Printer Paper Folds when printing

We have a Hp officejet 7000 printer. Receive it yesterday and it is printing quite nice.
The problem every time we print on A3 paper it folds the paper before printing. Why does it does that and what can we do to prevent it?

How long have you been using the printer? the printhead may be wearing out... as long as it still prints , its ok. YOu may need to replace the printhead in the future.

HI,
You should be able to just leave it on, it should have a sleep mode which it will enter after a while.

Change paper size when printing

How to change paper size when printing pdf? No option for paper size appear.

That is a feature of AirPrint. If you do a Google search on "AirPrint paper size" you'll find documentation from major printer manufacturers. For example, this is copied from some HP documentation:
What paper and media sizes are supported?
With AirPrint, paper and photo media sizes are automatically selected depending on the application you are using on your Apple device, your HP ePrint printer, and the region in which you are using AirPrint. You do not have the option to select different paper sizes.
For example, from Apple’s Photo application, if the HP ePrint printer has a separate photo paper tray, AirPrint uses 4 x 6 inch photo media as the default paper size. If the printer does not have a separate photo paper tray, AirPrint uses letter-size paper. If you are printing from Apple’s Safaribrowser, letter-size paper is the default paper size in the US region, and A4 is the default paper size in Europe.
AirPrint supports the following paper and media sizes:
Letter
Legal
A4
4 x 6 in photo paper
A6 photo paper

I switched to Apple Mail in the last two months. When I attempt to print an email message, I get a blank piece of paper. When I attempt to use the print options suggested in "Mail Help", the program crashes and has to be reopened. Any ideas?

Paper jam when printing photo from Microsoft Photo Editor

On my C7280, I want to print a photo from Microsoft Photo Editor onto plain 8.5x11 paper. This always produces a paper jam. If I copy/paste the photo into, say, Word, and print from Word, the document prints properly.
This is not a "false paper jam" - the printer attempts to feed the paper, and jams (and creases) the paper in the attempt.
In Photo Editor, I explicitly chose "plain paper" and "main tray", rather than automatic settings.
Any help would be appreciated!

Hello @Lonewolf777 ,
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand that you are getting paper jams when printing from your Android device.
I would like to help.
Have you tried to print using the HP ePrint app?
Also, if you are having problems using the in OS print system, install the HP Print Service Plug in.
It acts like a print driver for your phone.
If it is already installed, try the old, uninstall and reinstall trick.
Alternately, you can call the folks over at the HP Cloud Services department.
Please call our Cloud Services at 855-785-2777.

I cannot select the Paper Size when I try to print with HP Photosmart B110a with Windows 8.1 64bit

I cannot select the Paper Size when I try to print with HP Photosmart B110a
The same printer was working OK with my old PC with OS Windows 7
However I got a new PC with OS Windows 8.1 64bit
I installed the new driver for HP Photosmart B110a that I dowloaded from HP site. Driver forWindows 8.1 64bit.
In addition to not being able to chose the paper size, also when I go to Printer Properties in Options, all the characters are non-ascii.
Do you know what may be the problem?
Thank you

Hello Nanu64,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having some issues when attempting to print from your computer.
I also see that you stated that not all the options are available in the printing preferences options. This could be because the installation was not complete or it failed.
I suggest that we do a complete uninstall/ reinstall as well as some additional steps.
First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
If you have the printer connected to the computer with a usb cable, please remove the cable from both ends and leave it disconnected until further notice.
The next link that I have for you will give you detailed instructions for Uninstalling the Printer Software. Once the uninstall is complete, reboot the computer so that the changes take affect.
When the computer is back up and running, please disable any firewalls or anti virus protection you may have running. We don't want anything getting in the way of the reinstall.
The following download is the HP Photosmart Full Feature Software and Drivers. Save this download to the desktop of the computer so that it creates its own icon. This will make it easy for us to find when the download is complete.
Double click the new icon and follow the installation instructions. The installation will give you connection options (Wireless , usb or Ethernet), if connecting usb, please wait for the prompt to connect the cable. Connecting the usb cable before hand can cause an issue with the installation.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
Thanks for your time.

Newbie - Why is iPhoto copying files to Pictures folder when I said not to?

