OS X :: Boarding Passes Printed To Unavailable Printer
Apr 2, 2009
I went to print my airline boarding passes and mistakenly printed to a printer that is not available now (home versus work). Airline site does not allow you to go back and reprint this particular boarding pass (I tried). The document is sitting on hold in the unavailable print que. Is there anyway to transfer the document from the print que to another printer that is currently available? Otherwise, I stuck standing in line at the airport at 5am.
I have a Macbookpro operating Mac OSX 10.6.4 and I use the Safari browser. I use Easyjet a lot and have had no problem printing/downloading boarding passes - until recently. The two last times I've traveled (within the past 2 weeks) I have been unable to print or download. My partner has no problem using her conventional laptop with the same booking reference.
I would like to install XP on my MBP (just got the disk in the mail), & according to the instructions on the screen, I need to print the instructions. It says to do the same thing in the "Missing Manual" for OS X Leopard. Here's the problem. All of the printers in the office have the old multi-pin connectors, & I don't have a printer cable that hooks up to the MBP (I'm in the middle of the desert working with the military). It takes at least 7 days for anything to get here from the states through the mail. Is it possible for someone to post those instructions here so I can cut & paste into a word document & print it that way?
On several sites i use it asks me to download the .pdf file from within an article. It will appear as it should on screen, but when trying to save it to the desktop or print it, a blank (white) screen appearts and neither is working.Same happens in Firefox.
When is Apple going to make it easy to print holiday card labels??
Anyone know of a way to add a Spouse's name to a printed address label form?
I have the Spouse names listed in fields, but there doesn't seem to be an option to add that to an address label.
Do you know of a simple program that could do this upon an export of cards from Address Book?
I know I could change everyone's first name to both "first & spouse" and then change it back after I print the labels. That's the solution I found from the Apple help pages.
I've been trying to automate scanning to my printer to create a virtual colour copier and came across some automator scripts (very simple). However, when I try to use the "Print Images" action it results in junk text printing instead of the image. I then took a step back and tried printing a JPG file directly by dragging and dropping onto a desktop printer icon and I get the same result. This is therefore not an automator issue. I also tried this on both an HP Photosmart P1100 and an HP Laserjet 4 Plus and get the same result on both. Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong? Running fully updated 10.6.2 and can print images just fine to either printer from applications such as Preview or iPhoto.
I would like to scan some documents of printed text with my HP Photosmart All-in-One, convert the image to a text file and then convert the text file to audio and load that into my iPhone so that I can listen to it while I'm doing other things. The question is, are there any apps that do all of this or some set of apps to do this.
When I attempt to print a pdf either a doc on the iMac or as a print option from an internet page, the preview displays a totally black page. PDF documents to be printed appear as a black screen, what setting do i need to alter?
I've got two 20.1" normal aspect monitors right now (Dell 2001FPs), both being driven by the GT120 in my Nehalem Mac Pro. I want to buy a third screen that I can put in portrait orientation to better display printed pages.
1) 24" widescreen aspect. 2) Ability to stand in a portrait orientation (tall, not wide) with the default stand. 3) Ideally a Dell model, since my other two screens are Dells (this would be nice, but is not essential). 4) Hopefully somewhat cheap (~$300).
I see plenty of 24" models on the Dell site, but it is not clear to me which ones can be mounted portrait on the provided stand. I don't care about the screen being able to pivot; I intend to mount it portrait and leave it there.
I am trying to print an 11.98x17.97 image on a 13x19 sheet. I specify .51" borders top and bottom, and .52" right and left.
Instead, I am getting a 7.5x10.75" printed image with L 1 1/8" + R 7 1/8" borders and T 1/8" + B 5 3/8" borders. In short, a smaller image, shoved up and left on the sheet. See screen shot below.
Same happened when I tried to print a 4x6 image on an 8.5x11 sheet, until I was told by Kirby to enter the sheet size as a standard 'letter size' sheet instead of entering a custom 8.5x11" size. Is this the same? If so, what's the 'standard' size for 13"x19"?
I am trying to figure out how to convert the serial number reported by system_profiler for the power adapter to the serial number that is printer on the charger when you remove the plug adapter.
It appears that both are unique numbers, but I can't seem to figure out how to convert from one to the other.
