Why will my Imac (1 yr old) only print the full document in half a page?

Why will my IMAC only print the full document in half a page? All updated IOS downloads.  My Laptop Mac does not do this, so I feel it is not the printer, but the actual computer.  The full document is printed, it is just half a page, other half is blank.  This is presenting a huge problem for school and also when I need to print a shipping label ( which I do often) for my business.  I have several printers and it performs the mistake on all of them.  Thank you!

Make sure the scale in the Print window is set to 100%

  • Printer will only print the first document then will do nothing.

    I am running a dell system with windows 7 pro 64 bit.
    I just got an HP LaserJet Pro 400 m401n printer.
    I downloaded the most current drivers for windows and updated the printer from the HP website.
    The printer will let me print the first document after the computer is restarted. Sometimes I can print a second document if I print it back to back with little to no time between printing the first document. If more than a few minutes passes and I try to
    print again the program im using to print enters a "not responding" state and goes into recovery mode. This happens with notepad, excel, word, or even printing directly from the internet.
    I can open the printer properties and see the document just sitting with "spooling" out beside it. I assumed it was a printer spooling problem and tried going to the Services.msc and checking the printer spooler. Ive started it and stopped it several
    times. Ive also gone into %WINDIR%\system32\spool\printers and deleted all files in this folder. This does not help. It still gets hung at spooling.
    Next I just went to printer property and turned the spooling off completely, by having it send the document directly to the printer. Again the exact same problem but instead of getting hung in "spooling" it now just hangs "printing".
    I have also gone to the printer properties on the ports tab to see if disabling the bidirectional support was enabled as per a google search result showing a potential solution. But im connecting the printer directly to the computer via a usb port so that
    option is not even available.
    The only thing that allows me to print again is doing a restart on my computer, then again I can only print the first document sent. Restarting the printer itself does nothing.

    Hi James,
    Did this printer work correctly before ?
    To verify whether it is related to the printer ,please plug it in another machine to have a check if it is possible.
    Considering it is a USB device ,plug in  with another port to have a check or try to update the USB controller driver or reinstall the USB controller driver to have a check.
    Please check whether the Event Viewer contains  errors or warnings related to this issue .
    I found a similar symptom in the HP forum ,the solution in it may be helpful:

  • Why does my Apple Mail insert old messages into the body of new emails?

    Why does my Apple Mail insert old messages into the body of new emails? The correct sender's name will appear in the "From" column, but an old message from a different sender in the body. This happens randomly. I have an iMac OSX 10.6.8. I recently had the hard drive cleaned, but Apple Mail seemed to be running fine when I set it up again. Could this be a virus? What should I do about it? Thanks for any insights!

    Thanks.  While you were replying to my question, I went into notifications and figured
    it out.  Appreciate the quick response!

  • Why will some website articles not print preview or print more than part of the document in firefox. I sometimes have to go to IE to be able to print the entire document.

    I often want to print an article from a website. Many times when I print preview, it will only show the first, second and maybe last page, but nothing inbetween. I have tried printing it anyway but nothing inbetween will print. My solution has been to go to Internet Explorer where I have then been able to print preview and print the entire article. This is annoying and takes extra time. Is there a setting that I need to make in order to eliminate the problem

    Top left (Orange) Firefox button, Print, Print Preview. Does everything look correct? You may also click the icon that looks like a "DISK" to save, which allows you to save it to your computer and CTRL+P will allow you to print.

    Did you installed ASK toolbar?
    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    <b> To Enable SafeMode </b>
    *You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    *''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

  • Why does my Laserjet 2055dn only print the first page of a print job?

    In our domain, we have a number of 2055dn printers that act up on intermittent bases.  At times, they function properly, but other times they will only print the first page of a print job.  Our domain has only HP printers so there should be no conflict with drivers.  My solution has been to delete the printer on the local machine and then to reinstall them after reboot.  That has helped at times.  In other cases, I have installed the printer only on the local machine and not the copy on my printer server.
    I have updated the print drivers, on the server and on the local machines.  I have changed drivers to PS, to PCL 5 and to PCL 6.
    This only seems to occur in one of my three buildings that house this model of printer.  I have even done firmware upgrades on the printers.
    I appreciate any help that I can get on this continuing problem.  Thanks much.

    Then use the latest solution!
    Which doesn't need specifying either.

  • Why is there not an option to only print form data in Adobe XI?

    I have created a form in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and saved it.  Then I want to open it in Adobe Reader, fill it in and then only print the form data but there is not an option to only print form data in Adobe Reader XI.  I'm not sure if it is in the way I created the form or something else.  Any help will greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    Basically you need to place the file's contents on a non-printing layer. Try this:
    Create a new blank file and open the Layers panel on the left.
    Click the Options button and select Import As Layer.
    Select your pre-existing PDF file (maybe save a copy of it without the form fields first and use that version).
    Right-click the layer you created and select Properties. Change the layer's Print option to "Never Prints".
    Now copy the fields from the other file and place them in their correct location on the page.
    Save the file and you have a file that can be used to print only the form fields data, even in Reader.
    This process can be automated, by the way, but that would require a script.

  • Will only print the first line or so to a HP Officejet Pro K550

    The Mac has been connected for a number of years to the printer, but suddenly it started to only print the top line or so of a text. The problem occurred later in the day having worked fine in the morning.
    The self test for the printer works fine, producing a full test sheet, including all colours (and there is no indication that ink is running low).
    It looks as if it is almost certainly a problem with the Mac itself, especially since the printer works with other, non-Mac - laptops.