I'm a total newbie to iPhoto. I literally just installed it for the first time ever about an hour ago, but I am well-versed in the ways of iTunes for example and its preferences the way it works with MP3s on an external drive, and how you can set a folder on an external drive to be the default music location, etc.
I would have thought that iPhoto would have worked in a similar manner with photos.
Here's the scenario: I keep all my photos (literally 1000's of them, and quite hi-res.) on a massive external drive, as my main computer's hard drive is (a) quite small, and (b) quite full as it is with other stuff.
The problem I am having with iPhoto is that before I placed a single photo into its Library, I specifically set my Preferences, under the Advanced tab, to NOT copy files to iPhoto Library folder when adding to Library.
But then when I placed a whole load of photos from my external drive into iPhoto, I noticed my available free space on my main computer's hard drive had decreased somewhat. So I had a look in Users > Brett > Pictures > iPhoto Library, and sure enough, duplicates of all the pictures I added to iPhoto from my external drive had been copied there too! Why?!?!
And even more frustrating is that there appears to be TWO copies of each photo on my main hard drive: half in named sub-folders in a "Data" folder set to 360x270 (pretty massive if that's supposed to be a thumbnail!!) and then the other half, at FULL-resolution, in named sub-folders in a folder called "Modified" (not that I've modified any of them, but anyway).
And with another copy on my external drive, I now have THREE copies of each photo! That's just ludicrous!!!
I don't want iPhoto to keep "extra" copies of my photos. I just want ONE copy of each photo, and I want these photos to be stored on my external drive ONLY.
How do I set it up to do this? Or can I not do this? Have I got the wrong idea of what iPhoto can and can't do?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Brett:
If you look in the Originals folder and its subfolders you should see all alias files (very small in size) pointing to the source files on the external HD. In the Modified folder will be full sized files of any image file that was taken in the portrait orientation with a camera that has the auto-rotate capability. You can't get around it unless you rotate them before importing with a 3rd party application. Then in the Data folder are the thumbnail files. Those thumbnail files are for viewing up to a fairly good size before the original file kicks in when you use the slider bar in the thumbnail window. If you take your HD off line and then move that slider upward you can see how big you can get the thumbnail before it balks and gives you the "missing file" window of gray with a dotted rectangle.
Having the edited version lets you revert back to the original for other editing that might require a different crop (for printing a different sized photo for instance.) If you want just one copy of each photo you'll need to go to an application like iView MediaPro.
It may seem like a lot but when you think of what that library represents in full sized files on the external HD, you're really well off. My alias library of 27,000 files (29G in size) is only 1.6G on my boot drive. Even the professional applications like Aperture creates a second file when you edit and the thumbnail is either a separate file or embedded in the Aperature system for quick viewing without having to render the entire file.

How do I set "US letter" as my default paper size when I open a document?

I'm using Adobe Reader 9.5.5 and Mac OS 10.7.5.
Every time I open a PDF that's been emailed to me, Reader thinks it's US legal size, 11" x 14". Printing the document becomes a mess, unless I first remember to go File > Page setup > Paper size > US letter.
I'd like to be able to set US letter as my default paper size when I open a document. Can anyone tell me how to do that?
Thanks in advance,

I am replying to my own question. I learned that if you right click when trying to open a PDF, you are asked which app you wish to use to open the file. If you click on Get Info, instead of choosing an app, you get this great information box which gives you the option to set Adobe Reader as your default app for PDF files. It even allows you to change all the pdf files you already have to Adobe Files. Yay.

Hi when i open my application folder, all the application is shown in trash folder. when i click the application it says this app is in trash first move it out. and when i try to open through finder go it says this file doesn't exist. can some1 plz help?

Something really odd is going on. In your first screen shot, I noticed that the Applications folder does not have the proper icon displayed in the side bar. Also, in the title bar it lists it as Applications 08-59-29-909.
Not sure where it's picking up that odd name, unless it's because it's still truly within the Trash folder.
Try this. In the Finder > Preferences > General > turn on "Always open folders in a new window". (I have a feeling you have the default setting with this off).
Now, in Finder > Go > move down and open the Applications Folder from there. Now open the folder where you see all your applications that you show in your screen shot, select all, and move them to this true appliactions folder.
This is what you should properly seeing (but with different apps listed):
See how the Applications folder has the icon of the letter A shaped with a pencil, ruler & pen.

ITunes won't copy music files to Media folder when songs are dragged

I am trying add songs from my external hard drive to my iTunes Library.
I have the following options checked:
"Keep iTunes Media folder organized."
"Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library."
In the past, I could just drag files from my hard drive into the iTunes song list and add them to the library. iTunes would successfully make a copy of the file to the iTunes Media folder so that I could disconnect the hard drive and still play the songs.
Suddenly, this no longer works. iTunes won't make a copy of the file anymore. It won't even make a copy of files located on my desktop.
I found a workaround -- copy the files from my hard drive to the desktop. Then I have to go to File > Add to Library in order for it to work.
It's an extra step, but it was VERY annoying to have to figure out.
So my question -- Is this an iTunes bug or some kind of deliberate attempt at making it hard to use files not purchased through iTunes?
I noticed this on one of the Apple support pages (my emphasis):
Copying music to and keeping the iTunes Media folder organized
You can select these options on the Advanced pane of iTunes preferences:
"Keep iTunes Media folder organized." Learn more about how iTunes 9 and later organizes your media.
"Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library." Select this option to store all your media files in the iTunes Media folder. Since it's all in one location, you can easily transfer or back up your media. When you purchase or import media into iTunes from a CD, it's automatically added to your iTunes Media folder. If you add media to iTunes another way (choosing "Add to library" from the File menu or by dragging an MP3 file into iTunes), it might not be added to your iTunes Media folder.
Well, why the heck not??

