Printing half on and half off the paper

We purchased the HP Photosmart 6510 yesterday.  While the unit will print, it is printing the image half on the page and half off the page on 5x7 paper.  How do we get it to consistently print to the center of the sheet so that I am not wasting any more paper?
The 4x6 paper will not print at all- it will only jam and destroy the paper. 
Paper type: invitation weight matte paper being fed from the photo tray.  Ironically, the 3.5 x 5 images all printed perfectly.
Anyone?  Help!

Hi - A couple of things to check.  First, make sure that the paper size in both the printer driver (File, Print, Preferences) and the app you're printing from are both set to the appropriate paper size.  I'm assuming that is the case if it prints fine on 3.5x5, but can't hurt to double check.  Second, sometimes there can be an accumulation of dust on the rollers that can cause the pick rollers to slip initially.  Try cleaning those by following the steps in this document.  This isn't normal for a new printer, but worth a try.
Hope that helps.

  • Mac SUDDENLY reboots continuously and displays apple logo that is half blue and half gray

    I was surfing the web and my Mac goes black and reboots unexpectedly. I say OK, fine.....gray screen comes up then a Apple Logo that is half Blue and half gray appears with a graduated progress bar under the logo......it progresses half way then reboots and repeats-over and over again... I turned the unit off completely to cool off and give it a break.
    I disconnected the ethernet cable and a few preipherals.
    I am about to re-start in safe mode but wanted to bounce this here first.

    Well I took it to the GENIUS BAR and they have to replace the logic board which wont be in until Friday which *****....I am so glad i have APPLE CARE. is all I can say...I am also so very happy this isn't a WINDOWS BOX situation because then there wouldn't be TIME MACHINE. I may or may not have to restore from backup but it is there is I need it....so I will have to re-install all 3rd party software....but hopefully all the data will be there somewhere.....

  • Printing #10 Envelope - Return Address "off the page" & Address Very High

    I'm having trouble printing a #10 envelope.
    I have an Okidata B410d printer that Pages seems to subtitle a "Generic PCL Laser Printer."
    I went -- File / Open From Template Chooser / Word Processing / Envelopes / Classic Envelope
    I fill in the fields and the page attributes shows my printer, #10 Envelope and a landscape orientation.
    But when I feed through the bypass tray -- following the little icons telling me face down, flap left, ... -- the result prints the address two lines from the top of the paper and no sign of the return address field (if it existed it would be an inch off the paper to the top if you follow.
    So I figure there might be some way to change the setup / margins / headers / ...
    I managed to get something sorta acceptable by changing the default header from 0.95 cm to 4.2 cm -- it wouldn't let me go any more. The result had the return field hugging the top of the paper and the main address starting maybe 1 1/2" from the top. the envelope looks funny by I had to get something in the mail today.
    Now I'd like to make this right.
    Any advice?
    Thanks

    Who knows what I've done but after much trial and error (and more than a few of those pages cut to match a #10 envelope I seem to have something I can work with.
    I guess, as you said, there is some funny business between my printer and Pages.
    I'll detail the steps as much so I can retrieve if necessary. What I did:
    * Found a template that used a floating text box for the return rather than a header.
    * Changed the page size from the #10 default of 24.13 cm wide x 10.48 cm high to 24.13 cm wide x 24.0 cm high to "fool" it to working.
    * Left side margins unchanged
    * Set top margin to 11.5 cm and bottom to 0.0 cm
    * Dragged the return address floating text box so it is centred top to bottom on the envelope (a look I like)
    * Finished output has return address flush left, centred top to bottom and the address filed aligned with top line of address and return address fileds the same.
    * Saved as a template in my templates.
    * Tested that I could retrieve the template, type in info and print okay.
    Like I said ... it ain't elegant but now I can print out a proper looking #10 through the bypass feed of my Oki printer.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Display half black and half white.. help please?

    Hi there,
    I was wondering if anyone can help me with this. Recently, (sometimes) after i start my powerbook up or awake it from sleep.. the display instead of white... it's half white and half black. Top half is white and I can see the apple logo (startup) or the desktop (sleep). The bottom half is completely black. And gradually the the black disappeared. Is my display card screwed?
    Thanks.

    My guess is that you have a backlight going bad. Miniature fluorescent tubes provide the backlight; I think at least two, perhaps top and bottom. You would have a slow starting bottom tube. AFAIK, this is not an easy or cheap repair. Most folks would replace the whole display, although it's probably possible to take the display apart and replace the tube.
    If an external display connected to the computer works OK, the video card is likely fine.

  • My firefox is half English and Half Spanish. How can I make it all English ?

    my firefox is half English and Half Spanish. How can I make it all English ?

