Hi,
I'm printing from Firefox onto A5 stationery
eMac OS 10.4.11
Firefox 3.0.6
Epson Stylus Photo R290
To keep my printouts to a minimum I'm previewing the pages, editing
to compress the file, then printing double-sided. All worked fine for
about six files, but suddenly preview only showed two pages when
Firefox displayed about six pages worth of text. I trashed prefs for
firefox and preview, reloaded the file, exited and restarted firefox
and preview, rebooted - nothing changed. If I tried to print a third
page it printed blank.
I went back and tested one of the files that had previously printed
correctly (10 pages). It now only allowed me to print one page. The
number of pages I can print from the files seems to be arbitrary -
some files showed all data, some only the first 1, 2...n pages. To
complicate matters, one file I tested appeared to show all pages on
preview, but after I printed them I found it had actually printed the
first three pages, then the last page, and omitted two pages in the
middle!
As part of determining what was wrong I used page setup to switch
back to A4 and did a print preview - all pages appeared correctly.
When I went to switch back to A5 it had completely disappeared from
the choices of stationery size.
I now have no preset A5 stationery size (from any application). To
get around this I've defined a custom A5 page size, but this gives
exactly the same problems with missing pages in preview and printing
from Firfox. The problem doesn't occur if I print from Word,
NeoOffice, etc or if I use another browser.
I can work around the problem but would prefer it didn't happen, and
I'd definitely like my preset A5 stationery back.
Any suggestions on how to get things back to normal would be appreciated.
Cheers, Kaye