I have posted so many issues to APPLE on the staggering lack of basic functionality with itunes and each time they keep deleting it.
Automatically Addd feature does not work consistently if the library is on NAS or a drive not on the same bok as the Mac, iMac or PC.
iTuns will hang if you have the finder window open and the recently added playlist open
itunes will not add files automatically if more than three phases of adding folders to the automatically add to itune folder is refreshed
Once could even jump to the conclusion that the software testing and Quality Control in the iTunes development team had missed out whole chunks of tsting OR that the test designers wrote such basic test scripts which did not replicate real world useage.

Office 2013 applications cannot be made to show the "Documents" folder when opening and saving files

(Windows Server 2012R2 and Windows 8.1 PRO)
We are redirecting the user's "Documents" folder to the network (using Folder Redirection). The OS hides this fact however, and most applications simply see the "Documents" folder when opening or saving files, including Office 2003.
Office 2013 however displays the actual path, which in this case is:
\\sever1\redirect$\username\documents
Even if you forcibly set the "Default local file location:" in the Options Save area to the 'Documents' folder in, say, Word, Word immediately converts the local path to the network path.
Is there anyway to get Office 2013 to follow the virtual path? All of other apps follow it and expose the users only to "Documents".
Thank you so much.
Dana

There's nothing in my FAQ concerning screen savers, so I'm unsure why you decided to take that approach. From your description, it looks like you only tried a few of the suggestions before throwing in the towel. That's fine, it's your call.
I don't have the problems you described with 10.4.7. Usually when folks have problems after an update, these are caused by either installing an update on an already-corrutped system or they've installed third-party applications or hardware that have been rendered incompatible by the update.
Before installing software updates, you may wish to consider the advice in my "Installing Software Updates" FAQ. Taking the steps therein before installing an update often helps avert problems and gives you a fallback position in case trouble arises.
Good luck!

How can I save a reply email to drafts folder when using hotmail on my ipad2 with safari ??

It appears that the iPad mail app cannot push drafts so I can access them on a pc.     If there is a way to do this, I would like to know
If the above is not possible, I'd like to know how to save a reply email to the drafts folder when accessing hotmail on my iPad from safari.   I can't seem to find a button on the hotmail pag, or any help instructions anywhere.     I hav done this for years using a pc with Firefox or explorer with no problem. This has to be so easy that it will seem like I asked q stupid Ustinov when I get the answer!

I am still waiting for an answer.    If you don't know the answer, but know who to ask or where to look to find an answer, I'd really appreciate it.

Problems creating a new folder when using webmail

Hi, has anyone else out there encountered problems when trying to create a new folder when using webmail ?
It just seems to create a new folder called 'New Folder' and misses out the step that would normally allow you to rename it to a title of your choice.
A whole list of folders called 'New Folder' is about as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike.
It did used to work as I've used it many times in the past.....but then so did a lot of things before the 'new' and 'improved' version of BT Mail came along.
Any help or suggestions gratefully received (apart from the obvious solution, switch to a mail client).
Maybe it needs flagging to the 'techies'......they must be really busy trying to sort out all the so called teething problems.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

What should happen is that when you click on the + for add a new folder a box should appear, somewhere amongst the folder list. (The list is in alphabetical order so if you have a number of folders previous to the letter N it maybe out of view ) .
The box will have the text " New folder-X," ( see below for the explantion for the -X ) you then delete the text, type in the name you want, hit enter and there it is.
If you don't notice the box, possibly because it's off screen further down the list, you then open and close the list, or log out the next time you view the list it, or they, are simply named New folder.
So you now have umpteen " New folders ", here's how to rename them.
Place your cursor on the word New Folder in your folder list, you will see a little box appear with" New folder-X," x being the number of the new folders you have created., eg -0, -1, -2 etc.
Then double click on it, you should then get a larger box with New folder-X.
Delete the text in the box, type in the name you want for the new folder, hit enter there's you newly named folder.

It's not just Download Helper v4.8.3, it's also RealPlayer: the download display window shows .mp3 files downloading, but nothing shows in the folder when it is done downloading.

# Question
It's not just Download Helper v4.8.3, it's also RealPlayer: the download display window shows .mp3 files downloading, but nothing shows in the folder when it is done downloading.
Also in the '''Properties''' window of Windows Explorer I '''no longer have the Details tab''', so I can't update my mp3 files with Artist, Album, Genre, etc. But the details tab does show up when I access it thru Windows Explorer.
I ran the AVG rescue disc an no viruses found. Now on '''FF3.6.15''' '''RealPlayer''' shows when I right click but then '''immediately disappears and an icon appears in the System Tray''', but as soon '''as I hover my mouse over it it disappears'''.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
How can I get this fixed? I have time-sensitive mp3s that I won't have access to anymore if I don't get this resolved in a hurry. (no pressure on you, I'm the one that's stressed about this) Can you help? Thanks so much for responding to this '''inquiry.''''''bold text'''
