Printing to printer on windows xp computer, only prints first page

hey all,
I need some help. i just switched to a mac and I am loving it, but in my small office, I am having trouble printing. Two printers are connected to a Windows XP computer. I can connect to them via the network and print, but it only prints the first page...Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

Hello Cate_B and welcome to Apple Discussions.
The CIFS host error message is often a result of the Mac not being able to resolve the Windows computer name. This would be confirmed by the fact that when you selected Add Printer > Windows, your mums computer did not appear after selecting the workgroup. A solution could be to check what workgroup name is set in her Windows and ensure your Mac is set to the same workgroup name (set via the WINS section of the Advanced network settings.
For an easier fix you could try the SAMBA method again, but this time I suggest you try the following syntax.
smb://IP Address of Mums Computer/Sharename
Some other things to check...
1. Make sure the printer is shared by mums computer and ensure a guest can access it.
2. Ensure the share name is short (about 8 characters) and contains no spaces.
3. Check that your Epson driver will work when shared by a PC. Some Mac printer drivers will only work when connected directly to the Mac via USB (this is the case with a number of Canon drivers). In this case, you need to use an alternate driver based on CUPS, such as the Gutenprint driver set. These will work across a network and a cross-platform share.
Hope this helps you...

Recently, when I try to print from within Firefox (Mac 10.6), only the first page is properly formatted. This doesn't happen when using Safari.

I regularly print newspaper articles that I view in Firefox. Until recently, multi-page documents formatted beautifully. Now only the first page is properly formatted. The other pages are enlarged and shifted to cuttoff several lines of text at the top of the page.

Once you set that preference it should hold that setting. You could try 125% but it might clip the right-side of the page.

My Mac won't share the printer to my wifes windows 7 computer

My Mac won't share the printer to my wifes windows 7 computer. Worked fine with Snow Leopard but with Lion it won't print from my wifes computer. It also won't connect with file sharing anymore. Any solution that may help please? Thank You

Thanks Barbara for contacting me..
Emma, as per what I have read above, this seems to be very weird scenario. To be frank, I dont have a direct answer as to why the DVD is not running properly on the machine and why does it ejects automatically.
But, I can suggest a workaround.
Can you insert the DVD on some other machine(Win/Mac), and copy the complete "Adobe Photoshop Elements 8" folder on some external drive.
Then attach the external drive to your Mac and copy the folder onto your machine say on the desktop.
If this much part can be done, then you just need to go inside the folder, and double click on Setup.app to launch the installer.
Does it helps?

Only the first page for a particular site prints. All other sites are fine.

I'm running Firefox 10.0.2 on Windows 7 SP1 and when I try to print the web page of the affected URL ( http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Connect-to-another-computer-using-Remote-Desktop-Connection ), only the first page is printed. It prints fine in IE 9. I tried printing in safe mode and it still only prints the first page. I only tried printing it once, after that I used print preview alone. I used print preview on a dozen other sites and it works fine. By the way, on the web page I'm trying to print you must "Show All" at the bottom to expand all of the text. It's just this one web page. Can someone else with a similar setup try print preview on this page for me? I just want to know. I printed it using IE. Interestingly, if you scale the print preview down enough, all of the text shows up. Thanks...

Well, I've made a little progress. I saved the web page source locally and then added the following HTML snippet to the <head> section:
<style type="text/css">
div
page-break-before:always;
</style>
When I display this, the "Show all" does not work, but the page text is still long enough to do "Print Preview" and expect more than one page. The result is a blank first page (expected) and then ALL of the page text is printed on the next two pages.
But I think you are correct "the-edmeister" in saying that Firefox may have a problem when the DIV tag spans more than one page. The reason is that the third page only contains the footer, so I can't say for sure if the whole DIV block was printed. But at least the footer did show up this time.
If I can get the "Show all" block to expand then maybe that question will be answered. Any thoughts?

Only the first page is printed reduced as setup. All pages afterward are full size with information cut off. Recent problem. Can print from Safari just fine. How can I get all pages to be reduced size?

How do I print only the first page of multiple PDF documents?

I have about 1,500 PDF files (scientific papers) that I need to print only the first page of... Any suggestions on how to do this as a single job or as a few jobs? The files are organized in a bunch of different folders, so if there was some way to do this folder by folder, that would be ok too. Thanks!

Make sure that in System Preferences Printing & Fax pane you set the default printer to the one you want to use, then put all of these PDF files into their own folder, then open terminal and type the following (without hitting return afterward):
lpr -o page-ranges="1-1"
Then drag one of the PDF files into the terminal window (it will add it's path to the end of your command) and replace the file name with *.pdf, so it will look like this:
lpr -o page-ranges="1-1" /Users/todd/Documents/My\ Folder/*.pdf
Then hit return.

Cheque printing only on first page

Hi,
Iam a newbie in XML/BI Publisher. I am doing a AP Cheque printing. In the report I have to print the invoice lines and at the bottom of first page I need to print the cheque. I did all necessary stuffs for this in the RTF template.
But now the cheque is getting printed in the second page if the lines comes to the second page or after printing the lines if there is no space for the cheque then its getting printed in the next page.
Can anyone guide me how to print the cheque only in the first page bottom alone.
The sample output which I needs is like this,
page 1-
Invoice line number
line.
line.
line.
line.
line.
line.
line.
|..............................|
| cheque print...........|
page 2
Invoice line number
line.
line.
line.
line.
line.
line.
line.
line.
line.
line.
line.
line.
line.
line.
thanks a ton in advance.

