  All-in-one HP Psc 1350

  X.7.2 OS

  My utilities said printer sends the document to the printer, even shows % finished (no message offline or idle), but nothing comes out of the printer.

  Also impossible to install the software as "PowerPC is no longer supported.

  Thoughts?

  Hi the4kosmos,

  Indeed the software on the CD supplied with your printer, or also the software available on the HP download pages are not compatible with Mac OS 10.7 Lion. However, you can install the HP Printer Driver Update 2.8, which contains the drivers printing and scanning (via print & scan, preview or Capture of Image).

  You may already have? If not and you use a different print driver, I suggest that you simply remove the current printer queue. Make sure that your device is connected directly to the USB port on your Mac. Then add the printer and you should get a message that there is software available to install - accept, so installing the respective drivers. See this document for more details: OS X 10.7 Lion: install and use the printer with Lion

  If this message does not - maybe you're not connected to the internet - you can also download a full package of the HP Printer Driver Update 2.8: HP v.2.8 OS X printer drivers

  Information on how to scan without the HP software, you can find here: How to perform a scan in Mac OS X 10.6 and OS X 10.7 without use of the HP software

  On the question of printing, make sure that your device is connected directly to the Mac's USB port and the USB cable is not longer than 3meters. You can also try another USB port and USB cable to another if the problem persists.

  Hope the information is useful.

• My officejet 6500 e709n makes the sound of printing but nothing comes out on the page. thoughts?

  I replaced the ink cartridges, cleaned the print head, turned switch, unplugged for a reset and reinstalled on my computer (Mac OSX 10.5.8).

  Nothing seems to be a problem with the printer visually - not clear jams oddities in the internal mechanisms.  He just "pretended" to print.

  Some error messages I received early in the troubleshooting process has suggested that ink cartridges are not compatible with the device (they are) and a warning to use the power button before turning off the power.

  There are more messages on the screen - complete just the icons of ink.  Everything seems normal.

  Thanks for your time!

• HP7510: When you print photos they come out the right size.

  Today you have the printer and it works well with the output of good quality.  However if I try to print a MS Word document that contains a picture the photo comes out to about 120% of full size and overflows out of the page.  Any ideas?  I am an experienced user and have tried all the usual remedies.  OS is Windows 10 MS Word 2003 (yes I know it's old :-))

  @Bernard_S

  Odd.

  Rats.

  Office Word 2003 is no longer supported.  File Windows 10 libraries system files and the links that connect dependencies (programs needed by desktop software and printer) changed - 'something' may be missing or damaged.

  Regardless of the new file system Windows 10 and how he 'sees' a Word 2003 document, the question could be attributed to the program from the printer itself - a tiny missing statement which translates not correctly size the image, position, limits.

  One or more of the following could reverberate - results, of course, depend on the cause of the problem (still unknown).  If one of the changes to trigger a file change internal - or how the document and the image are translated by the printing software - while change can help solve the problem.

  Ideas - I hope that these apply to your Word Vintage:

  • If you have not done so, check the spacing of lines on each side of the image - Dragon document mention this (if I remember) provides an example.
  • Copy the image to a new name .jpg file > open the image in Paint (paint real, not 'fresh') > set up as if you are going to print and check the size, boundaries, the parameters.  Why use Paint instead of Picasso?  The painting is Windows.  Picasso is not.  If you want, print the image (although I doubt it will be necessary).  Place (insert) of the 'new' file in your document in place of the original image.
  • Try to temporarily remove the image > save close the document > open and insert the image in place.  If the image is small enough (fits left margins / right), left click on the image and use the arrows "decrease / increase indent ' to drag the image a little to one side or the other.
  • Turn on all the markings of the document - search for oddities.  Anchors in images could provide a clue about why the image is printing 'off limits '.
  • The value of the tight margins - print any of the pages on which is located the wandering image.
  • Copy the contents of the document in a WordPad document > save content > print a page that provides one of the problem images.  Check the result.
  • If you use fonts "bizarre" and maybe even if you don't do so, be sure that embed you the fonts in the document.
  • Setting word for Printing Options:

  Control Panel > display icon > devices and printers >

  Right-click Printer > Printing Preferences > tab Layout > advanced >

  On the printer side tab > preserve the page layout (select) Yes > OK

  • If all else fails, the document to a PDF output and printing that - or print the PDF file as an image.

  I've probably missed something - if I have 'find', I'll post back.

• 5210 kodak printer, when I print the document runs through the printer, but nothing prints, suggestions. worked fine until today after a move

  Check with Kodak support or website to see if there's a test or a diagnostic process that you can run to identify the problem with the printer.  It is not likely to be a problem of Windows at this point.

• printer has ink and looks like it is printing, but nothing is on paper

  I am trying to print on my printer HP photosmart Premium. She "acts" like printing but nothing is on the page. The ink cartridges are filled.

  You specify the model of your printer, but this issue seems to be pretty common with several models of the HP Photosmart Premium.  I saw no definitive answer.

  The printer ejects white of paper when printing sheets - a list of 10 "solutions" of HP who seem less and less relevant and more desperate towards the end of the list

  General HP Print troubleshooting suggestions.  Note that if you have not used the printer for a long time, it is possible that the print head is blocked.  Run the cleaning steps proposed could help - but they use a lot of ink.

  If the print head is really in bad shape, it might have to be replaced.  I wouldn't do it until everything else has failed.

  Normally, when you open the page palette in InDesign, it is divided into two. The upper part is where is the master page (and a page named none), while the lower part is where are the actual pages of documents. Unfortunately when I opened my palette (InDesign CS 6 on a Mac), there is no upper and lower part of the page-only the lower part is displayed. When I put my cursor on my pages, it tells me that I "Applied A-master".

  Why not my top shows (A-master and none)? The pages that I don't "Act" like master pages - for example, I can't get past page numbering.

  
  

  Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

  It looks like the upper part may be in a State reduced - the line was pulled up.

  Just of the cursor on the line that separates the upper and lower sections, and drag it to the bottom.
