Printing, new problem, tiny size, not cured by any steps identified in support.

A new problem a few weeks old. When I print from Firefox, the result is a very tiny image printed at the top part of the page. If I change the settings, it chops each page up into 4 pages and prints a quarter on each page. I do not have this problem if I print from IE, so not a printer problem. I have been through every single step in the help topic on printing problems and any step suggested in answer to a forum question. No joy.

If Firefox is not using the whole sheet of paper, this can be caused by having extracted the wrong paper size settings from Windows when reading the print driver data. Clearing it can involve finding some obscure settings, but here goes:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''print''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) For each setting for the problem printer, right-click and Reset it. The fastest way is to right-click with the mouse and then press the r key on the keyboard with your other hand.
Note: In a couple other threads involving Brother printers, the preference '''printer_''printer_name''.print_paper_data''' was set to 256 and when the user edited it to 1 that fixed the paper size problem. If you see a 256 there, you can edit the value by doubling-clicking it or using right-click>Modify.
Any improvement?

    Works perfectly fine for me with the latest Reader version (11.0.09).
    You write that it worked "before"; before what?  An update?  Update from what version to what version?

  • New printer, new problems

    Hello world,
    We have recently changed our Sales Dpt. printer from HP5100 to HP4350. At this moment we have regret the same functionalities as in old one. Except one.
    We print a special form on tray 01 (110 mm x 210 mm in landscape) but in the new printer outputs displaced. I mean, it begin to prints like it would be printing in DIN A-4 page format, and when arrives to the paper size begining, we miss half formular.
    These are the test i've made:
    1) In output device, i've made a horizontal move of X mm. It displaced all my forms except this one.
    2) I've added spaces at the beginning of form to try to go down the rest of text.
    3) I've changed the form window size.
    4) I've modified printer settings in tray 01: paper size customized, client paper size, A-4, A-5, none, all.....
    5) I've marked to active tray 01.
    6) I have in INIT actions of PCL-5 the next parameter: e&L101A to custom paper.
    ¿Could it be printer driver problem?. I haven't more ideas....
    Thank you all of you from Spain.

    Hello again,
    I need one urgent solution. Sales dpt. is stopped in this function.
    The problem was that half of the sapform was displaced and the words are missing. It's the left zone (but like it's printed in landscape, reality it is the upper zone). My page format is 110 mm x 210 mm (landscape).
    It's like it begins to print in a 210 x 210 page format (for example).

  • I am needing to set the DEFAULT Print to be ACTUAL SIZE not FIT.  I need this to be the DEFAULT SETTING for the program.

    I have a couple users using Acrobat XI Pro and when they print a PDF it is shrunk to 96.08%.  I need to find a way to set the DEFAULT Setting to be Actual Size.  We are a Law Firm and the Document Numbering is being cut off from the docs due to the Shrinking.
    Has anyone had any experience in changing the DEFAULT settings of the Print Window? Can you please pass along any knowledge on how to accomplish this?  Thanks for your time and replies.

    Acrobat and Reader's Fit and Scale functions are "sticky".
    From the Print Dialog > Page Size & Handling
    Any option you choose will remain active for all subsequent documents.
    (Some features remain active until the program is quit/restarted)
    Choose Actual Size
    Do not change the selection, it will retain the setting.

  • Aperture 1.5.1 Printing Contacts Problem...not the color issue.

    I understand that this product is a work in progress, but a fairly basic feature, Printing contacts of all the images in my project, or printing a selective few, should work as expected.
    I do not get the images I have selected at all. Even iPhoto can do that!
    If I select three (or any number) images, print them as contacts...fine...the first time only. I then go select another different three images...and guess what it reverts back to the first three images, not the ones I have most recently selected. Select all images...I dont get them all. Whether they have been adjusted or external or anything. That is a fairly useless feature if you ask me. What gives?? The included book is very thin on details.
    I called Apple Support and did the folowing: deleted the Aperture preference file at user/library/preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist, and then also rebuilt the Aperture Library upon relaunch by holding the option and something key(?) as per the Support instructions and no difference. Then got disconnected on the phone Support line and ran out of time screwing around with this issue.
    Has anybody else run into this? Any Suggestions? I could care less about the color management problems on this forum at this point...all I want is a contact sheet of the images selected. The color quality is a known to Apple bug...so what. How about a basic feature set working?
    Thanks for any input or suggestions in advance.

