My internet explorer shuts down when I try to print from any website

I try to print a pdf file from any website I use for my work & it disconnects internet explorer so I am unable to look at the document or print it out

Try disabling Protected Mode in Adobe Reader [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

When downloading a file from a website, I get the file but it is totally black and never fully opens up. I can see page numbers to advance See screen shot

Same as question. On two different URL sites, the download PDF comes up black. I would include the screen shot of the black pdf, but I do not see where I can add this to my question

Firefox's built-in PDF viewer is not yet as full-featured as Adobe's plugin. You might need to use Adobe for that one. Here's how to make the switch: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]].
Any luck, or same issue?

When printing from a website the date and website line on the printed page is in gibberish

when i print from a website why are the date and website lines at the top and bottom of the page in gibberish?

Adjust the print scale: File > Page Setup > "Format & Options": Scale (deselect: "Shrink to fit page width")

I cannot print from a website using the "print" button nor going to "file" "print preview" (nothing there to preview) then "'print" - nothing prints.

I cannot print from any wetsite as there is no print button. I have tried using the printer icon, also file, print preview then print. Nothing to preview nothing printed. How do I print from a website?????

If this is similar to problems I sometimes have printing -- 1) Only happens on some, not all, websites 2) Printer preview window comes up OK, just shows a blank page -- I can suggest a work around, if not a solution: try turning your page into a PDF. Either install an extension which gives a "Save as...PDF" menu option, or a PDF printer driver (I use bullzip). The problem seems to be with the manner the websites use frames and/or javascript. This work around also handles websites that can't get along with your printer settings and chop off edges.

I can no longer print from a website. I can from other browsers but not Mozilla. Help

I used to be able to print any time I needed to. Then the print became so small I could not read it. Then the pages I printed from the website, printed blank pages. I contacted Thunderbird because this was first noted on email when I tried to print something from a website, they told me it was a Mozilla problem. So I then tried to print straight from the website and got the same thing. Nothing. The page is completely blank when printed.

These suggestions are not the problem and I have contacted HP and they have run all the diagnostics and they say the problem is not with the printer or the software. All other browsers print, just not Mozilla

Firefox freezes when opening an adobe acrobat (PDF) file from any website

Firefox freezes when opening an adobe acrobat (PDF) file from any website. This only started happening after the latest update of Firefox was installed. Do you have a fix?

Hi Susan,
The Adobe plugin in Internet Explorer is a bit different from the one in Firefox, however they're all made by Adobe and they usually come with Adobe Reader.
When you open a PDF file in Firefox, it "calls" Adobe Reader to help it read the file. In this case, the Adobe Reader takes over, and it is responsible for freezing your browser.
I suggest you try the last 4 solutions presented on the [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]] (start with "Re-install the plugin" through "Re-install Adobe Reader").
Good Luck :D

I want to have a unique reference appear on the footer of each printed version of a pdf printed from my website - is this possible?

I want to have a unique reference appear on the footer of each printed version of a pdf printed from my website - is this possible? If so which version of Adobe do i need?

If you want it to maybe happen some of the time, if people use the right browser and software and system, you can use JavaScript.
If you want it to happen reliably, you need server software to add the stamp before the file is served, integrated into your web site's CGI/ASP/PHP or whatever. Probably not an option with shared hosting.

Upgrade to tiger, can't print from any app

Hi All
I normally fix my own problems, but this has me stumped.
I've upgraded to tiger and done a software update to 10.4.7.
Now I can't print from any app.
I've done the "reset printing system" but this hasn't worked.
All my printers are ethernet networked, no USB.
At this time of writing, I have just managed to print from indesing CS2, but nothing else, mail, textedit, acrobat, none of them work...
...Don't suppose anyone has any ideas?
PS, when I attempt to print, my app is quit and I have to relaunch.

G5dp, G4qs, mini, eMac, G3 & iPod... big TFT & Nespresso coffee machine! Mac OS X (10.4.7) Should of stayed with panther!

I had the same problem when I upgraded to Tiger. I have a HP PSC 2175 All-in-one printer. I solved my problem by uninstalling the HP printer software, emptying the trash, restarting, and reinstalling the HP printer software. I also installed the lastest HP printer driver, which I downloaded from the HP website.
I repaired permissions after doing all that, and now everything seems to print fine.
I suspect the same steps might work for other printers, as well.
The relevant page from the HP site is here: http://tinyurl.com/ztkwq
Macfixit also has a tutorial for troubleshooting printer problems. I have not tried any of the solutions which involve downloading troubleshooting software. Maybe someone else here can say whether the software mentioned in the article works well or not. You can find the Macfixit information here: http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20060724111816602
Hope that helps.

