Printer wasting paper

My printer is wasting paper using sometimes up to 20 pages to print a single page document.  It prints a smal portion of the document then spits out that sheet and contiues where it left off on the new sheet.I have checked all my settings and everything appears to be correct. Can someone please help me correct this??

Sorry to hear about your troubles. Could you post a little more information about your setup? Here is a quick list that should allow us to troubleshoot the issue.
What printer your using?
What operating system your using?
What application you are printing from?
Thanks!

  • Wasted Paper?

    I would like to know why between the computer & printer the printer always wastes one sheet of paper?
    No matter what HP printer I have had or Mac, the printer wastes paper every time.
    Think og all the people out there printing a document and a sheet of paper is wasted along with some wasted ink???
    PLS. STOP the madness!

    Hi Blzr,
    I believe in saving trees! I noticed you said you had a Mac. I can't help but wonder if maybe the following patch would stop the madness Critical HP Print Driver Update to address printing of an extraneous page.
    This HP Print Driver Update fixes an issue with HP Inkjet products that causes an additional page to be printed after the intended document has completed.
    I hope this resolves the issue you are experiniencing.

  • How to avoid wasting paper when printing

    I have PS Elements 12, MacBook Pro, OS X v. 10.7.5, printing to a large format Epson 7890 (24inch printer) via Epson printer driver. The printer wastes 30cm of paper before printing, and after printing, on a 24 inch roll of paper. Epson says this is a setting within Photoshop, so here I am asking the question. Can anyone help?

  • Printer has paper, but computer says it is out of paper and won't print from web

    I am having trouble getting the computer to recognize that the printer has paper. The printer will print copies that I put in it, but when I want to print from the web, it won't let me do it; it just tells me that the printer is out of paper. I printed a number of pages from the web yesterday with no problem at all. I have an HP Deskjet F2430.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I was trying to print off some material I had looked up on the web. When I saw what I was trying to print was going to be 40 pages, I did not want to continue printing it, and I did not know how to stop the printing, so I just pulled out my paper from the loader thing. I have since put paper back in the loader, but now my printer will not print anything, and says I am out of paper. I have tried and tried to fix this problem, and I really need to be able to print stuff, so I am pretty frustrated with this. I am a senior citizen and will admit that I am not all that astute with tech stuff. I would certainly appreciate some guidance with my problem. Thank you very much.

  • Incorrect Number of Pages Printing - Custom Paper Size

    Hello Everyone,
    I am new to Crystal Reports but have recently become responsible for supporting a report that my office has been using for several years.  We utilize a fairly simple Crystal Report to create temporary and guest parking passes in the parking services department of my University.  These passes simply take some data from our internal database and add the current and calculated expiration dates - again, pretty simple.  These passes are then printed on a custom paper stock roughly the size of a #10 envelope that has a hole in the paper to hang around a car's rear view mirror.  This solution has been working for years but we have recently run into a very annoying problem.
    The passes are being printed from our four customer service computers.  Each computer is identical - an HP dc7900 workstation running Windows XP SP3 and Crystal Reports 11.  The computers also have identical printers; HP DeskJet 6940s.  A couple of weeks ago the customer service representatives who handle the parking passes started experiencing a problem.  When they would print a the report (the temporary or guest pass) the printer would occasionally pick up the custom page, make a strange grinding noise, and spit the page out without printing.  It was only by putting the paper back in a second or third time that the pass would actually print.  This problem seems to happen randomly with some people experiencing the problem more than others.
    Like I mentioned before, this method of creating the passes has been working for several years.  We have been using the same Crystal Report and the same printers.  One of the four CSRs has not experienced any problems with her printing - the passes come out of the printer correctly every time.  Other CSRs are able to specify only printing page 1 and the pass will print correctly; even though it is only a one page report to start with.  There is only one CSR who has the problem most frequently - about 80% of the time - and she cannot use the "print page 1" technique.  We have tried to figure out what sets her apart from the others but they should all have identical machines.
    In troubleshooting the problem I have attempted everything I could think of.  Our first thought was to clean the printer or swap it out with a spare, but this did not solve the problem.  Since it was happening on multiple computers, we thought the report was to blame.  We checked to make sure all of the data was fitting withing the margins, there were no extra sections or section breaks, and that the report had not been corrupted somehow.  We also tried to create a new report from scratch - again none of these actions helped.  I then tried to upgrade one computer to all of the latest updates available for Crystal Reports 11 from the website.  These updates did not solve the problem either.  The final straw was to re-image the computer to a known good state, but this did not help.
    Since we are still not sure of the root cause of the problem I have posted a similar topic on HP's customer support forum.  I was hoping that someone in the Crystal Reports community may have some insight into my problems as well.  I have searched through the forums previously and that's where I got many ideas including updating, checking for hidden/over sized text, changing the print engine, and turning of Data Execution Prevention.  However, none of these suggestions improved our situation.  Does anyone have any insights as to what could be causing our problem?  It is getting very annoying for the CSRs and I feel bad that I have not been able to come up with a solution for them.
    To recap, here are my environment specifications:
    -Crystal Reports 11
    -Windows XP Service Pack 3 + all available Windows Updates
    -HP dc7900 Workstations
    -HP DeskJet 6940 printers connected through USB
    -Microsoft Office 2007
    -McAfee Anti-Virus 8.7i
    I appreciate any help or guidance anyone can provide.  Thank you in advance for your support.
    Jeff

    The "strange grinding noise" leads me to believe it is the printer or paper stock.  I know you said you changed printers, but did you swap the printer having the problem with the one that never does?  My HP color laserjet makes a strange grinding noise now that the fuser needs to be replaced (which I will be doing this weekend).  Usually the louder the noise, the worse the printout looks...
    Nothing in Crystal should cause a printer noise...

