Printing one page at a time....

Suddenly, after adding a new printer (Lexmark E210), which required a number of additional programs to be added, as a work around, I can no longer print more than one page on any of the printers I have installed. Any ideas? They all work. They are all recognized. The only problem, one copy at a time....aaaarrrrrgggghhhh.

What happens when you try to print more than 1? Do you have to do a force quit or does it just not print the others?

I am trying to print all the PDF pages in a range of 5 pages but can only print one page at a time . . . It will print the current page, but not all or pages 1-5. Can this be overcome?

I am trying to print all the PDF pages in a range of 5 pages but can only print one page at a time . . . It will print the current page only, but not all or pages 1-5. I need to go to the next subsequent page and command to print current page; continuing with this procedure until all pages are printed one at a time. Can this be overcome?

You can use printPages(1, 5), however I need to know how you print current page.

Can only print one page at a time

Using Adobe Reader 9.4.2
Operating system Arch Linux
Printer Brother DCP-115C
When trying to print more than one page at a time in a PDF document,
Adobe Reader appears to create the print
the print job appears in my print queue
the printer says 'Receiving Data', but only momentarily
the printer resumes 'normal' status
the printer does not print anything
It is as if there is very little data actually sent to the printer, even though the print job appears to be 254k in size
When I try to print one page at a time from a PDF document
Adobe Reader appears to create the print
the print job appears in my print queue
the printer says 'Receiving Data' for several seconds
the printer prints the page
no problem
It seems to me that Adobe is creating a print job (for multiple pages) that the printer either does not understand, or the printer believes that there is nothing to print.
I am able to print everything that I need to, but only one page at a time!
Does anyone else experience this problem? Do you know how to overcome this?

Laserjet 2100 will only print one page at a time.

I recently acquired a second hand Laserjet 2100 Series. Installation was fine but it will only print one page at a time, I have to keep pressing the 'Go' button, which is very frustrating. The manual tells me that it is in 'Manual' mode but not how to change it. Can anyone help, please? O/S Windows 7. Thank you.

This seems to be a commercial product. For the best chance at finding a solution I would suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support!

InDesign CS5 only prints one page at a time.

InDesign CS5 only prints one page at a time. No multiple copies. Each page in a document has to be printed one at a time. I didn't have this problem with any version before this. No matter what I do, change settings, etc. I still have the same outcome. How do I work around this problem so I can print a 5 copies of a 3 page document without having to do each copy of each page one at a time.

Sounds like a printer driver issue. Can you export to PDF and print that correctly?

When I print from my pad it only print one page at a time, why?

Why can I only print one page at the time when using the iPad?

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

Can't print off my statements like before...have to print one page at a time instead of whole statement...what gives? did up dates ...updates no good?

Can't print off my statements like I did before...have to print one page at a time now...what happened? never had proble before....I did an update that they said was available...did that cause the problem...Apple???

Hi Charlott...
Open System Preferences > Print & Scan then select the Print tab.
Click: Open Print Queue...
Delete all documents in the queue
Restart your Mac, turn off the printer then turn it back on then try printing.
Not sure which update you are referring to. If you have Lion installed and updated to v10.7.3, I doubt that had any effect on printing.
BTW... when you post, please tell us which Mac OS X you have installed. Thanks!

JS: How to make a script to print one page at a time and set print job name?

What I want is to print one page at a time to the printer.
Document.print(false, app.printerPresets.item(0)) almost get me there. But how do I get it to print page by page? There seems to be no way to set which page to print to printerPreset.
Also, is it possible to change print job name from the default of using document name?

