Printing from Windows Explorer is full size

I have a number of scanned pdfs that are 11 x 17 scans. When I right mouse click on them in Windows Explorer and click print, most of our computers will automatically rotate and resize the page so that it prints properly on 8 1/2 x 11 paper. However, on one of our newer computers, it seems to be printing in full size (and not rotated), so we are not able to see the full page when printed. Interestingly enough, if you open the file first in Acrobat Reader and then print it, it seems to default to rotating and printing properly on 8 1/2 x 11 paper.
This new machine is running Windows XP and has Acrobat Reader 7.0 installed. This behavior has been observed with two different printers when printed from this machine.
Is there some sort of default printing settings in Reader that I need to adjust?
Thanks,
Keith

If I open the file in Reader and click File-Print, the Auto-Rotate and Center checkbox is checked. Page scaling is set to "Reduce to printer margins". Clicking OK yields the expected results. However, if I close Reader and then, in Windows Explorer, right click and then click print, the resulting print out is not auto-rotated nor is it sized according to the page size. I would have assumed that the print settings would be sticky as well, but that does not appear to be the case on this computer, or at least those settings are not applied to printing from Explorer. This may be a Windows XP issue, although I only seem to have the problem with 11 x 17 pdfs. Do you have any other thoughts?

Can't print from Windows Explorer

After installing the "HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Printer - N911a", on a Windows 7 64-bit PC, that is Ethernet connected, I get the following error message:
Script Error
An error has occurred in the script on this page.

When I try to print from Windows Explorer; however, I can print from other applications such as Word and Quicken OK, and I can print from Explorer OK from a Windows XP PC. Anyone have any suggestions?

The issue is caused when Windows creates the printer profile in the control panel that it doesn't correctly create it with the drivers.
We're not going to completely uninstall all the HP software, instead we're going to remove the corrupt Windows printer profile and reinstall it. Total time for this on an average computer is about 5-10 minutes to completely repair (including reboot).
1) Navigate to Start Menu > Devices and Printers or Start Menu > Control Panel > Printers
2) Select each printer profile for the printer with an issue, then select remove device/printer.
3) Reboot
4) Navigate to Start Menu > All Programs > HP > insert model # here > Add Printer (or Setup Wizard)
5) Follow the setup prompts to reinstall the printer profile and it recreates the Windows printer.
6) Test by printing google.com (uses very little ink when the test page comes out).
Let me know if you have any questions or issues.
Thanks,

Print from Windows Explorer Right Click (Adobe Reader X, WinXP)

When I right click on a batch of PDF files in Windows Exploer (WinXP) and click "Print" Reader used to print them all to
my default printer. With Reader X windows waits patiently for me to close Reader before printing each file.

Subject: Print from Windows Explorer Right Click (Adobe Reader X, WinXP)
I am also getting exactly the same problem, highlighting multiple pdf files right clicking and choosing "print" prints the first document, fails to close the adobe x window and sits there patiently untill it's manualy closed and then the next document prints - repeat - loop.
Have this happening on just about every windows xp machine in the office that I try it on and any and all versions of "Adobe X" that I care to install.
would love a fix for this, reinstalling 9 manually on every PC would waste a day of my life.

R-Click print from Windows Explorer doesn't print actual document size.

We publish AutoCAD drawings to PDF routinely. They are setup in 11x17 landscape format. They are published (AutoCAD's way of printing multiple at once) to PDF in 11x17 landscape format. When you open the file with Reader they are in 11x17 landscape format. You can manually print them after opening from adobe reader in in 11x17 landscape format. But, when you are in Windows Explorer, right click these PDF file(s) then click print, they are printed in 8.5x11 landscape format.
How can we get these to print in the documents actual format? We want to be able to R-Click the file(s) and print them from Windows Explorer without having to open Reader.

Does anyone know how they can help me? We could really use this.

Switched to external monitor lost access to Diagnostic Policy, Basic Filtering Engine, cannot print from interenet explorer

Laptop running windows 7
I switched to an external monitor (broke the LCD) and lost all sorts of things
1) Diagnostic Policy was not running, and could not be started via services.msc - I received "Access Denied" Error.
Fixed with
net localgroup Administrators /add networkservice
net localgroup Administrators /add localservice
2) Base Filtering Engine was not running, and could not be started via services.msc - I received "Access Denied" Error.
Still not running - tried all the usual suspects
a) virus scan
b) SFC
c) registry entry looks fine
d) adding "Everyone" with full access to the ControlSet/services/BFE registry key
3) Cannot print from Internet Explorer
There are probably other issues .. I suspect there is a common underlying problem, but have no idea of where to look
Thanks

I dropped the unit on the floor on 6/11 around 1PM, and then tried to turn it on. I hooked the laptop up to an external monitor at 9:34PM.

