Printing same document to different printers results in differint number of pages

Hello - when I print a form, created in a custom application, to an HP 1160, it prints on 4 pages.  When I use the same computer and application to print the form to an HP 1320, it prints on 3 pages.  The form was designed to print on 3 pages, and when I compare the 4 page printout to the 3 page printout, the font size on the 3 page  printout is slightly smaller.  Is there anything I can do, short of replacing my 1160 printers with 1320s?
Thank You

First of all, you can't use Adobe Reader to add, delete or duplicate pages in a PDF file (unless you use a template object), so you're either using Adobe Acrobat, or some other application entirely.
The size of PDF files is not linear, ie if you have 1-page file and it's 1 MB, then duplicating it will results in a 2-page file of 2 MB, or a 10-page file of 10 MB. Many items in a PDF document only need to be saved once (such as font information, image information in some cases, etc.), so the change in size when adding additional pages is sometimes very small. At other times it can be very big, though. You can have a 100-page file that is 1 MB and then add a single page to it, with a new font perhaps, and the size will jump to 5 MB, just because that font is very large...

  • Need to print same outputs at different printers

    Is there any way we could have the output directed to a different printer. A sales order confirmation output needs to print at printer ABC for user Sam, and printer xyz for user Jude. What configuration change would allow printing of outputs at user specific printer.
    Any suggestions

    if it is printing immediately , yes it is possible. In the user profile( T Code SU01) have default printer assigned , which ever you want to print for specific user and click on output immediately. when  the order is saved then it will print to the printer maintained in the user profile.
    If batch program , then itwill be difficult

  • Is it possible to print one document to two printers?

    I need to print one document to two printers at the same time.
    Can I accomplish this with printer pools in OSX Server?  I've found several 3rd party vendors for Windows, but nothing for the Mac.
    Any help would be great!
    Thanks!
    Josh

    Thanks Alec!
    Is there a way to get the print pool to print to both printers at the same time?  With the pool it just switches the jobs between the two right?
    I actually need to click Print once, and have it print on both printers.
    Thanks for your help!

  • 49.4c06 error on several HP Printers when printing same document

    We have a number of HP printers and are currently struggling to get certain documents to print off  (colour prints) on any of the printers without getting a 49.4c06 error every time.
    The document(s) are compiled in MS Word 2007 (retro'd to 97/2003 version) and include tracked changes that require printing as part of the document
    We only appear to get these issues when printing these types of document and wonder if it is a printer or document issue

    >Has anyone come across a similar scenario?
    Yeah, it's come up in the forum before. Usually older HP printers with old firmware. If newer firmware is available, I would try that. Otherwise you'll need to use the PCL driver.

  • PLD: How to print 1 document to 2 printers

    Dear All,
    Can someone tell me how to print 1 document to 2 different printers? I need this for my delivery documents. 1 copy goes to 1 printer with normal A4 paper (return with signature copy) and the other needs to go the the other printer which has pre-printer paper with a logo and different color paper (for client to keep copy).
    Can this be done with normal functionality or does this require an add-on?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    This can be done using a UDF.
    If Value of UDF is 1 then all the field related to the Deliver document has to Print
    If Value of UDF is 2 then all the field related to the Pre-printed format has to print
    This can be done by changing the UDF whenever your are taking the print out you have to select the UDF so that they can take the Delivery Document and Pre-printed document by using Formula field in the Single Print Layout.
    But you have to customize the report according to that.      I Had done the same for my client.
    Once the Problem is solved please close this issue.

    i am getting different output on different printers as well. I have classes defined as Printeable that draw forms, each form has 75 questions and they are all done using graphics2D some printer prints all the pages perfectly some other with different margin and on a laser printer i get only one box.
    If it helps someone, for testing, i printed to file (.prn) and read the ouput through Red Titan it's free
    it showed me one box out of 76
    just the first one ????

    by the way
    bk.append((Printable)componentsToBePrinted[i],pf);
    componentsToBePrinted[] is an array of classes that implements Printeable and they all draw the forms correctly and sends to the printer. It is working mostly but i needed to work on alll printers no exceptions

  • Print the report to different Printers

    Hi,
    We are using Oracle EBS 11.5.10.2.
    We've defined a check printing report , which prints the output to a printer directly.
    We've mentioned this printer in the Concurrent Program definition.
    Its printing the output to a pre printed stationary.
    Now we need to print output to different printers based on the responsibility.
    Can anyone tell me the best way to achieve it.

  • Print same report  with different watermark

    i want to print the one report with different watermark
    means suppose we generate the report and print the 10 copy of the same report but want 4 copy with one watermark and 6 with different watermark.
    i have the number of watermark copy in the table .
    pls give me the solution
    regards
    anurag

    Thank you for your helpful response.  What I am really asking is this -- when there is a CR2008 report based on db1, table1, and you want to use the SAME report with an identical table in a DIFFERENT database (db2, table1), can I easily use the same report?  Or, do I have to generate another version of the report?
    Thank you again.