    Same problem here !
    I get all selected pictures but some of them are printed totally damaged and just selection of picture. It seems that mostly those cropped ( From 44 just 2). Sending such Contact sheet to Publisher - is not an "best "option describing that pictures are O.K. but problem is software... ??. So I used PS - creation of Contact sheet takes a plenty of time compare to Aperture, but later on printed pictures were more acurat compare to Aperture.
    I think something happened in upgrade 1.5.1. Before this worked more-less good. Contact sheet is one of most frequent output of the system when selection is going to be offered to publisher. Have you some tip how to fix a problem ?
    Thank you

  • New HP PC will not properly recognize any mouse

    I have a relatively new HP Pavilion HPE h9-1100z Phoenix CTO Desktop PC running Windows 7 Home Premium (64) that I bought a few months ago. In the last week, my mouse stopped working. It is whatever wireless mouse came with the computer. The keyboard, which uses the same dongle works, so I assumed it had to be the mouse. I replaced the batteries, reconnected to the dongle, and still does not move the cursor. It lights up, seems to connect just fine, it just doesn't do anything. I went and bought a really cheap wired usb mouse, and thought I had solved the problem. I plugged it in, windows found it and installed drivers, no errors. Still doesn't do anything. What does work is my drawing tablet. Its like a big laptop pad. It works as a temporary fix, but its not good enough. I checked Device Manager, found no errors. I have 3 HID-compliant mouse, and the Wacom Tablet under the mouse section. I thought that was strange, so I disconnected all other usb, had nothing in Device Manager. Plugged in the wired mouse. 3 HID-compliant mouse. That's the only thing that appears abnormal. I've updated all the drivers, I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, had windows stop turning off power to usb ports, nothing is fixing the problem and windows doesn't seem to notice there is a problem. I checked both mice in my wife's windows 8 laptop, and they work fine.  What am I missing?

    check in mouse settings which you will find in the control panel

  • Windows 8.1 system with new Office 2013 install not pulling down any Office 2013 updates from my SCCM 2012 SP1 server

    Hi,
    I've just setup a new Windows 8.1 system and added to my SCCM 2012 SP1 server and all is good and it pulled down all the correct Windows updates and pulls down automatically the FEP updates that are distributed from SCCM 2012 daily. 
    I just installed Office 2013 on this system and have activated it as necessary.  The problem is that the system doesn't seem to be pulling down any of the Office 2013 updates that have distributed thru SCCM.  I have other systems with
    Office 2013 installed and they have pulled down Office 2013 updates in the past when I published them.
    If I look at the Office 2013 updates in the SCCM console software section, I can see that for example it shows that Office 2013 SP1 (x86) is needed by one system and installed on 8 other systems and shows as downloaded and deployed.
    I've restarted the new system multiple times and also tried to force a software update check from the Configuration Manager applet but nothing seems to happen.
    What can I check to try and determine what the problem is?
    Thanks in advance,
    Nick

    Yes, the 8.1 system is a member of collection where the update deployment is targeted.
    Are there any specific logs I should check in the client?  If I check the WindowsUpdate.log I can see messages about the machine pulling down the FEP updates but that's all it appears to be doing.
    in CCM\logs, focus on the updatehandler and updatedeployment, to begin with

