I want to print a graphic image from Firefox to a file for modification using Paint Shop Pro. Normally the grapic would be printed directly to my HP Laserjet 5P. I can print to file, but don't understand the format or how to access it. After modification, I want to print it on the HP.
View 5 RepliesI have Vista Ultimate.
I don't have a printer, but there are some documents that i want to save.
The only option in a web page to make copy of them is to print them.
How can i configure my vista to print what ever "to file" instead to printer?
Vista Ultimate - 64 bit. In one of my folders, I have an extensive sub- folder tree which I'd like to print out as a Word file. Here's what I've done:
1. I click Start | Programs | Accessories | Command Prompt
2. Using the CD command, I get to the head folder of the desire sub-folder tree
3. If I then run the command "Tree", the sub-folder tree scrolls by quickly in the desired format - i.e., like a genealogy chart, with lines connecting the various levels.
But if I try to pipe the output to a text or Word file using the command tree>tree.txt or tree>.tree.doc, I get the tree. But the nice lines linking the various levels are replaced by a sequence of bogus characters. The maddening thing is that I was earlier able to get the nice chart into a Word document. But I neglected to record the steps, and can't reproduce them.
Have checked the posts regarding this subject and googled it extensively but could not find any definitive answers. As I stated in some other post I got MS Office 97 Pro installed just fine and everything's working with no major problems; don't even have to use any compatability mode on Access, Excel and Binder (Powerpoint, Outlook are not installed) but must use WIN2000 compatability mode for Word or I can't use the Tools/Envelopes and Labels feature (popup-something about incorrect parameter). The problem I have is with printing in Word.
I can print just fine from the print icon on the toolbar in both regular view or print preview but when I try to use Print from within the File menu I get an error message like the one shown below. All other printing from any of those mentioned programs works just fine. I've been at this for some time now; uninstalled through Vista and MS Office Add/Remove and by also removing any readily identifiable instances of MS Office, reinstalled as an Administrator and not, in addition to using different compatability modes and the Print "problem" in Word persists.
I try to delete a print job file from printer spool opening the printer icon besides the system clock, spool driver says "deleting" but never really delete! Normally I need to reboot to really eliminate the file from the list and print a new file. Sometimes this doest work and the printer, after reboot, try to print that file. There are another way to eliminate a file from the list IMMEDIATLY? Maybe deleting the temp file or something like that. (Windows Vista Home Premium)
View 8 Replies View RelatedWhen I try to print a web site image to an Adobe PDF file, Vista states that for security purposes the pdf file will be placed in a "virtual" temporary internet file folder, then opens the virtual folder on C drive, but then doesn't save the file in the folder. I've been able to work around the problem by disabling all user account control security, but there has to be an easier way. I'd like to save files without security forcing them to a
specific folder.
This is regarding a desktop using Vista Home Premium and a laptop using Vista Home Premium. A shared printer is attached to the desktop. I've spent more than a few hours of researching on the internet, including the technet information for Vista file/print sharing. I have enabled file and print sharing without using a password on a private network. I have Xp machines on my home network. I am able to access them with no issues.
My issue is that when I access my Vista Home Premium desktop from the Vista Home Premium laptop (or vice versa), I have to enter a username. Any letter of the alphabet works, a password is not required. My desktop is a dual boot system. The other OS is XP Home. It does not require a username for file/print sharing................
In my 64-bit installation, the print spooler server suddenly stopped running (and will not restart). I've tried cleaning out registry keys (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlPrint), deleting the files out of Windows (C:WindowsSystem32spool) to no avail. The system log contains many of these:Error Service Control Manager Eventlog Provider7034None The application log contains these:WarningSpoolerSpoolss1035NoneThe print spooler failed to load print provider localspl.dll. This can occur because of system instability or a lack of system resources.ErrorSpoolerSpoolss1027None The system failed to initialize the local print provider: Error 0. This can occur because of system instability or a lack of system resources.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a small LAN with a Vista desktop (called Osiris) and a few XP laptops (one of which is called Snowdancer. Last week I did a "clean" install of Vista on Osiris. Before this clean install I had two way communications between Snowdancer and Osiris. I use Windows Explorer to move files between the two. After the clean install Osiris could still manipulate files on Snowdancer, but the reverse is not happening. BTW, print sharing works and so does "Public Folders." From this I conclude that I do not have a connection issue, right? I do not have a Domain.
My C: drive is "Shared." I log into Snowdancer with my full name Robert Schuldenfrei and a password. I log into Osiris with my nickname Bob and no password. I am an administrator on both systems. I have searched through this NG for similar problems and there are lots of posts. I have come up short with every repair I have looked into, so I must be missing something. Remember, before my clean install I had this working just fine.
running vista 64 SP1 RTM cannot print from IE nor print preview unless I turn UAC off in control panel. Cannot print even if opening IE as admin. (some sort of error message about C:/users/username/appdata/local/temp/low/ and some files therein.) Note, on a different machine with vista 32 SP1 beta2 refresh (never got around to installing SP1 RTM on this box) - UAC enabled and no print problem at all

