Printing small column in center of page

Both my wife and I have started having printing problems when printing to our Lexmark Optra E312 laser printer. Until recently, everything was fine. Then my wife began having problems. All the pages she tried to print came out as a thin column of print down the center of the page (about 1/3 of the page). I could print fine, but then a day or so later, I started to get the same problem.
She was using Word. I was using AppleWorks. We print over an Airport Express, but I had the same problem when I switched the USB cable directly to my computer.
I can save the file as a PDF and then print that with Adobe Reader. Then it prints fine. So I assume the problem isn't with the printer but is with our OS X 10.4.7.
Has anyone experienced this problem? Any suggestions on what we might do to correct the problem?

Hello Kendall,
I haven't seen this in Word (don't have AppleWorks) so I can't offer a quick fix. So thought I'd ask some questions (sorry if some are obvious) to see if we can get a workaround.
Does the 'Quick Preview' in Word (File > Print) look okay or reduced?
If it looks okay, if you then click Preview in the print dialog, does it still look 1:1 or reduced when you view it in the Preview application?
In Word, in Page Setup, is the 'Format for' set to Any Printer or your Lexmark? Also, is the 'Paper Size' and 'Scaling' in Word set correctly?
Is the 'Default Paper Size' in System Preferences > Print & Fax set correctly?
If all the above is okay (just wanted to double check first) then maybe the preferences for the apps has a problem. Did the problem occur after the 4.7 update (not surprised if it did)? Try opening Disk Utility and running Repair Permissions. It's amazing how many problems this resolves.
If that doesn't help, go to your home folder > Library > Preferences > Microsoft (for Word) and delete the com.microsoft.Word.prefs.plist. Then restart the Mac and open Word and print something.
If this still doesn't help then I'd have to investigate this further..
Regards,
Paul

Adobe Form's First Page printing perfectly on 132 column sheet but further pages prints with small font size

Dear All,
We are facing a strange behavior of adobe form.
we made form for SAP CRM which is printing in 132 column(28cm * 33cm) sheet. what we are observing is, first page is printing perfectly on the pre printed Invoice sheet but if invoice has more items to be displayed then second page prints with small font size or you can say second page seems to be zoomed out to smaller page size. In Preview Second page onwards also looks perfect. Now we are in a fix what to do to come out of this issue.
efforts made:-
Adobe Page Size Adjusted.
Select paper Source by Page Size ticked in Adobe form properties
But still result is non satisfactory. Please Help.

See my answers below:
a) The size of the pages of PDF which you are printing. LETTER
b) Does all pages of the PDF are of same size? YES
c) What is the page size set in the Printer and what is the actual size of the paper which you have put in the tray? LETTER
d) Does this problem also happens on the virtual printer which you might have on your system (Try either Microsoft MPS Document writer or Adobe PDF Printer) No VIRTUAL PRINTERS
Thank you for attempting to help me with this... we have tried everything and haven't been able to resolve the problem.

How do i print multiple columns on 1 page in numbers

I think I am over thinking this but I have confused myself. I am using Numbers to create a spreadsheet of family names with their corresponding number. I would like to print multiple columns of names on one page to save paper but I can't figure how to do it. Will someone please help me???

Hi BestMommy,
Here is one way. Don't mess with your database. Create a new table for printing.
Database with a Header Row (named Table 1 as an example) might look like this:
Name
1
Name 1
2
Name 2
3
Name 3
4
Name 4
5
Name 5
6
Name 6
7
Name 7
8
Name 8
9
Name 9
10

11

Formula in A2
=Table 1::A2
Formula in B2
=Table 1::B2
Formula in C2
=Table 1::A9
Formula in D2
=Table 1::B9
So it loops back from the bottom of a page to start a new column.
I made this example small for the pics, but obviously you could have more rows and columns per page.
Having created your table for printing, select it, Cut, add a new sheet and Paste. Print just that sheet.
Have a look at 'More Like This' at the bottom of this page. Trying to format page to print table in two columns Jerry suggests using Pages instead of Numbers.

How to Print the Report Column headers on each page of any report

Can someone offer assistance on how I can go about achieving the ability to show and print the Report Column headers on each page of any report using the Print Attributes of APEX 3.0? These reports will be printed using Excel and Word.
I read a thread with a similar request but the answer seems vague for my level of understanding.
I am connected to a print server and using BI Publisher.
Thanks,
Ric

Hello Ric,
>> These reports will be printed using Excel and Word.
I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to do. You are using a very powerful tool – BI Publisher – why do you need Excel or Word for printing? Is there a special need only Excel or Word can provide?
One of the major advantages of using BI Publisher is that it's taking care of all these tedious tasks like reasonable page breaking, headers and footers, and also table headers.

