Page won't print
Could someone do me a favor. I have windows Vista but it's a lot like win7. Also, a wireless Epson Workforce 645. I can't get this page to print. It goes to the queue but says Error - Printing. Start here, http://games.washingtonpost.com/game...ily-crossword/ Click Play Now and end up he http://games.washingtonpost.com/games/daily-crossword/ You have to let the video play for at least 12 seconds. Please select the 19th or 18th, yesterday or the day before. I've tried both, more than once. CLICK PLAY CLICK PLAY again to get past the instructions. Then click the printer ICON to the left of MENU, and choose the left entry BLANK PUZZLE, and click on that. Then click Okay, to finish printing. Did it print? I have an Epson Workforce 645, connected wirelessly, and this is the first time in 3 years I've had any problem printing. Following all this, I just printed a .jpg file with no problem. But for this one I get "error - printing". No more help, afaict. Maybe you can help? Also sometimes the file is 1.06M and sometimes 530K, but neither will print. I was going to do the puzzle on the screen, but it's not so easy. I have to click on each square I want to fill in, and have to use cntl-M to type an M. |

Ross Pharmaceutical companies claim their drug prices are so high because they have to recover the costs of developing those drugs. Two questions: 1. Why is the U.S. paying the entire cost of development while prices for the same drugs in other nations are much lower? 2. Manufacturers of generic drugs did not have those development costs. Why are they charging so much for generics? |

It worked perfectly for me using print to pdf and print to black and white Brother. Maybe it was just a temporary problem. Can you print to pdf? |
Page won't print, something to do with Epson, I think

However, I successfully "printed" from SeaMonkey to a PDF file via doPDF. Thank you David, Rene, Wolf. For details about your systems and letting me know it's not an unprintable page. I should have thought of printing to a file, darn, but I just tried that and it didnt' work either! I went looking for the manual and couldn't remember what I did when I moved from XP to Vista. I don't remember reinstalling the printer, but I must have done so. I looked again in Printers, and I have 5 items. 1 and 2) a couple FAX things**; 3) MS XPS Document Writer, whatever that is; 4) Epson309E4 (Workforce 645), the default; and 5) Workforce 645 (Network). The last time I looked at that I blankly stared and wondered why both of the last two were there, not just one, but then I ignored it. This time I tried printing to the last one, and it worked fine!! But I checked now and it didn't change the default, or what Firefox picks first. Or what any of the other programs I use pick first, of course. So that means I've printed other things with option 4, the default. So why are there two of them, and why didn't option 4 work this time? **And why are there two FAX options for the same fax/printer, 1) Fax and 2) Epson Workforce 645 Series - Network Fax. Hmm. The first one, Fax, doesn't say a word about Epson. I think it came with Windows. That's probably what I thought when I saw two items for the printer, that one came with Windows, probably ignored the Workforce in the name of one. (I've only sent one series of faxes in the 3 years I've had it, and the source was paper, not the computer, but it was a medical thing and I was very glad to send it that night and not have to wait and go to a store the next day.) I usually buy the paper and do the crossword in it, but Friday and Saturday, there was no xword. I only googled to see if there was a story about them cancelling the xword, but instead I found they had it online. For the record, this is not a very hard one (for someone who's been doing xwords off and on, on for a total of maybe 4 years) and I can usually do all but 2 or 3 boxes in an hour or less. Sometimes I have to let it sit overnight, or over 2 nights. There are harder ones online for those who want. Thanks again. |

For Friday and Saturday, and today for Sunday. Can you print to pdf? Nope. But see my other post which was supposed to be addressed to you too. It's a shame there is no error number with a list of errors and what they mean. But otoh, setup was easy and this is the first problem in 3 years. |

Print to pdf is a good way to rule out it being a problem with the web page. I use PdfCreator. That way I can save the page and print at another time. Great for when there is no paper printer available. As usual, watch that it does not install google tool bars and such: http://www.pdfforge.org/pdfcreator |

I did not see a pdf printer listed in the other ng post. Print to pdf is a good way to rule out it being a problem with the web page. This all-in-one has scan to pdf (although I don't think I've gotten it to work. (I don't scan much either), and it had print to file. I coudln't figure out what extension to give to the file name, pdf, txt! Another reason I looked for the manual. Aha, the 330-page manual doesn't mention printing to a file, though it's an option. Googling found nothing also (Don't anyone look. It's not that important.) Oh, well. I have another printer I'm going to install when I have a chance. Maybe it will do that easily. I also have a canon BJ-300. I know it worked on that! I use PdfCreator. That way I can save the page and print at another time. Great for when there is no paper printer available. As usual, watch that it does not install google tool bars and such: http://www.pdfforge.org/pdfcreator Good to be reminded. I gather this one at leasts asks first. ;-) |
