Printing from Air output

Hi all,
When I go to print from an Air output, the formatting is a
little wacky. It appears that when it prints, it enlarges the
content to fill up the whole page, which leads to large fonts and
screen shots being chopped off.
Is there any way that I can use a print.css? I've tried so
far and it doesn't appear to work. I was hoping someone knows a
nice work-around that can make printing from Air look nice instead
of having everything blown up.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I tested this function after reading Moranis's post. Same for
me.
The solution suggested by Rick is OK if you want to print the
PDF version of the help - which has to be prepared an distributed
and which, depending on the size of the help, can be huge. And then
the user would still have to find the page corresponding to the
current topic.
But I think most users will just want to print the topic
displayed, and right-clicking was the simple way to do it and get
the same result as what you saw on screen.
I think there is an issue here for future improvement. For
those interested, there's a feature request form available at:

Good day.

Print from Flash Output

Using Word input, Robohelp 6
We are in the process of buying the software - and
unfurtulately my demo version ran out.
For online output, I prefer to use Flash, but RH 5X would
only allow you to print the current topic page. In order for the
reader to print a topic PLUS subtopics, you would need to create
chm output.
Does this limitation still apply with v 6?

Hi again
Can you search across a set of chm files as you can across
FlashHelp topics/projects?
Ummm, I think you may be a bit confused about FlashHelp. You
can't currently merge FlashHelp output and search across multiple
projects. Not in the basic FlashHelp output. Now if you are using
RoboHelp 6 and creating FlashHelp
Pro output and publishing that to the RoboHelp Server (an
additional component at an additional charge) it's possible, but
not with the base output.
Printing from .CHM also is fraught with issues. This stems
from the fact that when you do it, a large concatenated temporary
file is created. During that process, the links to your style
sheets become munged and are unable to be found, resulting in less
than satisfactory print.
Because of this, I'd suggest following the PDF route. After
all, that's the selling point of PDF. It faithfully reproduces in
print what you intended. Then provide a link to the PDF for those
that choose to create printed output.
Cheers... Rick

Distiller crash when printing from air 3.2

I have a problem with the new air runtime 3.2 when printing to pdf. For some reason when printing an movieclip through the pdf printer. It crashes.
-What i've tried so far.
Updated the air runtime // dev kit in flash builder. Changed the app xml and recompiled.
Removed the PDFX4 2008.joboptions (Suggested in some forums)
Tried to set the transparancy option to none (somewhere in the joboptions file).
What is odd, it works perfectly with the old air runtime engine 3.1. But after updating to air 3.2 it crashes.
This was the error message, it probably has something to do with text/embedded fonts (pure graphics seem to wordk). But i'm not sure. The error from the log file :
Acrobat Distiller 9.5

CID support library initialization completed.

I tried it with acrobat 8 (also worked with air 3.1)
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%

Stack:

%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%

I seem to have solved my own problem (will need some further testing but for now it is working). For some reason the display object that has to be printed needs to visible on the stage. So constructing an (sprite/movieclip with classic textfields) in memory and sending it directly as a printjob resolves into a crash. But if you attach it to the display/stage before sending the printjob, the problem seems to be resolved. Maybe this is the same reason why a printed sprite/movieclip gets corrupted after printing.

Printing from Script Output tab defaults to Tray 1

Using the print icon on the Script Output tab sends the document to our multi-tray printer (a HP LaserJet 4050TN) but defaults to Tray 1 - the manual input tray. There is no way to change it - even choosing a specific tray in the print properties doesn't appear to do anything.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Daniel

Followup.
This problem has been reported before:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/chromebook-central/xHLtvK4YK0I
The Duplex setting in the Cloud Print dialog works for the pending print job, but changes to the setting don't "stick". I've worked around by leaving a stack of our normal print paper in tray 1, in addition to the stack in tray 2. Chromebooks print to the Tray 1 by default; local workstations print to Tray 2. Ugly; will shorten life of device.

Should be doable with AIR2.0. See the flash.printing and flash.filesystem
packages

Missing Left line on all the invoices when printing from APPS

Hi Guys,
I need help here as i am learning XML. I customized one of my invoices RTF template and looks fine. When i generate the Invoice output from Apps through concurrent manager I am getting output with missing left line. When i tried to print from View Output its printing fine.
Is anyone came across this? Please let me know if anybody has solution.
Thanks in Advance,
Kumar

When you hit Print, is the dialog that comes up really small? If so, there's a triangle you can hit to the right of the Printer menu in the dialog that'll expand it to full size. This was something Apple added in 10.5 to simplify printing, but it's caused a lot of confusion.
If that's not it, are any of the menu items in the middle menu (the one that starts out saying "Layout") crossed out? If so, you're probably running in 64 bit mode and the printer driver probably does not work in 64 bit. If you're using the latest driver, then try launching Lightroom in 32 bit mode (in the Finder, do Get Info on the application and check Open in 32 Bit Mode).
If neither of those work, let me know.