Hmm,
There is no way you can say fix that and show this only in first page.
but you can achieve it.
1st method.
give enough space for the check in the first page, by reducing the no of lines in the first page, so that you can accommodate the cheque .
for this, you can do like,
if the position is less than 9 and mod of postion is zero , that means you are in 9 line, then call a sub-template and after that you can put a page-break. this condition is for first page only.
now put an another if condition here, if the position is > 9 and position mod X is zero, then put a page break. x is no of lines to be displayed in 2nd, 3rd, 4th pages.
2nd method.
put the differnet header and footer for first pge.
and cal the sub-template in footer of first page.
in tht sub-template you have the check.

Print the Check information in the AP pay check only in first page

Hi All,
I am using embedded BI publisher to develop RTF template. I have a requirement,
I have to print a AP Pay check using BI publisher desktop tool.
At present I am printing the invoice lines and then printing the check info in the last page. But our client requirement is to print the check info in the first page itself.
I divided the page into two parts. First part is to print the invoice details and second part is to print the check info.
In the first part I am print at max 40 lines. if at all one check doesn't have 40 lines then I will fill the empty space for the remaining lines.
If at all the details have more than 40 lines I will break the page at 40th line and print the renaming lines in the second page.
I want to print the check details at second part of the first page.

As I understand, you have one header which is set to appear every alternate page. Now you have another content which you want to show only on first page. In that case any content.. say an image, which is there on the page will appear only once.. (unless it is placed in the header section of RTF). It seems you have invoice number and address which should appear only on the first page of invoice... so just keep these two items at the top of the body of the RTF (not in the header). Just make sure that it is enclosed within the for-each-group@section logic, so that whenver the new invoice number appears it moves to a new page and you will see the address and invoice number there.

Thank you for the response. I tried to fix the problem with some of the suggestions on that page, but none seem to work. I believe that is the only website that I'm having that problem on. I got to fooling with it a bit more and when I highlight the whole page and select to print the selected area, it actually prints the whole page then, but it won't do it as a default. I guess I can just do it like that from now on, but I thought there would be something in the settings that I could have changed. Thanks again for the help.

How can I print only the first page of multiple PDF files at once in my PC?

That is, without having to open each file individually.
Thanks!

Create an Action with the following JS command:
this.print({bUI: false, nStart: 0});
This will cause the first page of all the files you process with this Action to be sent to your default printer.
If you need to specify more complex parameters, you'll need to use a more complex code...

Why does only the first page of seach results show, with further pages graying out?

In a search, I may get >1,000,000,000 hits, but only the first page is readable. "Next" gives me a grayed out screen and FF freezes. Any of the offered searches at the bottom of that first screen will do the same thing. Repeated hitting "back" will clear it.
This has been true, through all the upgrades, including a backgrade to 3.6 (?) for 64-bit. This makes FF useless as a search platform, though it is my preference, even over Chrome, if it would work.
Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-bit, 8GB Ram
High speed to house, wireless lan in house

That does seem rather useless.
Use Automator - it has a "PDF to Images" action that will do exactly what you need. Drop your document into the workflow, drop the "PDF to Images" action in right after that, set any options that you need (like where to save) and then click "run"
Barring that, I've found that sometimes Adobe Reader will sometimes work well for documents that Preview can't print, and I've found some documents that Adobe Reader chokes on but Preview handles flawlessly.

Only shows first page after interactive sort.

We've developed a number of reports on Reporting Services 2005. These are going to be displayed to the users via a browser embedded in an application using the standard ReportServer URLs, with the toolbar and parameters hidden. Parameters are passed via
the URL.
As there is no toolbar, for multi-page reports pages are displayed below each other, with a gap and the header row (column names) repeated. This is how we want it to be. The problem comes if you add an interactive sort to a column. It displays fine initially
with the pages below one another as before, but when you click the interactive sort only the first page is displayed and there is no way to access the subsequent pages as the toolbar is hidden and they're not displayed below as we want them to be. Is there
any way around this?

Hi Andy_Cap,
Thanks for your question.
According to your description, it seems like for different pages of one specified report, you using one WebBrowser control in your application,
the WebBrowser’s URL is one report’s standard URL in ReportServer, you had hidden the toolbar and parameters of the report, so you passed the parameters via URL. Although you had added interactive sort to the report, when clicked on the column,
just the first page changed, the other pages have no effect, right? If I misunderstand your question, please let me know.
Based on previous understanding, I had tried to reproduce the scenario on my local computer, it works fine. My approach is
setting the report’s InteractiveSize is 0, thus all of the data will being displayed in one webpage and the Interactive sort has effect.
1. Double-click the report in the Solution Explore, select Report in the Properties window.
2. Locate to the property of InteractiveSize, expand it, set the Width’s value is 0cm.
Hope it help you. If there is anything unclear, please feel free let me know.
Thanks,
Sharp Wang
