, do I have any other avenues to resolve this issue?
Thank you,
Warren.

Why is Safari not showing pages correctly ?

Hi there !
I'm having a little Safari 5 trouble.
Safari is not showing page layouts correctly, it seems it is not recognizing / reading css at all. Not one site shows correctly !
Whereas Firefox has no problem at all.
On Safari, I had diverse small extensions and Glims (but I had those for a while and nothing like this ever happened - only the occasional crash).
Also, I tried reinstalling Safari entirely. No change.
What do you think can be causing this ?

HI and welcome.......
If you still have Glims the latest build is available here.
http://wiki.machangout.com/howdoi/glims-development-build
As for the extensions, go to Safari / Preferences - Extensions. Turn that OFF. Quit Safari (Command + Q) Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference.
Try resetting Safari. From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.
If nothing above has helped, try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file. Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Now launch Safari. If Safari loads pages as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.
