Random oversized pages.

Browsing around Apple discussions I sometimes find that some discussions pages become oversized. While I can scroll horizontally to read what is not shown, it does become a nuisance. As it does not happen every time, I can't find a logical reason for the change in size from one page to the next.
Would anyone know what causes this.

HI,
No idea what might cause that but go to your Safari menu bar click Safari / Empty Cache.
Relaunch Safari.
If the problem persists, open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Now open the Library folder, the Caches folder, the com.apple.Safari folder.
Move the cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari.
And sometimes just restarting your Mac can help.

Trouble printing converted document - no "Shink Oversized Pages" option in Word

Hi gurus
I have a document which was originally created in Word, apparently to print as A2. I now have it in PDF format only. It prints fine in A4 size due to the selection Shink Oversized Pages defaulting on in Adobe Reader.
Of course, I need to edit the document, so I converted it to Word. I now have problems printing, as there is apparently no such equivalent option and I have to either resize everything (not feasible - it would be quicker to create the document from scratch) or save back to PDF then print from PDF rather than Word.
There must be an easier way? Can't the PDF conversion/export software be set to A4?
Thanks
Lynton

If the conversion software exported as A4, Word would reflow the layout in the same way it would when you do Page Setup in Word - the layout would be utterly destroyed. What ExportPDF won't do is shrink as it exports to A4. (Perhaps a useful option, but certainly not what everyone would want or need).
You could always reconvert your Word back to PDF for printing.

Using C4795 printer for 4X6 photo printing. Prints not registered, can start randomly on page, skip

C4795, printing 4X6 photos with new iMAC and iPhoto software. Downloaded latest drivers. Printing starts randomly on page,
sometimes skipping half a page, sometimes just a sliver. Prints are OK with my other 8150 printer, but not 4795. Any ideas?
Thanks, John

Hi John.
Perhaps it's a printer configuration problem (maybe the paper size is set to a different value than what's in the printer), but you may want to try printing with HP Photo Creations as a test. The program is a free download from www.hp.com/go/hppc, and can load photos from your iPhoto library.
Here's a quick tutorial on printing 4x6 photos with HP Photo Creations:

Reader 11- Shrink oversized pages

Adobe reader 11 "Shrink oversized pages" does not work
Some Adobe documents created at 8.5 X 11 are created with too small of a margin for printer causing right side to be cut off. Selecting "Shrink oversized pages" does not work to scale page to fit on 8.5 x 11 paper. Scaling document down enough to fit causes huge margin on right side.
Try it with IRS Form 1023 to see what I mean.
Margin settings are greyed out in printer settings. They are currently set at "1"
I only have this problem with Adobe documents.
Using Win XP Pro. Printer is Xerox 6200 DN

I am on a Mac 10.8.5 using a Xerox Phaser 3320 laser printer as well as an HP Photosmart C5580 inkjet printer. When printing an oversized document (let's say 12 x 17" or any size larger than letter size) from Acrobat Pro X, if I use either the "fit" or the "shrink oversize pages" buttons, the document still prints out full size, meaning only a small portion of it ends up on the 8.5 x 11" paper both of these printers use. The preview of what should print works just fine and appears that the whole document will print out in a reduced size to fit on the paper. In actuality though, just a portion of the of the document prints out because it is printing at full size rather than reducing to fit the paper.

I photo takes pictures of random web pages, about 55,000.

i photo takes pictures of random web pages, about 55,000. how can i stop this?

Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. With information, s/he may be able to get your issue resolved sooner.