  • Email printed to PDF, PDF appears accurate in Acrobat XI Pro, when PDF printed to paper text missing

    HELP!!!
    I have text disappear from Outlook emails printed to PDF when I print the PDF files from Acrobat XI Pro to a printer.
    Here is a sample png from the PDF file printed out of Outlook - all the text is showing.
    However when I print the PDF from Acrobat to a printer, the document comes out of the printer with text missing as shown:
    The Acrobat print window shows all of the text that should be there as does Acrobat's view of the document.
    Also, if I save the file to an image, all of the text is there.
    I have tried different emails as well as different printers and the paper printed copies of the PDF emails are always missing text.
    Additionally I have tried coverting the PDF file to a PDF/A file and printing that and the same problems occur.
    Please send some tips as to how I can fix this!

    Hello Atul -
    i am having similar printing issues with Acrobat 10.1.4.
    in my case both PDFs made by me (from InDesign files) and other PDFs made elsewhere and sent to me are missing text when printed to paper -though they look fine both on-screen and in the preview pane, as Katy noted above.
    these PDFs print fine when i open and print from an older version of Acrobat (9.5.2).
    they will also print fine from 10.1.4 if i send them to another printer in the office, (a Dell Color Laser 3110cn), the printer i have a problem with is a Kyocera Mita KM-5053 - which leads me to believe that this is some kind of communication error between Adobe Acrobat Pro 10.1.4 and this printer, or perhaps a driver issue. ?
    I don't believe it's merely a preferences/print settings problem as i've gone pretty carefully through all the dialog boxes that seem relevant and have had no luck in solving the problem. Also, the text that's missing seems arbitraty - meaning, it's not merely hyperlinks or certain layers or text in specific type faces that won't print -it's content in the same text box, where other text does print, and it's blacks and colors and various point sizes - in short there are no easily discernable unifying circumstances among the text that does not print.
    obvioulsy an easy work around is to just print to the other printer or use the older version of Acrobat, but my concern is more that other people may be experiencing the same issues with PDFs i send them. so if it is a problem in the way i'm generating PDFs (although, as i said, text is also missing from PDFs i have received from other people and printed) i'd like to fix it quickly, so that people trying to print my PDFs don't end up with critical content missing.
    i'm on a 2008 MacBook Pro running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5, and using the Acrobat (X Pro v 10.1.4) that came with the CS6 Design & Web Premium package - although i'm looking at it online now and it's listed as Acrobat XI Pro..
    any input you have would be much appreciated.
    thank you,

  • Indesign CS3 & Epson r2400 not printing tabloid paper

    Indesign CS3 & Epson r2400 not printing tabloid paper. MAC OS 10.5.6. Have tried all configurations of page set up 11 x17 and 8.5 x 11 spreads, custom page sizes and default paper set up. The print comes out cut off. Epson says it's an Indd problem. Very inconvenient. Got any ideas?

    I'm having the same problem with IDCS3 5.0.4 and an Epson Stylus PRO 3800 on Mac OS X 10.5.6 with version 6.11 of the Epson driver. I have a 17x17 document in InDesign that I am trying to print on 17x22 paper. The paper spools a little less than half-way down and the print begins, but it prints about 1/4 of the image--it is as if it cropped at 8.5x11 at the top right corner of the image.
    I have had to resort to saving the file as a high-res jpeg and printing from Preview as a workaround. Unreal.

  • How to: if email empty, print by paper?

    Hello Gurus,
    Using the forum posts, I have implemented sending dunning letters per email.
    I want that if the debitor email address is empty then the dunning letter is printed by paper.
    I tried modifiyng user exit EXIT_SAPF150D_001 so that if the email address is empty, the output device is set to '1', that is printer: FINAA-NACHA = '1'
    So I create a dunning run (F150) as usual, selects the ouput device 'EMAIL' (created for email output)
    For customers without email address, there is a spool request created but it does not come out of the printer, it still contains the original output device 'EMAIL'. I don't know if I need more coding in the user exit or...
    Thank you for your help.
    Alex-

    Hello,
    I solved my problem the following way:
    - not use a specific EMAIL output device
    - use the usual paper printer device but in the user exit, add such code:
    IF T047E-LISTN = 'NET'.      "Internet für die Mahnstufe gewünscht
      IF SAVE_INTAD NE SPACE.    "Internetadresse gepflegt
        FINAA-NACHA = 'I'.       "Ausgabe über Internet
        FINAA-INTAD = SAVE_INTAD.
        FINAA-TEXTF = 'PDF'.
      ELSE.
        FINAA-NACHA = '1'.                 "Ausgabe auf Drucker
      ENDIF.
    ELSE.
      IF T047E-LISTN = 'FAX'               "Fax für die Mahnstufe gewünscht
    The first test (T047E-LISTN = 'NET') is an attribure of the dunning form: T.code FBMA --> dunning texts.

    Thank you everyone. I figured it out. I thought that you can use regular paper to print pictures from photos on Ipad. This is not possible. I was able to use regular print paper to print from my mail. My problem is solved!! 

  • B9180 Printing w/ paper longer than 19"

    Is there a way to print on paper up to 44 inches long?  I thought I read somewhere that this printer could accept paper up to 13 x 44 using the specialty media tray.  I have a panorama that is 42 x 12 just waiting to come to life.

    Hi J.  - yeah, this would be cool to know, however, I have trouble simply printing with 13x19. I always get, "paper too small, insert correct size" blah blah. So, I take the paper out of the media tray and put it in the specialty media tray and it sometimes works. - Then if I print 8x10 image to 8x11.5 paper, have everything set up properly, I get the error, paper too small, insert correct size. Then I have to put it either in one tray or the other and keep fingers crossed. I hope it works for you J.  I would love to hear how it worked out! peace
