Problem with printing selection of web page

Print selection function from webpage don't print correctly. If text is marked then first line of text is printed not correct (printed only lower part of line). If text is longer than one page there is similar problem at the end of first page and begining of second. The problem occurs on HP LaserJet 4015 printer, and PDF creator too. Firefox 18.0.2 and firefox 19.0 , Windows 7 64bit

Hi mrbcl1, unfortunately the answer is that Firefox has some bugs when it comes to printing selections!
Typically, where the top of the selection is cut off, it means that Firefox is applying some style rules meant to position that part of the page on screen -- even though they are irrelevant when printing a selection. There's no built-in way to get Firefox to ignore those rules. You can try a different selection (keep more stuff above) or other interventions, but it can be a waste of time in many cases.
Here are two workarounds. In both cases, the idea is to isolate the selected part of the page (hide everything else) so you can print it ''normally'', bypassing the limitations of the Print Selection feature.
(1) Use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nuke-anything-enhanced/ Nuke Anything Enhanced extension]
See: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/927457#answer-333518 When using print selection in Firefox 12.0, it prints wherever the selection is on the page (on paper) instead of at the top of the page (of paper).]
(2) Use a bookmarklet (snippet of JavaScript saved as a button on your bookmarks toolbar) to isolate the selection for printing.
This is the technique I generally use due to force of habit. The details are in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/943039#answer-384875 this post].

Problem with printing more than one page (ghostscript broken?)

Hello,
since one of the last package updates I have problems with printing more than one page. The print problems occurs as well with pdf files as well with printing websites. I use an actual KDE system with commercial turboprint printer driver. The first page always prints fine, but all consecutive pages are corrupted. As from a similar problem some months ago, I assume a broken ghostscript package. I tried to downgrade ghostscript to check that, but I get depency problems:

Anyone else having printing problems or a solution for my problem?
Thanks, Dieter

This may not be related but I had a problem printing a pdf today whereby the second page got corrupted. The same pdf had printed fine several months ago. I realised that (long story) for some reason I had switched drivers (HP printer) from hpijs to hpcups. I installed the printer again as a "new" printer using the hpijs driver and it printed properly this time.
So it may be that the bug causes issues with some drivers. You could try an alternative driver for the printer as temporary workaround?

Problem with paper selection when web printing on HP Photosmart 209a

Everytime I try to print a small section of a web page it always wants to print on photo (4x6) paper. I have tried to chage the defualt setting to use the main tray but it keeps going back to the photo paper setting. I'm using FireFox v3.5.6

Pleaseeeeeee Help - Problems with position of my web page

Hi, first sorry on my english
I have problem with position of my page. I had made my web page in Indesign CS5 and exported to swf file. My web page is working fine (www.igor-flytying.com) but the page is not in the middle of the web browser. How can I fix the problem????? I am a beginer in Indesign. I had try to make some changes in html file (salign) but still nothing.
Please HELLLLLPPPPPP
Regards
Aljosa

Petteri, SWFObject is much better because it loads the JavaScript so you don't see it inside the HTML page, but it still wraps the swf in a div which by default will be positioned in the upperleft of the browser window.
This is the only way I've been able to center using SWFObject—note that it's the "flashcontent" div style that does the centering not the align embed parameter:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<head>
<title>S W F | Centered</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html" />

<style type="text/css">
          #flashcontent {width: 1000px; height: 750px; margin-left: -500px; margin-top: -375px; position: absolute; left: 50%; top: 50%;}
</style>
          <script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
          <script type="text/javascript">
                    var flashvars = {};
                    flashvars.myFlashVar = "Testing";
                    var params = {}; //Embed parameters: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/127/tn_12701.html
                    params.quality = "best";
                    params.align="t"
                    //SWFObject parameters: http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/api
                    swfobject.embedSWF("swftest.swf", "flashcontent", "1000", "750", "10.0", false, flashvars, params);
          </script>

Problem with printing the correct "ical" pages.

G'day
I have only recently started using "iCal", on the cloud, having upgraded my laptops to "Lion" and my iPhone to "5", so that I have NOT experienced any of the "syncing" problems of which I have read elsewhere.
BUT, I do have an irritating problem, the solution to which, being a long-term Mac user, should be obvious.
The problem stems fronm the fact that I am located on the east coast of Australia, and my laptops know this.
The first, really daft, thing that I did was to create a whole lot of iCal entries, in iCloud, without noticing that the default timezone was "Pacific".
So, OK, I fixed that by going into my ID on iCloud and changing the timezone, and then editing every single event that I had entered at that point in time.
So, I then thought that I had beaten the beast, because I had only been printing "Weekly" calendars, which were OK.
Today, I decided to print some "daily" calendars, and the system WILL NOT PRINT THE CORRECT DATE.
My iCal entries are mainly to do with a trip that that starts on 1st August this year. I bring up iCal on the Mac, go to the print page, select 01 Aug 2012, and it prints 31 July 2012.
This happens whether I tick the "Timezone" preference in iCal on the Mac, or not.
What else should I do?
Dave the Desperate

Hi Srikanth,
In the second page you can insert a command to set it to goto page 3,and an additional event in the command (only after the end of main window).
As soon as the main window ends in the second page...u will get the third and rest of the pages.
Keep the goto next page in PAge 1 as Page2
and in Page 2 as Page 2.