When I print a color picure from Preview, areas of medium color like an evening sky show bands about one inch wide. parallel to the print head movement direction. So one inch tall band will be lighter, the next darker. These are subtle differences, but ruin the print. I've contacted Epson who told me to try all the things I had already tried e.g. clean, calibrate, & align printer, new Epson brad ink, etc. They said if that didn't work it was the computer, or the cable, which I find unlikely. So I then tried printing from Gimp and Picasa, which did not have the problem, but also printed at the correcct size instead of expanding the image to fit the paper. This happens with both small images 320X231 as well as large ones 1600X1200
I read a comment in the community written in 2009 that said "After you choose File -> Print, under the "Orientation" section, about halfway down, is a drop-down menu. Choose "Preview" in there. After that, use the Scaling options to get it to print the size you want." I tried that but it doesn't change the size of the printed image. I also tried fiddling with the image size on the Tools menu but that didn't help. It seems like the only way to shrink the image on the paper is to change to a smaller paper size, which is a workaround.Are these bands being caused by the expansion of the image? It's being blown up about 60%.Background: Preview version 5.0.3, OS 10.6.8, printer connected directly via USB. Printer is Epson Workforce 633
I use my Mac for business for years, and until now, I've kept a Windows box to print out mailing labels.I finally got off my butt and got my contacts moved over into address book so I could just use one computer.However, when I went to print a test sheet of labels, I saw that there was no option to print the the Position of my contacts on the label...which I need to do for business.I'd prefer not having to put the "Position" into another field to get it to print, because I like to keep things organized.I'm not afraid of jumping into the Terminal if that's what it takes to get this feature added to my copy.I just need to be able to do it somehow.
In the safari preferences under the security tab I have Fraudulent sites checked. So that it warns when visiting a fraudulent website. But, underneath it has a yellow sign saying that the google safe browsing service is unavailable. No updates have occurred in 5 days. What does this mean and can I do anything that will help me fix this, so that I do get updates. Any help would be very appreciated. I am new to these macs.
I installed Lion on my work computer yesterday from a USB drive and I got the message that "Network accounts are unavailable". Today I updated to 10.7.3 hoping that might do the trick and still get the same message.how I should deal with this?
when I try to open a secure site used for work. Software is up to date. It's the 1st time it has happened and I accessed this site prior to having my hard drive replaced.
Two days ago when I woke up and open my MacBook Pro (OS Maverick), I started with a strange windows (than we can get with cmd+r). My hard drive was broken so I followed the proposed steps. I made a backup with TimeMachine. I lost a lot of data 'cause I wasn't able to go back on the Finder and save the things I need. So, I lost important things... Well, after Time Machine backup, I had few more troubles. Now, I can't use a lot of my software. I try to update everything, BUT my user profil isn't administrator anymore.
On my MacBook Pro I have set up a bunch of shares to mount upon login. They then are presented by icons on the desktop, all using server "afp://BMK-rnp (AFP)._afpovertco._tcp.local/SHARE NAME". The shares are hosted on my Infrant/NetGear ReadyNAS Pro, which uses the AFP protocol, and advertises the AFP service over Bonjour. However, when I have had the MBP sleeping for a few hours, not just a few minutes, and I open it back up, it has lost the connection to the shares. I get a message that the server is unavailable, and that the shares are disconnected. I can't do anything about it, except disconnect the shares in the pop-up, open up finder, and click on the "BMK-rnp (AFP)" icon under shared, and then reconnect to the shares. Is there a way, using std. OSX tools, to "re-connect" to the shares? I have tried a small utility - "Bounjour Mounter" - but I never got it working right.
Been trying to dl 10.6.4 combo for the past 3 days and getting max dl speeds of 40-60Kbs. All the usual suspects eliminated: cable modem, router, and traceroute to the server showed no significant lags. All other downloads normal. Sent an email to Apple yesterday, then tried the dl again today. Got this message: "Due to a scheduled upgrade of Apple's support systems, some features of the website are currently unavailable. We apologize for any inconvenience."
After I installed Java update 8, my Excel spreadsheets and some MS Word features became unavailable. Does anyone else have these problems? Should I uninstall the Java update?
My bluetooth is suddenly "unavailable" on my MBP. I cannot find any settings for it in system preferences and it just basically died. When I look it up on "about my Mac" is says it's "not found." Can no longer use my mouse, or connect my Bose wireless speaker (which I just purchased!).
Info: MacBook Pro (15-inch Late 2008), Mac OS X (10.6.8)
I recently wiped my mac and photo booth no longer works. The application comes up but the loading symbol just goes round and round for hours and nothing happens, even the little green light doesn't come on. At the top of the mac screen in photo booth>camera section it says 'no camera available' but when i open my FaceTime the light comes on and camera works. How can i fix my photo booth??
