Printing from MS Word

I am printing from Word.  The document in pdf is not A4 and is too short.  The top of the document is not printed.  How do I set the default to A4 in pdf?

You have to set that in the printer preferences. Go to the Start>Printers and right click on the Adobe PDF printer to set the default settings. You should be able to set A4 as the default paper size.

    Printing from the Word to the pdf printer,
    I wanted to print a Word document using the pdf printer but sounds this printer doesn’t provide a dialogue box to choose where to save the printed pdf file. It prints the document but couldn’t know where does the acrobat stick it!
    What might be the problem?
    Is there some option that controls this behaviour?
    Thank you for the help,
    Best
    Jamal

    If you select the properties (or preferences) when right clicking on the Adobe PDF printer, there is a Settings tab (if not select the Advanced button on the general tab) and select the settings tab. There are selections there for requestion the file name and other items related to PDF creation. Sorry if my selections are not clear, I am on the wrong computer to check the correct selections for you, so give it a shot and try various selections until you find the settings.

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

    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?

  • Why won't my officejet 4500 wireless print from microsoft word or excel?

    My new officejet 4500 wireless printer will not print from microsoft word or excel.  The paper goes through the printer but there is nothing printed on it.

    Hello.
    It seems like the black cartridge could be running out of ink. Since most of what is commonly printed from MS word and excel might be black text, this is the first reason I can figure out why your printer is not printing only from these applications.
    Check this document to see if your printer is performing good and to check if ink is coming out from all of the cartridges.

  • Unable to print from MS Word: "The Directory Service is currently unavailable"

    Hi! I hope you can help me. Please note that I have a Windows XP computer (Home Edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 3, 32-bit). When I initially installed a Brother printer (model# MFC-J475DW) in Dec 2013, I had no problems printing documents. My problems
    started about 2 days ago. I got an error message after I opened a MS Word document (.doc) and clicked the Print button to print a document. The Printer "Name" field was empty.  I clicked the dropdown box in that window and saw 3 options:
    1 - Brother MFC-J475DW Printer
    2 - Brother PC-FAX v.3.2
    3 - PaperPort Image Printer
    When I selected "Brother MFC-J475DW Printer," a Microsoft Word dialog box appeared, saying the following:
    "The printer has not yet responded, but the Microsoft Office program may be able to proceed without printer information. Do you want to continue to wait for the printer?"
    I can either click on a Yes button or a No button. Either way, I'm brought back to the Print page. When I click on the OK button to start printing, another error message appears:
    "Windows cannot print due to a problem with the current printer setup. Try one or more of the following:
    *Check the printer by printing a test page from Windows.
    *Make sure the printer is turned on and online.
    *Reinstall the printer driver."
    I have a choice to click either OK or Web Help. I click the OK button to close the box, then return to the Print page. When I click on the "Find Printer..." button, the Find Printers window appears for a moment, then is replaced by this error message:
    "The Directory Service is currently unavailable"
    On Friday (Mar 21), when the error first occurred, I was able to print a letter in MS Word after un- and re-installing the Brother printer and its drivers. The problem reappeared the next day (Saturday). I don't want to do that every time to print a single
    page, so would you please recommend a solution?
    By the way, I am able to print a test page from the printer in Control Panel, and I can print from a Notepad document. Also, when I go to the Control Panel, select "Printers and Faxes," then right-click on the printer (Brother MFC-J475DW Printer),
    then select the Ports page, there's a check mark next to USB001 (not LPT1 or COM1). When I click on the "Configure Port..." button, I get this error message:
    "An error occurred during port configuration. This operation is not supported."
    Earlier today, I got a reply from brother.com's tech support (thanks to the 1 year warranty). They said the problem is on my PC, not their printer. However, they provided links to completely uninstall the printer, then reinstall it. I did just that, but
    the problem persists. I'll download OpenOffice.org's Office Suite to see if I can print documents with their software instead of MS Word. Until then, I await any suggestions.
    I hope this info is helpful. Thanks in advance for your help.

    I downloaded OpenOffice and am able to print documents (in particular, the same document I created in MS Word). I guess MS Word is to blame. I believe the issue is concluded, but I'd welcome any comments about the Active Directory, as I might have a problem
    with OpenOffice in the future regarding that.

  • Printing from Microsoft Word

    When I print my documents from Microsoft Word, they will never print with color.  Is there a place where I can change from printing only black and white to printing color as well?

    dumb question - are you trying to print a black and white document in color - sorry had to ask.....
    if you've changed your black and white document to color, try to save it first then try printing it.
    it should print in color if you can do a test page in color....
    ok - try this one - last resort....click on word - preferences - print and select - print background colors and images.

  • Problem Printing from Microsoft Word 2008 after Microsoft Autoupdate

    Hi
    I have a 1.83 GHz Intel Core with 1 GB 667 MHz RAM running OS 10.6.4
    I also have an HP Photosmart C4480 connected by USB
    I updated Microsoft Office via the autoupdate and now when I print from Word (and when I print pdf documents from Word) every 3rd line prints kind of lightly, so the page alternates between light and dark. I tried printing from other programs (non-Word pdfs and excel) with no problem...
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!!!
    Lee

    thanks for the tip - that was it - updating the driver off of HP site seems to have solved the problem
    cheers!!

  • Installed an Windows 8.1 update yesterday; Now coputer freezes when trying to print from Adobe Reader.  Can print from MS word

    Installed a Windows 8.1 update yesterday; now computer freezes when trying to print from Adobe Reader XI.  Still can print a word document from MS Word.

    Was already running latest version 11.0.10.  Tried the re-load fix; tried uninstalling and installing a new one from the web.  Problem still exists -- cannot print any document from Adobe Reader XI.  Computer freezes when the print file is being prepared at 0%.