>Is there any solution to this other than saving the document to a different name before each page print?
Here is an altered and abriged version of the script that I use. I use print preset called "PS to PDF" in it, so you should change it to your own.
if(app.documents.length == 0){
   alert("Please open a document and try again.");
   exit();
var myFolder = Folder ("~/Desktop");
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myNoExtention = getFileNameOnly (myDoc.name);
var myPrintPrefs = myDoc.printPreferences;
if (app.printerPresets.item("PS to PDF") == null) {
   alert("Preset \"PS to PDF\" has not been installed");
   exit();
else {
   myPrintPrefs.activePrinterPreset = app.printerPresets.item("PS to PDF");
myDoc.sections.everyItem().sectionPrefix = "";
myDoc.sections.everyItem().includeSectionPrefix = false;
   var stop = myDoc.pages.length;
   var w = new Window ( 'window', 'Printing PS-files' );
   var pb = w.add ('progressbar', [12, 12, 300, 24], 0, stop);
   var txt = w.add('statictext');
   txt.bounds = [0, 0, 200, 20];
   txt.alignment = "left";
   w.show()
for(var myCounter = 0; myCounter < myDoc.pages.length; myCounter++){
   curPage = myCounter + 1;
   pb.value = curPage;
   var myText = String("Page " + curPage + " of " + myDoc.pages.length);
   txt.text = myText;
   var myPageName = myDoc.pages.item(myCounter).name;
   var cornumber = pagenum(myPageName);
   var myFilePath = myFolder + "/" + myNoExtention + "_" + cornumber + ".ps";
   var myFile = new File(myFilePath);
   myPrintPrefs.pageRange = myPageName;
   myPrintPrefs.printFile = myFile;
   myDoc.print(false);
w.hide();
alert("Done!");
function pagenum(myNumber){
   if (myNumber >= 1 && myNumber <= 9)
   x = "0" + "0" + myNumber;
   else if (myNumber >= 10 && myNumber <= 99)
   x = "0" + myNumber;
   else if (myNumber >= 100 && myNumber <= 999)
   x = myNumber;
return x
function getFileNameOnly (myFileName) {
   var myString = "";
   var myResult = myFileName.lastIndexOf(".");
   if (myResult == -1) {
      myString = myFileName;
   else {
      myString = myFileName.substr(0, myResult);

How do I print one page at a time for a photobook .pse project?

I am trying to print a photobook project one page at a time as I am using double sided paper that I need to turn over. One other project I did asked me if I wanted both sides and would I do the turning myself, but this one doesn't. I also wanted no border on the prints and it came out with a border. It is also frustrating to have to wait for it to load 75 pages and then it prints them back to front. Is this PSE or the printer software?

Yes, you can print one page one at time as you want .
In print dialog, select other pages and click on remove button.(refer to screenshot).
For border click on more options and ensure check box is not selected ( refer to screenshot)

Printing data sent to printer one page at a time

Before, when I printed on my Brother MFC-7840W printer, the data was sent to the printer instantaeously. But now, on my new MBA with Mavericks, when I print something, the printer queue says 'Printing - Sending data to printer" and sends the data one page at a time as it's getting printed. In other words, I can't close my laptop or disconnect from the printer until all the pages have been printed. Anyone knows how I can fix this?

I have THE SAME issue
I bought a HP Laserjet Pro 400 in August 2013, and it worked great till I upgraded to Mavericks
Now, it prints 1 page, waits 20 seconds, then prints another
my 18 ppm printer is now like 1.8ppm
I hooked up a windows laptop to print the same document, and it screams through in top speed
After updating the hp printer firmware, apple drivers, and replacing the cartridges, the problem points to Mavericks

Appleworks will only print one page at a time, please help!

hi there ~
no matter how many times I ask the printer to print ALL pages, it will only print one at a time, so I have to manually print page 18, 17, etc....
Could this be because the pages are arranged left to right? that would seem strange.
also, I cannot find a function to re-arrange the pages. for example, i want to re-organize to make page 18 at the front as page 1. I just don't get it though I've searched the program.
THANKS SO MUCH!