Undesirable and random GET_CONFIG pages printing from HP Color LaserJet CM2320fxi

An HP Color LaserJet CM2320fxi MFP is printing at what seems as random times two pages. The first page is a GET_CONFIG page and the second page is a two line page of random giberish characters much like the Windings font.
Error logs on the printer don't reveal anything is wrong. It apears that the printer is not aware of these printing events or is not recording them in the logs.
Something similar to this has been encountered and was a result of bad memory or a corrupted firmware load.
This sort of behavior was found posted online in a very brief message on HP's site. Different model of course. http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/Printers-LaserJet/get-config-pages-on-models-CP2025/td-p/1095046 The problem apeared not to be resolved.
I dislike the event log of these printers. It doesn't define datetime stamp of the events.
Copied event log:
Number Code Page
8 54.2500 2606
7 54.2500 2598
6 13.0000 2324
5 13.0000 2264
4 13.0000 1503
3 13.0000 888
2 13.0000 812
1 54.2100 0
The number of events with these symptoms seem pretty sparse. At least those that are reported. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-printing-questions/CM2320fxi-Locks-up-when-printing-from-Ubuntu-9...
Also, the error 54.xxxx doesn't appear to be documented which makes identifying the problem rather difficult.
The "Get_Config" occurrences were taking place shortly after the scheduled calibration process occurred. This was discovered by chance when i just happened to walk by and heard the printer spin up and watched it give birth to the get_config pages. Almost like it was trying to communicate with me.. Perhapse I need to "get_config". LOL
As a last resort I reset the NVRAM. The reset of the NVRAM didn't resolve the problem. There is not enough information available from HP to find a resolution to this problem. This is an attempt to open up a support request with HP or knowledeable HP guru types via this forum.
Suggestions other than that of watching and reenacting Office Space are welcome.

Phillip -- that did seem to work. Thanks!
One thing of note, after sleuthing it out a bit more, I realized that this happened after I was prompted by Apple's Software update to update the driver to version 1.1.1 (I think that was the number). that update seems to have broken Acrobat, so returning to the one on the Adobe site restores the functionality.
Perhaps this will be an alert to others not to install the Apple driver when prompted, though it's easy to let that slip by.

Firefox 3.6.12 sometimes launches to random history page rather than homepage

Ever since I updated Firefox to 3.6.12, it will sometimes go to a random previously visited page on launch instead of my homepage. This is perplexing since I have the Options set to Never Remember History. I am also using Advanced SystemCare which sweeps and clears history, recent files, etc.

i ran into a simuler problem using firefox 4 with win 7. browser would not display web address and when you open the browser it would display a blank page. also back, forward, and refresh button's where grayed out and could not click hem.
after checking plugins i was able to get it working with disableing java deployment toolkit.

Random web pages frequently don't load in OS X lion

Hi can anyone help on this problem:
Bought a new macbook a month ago and frequently web pages won't load. The same problem persist whether I use Safari, Chrome or Firefox. Reloading the page doesn't fix the problem, nor does clearing cache etc. Sometimes, but not always exiting the browser solves the issue, or if I try later the same page will work. Frustratingly the issue occurs seemingly randomly and on random sites, i.e a webpage that was working earlier will no longer work or within a given website suddenly a next page will fail to load.
The error that comes up is the browser can't find the site or resolve the dns server (?). I've tried several fixes from related posts on this forum but none seem to work. This is super frustrating and not in line with all my previous mac experiences which were always flawless..
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks!

You might need to install either http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/windows-media-player/wmcompo nents or http://support.apple.com/kb/dl923 or both.
Note: Both are Lion compatible. The QuickTime 7.6.6 install adds a QuickTime 7 Player in your utilities folder which can cope with older formats like MMS and WMV.

It's something to do with pressing an indexing button in error. Now my Dad's Mac book keeps opening random email pages and can't stop.

My Dad is 92 and doesn't see very well. He was writing on his Mac book and a button came up on his desktop that asked him to open files - and he said yes, not really understanding. When I went to check, I thought at first that the Mac was attempting to index dad's computer, but in reality, all that was happening was emails were all being opened randomly and stacking on the desktop. You could not stop it except to force quit. I restarted the computer and the whole process occurred again. What's going on?

Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
Quit Safari
Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
Relaunch Safari
If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
The facts are:
1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
2. There is no anti-malware that can detect everything targeting the Mac.
3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
     the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
     techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
    your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
    protection against malware.
5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
    from which they purport to protect you.
6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
    you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

Random blank pages with JSPs

I've written several web applications, and I've never encountered this before. I have a servlet and several JSPs. As I continue to run the application as I am developing it, I am having problems where a page will be blank. What I see is a URL with the servlet context plus a parameter for the page name that should be going to the servlet. If I click the back button in the browser, and do the exact same thing again, that post request is sent to the servlet, processed correctly, and a new JSP is dispateched to present a web page. That is, when I can't predict it, a page does not render because it seems as though the post request does not actually reach the servlet but this does not happen most of the time. I can't figure out how to debug it, since it happens at random moments on random pages. I'm running on tomcat 5.1. Any suggestions for how to debug this? My log for the application (created by log4J) shows nothing, nor does catalina.out or current localhost log file. Thanks.
Ken

No I didn't decide to revert back, I just wanted to see if by going back I would get blank pages again. And I did. My wife's iPad is now on Google and is working fine, so that does seem to be the solution, despite BT's Chat advisor claiming that it could not possibly be their DNS server.
Yeah, I will change the router's DNS if it's still OK in a few hours. I gave up with the BT HH a few days after installation when I got fed up of constant (hourly) WiFi dropouts. BT kindly sent me a replacement and that was even worse ; the HH really is junk, and I hate not having control over router settings anyway. I've always been happy with Linksys so went for an EA4500, which has been great. Oh, and I also have an old WRT54GS running DD-WRT as a wireless bridge to reach the parts of the house and garden that are out of range of the 4500.
Finally, thanks for your help.

How can I get Print to PDF to accept oversized page sizes?

To level set, my platform is Mac OSX 10.6, Snow Leopard.
I sometimes create banners and such that are designed to be plotted/printed on large format printers. For example, a banner might print to a page that is 12" x 72".
Now, I don't actually own such a printer, the FedEx Kinko's down the street does, hence I don't have a driver installed for it.
I really don't know the "best" tool for creating these drawings. I have tried MS PowerPoint (which can't seem to accept paper wider than 56 inches) and have used NeoOffice Draw, which seems to work ok until it comes to printing time.
When I try to print to PDF, which is what the folks at Kinko's want, the printer systems always asks if I want to rescale the print to fit my 8-1/2 X 11 home printer(s). No, just print it "as-is" is NOT a choice and neither is "Any Printer". I end up having to crawl through setting up odd sized paper under "Any Printer" and somehow, I still don't really understand how, the print to PDF now saves the file sized to print as drawn.
So, I can see a few possible approaches to making this easier.
Install the print driver for the printer at Kinko's. Only, I don't think the installation process will allow that unless the printer is connected.
Develop a dongle that fools the Mac into thinking the printer is attached. Cute idea that could make money if I sold them, but hardly reasonable.
Develop a dummy (virtual?) print driver that can be added without a physical printer having to be present and which opens a window when you "print" to it that allows you to specify the page size and other information with which it will "lie" to the OS and say, "Yes, I am a printer capable of doing this....". (FYI, I am a programmer going on 30 years now.)
So, before I teach myself Objective-C and how to use Xcode, is there a better or known solution? Is there an existing product I can use? Is there a driver development kit for virtual printers? Any chance I could get a C++ kit and not have to learn Objective-C?
Thanks!

Incorrect. Win or Mac, you can install a printer driver w/o the printer being connected.

