Printing only blank pages and Page setup dialog box is black

When I go to firefox - Print - Print preview - Page setup OR
Firefox - Print - page setup
This dialogue box is black. I can't move or adjust it. Nothing is on that screen.
When I print a webpage (ctrl P, or Firefox, print) nothing is printing.
I tried a suggestion of resetting by following the instructions here. That did not work.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problems_printing_web_pages#Reset_printer

I just experienced this problem, and stumbled upon the cause and the fix. When I went to "File" and then "Print Preview" I was getting a "black" screen where the preview should have been. I tried the suggested fixes related to about:config printer settings and add-on's, etc... but it did not help.
Then, I looked at the "Page Set-up" when I was on the "Print Preview" page. The bottom margin (for whatever strange reason... have no clue) was set at a huge number of inches... like 43801.4 or some such. I changed it back to 0.3 inches... fixed it. Can print just fine now.
So... if all else fails: check your margin settings on page set-up.

Could be a number of issues. First could be a bad or not connecting transfer rollers which moves the toner from the drum to the paper. Only way to test is a half test by putting paper on the manual tray and printing a self test. When the back edge enters the printer, open the toner door to stop printing. Remove the toner and flip back the cover over the toner drum to see if there is any image on the drum. If image is present then it could be transfer roller issues. Use the service manual and look under engine diagnostics in the index and it will direct you to a page that shows how to perform an engine test. Do the test to see if you get a sheet of paper with lines on it. If you get lines, then the issue could be the formatter. If no lines and the shutter has been removed then I would think you are having high voltage issues. You may have to bring the printer in for service.

HP 6510 printing only blank pages after changing print cartridges

Hi,
My HP 6510 is printing only blank pages after I installed new print ink cartridges. I tried cleaning the print heads, aligning the printer... which did result in some pages printing with a little color (but it seemed "off" to me). That said, when I try to print a regular document from my PC it only prints a blank page.
I can't seem to figure this one out on my own - please help!
Thanks!
Chloe

The document here may help resolve black not printing on your Photosmart 6510. Be sure the cartridges are vented as shown in solution two.
Is your printer still in warranty? You can check with HP's warranty tool here.

How can I use metric units in Page Setup dialog box?

When I go to my Page Setup dialog box, in Margins tabs, I see that I can specify the margins in inches. However, in my friends PCs, I have seen Page Setup dialog boxes that use millimeters for handling margins.
How can I make my version of Firefox to use millimeters instead of inches? Using this obscure unit is inconvenient for me. I prefer to use the internationally-accepted metric unit.

I can't find documentation about the settings, so you'll need to experiment a bit. I hope you're using A4 paper size instead if US- Letter, because I suspect that you will find out that the length of the paper won't be able to be set to Letter if you use the metric size unit setting.
Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. <br />
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
Pref name = print.printer_''printer_name''.print_paper_size_unit <br />
and maybe <br />
print.printer_''printer_name''.print_paper_size_type <br />
Try setting the '''Value''' to '''1'''
There's a support thread about metric settings here.

Printing only odd/even numbered pages does not work

I've got following problem: Printing only odd/even numbered pages does not work. Not in Preview, nor Adobe Reader. I Don't know why. i'm using a hp Color LaserJet 2550L. I just worked fine, but I cannot remember the time this failing first occured. I really hope the problem will be solved quick and easy.
Thanks so far
Bastian.

Mine does not work either. I have trashed prefs, rewrote permissions, ran Disk Utility from a separate HD, etc. and I cannot get this feature to work.
I got 45 odd pages to print last night and now it won't print odd or even pages. I am reduced to printing every backside page one at a time. If I would have known about this problem before I could have saved myself an hour and just printed them all on single sided sheets. I tried to save paper and now I'm screwed (timewise)......
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You,

Officejet j6415 winows 7prints half pages and pages of gibberish since reinstalled printer software

When reinstalling the printer software, there is always a fatal error with no ID number. I have tried all the troubleshoot options for the installation but they do not work. My printer can still print fully (rarely) but mostly prints half pages and pages of gibberish. There are no error messages on the printer. Help!

Attempting to exit a tab in any fashion, the page puts up a dialog box and won't exit.

When attempting to exit a tabbed page by any means, the page puts up a dialog box that occupies a vertical strip of the entire computer screen. It has a question mark and says "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page?
PRESS ESCAPE OR CLOSE THIS ALERT"
When you press escape or close the alert, the dialog box goes away, but you don't exit the page.
I suspect a malefactor has somehow captured the page and modified its behavior, so I doubt the reported URL will help.
I need to find some foolproof way to close the tab.
Thank you,
John
and won't exit.

try clicking EDIT, on the upper ribbon of your firefox browser, then on the bottom click PREFERENCES, then on the top select the PRIVACY tab. On the right hand side under history there's a couple of buttons that say EXCEPTIONS and show cookies, select EXCEPTIONS and click on the website that is preventing you from closing the tab. Then on the bottom click REMOVE SITE. you can also remove cookies this way. Restart your computer and it should be normal. This worked for me, I hope it works for you!
oh yeah by the way when you click the PRIVACY tab, make sure the "Firefox will: use custom settings for history" option is selected.