Has anyone encourage this issue? What can I do? remember is a smartform.
please help us!!
thanx

Guys.
Remember that the columns header won't be printed only if the lines per account continues. I mean, the column header printing depends on the number of lines that are being printed.
If at the end of a previous page the list (for example the positions that belong to this account) still continues for an account, then in the next page the column header musn't be printed, just only continue printing the rest of the positions. As you notice this case would be found in any number of pages during the rest of the report.
I'm agree with all your solutions but this only functionin some cases for the first page.
I look forward to hearing from you.
If I'm clear now, please help me!
Thanks guys!

Problem with Print Email from Web IC

Hello Experts,
I am currently working on CRM 6.0. When i try to print an EMail from Web IC using Print Message Button at the bottom of Email body, I can only find this email in spool rather than printing on printer.
Also I have assigned the printer to my user. Even though `m not able to get the print of the email using Print Message Button. Please Advice.
Thank you.

I have a same problem. I've turned on print immediately, but it still prints E-mails to spool and not to printer. Printing from GUI works ok. Do you have any other advice?
Best regards,

Firefox is my default browser, however i am not thinking of switching because it is having problems with button links on web pages, when i click a button it brings me to a white page on mozilla

an example of a page gone wrong...

this is a link to a job site however it is impossible to get to it because when you hit apply in foxfire it brings up a blank screen (i can't give you the address because it just brings up a box without an address screen)
it should bring up this link http://ops.theladders.com/viewExternalJob?jobId=2546606

Have you submitted the hint button issue to the site for comment?
It is hard to debug script problems without access to the page... If you want to research it yourself, start by opening the Error Console (Tools menu) and clicking the Clear button. Then reload the page and check the Console for any errors (red icon). These can indicate when scripts are not loading correctly. Then try to click the hint button and see whether that triggers any additional errors.
The error messages generally are most useful to the page's programmer, but sometimes can reveal enough information to create a user solution (e.g., running a script through the GreaseMonkey extension that repairs the problem).

Firefox 3.6.3 will not print a full web page. IE will print with no problem.

Firefox won't print a full web page. When I check the print preview, it only shows what will print and the whole page is not displayed. I tried resetting my printer in about:config and that never helped.
I am stumped and need help to resolve this please.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After I download Ver. 3.6.3

No...I tried the reset option as I mentioned above. It didn't work.
But I think I just figured it out.
The page margin was set up to something like 7000 in to the right.
really, I have no idea how it got like that.
So I was printing a blank page. Go figure...................

How do i fix my printer when it won't show the print preview for web pages? it worked and now not.

how do i fix my printer when it won't show the print preview for web pages? it worked for a while and now it doesn't. printer is an hp officejet 7310 all-in-one.

I would suspect this is a hardware issue. The rollers are probably having issues picking up the relatively smooth thick media. You might have better results be cleaning the paper pickup rollers with a damp paper towel. Also make sure the paper is snugly loaded and the paper guides have been correctly positioned.

Problem with printing over wireless network

Hello. I have a HP psc 2410 all-in-one printer.
I've recently bought a modem router which has a capability called"printer-server" and I decided to use this feature and print over wifi. I set it up but with a problem. when I print something, for instance, test page, instead of printing just one page, It will print "test page" in 3 pages( something like partial pages and which the last=third page is printed blankly) and then It freezes(printer screen shows "printing" and I have to cancel the job, otherwise it freezes and I have to replug it). I have this trouble not just in test page but at least from IE, office, PDF files. This problem is essentially about Wifi, since If I connect the printer directly to the PC or laptop via usb, it works absolutely fine. also I have tried printing with different laptops over wifi but no go. below are more information which I have to mention:
1)Router is on WPA-PSK encryption type.
2)There is no mac-filtering or hiding SSID going on.
3)one laptop and an iPad is connected to router via wifi and a PC which is connected by LAN cable.
4)The printer IP address is the same as Router's settings page IP address.(192.168.0.1)
5)I can't open the printer's internal web page by entering the printer's IP address in browser since it's the same as router IP address.
6)Firewall on my laptop( windows 7 32-bit) is off and I'm using no Anti-virus.
7) I have tried HP PRINT AND SCAN DOCTOR, but it says the printer is OK.
thanks
Leland
EDIT: after investigating for hours, I finally managed to get rid of freezing problem. now there is just one problem of that partial printing which happens coincidentally over wifi! I mean, sometimes it happens and sometimes not!
any suggestions? I'd really appreciate it
This question was solved.
View Solution.

The bottomline is that this printer has no way of connecting other than a straight USB connection. In order to make it wireless you have to have a device that will give it an network IP address. The printer by itself can not do this.
The only way to get this printer on a network is to buy a SEPERATE USB Printer Server. Or, buy a separate router, like I said, that has a USB connection on the back that will support printers.
You can not connect it the way you want as it stands right now.
However, call your ISP and have them set it up IF their Gateway device has a USB connection and really can support a printer. It is their issue.

I worked for HP but now I'm retired!

Suddenly, system produces a "microsoft image writer," freezes, then crashes when I try to print from a web page. This is new, just past week or so.

For the past week or two, when I desire to print from a web page or email and hit the "print" command, instead of my printer name the printer window displays 'microsoft document image writer." Then it asks me to save (in which case it appears in my documents) or print to file. Then, if it works, it produces a window with an image of the page. And once or twice, I can then print. But usually, it produces a blank screen, an endless hourglass, a "not responding" message, and then the blue screen of death.
