Print with a black border to show page "edge"?

I'm printing a letter size document from illustrator at 50% size. All pages have a white background so I would like to have the document print with a black rule/ border around it so I can tell what it will look like. Is there a way to do this without manually putting a rule around all 25 existing artboards? Or is there a way to do this in the Acrobat pdf I'm outputting from this doc?(CS5) - many thanks!

if you want to make a border around your artboards, try the script on this post

How do I setup my printer to print with only black ink in a pages document

How do I setup a document to use black ink only in Pages?

This is a Printer setting, rather than a Document one.
For my Canon Inkjet, it's done in the Print Dialogue:
As you can see from the second pop-up menu, I have saved this setting as a preset.
The setting itself has only a single change from the supplied "Standard" setting—checking the Grayscale Printing checkbox.
Going by appearances, the printer uses only the Black cartridge when printing in this mode, unless I have set "Use color cartridge" in the printer's utility software, a setting intended to allow you to print using only one cartridge when the other is out of ink. Greyscale printing using only the colour cartridge has less contrast, and usually shows a colour cast. Setting the printer utility to specify using only the K cartridge shows results essentially the same as those done in grayscale using the Print dialogue setting and not bothering to change the printer utility setting.

Good morning leetrout1. Lets try resetting the printer. Here is how we can do that:
Make sure the product is on, and then disconnect the power cord from the product.
Disconnect the USB cable from the product, and then disconnect it from the computer.
Reconnect the USB cable to the computer, and then reconnect it securely to the product.
Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet, and then reconnect it to the wall outlet.
Reconnect the power cord to the product.
Press the Power button ( ) to turn on the product.
Let me know if this solves the issue. If not please be sure to post back with some more information like what operating system you are using, what applications this occurs in, etc.

How can I print with the black and white cartridge only?

I am trying to print using the black and white cartridge only because magenta is out of ink but I'm getting the following error message in HP Photosmart C7200 series print dialog:
The printer is out of ink.
The following ink cartridges are empty: Magenta. Replace these ink cartridges to resume printing.

I am absolutely disgusted by this; clearly a scam from HP to make more money by selling extra ink cartridges!! I will make sure to never buy any products from the shoddy rip off merchants at HP ever again!!
You should be ashamed!!

Why do some photos display with a black border round them?

I have just bought a Gen 2 ipod touch and have loaded several albums of photos on to it. Some of these photos are displayed with a black border round them and seem to be almost square instead of filling the screen, whilst others are shown in full widescreen aspect. They are taken with the same camera and I have not cropped them in iphoto so I am wondering why they are not filling the screen? Are they not being optimised properly or is there some setting somewhere I am missing?

With all due respect, Old Toad, this problem was extensively documented (with examples) in the question of April 22: "screen aspect ratio is wrong in Photos slideshows".

I have a photosmart plus b210 e print and when I print with a black back ground I get lines

I have a photosmart plus b210 e print and when I print with a black back ground I get lines. What can I do to eliminate the
lines in the photo
Thank You

Hey appollus,
Do you get these lines only when printing with ePrint? If not, it sounds like a printhead issue. Here are the steps to fix the issue.
1. Go to the setup menu on the printers front screen.
2. Go to tools.
3. Go to clean printhead
You may need to do this a few times to completely remove the lines in the print.

Using Postcard Template, how do I print with NO white border?

I am trying to use the 4 postcard template and cannot get the photo printed without a white border around the edge of the paper. I want to the photo to take up the entire card. What am I doing wrong? Obviously I am new to this so I would appreciate very simple instructions.

To test how close to the edge your printer prints, just make up a page in Pages with an all over grey box and print that.
Then adjust your postcard template to suit.
You have not said whether you are printing to A4 or US Letter.

suggests you can print to larger paper stock and possibly trim it back.

Print with only black cartridge HP OfficeJet 6700 Premium

Britt4:
I print 95% or more black-and-white pages. Maybe 5% of the time I am interested in color output. Same usage pattern for copying features.
HP seems to promote the fact that with individual color cartridges I "only have to replace the color cartridges that actually get used up".
"Perfect" ... I thought. An all-in-one can sit in a small office and be used mostly for B&W, and every once in a while the color cartridges will be used (they'll last quite a long time that way, so I thought) and the copying needs etc. will also all be covered.
NOW after some time I'm starting to discover that these all-in-one devices evidently consume the HP color ink that I would buy while they are printing black-only output. If I do a bunch of low-cost (so I thought) black output my color inks are evidently disappearing! I thought maybe this is tiny and insignificant but I've found it more expensive.
I am interested in a solution so I can use only black-ink for black output (including business-quality black output) and when needed, a separate option to print in the color ink supply only when I want to print in color.
I DO NOT want to consume color ink to print black only-pages, which are much-more-frequent usage.
**** I need a workaround option to print with empty color cartridges when I am printing black output (thus use / install the color ink only for the periods that I want actual color output)?
Can you PLEASE help! ! !
Thanks!!!

