Why won't the header section of my Classic document print?

When I print a Classic document, printing begins at the bottom of the header section. The header section itself and any text therein is just ignored. (The header text is definitely within the page margins and the print margins, and the header dimension appears in the LaserWriter 8 Print dialogue box).
This is a great embarrasment if you are working with pre-printed stationery incorporating letterheads; to achieve the desired result you must add the header dimension to the letterhead dimension to find the insertion point setting for the first line of your document !!
Does anyone have a solution? The only clue that I can offer is that the printer is connected via a USB to parallel converter cable. (And there are no problems with OS X documents).

Hi, Roger. Every printer has a hardware-delimited maximum print area, and that area may in some cases be further restricted by the printer driver used. The position of that defined maximum-print-area rectangle on the page is also controlled by hardware or software or both. Any limitation that is imposed by your printer itself will, of course, not vary from OS X to OS 9 or Classic mode. But if your OS X driver and your OS 9 driver impose different print area restrictions, you'll see different results in Tiger and Classic. And if you're not using any OS 9 driver, as I suspect may be the case, then you may have to conclude that your old Classic apps (isn't WriteNow wonderful? I still use it too) just aren't as compatible as you might like with Classic printing in Tiger, or with your Gimp-Print driver, or with your parallel-to-USB adapter. There's an awful lot in the equation that was undreamed-of in 1994.
If there's no other driver option for you to try, then I strongly suggest buying a new, Mac-compatible printer to replace the old BJ-30, which was never meant to be used with a Mac in the first place.

  • How to create a link in the head section of BC template?

    Can anyone please explain so that even I can understand the reason why the following script does not work as I would expect?
    I am trying to append a line of html code to the <head> section of a Page Template.
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function loadScript() {
    if(window.location.href.indexOf("fish") > -1) {
    alert("the url contains the string fish");
    var csslink = document.createElement("link");
    csslink.setAttribute("rel", "canonical");
    csslink.setAttribute("type", "text/css");
    csslink.setAttribute("href", "http://www.xyz.com/fish/herring");
    document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(csslink);
    window.onload = loadScript();
    </script>
    Secondly if one cannot append to the <head> can one append to the <body> ?
    Any help appreciated.
    Kind regards

    Hello peterwulf,
    Looks like you're missing a } above the widow.onload. That should fix it.

  • After converting a page to xhtml 1.0 Transitional compliant, Dreamweaver indicates a syntax error warning in the head section

    I had authored a few pages in HTML4.0 using templates, and all was well.  I decided to convert them to xhtml 1.0 transitional. So I modified the tags to lower case and closed everything and it all validates.
    The problem is that in Dreamweaver, it is indicatinga syntac error and I can't figure out why.  The result of this is that the Template path substitution breaks, rendering the generated pages totaly munged.
    Here is the head section:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

    And here is the screen showing the error:
    Is this something simple that I have forgotton? Or is this a bug?

    This seems to have been fixed by changing the format of the JS line from

    to
    <script src="../common/checkflash.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript"></script>
    Still not sure if this is proper markup that DW is screwing up, or if it's improper markup and DW has identified it, although on the wrong line

  • How to get SYSDATE in the header section dynamically when we run the report

    I have one more issue may i know how can i get the sysdate in the header section when i run the report.
    as we have the requirement like this
    In the header section
    Run Date : ("sysdate").
    How to get the sysdate dynamically in the RTF template, when i go across the google i found that header and footer section did not allow form fiields .
    So is there any way to do it.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Have a Nice Day.

    You cannot insert form fields in the Header section, but you can just insert the code to achieve this. For example: insert this in the header section to view the sysdate: You could format the date as you would like..
    <?xdoxslt: sysdate(‘YYYY-MM-DD’)?>
    Since you are new to BI publisher, search the forum, review the Report Designer's guide for BI publisher. You will find that most of your basic questions are answered there and there are examples as well.

    I create a new index on column2, (INDEX_N3)

    This time INDEX_N3 will be used.
    but change SQL to

  • Can I place a html5 or flash video of a surfer in the header section?

    I have been asked to build a home page with a video of a surfer riding a wave at a fun surfing location. We think it would be cool for the web user to come to the home page and right away watch a surfer catching a wave and riding accross in the video in good size area of the header section of the home page. Not sure what technology is available to best do this...html5 or flash or even java any suggestions would be helpful.
    I have been browsing the web to see other similar examples and ideas to get a feel for the best way to approach this.

    Yeah I get it. You want a video banner. It doesn't really matter where you want your video placed on your page. The point is you want a video on your page, right? I think you're over-thinking it, dude. It doesn't matter to techies if the video is of a surfer at a popular surfer location. It could be a video of a surfer doing a bellyflop in a mud puddle for all it matters. That's irreclevant to the technical discussion. Try to boil your problem down to the basics here. I'm just wondering what your problem is. Are you having a problem embedding a video or what exactly? If you're having a problem embedding a video on your page then I suggest using YouTube as a cross browser solution. You can use the embed parameters to customize your YouTube video to do things such as autoplay, loop, custom size, hide YT controls, etc. Give it a try for a simple solution.

    Why won't the bought and downloaded films play?

    It won't let me download iOS 7.  When I check for software updates it says that it is up to date.  I also went to iTunes to delete the songs from the iPod, but now it isn't even recognizing any devices.  I even uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it to my computer.  LOL  I am sure it is something small, but I don't have the patience for it now.  Maybe I should step away from the computer and come back in a little bit...    Thank you for the advice though!  Keep it coming!  I know it is hard to diagnose over the internet, but any ideas help!

  • Can contributablelement be used to populate a META tag in the head section?

    We're currently using UCM 10gR4 with SSPU.
    We'd like to use a contribution element to allow contributors to add text that would populate the META tags (Keywords and Description) that reside in the HEAD section for a node.
    In most cases, there is a 1-1 relationship between nodes and Content Items (placeholders).
    I've already built a solution for this using Custom Section Properties, but the preference is to allow the contributor to review/update the meta values with another contributable element. Then, the text entered can be reviewed within workflow and the element is more prominent to the contributor.
    The next best solution would be to use a metadata field to update the meta tags.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in Advance,

    bingo!!!!
    Ryan, that was it! The measly little escape characters! Now it's working like a charm, which makes my day!
    Here's the recap of the fragment, if others find it useful.
    Intent: to allow contributors to enter content that would appear in the Meta tags for a particular page. This content will also go through workflow for the appropriate approval, as well as be more prominent for the contributor to actually enter the content!
    Here's the fragment code. "Content" as it appears in the code is the defined placeholder name. MetaKey and MetaDesc are elements added to the Region Definitions (as plain text). The conditionals at the end of the fragment handle the case if these areas are blank.
    Thanks to all for your responses!