  • Can Reader XI cause program conflict when printing from MS Word?

    Hi There
    I have this machine:
    Intel Core i5-3470 CPU @ 3.20GHz, 8,0GB RAM, Intel HD Graphics
    MS Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1
    I am using Office 2007, Win2PDF Pro 7, Adobe Reader XI.  My Anti Virus is Kaspersky Internet Security 2014.  I have the latest service pack for Win2PDF Pro 7.
    When I print from Word using Win2PDF Pro 7 I get the first document printed OK but the machine freezes when I try to print another.  This system works perfectly when printing from Project.Libre, Paint.NET, Excel, and a 148-page printout of my Reference Manager database.
    This problem occurs only when printing from Word, and has appeared since I upgraded to Reader XI.
    Can you help?
    Thanks

  • I cannot print from Microsoft Word. Word closes when I try to print.

    When in MS Word, I try to print. But, Word closes automatically. I can print from other programs. I tried removing and reinstalling the printer. Didn't work.

    Try converting your .doc files in PDF and print it. This might help.

  • How can I select pages to print from a Word document using the report generation 'print report' vi?

    I have researched the knowledge base and found:
    Printing A Range of Pages or Number of Copies of a Report Using the Report Generation Toolkit in LabVIEW.
    This seems to be from a previous version of LV. I am using LV2010. The instructions given do not match up with the current vi. The information did provide a tip and drilling down into  the vi I was able to insert the from/to page numbers at the printout invoke method, however this prevents the print function from working in that it can no longer find the default printer.
    The error message is:
    Error 1015 occurred at NI_ReportGenerationToolkit.lvlib:Word_Print.vi -> NI_Word.lvclassrint Report.vi ->
    error 1015 is: Printer is not responding. Check printer configuration.
    Any ideas how I can make the modification to print, for example, pages 24 through 29 out of a 32 page word document?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Hello, take a look at this article. Unfortunately the Generate Report Get Data to Modify.vi was remove since RGT 1.1.3 release. That being said, we can try to find a workaround. See "Configuring a Printer Through the Windows Dialog in LabVIEW", open the GetPrinterSettings.vi, at the PrinterSettings property node you can select the from/to page. I hope this helps.

  • Cant print from Word. Can from anywhere else.

    Just as the title says. my dads printer prints everything from websites or email but it wont print from a word document. you press print and the little printer setup doesnt pop up. even if i try to print from his Mini to my wireless printer it doesnt work...anybody know why?

    Well, if it really is Word v.X, then we can rule out Classic as the origin of your problem. Since it's a G4, we can rule out Rosetta emulation as well.
    Unfortunately, I'm not a Word/Ms Office expert, since I use NeoOffice, and I'm not a specialist of priting issues either, so you'll probably have to wait for someone who is more knowledgeable than myself in these areas.
    In the meantime, are you sure you have the latest version of Office X ? If you're not sure, you can find updates on Microsoft's website.

  • HP Officejet 6800 e-All-in-One-series - issues with printing from MSWord / Setup

    I have been trying to set up the HP Officejet it seems for over 2 weeks - it works then doesn't - I dont want to return it but if it doesnt work proper .... I removed and reinstalled software - yesterday printed from MSWORD - today its not --- it will print pages off the internet but not from my MSWORD - its set up wirelessly - so frustrated - and what's worse is I am HP lover and now I cant even find a HP support phone number to call and I am pretty sure I remember being told while I was making my purchasing decision I could call HP for support with reference to set up when I bought the printer. Can someone tell me if the printer then not working is normal for this printer - with reference to printing MSWORD etc and if not is there some special place I am suppose to click to fix - thank you in advance 

    Hi @TheoD,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    Sorry to hear about your frustration with not being able to print from MS Word with your HP Officejet 6800 printer. But I am happy to help!
    It is definitely odd that this printer is not printing from MS Word but will from the Internet. I am not seeing much documentation for an HP Officejet 6800, is it possible that you have the HP Officejet 8600? Just double-checking to make sure I provide the correct information. To find your printer's Product/Model Number follow instructions in this link. Finding Your HP Product Model Number.
    For further assistance, I will also need to know what Operating System you are using. Windows or Mac? What version? If you do not know the Operating System you are using, please visit this website. Whatsmyos.
    If you are using Windows, please try our HP Print and Scan Doctor, and let me know what happens!
    Otherwise, if you still prefer to call someone, please call our phone support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. Country-language selector.

  • Can't print from Appleworks 6

    My wife's computer is a G4 Sawtooth, running OSX 10.2. Printer is an Epson Stylus Photo R220. All of the sudden, we can't print from Appleworks word processing. When we try, the printer window from the Print Center says that it's opening communications with the printer for a bit, but after a short time stops the printer and quits trying. The thing is, we can print from MS Word. Also, this computer is networked to my G4 ibook (10.3.9), which has an Epson Stylus Photo 825 attached. Using printer sharing, I can print through Appleworks to the Stylus 825 from the Sawtooth.
    This is a sudden onset problem. Yesterday she could use the R220. Today she can't. I've tried reinstalling the printer driver, with no effect.
    At about the same time, in what may or may not be a related problem, I stopped being able to print from either computer to my HP laserjet 4050tn, which is on an ethernet print server. Reinstall doesn't help.
    I had an intel mini whose harddrive died attached to the network. The mini is still out for repair, but I've also used both of these printers successfully since the mini was disconnected.
    Any ideas?
    duo core mini; ibook G4: G4 Sawtooth   Mac OS X (10.2.x)   Epson Stylus Photo R220 printer

    Sudden onset of problems is a sure sign of corrupt preferences. Printing problems are among many that may be cured by deleting the AppleWorks preferences. See my user tip, AppleWorks has stopped working correctly, for more information.
