Printing web pages problem

Hi mac users,
I have been using my ibook with my lexmark printer for a couple of years without too many problems. Just now I have been trying to print out a google map but it just freezes when I press print. I can't then cancel and get away from the page without shutting down the computer manually. I thought it was just that site so tried again with the same map from a different web site. Again, no joy. So I tried printing a word document. That printed fine. What could be the problem, does anyone know. I just can't understand why I am having a problem printing from the web. It has never happened before.

Hi,
Your profile show you're using 10.4.6. If you're using Safari update to 10.4.11 and try again. Older versions of Safari have begun to have problems with Java (which Google maps uses). In fact the Panther version of Safari will crash trying to load Google maps. Otherwise download Firefox and use it. It has no problems with Google maps.

  • All of a sudden I have problems printing web pages wwith Firefox 3.6.8 (XP), but printing pdf pages is still fine (printing with other software as well)

    Suddenly I can't print web pages with Firefox 3.6.8 anymore, but pdf pages pose no problem - the same applies to printing with any other software

    Thanks edmeister for your trouble!
    I guess I should have written that I had tried the tips on 'reset printer' and 'does not print to paper at all' before I posted the question - to no avail.
    The printer starts as normal: it's the right printer selected, the dialogue window shows the progress of sending the data to the printer - and after that: that's it. It simply vanishes from the queue, and nothing happens.

  • Reinstalled Acrobat Pro 8.1.6 won't let me print web pages to PDFs

    I'm really ticked at Adobe's "help" in updating the program only to cause a lot of misery.  I'd read Acrobat had a security update, and got a constant reminder from Adobe update to install the available update.  I've been using Acrobat Pro 8.1.6 with absolutely no problems printing web pages to PDFs.  I installed the 8.1.7 update which immediately disabled Acrobat completely.  So I wasted a lot of time uninstalling Acrobat and reinstalling sequential versions to get back to 8.1.6.  Now I can't print web pages to a PDF.
    I had NOT done anything else to installed programs in the meantime, except that probably Norton has automatically updated antivirus files in the background.  I don't have any problems using Acrobat to open and print an existing PDF, or to create new PDFs from my scanner.  I can do a hardcopy print of a webpage by selecting my Brother printer.  From Word 2002 and Excel 2002, I can create a PDF by "printing" to Acrobat as usual.   The only problem is creating a PDF by "printing" a webpage by selecting Acrobat as the device from the list of available printers.  This problem happens both with Firefox and with Internet Explorer 7.
    I have Windows XP Pro SP3.  I did the most recent Windows Tuesday security update several days before messing around with Acrobat and did not have any problems printing PDF files from Firefox or IE7.  So, it seems like it's clearly an Adobe Acrobat problem.  I get the small box saying "Preparing to Print" which goes nowhere and then I have to use the Task Manager to get out of the loop.  That closes Firefox, and when I reopen Firefox, the same webpage comes up.

  • HT4356 I have the up photos smart 5514 printer and can't get it hooked up to print web pages. It says no air printers found and both a connected to the same wifi

    I have the up photos smart 5514 printer and can't get it hooked up to print web pages. It says no air printers found and both a connected to the same wifi

    Shannmo-
    The HP PhotoSmart 5514 is on Apple's list of AirPrint printers, so it should work.  <iOS: AirPrint 101>
    One problem might be that your WiFi router does not correctly handle Bonjour data required by AirPrint.  Contact the router's manufacturer to see if there is a change to its setup or a firmware update that will solve the problem.
    I had a printing problem several months ago, where the WiFi had jumped to a neighbor's WiFi that happened to have the same name.  There are a LOT of WiFi routers out there named "Linksys"!

  • D 110 PRINTER WEB PAGE PRINT INFO

    Hello to all and Blessings. My question is -- Before HP's software update a few months ago I think, printing web pages included a header with document ID/name and a footer with the web address and date of printing. does anyone else remember this and is there a way to reactivate those functions? Can we compel HP to write that back into the software? Is there simple workaround to the same result.
    Webpage URL and date was so handy for when I looked something up or printed a crtical email adn such. Hope I did this right and that someone can help. 
    Thank you all in advance

    Hi,
    If cutepdf has an option to embed fonts, you can try enabling it. Usually you may find the options in Firefox '''File''' ('''Alt''' + '''F''') > '''Print''' > '''Properties''' (for cutepdf) but in some cases you may also have to check the documentation/help for the relevant printer. If it was working earlier, you can also try to [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-printing-problems-firefox reset the print options].

  • Printing web page to pdf file using Acrobat Standard 9

    When I print a web page to a pdf file, the text in the file is mostly garbled.  I have no problems in creating pdf files from MS office or other software.  I have Windows 7 Home.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I do have Internet Explorer 9 and I was able to print web pages correctly following  your suggestions.
    Thanks for your help.

    There were problems with IE9 on it's initial release and that may be what you are seeing if that is the browser (you did not indicate the browser and that may be a key). If you have a different browser you might try that one with the same pages to see if it browser related.
    By saying garbled it sounds like the fonts did not make it or you have selected "Use Local Fonts" in Acrobat. Try checking the latter first. Then check if the fonts are embedded in the PDF by checking the document properties (ctrl-D). If they are not, go back to the browser and select the press or print job options before printing and see if they get embedded and if your problem is resolved.

