When directing text or jpg to printer, it only prints 3/4 inch on left side. IE & Safari print OK

My laptop is running MS Vista home prem.
Firfox 4.0, Mozilla forefox yahoo! edition 1.8
I can highlight and print text selection, print entire text page, or just print a jpg photo from all sites while in firefox. Result is it prints only 3/4 inch wide strip from top to bottom of page and the rest of the page is blank.
If I execute the exact print functions of the exact txt or photo via IE or Safari all prints fine over entire page.
Another problem:
Also I when I would right click on a photo and perform "save an image" it firefox seems to be working fine and it saves the photo but when you attempt to display it later it is just text garbage.
thanks for your help. tom

Try the '''''reset''''' described here: <br />
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problems_printing_web_pages#Reset_printer <br />
Make sure you reset the '''margin''' prefs for that printer.

Why do i get a fuzzy print ... black only... at the far left side of the page?

I get a fuzzy print at the far left edge of the page BLACK INK ONLY.... It appears that the ink is low but I get no message and the rest of the page if fine. I did the auto print head cleaning and tried 3 time to realign the print head but keep getting "unsuccessful" after the first alignment test page prints. My black ink cartridge is NOT HP.. it's after market.. could this be my problem with the print and alignment?

Hi @Wally-Bird ,
I see that you are experiencing issues when printing in black, you are getting fuzzy printing on the left side of the page.
I would like to help you out today.
HP recommends that you use genuine HP cartridges. HP cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of non-HP cartridges, or refilled HP cartridges. The following solutions might not resolve your print quality issue.
I have provided a document with some steps to try to see if that will resolve the issue.

Left side of Safari 3.0.4 webpages won't print

Anything I print on my Samsung ML-2510 laser printer using Safari 3.0.4 (OS X 10.5) does not have the left side 1/16". The margin is only 3/16", and the right side has a wide margin. I'm loosing the first letter of each line. How can I adjust the margins?

Hi,
It's a known issue at Google and they're working to fix it:

When i open my itunes my screen doesn't have the list on the left side

my itunes screen looks different when plugging in my iphone I cannot find the list on the left side that shows my music, apps, etc
what changed and how do I get the screen to look like it used to
I cannot sync my apps or music cannot find anywhere to do this
why did apple take that away or change the look without asking first?

It's just that you are a tad bit behind the times here, shouser. When iTunes 11 came out your issue came up many times a day for many weeks. The question was asked and answered time and time again. I'm sure that Apple is very clear on the response to that decision. I'm not saying that I liked it any better than you, but the discussion is SO over....
Take a look at "More Like This" just to the right of this discussion....
And, seriously? You are going to never get an Apple product again because of a software decision that you don't agree with, and because you don't think the solution is intuitive enough, even though it is a simple thing to rectify (once you have paid a little attention and read a little to find out how to get the sidebar to display)?
Well, if that one tiny little problem is enough to make you want to go to the dark side, then by all means, GO!
I'm sure that your new Android and PC will hold your hand with everything you need without any effort on your part....
Cheers,

I am getting a printer message "on hold, Authentication required" when directly connected (USB) to any printer I try to install to my MacBook Pro. Any ideas?

I am having trouble with printing from my MacBook Pro. After succesfully installing a printer, sending a print job results in a alert in the print que that says "on hold Authentication Required"
I am fairly new to Mac and have not the slightest clue what I am doing wrong. Please help!
Thanks, Slojon

