Problems With Printing Two Up

Hi-
I have a document that consists of pages that are 5.5x8.5, in other words half of a standard 8.5x11 sheet of paper. I want to be able to print these two up on 8.5x11 sheet of paper. So in the layout section of the print dialog I set pages per sheet to two. The problem is that when it prints each page is smaller than it should be, it seems like it's padding the pages with white space and making them smaller. Is there a way to get around this?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Jonathan

You are not the only one with this problem. I have been fighting this issue all day.
I have read the User Manual up and down, I have scoured the support pages, and I have spent untold fruitless hours with technical support... am currently still unable to solve this problem.
When using a Pages template, I am unable to change page size while holding the formatting together. No way to select all and group it - no way to start a blank document with the proper page size and then insert a (template) page, no way to change paper once the template is open....
I have a template from Pages (doesn't matter... pick any one at all that has formatting and objects, not straight text) which opens with a default page setup of paper size A4. Fine. In printer settings, "Choose Layout from the pop-up menu and choose the number of pages you want to appear on each sheet" (page 173, Chapter 10) which makes perfect sense to me.
I am trying to achieve two pages per sheet for a "tabloid" type publication. I wish to print on A3 - which should work perfectly - the page size in the end result (2 per sheet) is in fact A4, because A3 is two A4s laid side by side. So, this is as the formatting intended it should be, because smaller is too small and larger wouldn't work.
When I print I get:
a) the proper layout, but with the size being HALF an A4 instead of a full A4 (half an A3)
b) the right size (when changed in page setup) with formatting all over the map and all the work destroyed.
It is easy enough to say "Before you print, you should make sure the paper size and orientation are set the way you want by opening the Page Setup dialog" (page 169 Chapter 10) but these Pages templates are not able to be printed on ANY size of paper except A4 - the way they have been laid out originally. It doesn't matter which size you're trying to print - an invitation on smaller paper perhaps, a tabloid type newsletter on larger, anything at all on banner paper...
There has to be a fix for this somewhere.
Can anybody help?

Problem with printing to a HP Photosmart Premium C410

Printer purchased and installed on July 9, 2011. Connected wirelessly to a D-Link Xtreme N GIGABIT Router Model DIR-655. Router IP address 192.168.0.1
The printer worked fine until last week. Then one of our Laptops could suddenly not print or scan anymore.
There are Two Dell Laptops connected to the same router.
The first Laptop, Dell XPS M1530 running Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2, 4GB Ram 32 bit OS. This machine can print to HP C410 printer directly with no problems. It can see the printer’s embedded web server at 192.168.0.254 and can scan from there into a file on the laptop or can print the just scanned image from the embedded web server. It can also print to it using HP eprint.
The second Laptop, Dell Inspiron M1545 running Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 2, 3GB Ram 64 bit OS. This machine CANNOT print directly to the HP printer. It can see the printer’s embedded web server at 192.168.0.24 and can scan from there into a file on the laptop (I used a PDF format and brought it up in Adobe Reader to be sure) but it CANNOT print the just scanned image from the embedded web server. The print process fails and shows the document still in the spool queue with an error status. It can print to the HP C410 using HP eprint.
I have used the HP suggested process of uninstalling all the printer software and re-installing it from the original CD (tried this three times) and by downloading it from www.hp.com. I have also installed the HP fix titled: Following a Network Installation, the Product Loses Functionality and Is Missing from the Devices and Printers Menu after the Computer Is Restarted in Windows 7 (64-bit Only)
I installed the fix after a complete un-install / re-install cycle. I have run the HP Print Diagnostic Utility at this point in the process and it returns a clean (All Green Check Marks) report but its final test print fails in the same manner.
Thanks in advance for help in solving this problem.

So, this post, as well written as it is, went totally ignored by the HP personnel that are supposedto be "helping" us poor novices? WOW! No wonder this crap gets thrown out of the house so often.
I have two HP network printers. An HP Officejet 4500 G510g-m, and a HP Photosmart Premium C410a, and they are the most unreliable pieces of "equipment" that I have in my network. This is absolutely trhe crappiest bunch of junk on the market. The only thing worse than these "devices" is the support from HP for them.
I also have a HP Photosmart C5280 AIO, and a Deskjet D2345 Printer. I have little, to no, problems with these two. The "flagships" of my network imaging are the worst, of the worst.

I had a problem with print preview of billing document.

HI all,
I had a problem with print preview of billing document which contains two output types ZR1 ZR2..
For the footer text of billing document I maintained the font size as 7,5 pts, But when i go for print preview from output type ZR1 the font size of footer text is very small and looks good for output type ZR2.
If i change the print options-->logical destination of output type ZR1 same as Output type ZR2, the footer text looks good.
I think there is some issue with logical destination in print options for the output type ZR1, how can i resolve it.

hi,
for both the output types , r u using same sapscript or smartform?
if yes then, u can control it in output options of smartform and also in sapscript , you can control through if condition.
and if differect sapscript or smartform then you should not get such problem.
you can check the sapscript or smartfrom in TNAPR table.