  • Officejet 4630 printer won't print web page google chrome windows 3

    HP 4630 officejet printer Google Chrome Browser Windows 8
    I can't print web pages or selections from a Web Page directly. I have to copy and paste into Adobe or OneNote.
    Not using wireless--direct hookup. Is this normal? any info  on steps I can take to print directly from a web page
    would be appreciate! thanks

    Hello stok60,
    Welcome the HP Forums!
    I understand you're unable to print from Google Chrome using the Officejet 4630. I will do my best to assist you! I would recommend following this document on Printing Problems With Google Chorme.
    If this document doesn't resolve your issue, then please try uninstalling Google Chrome by following this document here. Now, install the latest version of Google Chrome here.
    Have you tried a different Web Browser to see if you're receiving the same problem?
    Another option you can try is using Google Cloud Print since your printer has ePrint as an added feature. I will provide two documents to help you. This document tells you information on What is Google Cloud Print? This document tells you how to set up this feature here.
    Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great night!
    I worked on behalf of HP.

    First of all, update Firefox to 3.6.17 via Help | Check For Updates.
    There was a security breach at Comodo which is an SSL certificate provider recently whereby a number of fraudulent certificates were inadvertently issued. These allow a hacker to impersonate any site including online banking and the Firefox version you're running at the moment will not warn you that the site is a fake. The fraudulent certificates were blacklisted in v3.6.17 and beyond.
    To uninstall the Yahoo Toolbar, go to Tools | Add-ons | Extensions. You should find it in there.
    To revert to Google as your preferred search engine, please do the following.
    * In the location bar, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter.
    * In the filter at the top, type: '''keyword.URL'''
    * Double click it and remove whatever's in there and replace it with http://www.google.com/search?q=
    The URL to add in "keyword.URL" becomes a link in this post, so right click it and choose "Copy Link Location" to copy it to the Windows clipboard. Then hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type the whole thing.
    '''To reset your home page, do the following'''.
    * Go to the site you want to set as your homepage.
    * Go to '''Tools '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''
    * Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu.
    * Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen.
    After you complete the above steps, install this add-on to prevent another search engine from modifying your preferences: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/browserprotect/
    Additonal security risks on your system are the version of Flash you have installed at the moment. See http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb11-12.html
    Update via http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Printing issues might be fixed by installing Java via http://www.java.com/en/
    But if the problem persists, please post again.

  • Why can't I print web pages in Firefox 5.0 or 6.0?

    I have tried to upgrade to 5.0 and, most recently, to 6.0. But I end up having to downgrade to 3.6 because I am not able to print from either 5.0 or 6.0. When I click on 'print preview' or 'print,' nothing at all happens. No print preview screen nor print dialogue box. I really wish this problem could be fixed. I won't be able to keep using firefox if I can't print web pages. If there is a fix for this, please let me know. Thanks.

    Try the '''''reset''''' described here: <br />

  • New Mac OSX Mavericks won't print web pages

    Just got a new Mac Mini with Mavericks installed and no matter what browser I try I will print a few pages off web sites then it will stop and give me a screen that says an "Print error" and will not print at all.
    Any Ideas? I have reset the printer settings several times it works a few times then it stop and will not print.
    I can save the page as a pdf and it will print those but this is not a acceptable solution fo the user's station.
    It will print other thing fine with the exception of web pages.
    I tried with sevral office printers all varios model and all the same problem when printing web pages.

    Try resetting the printing system.

  • I downloaded the latest Adobe Reader when prompted. Since then I cannot use Safari File Print to print web pages - the printer dialogue window opens but the page is blank. Also, when I try to use the safari Help button,the dialogue box is blank.

    I downloaded the latest Adobe Reader update when prompted. Since then I cannot use Safari>File>Print to print web pages - the printer dialogue window opens, but the page remains blank. Also when I try to use the Safari Help button, the dialogue box opens but remains infuriatingly blank. Can anyone help me to solve this problem?

    Back up all data.
    Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • I am using Firefox 11 and I am unable to print web pages. I can print PDFs ok. I tried to open the prefs.js file to delete anything that starts with print and I get an error message.

    I cannot print web pages. I've tried the solutions suggested like deleting anything that starts with print in the prefs.js file but I get an error message: Script: c:\users\rick\appdata\roading\mozilla\firefox\profiles\iviwh5c1.default\prefs.js
    line: 1
    Char: 1
    Error: invalid character
    code: 800A03F6
    Source: Microsoft JScript compilation error

    When editing '''prefs.js''' you need to use a simple text editor program. WinXP Notepad messes up the line formatting of prefs.js, so I use Wordpad - but you need to save the edited file in a Text-Only format (Wordpad asks about that when you go to save the edited file). I never used Win7, so I don't know if that version of Notepad messes with the line formatting of prefs.js or not.
    Another thing - make sure '''''"Hide extensions for known file types"''''' is de-delected in Windows file / folder options > view -> advanced settings. Otherwise Windows may add a .txt file extension that you won't be able to see, and that will break that file in Firefox. '''prefs.js.txt''' won't be recognized by Firefox, when is expecting to find '''''prefs.js''''' .