Hi td,
Welcome to AppleDiscussions and the AppleWorks forum.
"no matter how many times I ask the printer to print ALL pages, it will only print one at a time, so I have to manually print page 18, 17, etc...."
My memory says the same as Yvan's.
If the printer dialogue has a checkbox labeled "Collate", make sure the box is checked, even if you are printing a single copy. If memory serves, this suggestion was made in connection with HP printers.
A second possible solution is to specify the page range when printing this document (or others that exhibit this problem). (eg. for a 25 page document specify printing From page 1 To page 25.) You might try specifying p. 1 to p. 99 for any document under 100 pages, although I don't know what effect this would have for a 5 page doc.
regards,
Barry

HP LaserJet 2035n printer will only print one page at a time

Excel will only print one page at a time

At work, we use Excel to track orders. I have a multi-page workbook that has linked pages. Last week, I could print fine, but this week I am only able to print the last page of a sheet. I saw in another forum: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=696138 person who had a similar problem, but only when trying to print to a PDF. I am able to preview and print to a PDF without problems. I have updated my OS and printer drivers, and installed all available updates to Office (I’m using version X). I think it is pertinent to note that no one else in my office is able to print these documents normally.
Can anyone think of a solution short of completely rebuilding the workbook? In the past, saving the file as an Excel v.4 workbook and then reconverting it to the more current file solved the problem, but now if I try to do that, excel crashes.
Thanks!

Well, I rebuilt the entire workbook... that was a few months ago and so far, the problem hasn't resurfaced. It really wasn't fun to do, but whatever glitch there was in the file, I eliminated it.
I think I should mention that I am using Office v.X, NOT Office 2004. I got a new Intel iMac this week and yesterday when I opened up my files, it opened up the test drive (a JOKE of a program if you ask me) Anyway, some of the very minor issues I had with Office v.X were solved in the 2004 version. (When opening up large multi worksheet files without Excel being already opened, the tabs have white text) Anyway, I am still going to wait for the universal version to come out, but it seems that the newer versions may have fewer glitches (as is to be expected)
At any rate, best of luck to you!

C7280 All-in-One - uploads hang at 12%, then 45% and prints one page at a time - broken pipe

Printing upload hangs at 12% then 45%, then aborts printing with error message "Stopped - Unable to print data. Broken pipe". Can this be fixed?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi JGarner98,
A broken pipe error is a programming construct that is designed to 'pipe' data from point to point. From the description you have provided, it sounds like the operating system is telling yout that is has lost the ability to write date to the printer. This is generally caused by some sort of corruption in the CUPS printing system.
CUPS consists of a print spooler and scheduler, a filter system that converts the print data to a format that the printer will understand, and a backend system that sends this data to the print device. CUPS uses the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) as the basis for managing print jobs and queues. - Source
To fix this, I suspect the best approach is to reset the printing system, repair disk permissions, re-add the printer using the right driver, and try to printing again.
Reset Printing System
Click the Apple icon (   ), and then click System Preferences.
In the Hardware section, click Print & Fax/Scan. The Print & Fax/Scan dialog box opens.
Right-click (or  Ctrl  +click) in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system…
Click OKto confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows no printer selected
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Repair Disk Permissions
On the Dock, click Applications, and then click Utilities.
Double-clickDisk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left (by default this is "Macintosh HD").
Click the Repair Disk Permissions button at the bottom of the window.
Once the repair is complete, restart the computer and add the printer back.
When you add the printer, please ensure you are using the HP driver, not the AirPrint driver.
Select Add other Printer or Scanner
Select the printer you are adding and next to 'Use' you can the printer driver
I look forward to hearing from you. Please let me know if this resolves the issue. Thanks.

Can only print one item at a time

Hey everyone,
Bit of a Photoshop novice here, use it for DVD covers and labels. I have been using CS3 previously but upgraded to CS5.5 last year. The thing is on CS5.5 I can only print one page at a time even when I input say 20 copies to be printed, only one will print. That goes for the regular printer for printing covers and the disc printer.
I can open CS3 up and right away it will print however many I ask it to.
Is there something I am missing? Something so painfully obvious that it is staring me in the face but I am just not seeing it?
Thanks in advance!

It isn't a printer setting. I have 3 different printers connected to my system and all of them worked with CS3 fine. And when I delete the preferences folder for CS5.1 it works as it should but only once, then afterwards it only prints one copy, no matter how many I ask it to print!
So if it works when the preferences have been removed, then fails to work afterwards, how can that be a printer setting?
I have read elsewhere that others have had similar issues with CS5 and Windows 7.
