Printer only printing two pages, any application

I have a Samsung ml-4600 laser printer connected via USB to an Ibook. It worked great for years, but now, no matter which application I'm using (TextEdit, Word, Powerpoint, Safari), the printer only prints two pages. Even if I print using the printer as a shared device, it'll only print TWO pages!
I've tried:
- printing ranges instead of just selecting 'all'
- tried different applications
- switched USB ports and cable
- uninstall and reinstalled driver from Samsung
- removed and re-added printer to printer list
- removed the printpref preference files from library/prefs
- repair disk permissions
- update all OS X software
Now, I can print from a different powerbook using a direct cable connection and it'll print no problem, so the problem is limited to this 800 mhz g4 ibook.
This just started happening, any ideas?
thanks
Kevin

Make sure you are using the 1.2.0.224 version of the driver. If you already are, you can try using the gutenprint driver.

Phaser 3250DN drops off network after printing one or two pages

I have a Phaser 3250DN printer that has started dropping off the network after switched on and printing one or two pages. If I power cycle the printer, it comes back online, but then drops off the network again almost immediately so I can't print any more pages. The printer fails to respond to pings while in this state. The printer is 4 years old but has had >extremely< light usage. We've printed about one thousand pages total and is only turned on when we want to print something so most of the time it's physically powered off.

Network drop-offs can occur for a variety of reasons and be triggered by a variety of causes. You may want to make sure you are using the latest software release on the product, as well as check the network firewall configuration settings. In addition, sometimes disabling unused networking protocols can reduce traffic the device is exposed to and ease the burden if traffic volume is what is shutting down the NIC.
Another thing to consider would be the network topography itself; make sure the device is on a subnet exposed to minimal broadcast/multicast traffic.
Finally, you can verify the device itself is physically functional by testing it with a laptop and crossover cable. If the drop-off behavior occurs while connected directly to another single computer, it may be indicative of an issue with the main board or hard drive.
You may also find additional support articles at the following link: Phaser 3250 KB - http://www.support.xerox.com/support/phaser-3250/support/enus.html
I hope this helps.
Have a great day.

Suppress printing the last two pages

I have created a form that has the last two pages of the form screen only visible. Saved the form and printed it but the last two pages print blank. Is there any way to suppress printing the last two blank pages. If I was the only person using the form I just wouldn't print the last two pages but this is going into a production environment where seeing the last two pages is important but printing the last two pages isn't.
Thanks.

Take a look at the script produced by the "Print Button".
xfa.host.print(1, "0", (xfa.host.numPages -1).toString(), 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);

HP printer only prints blank pages from Word or Pages

My HP all in one printer only prints blank pages from Word or Pages documents, prints ok from anything else. Any ideas? Have deleted and readded printer removed HP software reinstalled software from Apple etc. Help please!

If this just happens from these two programs, it's most likely a driver conflict. If typically using an alternate driver will alow you to get around this. To try this, add the printer's que to the Mac. Click the dropdown next to Use and choose a driver that's not for your printer. Typically the best one to try is another Photosmart dirver, but Deskjet drivers will work as well. I would make the instructions a bit more clear, but I don't have access to a 10.6 Mac. Let me know if this works or not.

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.

OfficeJet 8500A. Single print job prints half on two pages.

I have an OfficeJet 8500A Premium for about a year now. All was working well, until recently.
I'm using Firmware Version: LRP1FN1126AR
Now, when I send a print job that's supposed to be on a single page, it prints half on two pages. This, of course, wastes my ink, paper, time, energy, and sanity. I've searched around and can't find a resolution to this problem.
I posted a picture of the problem I'm experiencing, personal info areas blurred out. The only way to fix this, which is a temporary fix, is to turn the printer on and off. That seems to correct the problem, but only for a short while, since it will eventually start printing single print jobs split on two pages.
Please help. Thanks.

It sounds like the driver for the printer and the driver for the IE9 are having a conflict. I would advise trying to open the same page in a different web browser to see if the problem follows multiple browsers, or only IE9.
Also, I would try reverting back to IE8 as a possible workaround. If none of these are able to get the printouts desired, then I would look at Shane_R's thread on using an alternate driver located here.
Hope this helps.

I am using Acrobat Reader 11.0.10 . I cant print mixed originals and also I cannot print letter size correctly . printing of first two pages ok but the rest gets cut off at the top

How can I print from MAC with Acrobat Reader. I can't seem to get it to print correctly , first two pages of letter size works ok after the remaining pages get moved up and the printing is cut off.

I arrived here looking for a solution! And while reading your post the penny dropped that I didn't have a serious problem. I have a booklet of 112 pages and all I needed to do was re-order the pages as printed so that 1 is followed by a sheet with 2 on the under-face but same side and so on. The pages had printed back to front and needed flipping. But then I have a duplex printer and maybe that makes a difference. Is it to do with your manual duplexing and the order that the second pass is presented to the printer. As my duplex sheets effectively needed flipping over each one I'm wondering if you can solve your problem with a little experimentation and re-ordering before your second pass.

My 4630 printer only prints the first page and then cancels

My 4630 printer only prints the first page and then cancels the rest of the document. I have to manually choose to print one page at a time. If I try to print a document, it prints the first page and then cancels printing the rest of it. It's driving me crazy. I just bought this printer and, other than that, it works fine. I tried the HOTFIX link that was attached to a previous link as well as other microsoft updates, however, am still having no luck.

'' Prints only print'' never map directions on PC.

I have both a picture of printer on my bookmark bar. When I want to print the whole page exactly like it is......but the printer only printer the wording not the picture directions. I have printed receipes very good with both pic & directions. I have a Tosiba Chromebook laptop. I have changed all ink so that is not the problem. Also have not figured out how to get the HP appt?? thanks so much for your help.

Hello @mattesmom1,
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand that you are having problems printing map directions from your Chromebook.
I would like to help.
A lot of map/direction sites are designed differently then a recipe site.
With a recipe, the images are on teh web page.
With the directions/map sites, the image is not static.
That is why often you can zoom in or out on the map.
On the Web page that you are trying to print from, there should be a print option.
This will be separate from the ones you normally use.
This will bring up a printer friendly version of the directions.
This should then print the image along with the written direction.
If I may, what site are you trying to print the map directions from?

Printer only prints half the words, HP6200

Printer only prints half the text. In other words, the text is shown only half the size.

No one could possibly help you with that little detail.
How about - what printer, what operating system, how is it connected.....

Hi vicky611,
Does it print in landscape orientation exclusively from one program, or one device?

Printer only prints test page

After replacing the ink cartridge, my printer does not print any documents, just keeps reprinting the test page.

Hello @Tuulikki,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand your Deskjet 1050 is only printing a test page. I will do my best to assist you! What type of test page is it printing? Is this printer printing an alignment page?
Is this page missing colors or stating failed alignment?
I would follow this entire HP document on 'Alignment Failed' Error Message Displays on the Computer. I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great day!