Copy and paste files from Windows Explorer

Hi everybody,
For a part of my application I need to copy and paste files and folders from Windows explorer to the vi shown in the picture.
Does anybody know how to implement this with the clipboard functionality.
Also drag and drop would be very nice (but thats maybe a later step...)
Best regards, Helmut

Hello Friedr,
drag and drop is the easy part!
Use a path control, this will naturally allow drag and drop. If a file is dropped on this a 'Value Change' event is fired! with this event you can load the data into the picture. To get a nice drag and drop functionality you should make the path transparent and resize to the size of the picture control. This will work fluently!
To use the clipboard, LV 8 has an functionality for this, I think it is an application event.
Success Ton
PS I didn't see you image maybe it was removed when you did a preview these have the bad habit of removing the attachments!

Files Opened from Windows Explorer Resize Illustrator Window

Windows 7 Enterprise, SP1
Illustrator CS6 16.0.3, 64bit
Over the past weeks, opening any Illustrator file (.ai or .eps) from Windows Explorer resizes the main illustrator window. The window "restores down" from my maximized view that I always run. This does not happen when I use the File > Open command from AI. Using File > Open, the AI window remains maximized and my artwork file opens in a tab (my preference).
It's really just a nuisance, but it's wearing thin now. More frustrating, this behavior only started a few weeks ago (been running CS6 for a few months.)
I found a post describing similar behavior from the CS3/2008 era... The fix is a workaround. Lots of complaints about this historically... with plenty of comments like "I hope they finally fix this is CS4."
http://forums.adobe.com/message/1265916#1265916
How may I fix this behavior without writing a batch file and making Registry edits (per 2008 post)?

This definitely isn't a fix, but is the best work-around I've been able to come up with.
I'm also on Win 7 Enterprise 64-bit using Illustrator 16.0.3 64-bit.
Although Windows/Adobe (I don't know whose fault it is) doesn't maintain the maximized state, it does (for me) seem to remember the last restored down size and window position, so here's what I did:
Restore down the main Illustrator window.
Move the window so that the top left corner is positioned in the top left corner of the screen/desktop.
Resize the window from the bottom-right corner down to the bottom right corner of the screen/desktop.
At this point, it should appear maximized (or very nearly so), even though it actually isn't.
Now (for me at least) when I double-click an AI file from Windows Explorer, the Illustrator window drops out of maximized state to this same nearly maximized state (although technically not maximized).
Hope this works for others.

Hi iTunes-1,
Welcome to the Support Communities! The error message you posted indicates a possible firmware update is needed for iTunes for Windows to work with your CD drive.
iTunes for Windows: Updating the firmware on your CD or DVD drive - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201852
Having outdated firmware can cause issues using CDs and DVDs with iTunes for Windows. Firmware is a type of software stored in a chip in hardware that can sometimes be updated.Identifying drives and firmware versions
To run CD Diagnostics, follow the steps in this document.
After following the steps to run CD Diagnostics linked above, look at section three to find out more about your optical drive(s).
Here is an example of what section three might look like:
In this example there are two drives. Drive E is a Samsung DVD-ROM drive with a model designation of SD-616 that has firmware version F000. Drive F is an NEC drive with a model designation of NR-7900A that has firmware version 1.08.Updating the firmware
If the optical drive you are using came with your computer, check with the support site for your computer for a firmware update. Typically you will need to go to the support website for the computer maker and click on a "downloads" or "updates" link, and then enter your computer model designation and operating system version to see what updates are available. Then look through the available updates for a firmware update for your optical drive. Download the updater and run it. If you need assistance applying the update, contact the maker of your computer.
If the optical drive you are using came as a separate part (was not included with a computer), check the support site for the drive maker for a firmware update. Sometimes the manufacturer is not clear in the CD Diagnostics results. In that case, you may just have to search the Internet for the drive model designation. You can usually find out who made the drive by looking through the results of such a search. Once you have identified who made your drive, go to the support website for that company. Look for a "downloads" or "updates" link, and then enter your optical drive model designation. Download the updater and run it. If you need assistance applying the update, contact the maker of the optical drive.Verifying that the firmware was updated
Run CD Diagnostics again.
Examine the CD Diagnostics results. The firmware version for the drive should be the new version.