Printing directly to printer without Print setup dialog box

I am using Crystal Reports 2008 with VB.NET 2008. Using the CrystalReportViewer control, how can I print directly to the printer without having the Print setup dialog box popup every time?

Only way would be to create your own print button and use the report engine APIs. A good sample app is vbnet_win_printtoprinter in this sample download:

How to avoid borderline coming between page and page in Htmlcss format

Hi there
I run a report output in HTMLcss format. Output is coming correctly.But what my problem is in the output i am getting some borderline (thick black line) between page and page. While i print the html i am getting this line at end of each page. What is this line and how to remove it htmlcss. i want printout without this line.I am using reports 10g version.
thanx in advance
prasanth a.s.

The line is caused by the default HTML code placed in the After Page Value property found in the Report Escapes section of the report property palette. Clear the value to delete the line

Diference between "Page" and "Page Forward"

Friends,
what is the differene between "Page" and "Page Forward" in the Struts component palette?
Thanks!

"Page" represents a page (like JSP, UIX, or HTML page)
The user would browse this page by typing something like:
http://somesite/someapp/somepage.jsp
"PageForward" is a Struts action whose only job in life is to forward control to an underlying page.
The user would browse this page by typing something like:
http://somesite/someapp/somepage.do
Since in an MVC architecture, typically you want all browser requests to go through your controller layer, that means that you typically don't want a user to short-circuit the controller layer by jumping straight to a *.jsp page (for example, by bookmarking that page in their browser's "favorites" list)
So, does that mean you should always use page forwards?
I personally don't think so, although some Struts developers may have a differing opinion than me.
Even if you create a page forward as a "front" for the underlying *.jsp page, if the user knows the URL to the *.jsp page directly, they can still short-circuit your controller layer.
So, what's really the best practice?
Put your JSP pages in a subdirectory of your ./WEB-INF directory as the BC4J Toy Store demo illustrates. The WEB-INF directory and any subdirector thereof, is by the J2EE specifications NOT BROWSEABLE from the outside of the J2EE web container. So, doing this prevents users from ever being able to browse your JSP pages.
If you adopt this practice, then you will typically have a Struts diagram that consists of Actions which forward to Pages (that are under ./WEB-INF). Even though the JSP pages under ./WEB-INF are not externally browseable, it is legal for code in the web tier (like your Struts controller layer code) to forward to such pages.
Net net, with this best practice, you are always in control.

My windows 7 pc recognizes my hp printer through airport but prints only various letters and symbols

my windows 7 pc recognizes my hp printer through airport but prints only various letters and symbols

Located a solution:
Go to Control Panel - Printers --- right click the printer and select Printer Properties.
Select the PORTS tab and disable Bi-Directional Printer Support. Seems to work whether the printer is installed either via USB or Cat5 to the Airport Extreme network.
For HP printers, if that first fix doesn't work, download and install the HP Install Network Printer Wizard - allow it to replace your 'newer' driver, but check hp.com for step by step instructions.
Third suggested fix is to download a PCL6 driver, or a different model-driver altogether that is more generic than model specific.

How can I get the "Open" and "Save As" dialog boxes to open at larger than their default size?

How can I get the "Open" and "Save As" dialog boxes to open at larger than their default size? I would like them to open at the size they were previously resized like they used to in previous operating systems. They currently open at a very small size and the first colum is only a few letters wide necessitating a resize practically every time one wants to use it. Any help would be appreciated.

Copy and paste into dialog boxes

Copy and paste into dialog boxes
Greetings:
This is a cross post, so sorry about that, but I had originally replied to a previous post,
before I realized it was probably the wrong forum
for my question.
Copying from a document to a dialog box field doesn't work anymore; How do I fix it?
We have the problem since upgrading to Tiger.
Our Mac users, during their workflow, paste a filename
from a document into the 'save as' field (when printing to a .ps file).
This no longer works. UNLESS they control click in the 'save as' field.
Then they can select 'paste' with the mouse. Why is this happening? and how can we fix it? (so they can just 'command C' then 'command V' as they used to).
We have repaired permissions, cleared user caches,
tossed finder prefs, logged in as another user,
all to no avail.
Thanks in advance!
z

Matt,
Thanks for your response.
I agree that something else is capturing the shortcut, as
all shortcuts are unavailable in the pulldown menus at that point where we used to be able to 'Command V' paste into the text field. We're not using Quick Keys, and the
Full keyboard access setings are default for OS 10.4.
I did experiement with turning of some of the modifier F key selections in the Keyboard system prefs but none made
any change for this issue. For now our work around will be to control click in the text field and select 'paste'.
Seems odd that the contextual menu is available for that field but a 'command V' or command control V doesn't work.
Not a huge deal, more of an irritant, but I'll keep on the hunt! Thanks again!
