Printing a selection from a web page, word document etc.

It embarrasses me to say, I cannot find a way to print a selection--a paragraph for example--from a web page or a Word document. In Windows it's done with a few mouse clicks: file/print/selection. I'm sure there must be a simple way to do it in Leopard, but what is it?

While there is no "print selection" command, you can use one of the globally available services to open a new window in textedit containing your selection, then print it.
Select something and then go to Safari>Services>TextEdit>New Window Containing Selection
and a new textedit window will open with your selection pasted in. Now you can print it.
I suppose if you do this a lot, you could write a short applescript that'll do this, print it, and quit textedit, and then stick the script in the script menu. Just a thought.

  • When I print a selected area of web page, it doesn't fit to the paper. The end of each page are cut off. Is there any solution?

    When I print a selected area of web page, it doesn't fit to the paper. The end of each page are cut off.
    I'm very sure my printer is set cirrectly.
    Can't Firefox shrink to fit when I want to print a selected area of web pages?
    This has never occurred in IE.

    File >Page Setup -- check your margins, I have set size to 85% which is probably left over from some problem. Also check your printer that it is correctly set to the size of the paper.

  • Silent print a PDF from a web page using Flex. We are targeting Windows and Mac with Arcobat reader installed

    We are planning to Silent print a PDF from a web page using Flex. We are targeting Windows and Mac with Arcobat reader installed. I have tried using the AIR appliaction and it worked, But our requirement is NO INSTALL to the user machine for the silent printing. It is just from web page and silent printing to the default printer to the desktop/Laptop. Can anyone share your thoughts and experience with us. It will be very helpful..
    For AIR : I tried the thread Re: AIR and PDF showing/silent printing

    Hey CodeMonkey & Ross,
    Did you either of you ever find a solution? I'm stuck too, it seems I can get remote printing on all these PDFs to work but it just prints a blank page since I've been using Javascript in the browser, not Adobe's (they are Engineering drawings that I do not have permission to edit so I can't just insert code into them but I need to make work instructions). I've been scouring the internet for hours now, it seems that this thread is the only relevant/useful one at this point. No one else was trying to achieve this for similar reasons to mine.
    Thanks guys,
    Lox

  • Why can I not print anything from a web page?

    Why can I not print anything from a web page?

    Thank you, but I still haven't solved my problem. I tried the reset suggestion. But I cannot find print.print_printer preference. Maybe the word "printer" is to be replaced with the name of my printer. But because of the warning that making any changes is a very dangerous thing to do, I hesitated to do anything.
    I have located the Print to file option, but it is not checked.
    This problem did not exist before the Firefox update of about 6 months ago. Today I downloaded the latest Firefox update, hoping that would solve my problem, but it did not.
    Thank you for your continued assistance.

  • Suddenly, system produces a "microsoft image writer," freezes, then crashes when I try to print from a web page. This is new, just past week or so.

    For the past week or two, when I desire to print from a web page or email and hit the "print" command, instead of my printer name the printer window displays 'microsoft document image writer." Then it asks me to save (in which case it appears in my documents) or print to file. Then, if it works, it produces a window with an image of the page. And once or twice, I can then print. But usually, it produces a blank screen, an endless hourglass, a "not responding" message, and then the blue screen of death.

  • Initiating report printing from a web page to a network printer

    I want to print to a user's network printer from a servlet. My development environment is a single machine so everything works just fine. The production environment is 3-tiered -- database server, web server and client. In the 3-tiered configuration the PrintReport class executes on the web server and seems to get lost. How can I print in the 3-tiered environment and still give the user the chance to change the printer or the print attributes? My java code currently displays a print dialog box to the user in the 1-tier environment.

    I don't think you're going to be able to do that from a web page. Imagine if you visited my site and I decided that your printer should print every image in my "Special Donkey Pictures" directory...
    You might be able to create an applet that you can feed the webpage into - into a JTextPane for instance, implement Printable and print from that. I say that without any real knowledge of Applets or what sort of security/signing issues there might be with that.