Arie.

I have a long numbers document, that I'd like to make more print friendly. It is a list of my DVD's that I just listed one after the other (1-200) when I tried to print it, it would be 18 pages, can I change it to be more like columns side by side to save

S,
I assume that you also have Pages on your computer (or some other capable WP program). I also assume that you have eliminated any unnecessary columns, so you have a 1-column table in Numbers.
When it comes time to print, Copy the entire Table: Click on the table name in the Sheets Pane and Command-C.
Switch to Pages, open a blank WP template and set the number of columns to 3 or so. With the Text Insertion Cursor flashing on the first line of the first column of the blank template, Command-V. Your table should paste into the Pages document as an Inline Object and will Wrap on the page as you desire. Then Print in Pages.

Print (&preview) only prints small portion of page

When I use print preview, I see only a small portion of the upper left hand corner of the page, and if I try and print, that's exactly what prints.
I can scale down smaller to see the entire page, but it is still displayed in that small corner, and when printed is also reduced in size.

Thanks for response.
I should have added that I had tried that reset you suggested earlier, and now that entry isn't there any more. But it didn't help.
Then, just now I tried the third suggestion in the list. Everything was as it should be, right sized paper, no multiple pages/sheet, etc.
BUT, without changing anything, when I went back to try it again, it seems to be fixed.
I'm a little more confused, but I'll take a win no matter how I get it. ;-)

right click a blank area of the toolbar, click Customize. You'll see the printer icon there. Drag and drop it to where you want.
You can also find this option under View -> Toolbars -> Customize.

1) Define new window as type MAIN in Windows tab.
2) then go to "Page Windows" tab
select Edit > Create Element
select MAIN window from selection which is defined in step 1
3) enter window margin and width / height for window 1 (Column 1)
4) Repeast steps 2 & 3 for two more windows (for co;umn 2 & 3)
so you will have 3 windows as 3 columns of type MAIN, then if you try to print something, it will automatically flow through columns to next page
Thanks.

How can I print just a part of the page and not the full page with Adobe Reader v 10.1.2?

how can I print just a part of the page and not the full page with Adobe Reader v 10.1.2? I need to print a engineering print with lot of information but information is too small in letter size and I don't have a plotter.

Two ways to print a portion of a page: zooming or using the Snapshot Tool.
ZOOMING:
Zoom into the area you want to print.
Click the Print icon.
Under "Pages to Print", make sure "Current view" is selected under "More options" (you may need to click "More options" to open it).
If you aren't satisfied with the preview, try clicking "Fit" under the Size button.
SNAPSHOT
Choose Edit > Take A Snapshot.
Drag a rectangle around the area you want to print.
Click the Print icon.
Under "Pages to Print", make sure that "Selected Graphic" is selected under "More options".
To enlarge the snapshot to fit the sheet of paper, choose "Fit" under the Size button.
Hope this helps!

ADOBE: How to print a table only on uneven pages and a text on the back?

Hi, I am looking for a clear document on how to use pagination and the Odd and Even pages.
We need to print a table over several pages, but the table should only appear on Odd pages. The even pages should be skipped. On the even (back) pages we need to print "Terms and Conditions". Is that possible? Can it be done without scripting?
We are using ADOBE version 8.1
In the file properties, double sided is switched on, and version set to 8.1 and higher.
I created two Master pages, a FrontPage with ContentArea1and a BackPage with ContentArea2.
FrontPage is used for uneven pages, BackPage is used for the even pages. The masterpages are printed correctly (alternating properly).
One page was created for the table, totals etc.:
ITEMS: contains item data (table with header and footer). Place is "On Odd Page". After "Goto page BackPage", so there is always one page with the text. And if the table needs to be paginated it goes to BackPage with overflow leader "Conditions".
What should happen is that on the front pages the item table is printed. If there are too many lines then it should continue on page number 3 then 5 etc. All the even pages should display text only.
What actually happens is that the item table also gets printed in the content area for the Condition text...
The best I could achieve is to decrease the contenta area of the back page. To force pagination. But still it prints one table record in the (very small) content area of the back page before paginating to the next page (front page again). If it only would not do that, it would be fine.
Cheers,
Edwin.

