Using a mac. will not print...no image with print preview ...why no print image?

why no image when use print preview nor with print function? using a mac

Hello my friend,
When troubleshooting we look to see if the problem is local or global. Again, you may very well know this so apologies. Anyway, if you haven't already, then please create another account on your Mac. You should do this anyway, actually everybody should. (The Tim knows). So test to see if the problem exists in the other account as well. I name the extra account maint and make it an admin account. If you find that it prints normally with the maint account, that is good, because it just means that one or more of your local account preferences are munged in the primary account. Global on the other hand is a bit more work to solve. If that's the case you can try reinstalling the operating system. In most cases that will overwrite the low level culprit and put you back in the sweet zone. Let me know how it goes, it's an interesting problem. I like those. Especially when they aren't mine. ;-)
I have been supporting Ma cs for a very very long time. If IICX rings a bell. Anyway, just reinstalling the OS over the top is pretty quick. However, we techs like to find the little sucker that's causing the problem and we can spend many hours scouring to locate it. It's a challenge to us not to let the computer get the better of us. Win. But the reality of it is often a simple OS reinstall will get you back in the game. Beyond that is a hardware problem concern. To me from what you describe it sounds software to me. So don't worry too much about that at this point.
Peace, Tim

Print Window will not show - freezes whole application

I have a mac mini running tiger which will not print in ANY application. When I click file>print, the print window will not come out and the application freezes, and I have to force quit it. This happens in every application when I try to print.
Other macs connected to the same printer will print successfully, but the mac mini will not. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks!

Great news!
but I skipped the last step (repair permissions after booting from the HD), because I did that step when I booted from the CD's disc utility
Well, DU picks up what the Permissions are from the Disk it's booted from, so though doing it from the Install DVD might get most right, it really needs to be done from the HD.
PS. Depending on the version of 10.4 on the Install Disk, it MAY read them from the HD's Library>Receipts>PKGs, but it's never been cleared up as to what version that might be.
Might let us know if some Permissions were changed if you decide to do it from the HD.

Why will some website articles not print preview or print more than part of the document in firefox. I sometimes have to go to IE to be able to print the entire document.

I often want to print an article from a website. Many times when I print preview, it will only show the first, second and maybe last page, but nothing inbetween. I have tried printing it anyway but nothing inbetween will print. My solution has been to go to Internet Explorer where I have then been able to print preview and print the entire article. This is annoying and takes extra time. Is there a setting that I need to make in order to eliminate the problem

Top left (Orange) Firefox button, Print, Print Preview. Does everything look correct? You may also click the icon that looks like a "DISK" to save, which allows you to save it to your computer and CTRL+P will allow you to print.

Will not print web pages or show them on print preview since upgraded to ver 4.0

when I try to print or click print preview I see a blank screen or just the first line at the top. When I click print I get a blank page.

I ran into same problem when I could not clear the print queue of my neighbor's Photosmart C5580 and had to reinstall the HP softwares. This happened serveral times when he printed email pages which contained embedded content. The problem started after he installed IE9. Reverting back to IE8 "fixed" the problem; that is the problem does not occur with IE8. Also, found out from colleague that Norton support recomends uninstalling IE9 in these situations.

Flash windows in web page do not print preview or print - works in IE

Specs:
Win XP Pro, SP3, Laptop and Win 7 Desktop
FF 3.6.10
IE8
Latest flash for IE and FF - 10.1.85.3 (previous 10.1 versions also issue)
I routinely use www.speedtest.net and www.speakeasy.net/speedtest to perform speed tests for troubleshooting issues. Both use Flash windows to show the Download/Upload speed test progress and final results.
In IE8, both ''print preview'' and ''print'' work and display/print the contents of the flash windows. In FF, everything displays/prints properly expect the content of the Flash windows - they are blank.
Apologize, as I imagine this has had to be reported in the past as I've seen posts via Google search going back many years, but could not find anything recent in FF help or forum. In addition, I assume this could be a Flash issue. However, if it is, it is not impacting IE. Regardless whether an FF or Adobe issue, I believe that Mozilla should head up and manage the repairs.