  • Mac OSX sofware update problems-computer will not start-up any more

    Hello
    I am having problems & I cannot get back into my computer. It won't complete the start up & just has the grey apple in the middle of the white screen and nothing else.
    I have an iBook G4 with Tiger on it - I am not sure which version of Mac OS X I was on when I did the software update but the one I was on last year when I came to this forum was 10.4.8 & I think I have updated it a few times since then so it was probably as I was attempting to install 10.4.11 as I do not have Leopard yet.
    The problem began when I did the Mac OSX update that it told me about in software update & when it had completed the update it said I needed to restart my computer which I did & ever since then it will not completely re-boot. (Like I said it just has the white screen/grey apple before it gives the option of who you want to login as).
    It seems as though other people have been having similar problems after installing Mac OSX software updates but I cannot find anything here in the forum that solves my problems (or at least not that I can understand at th moment...!)
    I need to access things off my computer & can't. Not everything on there was backed up as I had been working on things that day/week. I also don't know how to access my files from another computer (the ones I am trying to connect from does not have tiger it is a PowerBook G4 & it has Mac OSX 10.3.9 on it).
    Does anyone know the reason for this problem & how to access files from another computer via an etheret cable in OSX. I know someone who says it was a lot easier to connect computers before Mac OSX days but now it seems really difficult. The only way to start up my iBook G4 is using the Mac OSX install disk & I have tried to verify & repair hard disk permissions using disk utility that comes on the disk as well as verifying & repairing the actual disk but this has not fixed the problem.
    I am hoping that I will be able to at least access my files & copy them over to be backed up before I do an erase & install of Mac OSX from the disks. But I am unsure of how to connect my iBook the PowerBook G4 I am on right now. Please help if you know how!
    Thanks,
    Jazamin

    This just worked for my by connecting my other PPC computer to my G5.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1247044&tstart=0
    Go down to the other link and follow the same instructions.
    You must start up the good computer and shut down the frozen one. Connect via firewire and then hold down the T key while you start the frozen one.
    It will show up on your good one, and then install the combo on the frozen one.
    Hold down the power key on that computer to shut it down, disconnect and then start up again.
    Good luck

  • File sharing not working for any new accounts

    I am using the latest version of Mavericks. For every new account I set up (Sharing, Administrative, Standard) trying to set up file sharing on a directory fails. When I set up the account, select a directory (on the boot drive or on an external drive) to share and do a get Info it always shows "Fetching..." on the new account. If I try to set that directory to share from an account in SysPref>Sharing when I click on the directory and try to set the account to share, even though the account shows up in the list of accounts to use, when I select any new account it does NOT show up as selected for sharing. It is as though the new account isn't quite being correctly set by the system. If I launch and look at any new account in WorkGroup manager they appear to be normal but cannot be used in File Sharing. I am really scratching my head on this, since I do everything I should to share a directory and all new accounts are just not working.
    Any ideas or suggestions???????????????  HELP HELP!

    hi there,
    that error message sounds like you placed a shared folder within a parent folder that is not shared. It also can help to boot into Recovery Mode (pressing Command and R simultanously when hearing the startup tune), launch Disk Utility, select the disk containing your OSX installation (usually named Macintosh HD) and choose Verify Disk Permissions. Should any problems be reported select Repair Disk Permissions. Once that is finished, reboot normally.
    Though unlikely, it might have happened during all the folder removing and readding that some Permissions are out of sync. So checking these Permissions is merely a precaution
    Once you are back in "normal" OSX using your admin account, try this:
    Open Terminal from the Utilites folder
    enter the following commands one line at a time:
    mkdir /Users/Shared/Family
    mkdir /Users/Shared/Family/Movies
    mkdir /Users/Shared/Family/Mom
    chown -R <placeholder> /Users/Shared/Family           
    chmod -R 755 /Users/Shared/Family
    Be sure to replace <placeholder> with your account's short name (no brackets!)
    Now open System Preferences and select Sharing
    Select File Sharing from the left pane
    Click on the little plus and add /Users/Shared/Family to your shares (The subfolders are automatically included)
    in the right most pane check the access privileges. They are set, so that you can read and write to those folders, while everyone else can only read. If you want everybody to have read and write privileges, use 777 instead of 755 within the terminal last command.
    Now the other computers should be able to see and use the shared folder you just created.
    If you create individual user accounts on your machine for every family member you want to access the shared folders, you can choose far more sophisticated levels of access privileges.
    Hope this helps,
    Chris