I'm guessing your problem is caused by code validation errors: orphaned division tags for example, or mismatched code and document type (i.e. XHTML /> mixed with HTML > style closures).
Start by using the code validation tools below and fix any reported. You'll need an Internet connection for this:
HTML Validator - http://validator.w3.org
CSS Validator - http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
HTML & CSS Tutorials - http://w3schools.com/
If this doesn't solve the problem, you will need to post a URL to your live page so we can see your code and images working together. Or at the very least copy and paste your HTML and CSS code into a reply using double arrows >> Syntax Highlighting > Plain.

Mac OSX Reader 10.1.2 – Cannot Change Default Printer From "Any Printer"

With Mac Acrobat Reader 9.x it was possible to use Page Setup to set the default printer from “Any Printer” to one of our choice. Once set it was possible to print many documents without having to go back and reset it every time. In other words it would ‘remember’ the setting.
Mac Acrobat Reader 10.1.2 does not remember the setting of the printer in the Page Setup dialogue and keeps reverting to "Any Printer" between printing; either from the same document or multiple documents. Thus on each occasion I need to print I need to go to Page setup and reselect the printer. Irritating, and time wasting.
Now this would not matter if there were not a slight, but nevertheless significant, improvement in print quality between a document printed with the correct printer and “Any Printer” selected in Page Setup.
NOW, before you all jump in with suggestions read this:
1: I do have the printer selected as the default printer in System Preferences (no difference anyway).
2: Selecting printer in the Print dialogue makes no difference to the print quality. It MUST be selected in Page Setup.
ADOBE, can you please get Mac Acrobat Reader X (10.x) to revert to the same behaviour as Reader 9.x ?
Thank you.

The same problem exists in Reader 11.0 for Mac. In my case, it defaults to our specialty photo printer instead of the workhorse laserprinter.

Cannot print from ANY application after upgrade to 10.4.8 !!!

Hi all,
as it is written in the subject.
Up to yesterday, I had OS 10.3.9, everything ok, could print from any application.
Then I moved to Tiger and to the last version (10.4.8).
And today the "nice" surprise: either from Preview, Texshop, Word, any web browser... I cannot print anymore!! As soon as I go to file/print, the application crashes, any suggestions??
Thanks a lot

Hmmm. It sounds like a possible problem with the system prior to updating. If you've done this already don't be upset by the suggestion. I'm just trying to cover the bases.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your OS X volume from the list on the left, click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (3.0.3 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.1 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X. Note that Disk Warrior will not work on Intel Macs.
Download the standalone 10.4.8 Combo Updater (be sure to get the correct version - Intel or PPC - for your Macs. Reinstall the update using the Combo Updater.
As an added precaution I would recommend you first boot into safe mode before doing the above.
There is a shareware utility called Printer Setup Repair (www.macupdate.com) that you can also try. It is sometimes very useful for fixing problems with the printing system.

How can I add my HP Photosmart C4180 to my home network so that I can print from any of my computers

I am trying to set up my HP C4180 to my home network so that I can print from any of my computers without having to have them attached by USB.
The YouTube video I watched was for a different HP printer and the installation of my HP C4180 did not give me the option of selecting printing through a network.
I currently have the printer attached to my desktop, but do not like having to keep the desktop on just so that I can use its shared printer. Is there a way to add the printer to the network independent of my desktop?

You could buy a router that supports USB printers, but with that (and your current setup) you can only access printing, not scanning.
I recommend a new wireless printer. They are not very expensive and can be placed anywhere in your home that has wifi access.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

I have Cs2 andOffice for Mac 2004 installed on an Os 10.6.3 system. This weekend my computer did an auto pdate to Os 10.6.8 and now I cannot save or print from any office or CS2 Apps. What happened. Office also freezes and I have to force quit.

I had Cs2 and Office for Mac 2004 installed on an OS 10.6.3 system. Worked fine. This weekend my computer did an auto update to OS 10.6.8 and now I cannot save or print from any office or CS2 Apps. What happened. Office also freezes and I have to force quit. Any advise. System or Software problem?

Bad timing. Reapply the security update:

What happened is that version 1.0 of the security update was available for a bit of time this weekend, and that disabled Rosetta. Version 1.1 brought it back.

Magenta cast when printing from any app in Mountain Lion

I get a serious magenta cast when printing from any application using my Epson R3000 inkjet. I am aware of the double profile issue. For example in Photoshop I let it do the color management. ML automatically turns off printer color management. My monitor is calibrated with Xrite Color Munki. I did not have this issue before upgrading to ML 8.2. Is there a driver issue?

In System Preferences->Monitors->color is the correct
color profile set?
Do you you have the correct profile for the printer
selected in Photoshop?
Also, are you using Proof Setup in Views?
Need to ask since sometimes a person can stare at
something too long and think it is correct (done it myself often).
It may not be a driver but an issue with color profiles.
It is possible one or more of the color profiles may be corrupted.
Go to Utilities->ColorSync Utility select and run Profile First Aid.
See if problems found in profiles.
Using PS CS6 myself and have not seen any such issues with
color and 10.8.2.
