Printing from Explorer context menu prints in wrong scale

Hi,
I have a problem with a customer; when they right-click a PDF file and choose "Print" from Explorer context menu the actual printout is sometimes printed in the wrong scale, ie it looks zoomed. The same problem exists when printing PDF's from other applications as well, for example Outlook. If they print the same PDF one more time (by right-click-printing) the problem may resolve itself. Sometimes it's enough to print twice, other times they need to do it more times. The problem exists in several computers, which is why i want it to be a problem with some default-settings in Adobe Reader.
What might cause this behavior ?

So, 4 years have passed, and one would hope the problem solved itself in some update the last 4 years.
However, it has not. (Well, actually it was fixed for a short while. Then it broke again:()
I do have some fresh information that can help you devs at Adobe to maybe get closer to a solution.
Just before christmas (nov 22) i was doing a new attempt to solve the problem.
At the time Reader XI had been released, but not yet installed at the client. Crossing my fingers and praying to higher powers i downloaded XI and gave it a shot; and the problem actually went away! My theory was that finally some architectual change had been implemented; or parts of Reader had been rewritten for any reason. Anyhow, the problem was gone after nearly 4 years and both me and the client was happy!
Today the client called again. The PDF-printouts are zoomed again. Worse than ever. Now, EVERY PDF that's printed was getting zoomed (if printed from another program.). When printing, Reader flashes by the screen; so i guess the app does something like "adobe.exe /print %temp%\whatever.pdf" or however it works.
I immediately suspected that an update had been installed and broke the Reader again. This was the case. 11.0.06 had been auto-installed last week. After searching adobe site for 30 minutes i finally found the downloads required to get 11.0.05 installed and running again. *poof* problem gone. Every print is good.
SOO..
11.0.05 does not contain the bug that makes most printouts zoomed. (WORKS)
11.0.06 contains the bug again. (DOES NOT WORK)
So, whatever changes are in that update broke the Reader for the client again.
ADOBE: Hope this gets u closer to a solution!
PEOPLE: If you are experiencing the same problem as my client, please try my solution. It just might help you.
ps. oh, and where u download older versions from adobe.com is
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=10&platform=Windows
Install order:
- 11.0.01                AdbeRdr11000_mui_Std.zip
- 11.0.04 patch      AdbeRdrUpd11004_MUI.msp
- 11.0.05 patch      AdbeRdrSecUpd11005.msp
Im not sure if installing Multilanguage/All Languages makes a difference.

Run script from explorer context(right-click) menu

Hi,
I have an existing powershell script which removes certain filetypes from a directory however it requires the script and shortcut to be in the directory I want to process. I was wondering if it was possible to put this script (or a VBS equivalent) in a central
location, create an entry on the explorer context menu that when run would call the script using the current directory as the directory that the script is to process.
I don't mind if this is entirely powershell/VBS/.BAT or even if there is some 3rd party app that can easily form part of the process. I'd appreciate any recommendations how to approach this.
Thanks

The context menus are defined by registry entries.
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\PowershellScript]
@="My Powershell Script"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\PowershellScript\command]
@="CMD.EXE /C Powershell.exe -File C:\\Scripts\\MyScript.ps1 %1"
%1 is generated by the context menu and is the folder name
The script needs to accept this path as parameter.

I am trying to print from iphoto to my printer. When I click print on under File tab it says that a theme cannot be found and that a theme needs to be intalled? Why is this window popping up and how I install a "theme" on iphoto?

I am trying to print from iphoto to my printer. When I click print on under File tab it says that a theme cannot be found and that a theme needs to be intalled? Why is this window popping up and how I install a "theme" on iphoto?

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

try print from Microsoft Word XP: printer (HP Officejet 4500 G510n-z) lops off top of random lines

CD didn't work. Download software, didn't work when it came to plugging into usb port, don't even get a BACK button, nothing. Printer not recognized by laptop. Did all the solutions/uninstall/install etc. Printer is working though, prints out the exact same thing each time I press the green button on the printer, but is not connected to laptop. So it's not the printer, it works.
Now what?

Set Firefox to open a new tab without selecting it from the context menu by two-finger tapping in Lion

In Snow Leopard, I had somehow set the two finger tap to open a new tab either from a link on a page or from my bookmarks bar, without having to select "Open a new tab" from the context menu. I recently upgraded to Lion and I can't remember how I set this feature-- or is it just not available anymore?

There is a plugin for this and you can configure it as shown in the attached screen to open all links from the web page in a new tab by just clicking on it and not having to follow the native steps

From the context menu I want to always search using Google dot CA, not dot COM

I have already edited "keyword.URL" in about:config This didn't work for the context menu when you highlight a term to search and use the "Search Google for...
It works for typing the search term directly into the URL address bar, but not the search from the context menu.

