Printer will print only partial page

I have a HP all in one printer C6250. Sometimes but not always it will print only a partial part of a page or just select information. For instance, I tried to print out a request form for an absentee ballot and it printed only the bottom part of the page. All the print on the page was the same.
The day before, I printed out some concert tickets and airline tickets (in color) and they printed fine.
Last week, I tried to print a rebate form and only parts of the form printed (mainly the top part).
I have the latest drivers as I ran a test and all ink cartridges are full. I have to admit that I don't have all HP cartridges but the black one is an original one.
I also ran a print test page today and only the header printed with some partial character marks under.
I have windows vista operating system.

My HP C6380 printer only prints a partial page in Excel or Publisher. All others print fine. K

Prints only partial page

My C4635 only prints what it wants to. Previously I used a C3180, but pop-ups were irritating so I went to the Control Panel and tried to delete it. Since then it says "deleting-offline" and has for several weeks. I assume I need to get rid of the C3180. If so, how do I do it? Norm

Phillip -- that did seem to work. Thanks!
One thing of note, after sleuthing it out a bit more, I realized that this happened after I was prompted by Apple's Software update to update the driver to version 1.1.1 (I think that was the number). that update seems to have broken Acrobat, so returning to the one on the Adobe site restores the functionality.
Perhaps this will be an alert to others not to install the Apple driver when prompted, though it's easy to let that slip by.

Canon printer only printing a partial page.

I updated to 10.10.1 and my Canon MG5522 will only print part of the page and then it faults for lost of communication. I've tried deleting the Canon folders in the Library and emptying the trash. Restart the computer and installed the new printer driver from Canon for my printer. Added the printer but it would still only print a partial page. Any ideas on what to try to fix the problem. Thanks!!

Just to be sure it is not an OS or driver fault, connect the MG to the Mac via USB. This will either create a new printer automatically or you will have to open Printers & Scanners and add the printer. Then see if you can print a full page.
If that works, disconnect the USB cable to the MG and reconnect to the wireless access point. Then open Safari and enter the IP address of the MG as the URL. This will connect to the internal web page of the MG and here you will see the strength and quality of the wireless signal. If either is below half then try restarting your wireless router so that it picks up another channel, working on the assumption that the current channel being used is crowded.
Also, if your wireless router provides 2.5Ghz and 5GHz channels, try disabling the 5GHz channel and restarting the Mac and MG to see if that improves the wireless stability.

My unusual (?) printer issue -- Prints only partial lines when printing in black (part 2)

I have been using my HP Officejet J4680 with my Win7 PC for several years and relatively problem-free -- until about six months ago.
My printing issue might be rather odd. So odd, in fact, I’m not sure how to succinctly describe it. I’m not too techie, but I will try….
This printer will print some lines correctly, other lines print only partially, and some lines don’t print at all.
This oddity happens ONLY when I print in black. When changing the color of the text to any other color other than black the page does print correctly.
Further, this issue seems to occur ONLY when printing certain things/files/formats. For example, material from most websites will print correctly. As will most .PDF files. Printing files such as .txt, .doc, .wps, etc., seem to be the most problematic.
Fixes I have tried include:
Uninstalled and reinstalled printer
Run HP’s diagnostic tools (including checking for any driver updates)
Installed several new black ink cartridges
Cleaned and re-aligned printer head
Lastly, the “copy” feature continues to produce good results. These problematic symptoms seem to occur only while using the “print” function.
Short of relegating this printer to the trash, I’ve tried everything I can think of. Help/ideas/suggestions appreciated.

Printing only partial photos

I'm working on an iBook G4 and printing to a HP all-in-one 6100 series printer. I am sending a photo 4x6 size, two to a page to the printer. Sometimes it prints fine, then other times it only prints a sliver of the picture and then the printer seems to freeze. Any fix for this? I'm wasting lots of photo paper! Thanks in advance!

@Druffer, Welcome to the Forums!
If you were to save the attachment to your computer, you should have more options within your settings to print only the pages you need, opposed to the entire document that you may not fully need. You should see these options in programs such as Microsoft Word.
I hope this helps, if you need any further assistance, please let me know!

Printing only changed pages

In my department, we produce large technical manuals that are distributed to users around the world. When small changes are made to the manuals, we only distribute the changed pages (including the back side of the changed page since the documents are printed double-sided). Is there an automated way to only print the changed pages with the necessary back pages?

Rick Quatro at http://www.frameexpert.com has a plugin that will print only changed pages; I don't see it listed on his website at the moment, but if you contact him he'll be able to give you more details.
Rick's very, very familiar with the complications of dealing with changed pages in FM.

