Shrunken Document When Printing

Hello I've been trying to print my Pages documents, but it isn't working out quite so well. In Print Preview, the text fills out an 8.5 x 11 letter size page, but when the document is printed, the text does not fill up the entire page.
I've browsed through the discussion boards, and applied the remedies posted. I am not showing comments, which was the main problem for everyone else.
For reference, I am trying to print a standard text document, facing pages, inside margin 2.54 cm, outside margin 0.54 cm.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

You need to make sure your paper size is correct:
• Open the Inspector.
• Click on the blank white page icon to the far left.
• Make sure all the margins and page size are correct.
• If they are. then close the Inspector and press ⌘ +p.
In the lower print pulldown menu (which defaults to 'copies and pages' ) choose 'layout'. See if everything there is set up correctly.
I have had some weird print problems when using Pages to open Appleworks docs. The problems righted themselves when I re-chose my settings in the Inspector.
Most printers also allow some sort of percentage printing. Make sure you are printing at 100%.

Border getting added to PDF document when printing using ePrint

We have HP LASERJET PRO 200 COLOR MFP M275nw printer. We are using the Version 2.3.1 of the HP ePrint Android application to print a PDF document from an Android tablet. When document gets printed, it has borders all around and the document. Because of this the document appears "shrunk". If we use Adobe Reader application on PC and print the document at "Actual Size" then no borders get added to the document and the document appears to be printed at exact scale. Is this a limitation of the printer or a bug in the ePrint application. Is there a HP printer (other than what we are using) where using ePrint application we can print "borderless" PDF documents from Android tablet?

Hi,
You have to wait for Android (Google) or HP to produce an app which can print borderless.

How do i reduce the size of a document when printing on my HP8600 all in one printer

I want to reduce the size of a document when I copy it on my HP 8600 all in one printer. Can it be done?

Hi,
Yes, from the printer control panel:
Various settings available from the printer's control panel, including the following:
• Number of copies
• Copy paper size
• Copy paper type
• Copy speed or quality
• Lighter/Darker settings
• Resizing originals to fit on different paper sizes
Touch Copy, Settings, Resize, Custom ... then Done.
Back to Copy menu then touch Black or Color to copy.
Regards.

Centrally positioning a document when printing a booklet (CS4).

Good morning everyone,
I'm printing a document using the print booklet feature, 2-sided saddle stitch. The document is then stapled along the center margin.
The document is being printed onto A3 paper using a Xerox Phaser 7760.
The document in terms of dimensions is smaller than A3 and does not have to be scaled down - thus printed at 100%.
When the document is printed the document is not positioned centrally when measuring from crop marks to the edge of the paper on the left measuring 20mm and on the right 18mm.
Please see image below.
Because the document is printed two sided when I fold the document the alignments are all wrong, I essentially need the document to be positioned exactly centered with a measurement of 19mm on both the left and the right.
My print settings are set as follows, using the print booklet feature, i have matched the settings to the printer settings and the problem still persists.
Please note i have tried printing it with/without the creep setting to 0.5 and it has made no difference. The problem also persists if i match my printers print settings to those of the indesign built in print settings as i was convinced there may be a conflict of interests between the two.
I hope you can help and look forward to hearing from you,
All the best,
Joe.

I have printed the document numerous times one and two sided and measured them all individually to see if there was any variation as you suggested but the problem is identical on each print out, 20mm on the left and 18mm on the right.
I'm not entirely sure it's the printer or I would expect to see some variation as you suggested - could it possibly be something is set wrong within the print settings within indesign - that's causing this small but rather difficult to solve problem.
Obviously as you say i could amend the designs and shift everything 2mm and enlarge the bleeds to allow for the shift but essentially I'm not willing to commit to these alterations until I'm fully convinced that it is not the software causing the issue.
Thanks again,
All the best,
Joe.

Adobe 9.2 "preparing document" when printing

I have a new HP laptop here at my property with Windows 7 (x32) and when she selects "print", it pops up the "preparing document for printing", but you can click past this window, but it still shows up.
She tried it on our 4250 HP Laserjet, it also does the same thing on out Ricoh MPC7500 color copier/printer. The HP is using PCL drivers, while the Ricoh is using it's own "brand" of drivers.
Anyone have any ideas?

Printing problems, black mark appears on document when printing using auto portrait/landscape

As the title says, pdf is fine on screen but when printing using auto portrait/landscape a black mark appears on the screen as in the photos below
when the orientation is selected the line disapears and the print works correctly
Anyone have any idea why this would happen?
Thanks
Ben

Hello Pelle,
Thanks for the feedback. Our printing code in Adobe Reader Touch doesn't have that capability right now, but since you mention it we should probably do what you're requesting by default. I'll put that into our backlog for a future update, but I can't say yet when it will be available.
In the interim, if you have pages that are different orientations, you can print them in blocks manually to get what you want, but I understand that's a hassle.