  • Create a PDF from a Web Page

    I was on Acrobat pro 6.  Now I am trying out Acrobat X pro ("v10").
    1.  I create a pdf file from a web page.  When I click on a link in the new pdf file, it automatically opens that link in a web browser.  Previously, in v 6.x, it defaults to "Append to the Document".  How can I set Acrobat X Pro to default to "Append to Document" ?
    2.  I find the pdf file created from a web page has no page numbers.  Again, in v6.x, there was page numbers in those files.  How can I get page numbers included in the header/footer?  Is the header/footer configurable?
    3.  In v6.x, when I want to convert a web page (into pdf) that is behind a password -- because it includes links, whereas printing to pdf does not -- I would first get the login page (in pdf).  Then I can type in my password in the pdf file and click on go (right click and select Append) and I would get the next page in pdf.  Now, v10 no longer does that.  I keep getting different errors depending on the web site.  e.g. I was testing on this web site, and get "SyntaxError: invalid XML tag syntax".  Am I missing something or is there a "new" way to get the same result in v10?
    TIA

    Hi paulp14382584,
    It seems that you have removed the Create PDF from webpage tool from the toolbar by mistake. Please don't worry I will help you to get this issue fixed.
    1) Open the Acrobat on your computer.
    2) Right click on the toolbar & select Edit Current Tool Set form the list.
    3) Edit tool set window will pop up on your screen.
    4) Please Click on the 'Create'  option from the list on the left hand side & then select ' PDF from Web-page' from the drop down list.
    5) Then click on the small button ( + & arrow sign towards up ) to add it to the tool bar.
    6) Hit Save to confirm the changes.
    This will add the Create PDF from web-page tool on the tool bar.
    Let me know if you experience any issue.

  • HP Photosmart Plus B209a - Won't print correctly straight from the web.

    When printing directly from a web page using a print icon on the web page my printer prints the entire web page, sometimes jumbled up instead of just printing the page it should. I can temporarily fix this by going to: File → Print Preview → Print Frames and changing the setting from “As laid out on screen” to “Only the selected frames”. Is there any permanent fix to this?
    My operating system is Windows XP Home Edition SP2 and IE 6.0.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Regards

    Thanks for that. I have just updated it to IE8 and it now works as advertised.

  • Why does Acrobat suddenly not work on my Mac (won't open pdf files from a web page), yet I can open them from my iPhone? Everything worked fine yesteray.

    Hello:
    I have a Mac running OS 10.8.5 and I use Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader. Today for some reason, any time I try and access a pdf file from a web page, it won't open. I get a blank window. PDF files already on my computer open fine and I can create PDF files from Word docs, but I can't download or view any pdf file from any web page. Strangely, PDF files on web pages open just fine on my iPhone.
    I checked that both my copy of Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader are up-to-date. They are.
    I checked that my copy of Firefox is up-to-date. It is. And nothing changed with Firefox within the last 24 hours.
    I am a humble computer end-user. I am baffled as to why this would suddenly not work. I have not changed any settings, etc. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.
    I checked your instructions you sent and as far as I can tell all of my settings, etc for Firefox (plugin updates and preferences) are correct but I am having the same problem.
    However, everything works in Safari. I don't have time to attempt to diagnose why Firefox no longer works. I will just switch to Safari.
    Many thanks.

  • I did a COPY of some text from a web page, and then did a PASTE into notepad.exe (Windows). The text from each line was duplicated -- on the line! Instead of "Fred", it became "Fred Fred".