View 4 Replies View RelatedAfter trying at least a dozen suggestions without success, I followed this procedure to be able to print on a locally attached printer on a network PC with Win/XP home from another PC on the network that is running Vista Home Premium 64-bit ......
1. Open the Printers folder on the client computer from which you want to print, right-click a blank part of the window, click Run as administrator, click Add Printer.
2. In the Add Printer wizard, click Add a local printer.
3. On the Choose a printer port page, click Create a new port, select Local Port, and then click Next.
4. In the Port Name dialog box, type the network path to the printer to which you want to print. For example \server1printer1 (where server1 is the computer name of the print server and printer1 is the share name for the printer). Then click OK.
Note: Creating a local port instructs the client computer to use its own printer driver to render the printer as a RAW print job and send it directly to the port (which in this case goes to the print server). This obviates the need for the print server to provide feedback to the client, which can work around some authentication issues, as well as issues with mismatched driver versions on the print server and the client computer.
I have a few pcs networked together. All are running XP x86(using windows firewall) and have a different printer installed on each. I recently added a Vista x64 pc to the mix, it has no printer connect directly to it, and it can access all the other pcs from it(file sharing is good, same workgroup). My problems is that I cannot print from the Vista x64 system to any of the other Xp x86 systems. I have tried installing the 64 bit and 32 bit drivers on the Vista machine - Add printer - Add a network, wireless or bluetooth printer
-(I can see all the printers on the network) I select any and get this error message: The server for the 'HP Deskjet 1280' does not have the proper driver installed. If you want to search for the proper driver, click OK. Otherwise, click cancel cancel and contact your network administrator or original equipment manufacturer for the correct printer driver. - OK - i select the 64 bit drivers and receive this error message: Windows cannot locate a suitable windows driver. Contact your administrator for help locating and installing a suitable driver - when i try the x86 bit driver i get this message : Printer driver setup. Operation could not be completed(error 0x800f0214).
After trying for several months and not being able to print and haveing numerous other errors I am ready to go back to XP. I purchased this laptop new and it came with Vista Home Basic. I am tired of finding new compatibility issues every week and I still can't print properly. Is it possible to downgrade to XP without re-formatting so I don't have to reload everything? I have a licensed XP upgrade cd will it work?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've tried everything I know of to get my Brother intellifax 4100 (USB) to print. It shows up as a printer icon and even says it's the default printer. But when I try and print nothing happens. No document even shows up in the print cue. At first it self-installed (but still wouldn't work) then I installed it on the virtual usb printer port. Don't really know what I'm doing in that area. In any case, it says it's properly installed but it acts like it's not even there. Everything was fine on the XP system - sorry we switched.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a XP desktop and a Vista laptop. I have the network configured and I can see the shared folders and printers on the XP desktop from the Vista laptop. I can access the shared folders and printer. I can send a print job to the printer from the laptop and I can see it in the print que but the job will not print it just sits there. I cant print a test page or any other document. I let Vista install the print drivers for the printer, a Lexmark 1270.
View 5 Replies View RelatedWhat happened in this case is I installed the printer just like any other network printer, but it doesn't print. I see the job in the queue, it spools, prints and then the queue is blank but nothing comes out of the printer. And there are no errors. I have verified from the XP machine the printer does work. I found another article in Microsoft's TechNet Forums.
It says to add a NEW local printer and use UNC naming to add the printer to the intranet. I have done this before at work with no problem. Vista is suppose to have these drivers built in, but when we tell it to add the printer after filling out the path to the printer \computernameprinter (using the shared name) it asks for the location of the driver. I do not know where to look for this and when I go to HP's www site I can not download the driver as it says it's built into the Vista operating system and doesn't offer it for download.
Where would I point the wizard to for the driver? I looked in the windowssystem32driversen_US folder, but couldn't tell if I was in the right place. I guess I could just keep putting folders in until I found the right one
I added HP printer using open as admintrator command through the control panel and I can see the printer on MS word control center, however it does not print at all. I tried printing via pdf and still it does not print. It seems that vista 64 is not seeing the printer.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am running vista Business and am unable to print from any web page using IE7. The problem does not exist in Firefox or with any other application - Office 2007, Acrobat, etc. I am told that turning off 'protected mode' would solve the problem. Is there any fix that is a little less dangerous and time consuming? I have uninstalled and reinstalled printer [wireless] with fresh drivers. Printer is physically connected to a XP Home machine but attaching it to one of the Vista computers makes no difference.

I can print from the Word and Powerpoint applications in the Office 2007 package, but not from Excel. It looks like it prints (i.e. a small window opens and it says it is printing) but nothing comes out of the printer. I have 2 other PCs with the same setup (except the one PC is on XP), all print from all three Office applications, so it must be something with this particular PC (a laptop).

Every time I tried I would get an error 1303 message. I deleted it, then went into control panel to change the administrator UAC settings, but haven't tried to download and install it agan as I am now afraid it's a compatibility problem with vista that's causing the problem. I can't find any downloads for vista that will enable me to print a playlist in Windows Media Player.