Try one of these:
1/ In Adobe, deselect "Choose Paper based on PDF size" - you can leave the "Auto Rotate and Center" on.
2/ In Adobe, go into Advanced and choose "Print as Image".
3/ If this is a Canon H1 Fiery RIP, go into Printer Properties, Printing Preferences, Layout, Rotate 180degrees and choose "Large Paper Only."

Using Windows XP (Home Version)
Product # CB419A

Could be a number of issues. First could be a bad or not connecting transfer rollers which moves the toner from the drum to the paper. Only way to test is a half test by putting paper on the manual tray and printing a self test. When the back edge enters the printer, open the toner door to stop printing. Remove the toner and flip back the cover over the toner drum to see if there is any image on the drum. If image is present then it could be transfer roller issues. Use the service manual and look under engine diagnostics in the index and it will direct you to a page that shows how to perform an engine test. Do the test to see if you get a sheet of paper with lines on it. If you get lines, then the issue could be the formatter. If no lines and the shutter has been removed then I would think you are having high voltage issues. You may have to bring the printer in for service.

Photosmart All in one C4780 Printer prints only blank pages, connected to a MacBook Pro

My Photosmart C4780 all in one printer which is connected by USB to my MacBook Pro OS 10.6.8 prints only blank pages, and no text; I have turned it on and off; disconnected and reconnected; uninstalled the HP software and reloaded and updated drivers, firmware and patches. The scan function works and scans the document to my Mac. The copy function also does not work; when I press the OK function next to the copy icon, nothing happens

Hi mpmehta
I understand you are not able to print in black and the copy function isn't working.
I will be happy to assist you with this.
Make sure the printer is connected directly to wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector)
Try and print a hardware self test on the printer to find out if it is a hardware or
software issue. Click Here.
I have included a document for not being able to print in black.
Here is a document for the copy function not working.
If you require further assistance please provide the following so I can assist you better.
Did the configuration page print?
Any black print on the page?
What are the ink levels?
Are you getting a error when trying to copy?
Please let me know the results.

Page breaks in form - can't print only one page?

Hi guys
This might be a really simple question - but how do I insert page breaks into my form?
I have 8 pages in my document, and it is showing me this, so there seems to be no issue until I try to print only one page, and the whole document prints out.
Is there an easy fix to this?
Cheers
Jess

Hi,
how are you printing? Control+P? File > Print? or a Print button?
In any case the print command should bring up a print dialog, where you can set the pages that you want Acrobat to print. By default it is set to 'All' pages.
Hope that helps,
Niall

Can I print only odd pages or even pages?

Hi,
I would like to be able to print only odd pages, then turn the stack over and print the even pages. I often need to reprint manuals from pdf files for my clients. Some need to be printed this way. My old PC would do this. The tech support at HP says the problem is the Mac printer software doesn't have the option to print only odd or even pages. -Kentar

Hi kentar,
You wrote:
"I often need to reprint manuals from pdf files for my clients. "
You can do this with Adobe Reader.
Simply press Command-P to summon the Print dialogue box, and then in the Subset box, select Odd pages from the drop-down menu.
Check the box for 'Reverse Pages' if you like.
I generally print the odd pages first in reverse order, and then just turn the stack over and then print even pages in forward order.

HP 6510 printing only blank pages after changing print cartridges

Hi,
My HP 6510 is printing only blank pages after I installed new print ink cartridges. I tried cleaning the print heads, aligning the printer... which did result in some pages printing with a little color (but it seemed "off" to me). That said, when I try to print a regular document from my PC it only prints a blank page.
I can't seem to figure this one out on my own - please help!
Thanks!
Chloe

The document here may help resolve black not printing on your Photosmart 6510. Be sure the cartridges are vented as shown in solution two.
Is your printer still in warranty? You can check with HP's warranty tool here.

Printing only 1 page not whole document?

When you are proofing a page, you must remember to check the page range button as it defaults to all after each page is printed. How do you change this default? We have printed many copies when we are thinking that only one page will go. We toggle between idd5 and pagemaker 7. When you print a page in pagemaker 7.0 it keeps printing that page until you select another option. We are reluctant to move up because of lack of compatability with our print devices and the ppd's. Thanks

Perhaps some knows of a script that can do this. Have you tried asking on the InDesign scripting forum?
Have you considered exporting to PDF, extracting the single pages, printing them from Acrobat or Reader? With full Acrobat, you can create a document from all open PDF files, then you can print that collection of pages from Acrobat. Another approach would be to placed the saved single-page PDFs into a new InDesign file and printing that file.
Yes, it's extra steps to create one, but if you have many singles to print, collecting them in a file would let you print as many singles as are in your assembled document in one print command.