    I just recently installed Firefox for the first time. It seems nice and quick. The version is reported as: "10.0.1".
    I wanted to save some text from a web page, so navigated to that page, selected the text, and pressed the Control-C combination to COPY the selected text to the buffer. For example, the text I selected looked something like this:
    Harry
    Ron
    Hermione
    Hagrid
    Albus
    NOTE: Each line of text has a small icon to the left of the text.
    It is not reasonable to COPY and PASTE each line individually, as there can be hundreds of lines of data. I recall, however, that
    doing a COPY and PASTE on this data into Microsoft's Excel will produce cells which have the icons included in the cell, but unfortunately one cannot can't get rid of them! At least I've never found a way to remove them, but that's another issue. :)
    Once I'd done the COPY operation I switched to a Notepad window and did a PASTE operation. To my surprise, the text from each line was duplicated. It looked like this:
    Harry Harry
    Ron Ron
    Hermione Hermione
    Hagrid Hagrid
    Albus Albus
    Thinking that there might be something unusual about the web page I looked at the source, but it appeared "normal" -- that is, as expected.
    Note: I have done this operation several times before, and have never seen this occur before.
    Note: In the actual data some of the lines have quoted text in them. Curiously there is weird behavior on these lines. In some cases the entire line is shown only once. (These occur at the top of the line, and the quoted text is at the beginning of the name.)
    When quoted text appears "later" in the name, in some cases the quoted text is duplicated, and in other cases the quoted text is missing altogether! I have also noticed an error with the quoted text, and so will be reporting that to the web site which generates the HTML.
    Note that each line of "text" is "anchor text", so if I click on a name the browser navigates to a page for that name.
    I believe that the problem is that the COPY operating in Firefox is not simply copying the visible text, but also the ALT=
    Below is a sample of what the source HTML looks like:
    &lt;a class="lnk" target="_blank" href="http://details.aspx?id=Harry">
    &lt;img width="16" height="16" alt="Harry" class="tb_icon" src="http://.../Harry.gif"/>
    &lt;span>Harry&lt;/span>&lt;/a>
    <br/>
    (Because of the true length of the lines in the source HTML, I have stripped out the actual URL of the site.)
    To make sure I wasn't imaging this difference I repeated the process within Internet Explorer. In that browser I did not get duplicated data.

  • Printing a selection from a document using HP E Print

    Hello all,
    Is it possible to print a selection from a document using e-Print? I currently can emailt he entire document to my printer however that is it.

    Hi dayanks101,
    Thank you for being a member of the HP Support Community. I see that you would like to learn how to choose which pages print from a multi-page document.
    Since you have the document in an email already it’s fairly easy to choose which pages you would like to print if you are using the HP ePrint app. I’m presuming that you have already download the HP ePrint mobile app to your iPad and added your email account to the app.
    Please follow these steps after you have opened the HP ePrint app
    Choose the email with the document you need to print.
    Please choose the document you want to print (for my screen shot the file is titled “scan 2014_05_29 08-55-01.pdf). This will load the document with the available print options.
    Please tap on “Page Range”. It will give you the options of ‘Single’ or ‘Multiple’.
    If you are choosing to print just one page please choose ‘Single’ and then choose the page you would like to print.
    If you are choosing to print a range of pages please choose ‘Multiple’ and then choose the page range you would like to print.
    I hope this helps you print just want you need.

  • Acrobat crashes when creating a PDF from a web page

    Whenever I ask Acrobat to create a PDF from a web page, it crashes halfway through the process.  Here is an example from the BBC:-
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-19585341
    Printing to PDF from the browser does not produce an accurate document.  The font is too big, and most of the pictures do not appear.
    I use Acrobat X Pro version 10.1.4.
    This is a PC problem.  On the Mac it works.

    The problem I mentioned is peculiar to Acrobat 10 and also to my PC.  On a Mac I can create PDF's from webpages normally.
    I also notice that when printing to PDF from Opera only the first page comes out.  (Using Firefox all pages are printed to PDF.)

  • Using Adobe Pro X I cannot create a PDF from a web page.

    After a recent upgrade from a previous version of Firefox, I am now unable to create a PDF from a web page using the Adobe Pro toolbar on the web page.  A "save as" box appears and then the conversion process dies.  I can print the page using Adobe Pro as my printer and it works fine. I can create other docs with Adobe Pro.   How do I fix this on my browser?
    Thanks.

    how do I set a new account as default in safari when I send emails from a web page
    thanks in advance

    In the Composing pane of Mail's preferences window, look for the pop-up menu labeled "Send new messages from." Select the desired account there.
    Note, though, that this won't change the behavior when replying to a message... in that case, the reply will be sent from the account that received the message, unless you specify differently at that time.
