Why does my printer only use 25% of the page and shrink to fit?

when i print certain things it only uses 25% of the page. It is so small i can't read it. If i go to print preview and modify the size, it puts it on multiple pages. I can't figure out how to change any settings.

Firefox extracts the paper size information from your Windows printer settings, so that's the first thing to check. In the print dialog, if you click the Properties button and review the dialog for your printer, do you have a small paper size selected and can you update it?
If Windows is correct and Firefox is mistaken, you can reset the stored paper size using the about:config preferences editor.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box that appears above the list, type or paste '''paper''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Look for your printer's paper-related settings and then right-click and choose Reset for each (e.g., size, height, width, etc.).
If you return to your document and try Print Preview, does Firefox compute the correct size?

  • Why does my printe say "used supply in use" 1217nfw

    Why does my printe say "used supply in use" model m1217nfw

    Hello,
    The "Used Supply in Use" means that the printer believes the toner cartridges installed in the printer have been previously used in another printer.
    Have you recently changed the toner cartridge on this printer? Are you having issues printing?
    Remember if you find any of my post helpful or want to say thanks make sure to click the white star under my name to give me Kudos.
    I really appreciate it!
    You should be able to still print without problems even though the message comes up.

  • Why does my printe say "used supply in use/:

    why does my printer say used supply in use?  And I can't print anything

    Pretty sure its to make sure you don't get good use out of your cartridges... basically this company trying to get 10 cents a print out of you
    After 1100 prints, regardless of how much ink used, if you take it out (the genuine 85a) at this point and put it back in, say after a jam or you want to shake it, it tells you have a used cartridge, i have tested continually using this, and got 500 more prints, with an annoying nag that you cant stop from every page printed. you have to take it out because this printer is notorious for a section ink don't get too, even though there probably is over 50% of ink left in it.. you take it out and shake it and can print, hundreds and hundreds of more pages... but after the 1100 point mark, since the printer tracks statistics it goes into this "used mode" so averages of prints won't go up... im pretty sure its devious code... but what do i know.. i just wont be getting new HP printers.. they claim it can cause damage.... the heads are on the toner cartridge... if its damaged the cartridge is replaced and thats that... so their warnigs are smoke and mirrors..

  • How can I print just a part of the page and not the full page with Adobe Reader v 10.1.2?

    how can I print just a part of the page and not the full page with Adobe Reader v 10.1.2? I need to print a engineering print with lot of information but information is too small in letter size and I don't have a plotter.

    Two ways to print a portion of a page: zooming or using the Snapshot Tool.
    ZOOMING:
    Zoom into the area you want to print.
    Click the Print icon.
    Under "Pages to Print", make sure "Current view" is selected under "More options" (you may need to click "More options" to open it).
    If you aren't satisfied with the preview, try clicking "Fit" under the Size button.
    SNAPSHOT
    Choose Edit > Take A Snapshot.
    Drag a rectangle around the area you want to print. 
    Click the Print icon.
    Under "Pages to Print", make sure that "Selected Graphic" is selected under "More options".
    To enlarge the snapshot to fit the sheet of paper, choose "Fit" under the Size button.
    Hope this helps!

  • Why does my macbook only turn on when the power adapter is plugged in?

    The battery life says its at 73% and climbing but whenever I unplug my power adapter the mac automatically shuts down and if I try to turn on the macbook without my power adapter plugged in, it wont turn on. How do I make it go back to where I can turn the mac on without it being plugged in? Thank you for your help!

    I would try two things the first being resetting the System Management Controller:
    1) If the computer is on, turn it off.
    2) Disconnect the AC Adapter and remove the computer's battery.
    3) Press and hold down the power button for 5 seconds and then release the button.
    4) Reconnect the battery and AC Adapter.
    5) Press the Power button to restart the computer.
    If that doesn't work I would recalibrate the battery.
    To calibrate the battery:
    1) Plug in the MagSafe power adapter and fully charge the MacBook or MacBook Pro battery until the light on the MagSafe connector changes to green and the Battery icon in the menu bar indicates that the battery is fully charged.
    2) Allow the battery to rest in the fully charged state for two hours or longer. You may use your computer during this time as long as the power adapter is plugged in.
    3) Disconnect the power adapter with the computer on and start using it with battery power. When the battery's charge gets low, you’ll see the low battery warning dialog on the screen.
    4) Continue to keep your computer turned on until it goes to sleep. Save your work and close all applications when the battery's charge gets low and before the computer goes to sleep.
    5) Turn off the computer or allow it to sleep for five hours or longer.
    6) Reconnect the power adapter and leave it connected until the battery is fully charged. You may use your computer during this time.

