USPS click-n-ship HELP

Until recently I was able to use click-n-ship with either Navigator or IE. Then I had a hard drive failure and Apple's fix was to reformat my HD. Now I no longer have IE and no other browser seems to work for me with click-n-ship. I've tried Safari, Netscape, and Firefox. I've got Acrobat Reader 7.0.7 and the full version of Acrobat 7.0 installed. Any help anyone can give me is much appreciated. Hopefully it's just some setting that I'm too stupid to fix. This isn't life or death, but it sure is nice to be able to print labels from home instead of my lousy Windows machine at the office. As an aside, it all worked just fine with Safari using the old Java system. They should have just left it alone.

Latest update: I tried Safari, Opera, Firefox, and the latest version of Netscape. All acted the same. I could, obviously, use the USPS site, but I could not print click-n-ship labels. Internet Explorer for Mac is no longer available from any download site I could find. So last night I had a revelation and simply draged the IE icon from my wife's laptop to a flash drive. It copied all of the components I needed to install it on mine and darned if it didn't work like a charm. Printed labels perfectly. I still can't explain why firefox and netscape seem to work for some people and not for me, but IE does. That's ALL I'll usee IE for, and only until Safari works, but now I'm golden.
Hope this will help someone.

  • Safari 5.1.2 not working with USPS Click-N-Ship Label Printing

    I use the USPS Click-N-Ship for printing postage labels. Prior to this update the behavior was: I'd enter the label information, check out and click the print button. The labels would be generated and downloaded to my downloads folder and Preview would automatically open the file with the labels. A quick CMD-P and I was all done.
    Since the update to 5.1.2 when I tell the post office website to print (ie generate) the label, no label is downloaded, thus nothing can be printed. The post office website behaves normally and acts as though the label was generated and handed off to the OS.
    My guess here is that the new PDF handeling is kicking in but because the PDF that's generated has a wacky (Adobe Reader?) extention Safari doesn't know what to do with it. Here's the file name that the USPS generates:
    com.usps.cns.web.pdf.LabelGenerationServlet
    My workaround today was to use firefox, which will download the above file, then I chage the extention to .pdf, then I can open it in Preview and print. A lot more steps and a lot more hassle. Any ideas on how I can go back to the prior behavior or should I just punt and install Adobe Reader, which is what the post office website is expecting, but I've never needed up until now?

    I usually print my labels effortlessly, directly from PayPal after someone pays via PayPal.  Yesterday I needed to print after being paid by check so I went directly to the USPS Click/Ship site.  So  after my label didn't print but USPS charged my account anyway, I called customer service at USPS.  After one hour on hold I was given another number for tech support.  Another hour later, someone finally answered and told me that Safari just changed and is no longer compatible with their system.  Grr.
    I asked her why USPS doesn't announce that clearly up front  on their site so Mac users won't have to go through all this wasted time and frustration and she said there aren't that many Mac users compared to PC!  Are they serious?  Really?
    Anyway, I suggested the makers of the printing programs make the effort to accommodate us "few" Mac users and she said I have to switch to Mozilla Firefox in order to print my labels.  Oh, also I have to wait two weeks for a refund. 
    I'm no computer whiz but how difficult could it be to allow the applet access to print the label which is generated and showing right there ON THE SCREEN?
    Perhaps if enough of us complain, they will consider us Mac users worthy of equal service.

  • USPS  Click-N-Ship

    Hello,
    I am trying to figure out how to use the Post Office's Click-N-Ship to print
    labels for mailing packages. I have dowloaded Adobe Reader Ver 8.0.0.
    When I attemtp to print a label, I get a print dialogue box. Hit the print button and nothing happens. I use an Elite 21N laser printer from GCC Technologies.
    The Elite Printer's dialogue box shows a document momentarily in the printer's list, then the document disappears from the list.
    Thank-you, John

    Hi JV,
    Thanks for your helpful suggestions. I have come across a very simple solution
    (From an advertisement in MacWorld).
    There is company called mac.ENDICIA.com. They have a specially designed
    interface....which works simply, effortlessly for shipping packages through
    the Post Office. There is a monthly fee. I am happy to pay when I do not
    spend six hours trying to figure the process. ENDICIAS interface is simple, simple simple.
    I really needed simplicity. The idea of saving a document to a different format and then changing programs to print it causes my eyes glazed-over.......let alone the problem with teaching this procedure to others.
    Thanks, John

  • With Firefox 4 I can't print a shipping label off the post office's website (click 'n ship) like I used to with Firefox 3

    I go through all the steps to print out a shipping label when I am on the post office's website for click 'n ship, but the website won't communicate with my printer (when I am in firefox 4). So I switched back to Firefox 3 and have no problems.
    This happened before in the beta version and I had to switch back to Firefox 3, so I was happy to switch again to Firefox 4 when the completed version came out, but the problem came up again and after all the steps were done to complete the shipping label and I hit the print label button, my printer connection window never popped up so that I could click on it to command my printer to print the label. I am a registered user of click 'n ship on www.usps.com

    After waiting forever to talk to some jerk at USPS Click and Ship help, he told me it's an Adobe issue. I didn't ask why it just started happening, but I too just updated to Foxfire 4 recently, it must have something to do with it.
    Open your Adobe reader... under programs...mine is called Adobe Reader X
    Go to "Edit" in top left...click "Properties"...
    Uncheck "display PDF in browser",
    Then restart your computer for it to take effect. I am so thankful it worked!