    If you have the Firefox user interface (menu bar) in the wrong language or want to change the current language then you can get the language of your choice here:
    http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall the current Firefox version, but make sure that you do not remove your personal data.
    Install the new Firefox version of the wanted language.
    See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup and [[Backing up your information]]
    You may need to (re)set the pref "general.useragent.locale" to the preferred language (e.g. "en-US" or "en-GB") on the about:config page.
    You can open the '''about:config''' page via the location bar, like you open a web site.
    Use the ''Filter'' bar at the top of that page to quickly locate the pref.

  • Screen is half normal and half darker.

    The first half hour my screen is half normal and half darker. What can be the problem?
    It started after a replacement of the protection screen at the Apple-dealer in Marbella.

    Hello benvanoeteren,
    After reviewing your post, it sounds like the display is not working correctly. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
    Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays - Apple Support
    Brightness or color isn't uniform
    If you have an older display, before evaluating the display for uniformity in lighting or color, the display may need to warm up. Older LCD (Liquid Crystal Displays) use CCFL (Cold Cathode Florescent) backlights. This kind of lighting may require several minutes to half an hour to warm up fully.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

  • When I try to open my Yahoo mail in safari, I get a message which states:" In order to use Yahoo mail, please turn Private Browsing off. Please go to Settings Safari Private Browsing, and turn off" The problem is my ipad does not a Private Browsing switch

    When I try to open my Yahoo mail in safari, I get a message which states:" In order to use Yahoo mail, please turn Private Browsing off. Please go to Settings>Safari>Private Browsing, and turn off" The problem is, my ipad does not a Private Browsing switchat this location.

    With iOS 7 on the iPad, you turn Private  Browsing on and off by tapping the URL field.  The screen that  opens up has your bookmarks on it.  In the bottom left corner is a hot button marked 'PRIVATE'.  Tap on the word 'PRIVATE' to turn private browsing on or off.  Yeah, there aren't any instructions anywhere that I can find to do this, and if you follow Yahoo's instructions, they don't work.  This doesn't happen with the previous Apple OS, and you can restore your iPad to the older OS.

  • I'm trying to use a madcatz controller on the mac but it turns on for 2 seconds and turns off. the system profiler picks it up as a xbox 360 gamepad but says its not been configured. how can i allow my self use this with my games.

    i'm trying to use a madcatz controller on the mac but it turns on for 2 seconds and turns off. the system profiler picks it up as a xbox 360 gamepad but says its not been configured. how can i allow my self use this with my games!

    I have exactly the same problem.
    I'm a little peed-off with Microsoft on this. The original wireless controller I have doesn't work either since the cable I'm using is 'just' the charge and play cable, so a direct connection to my Mac won't work with this cable. It's a cable for god's sake. Why on EARTH put any limitations on this!?!?
    Next I learn I need an additional USB wireless receiver from Microsoft to get my original 360 controller to talk to my Mac. As I certainly don't want to fork any more microsoft dollars on this, this is not an option.
    Next I think, yes! I have a MadCatz 360 wired USB controller. This should surely do the trick just plugging it in and the way I go. But oh no, for some reason I plug my MadCatz Xbox360 controller in, it flashes a few times then switches off and can't be turned on again.
    The System Profiles recognizes it as a MadCatz 360 device controller but that is about it, but the ontroller software I download for the System Prefs (360Controller, USBOverdrive etc) don't even recognize the controller as being plugged in.
    What the **** Is The Microsoft Deal with all of this!?!?
    PS: Oh, and I forgot to mention, there are No drivers for device 4716 that I can find on the MadCatz website, or am I going blind?
    If anyone has a link, it would be appreciated.

  • A document page opens that is too big for the display and runs off the end of the monitor

    How do you fix a problem where document pages open that are too big for the display and runs off the end of the monitor? The borders are off the monitor so there is no window edge to grab and adjust.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • I am getting a message in the middle of my imac screen instructing me to hold down the on-off button and turn off the machine. The message is in several foreign languages beside english, and there is not way to get rid of it. The curser is inactive.

    I am getting a message in the middle of my imac screen instructing me to hold down the on-off button and turn off the computer. The message is in several languages and completely takes over the computer disabling the mouse and all other functions. The only option is to unplug the computer or turn it off. I'm concerned that this is a virus. It does not look like it's related to Apple or the imac OS.

    I live in China as well and my iPhone5s is the model A1530 I bougth outside China. I have the same problem as Nikatnight with the iPhone while the iPad Air (wifi only) is working like a charm. It must be definitely something related to the carrier since I was abroad few days ago and everything worked well.
    If you pay attention at the source of your maps, you'll discover they are provided by AutoNavi instead of TomTom and make them appear in chinese with their own border interpretation. Queries are only acceppted in Chinese (p.e. if I type in english "Los Angeles International Airport"  it replies it cannot locate it)
    I suppose everything will be fine when you'll be out of censorship....
    Perhaps iOS  Apple Maps are absolutely useless for expatriate in China.
    Use Google Maps instead
    BTW, I'm surprised how much Apple might prostrate towards hard power Governments.... No matter what, money are always on top!
