Why can I not print from text editor?

I am new to the mac & was trying to do up a text document. I went to text editor thinking that would work. I did it up all nice & can not print it. I just goes all funny. I know it is not my printer; can print other things fine. Can you please help?

If preview looks fine, that does suggest - though it doesn't prove, I don't think - the printer might be mucking things up. Do you have the latest Epson drivers?

Others here might have better advice.

Why can I not print from pages but can if I copy to text edit, I get "printer off line message " from pages ?

Why can I not print from pages but can if I copy to text edit, I get "printer off line message " from pages ? I use HP wireless printer .

Are you sure you have the right printer?
In UNIX/OSX printers are virtual links to devices and even with the same name can be trying to reach a printer via another network address, so it thinks it is another printer.

Why can i not print from my ipad i do not have a wireless network

How do i get my ipad 2 to print to Hp 6500A without wireless network

Hi,
In order to print from an iPad 2 to the HP Officejet 6500A (E710a), a wireless router is required.
While the printer only support ethernet network connection the iPad support wireless connection only, therefore you will need to use a router in order to bridge among the different connection types.

Why can I not print from my iPhone4

I have tried to print Numbers and Pages that I have worked upon direct from my iPhone 4 but when I try to select a printer of which is a HP wireless printer that I print everything else from I receive a notice (No AirPrint Printers Found)

If your HP is *NOT* already supported, and sounds like it may not be.
This application can turn any standard installed printer on your Mac/Windows PC into an AirPrint compatible.

Why can I not print a PDF from an email?

Why can I not print a PDF from an email any longer?

Can you explain in better detail?
Is it when you open the file attachment and attempt to Print?
Is it right-mouse clicking and attempting to Print?
Is it when you print the email itself and expect the attachment to Print?

Why can I not print to my HP CM1415fnw from my Mac, but I can from my PC?

Why can't I print from my Mac 10.6.8 to my newly purchased HP CM1415fnw (supposedly air print enabled) but I can print to it from my PC? I thought mac's we're supposed to be easier and this printer is not discoverable wirelessly on my mac or iPad/iPhone/Ipod, but it is from my PC? I can only print from the mac/iPad/iPhone/iPod to this printer IF the wired cable is installed. Seems like HP has the problem, but the mac can't even pull up the printer's web page unless there is a wired ethernet connection. Yes, it is working just fine wirelessly with my PC's on the network.

Go to the Apple contact page and the first section should say something like "To purchase by phone, please call..."
Call this number and order a Snow Leopard DVD.

replace the ?? with your country's address code, e.g. http://www.apple.com/uk/contact/
or if you are from America it's simply http://www.apple.com/contact/

Why can I not print anything from a web page?

Why can I not print anything from a web page?

Thank you, but I still haven't solved my problem. I tried the reset suggestion. But I cannot find print.print_printer preference. Maybe the word "printer" is to be replaced with the name of my printer. But because of the warning that making any changes is a very dangerous thing to do, I hesitated to do anything.
I have located the Print to file option, but it is not checked.
This problem did not exist before the Firefox update of about 6 months ago. Today I downloaded the latest Firefox update, hoping that would solve my problem, but it did not.
Thank you for your continued assistance.

HT4356 Why can I not print attachments from gmail on my ipad mini, it will print photos and anything from safari

Why can I not print attachments from gmail on my ipad mini, it will print photos or anything from safari?

For Gmail attachments, if they are PDF files (as well as many other formats) when you are viewing them on the iPad in Safari there is an option to "Open in iBooks" just below the tab you have open (at the top of the page).
From iBooks you can print them to a wireless printer easily.
Hope this helps.

HI,
It should be able to use these devices together, how exactly are you trying to print? using airprint or one off the HP apps? And is your printer connected in a network? And is this the same network as the ipad?

Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get? Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

Apple is great!
Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get? Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).
I compose an iMessage with the destination as my email address and I attach 2 photos I want on my PC. I send them several times from my iPhone 5C but they never arrive. I look at my ipad later and realize that it's iMessage app is getting ( and swallowing) these emails. I then turn the ipad off. Still can't get the photos through because iphone is now getting them on it's iMessage. I turn off the iMessage feature and try to send photos from text msging. Phone tells me it can't send photos unless iMessage it turned on. What happened to regular MMS text messaging? I go and try to send photos as an email attachment and see that there is no option to attach from the stupid email program. I look up online to learn about the brave new world of apple attachments and send them.
Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?
The email program on my iphone is not configured to remove messages from the server.
If iMessage is turned off I don't have the issue.

Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.

Why can't I print from my ipad?

I've had my iPad for almost a year now and I like it a lot. It looks very good, it performs very well even though I'm far from reaching my goal of only taking my ipad to school, nothing else.
One important reason why this won't be the case for quite a while still is that I can't print from the iPad.
Let me explain. I make quite a number of worksheets. Being a teacher this is one of the things you do so that the students have something to write on and do exercises. Over the years there have been many of these and my initial thought was to put them all on the iPad and print them when needed. But imagine my surprise when I found out that printing from an iPad seems to be near impossible.
Other colleagues of mine got themselves cheap EEPCs and they work fine. They can access the local printer easily printing whatever they wish. But I can't do that! Unless my school buys a new Air-thingy printer from HP I just won't print there! And that just *****.
I've bought a sleek and expensive machine that is so sophisticated - that I can't use it the way I want to. And that isn't even ******** about the file system that seems to be equally messed up.
My question is, why can't I print from the iPad? Printing had been announced many times before the launch of iOS 4 and then, all of a sudden, nothing more. How can this be? Why do I have to buy additional software - which is not really cheap and far from certain to work at all - just to be able to print a few pages?
Please help me understand this, as I see it, major flaw of the iPad and iOS 5.

Thanks guys,
I seem to have understood by now.
To sum it up:
- I can print with the iPad directly if the printer is Airprint compatible.
- I can print via a number of more or less working apps.
I've downloaded some HP software for my iPad and even seem to be able to access it from some other apps, that is except Apples Pages app. Sigh! So whenever I have to make changes in my documents, I still can't print.
GoodReader on the other hand lets me send my documents to the HP app, but the app/HP won't let me print microsoft docs unless I register and send my documents over to HP where the printing prep is being made, then they send it back to me/my printer. Anyway GoodReader blows my layout apart, so I must change it on the iPad, but when I do …
It's a big catch.
You must realize that printing really isn't that comfortable and that as a spoiled old Mac user I might be excused for wishing something more workable.
The truth seems to be that I've got to carry all those docs on a USB-stick, move them over to the Windows-machine at our school and print from there - which is what I do on a daily basis already.
All those workarounds that may or may not work (check out user comments on those printing apps!) are so annoying that my overall question remains pretty much the same.
But I could also rephrase the question: Why can't I print from the so-called best tablet office app even if I am equipped with all the apps I apparently need?
Please understand that this is not Apple-bashing in any way. This is a real problem for me in my everyday life. I won't be persuading my school to buy AirPrint printers just because of my little problem and I honestly don't want to spend more money on printing apps that seem never to even have gone through beta testing.
Still, thanks for you efforts. I guess I'll just have to wait for Microsoft Office for iPad to get that big problem solved.

Why can't I print from Illustrator a non-faded print. It always prints as if I wanted a proof or something.

YOu have not provided any system info, version info or details about your printer. This is not going anywhere beyond stating the obvious - your system is not color managed.

Why can't I print from my iPad using airport express

Why can't I print from my iPad using airport express?

Is the printer connected to the USB port on the AirPort Express?
If yes, Apple does not support printing from the iPad in this manner. Try another App like Printopia which should allow the iPad to print. There is a free trial, so you will know in a few minutes whether this will work.
Printopia - AirPrint to Any Printer - Print from iPad - Print from iPhone ...
Is the printer connected to the AirPort Express using wireless only?
If yes, you must have an AirPrint compatible printer to be able to print directly from the iPad. See if your model is AirPrint compatible in this Apple document:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
If your printer model appears, the printer may need a firmware update to enable the AirPrint feature. Contact the support folks at your printer manufacturer.
If the printer does not appear, try Printopia as above.