I already had Google selected there. This still uses dot com for the resulting search page that opens, I wanted to have it open with google dot ca.
I just found this add-on from [http://mycroft.mozdev.org/search-engines.html?name=google.ca MyCroft Project]
Part way down this page, number 5, is [http://mycroft.mozdev.org/jsreq.html Google.ca Search Bar] . Click the previous link to add this engine to the list of the FireFox search engines (on the drop down menu) did the trick, so I guess I solved my own problem. See attached menu capture. I hope this helps someone else, as it took me quite a while to find. It wasn't found in any of the standard Add-Ons you can find at the usual Mozilla multiple pages of add-ons

Thank you!!! That was the problem--scale was set at 200% (don't know why)--when I reduced it to 100% it printed perfectly.
Thanks again for helping me resolve this problem.

Missing " Create Sample Java Client" from the context menu when debugging

Jdev 11.1.1.3 on Windows 7 x64
I have created an EJB - Session Bean from the ADF components and have put some logic into it with one public method.
I have exposed the method in the local interface.
I start the integrated server in the debug mode
When I right-click there is no option to do the sample client.
Am I missing a plug-in - like JUnit or something?
From the manual:
The integrated Oracle WebLogic Server runs within JDeveloper. You can run and test EJBs quickly and easily using this server, and then deploy your EJBs with no changes to them. You do not need to create a deployment profile to use this server, nor do you have to initialize it.
To run a sample client on the integrated Oracle WebLogic Server: In the Application Navigator, right-click on an EJB and choose Run.
Notice in the Message pane that Oracle WebLogic Server has been launched. Right-click on an EJB and choose Create Sample Java Client from the context menu. The default choice is to create a client for the integrated Oracle WebLogic Server, so click OK.
The client is created and opens in the code editor. If your session bean serves as a facade over JPA entities, code is generated to instantiate the query methods. If you exposed methods on your bean, the generated client contains methods that can be uncommented to call them.
After your EJB has been successfully started from the Application Navigator, right-click on the sample client and choose Run.

Shay,
Pretty much what I did exactly - except - since my apps are all using the local interface - I did not create the remote.
This may be an old habit - but generally it is not a good practice to do both - though this may have changed lately.
I have this app working and the EJBs are executing fine.
I used a testview and drug the method onto it - and was able to debug it that way - but still no create java client in the menu.
Is there any other place to find this other than the context menu? Then I can check to see if it is available.
I am using WLS 10.3 that ships with Jdev 11.1.1.3 (forgot that little bit) without any changes.

Explorer Context Menu Convert Sends Files to the Printer

Right-clicking PSD files and choosing "convert to PDF" sent the files to the printer!!! I had hoped it would have brought up a dialog to convert the files to PDF...

All that context menu stuff is handled by the registry. The explorer application simply gets its information from there. So Labview can write to a registry key to add itself to handle a file type. This is why you can have multiple applications handle the same type and show up in the context menu.
My point is that after I run LV 8.0, I will see both LV 8.2 and LV8.0 in the context menu (along with a couple of others). However, after I run LV 8.2, the LV8.0 option is removed. I'm guessing that this is related to a program's behavior in checking and setting the registry key to make sure that it is the default handler for the appropriate file types. NI would need to strengthen this code to be sensitive to previous versions of Labview.
A rough example of how to do this is at http://www.codeproject.com/w2k/extendingshell.asp

Cannot print from Address Book! Print freezes and will not proceed.