  • Problem with permission - not even allowed to open Safari

    Hi
    I have a mbp mid 2010 with 8gb ram running Lion 10.7.4
    I have recently experienced problems with permissions, and have tried fixing it.
    The original problem was that I wasn't allowed to update the SW via the update tool. This problem arose approx. 4 weeks ago. Before then it wasn't a problem. I posted this problem on this forum, and got help by reseting the permission to default by pressen command +R during boot, and via the terminal to reset the permissions. This did the trick a very short while....
    Now I have new problem - I'm not not even allowed to open Safari due to lack of permission. When having disc doctor to analyse the hard drive it shows a very very long list, with issues.
    I have a time machine backup on my NAS, but I don't have permission to access it - can anybody help, please
    Br
    Per

    No, can't say I have.
    Could very well well be an image format issue, or a corrupted file. What platform is the source from (iOS, Android?). And what does "not being able to open" mean exactly?
    You might also try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

  • Printer settings problem

    A postscript printer driver is installed in Mac OS 10.4.8. Some printing settings have been saved as a preset and make it as default. When a Indesign file or Adobe applications file is printed to that postscript printer,I should press "printer" button to ensure the preset is selected and then print the file.Otherwise, those print settings stored as preset will not be applied. I tried to print other files, e.g Microsoft Word file, no such problem occurs.
    Any ideas on it?

    Please give the std. ready format for RG1....
    THANKS.

    Your subject title mentions A4 sized paper, the body mentions US Letter size.
    Assuming you want one half of a letter-size for each page, create the page size as portrait, 5.5" wide, 8.5" tall.
    Thread in logical order, page 1 through...how many ever pages. You should have a page count evenly divisible by 4.

  • T 420s cooling air coming out is very hot, finger print reader problem

    I am living in ruwais, abudhabi.i bought T 420s in last June from LENOVO  authorized distributor. Model number is 4174-KK4 and the sr no ***.
    Sometime the cooling air coming out is very hot, unable to keep the laptop on the lap.
    The cooling fan also replaced still the temperature is high.
    After replacing the fan I noticed that I noticed one of the screws was not fixed, I asked them to fix it, then they fixed it.
    I traveled back to my home 240 KM from the  authorized distributor service  center. when I started the laptop, the fingerprint reader was not working . Then I traveled back 240 KM to the  authorized distributor service  center to fix the issue. They fixed the fingerprint reader problem.
    Then now the SD card reader is not working. I was asked to bring the laptop to the  authorized distributor service centre.
    Can any one experience the same type of problems  with T 420s the cooling air coming out is very hot, finger print reader problem, card reader not working?
    The authorized distributor says for the service they can only cover 50 KM form the  authorized distributor service  center to the customer point, what is the conditions for the On site warranty ?. I am living 240 KM away from the authorized distributor service center from whom I bought the laptop.
    Moderator comment: Serial number(s) removed to protect member from mischief.

    Well clearly after the first incident. You need to check and us it verifying everything is working before leaving the service center or town its in. Go to a coffee shop and spend time using it and test each option is working.
    When the notebook its opened the finger print reader, card reader etc may not be connect properly or connectors not snap fully and disconnect. Mouse ultranav I have heard may also. But clearly you assume too much and you need to spend the time testing its working before leaving.
    These service center are only paid a fixed amount so they won't spend anymore time then they have to and address one problem you brought it in for.
    As for heat out put and over heating. There are many threads on these systems you can find and read about.
    Advice:
    - install Core Temp, this will monitor and display on the task bar you CPU core temp and you can see CPU load & Temperature at a glance if it approaching or staying near the max levels which will kill the CPU and/or motherboard due to cooking it. Its free just be sure to deselect any additional software from installing during the process. I use it on my notebooks. If the system is running high core Temp all the time you need to have it resolved or it will die and most likely out of warranty and/or your data will be lost if you don't have a backup as well. http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/
    - use a laptop cooler. Its a flat pad you sit the laptop on you lap or table with usually two cooling fans that plug into the USB port for power. It will help cool the base of the laptop and other components inside will not be as hot. This will do nothing for the CPU temperature though.