  • US Postal Service Click-N-Ship label problem

    Hi guys. I'm wondering if anyone can help me with a fix.
    I like to use Click-N-Ship to print my mailing labels with, and while I get a printable label with it, the barcode comes up missing when I view it in Preview.
    When I borrow someone's machine that has Acrobat Reader on it, the barcodes show up.
    My question is, is there anything that I can do to Preview to have the postal service's labels show up correctly on MY machine without my having to download the Adobe product?
    By the way, I showed this to our postal clerk, she told me they'd work without the barcode, but the code would have to be input manually because it can't be scanned. Naturally, if time is of the essence, it's to my advantage if the barcode shows up!
    Thanks to any and all in advance for your help.

    Another clue: when I tried a label on my home computer, I get indicia or bar codes. My home computer has never had Acrobat Reader on it. My work computer, from which I printed the original label, has both Acrobat Professional and Preview. I wonder if Acrobat corrupts Preview in some way to where it won't read the barcode fonts. I've even trashed the preferences for Preview on my work computer, and it still won't read them. They do come up in Acrobat.
    I wonder if the problem is that Acrobat and Preview don't play together nicely?

  • Click-n-ship

    The new Safari comes with inline pdf viewing. Nice, except it does not work with the US Postal Service click-n-ship service. When the USPS site sends the PDF to the browser, safari does not show it inline or give you the option to save it. The work around for now is to use Omniweb, which opens it in Preview.

    I am having the same problem. I cannot get Click-n-Ship to print labels on my new expensive imac G5. It does not work in Firefox or Safari. I cannot list anything in Safari. I wish they would have told me this at the Apple Store. The Post Office claims it's an Apple issue, Apple claims its a Post Office issue.
    Is there a fix?

    When I click on the 'help' key in the elements 12 program it wants to open it in Firefox2. Firefox doesn't work on my Macbook Pro Air. I use Safari. How do I get it to open?

    Hmm, that is very strange. I agree with MichelB that it's probably best just to get the PDF, but you can try going to your username>library>preferences and deleting:
    com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 settings
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 paths
    To see the library, click the Go menu in the Finder and hold down the option key and it will appear below the little house for your user account. While you're in there it wouldn't be a bad idea to go to the Saved Application States folder and delete anything pertaining to PSE.
    Repair permissions and see if that does it.

  • Disappearing of error message when i click on f4 help

    Hello all,
    I've got a little problem with displaying messages in WebUI (CRM 7.0) .
    when i do some wrong entries in assingment block and then i press enter then it display error message but
    when i click on f4 help the error message got deleted from the ui.
    I want error message to be displayed till entry is not filled with right value.
    I have written this code in modify method of handler class.
    lr_core = cl_crm_bol_core=>get_instance( ).
          gr_gmsg = lr_core->get_global_message_cont( ).
          gr_gmsg->add_bapi_messages( it_bapi_messages = lt_return
                                      iv_show_only_once = 'X' ).
          lv_object_id =  lr_bp->get_object_id( ).

                           iv_show_only_once = abap_true ).
    Regards,
    Nawal Kishore

    Hi Nawal,
    What is happening now is, the error messages are set to be displayed only once in the Web UI after the message is
    added to the message container. In the next round trip these messages will get cleared since you have passed
    the parameter 'iv_show_only_once' as true in both the add message methods. You should pass this parameter
    value as false in order to retain the error messages on the UI across the round trips. You can simply remove that
    parameter from the method as by default this parameter takes the value as 'false'.
    Regards
    Leon

  • Currently using iPhoto 7.1.5   We recently upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard with updated Quicktime player.  Our videos off our camera no longer open in Quicktime by double clicking.  Any help?

    We are running iPhoto 7.1.5 '08.  After upgrading to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and Quicktime Player 10.0, our videos off of our camera no longer open by double clicking.  Any help?

    Thank you for your quick reply.  I'll give it a try.  Another workaround I figured out last night is to right click the video, click show file, and then double click the file. Quicktime the plays the video.

  • When I enter a subject in the help "search box" and enter, it does not go to the subject but goes back to the screen before I clicked on the help option at the top of the screen

    I cannot get thehelp option to work. When I click on the help option at the top of the screen, I get the page with the Search option, but when I enter a subject to search, tescreen returns me to the point where I started before clicking on "help". Is the help file corrupted? How can I fix?

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?<br/> ''A troubleshooting mode.''<br />
    You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.''

    Having the same issue here....a quick fix is to just minimize the window, and immediately maximize it.  It will now fit the screen.  Trouble is, after you close it, you'll have to do it again when you re-start itunes.  The good news is it takes all of about 2 seconds.  Apple should fix this.  Should.

    I also have this problem. The Number two shows up in the App Store screen. I go to purchases and there are no apps that require updating. The number two in the App Store still remains on my screen. Has anybody found the solution yet? I called Apple, Only to be told that I should back up to iTunes on the computer, and then restore my iPad from the computer to eliminate the number two on the App Store screen. I'm hesitating to do that. Suggestions?
