Printing pdf files made from Filemaker docs on HP 7410 cuts off top margin

Just bought a MacBook Pro and jumped from Tiger to Snow Leopard.
Also bought FileMaker 10 replacing the FileMaker 8.5 I used up till the MacBook Pro purchase and system upgrade.
Still using the same HP 7410, but during installation, I think I remember upgrading the printer driver. At any rate, this HP Printer is now much more responsive. It was previously very slow.
When I now save documents printed as pdf's from filemaker (as I used to) and then try to print them on the HP 7410, they open fine in Preview showing the whole page with no text cut off. But when I press Print in preview and I get the HP driver preview of what will print as part of the print dialogue box, it shows the top margin of the page cut off (down to at least 1/2 ") and actually prints that way. Before the switch to Snow Leopard and the MacBook Pro, a top margin of 1/4 " worked fine and printed in pdf docs.
(top margins of 1/4" on Word & Excel documents I tested still seem to print fine)
I use the borderless printing work-around, but that seems inelegant. It also takes much, much............much longer to print when it's in that mode (even fast draft).
Why is this happening?
Is there a setting I am missing?
Can this be fixed?
Steve

What print driver are you using?
I set my printer to use the open source Gutenprint driver in place of the one supplied with my printer to resolve an issue I was having - see my post http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1626340&tstart=0
The Gutenprint home page is http://gutenprint.sourceforge.net/index.php3

  • Print pdf file directly from a folder, Adobe Reader X in  Windows Server 2003

    In previous versions of Adobe Reader we were able to print pdf files groupwise directly when selected in a folder.
    Now I've installed Reader X on the Windows Server 2003 environment. Logged in as administrator I can still select <Print> by selecting the right mouse button in a folder. Logged in as a user, this is not available.
    I checked user-rights and permissions and made sure they have full control.
    Someone who can help us in this matter?
    Thanks

    Thanks for your reply.
    The file menu doesn't show the print option either. We used to work this way, after installing the 9.0 and Reader X version, this option has disappeared from both the File menu and the right mouse button. For other filetypes, for example Excel the Print option is still available and works properly. Logged in as administrator on the serverconsole, there is no problem. So it seams to be something specific to pdf-formats in a server 2003 environment. The userrights are all set on full control (same as administrator).
    Thanks again

  • How to print PDF files directly from SAP?

    We have created output that is being saved in a PDF format. We can store it on any drive or send it through email. However, we would like to be able to print a PDF file directIy without any manual intervention. Now users still have to open the file and hit the print button and we want to avoid this. So basically we want to be able to create e.g. a sales order, generate an order confirmation in PDF format and send it directly to the output device that we stored in output master data. I have a feeling it is not possible to print directly because output device has to be like a PDF1 to create the PDF file itself and there is no space left somewhere to store the physical output device. We use ECC 5.
    kind regards

  • Problem with printing pdf file created from Illustrator

    Hello,
    In a drawing I created with Illustrator 10.0.3 I covered part of a circle with a white rectangle (to make it disappear). I saved it as pdf. When printing the pdf (under Linux with a HP printer), the covered part reappeared. However the pdf-file is how it should be. Anybody knows what the problem is?

    No, it is not set to overprint. Also, I have to add that the printing results were not consistent. Sometimes it covered and sometimes it did not.

  • Faxing PDF files made from cfdocument

    We recently upgraded to mx and we instituted the
    cfdocument tag to create our pdf files that we send as faxes or
    email attachments. Our faxes are not being printed correctly if
    they are sent to a standard fax machine. However the pdf file looks
    fine and is delivered and viewable on screen with no problem via
    email or electronic fax. Any ideas?

    Flatten the files before combining them.

  • Can't Print PDF files exported from Pages

    I spent all weekend creating a 25 page document - exported it to PDF and it won't print at all. Sent it to 50 customers before I discovered the problem
    I used the same fonts and template last year in a document in Version 1 of Pages and had no problems.
    I can print directly from Pages and also no problems printing if I export to Word but not PDF which is of course the format I require!
    I checked the security setting in Acrobat and none are set so it sould be fine!
    Help!?!

    Can you open and print the the file in Preview? I found Acrobat Reader a little flakey with X and deleted it from my system. I use Preview for everything.
    Instead of the export feature have you tried printing to pdf? See if it makes any difference.

  • Printing pdf files E90

    Its all fine that we can view pdf files on the Nokia E90. What if I wanted to print a pdf file to a printer like I can print emails and other documents. I cannot find a print menu for this on the Nokia E90.

    I guess you can't print pdf files direct from E90, but through your PC Nokia PC suite. I've tried to print from USB port from E90, but couldn't make a connection.

  • No longer possible to save or print PDF files from browsers

    I am suddenly having a problem saving or printing PDF files from the browser, but it extends to all browsers in OS X. I can view the PDF normally but if I try to print as PDF all it shows is two black pages. Then if I try to save as a PDF it tells me the document could not be exported. I just tried this with a PDF and the only way I could get it was via Windows running on Parallels. I've already tried resetting the printer by removing and adding it again with the alt key pressed but this made no difference.
    This all started about a week or so ago and I just ignored it at first thinking it was something wrong with a particular file but now it's happening in all cases. I'm running the latest 10.7.3 on a new Mac Pro and everything is up to date. Does anybody know what might be causing this?
    Thanks

    Quit Safari.
    Open the Library folder in your home folder as follows:
    ☞ If running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar.
    ☞ If running an older version of Mac OS X, select Go ▹ Go to Folder… from the Finder menu bar and enter “~/Library” (without the quotes) in the text box that opens.
    Delete the following items from the Library folder:
    Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Preferences/com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist
    Preferences/QuickTime Preferences
    Relaunch Safari and test.

  • I can't print pdf files from my macbook air

    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.

    Not able to print PDF files from either my iPad or smart phone

    You probably don't have a printer which supports AirPrint:

    If your printer is not supported, you can buy a utility like PrinterPro from Readdle on the App Store. That's what I've used to print.
