Printer settings problem

A postscript printer driver is installed in Mac OS 10.4.8. Some printing settings have been saved as a preset and make it as default. When a Indesign file or Adobe applications file is printed to that postscript printer,I should press "printer" button to ensure the preset is selected and then print the file.Otherwise, those print settings stored as preset will not be applied. I tried to print other files, e.g Microsoft Word file, no such problem occurs.
Any ideas on it?
Regards,
Vincent

CS6 Photoshop Print Settings- Problem w/1/2" borders

I have started to have probelms with the printing pictures using the CS6 Print Settings box.
After I have selected all the appropriate Printer setups and set the Print size to 8.5x11 both in Printer Setting and in the CS6Scaled Print Size box I get the below Print Preview.
Both when I manually enter Scale,H&W and when I check the "Scale to fit Media Box".
It leaves the top and bottom with a 1/2" white border at top/bottom as seen below.
Any advice would be welcome.
Dan

There may be a interaction between your Printer Driver Settings and your Photoshop Print settings. May depend on your OS and Printer Drivers. I'm on a Windows 7 PC with Epson 4800 Printer. I opened a new black document set to be 8.5" by 11" at 300 DPI. I did some screen captures of Photoshop Print Dialog where I used the Printer setting button to set different printer setting so you can see the effect they have on Photoshop's Print Dialog. I have Photoshop manager the colors and turn off the printer color management. So basically all I use the printer setting for it to turn off color management and to set Paper options.
Capture 1 Paper Tray 8.5" x 11" Portrait Standard Print Area
Capture 2 Paper Tray 8.5" x 11" Portrait Maximum Print Area
Capture 3 Paper Tray 8.5" x 11" Portrait Borderless option note the paper in Photoshop's print dialog in no longer 8.5" x 11"
Capture 4 RollPaper Paper Sized define 8.51" x 11.1" Printer Borderless option With this paper size set in the printer Photoshop's print dialog shoes 8.5" x 11"
One more capture with Paper Tray 8.5" x 11" Paper Print area maximum not borderless with printer scaling the image to 100% of 8.5" x 11" in printer setting note this look like borderless option with roll paper set to 8.51" x 11.1"
As you see the Photoshop Dialog changes after the Printer setting are changed using the printer setting buttons.
However your screen capture look more like a mismatch of Aspect Ratios. The print dialog shows portrait paper and your image windows shows a almost square aspect ratio the aspect ratio difference between your image and your paper is causing your white boarders. Your image is more square then portrait. So when its width is scaled to 8.5" wide some 229% the same percentage of the height does not reach 11". Aspect Ratio you must not forget about you Images Aspect ratio and your paper aspect ration you do not want to distort you image to fill the paper so crop you image to your Paper aspect ratio if you want a boarderless print.

Print Settings Problem

Aperture does not seem to save my Print Settings... I'll press the Print Settings button, select my printer, choose a preset, set the Quality and Media setting, and then click "Done." If I re-click the Print Settings button immediately afterward, everything has re-set to the default choices. I have yet to get a decent print from Aperture.... Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks for the help, but I'm still not able to save a preset. After I hit the "done" button in the print settings, everything goes back to "Standard" in the Print Settings dialog box. So if I go to the Aperture Presets and hit "Save as" it just saves the default print settings. Here's what happens when I try to print a photo: I select a photo, press command+P for the Print dialog box; I set the number of copies and then click on "Printer" in Printer Selection, I choose a printer, and then click "Print Settings;" I choose the options I want from the "Presets" drop-down menu and then click "Done." I assume that when I click the "Done" button, all of the selections I just made in Presets are held while I print. But that does not seem to be the case. If I go right back and look at my Print Settings, the Presets box says "Standard" again. Very frustrating!! What am I doing wrong!!!

Reg: Dot Matrix Printer Settings problem

hello all,
The problem is with the Character format of Dot matrix printer, the printer is unable to print any graphical line. The line can be seen in print preview but in the actual printout the line is not printed. When the same O/P is printed through normal mode of dot matrix printer it is getting printed in the print out.
The client want all the Invoices to get printed in this format as it requires least usage of ink.

Do you have the same problem with printing from other apps, such as TextEdit? Have you looked at your printer's control panel to see if an error condition is displayed there, and if so, what is it?

Problem with Print Settings- Epson Stylus CX4200

Hi there,
I am having issues with my print settings. Firstly, when I run out of ink on a cartridges it just says "out of ink" and does not show the ink levels of the different colors. Therefore I need to replace all the colors as I do not know which one is low.
I also do not have the option for different print qualities (draft, best, etc..) to help save ink.
Both of these functions worked on my old computer, but do not show up here. I tried to re-install the printer driver from the Epson website, but it hasn't changed anything.
Thanks for your help!

Did you try the Epson Utility that is installed with the driver? It should be accessible from the printer proxy, and it can also be launched from the /Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter/Utilities folder.
Hope this helps.

Safari doesn't remember print settings

hi all
i'm using safari 1.3.2 under panther, & i want to print a bunch of web pages with a layout of 2 pages of text per printed page. this works fine when i use the layout feature in the print dialog box, but the problem is that i have to do this every time. how can i get safari to remember my previous print settings? or is this possible?
thanks in advance for any suggestions/comments!
brian

Hi Brian,
I'm not on my Mac at the moment, but if memory serves, I believe after making the necessary customisation with regards to layout, paper handling, you can click on the 'presets' field and save your particular scheme for use in the future. I'm not sure if you can specify a user-created scheme as default but I'd imagine it's possible as well.
I hope Tiger and Panther are similar at least in that respect. All the best!