Showing invisible parts of the document when print is cancelled

The recommended way to hide content of a form designed in LifeCycle Designer 7.0 is to make the non-printable elements invisible in the prePrint event and to show them again in the postPrint event.
When the print is initiated, the respective objects become invisible and they are shown again after the print is executed with OK. However, when the print is cancelled by pressing Cancel, no postPrint event occurs and the objects remain invisible.
We have not found a workaround for this problem which appears to be a major functional issue which makes the advertised way of hiding content for printing not viable. That makes the product unusable for our purposes.
We have also tried to create a layered PDF with InDesign and adding control elements to this document. The plan was to mark some of the layers as non-printable in Acrobat. However, after we added the control elements, saved the file and opened it in Acrobat, all the layers were lost.
Is there a way to workaround this problem?

Thank you for responding. Below is some info.
Please see the clipping on the "d" in Pastel Bond and White Bond and the rounded part of the "R" in 2 &3 Part NCR. We have had this happen on occasion with other files as well. Thanks for the help.

Locking a document when printing?

Hi Gurus,
I hope you can help me with this issue.
I made a customized printing program in ABAP that will print a certain document. My requirement is, I need to prohibit/lock the document to be printed until SAP is done passing the spool request to the printer. I tried to research the concept of enqueue and dequeue but I guess i need sample code for customized programs so that I can understand it.
I hope you can help me with this requirement.
Thanks,

"no pages selected from document" when printing

When I try to print a picture I have selected, it says I have not selected it. Why? I know I am selecting it. It also says it is too big for the paper size which is a 4x6.

Stephen:
Regarding the "too big" for paper size issue, you first need to crop it to 4x6 beforehand and then in Page Setup make sure you've got 4x6 borderless selected in the Size menu and the correct orientation, landscape or portrait, selected. Then in the iPhoto print window select Standard Prints-4x6 and 1 photo per page. Also you should have selected your particular printer in both the Page Setup and iPhoto print windows.
I don't know why iPhoto would not recognize the fact that you've clicked on and selected a photo. Try doing a Revert to Original and then re-crop the photo and then see if the selection is recognized.

New keynote (6.5.2) produces zero-byte document when printing to pdf

I want a pdf version of a 30-slide Keynote presentation. Using the latest version of Keynote, print to pdf generates an output pdf file that is zero bytes in length. It does this whether I print all 30 slides, just one slide, etc. This is on Yosemite 10.10.1.

Hi Ben and thanks for your reply.
Just to clarify a couple of things:
Unfortunately, as I mentioned, for various reasons to do with our print profiles etc we are currently required to print to pdf rather than export. Hopefully this will change soon, but for the moment it's unfortunately not an option.
Also, MathType only allows you to save equations as either eps or gif files and, seeing as we need them to be editable in case of revisions (not to mention quality of image rendering) eps is clearly the preferable format of the two.
Essentially, we don't have a choice about these two issues, so I'm really wondering if anyone out there can shed any light on what the cause of the error may be - particularly as it's only become an issue since upgrading to CS5 and MathType 6 (from CS2 and MathType 5).
Thanks

Wrong with font file when printing InDesign

I get an error message when press print and the message is "There was a problem with the font file" (translated from Swedish) I have tried to change font but it dosent help. Anyone that have a solution to fix this problem?
I have started to use latest InDesign CC when this happened after used it for a couple of weeks. Running a HP 64 bit workstation with Windows XP

Sounds like it is warning you are missing a font in the document when printing it.
When you open the InDesign document, In the lower-left corner of your screen, do you see any errors?
Double-click the error. This will display the Preflight panel.
Click on the Expansion arrow next to Text.
Do you see a 'Mssing font' error? If yes, keep expanding until you can select the actual error.
At the bottom of the panel, click the expansion arrow to the left of Info. You'll be able to see a bit more information about the error, and also a tip on how you can fix it. E.g. you can either install the font on your computer, or replace it with another font before printing. If you click on the link to the far right of the error, it will take you to the text in the document that is formatted with a missing font.

LaserJet CM1312 MFP faded text when printing.

Hi,
When using this CM1312 printer the text is faded in parts, mostly to the left hand side of the page but it is noticeable on the whole document when printing. It does this for all colours.
The ink toner cartridges have recently been changed and all are almost full. I have carried out all the cleaning checks and the diagnostic report check but this hasn't helped.
Any help with this problem would be great.
many Thanks
Leigh

Hi Leigh,
Are you still seeing this issue?
If so, does it occur on copies as well as print jobs?
Did you see the problem on the Diagnostics Page you printed?
Also, please check the firmware update site for the CM1312 and make sure you're running the latest firmware.
Finally, it sounds like you've already tried many of these things, but this link provides some things to try to resolve print quality issues.
I work for HP.

When chaning filename in Finder, pressing 9 causes document to print?

This is the strangest and most annoying glitch ever. If I'm modifying file names from a finder window (say, adding 2009, after the name) when I press the '9', the document immediately prints. Sure, I can open the file and Save As to change the name, but I'd rather fix this funny automated option.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