Problem with printing-- logo comes upside down

Hi ,
We have some problem with printing.
While testing the print output for billing we are experiencing some problems. Every thing in the layout looks fine in the print preview but when i take a print out in my local printer , i see the client logo comes upside down and some lines are missing .
Can some body suggest me how to correct the same.
Regards,
Sekhar.

Hi Michael,
Thanks....
We have checked the printer earlier also and seems to be fine.
Aditional info:
1) We are getting this problem while printing Billing from "VF01" transaction.
2) In this also we have two invoice numbers given by functional guy out of which in for one we are getting the problem that "lines of the first box are not printing" and for second "logo is coming inverted & lines of the first box are not printing"
Regards,
Sekhar.

Problem with print photo 13x18

hi i have a problem with print photo (13x18) size it cut in the end of photo i use hp photo creations but if choose 100%size or full screen same result please what can i do; i am disapoint to buy this printer if photo print so

Cornelia-I, I used "single/image contact sheet" and there is a Lightroom
Template for 2x2 cells. I modified this a little to make the cells smaller
to provide room for the captions and margins for hole punching and binding
the sheets.
No, I surely did not type in each caption. The captions were Title plus
Caption taken from the metadata plus a comma and # sign preceding the
filename which was a date/sequence number. I was printing four different
images on each page and 36 images total so there were nine pages of the
booklet.
I didn't try the idea of switching the Photo Info option off and back on to
the custom package because I had already created a custom preset and as soon
as I discovered that all it needed was to have a period added or removed at
the end of the line each time, it was easy to simply switch back and forth
between the two text presets which was doing the same thing you recommended.
Whole job was simple once I discovered that the problem was simply that I
needed a new version of the text string every time I printed and couldn't
simply keep using the same one over and over. The time wasted was lost
trying to figure out what was causing the lines to suddenly become truncated
when previously they had been there. Which is why I wrote it up so others
need not waste that time if they want to do this.

HP Officejet Pro 8600 "Problem with Printer or Ink System'

A gander at this forum suggests I am one ofa multitude of people perplexed by this issue. There is a notation beside one enquiry which says 'Problem Solved'.... well it isn't for me. My printer (typical!) is one month out of warranty. I had to replace the black cartridge and, when I did, it came up with this error prompt. I then replaced all the other cartridges. HP suggests removing the printhead and following that they say place it 'upside down on a clean sheet of paper'... NO instructions for cleaning it!! When it is replaced in the printer they suggest you 'rock the printhead left and right to make sure that the printhead fully seats in the carriage' and if THIS doesn't fix things 'try reseating the printhead up to 3 times'... This in itself is an admission of an 'issue' with this product. It doesn't sound like a very scientific engineering 'fix' to me!
A new printhead costs almost what we paid for the printer a year ago. I hate consigning anything to landfill that I can avoid... unfortunately it looks like that is where this unit belongs...

Thanks so much for replying to my post. I tried the fist suggestions and they did not work. So, I attempted to move on Dow to the cleaning of my printer. I am the the first to admit that I'm not the genius when it come to electronics buys, my printer do not seem to have what is described in the photos. I'd like to upload a photo of my ink cartage but do not know how.
Charleshia, you can upload a photo here to reply. Click Reply, then on the window you'll see the image below..
click the one which has the red box, it's where you insert the photo
Going back on your issue.. the basic step would be.. take out the inks then close the door... what error message you got? If it's saying "Missing Ink Cartridge" just hit OK. Unplug the power cable at back of the printer, plug it back in.. Clean the copper contacts on the ink cartridges using a lint free cloth then reinstall them. Let me know if it resolved it or not.. I can only give basic troubleshooting here

Problem with printing a PDF

Hi All,
I'm developing a web application written in J2EE that uses Java Reporting Component (JRC) to display crystal reports from some filters recovered from a jsp and passed to a report .rpt previously designed and invoked just at runtime.
I have a problem with printing a PDF:
I want, after entering the filters in a jsp, to print a report in PDF format (WORD) without opening it
with Adobe Reader (Microsoft Word). The class of API JRC used for export is ReportExportControl.
Can anyone help me?
I wish a great day to You all.

