Printer,prints more unwanted pages

When printing to sprint,selecting Range I.e 1-1, the printer prints 7 of the same page.Also when printing all,the printer will print continuously of all pages. HELP!!!

Hello ganges12,
What happens when you print from the in-OS printing solution? Does the printer still print multiple copies?

  • My HP2025 prints unwanted pages from web crawlers.

    Everday I find at least 3 unwanted pages have been printed by my HP2025 printer.  The text usually only consists of the address for a website plus a few lines of text.  Here is one of the more frequent examples:
    GET http://www.baidu.com/  HTTP/1.1
    Host:  www.baidu.com
    Accept: */*
    Pragma: no-cache
    User-Agent:  Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.01; Windows 98)
    I've been told that this due to an open internet port on the printer being hit by a webcrawler and the printer interprets this as a request to print something.
    Does anyone know of a way to block this from happening?
    Thanks

    Hi, My printing has suddenly changed in adobe to a large scale, as in, what should be one page of print comes out as 24 pages?   I havent changed anything, its happening on more than one document also, I have to stop my printer before all the pages spew out. I have tried printing 'one single page' and it does exactly the same? Help?

    Is the Poster Print feature turned ON?

    This can be the result of selecting the wrong driver. An older, unsupported laser printer will sometimes work with the generic Postscript driver.

  • I can not print more than page one of PDF file I have loaded with 2013 version Firefox; I am able to with IE. Vista Home Prem is my OS and I have a 64 bit Dell

    I have the most current version of MS Home Premium Vista. I run it on a 64 bit Dell Studio Laptop.
    I have just started suing Mozilla Firefox 2013 Beta version.
    I usually used Firefox vs IE as my browser and have my Yahoo email set as my home page.
    When I tried to print a a several page PDF file I was accessing using Firefox, all it it print previewed and ultimately printed was page one. This happened regardless of the PDF file (e.g. those on the IRS.gov website). When I switch over to Internet Explorer and try to read the same files, I have no problem.
    On 2012 versions of Firefox I had no PDF printing problem. I do think there is a bug in the latest version.

    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.

  • How do I print out more than the first page on longer emails.

    If an email is two or three pages long the Firefos print instruction only prints out the first page and lists it as 1 of 1

    On your iMac or on your iPhone?
    If on your Mac, which version of iPhoto do you have? The Print themes changed between the versions.

  • Print total in last page,

    Hello Everyone
    In PLD i have a requirement whereby if the layout goes into more than a page says 2 pages,then the total should display "Continued in next page" in the 1st page and in the last page(in our case 2nd page) total should print the document total in the same area. How can this be done? How to achieve this if...then...else statement in PLD
    if CurrentPage()!=TotalPages()
    then "Continued in Next page"
    else Doctotal
    Thanks and Regards

    Dear Raghu,
    If you would like to print certain fields on the last page only,
    'TotalPages()' cannot be used in formula, therefore, please follow the
    Workaround below.
    As a Workaround create the following field:
       Field_Formula
       General Tab
       Untick visible
       Left = 0 / Width = 0 / Top = 0 / Height = 0
       Content Tab
       Source Type: Formula
       SystemString(ContinueNextPageNotice) ==''
    And enter the ID of this field as the "Link to" for the Fields you
    like to print on the last page only.
    For more information please refer to the NOTE 1058584.
    Hope this helps.

  • Text overflown is not getting printed in the next page in ADOBE

    Hi Experts,
    I have a text field, where the users can enter the comments. In this text field if the user enters more than a page, a scroll bar appears in the print preview where the users can view the complete text what they have entered, but while printing the text which exceeds more than a page is not getting printed in the next page.
    I have set the subform properties as "Flowed" and the check box "Allow Page Break within content" is also been enabled, but still the extra contents is not getting printed in the next page.
    Please help me regarding this.

    Hi,
    This issue is in ADOBE, I think there is no concept of Window in ADOBE,
    The text box is placed inside a Subform.

    When I download pictures from my camera they use to also downloan in Cannon's Easy Photo. In my new computer they don't. I want them to. How???  Also how do i edit photos in Photoshop and print 4 to a page?

    Please study this, then come back with more specific questions

    Use of the tools is pretty much the same in all versions of the program.

  • Is there any way in Adobe Reader to limit printing to only one page at a time?

    We have a large piece of internal knowhow in the form of a pdf document that we don't want users to be able to print in one go as it would risk the document leaving the premises. We are quite happy with users using print screen for single pages, but that doesn't really produce readable results.
    So ideally we'd like users to be able to select print, but when they do it should only allow 'print current page' or just print the first chosen page instead of the whole selection. For instance, selecting pages 123 - 145 should only print page 123.
    I've looked in to various areas already. We are delivering this document through a secured version of Adobe Reader via Citric application streaming, so are able to customise the config.js file any way we want, however I've looked through the Java Reference Guide and haven't been able to identify anything that might satisfy our requirement this.
    I've also looked in to Document Actions such as "Document will print", but again (perhaps due to a personal lack of programming knowledge) am unable to find a way to fix the print option to a single page.
    Any ideas/suggestions much appreciated.
    Kind regards,
    Kaan

    The sponsor is not happy for low res printing either. As an organisation we should be looking at DRM more closely, and we've added to the requirement with this problem. We are also going to look in to the option of attaching metadata and scanning that at our exit points (e-mail, printers, usb's, etc.) so that users have free reign internally but can't send sensitive documents out. Obviously it's all going to be very expensive!
    Cheers for the respones guys.

  • Print JTable with Multiple pages and rows

    I took the printing example at http://java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/Programming/JDCBook/advprint.html#pe and modified it a bit to include the following:
    1) To Print Multiple pages
    2) To wrap lines that is too long for the column
    3) To print with a more proffesional style, so that it doesn't look like a screen capture is printed
    4) To align the numbers to the right and center column headings

  • Can I print to more than one printer from one Mac - at the same time?

    Hi,
    I'd like to set up a few printers in order to handle large jobs occasionally. But the print jobs are going to be coming from InDesign which I have on only one of the Macs. Can I do either of these...?
    a) connect more than one printer to a USB hub and send one print job to each of them so they print more or less simultaneously?
    ...or...
    b) connect one printer to each of my 3 other office Macs and send a print job to each of them (via Printer Sharing) from the Mac with InDesign on it, as well as sending a print job to a printer connected directly to that Mac?
    I'd hate to have to spring for 3 more licenses for InDesign just to print faster!
    TIA
    Rob

    Item A won't work.
    B will work but there will need to be a fair amount of manual involvement.
    For example, if you have one file and need multiple copies, and were looking to have each printer printing the same pages simultaneously (load balancing), then you would have to send a print job to each printer (one locally and one to each of the shared printers). There is no provision in OS X to print the file once and have it print on four machines simultaneously. There may well be third-party applications that can do this (there are several for Windows), but OS X client doesn't have this feature out-of-the-box.
    I also believe that the 'classes' facility in CUPS (aka print pooling in OS X Server) cannot do load balancing, as it is designed to send the spool file to the first available printer - not every printer in the pool. However, with printer pools, when the first printer is busy printing the next printer would receive the job when you hit the print button again. It is important that the pool consists of the same printers, otherwise you would get variation in the output.
    With regards to the three additional licenses, you could print the ID file to pdf, and then the other Mac's could print the pdf...