  • Printing few documents from the query results

    Hi,
    I need to add a new functionality of marking few documents from the search results and print them (the web viewable files (PDFs in most cases)).
    We are working with UCM 10g.
    Is there any OOTB solution for printing via content server? is it available for batch of documents?
    Any suggestions for solution are welcome.
    Thanks In advance ,
    Nir

    Is there any OOTB solution for printing via content server? is it available for batch of documents? To my best knowledge, no. Oracle has some products in its application stack to support printing. I think one of them was called Documaker.

    DO NOT USE PREVIEW TO FILL OUT PDF FORMS, IT WILL DESTROY PDF FILES. Sorry, but I had to shout here to prevent damage to your PDF files.
    Here is one of the symptoms when you fill out a PDF form with Preview: If you save it and return it to the author, they will not be able to see the text that you've added to form fields - unless they click on a field, which will reveal the contents of just that field. You can recover from this problem, but Preview will also remove other field types, and will actually rewrite your complete PDF while ignoring what it does not understand. Take a look at this blog post for more information about the damage that Preview will cause: Preview.app - Killer of PDF Files

  • When I air print from my iPad, I can't limit the number of pages. It just says print and the number of copies and I end up with way more than I want. How do I set it to limit the pages?

    When I air print using FingerPrint from my ipad, it doesn't let me limit the number of pages, and I end up with more pages than I want. It asks if I want multiple copies, but it doesn't ask me number of pages, or which pages. Is there a way to do this?

    When you use an AirPrint compatible printer, you get this option for page range. You are using your computer as the server in order to print, so you probably have to set the range on the computer. While you can print from your printer with this app, I assume that it doesn't give you the same control that you get directly from the iPad when using an AirPrint printer.
    Read this from the FingerPrint support site. Selecting the page range would be part of the formatting of a print job.

  • Export to PDF and print same swatch colour - different variation of colour on printouts

    I have multiple documents - they are all set up the same way.
    I have 2 or 3 swatches in each of them -namely Rubine Red is giving me an issue - this is the same swatch in every document!
    ===============
    The Swatch
    ===========
    Colour Settings
    Here are my Colour Settings - the exact same in every document - I have also used the "Convert Profiles" and made sure all are the exact same.
    =================
    Export to PDF
    When I export to PDF - the export looks great - and the coloured frames all look the exact same - and they give the exact same colour read outs in any profile I look at in the Preflight Manager
    The CMYK Reading is 4/99/20/0 in all boxes
    ====================
    The printed result
    ==================
    Same colour settings

    Can anyone help me with this?
    The printer I am using is a XeroxColorQube using PS driver.
    Windows 7
    Adobe InDesign CS5.5
    Fully updated

    I've also exported the document to IDML - and I've unzipped that folder. I've read the information for the colour - there's only 1 reference to Rubine Red and that's giving the same percentages as the InDesign file.
    I don't know where the 2nd shade of pink is coming from.
    But I suspect that it's from the print driver itself.
    Also - just occured to me, I lost my PDF settings a while ago, InDesign crashed and the PDF defaults were missing - I dowloaded a copy of a set from someone on these forums through a google search.
    But I no longer have PDF x4 export option - where can I retrieve these.
    How can I restore the original PDF settings for InDesign?

  • Print proofing in CS2 - different to results

    Help!
    Can anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong. I have a calibrated monitor and profiles for my printer and paper I am using. When I get a photo just right in Photoshop with the proofing on I then print with preview and what is shown is different, a lot darker and more contrasty. The "wrong" preview is what is actually pronted. It seems as though the print proofing is somehow not working. This is the same for all the printer profiles I have, even for on-line printers!. I have set that CS2 should control color management on the printer set up.
    Help. I am pulling my hair out(what's left of it!)

  • Printing same smartform with different set of records continuously.

    Hi SDNer,
    Suppose a table contain Studet info like the following one:
    ID   Name    Sub1       Sub2     Sub3
    1    xxx        sb11       sb12     sb13
    2    yyy        sb21       sb22     sb23
    3    zzz        sb31       sb32     sb33
    Think that the smartform contain only a single page(Suppose smartform of student result).In the Selection screen User can put the range of ID.When User put 1-3 the smartform print 3 pages---1st for the student with id 1,2nd for student with id 2 and 3rd for student with id 3.when user put the input 1-2 the smartform print 2 pages.I need your help to accomplish such a scenario.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Sarbajit.

    Hi,
    As per user's selection criteria you need fetch data in your driver program and need to store it in an internal table. The same internal table you need to pass to smartform. to handle your requirement of displaying one student record per page you need to use COMMAND node (with some condition). Using this you can force your smartform for page-break.
    I hope this will help you to start and explore further.