Hi Ted Ueda,
sorry for the delay of my answer.
I understand very well the problems related to security.
With the following code that I used to produce a report (PDF) at runtime,
is the PDF created on the server and then sent to the client, or is it directly created on the client as PDF
from RTF previously realized?
ReportExportControl exportControl = new ReportExportControl();
String report = report path;
ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();
reportClientDoc.open(report, OpenReportOptions._openAsReadOnly);
Object reportSource = null;
reportSource = reportClientDoc.getReportSource();
//The method setConnectionProperties() stores all the connection parameters in the collection
//ConnectioInfos
ConnectionInfos connInfos = setConnectionProperties(request, reportClientDoc);
exportControl.setEnableLogonPrompt(false);
exportControl.setEnableParameterPrompt(false);
exportControl.setReportSource(reportSource);
exportControl.setDatabaseLogonInfos(connInfos);
//Single method to pass parameters to Crystal Reports. Using classes ParameterFieldController and
//ParameterFieldDiscreteValue
setReportParametersValue(reportClientDoc, reportParameters, subReportParameters);
ExportOptions exportOptions = new ExportOptions();
//Set the export format (PDF)
exportOptions.setExportFormatType(ReportExportFormat.PDF);
PDFExportFormatOptions PDFExpOpts = new PDFExportFormatOptions();
exportOptions.setFormatOptions(PDFExpOpts);
exportControl.setExportOptions(exportOptions);
exportControl.setExportAsAttachment(true);
try {
      exportControl.getHtmlContent(request, response, getServletConfig().getServletContext());
} catch (ReportSDKExceptionBase e) {
throw new ApplicationException("error code", ": error message"); }
As, however, I predicted in my previous message about the direct printing on the client,
I read about ActiveX, but I don't know how to use them.
I read this information in the 'Crystal Reports for Eclipse Developer Guide' about "printMode" attribute:
"In ActiveX print mode, an ActiveX control is downloaded to the client machine and the report is send directly to the printer...."
The ActiveX alternative is a java applet that runs on the client and takes the pdf from the server and prints directly onto the clients through the commands that I used in the DOS command line:
1)     AcroRd32.exe /p /h FILENAME
where
/p = print
/h = hide window
to print the report and
2)     tkill AcroRd32
to close Adobe Reader, because it doesn't end automatically after printing and the command /h is used just to minimize the process.
I hope you can give me advice because I need to print directly on the client. Thank you

No, it is not set to overprint. Also, I have to add that the printing results were not consistent. Sometimes it covered and sometimes it did not.

Problems with printer and network connectivity

So I've been using an HP B110a photosmart wireless e-all-in-one printer that I got with my macbook pro and at the start, everything worked perfectly in terms of wireless printing, ePrint, and AirPrint. But recently, when I try to print wirelessly, it says the printer is not connected and I also can't find it on the list of nearby printers on the 'add printer' window. I also had problems with printing via ePrint but those have cleared up (I don't know what was wrong but it's fine now). Printing with AirPrint on my iPod touch has stopped working as well because the printer doesn't show up when I search for nearby printers.
Here's what I've checked/tried so far:
All the wireless services are enabled on my printer and my mac
I've reset the printing system on my mac, printer settings to factory defaults
Restarted mac/printer/iPod
Restarted router
Reinstalled HP printing software that came with the printer
All software is up to date
Wireless printing on another windows computer does work
Setting up wireless printing using the HP install disc doesn't work
Trying to add a new printer using the HP software disc that came with the printer is unsuccessful in locating the printer as well.
Printing over USB is problem-free
When I tried restarting the printer/router, I could see the printer for just a few minutes in the 'add printer' list but then it would disappear from the list and the printer would be 'not connected' so I can't print wirelessly.
More info

Problem with printing from Acrobat Reader XI

SInce I installed Acrobat Reader XI I have got problems with printing out pages. The text starts a bit down (2 cm) on the paper, resulting that the last part of the text on the page will be missing. And the missing part does not follow on page 2, it just don´t comes out!
It doesn´t matter what settings i click in on the print setting page in Acrobat Reader, it always gets the same result.
Does anyone know what can be the problem?

No files appeared in C:\Users\Pavilion\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings but they did appear in Distiller.
I tried to copied them from C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Settings, but found they were already there. I copied them by adding -COPY before .joboptions in the name. Now they appeared in Printing Preferences with the -COPY added.
I tested a print from Word (using File / Print), but was not prompted for the filename or location. I checked my entire system and couldn't find the PDF file anywhere. I tried changing the Port to Desktop\*.pdf using Printer Properties, but that didn't work either.
I was able to successfully use the Acrobat menu item in Word & Excel to create a PDF but it automatically created the file on the Desktop without an option to change the filename.
After several days and hours, I gave up and installed Acrobat X on the W7 computer. I can still use Acrobat XI on the W8 computer. So be it!
Thanks anyway for your attempts to help.

Problem with printing true colors

Had PSE7 and colors printed true and beautiful. Upgraded to PSE10 and all of a sudden colors printed muddy and dull with purplish overcast. Took printer in for service but problem persisted. Upgraded to PSE11 and once again colors were printing true and beautiful for over a year. Printed a card about 5 days ago using PSE11 - beautiful. Printed a card yesterday using PSE11 and colors muddy and dull with purplish overtones. Installed PSE13 and colors printing dull, muddy with purplish overcast.. I feel it is a problem somewhere in settings of PSE, but can't figure out where. I don't think it is a problem with printer. Both printer and PSE set to Adobe RGB. Color control set to optimize for printer. Using PC with Windows 7, 64 bit. Printer is Epson stylus photo 1400. Thanks for any help, Merrie
