Printing issues in mail

No matter what parameters I save for printing it always reverts back to '4X6 borderless'. Really weird. I have to change it every time I want to print emails. What file can I throw away to change this? I've tried everything. I'm working in 10.5.2
Thanks a lot.

Well, the file that controls your personal preferences for Mail (i.e., for your account only if you have more than one account on your computer), is at [your hard drive] - Users - [your account name] - Library - Preferences and is called com.Apple.mail.plist. BUT, before you think about deleting that, I'm fairly certain that doing so will return Mail to its original state, that is, the way it was before you ever used it. So you would have to set up your Mail account(s) again. If you are using .Mac or IMAP for your mail account, that's good, because all your messages are stored on a server -- you won't delete them. If you're using a POP mail account, then deleting this preference file won't delete the messages, but it will delete your account. If you re-add the account, I'm not sure if Mail will find your old messages or not.
In any case, if you're daring -- and remember, I'm no expert -- you might want to find that preference file and rename it to com.Apple.mail.plist.old. Then restart your computer, restart Mail, and try setting it up again. If it gets totally screwed up and you want your original settings back, just go back to the Preferences folder, delete the new com.Apple.mail.plist file (which would have been created anew when you restarted Mail), and take off the ".old" from the old preference file. Restart everything again and you should see your original settings restored.
Of course, before you do any kind of monkeying around with any preferences file, I HIGHLY recommend that you have a full backup of your files first. If you're using Time Machine, that will always allow you to restore everything on your Mac back to the way it was before.

    In the email you want to print, on the top right there is an arrow. Click that and an option should appear that says print. That should work. Have you already tried that?

    My printer receives and prints my e mail but not the attachments. How do I rectify this?

    Hi robgpearce,
    Your issue could be related to the file type or a setting with the file. In the help section of ePrintCenter.com, it goes into details on how the HP ePrint service does not support printing webpages via email at this time, HP is currently developing dedicated solutions to support webpage printing from mobile devices. Image files (like jpeg, bmp, tiff, etc) need to be at least 100DPI in order to print via ePrint. PGP encryption, digitally signed documents, macro-enabled spreadsheets and password-protected documents are not supported by ePrint at this time and will not print.
    If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!

  • Printing Issues with HP OfficeJet 100 and Windows 8.1

    We use HP OfficeJet 100 mobile printers and have a printing issue.When we print the printer acts as if it is going to print and then prints one blank page.Printer will not print even though it is showing as default printer.Printer will just stop printing in the middle of a document, even in the middle of printing out a page. We are printing via the USB cableWe are using Windows 8.1We are connecting to laptopsWe have been using the HP mobile range of printers since 2004 and have only experienced these issues since we moved the laptops onto Windows 8/8.1 We have:Uninstalled and reinstalled the printer drivers – this fixed this issue for a short while and then it reappeared againCalled HP support and they directed us to the driver support page which had the latest print drivers, uninstalled and reinstalled drivers with them on the phone. This initially fixed the problem and then it returned a few days laterAfter trawling the support forums found directions to change the print processor to “WinPrint” – No effect as the processor was already on this settingDownloaded the HP diagnostic tool – HP Print and Scan Doctor – didn’t fix anything Any further help would be much appreciated.

    Hello there Lawrence, Welcome to the Forums! I hope you enjoy your experience
    I noticed your post about the troubles you are running into when you attempt to install your OJ 6100 printer on your Windows 8.1 laptop. I read all of your attempts and seen you have tried several methods to try and get the installation to complete successfully.
    I would like to make some suggestions that may help. Let me know how it goes!
    1. Check that Internet Explorer pop-up blockers are turned off before downloading the installer
    Internet Explorer Pop-up Blocker: How do I turn off Pop-up Blocker?
    Try to install
    2. If you're running McAfee Live Safe or any other firewall, please temporarily disable the "real time scanning".
    How to disable realtime scans
    Try the install
    3. Go to the start screen (you may also press the windows key + R to open the run box) and type %WINDIR% this should show the windows folder.
    Click on the folder and scroll until you see files. Look for a filed named "HPWINS*.DAT" (the * is for a number that varies) remove this file and try the installation.
    Try the install
    Enjoy your Monday!

  • HP ENVY 100 D410 Printing issues...

    I have an HP ENVY 100 that has recently started having printing issues.  We recently upgraded to Mountain Lion and had no problems in the upgrade nor have we had any other software that we've changed.  The problem seems to be somewhat random and the results are always the same.  When commanded to print the printer acts as if it is running out of ink and then distorts the fonts creating vertical lines on the page and skipping rows creating what almost looks like a bar code. It's most peculiar and the only way I can find to solve the issue is to completely restart both my system and the printer.  Thinking that I had a driver issue on my Mac I used the utility on the printer to update drivers and none were found.  To insure that the problems wasn't isolated to just my machine I tried our laptop as well and it seems to have the same problem.  Has anyone had a similar problem?