After upgrading to OSX Mountain Lion on one of our home computers and having no difficulty with printer access for months, after a glitch involving loss of power, suddenly "On hold (authentication required)" started showing up.
When I deleted the printer and then tried to add it back using the default listing for the printer I got the message "Unable to download the software from the server at this time." I felt I was going backwards. The whole situation was maddening for a couple of days.
Details:
Older G5 Desktop Mac running OSX Snow Leopard wth an HP Color LaserJet 2550 attached via USB.
Early 2011 13" MacBook Pro running OSX Mountain Lion.
Airport WiFi network.
This is really two problems: how to add a printer successfully and how to print without authentication.
How to add a printer
Do not use the default listing for adding the printer that shows up in the popup menu, instead use the generic "Add printer" command, then select the printer and printer type from the secondary menu that comes up. This worked fine for me.
How to avoid the "Authentication required"
Software update on both machines.
Reset printing system (Option & minus "-" key) on both systems.
Add the printer back to the server (older G5 Mac in my case) system.
Ensure that both the printer sharing is selected for the printer and …
… that printer sharing is turned on globally in the Sharing System Preferences
Add the printer back to the client system
I was also able to work this through the CUPS system described in other posts (http://localhost:631) but I always prefer to let Mac OSX handle the UNIX details since I have greater confidence I won't be inadvertantly messing something up.

My i phone 4 when recieving texts from i phone 4s contacts only shows their phone number not contact name.. why?

this only happens in text messaging... i've tried re entering phone numbers etc but doesn't seem to make a difference... even if i look up a name in contacts (their name in contacts is still as it was) if i click the name and click send message or if they send me a text, all that shows up is their phone number. anyone else seeing this problem?

This is strange, but a lot of strange things can happen with the phone when data or code get corrupted. Did you look at your contacts to see if they aren't corrupted or duplicated?
I suggest trying the usual troubleshooting steps as needed to clear the problem:
1. Reset phone - press home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears.
2. Restore phone in iTunes using a backup.
3. Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
4. Restore as a new iPhone.

When highlighting text and searching with Google, even though my default browser is Chrome, it searches with Safari. How do I change that?

Using iMac and Maverick OS. I have Chrome as my default browser. I find that going to System Preferences/General under default browser, I note that Chrome is chosen as default, yet the browser "above the line" is Safari and Chrome, while checked off is "below the line". In other words, the top listed browser is Safari which is unchecked with a line underneath, even though all the other browsers are listed below the line and only Chrome has a check mark.
When I am on a website and I select words to search in Google, it always searches with Safari instead of Chrome. How do I change that?

Thanks for your response. I think it was my error in that I did not define the problem properly. Indeed Chrome is my default browser. And Maverick does not have a "next line" to default to Google. I can do that in the Chrome settings.
My problem is that when I am in another application.....and it is apparently an application native to Maverick....for example Contacts or Calendar, Reminders, Notes, etc., if I highlight a word or phrase, and right click and choose "search with Google", it defaults to Safari. How do I change that?

I just switched to Firefox 10.0. Why is it that when I click on my bookmarks I get a bar that opens on the left side of my window? I have to go back to my bookmarks icon to close the

Since I installed Firefox 10.0 when I open my bookmarks I get a side window that opens and stays open when I click on a bookmark. I have to go back to the top icon to close the side window. In the past when I would get the drop down bookmark list that would disappear when I clicked on a bookmark. Is there a way to go back to the way it used to be?

Thanks guys! That took care of it. Appreciate your response.

When looking for a document, there used to be a "Today" tab on the left side of the Finder window. After updating my computer with the most recent update (I think it was Mountain Lion, but I could be wrong...), the "Today" tab seems to have disappeared.

I really prefer using the "Today" tab instead of the "All My Files" tab, because it loads much faster and only shows me the documents that I want to see. Is there any possible way to get the "Today" tab back?

In Finder, go command - F. On the top left set "Kind" to Date Created, finish selecting the criteria and hot "Save" on the top right. You'll get a new smart folder with an option to add it to the sidebar.

Delay when moving text boxes or graphics?

I have recently installed CS5 and am having trouble with editing/designing in In Design. I have a 2-page document, 1 with a lot of text and graphics and the other with just a few text boxes and images. Moving items using the arrow keys on my keyboard has not been a problem in previous versions of ID, but now there is a significant delay in when I push the arrow key and when the text box or image moves, but only on one of these two pages. Any idea how to fix this or what is causing this problem? Am I the only one having this experience? I've searched online and already tried changing the interface preference to every possible option but that doesn't work. Someone help me please!