Also, you mentioned that you have been successful burning a CD with the Windows OS. Make sure that you have closed all software programs that can access the CD burner so that there isn't a conflict for the drive. Sometimes chaning the burn speed from "maximum" to 8x can also help in this situation.
I hope this information helps ...

Is it possible to print from Windows 8.1 to a printer connected to the USB port on an Airport Express?

Is it possible to print from Windows 8.1 to a printer connected to the USB port on an Airport Express?
a) HP printer with USB port only (no ethernet port) connected to Airport Express
b) No issue printing from Macs
Tests
1) Installed Bonjour 2 - does not find printer (now uninstalled)
2) Bonjour 3 is listed in programs but no way to access
3) Using TCPIP address (and no Bonjour) gives 'Unsupported Personality' error when printing test page
Regards
Richard
p.s. why are all Windows 8.1 questios n the forum 'Locked' with no reply?

This is possible, but not with Bonjour or any other fixes. It is just a printer set up based on the Port name of the Airport, 10.0.1.1.
I found the answer on YouTube, Title: Windows Printing For Apple AirPort Extreme without Bonjour Wireless wifi.

Can't print from Windows XP

I'm a new Mac user with a MacBook Pro, and found I needed to run Windows for a couple of applications so installed Parallels. All applications run fine, except printing from Windows. Have a Canon Pixma MP480 printer at home, and an HP Deskjet at the office. Both print fine from Mac, but no luck from Windows at all. I've tried to troubleshoot the configuration in Parallels, and everything seems set up correctly as far as I can tell (I'm not very tech oriented, though). I have the feeling that there is something very basic that I have missed. Anyone have thoughts on what it might be?

Please post Parallels related questions on the Parallels forums as Apple discussions only provide support for Apple products:

Can't print from Windows to Mac

I've always had trouble printing to a printer attached to my Mac from Windows. Bonjour used to see the printer, but I could only occasionally actually print. For a while everything but PDFs worked, then even text stopped. As a last resort I tried the "reset printing system" option in System Preferences and then re-added the printer, but now Bonjour doesn't see it at all. I can browse to it via SMB at \\macname\printername, but all I can do is print a test page as Administrator. Regular print jobs and non-admin test pages just disappear - not in the queue on either client or server. Setting it up as an IPP printer instead didn't help.
I'm at the end of my rope here, and any troubleshooting tips are welcome. I'm an IT guy, so technical details are very welcome: TCP ports to check for listeners on, services to look for, registry settings on the Windows end, anything.
Details:
Server:
Mac OS X 10.6.2
HP Photosmart D7560 printer connected via USB using HP Photosmart driver
Clients:
Windows XP, Windows Vista (32-bit), Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit)
All on the same LAN (wireless), no trouble with TCP/IP connectivity (can ssh into the Mac from the Windows boxes, etc). Both Windows Firewall and UAC are turned off on the Vista/7 boxes, guest access is enabled on the Mac in Sharing preferences...
Any help welcome.
Thanks!

I followed the instructions at http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/3012.html and am having the same issue. Whether setting up manually or using Bonjour, it seems that you have to select an Apple Driver. The problem is that the Windows 7 does not provide Apple drivers. Luckily, I have an old XP installation CD so I can access the printer drivers I need, but because I already installed the printer drivers from my printers CD Windows will automatically install with that driver, not giving me the "have disk" option.
So I tried to install with Bonjour again, which allowed me to pull up the drivers from teh XP installation disk, but then gave me an error that I didn't have permissions to install the selected printer.
So I deleted the Canon driver for my printer from Windows 7 and went through the process described at http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/3012.html again. This time I was able to select the Apple Color Laserwriter printer from the XP installation CD, but I got an error message saying that Windows was unable to find an appropriate driver.
At this point, after a couple hours trying to do a simple file share, which should only take 30 seconds, I'm giving up being able to print to a printer connected to a mac from my Windows 7 laptop. Now I have to open files on the mac from the network file share to print.
Mixed having both Macs and Windows machines on the same network is a recipe for a headache.

Can't print from Windows....

Using Windows 7 over Parallels Desktop, I can't print from Windows applications....
The driver was download, but Windows keep asking to connect printer.

Hi,
since Parallels is not an Apple product it would be better to ask such questions in the Parallels support forum.
Nonetheless:
