Printing only 1 page not whole document?

When you are proofing a page, you must remember to check the page range button as it defaults to all after each page is printed. How do you change this default? We have printed many copies when we are thinking that only one page will go. We toggle between idd5 and pagemaker 7. When you print a page in pagemaker 7.0 it keeps printing that page until you select another option. We are reluctant to move up because of lack of compatability with our print devices and the ppd's. Thanks

Perhaps some knows of a script that can do this. Have you tried asking on the InDesign scripting forum?
Have you considered exporting to PDF, extracting the single pages, printing them from Acrobat or Reader? With full Acrobat, you can create a document from all open PDF files, then you can print that collection of pages from Acrobat. Another approach would be to placed the saved single-page PDFs into a new InDesign file and printing that file.
Yes, it's extra steps to create one, but if you have many singles to print, collecting them in a file would let you print as many singles as are in your assembled document in one print command.

How do I just print one page not all of the pages in the document?

When I print the document, I usually just want to print just the first page and not having to print all of the pages which is a waste of paper.

Hi debed,
I understand you're wanting to print particular pages of a document not the entire thing. I will certainly do my best to assist you with this.
It will depend on what program you're using, but you should see something similar to the image below allowing you to select the current page you're on, or pages 1-3 for example.
If you're still not sure, I will just need a bit more information to try and get more specific instructions.
1. What model of printer are you using?
2. Are you using Windows or Mac on your computer?
3. What program are you printing from that you'd like to select just the one page?
Hope this helps! Happy Holidays!!

How can i print only pages which have been highlighted, from a multi page file?

How can i print only pages which have been highlighted, in a multi page file.

Ah, I see want you mean. This might not be practical for you, but if you select one instance of the highlighted text and add a [space] to the little sticky note, all of the highlighted text on that page will appear in the summary.

Message- Print No pages from the document were selected to be printed

I have had this application for some time, simply never used it. Last night I tried converting a PDF file to word, unsuccessfully, I might add.
Today, whilst printing a page, my printing settings appear to have been reset because when I selected Print selected page, the following message appeared:
Print
No pages from the document were selected to be printed message
How do I reconfigure my settings to preview rather than defaulting to PDF? Kindly advise. Cheers.

I have only been able to print by exporting from iphoto. I have a new HP printer and there is software that supports photo printing ("HP photo smart") and I have been able to do it this way. On some occasions I have been able to use the iphoto>print>then preview before actually printing. There is a print option on the preview pane and that has worked on occasion...unsure why it doesn't work always. Please pass on any other hints, or let me know if this works for you!!

My printer prints blank pages from my documents but prints pages from e-mail fine

My HP printer prints blank pages from my documents. When I print any other pages it prints fine. Thank you

Please read this post then provide some details. What printer model? What operating system? How is the printer connected - USB, wired LAN, Wireless LAN, bluetooth? Are there any error messages on the printer or computer screen?

Appleworks database prints only header, not text

Appleworks 6.2.9, Mac OS 10.4.3, HP 6110 all-in-one printer with recent reinstall of driver (many other problems, now more or less cured). I have an oft-used database document (a wine list) which will print correctly in its original format, but when I change the page setup it prints only the header and not the database. Same in Preview although the whole page shows in the window. Tried saving the document as AW 5 and reopening -- nada. Ideas? Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discussions Michael
The easiest & best first step in troubleshooting is to delete the AppleWorks preferences. See my user tip, AppleWorks has stopped working correctly, for more information.
Do you have another printer you can try? HP printers are notorious for not "playing nice" with AppleWorks (& they don't do very well with Pages, either). Make sure you have the newest HP driver & that you use Disk Utility to repair permissions after installing any software or update that asks for your admin password.
A workaround that is often successful is to save the document as a PDF & then print the PDF.

Printer rips through the whole document before it starts to print

Thank you everyone for the answers to my previous post. Another Postscript problem which we are now trying to solve,
is the following printer behaviour: getting our postscript datastream, printer first goes through the whole document,
ripping every page (or so it seems) and only then it starts printing the first page and further. Our datastreams are usually
large, tens thousandth of pages, so it takes very long before a printer starts to print. What could cause such a behaviour?
Something at the end of the file, which interpreter needs to take into account? Some special settings at prologue?
Thank you in advance for your help,
Yuliana

What you describe is not normal behaviour for PostScript implementations and is not something that is a feature of the PostScript language. The interpreter does not attempt to process the entire job prior to passing any of the rendered pages off to be imaged.
You give no idea as to what type or brand of PostScript printer is exhibiting this behaviour, but the behaviour is likely type and/or model and/or vendor-specific. Contact the technical support group for your printer or RIP vendor for specific answers to this question.

Trouble printing multiple pages, not multiple images per page

I have just upgraded to PS Elements 10 and am having a challenging time printing multiple pages of the same document (image). These are labels that will be run, so we do 300 of the same image at a time, one per page (label). From the open Elements .psd file I choose print and set the printer settings, and then choose the amount of labels to print. No matter what number I put in for the Print X copies of each page, it still only prints one. When I convert it over to the organizer it seems to work with printing multiple copies. Having to move each file over especially if we are just wanting a quick test run is very time consuming and troublesome. It seems like there should be a simple fix that I am missing in the Elements program.

Creating a print button to print a page from another document - is this possible?

Hello,
My company is designing an interactive pdf with indesign with some great navigation on a side-bar. We've made the dimensions of the navigation pages larger than 8.5 x 11. We are constructing a pdf portfolio that contains a printable version of this document and this interactive version. Would it be possible to have a print button in the interactive document that calls up the corresponding page in the printable document and send it to the printer?

Flash Catalyst does not directly support printing. You are going to have to add that functionality via Flash Builder and writing ActionScripting. I have not worked with the printing capabilities in Flex, so there is not a lot I can offer past this in terms of advice.I would suggest browsing the Flex forums for some guidance on how to assemble your state for the printer.
Good luck!

Trying to print one page of a document in duplex - help!

Hi,
I've done a fair bit of work generating postscript from an OpenVMS COBOL system in the past, and while not an expert, have usually managed to produce something that works. This time I'm failing. Can anyone assist.
The problem: I have a document which has to print from 2 trays.
Tray 1: (Headed paper with blank background)
Tray 2: (Special paper with writing on the back)
Up to now it has been a simple simplex job, printing one page on headed paper and then page 2 (and more) on the special paper
<< /MediaPosition 0 >> setpagedevice
(PAGE 1) show
showpage
<< /MediaPosition 1 >> setpagedevice
(PAGE 2) show
showpage
I have to add a sheet printed on both sides between page 1 and page 2 (A) on the headed side and (B) on the blank reverse.
I tried
<< /MediaPosition 0 >> setpagedevice
(PAGE 1) show
showpage
<< /MediaPosition 0 /Duplex true >> setpage
(PAGE A) show
showpage
(PAGE B) show
showpage
<< /MediaPosition 1 /Duplex false>> setpagedevice
(PAGE 2) show
showpage
This produced page 1 on headed, page B on headed with page A upside down on rear. then page 2 on special paper.
I can get A to be the right way up by changing to
<< /MediaPosition 0 >> setpagedevice
(PAGE 1) show
showpage
<< /MediaPosition 0 /Duplex true /Tumble false>> setpage
(PAGE A) show
showpage
(PAGE B) show
showpage
<< /MediaPosition 1 /Duplex false>> setpagedevice
(PAGE 2) show
showpage
but still I get page B on the front and A on the back.
if I reverse thus:
<< /MediaPosition 0 >> setpagedevice
(PAGE 1) show
showpage
<< /MediaPosition 0 /Duplex true /Tumble false>> setpage
(PAGE B) show
showpage
(PAGE A) show
showpage
<< /MediaPosition 1 /Duplex false>> setpagedevice
(PAGE 2) show
showpage
I get A on the headed side, but upside down, and B on the back (also upside down) and B is stacked first so someone looking at it will see 1 B(upside down) A(upside down on headed), 2
I just want 1 (headed) A (headed), B (reverse of headed), 2 (special)
Can anyone suggest the solution (to an HP Laserjet or 5550dfn if it helps)

You need to alter the page orientations independent of the duplexing/tumble commands. you may be able to do this in setpage or setpagedevice, if not then reorient the specific pages using "moveto" and "rotate" PostScript commands within your pages.

Print only pages that are checked on page one??? Hidden is possible?

Please help. I know a little about java and acrobat but not enough to do everything I want.
I am making a form that has many pages but not all the pages apply to every event. So what I want to do is put a number of check boxes near the top of the form. When I print I only want the pages that are represented by the checked boxes to print. Even better, I would like those pages not visible at all just print. For example: Page one is a form that one would fill out: name, address, phone number, etc. Near the bottom that person would check all that apply: page A, page B, etc. That’s all he would see but when printed, it prints out the form and any of the pages that are checked.
Am I asking too much?
Thank you for any and all help.

It's possible to use a script to print only certain pages, but any contiguous page ranges have to be sent as a single print job. For example, to print pages 1-5, 10-20, and the single page 50, you would have to issue 3 separate print statements.
It's possible to have non-visible pages (templates), but it's not possible to print them until they are displayed. Since Reader 11 now supports templates, it would be possible to display the selected pages in the order that you want, which would presumably be a single continous range of pages, which would then require just a single print statement, as opposed to multiple ones as described above.

HP Envy 4500 prints only half of each document

Hi,
Brand new HP Envy 4500 and brand new laptop running Win 8.1 64. All printer drivers up to date. Static IP assigned to printer. Printing over Wi-Fi.
I have seen many threads saying the same thing and no answer as yet.
Please can you provide some answers?
Some documents print 2 + pages before stopping. Some just print half the first page. Printer says "cancelling" before stopping.

Why does my OfficeJet Pro 8500A occasionally print some pages of a document in jibberish?

Sometimes when I try to print multiple page documents off a website, some, but not all, come out nothing but jibberish. They look formatted correctly, but its like they are in a secret code or alien language with numbers, symbols, etc.