First of all, this belongs in the InDesign forum, not here.
Setting the Live Screen Drawing preference to delayed seems to be helping others with the same problem.
Please post any followups to the InDesign forum.

Printing problem when PDF is sent to the printer with certain fonts - missing text

I'm running into a printing problem when PDFs containing certain characters of the Calibri font are used. The text in large sections of the PDF is missing on the paper version, but the text is there on the screen. It's also happened when the PDFs we created were e-mailed out to a client and printed on their printer. The problem is not present when printing directly from the programs (Microsoft Word, Excel, Visio, etc.). I've been trying to get tech support from Adobe on this, but every time I call they apologize and say they will call back in 4-6 hours with an answer. Same result each time, no call back. If anyone from Adobe is listening, it's case number 184891587. The font appears as an embedded subset when I look at the document properties. Sometimes deleting one or two Characters allows for larger text blocks to be printed - i.e. removing a long dash in bold from the heading of a paragraph makes the paragraph reappear when printed to paper from PDF. In all cases the PDF appears correct on the screen. Printing as an image allows the text to appear, but the image quality isn't acceptable for small text, even at the 600 dpi setting on the printer. If the PDF is sent out by e-mail, we do not have control over the end-user's printer setup anyway, so we need this to work in all cases.
The setup/process I'm using is as follows:
Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-Bit
Microsoft Office 2013 - problem is present when printing documents from Word, Excel or Visio. Even other variations on documents.
I've tried Acrobat versions 11.0.0 to 11.0.5 as well as Acrobat Pro 11.0.0 and 11.0.1. Same Result
Printing to Adobe PDF as the printer, from the third party application
Printing to a Xerox printer from PDF using Acrobat - Text missing
Client prints to Konica printer - Text missing
I print to the wide-format Ricoh (which also does 11x17) and the text is present.
Is there something I'm missing? Is the entire font not getting embedded into the PDF file? I noticed that rolling back to a much older version of the Calibri font (1.02 compared to 5.72) makes the problem mostly go away, but it's not completely gone. Is it possible the font is too large to be completely embedded? Where can I go from here?

Success! At least for now. It looks like my problem was fixed with Adobe's most recent update, 11.0.06. From the release notes:
PDF creation
Added support for Lotus Notes 9.
Added support for WebCapture in IE 11.
Added support for conversions from AutoCAD 2013.
3652540 A blank pdf is created for files having hidden visual style.
3601108 Flow Chart converts as a multicolored square.
3654345 Word documents missing parts of images in conversion to PDF.
3654572 Temporary file size increases when creating pdf by combining multiple files into one PDF.
3670155 PDF file created with Distiller XI prints incorrectly to some printers. (Emphasis mine)
3599407 Checkbox check marks do not appear in these files.
3663233 IE Web Capture in localized OS: Icons and drop-down menu items are missing and conversion dialog is not localized.
3651931 Chrome Only: Few web pages when converted to pdf from Chrome plugin doesn’t show up the Save As dialog.
3597910 EPM Mode On: Web capture is not working on Windows 8-32 bit when cache folder is missing.
3610644 Firefox 23.0: With Firefox version 23.0 (latest), the WebCapture icon shows up very dim as if it is disabled.
3650244 ODA falis to convert DWG files to PDF for large files.
I don't know if that's definately what solved the problem, but it sure sounds similar and this is the update that made the printing problem go away. We can't get the PDFs to fail at this point with our printers, even with Calibri 5.72. I'll come back to thread if we have printing problems at the end-user locations.

I wonder about the colors in the program. When i work and later gonna print the text i have some problem. The color is not the same when im print it. One color on the screen and another when i print it why?

Why do my layers disappear when I save a .jpg?

