Time to Print Book

Can anyone give me an idea of how long it takes Apple to print a hardcover book and ship it back to me?
I'm coming up on a birthday and need some idea of my deadline.
Thanks.

Can anyone give me an idea of how long it takes Apple to print a hardcover book and ship it back to me?
It may depend upon where the printing is done. I believe there are only 2 locations in the US, one in Elk Grove, CA, near Sacramento and one on the East Coast, not sure exactly where. Since I live in CA, mine ship quickly, even with Standard shipping, I have ordered and received the book in less than 5 days. However, I have not ordered any books since last December, so there might have been some changes since then.

Is there any way to "Print book" with mixed version FM files?

Am fairly new to Framemaker and we all just upgraded to TCS and FM 9 from FM 7.2. After upgrade, when I went to "print book" and generate the postscript file, I found I had to re-save each FM file in the book to the current version before it would work. Plus, on each re-save, I had that extra prompt to tell it to continue each time (and then, of course, re-save the file). Is there any setting in FM 9 that will either create the .ps file without updating each .fm file to FM 9 first? Failing that, is there some way to do a mass update to FM 9? Failing THAT, is there a setting to temporarily eliminate that additional prompt on opening the older files?

This is what I do, but the dialog appears for each file, not once for all files. I just position my pointer over the Yes in the first box, click it, and do not move the mouse. Just have to click, click, click,... until all the files are open. Does not take long unless one of the files can't find a referenced graphic.

Printing Books for a Photo Class

I am a college student in a digital photography class. About 90% of the class is on a Mac and we use iPhoto & Aperture to edit photos. We want to start printing books but before we do, what recommendations do you have for the other 10% of the class? Is there a program that PC users can either purchase or download that will allow them to make books? Thanks for your time.

PC users, as well as Mac users, can make photo books on a variety of online programs. Shutterfly, SharedLink, ImageStation, PhotoWorks all will allow users to create nice bound books. Shutterfly has nice options for page layouts--even more than Apple!

C3180 is printing 2345x in top left corner of blank pages every time i print

Every time I print anything from my Mac Book Pro (running Mavericks 10.9), my C3180 spits out a page with 2345x printed in the top left corner of an otherwise blank page. Wasting my paper and my ink.
Anyone have any suggestions?
This question was solved.

Thanks all for the information. We are taking a look at what this might be. Is it printing this out on a single sheet after the desired print, or on the same page or a combination? Any additional details will greatly help trying to track this issue down to root cause.

When I click Buy Book this appears our book appears to have default text that has not been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue? will the text I have sellected still be ok or will the book have missing text help Pleas?

I just spent 3 days creating a book [32 pages], with photos and text but when I click Buy Book In iPhoto this appears>
Our book appears to have default text that has not been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue?
My question is will the text I have sellected to use still be ok, am I safe to continue and buy or will the book have missing text ?
The book is for special birtday in 2 weeks time Please Help.G
<Email Edited by Host>

Yes, you're safe to continue. That means that there are text boxes that you did not put any text into and they contain the holding text which will not be printed. That text is shown in a light grayt and is in Latin. Normally you can just put a space in the text box to replace the holding text so as not to get that warning message.
Before ordering the book proof the book according to this Apple document: iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture. Check the pdf file for any missing text or photos and any warning indicators in the text boxes indicating that some of the text has exceeded the space allotted in the text box.
Keep the pdf file to compare with the printed copy when you reciive it.

FrameMaker crashes when selecting print book file

I have recenctly update to TCS4. FrameMaker crashes when I select Print Book but will produce a PDF is I select Save As PDF.
Anyone else experiencing this and have a resolution?

While I agree that this should not occur, you've said you can produce a PDF...
Is there a reason you don't want to print from the PDF?
Many long-time Framers are so used to doing this that we don't even use the Print dialog anymore...
That said, if you want to track down the culprit, try the excellent suggestions above:
set printer to Adobe PDF
MIF wash
Create a new book, and open all files
and add 2 more to the list:
Ensure that all the alerts are checked in Edit > Preferences > Global > Alerts
Update your book and address any missing resource messages

Is it possible to publish blogs to a print book?

I know that some other blog sites have the option to publish your blog entries to a printed book like a journal. The sites I have found are not compatible with iweb blogs. Does anyone know of a way to do this? I would like to have my blog entries as a "journal".

I'm not familiar with blog sites so didn't know you'd have so many individual pages. Do you have a search option to find entries by date? If so and do they all come up on one page that you could copy with Paparazzi? Don't know of any other tips at this time.
You might as the Apple people at either http://www.apple.com/feedback/iweb.html or http://www.apple.com/feedback/mac/tm.html.

How can I save to the same map every time when printing pdfs?

How can I save to the same map every time when printing pdfs?
Finder points to the document map even when I chose a different map recently.
I often print series of pdfs from the print dialog box, I'd like to choose the map to save to and then have all subsequent pdf prints automatically directed to the same map until I decide otherwise.

that link seems to be broken right now:
403 Error - Forbidden - No cred, dude.