Print from ipad3 to hp air printer?

I am struggling to print from my ipad3 to my new hp air printer (5520) despite being connected wirelessly from my ipad and my printer is connected and prints from my pc. Any ideas how I can print from my ipad? Thank you.

Good news and bad news:
With this as one option for my printer
ColorModel/Color Model: *RGB RGBW
This command
lpoptions -d HP_Deskjet_F4200_series -o ColorModel=RGBW
does change the lpotion output to
ColorModel/Color Model: RGB *RGBW
Notice the asterisk switched from RGB to RGBW
The bad news is if the option as reported by lpoption only has one setting it can;t be changed (at least I wasn;t able to). So in my case the paperfeed is
HPPaperSource/Source: *Tray1
and no matter what I tried I could not switch it to anything else.
So even if this is the source of your printers behavior there may not be anything you can do about it, at least from this point.
It is odd that the printer would only have a manual feed option as reported by CUPS. The printer does work normally from the GUI, correct? And there are no switches/settings on the printer for this?
Something else to try, as a test, is to connect the printer directly to the system and see if anything changes. I know with my printer hooked up through the Airport I cannot get to the ink levels and such or run any maintenance commands. I have to directly connect it to do that.
Sorry I don;t have more,
regards

Can i print from iPad wireless to my printer w/o getting an Air printer?

I have a router that can print from my PC or from my Lenovo laptop wirelessly to a Canon printer that is wired to the router via an ethernet cable. is there some way to get the iPad to see the printer without having to buy on of those Air Printers? i bought Print Central but that is cumbersome as i have to be using Print Central to have it print something. i can't just have an email open and be able to print. i just want to be able to print anything that is on the iPad screen.
Thanks

It's possible to use free software (Virtualbox and Ubuntu) to fix the broken iOS 5 Airprint printing with non supported printers. Here's a fix that works on my imac, but should also work on even a windows pc.
My setup is a lion imac with 2 non-airprint supported usb printers attached, a belkin wifi router that provides network connectivity for my imac, ipad, and iphone.
Install ubuntu 11.10 in a virtualbox vm. Specify to use the "Bridged Adapter" with "en1: WiFi (AirPort)" for the network hardware. Make sure the imac's usb printers are setup with sharing. On ubuntu, select System Settings > Printers and add your imac's shared printers to the list. Then start ubuntu's firefox and set "localhost:631" in the address. On the administration tab, under the Server section, check "Share printers connected to this system" and hit Change Settings button to activate it. Go back to ubuntu's printer setup, and right click on each printer and check that the properties Policies tab does not have any messages about it being unshared. If so, then go back to firefox and make sure the Server sharing checkbox is enabled. It may help to reboot.
Fire up virtualbox to be able to use AirPort printing to your imac's usb printers, when you want to print from the iphone or ipad. This also works on iOS 5.
Only problem is error message from iphone to check the printer for errors, even though it actually prints ok.

HT4356 I have an air-print enabled printer: HP Premium e-all-in-one C310. Can't print from iPad iOS6. They're on the same network, but have different IP addresses. On the iPad it's 192.16.1.126 and on my printer it's 192.168.1.133. Can I match them? H

I can't print from my iPad2 to my air-print enabled printer (HP Premium e-all-in-one C310). They're on the same network, but have differed IP addresses! The iPad IP is 192-168-1.126 and the printer is 192-168.1.133. That's the only difference I can see. Is there a way to fix this?

fyi:
you put periods between the numbers.
Each device needs a unique number.
for the 192.168.1 the right must number should vary. 192.168.1.x
the numbers you have look ok.
Power off all devices: wifi router, printer, ipad.. wait 10 minutes. poweron router ... wait power on printer wait then power on ipad.
cross fingers.

When I air print from my iPad, I can't limit the number of pages. It just says print and the number of copies and I end up with way more than I want. How do I set it to limit the pages?

When I air print using FingerPrint from my ipad, it doesn't let me limit the number of pages, and I end up with more pages than I want. It asks if I want multiple copies, but it doesn't ask me number of pages, or which pages. Is there a way to do this?

When you use an AirPrint compatible printer, you get this option for page range. You are using your computer as the server in order to print, so you probably have to set the range on the computer. While you can print from your printer with this app, I assume that it doesn't give you the same control that you get directly from the iPad when using an AirPrint printer.
Read this from the FingerPrint support site. Selecting the page range would be part of the formatting of a print job.

How can I print from my ipad to a network printer (not air enabled

I understand there are numerous HP printers that are "air-enabled" but the one I have is not. It is an HP Laserjet Pro 200 m251nw. Is there a way that I print from my ipad to this wireless printer?

You may have to use 3rd party apps like PrinterNShare.