Photoshop has learned a new trick in my office today:
I arrange all of my text and layers the way I want them, get all ready to save and my group of layers becomes invisible. This is odd. They are all set to be visible in the layers window, soI select the group, use the move tool to wiggle them and they reappear. I put them back where they belong, all is good, I save my .jpg and the layers are not visible when I open the .jpg. They are, however, visible in the thumbnail version of the image in Windows Explorer. I go back to Photoshop and the layers are invisible again in spite of being set to visible.
I am at a loss. I have never experienced this before. I thought maybe it was my video card screwing up so I restarted my computer and the problem is still there. Has anyone experienced this before?

Maybe this will help. This is a screenshot of what I am talking about. All of the layers that I have circled in red should have a picture of a TV, some text, shapes, etc. All are marked as visible yet I can't see them.They are not off the drawing board, nor are they under the background. If I select the containing group and move it, they become visible again.
This is directly after trying to save a .jpg.
This is what it looks like when I try to view my .jpgs in Windows. This is the filmstrip view. When I open the .jpg in Windows Picture Viewer, all I get is the background image like the one here but if you look at the thumbnail, you can see what it is supposed to look like. I have never seen this happen before in 2 years of working with Photoshop.
Any help or direction with this would be greatly appreciated, I am at a loss as to what could be causing this.

How to send a text file to a printer?

Hi, I'm in dark on how to send a text file to a printer through Java Stored Procedure.
Here are what I tried so far (OS: win 2000, Oracle: 817 or 9i2):
1, Enable DOS command in Java Stored Proc. and try to send PRINT command there:
public static String Run(String Command){
try{
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(Command);
System.out.println("Command: " + Command);
return("0");
catch (Exception e){
System.out.println("Error running command: " + Command +
"\n" + e.getMessage());
return(e.getMessage());
public static void main(String args[]){
if (args.length == 1)
Run("print /D:\\\\enterprise\\john " + args[0]);
else System.out.println("Usage: java OSCommand filename");
PL/SQL wrapper:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION OSCommand_Run(p1 IN VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2 AUTHID CURRENT_USER AS LANGUAGE JAVA NAME 'OSCommand.Run(java.lang.String) return java.lang.String';
SQL command:
//print /D:\\machine\printer test.txt
I loaded the Java Stored Procedure into SYSDBS account, it failed silently, even though piece of code works fine in external JVM.
2, Use filePrinter:
public static String print(String printString) {
try{
String printerUNC = "\\\\machine\\printer";
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(printerUNC);
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(fw);
pw.println(printString);
fw.close();
return "OK";
}catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
return "Exception: " + e.getMessage();
public static void main(String[] args) {
try{
String printerUNC = "\\\\machine\\printer";
String printString = "Hello World";
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(printerUNC);
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(fw);
pw.println(printString);
fw.close();
}catch(Exception e){e.printStackTrace();}
I loaded it into SYSDBS too, and tried with this:
SQL> select MY_PRINT.PRINT('HELLO from Oracle') from dual;
MY_PRINT.PRINT('HELLOFROMORACLE')
Exception: No such file or directory
SQL> show user
USER is "SYS"
It works in external JVM too.
What's wrong with this?
Thanks for any help in advance,
Charles

Avi:
Thanks for your response!
I put the java code in SYS, 'cause I assume that account has max privilege. If the test is successful, I will move that to some user schema and then to deal with those privilege settings... But I'm unlucky.
I checked Ask Tom, this is what I got from http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/ask/f?p=4950:8:1619723::NO::F4950_P8_DISPLAYID,F4950_P8_CRITERIA:38012348052,%7Bprinter%7D:
... Print file from PL/SQL ...
If you are using Oracle8i, release 8.1 -- much can be done with Java. java
would be able to print directly from the server.
Looks like using Java to print out file is better than PL/SQL. But there's no more hint there! And, no new question can be asked there today either...
I'm wondering whether we can create a socket to a printer and send the characters there directly... Anyone has experience on this?
Thanks for all the help in advance,
Charles