    Hi Talon,
    That more liekly related to the software indeed, I would suggest trying the following steps:
    Reset the printing system as listed below:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c01371980
    Open the Applications folder, then Hewlett-Packard and then open the Device Utilities folder, launch the HP Setup Asisistant and follow the steps to reconfigure the device.
    If there is no Hewlett-Packard folder simply re-add the printer by clicking the plus button under Print & Scan.
    Now try printing and follow for any difference.
    If the same persists uninstall any HP Software by following the HP Uninstaller under the Hewlett-Packard folder.
    If there is no Hewlett-Packard folder follow the steps listed under Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8 > I used Apple Software Updates to install the product software below:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02440673&tmp_task=useCatego ry&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&lc=en&product=5157536#N1305
    Download and isntall the latest Lion Software below:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-97934-2 &cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=219&product=4073738&sw_lang=
    Once completing the installation click the Apple icon and install any available Software Update.

  • New airport extreme and printer issues

    OK here is the deal
    I have the new airport and a hp psc 750 printer. I have a new macbook which can not print on this printer. It will recognize it thru bonjour but will not install the driver - the odd thing is that I have a pc connected directly and a windows based wireless laptop which both are able to print via this airport. I also have an external hard drive that is connected to the airport. All of the computers are able access this drive. So all appears in order except for the macbook-printer issue. I contacted tech support and they claimed driver issue. Anyone have any ideas - I have updated the most recent drivers for this computer and I was able to install this printer via a usb connection. Thanks

    There have been a few posts about issues with HP printers working or not working as the case may be through the extreme. I can't remember what they say, but a search for HP in this forum may well help you.
    Sorry to be so vague, just thought it might be a start for you.

  • Issues with Mail Connection in iOS6

    I have a weird issue that's been plaguing me since I upgraded to iOS 6.  My company hosts its mail using an Apple Mail server running 10.5 (yes, outdated, we know and are migrating to Google).  I used to have no problem connecting via IMAP to my mail account on my iPhone 4.  I upgraded to iOS 6 and was receiving an error that mail could not connect to my work account.  I deleted and re-added the account and it seemed to work until a few days later when the issue returned.  I did a restore on my phone and again all seemed well.  About two days later I upgraded to an iPhone 5.  I migrated my data to it from my latest backup in iTunes, done the day prior (day after my restore).  Everything was peachy until a week later when I began getting connection issues in Mail.app again.  I deleted and re-added my account, this time it didn't work.  I restored my phone, it worked...for another week.  I began getting connection issues again.  I've now found a reproducible pattern and horrible work-around and am wondering if anyone else is encountering this.  Here are my steps:
    Mail.app starts telling me it cannot connect to my account.
    I delete the account and reboot the phone.
    After reboot the account IS BACK.  Seriously, it comes back after the first reboot 90% of the time.
    I delete the account again and reboot my phone.
    I verify the account is really deleted and re-add it, then it will work for about a week.
    Ever so often when I reboot that first time the account appears to be deleted.  If I re-add my account then it will not connect, I have to delete and reboot and if the account appears there again then I can delete it a second time and it will actually work when I re-add it after reboot.  Sound confusing?  It is.  One time when I rebooted my phone ALL of my mail, contacts, calendar accounts deleted.  That was awesome.
    Am I all alone here?  Do I have to totally restore the phone without restoring from backup?  Since I've been using iOS since the first iPhone that latter answer is definitely not an easy one to comply with.  So many things I'd have to re-download and configure.
    Thanks for any help you can provide!

    Okay everyone! I struggled with this problem for a long time, and I was just about to send a complaint to Spotify when it worked for me! See, I did a little different than before; this is the list I was going to file:
    "1. I open Spotify from the application menu.
    2. I choose "Online" mode.
    3. My phone asks me how I want to connect to the Internet.
    4. I pick "Easy WiFi".
    5. I choose my WiFi network from the list.
    6. Application seems to be signing me in.
    7. My phone asks me again how I want to connect to the Internet.
    8. I repeat the procedure. Spotify can't connect with WiFi.
     -I have tried to connect using other WiFi networks, didn't work.
     -Before I updated last time I could connect without problem.
     -I can connect using 3G.
     -I can connect using WiFi in other applications than Spotify, for example Opera Mobile and the native browser.
     -I have reinstalled the application without difference."
    However, I did it a little different, which made it work: instead of choosing "Easy WiFi", I choose my network directly from the list: see attachment. I never thought of that I could do so and I can't remember I did that before the update either. I have now synced my tracks and the app seems to be a little buggy, I still hope for an update, though it now works at least. Sometimes it crashes.
    Please, tell me about if this worked for you and if you have other, better solutions. This isn't good enough, I still seek a better way.