If you just need an image of the page (not the browser frame or full desktop), the FireShot extension will do that. I have been using FireShot for some time and am quite happy with the results. I just tested it on www.speedtest.net results on my XP system and it worked. With Fireshot, you can add notations and print or save the image (full screen or just visible area). Do not opt for the paid "Pro" version, just use the free version. If you use it, you may want to block outgoing connection to screenshot-program.com in your firewall; I do not know why it tries to make that contact with it each screen capture, but it works fine with the firewall blocking the outgoing connection.

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.

Won't print but 1/2 of the page from firefox, and only show half of page on print preview, but will printwhole page from IE and quickbooks.

When trying to print anything from the Web, only the left portion of the page will print, nothing from the middle to the right of the page showing. It shows this on the print preview. I tried taking it off shrink to fit and it still doesn't show the right half of the page, the print is just larger.
I can print anything from Internet Explorer and from Quickbooks, but not from Firefox. I have downloaded all of the versions up to 5.0. It did print before upgrade, but I don't remember which version actually worked.

That did fix it, thanks so very, very much! I went to the " prints to a small portion of the page" and changed the paper size to A4 like it said and it worked immediately. This was the first time that I found this particular information listed on Firefox after looking at numerous questions/answers. Again, thanks so very much!!!!!!

Since installing Firefox 4, I keep getting this message "TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined" when a window should open. Also print and print preview don't work properly anymore.

Since installing the newest version of Firefox, This message "TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined" appears in a box when a new window should open. Also, what you see in print print preview is not what prints.

This type of error is usually caused by an add-on you are using that is not compatible. It could be anything from an antivirus link scanner like AVG Safe Search add-on, or McAfee Site Advisor add-on, or something similar. To confirm what add-on is causing this use the procedure in this link:
https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Try Disabling the last add-on that was installed prior to upgrading to version 5.0
Check and tell if its working.

I right click on link, click, open in new window, then nothing happens. Or, windows within a page will not open, for example, on gmail, when I click "details" the window will not open.

When I right click on a hot link, then click, open in a new window, a window will not open. Alternatively, I can click, open in a new tab, and a new tab will open. Additionally, if I'm at a website with a chat feature, the chat window will not open, or, as another example, if I'm at gmail, and I click "details", the window that opens giving the summary of when your account has been opened and the IP addresses it's been accessed from, will not open.
I have on the computer, Aurora too. I doubt that it's a source of the problem, but I had to throw that into the mix. For clarification, this problem is happening while using the Firefox browser.

You can middle-click a link to open the link in a new tab.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Open link in new window will not work

I am running Firefox 3.6.12 on Windows XP and have never had a problem until just recently. If I right click and select "open link in new window", a new window will open, but it is blank. This started about a week ago while playing Pogo...the game rooms will not load because they open in a new window. Now I am noticing that it is with everything, not just Pogo.
I have tried checking and unchecking the "block pop-ups" option and the new windows will not load either way.
Any help would be appreciated!!!
Thanks!

I am having problems exporting my time lapses from quick time pro i need to save my files as photo jpegs but the standard video compression window will not open fully,

i am having problems exporting my time lapses from quick time pro i need to save my files as photo jpegs but the standard video compression window will not open fully, it just keeps my mac (old 1.6Ghz 2.5 GB sdram G5 still good for most stuff i need) spinning for ever but i can see compression type H.264 selected and the other setting but i can not select any other options as it still thinking but never opens! why is this happening how do i get round it?
my work flow is: 300 images shot on a 5d mark II medium jpegs opened in Light Room cropped to 16:9 then exported and opened in quick time i can save a .mov H264 giving me files sizes of 14 mb for a 16 second time lapse, mp4 9 mb. the only way i can get large files is saving as a self contained movie then i get 300mb files.
i need to save my files 1920 x 1080 photo jpeg codec as i want HD quality.
i am sure there is a simple way round this?
thanks guys!

It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions.
How large is your hard drive and how much hard drive space do you have left?

Adobe Reader XI is not working. I have used the cleanup tool and reinstalled it. I try to open a .pdf file in the program the window will open and load all the tabs but I am never able to actually interact with them.

I am unable to use adobe reader xi. I have tried to use the clean up tool and re install the reader. That doesn't seem to help. I go to open the pdf file in the reader and the window will load but I am not able to do anything past that point. Almost as if the program freezes once loaded I never get a not responding error until I open the task manager on the computer.

Can you open Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