Fixed it... After a lot of creating, deleting, playing around with pagination and the inevitable cursing...
I have created 5 pages:
1. FirstPage
     - Odd/Even: Odd (Front) Pages
     - Placement: First page (In page set)
2. FrontPage (For Odd pages)
     - Odd/Even: Odd/Front Pages
     - Placement: Rest of Pages
3. BackPage (For Even pages)
     - Odd/Even: Even (Back) Pages
     - Placement: Rest of Pages
4. LastPage
     - Odd/Even: No Odd/Even Restrictions
     - Placement: Last page (In page set)
5. DummyPage
     - Odd/Even: Blank pages
The 'Terms and conditions' are located on the BackPage and LastPage (as a text).
The table that is printed is (of course) located on a normal page (flowed subform).
Pagination tab: Placement = Following previous, and After = "Continue filling parent". No overflow... Basically, it's all default.
The table lines will now start on the first page and if there are more lines than can be printed on this page, it will continue in the next content area. That will be on the FrontPage.
The trick is that each master page must have a content area (mandatory). Except for Blank pages, but these cannot be used... Blank pages would only be used once, after the first page.
What I discovered is that you can drag a content area away from the Master page and attach it to a different master page.
Logically, if there is no content area on a page, then data cannot be printed there. So, I created a Dummypage. On this page I dumped the content areas from the LastPage and the BackPage. As a result, content cannot be printed anymore on the back of pages. Only the standard text (a text field) is printed there. When the data from the table is overflowing, it will automatically overflow from the FirstPage to the next content area. Which is located on the FrontPages only.
The DummyPage is NOT used anywhere.
The result is that the records can only be printed on the content areas that exist on the First and Front pages. The back pages are now skipped.
Duplex printing is now working correctly, and the text is printed on the back of all the pages.
Cheers,
Edwin.

A few suggestions for you:
Try:
uninstall all HP utilities or other HP apps on your Mac
see if there is updated software on the HP website
go to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners > Print
control-click on your printer in the column on the left
select "Reset Printing System..." and "reset" in the dialog that follows
Do a factory reset on your printer
go back to printers & scanners and it should see your printer and download a driver for it from Apple

BIP - not to print on the back of the page base on certain condition?

Hi,
I have a BIP rtf word template to print job class title report. The report prints on front and back of a page if it is under the same job class title, which is fine. But when it is a different job class title (fk_job_title), I want to print on the front of a new page not the back of the previous page. Is there a way I can control the different job class title to print on front of a new page? This is how my template looks. Thank you so much in advance for all your help.

Hi Vetsrini,
Thank you so much for your quick respond.
I do have the PB - <?split-by-page-break:?> on my template in the PB (NOTES: special_note E (last column on the row)
PB)
The problem that I am having with is when my report (under the same class title) print on front (of page # 1), continue on back of page 1(which is page # 2), and continue on front of page 3.
If my class title change to a different class title, this print on the back of page 3 (which is page # 4), but I want it to start a new page (5). I don't want this to print on the back of page 3. If the user needs to pull certain job class specification, then all the printed pages should only have information for that particular job class. I hope I am not confusing you.
This is the lay out of my template.

Printing a project with about 500 pages

Hello,
the company I'm working for is currently discussing using robohelp for the technical documentation. So now I'm trying to find out, if robohelp really suits our needs or not. Currently I'm testing robohelp 9 on a windows xp system with word 2010.
In the documentation for robohelp it says, that one should not print documents with more than 100 pages. So I tried to print separate documents, but couldn't generate a suitable TOC - the result was simply a document, stating, that a TOC couldn't be generated, which won't be a acceptable output. My question is: how can I generate a TOC though printing several small chapters of the document?
Or is it possible to print a project with about 500 pages without using those single documents?
(Up till now, it was no problem for me, to generate a suitable printing documentation, but I'm not sure, if this will still work, when the project is complete and then contains about 500 pages.)

Hi Feebeegeebee,
thanks a lot for your answer!
Well, I tried to generate individual documents by using the flag "individual documents" in the printing config... but then the TOC is printed separately and therefore doesn't contain anything at all...
If you're generating those separate documents, then how do you get a suitable TOC? (Especially if you don't intend to make different books and therefore the pages should be numbered as if they would all belong to the same document). And what about the links... do they still work if one part of it is generated in a different document?