  • Need help diagnosing cause of printing issue w/ image distortion

    Hello, I'm looking for some expert advice for my print issue with image distortion (see above) on my files once setup and proofed by my printer.
    I have a large PSD background file out of photoshop (CMYK, 170mb psd) that is being placed into an InDesign document. No preflight errors, all correct SWOP cmyk settings, and I keep having issues where images distort on my printers proofs - they seem unable to explain the issue and can't offer any other suggestions beyond ("just try resaving/uploading again" which of course has an added fee with each upload...).
    The files are all fine on our end: on-screen, on our cmyk proofs, and our saved PDFs/packaged files. But everytime our printer opens these they seem to have these distorted image problems - scrambled images (almost as if there was a ghosted transparent image in the distorted area), strange lines (see above, and color distortion (usually greens and pinks, see above).
    Is this an issue with my settings/file formats? Maybe the issue lies on our printers end? I'll keep checking this throughout the day and provide quick answers to anyone who can help me get to the bottom of this.
    Adobe forums have been a huge help in years past so I decided this was by best bet for a resolution from those who know more than myself (or my printer), thanks for taking the time to help!

  • Auto adjustment of page orientation causes printing issues with documents that have a page width greater than its page height.

    Hi,
    Since an upgrade from Word 2003 to Word 2010, we are experiencing printing issues with certain
    documents that have a page width greater than its page height.
    In Word 2003, it was no problem to set the page width greater than the page height while setting the page orientation to "portrait".
    In Word 2010, this seems impossible: despite leaving the page orientation to "portrait", if one changes the page width/height as stated,
    Word 2010 automatically adjusts the orientation to "landscape". Resetting the orientation to "portrait" will flip the page's width/heigth settings.
    This behaviour causes printing problems: the page prints out 90° rotated.
    I do not believe this is a printer driver issue: I tried several different printer drivers, and all give the same (bad) result. Setting the printer driver's page orientation settings (before printing) makes no difference, as
    Word 2010 seems to force the page orientation settings.
    Inserting the documents 90° rotated is not an option, since it causes problems with the printing margins.
    This is very annoying, since we have to print official documents of a municipality (driver's licences).
    Is there a workaround for this issue?

  • How do I print hundreds of mail messages at once?

    I would like to print a huge archive of mail messages. Is there a way to do this without going through it one at a time?

    I have tried this a few times as I wanted to archive some mail to a PDF file.  I select a group on mail message and then select print.  It only shows one of the messages being ready to print.  Because it only showed one file, I presumed that it would only prin the one file.
    Based on your response, I went ahead and tried the print to PDF. It created a separate PDF file for each mail item.  I then selected all of the PDF files, opened them with preview and did a second print which comned them all into one file.
    Thanks for your comment.  As you say, it does print groups of mail items. It is just not obvious that it is going to do it.

  • Is it possible to restrict printing via e-mail to one or a few domains?

    Regarding HP ePrinting
    Per default any emails will be printed, it is possible to restrict to certain e-mail addresses
    Is it possible to restrict print per e-mail to a domain or a few domains, to get a better security and a more simple administration?
    example:
    e-mail addresses: [email protected], [email protected] ... etc.
    Rule in HP ePrint: *@mymaildomain.com

    Hi,
    It is possible to restrict printing for allowed senders only,
    You will have to add any email you would like to allow accessing, adding a bulk domain nake is not possible..
    ePrintCenter lets you control who can e-mail print jobs to your HP product from mobile or network connected devices. Follow these steps set your ePrint-enabled product to receive print jobs from allowed senders only.
    Log into your ePrintCenter account at HP ePrintCenter .
    On the ePrintCenter Printers page, click ePrint Settings . The ePrint Settings window opens.
    On the Allowed Senders tab, select Allowed Senders Only , and then click Save .
    Type an allowed sender's email address in the dialog box, and then click Add Email . The email address is added to the Allowed Email Addresses list.
    NOTE:You may specify up to 500 e-mail addresses allowed to send print jobs to your product. Your HP product ignores e-mail from addresses not on your allowed senders list.
    (Optional ). To send a confirmation email to the sender after the ePrint job prints successfully, select the check box next to the email address in the Email job status column.
    NOTE:To remove an email address from the Allowed Email Addresses list, click the X next to the email address in the Remove column.