I want to print an address list for Christmas cards. When I select the Group, select all and select Print I get the option box. I then select my printer and use the down arrow to open the dialog box that shows I am printing from Address Book and gives the different forms I can use (ie list, label, envelope) as well as the fields to include in the list. Once I have everything selected I click the Print radio button. All of the information under the Address Book options line disappears. Print remains highlighted and my printer Que never opens or appears. If I manually open the printer there is no print job showing. At this point the Address Book application is frozen. I cannot select cancel on the print dialog box (I can click it, but it does not highlight and it does not close the dialog box! In order to get out of this situation I have had to close Address Book. The quit option on the menu does work and Force Quit is unnecessary.
I actually spoke with AppleCare on this issue on Friday 05 Dec 2008. The tech I spoke with knew of no other such situations, but when I started checking on this discussion page I see a posting from REECO from clear back on 24 Sept 2008. His posting can be found at http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8161605&tstart=0
The technician had me do several things. One was to pull my Caches folder out of my system Library folder. He also had me remove some Address Book preference items. The end result of these actions was a Mac Pro that would not boot! (The failure followed an Address Book crash with a "KERPROTECTIONFAILURE" and the message that some QualityMedia plugin might have created the problem!)(I could find no such plug in either on my system or via Google search!) The tech had asked me to boot to safe mode by booting while holding down the shift key untill the spinning gear appeared. The machine never progressed to a successful boot! I ended up having to use a 2nd hard drive and physically place it in internal slot 1 on my Mac Pro proceeding to reinstall Tiger! The bad news is that this did NOT solve my printing problem.
If I am attempting to print from a new install with just the Apple address card and the Owner's card in Address book the print proceeds fine. Once I import my data I am back to the same print failure.
Some diagnostic steps I have tried. I have tried USB local printers and bonjour printers. I have used Epson and Canon printers. I have tried to print to a PDF. I have tried printing from another computer (12 inch PowerBook) with identical results!
At this point I am going to call AppleCare Monday morning and see if anyone there has any more suggestions. Any suggestions this forum has will be received gratefully!

I was having the same crash or "just not print" problem as seen in other posts. I was able to fix it however, by making changes in some of the address cards I was going to print. By editing the "parent", "child", "spouse" fields which will get added to the name line of the label, I was able to get labels to print (or pdf preview) without difficulty.
I did not try and determine exactly what the problem was, but basically did a data cleanup. Since I didn't know that those fields would print, I had previously included information beyond just a name in the fields, like birthdates and such, eg. "Jimmy - 12/1/05". After either removing the fields entirely where I didn't really need them, or just cleaning them down to names only, they printed just fine. I'd considered trying to disable the feature entirely but the data cleanup was not hard for a dozen or so names.

Printing from windows xp to printer on aeb

I have a network set up using an airport extreme basestation which provides internet access to a powerbook and a pc laptop running xp.
this works flawlessly.
I also have a canon ip3000 printer connected to the basestation which i want to use from both computers.
of course from the mac this was a matter of 2 clicks and it worked.
on the pc, i've spent about an hour going through a gazillion windows, holding the machine's hands every step of the way, downloading drivers it couldn't find and so on. i followed instruction on ifelix http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/1004.html step by step. there were no errors while doing this and everything seemed to work.
now when i set the pc to print a test page at the end of the installation process, it does starts spooling and cueing the page and after about 10 seconds complains "the printer is not responding".
meanwhile, the printer _IS responding and is starting to print the page!
windows then decides - obviously after it has sent about a 3rd of the first page - to _re-start printing - this is NOT something i have told it to do - and complains again "printer not responding"...
after about 3 or so attempts, each of just over a 3rd of a page in length, i have 2 pages of garbage and windows claiming that the printer doesn't respond....
does this sound familiar to anyone?
does anyone have any pointers on how to solve this?

was offline for a while - hence the delay in replying to this.
thanks for your help so far
today i reinstalled the printer driver from scratch with the printer connected directly to the computer
Does the printer work correctly when directly connected to the PC?
yes it does. flawlessly.
Are you using the correct driver?
yes and latest version of it - freshly downloaded today from the manufacturers site
It should be noted that some printer drivers were never designed to work unless the printer was connected directly.
the printer in question is a canon pixma ip 3000 - according to the compatibility list on your site it was added by apple as being compatible...
Bonjour/Rendezvous shouldn't make a difference, but you may want to try it.
at least it takes away m$ insanity in installing drivers and proves the point that interface design __can be done properly, even under windoze... :)))
the problem that i have at the moment is as follows;
the printer works perfectly when connected directly to the pc.
when connected to the basestation, i use bonjour to find it and install the printer driver (which was already installed in the system to get the printer working when connected directly to the computer, now i just create a new setup for use with the basestation.)
I click "print test page". the printer starts printing, at about 1/3rd of the page it stops and waits. after a while (between half a minute and one minute) the page is ejected by the printer and it starts a new attempt to print the page - note: i did NOT instruct it to do so after the initial "print test page" click.
this second page is printed till about 60 or 70%, after which a 3rd attempt is made at re-printing the page, this time without a page-feed continuing on the second sheet of paper. at the end of that sheet, the computer complains that the test print has failed. in true windows fashion, it does not provide any feedback of what has actually gone wrong.
somehow i have the idea that the software is expecting some kind of acknowledgment from the printer that it has started or maybe even a progress report at regular intervals. and somehow this doesn't seem to come through...
but this is pure guessing - i have no further data to support this other than the sequence of events described above, which is consistent and repeated at every print attempt
if anyone has any suggestions on what to try next, that would be more than welcome
thanks again
