Video Display on Laptop goes haywire when you go to print a document

Hello and Help..
I have a brand new HP 14-r001TU Laptop
It is running win 8.1 with all the updates it appears to work fine when browsing the web.
My printer is a HP 2540 with the latest driver installed, test pages print perfectly.
If I browse to a web page then want to print that web page then the issues start. The image on the page is partly displayed in a foreign language or script language, part of the page is usually ok. Graphics appear to largely be displayed ok, mainly the text component is affected.
i dont believe it's a printer issue but i may be wrong? The printer prints the corrupted page that is displayed.
Google Chrome was the browser, removing this program and defaulting to Inet Explorer has not fixed the issue..
Flash player, adobe, microsoft viewers are all installed and updated but still the problem exists.
I have checked to see if the intel graphics driver is up to date and it is..
HELP!!!!
Thanks
Problem now sorted. Google Chrome was the issue..

You '''don't''' want Print to File selected.
Is your hardware (physical) printer selected, or a virtual printer like XPS or the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer selected?
If you want it printed to paper you need to have a "real" printer selected.

My laptop goes haywire when the sound is unmuted

My laptop is going berzerk anytime I unmute the sound on it. When the sound is muted everything works fine, however when I unmute it the laptop will paste zxc\ty,.\ in the nearest free space, the caps lock will turn on, touchpad locks up, the scroll bar on the left will be stuck scrolling down and will nothing will work/stop until I hit the spacebar three times. Then I can once again use the keyboard but the zxc\ty,. keys will not work as well as the enter key on the main keyboard and the num lock on the keypad. When I try to mute it again, the mute button will not work and I will have to mute it using the touch pad by clicking on the speaker icon and selecting mute. Once it is muted again, everything will go back to functioning normally but without sound of course. Any ideas what could be causing this or how to fix it?

Is there any way to keep the flash from going off when you receive a text or other notification?

I have an iphone 4s. Is there any way to keep the flash from going off when you receive a text or other notification? I keep it next to my bed at night and keep thinking there is lightning when something comes thru. LOL

Go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn LED Flas for Alerts to Off.

The bell that goes off when you tap the microphone on and off in iOS7 is very loud. Can it be turned down or off?

What system are you running? Have you tried going to the Canon website to download and install the latest drivers for that model?
Are you running Time Machine?

My Photoshop Creative Suites Premium crashes when I try to print a document. WHY?

My Photoshop Creative Suites Premium crashes when I try to print a document. WHY? Why can I not print anything? I have to save it and then print it with Preview.

Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details like printer used, print settings and so on.

Look at your system crash report for your Photoshop crash. See what module failed. I its is in you printers driver. See if the is an update available for it.

I'm getting a "printer error" message when I try to print a document with a lot of scans in it. Any suggestions?

I'm getting a "printer error" message when I try to print a document with a lot of scans in it. Any suggestions?

OK, I tried a few things, and I do not understand the results.
1) I opened the document in Preview, and it would only recognize the three initial pages which I typed using the Pages App. It did not recognize the bulk of the text which I copied from Appleworks 6. It also did not recognize any of the scans.
2) I tried opening a pdf in Preview, and it would only recognize the scans. (No Text!)
3) I tried copying everything (select all, and command-c) in Pages, and then opened a blank Pages doc, and typed Command-v. This got me all of the text, but none of the scans!
4) I was worried that my Pages app might be corrupted, but I successfully converted a similar 78-page document with copied materials from Appleworks 6 and similar scans, ant this worked perfectly.
My conclusion is that my file must be corrupted. Is there any way to check this? shabda88

My Imac 's fan goes haywire when screensaver and/ or shutdown takes place

My 14 month old apple Imac's fan goes crazy when the screensaver and /or shutdown takes place.. otherwise it works beautifully and does not normaly make any noise at all.
Thank you..

Hi Gillal,
If your the fans in your iMac fans are running frequently it may be that your computer is overheating for any number of reasons. This article should help you understand how they work -
Learn about the fans in your Mac
If the iMac seems to be using the fans when it should not be, you may want to reset your iMac's System Management Controller. See this article for the steps to do so -
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

I'm sure that question means something to you, just not to the rest of the English speaking world, even if repeated 3 times.

When I try and print a document the Save As dialog box pops up and my document doesn't print.

My printer is a Kodak ESP C310, I am using Windows XP, There is no error message, I can use my printer as a copy machine and it will print, but not when use the print command from the laptop.

Hi,
Please check if the default printer is selected as your printer model under printers and faxes and then try printing again.

Can't print to lexmark model X5470 printer. Get knocked off line when I try to print a document.

Anytime I try to print a document using Lexmark model X5470, i.e. boarding passes from Delta.com, or any other web site, I get knocked off line.
However; I can print the same items when on Internet Explorer, Safari, and Google Chrome with no problems.'''
I have an HP deskjet that works fine on Mozilla, but the Lexmark X5470 will not print from Firefox. It will; however, print a PDF document from Mozilla.

This may be a printer driver issue. I recommended first connect printer directly to computer and check for Software Updates, this will tell you if you have any printer updates.
If you are using a Mac computer follow troubleshooting steps in HT3500
(Basically, navigate to Print & Scan in System Preferences and right-click or control-click on printer from left and choose Reset Printing System, then re-add preferred printer.)
If you are using a Windows computer download and install Bonjour Print Services DL999

What's going on when you type "sudo visudo" and hit Ctrl+C ? And why ?

It goes into a loop:
I tried several times to grab the nonsense on the screen.
Is this a bug ? I'm not sure if it's related to xterm (because the same happens in guake).
It's freaking me out. What do ?
PS: I'm using the open source xf86-video-nouveau driver if you think it may be a driver issue.

EDITOR=nano
sudo visudo
export EDITOR=nano && sudo visudo
They both open with vi. So how the heck do I edit my sudoers file then ?
PS:
I'm sure vi is a powerful editor (in the right hands) but it's waaaaay off the KISS principle.
Nano is like 30 times easier. I couldn't even find the QUIT command in vi, lol.