I'm in the same boat with my 6700 that I purchased recently (Dec 2013?). I've been using the setup cartridges for the few, mostly balck and white, pages that I have needed to print. I was printing a couple of tax forms and on the second one it refused to print, saying the cartridge was depleted. Fair enough, but it was rather inconvenient. I purchased a genuine HP black ink cartridge (832) for about $20 and installed it, but now it's reporting that all three color cartridges are depleted and need replacing. I tried removing and replacing them to no avail.
I have ordered a set of remanufactured cartridges from Printronix for about $12 and I hope they work. Otherwise I think I'm just going to sell this POS and get a cheap laser printer or ink jet from any manufacturer OTHER THAN HP. I understand the logic behind using some color ink with the black to keep the head clear and lubricated, but I don't want to spend like $50 for a complete set of cartridges and need to replace them again in six months of minimal usage.
Hewlett-Packard was once the premier line of electronic test equipment and I still have several that were made before the Agilent name change. And I've had several HP computers and have had some problems with them. But now I've become quite annoyed with the (lack of) performance from this HP printer and it looks like I'll be looking elsewhere for my next one(s).

How can I be sure a table is printed with at least 1 item before page break

I've got a form with several tables (small and large ones, depends on the selection) and I don't like to print only the header on the first page (without any items) while a page break is needed. I like to reserve lines for every table (like in smartforms) or to check a line counter of the page to trigger the page break on my own if not enough space is available
Do you have any idea how I handle this problem?
Thank you very much

To specify the minimum number of repetitions, select Min Count and type a number in the associated box. If this option is set to 0 and no data is provided for the objects in the subform at data-merge time, the subform is not placed when the form is rendered.

Printing with only black ink

when i bought the hp 8600 officejet pro plus, i was toil that you didnt have to replace the empty color catridges to print in black ink only. i have jsut found out that is not true. is there a way to make printer print without replacing collor cartridges?

Most likely the confusion is caused because the Office Depot sales person and the bushiness associate did not distinguish between the different kinds of printers.
There are generally a few different technologies used for inkjet printers - those like the Deskjet 6940 that have printheads and ink supplies integrated together are called Integrated Print Head (IPH) printers.
Another style has separate individual ink supplies and printheads. This style has printheads that may be permanent and non-replaceable, or they may be replaceable after some number of ink supplies. These are called Individual Ink Cartridge (IIC) printers. An Examples are the Photosmart C7280, which has permanent non-replaceable printheads and the Officejet 8600 and 6700 which have replaceable printheads.
Most IPH printers will happily print with one (or even both) cartridges low on ink or empty. Recent models will often allow printing even if one of the cartridges is removed completely, switching automatically to "reserve mode" or "ink backup mode".
IIC printers have long life printheads and generally have plumbing to connect the ink supplies to the printheads. These printers (whether from HP or other manufacturers) generally require ink available in all colors to prevent air bubbles in the plumbing ar printhead. Some ink is also required to keep the nozzles from clogging. Even in the case of printing black only the color printheads are waving around in the air and may dry out. Some ink is required to keep the printhead from drying out.
The document here has some information on how ink is used.

i have tried photoshop manages colors as well as printer manages colors
i have reloaded the drivers
it works fine out of preview and lightroom
help please
Dan

Print mode should give you choice of Color or Black. Black means black ink only.
This will not give you a good looking print as it will be grainy and hard to control.
Consider using Quadtone RIP which will incorporate all needed colors to create a proper grayscale print with proper tones.
Quadtone RIP will probably offer the needed settings for this but it might require finding some files on the net.
Imageprint RIP is very good for this but is quite expensive.

Deskjet 6122 print with only black cartridge?

I got this oldy but goody through the local Freecycle list (with two sets of full ink!) after finding out it works with Linux and that openprinting.org lists it as working perfectly. Plug and play setup with Ubuntu 14.04, recognized instantly.
I think it's indicated just by the old school type print cartridge/head, but I should be able to use this one with the black ink cartridge only right? I know newer ones will force you to have both. I like that the cartridge prices for this one are very economical too.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

The Deskjet 6122 requires an electrically sound black and color cartridge to be installed in the printer to allow printing. It is not necessary to have ink in all the colors, but both cartridges must be installed.

Printing with only black cartridge ph 2605dn

How can I set the printer to print with only the black cartridge. I cannot replace color cartridges.

The 2605 can print in grayscale. You can set this in the 'Color" tab in the print driver. But it is not possible to use only the black cartridge in the 2605. The color cartridges will experience some wear, even if you print only in black. You can put your cartridges in "Override" mode from the control panel if the cartridges go to "out," and try to continue printing, but you may experience some print defects. That's because the cartridges have reached the end of their guaranteed life, when they reach "out."
Because you have a color printer, it is good to print in color sometimes. If you would like to print 100% in black, you may want to obtain a monochrome-only printer.

Since upgrading the IOS 8 on my IPad 2 I can longer get a full screen on my TV when connected with an HDMI cable. anything I should change in my settings? Right now my iPad is mirrored on the TV with a black box all around the edge

Since upgrading the IOS 8 on my IPad 2 I can longer get a full screen on my TV when connected with an HDMI cable. anything I should change in my settings? Right now my iPad is mirrored on the TV with a black box all around the edge

I have reached the same conclusion in the mean time. I have done a bit of investgation in to other grahics cards and am seeing some that show SPDIF connections from the card to the mother board. I was not familar with SPDIF but it did a little bit of sluething. It is of course a digitally enconded voice. I am guessing that in that case the mother board ( assuming it supports this hardware option) would use this output and be able to translate that digital audio to its other audio outputs. That is a lot of guessing of course. I think my "solution" might be a whole new desktop - a rather drastic course of action! I was in the proceess of getting ready to upgrade this machine anyway with a new graphics card (which I will now return), go to Win 7, and maybe even a new digital TV reciever, and I don't want to throw good money after bad anyway.
Thanks for your comments