You're using the wrong tools. PP shouldn't even be in consideration; I don't know about NeoOffice, but I tried its cousin LibreOffice, and it has issues with custom paper sizes; which is not surprising, given what these apps were designed for.
What you need for actual banners (not web page banners) is a vector drawing tool or a DTP app. I'd say Illustrator or InDesign, but Adobe CS is expensive, and, if you're thinking of PowerPoint for this job, you're not ready for it.
You can try Pages; although not quite DTP, it can do the job and it's inexpensive. There are other options, such as Swift Publisher (a DTP app) or Intaglio (a drawing app) -- both are more expensive than Pages, but still affordable; or you can go open source with Scribus (DTP) or InkScape (vector; requires X11). You already know the ups and downs of using open source. (These are just examples; you can find others if you look for them.)
Although it's better to have Kinko's printer driver, to make sure of the correct options, you don't actually need it to print to PDF. You should be able to define a custom page size (eg, 12in × 72in) and create the PDF from it. Any app which uses the Mac OS X standard print function should be able to do it.

Oversized page not formatted when sent from Crystal Enterprise

I have been racking my brain to figure this out and I hope that somene is able to help me. I have a report that is very wide and I have it set to print to Adobe PDF print driver with specified settings to include Landscape and page size = ISO B1. When I run this report and export directly from Crystal Reports, I get the desired results. However, once it is scheduled and emailed to the distribution recipients, it is formatted for Letter page size and portrait orientation.
I have made sure that the Page Setup is configured properly. I have used the "Manage Object" tool within the Repository Explorer and have tried to configure the Print Setup in the "Process" tab but I do not get the results that I am looking for. Is there anyone who has had this problem who may be able to help me out? I am having to run this report manually because I cannot get it to send properly.
Thank you. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated!!! :P

Hi Marlene,
If you have a valid contract you can create a new message on line and get a Support Engineer to help you with this issue.
Try installing the same printer you used onto the BOE server and set the default size to B1. You can then select the printer I believe....

Random blank page generated at beginning of Epub

Okay, so I'm using Indesign CS6 to author an epub document. Everything is golden except for one last issue...
When I export the final file and look at the book on my iPad via iBooks, the first page is not the actual first page of my book. Instead it's just an extra blank page with a small '?' box at the top--similar to the symbol given whenever there is a broken image embedded.
FYI, there are no images in the entirety of this book, aside from the actual cover file...
Any ideas?

I opened it up in Sigil and selected the first xhtml after the cover image...

 Dear Reader:
 Sozo The Nations is a life-giving healing manual for church leaders, marketplace leaders and the church body. I have used the concepts in this book not only at Sozo House in Kansas City but to train leaders in the nations, in the church and even in evangelistic jail ministry. The principles work with new believers and seasoned Christians, across cultures and languages; God’s healing is for everyone.
 This is the first print of Sozo The Nations. I would like to enlist your help in bettering the book. I may or may not be able to include your submissions, but suggestions and testimonies would be greatly appreciated. You may email your comments or suggestions to <a href="mailto:sozokansascity%40gmail.com?subject=">[email protected]</a>.
 I want this to be a user-friendly manual that you use over and over again in ministry, not a book that you read once and put on a shelf. For this reason, I have included a detailed Table of Contents.
 God was with me in writing this book. Many times He had to remind me that if I don’t give up and don’t quit, I win. My heart’s desire is to make His excellence known to the nations.
 So, with much love, here’s my small offering,

Hp laserjet 200. Random blank pages. Jibberish. USB not recognized.

I am posting this for a friend.
The printer is one year old. They ended up buying a new computer and the same problems happen on Windows Vista AND Windows 8.1.
Please advise!
We were away for a week. It printed strange gibberish each day we were gone. Sometimes I can turn it off and on and make it print a desired document, but other times I just have to give up. I tried to take the ipad off again to see if that would help, but I probably didn’t do that correctly. Today it is just printing blank pages. There is an error message on the computer screen asking for a certain kind of paper. That makes no sense. It printed with this paper before. Usually there is an error message on the computer screen that it does not recognize the last USB inserted. That makes no sense either. I haven’t inserted anything into a USB port. Now I just had to turn the printer off to keep it from printing blank pages.

Hi @timothypcook ,
I see that you are getting blank and gibberish print when trying to print by a USB connection. I will certainly do my best to help you.
Try and print a hardware self test on the printer to find out if it is a hardware or software issue.