I select print and it is taking a long time to print

I have a HP 6500A plus...the printer keeps going off line. Then when it shows on line it takes a long time to print.

How is your computer connected to your printer. Is it networked do you have other networked devices that work ok?

Sometimes it takes several posts back and forth to get to a solution - please be patient.

Scanning multiple pages from print book into computer

How to scan multiple pages from print book into computer? Someone supplied a link to this question, but I got stuck at step 1: Where is "HP Director software"? In other directions, it says to open the "HP Scan window," but that option is not available to me when I follow the directions. I have an HP 2159m computer, HP Photosmart Plus all-in-one, Windows 7, and use Firefox, if that's any help.
TIA

I have a similar problem:
I am using an HP Officejet 6310xi via its TWAIN interface. Regardless of which application invokes TWAIN (whether Irfanview, Thumbs Plus, or something else), the scanner dialog closes after transferring each scanned image. To scan the next page requires re-starting the scanner, beginning with a whole new preview and re-entering all my scan settings. This is only an issue with the HP scanner, not with my Cannon CanoScan LIDE 100, Visioneer OneTouch 8920, or any other scanner, each of whose scanner dialogs stay open for scan after scan. Can anyone help me make the HP scanner dialog stay open for multiple pages?
Note: Based on a suggestion on another site I set my scan preferences to include "Prompt for Additional Scans from Glass" as follows, but it did not help.
I am experienced at scanning, but I find it extremely frustrating that the HP scan dialog closes, forgetting its settings, after each page.
If it helps others, I gladly share my article, "Freedom from Paper--At Last" here

Print PDF document with printer's name and date/time of print

Hi,
I'm pretty new to this...
I have a PDF document and when I print it, I want the printer's name and the date/time of print to be showed on the printer's output.
I have several printers (some local and some on network) and don't necessarly use the default one. I would like the name of the printer used, to be printed on the document.
With var h = this.getField("Printer"); h.value = app.printerNames; I'm able to get the list of all printers available but I just need the one used.
For the date/time, using var f = this.getField("Today"); f.value = util.printd("mmm/d/yyyy", new Date()); gives me the date/time of when the document is open, not when the document is printed. (or maybe I'm missing something?)
I guess the date/time issue is not the major one as there is usually not much difference between the time you open the document and the time you print it.
I'm more interested in the printer's name.
I use Acrobat Pro 9 to edit my PDF document.
Can anyone help me please?
Thanks!

This project was left aside for a while... but it's now finished!
Thank you for the answers. It was helpful.
Here is a step-by-step of what I did (using Adobe Acrobat 9.5.1):
Open PDF document in Acrobat
Select Forms -> Add or Edit Fields
Add two text fields: one called "Today" for the date and one called "Printer" for the printer name
Close the form editing
Select Advanced -> Document Processing -> Set Document Actions...
Then select Document Will Print and Edit
Paste the following code:
var f = this.getField("Today"); f.value = util.printd("dd mmm yyyy - HH:MM", new Date());
var pp = this.getPrintParams();
this.getField("Printer").value = pp.printerName;
Save your PDF
Enjoy!
The date and printer name field will be automatically updated when you print the document!

Help: event times not printing in month view

... and yes, I have checked "show time in month view" in preferences, and the event times display on the screen. But on the monthly printout, the times do not appear, only ellipses where the time should be. There should be plenty of space for the information to print, there is white space both at the end of the event line and in the day box. But no times show up at all.
System data: Mac Mini, OS X 10.4.2, iCal 2.0.3 (1055), Brother MFC 7820N printer.
This is really awful... I just switched my wife over to the Mac Mini, and calendaring is a big part of what she needs. And she uses month views a lot. If I can't fix this, she'll probably throw the Mac Mini back in my face and I'll be sleeping on the couch. Yes, she cares that much about times printing in month views.
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I don't know whether this a "solution" or a work-around, but I did find a way to resolve this problem. I recently started using iCal by transferring appointments from a BlackBerry using the BlackBerry PocketMac software. Although all of the appointment times appeared on the monthly calendar, most of the appointment times were replaced by ellipses when the monthly calendar was printed. It turns out that the times would print only after re-entering the appointment manually. This had to be done completely from scratch, i.e., not by editing the original appointment, or by cutting and pasting the appointment back into the calendar. This is a complete pain, but seems to work. I'd love to hear a better solution...

How can I remove all or part of the information in headers and footers? For example, date and time of printing.

I cannot find where I can suppress the printing of the date and time of printing or if I want a header and/or footer at all.

If using the traditional menus, in the File menu select Page Setup
If using the orange Firefox button, click on it, then select Print and then Page Setup
Once you have the page Setup dialog displayed, go to the "Margins & Header/Footer" tab. You need to change all of the options for header and footer to "--blank--"

Appointment times not printing in month view

When I print a monthly calendar, most but not all of the appointment times do not print. Instead, the time is replaced by elipses ("..."). Also, end times are not printed. Any suggestions?

Hi,
Are you using the standard programm and print form or are you using your own?. Most of the printing issues happens because of own programms. Try with the standard and then you will be able to see why is this happening.