  • Why does sync fotos only work from computer to iPad , and not truly sync both ways??

    One way synching !!

    Because that's the way that Apple designed it to work. You can import photos from your iPad to your computer by using the cable that is provided with the iPad and by following the instructions here.
    iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    You can use a third party WiFi app like this one. I use this one myself.

    You can can also use Dropbox and other cloud syncing services.

  • HP L7590 Printer only scans portions of the page

    I have an HP Office Jet Pro L7590 Printer.  Just today, the scanning feature starting acting up.  When it scans it only scans a portion of the page.  It goes through all the motions as though it is scanning everything.  I also need to send a FAX.  Two questions:  1) Any idea as to what may be going on?  (I have powered it and the computer down, unplugged, and powered it up already.); 2) would this interfere with the FAX (i.e. are my FAX recipients getting a partial page too?)

  • After clicking on a link, why does it take so long to find the site - and sometime not find it at all?

    This seemed to begin right after Firefox update several wks ago. It sometimes takes up to 2 min to find a site after I click on link (whether in an email or on another site). This has been happening at least 90% of the time since then. There have been a few times when it did NOT happen; those seemed to be earlier in the day (mid-morning on W Coast) and possibly for a couple of days after Firefox did another update a few wks after the previous one. Sometimes it does not find the site at all and I get the "Oops! Sorry" msg.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Recentley printing most documents in firefox print on 1/4 of the page and not the complte document. When I print the same thing in safari it prints fine. Please advise how I can get proper printing in firefox

    When using Firefox to print most documents ( boarding passes, mastercard statements,genealogy documents) the printing only shows on 1/4 of the page, is in the lower left quarter and does not print part of the right side of the information. When I go into Safari and print the same documents within 2 minutes they always print fine. We like Firefox and would prefer to continue to use but if we can't print we will have to use Safari more often

    I have the same problem with cutting of the page since installing the new version. If you manually zoom out the print it only shows 1/4 of the page on a whole page of paper. Something is wrong here.
    I have done all these steps and it still does NOT print correctly!
    I am a IT professional and something is not right with the new firefox browser. Please supply with fix or we will have to permanently switch back to Internet Explorer, which works perfectly.

  • Why does my macbook only show 30% of the hd space?

    My macbook seems out of space, of 232,5 GB only 2,37GB are available, but from leggible data I only have 84,5 GB on my hd,
    what is the rest of the memory full with?
    interesting is also that my macbook is called name-macbook-7 - this is my first and only macbook!
    and in the section 'About This Mac' / More Info...   it says name's MacBook (4), where does this come from?

    Hello Dustin,
    In Finder's Menu, select Go menu>Go to Folder, and go to "/volumes". (no quotes)
    Volumes is where an alias to your hard drive ("/" at boot) is placed at startup, and where all the "mount points" for auxiliary drives are created for you to access them. This folder is normally hidden from view.
    Drives with an extra 1 on the end have a side-effect of mounting a drive with the same name as the system already think exists. Try trashing the duplicates with a 1 or 2 if there are no real files in them, and reboot.
    If it does contain data...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2474
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages going by?
    How much free space is on the HD, where has all the space gone?
    OmniDiskSweeper is likely the easiest/best, and is now free...

  • I recently created a new iPhoto library, why does it now show 2 iPhoto libraries the same and 1 being my new one when I hold option and open iPhoto at the same time?

    I recently created a new iphoto library. It seems now that when I hold down the option key and open iphoto  I now have 2 iphoto libraries (both the same library) as well as my new library which is now my default as I intended but why would I now have 2 listed the same in this box? When I go to finder>pictures there is only the 2!! I hope I am making sense!

    Try the following to see if you can get rid of the ghost:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