Default printer and problem with printing Crystal Report

Good morning
I have SAP B1 and on the client the default printer is "AMM_4014DN_PCL6_domain-srv FRONTE-RETRO"
Then i have another printer "AMM_4014DN_PS_domain-srv".
Before the default printer were the "AMM_4014DN_PS_domain-srv".
Now the default printer is "AMM_4014DN_PCL6_domain-srv FRONTE-RETRO".
When i push the button "Print" in the menu bar to print for example an invoice, instead of printing on the default printer AMM_4014DN_PCL6_domain-srv FRONTE-RETRO is always printing on then AMM_4014DN_PS_domain-srv.
The report to print was made with Crystal Report 2008 and on the report I also set the correct default printer (AMM_4014DN_PCL6_domain-srv FRONTE-RETRO).
So what's the problem ? Why is continue to print to the older printer ?
So i also delete the older printer (AMM_4014DN_PS_domain-srv) and very strange still printing on the old printer.
I also shut down the client, but no effect.
The operating system of the client is Win Vista and SAP B1 is host on a Win2008 server.
Thanks in advance.

Don't have printer settings for Epson CX9400fax since upgrading to SL

I recently upgrade my operating system from Tiger to Snow Leopard (after a HD crash). I have an Epson CX9400fax all-in-one machine and I am able to print, but I no longer have the Printer Settings options as before - where you can change paper, ink, etc. I'm trying to print from Photoshop CS5, if that's relevant at all.
This is what I am looking for:
tons of options/setting to adjust
And this is what I have now:
basically just print.
Here's the driver info:
Is this something on Epson's end that hasn't been updated yet?
I've looked around, both here and online and haven't really got anywhere. If ANYONE can help, I will be very appreciative.
Oh, and I'm a first-timer so please be nice :0)

Hi,
Welcome to Apple Discussions. I had the same problem with my Epson printer and solved it by going to Apple Support [here|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4169]. You can rearrange your printer settings using CUPS from there. Also, click on the triangle to the right of the Printer Name window to get an expanded menu.
Good luck and a Merry Christmas.

How can I delete all printer settings?

This was not always the case, but I've been having problems lately getting good prints from a HP PhotoSmart Pro B9180 from my Mac Pro since I installed Photoshop CS5. The printing problems - washed-out colors, especially reds- also happened with older versions of Photoshop, so it may not be the app that's causing this. I uninstalled, then reinstalled the HP drivers but the uninstall didn't delete all the settings accumulated over several years of printing. After lots of lousy test prints using different settings, I decided to try printing from another Mac that has never used this printer before. The prints came out right when printed with Photoshop CS1, which has a simpler print dialog than the later versions. By CS5, it has so many variables that it was hard to figure out which settings are affecting the quality.
I also tried printing the same file from Preview to rule out Photoshop as the cause. It was somewhat better but not as good as the print from CS 1 on the laptop.
I'm just trying to start with a clean slate to eliminate some of the variables that may be causing the print quality problems.
Where is the file or files that contain the list of saved printer settings? I looked in the User Library and its Prefs folder but discarding the HP Printer prefs file didn't delete the settings.

It seems to me that you’re having problems concerning colour management/profiles. In that case I’m not of much help. But you can try to reset the printing system of OS X and afterwards install your printer driver again. To reset the printing system open System Preferences/Print & Fax and right-click somewhere on the white space underneath your listed printers.

Windows 8/8.1: Printer Offline Problems

Windows 8/8.1: Printer Offline Problems
Are you getting an error that your network or wireless printer is offline when you try to print?
When you print to your network printer, does it fail, and when you check the printer status it says Offline?
Do you have problems printing to your wireless printer after your PC has been asleep?
If you answered YES to any of the above questions, then you have a problem with your network printer being offline. After some investigation into this problem, we recommend updating windows. Run Windows update to check that your version of Windows 8 is up to date.
There are a few windows updates that may help with this problem
1) Install this Microsoft patch to make sure this private-public-private network issue does not reoccur. It is part of the April 2014 Windows Update package for Windows 8.1 and Server2012 R2 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2919355).
2) Install this Microsoft patch for the WSD service. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/3000461
If this does not help, then please follow the steps list below which will give you a Workaround that may help with this problem.
Assign the printer a static IP address
An IP address is an Internet network address that the computer can use to communicate with the printer. Enter a static IP address to make sure that the wireless connection remains stable. Follow these steps to assign the printer a static IP address.
Get the printer IP address.
Press the Wireless button on the printer control panel to view the network settings.
Access the Network menu on the printer control panel.
Print a Network Configuration Page or Wireless Test Report page.
Once you have the printer's IP address, open a new web browser window or tab.
Type the IP address in your web browser's address bar, and then press Enter.
Make sure that you type the IP address into the browser's address box. If you type it into a tool bar search box, the EWS will not open.
If the message 'There is a problem with this website's security certificate' appears in the web browser when you try to open the embedded web server (EWS), or when you navigate within the EWS, click ' Continue to this website (not recommended)'.
note:
Choosing 'Continue to this website (not recommended)' will not harm your computer while you navigate within the EWS for your printer. If you encounter this error outside of your printer's EWS, your computer could be at risk.
If the browser fails to open the EWS after you click 'Continue to this website (not recommended)', refresh the browser window.
The Embedded Web Server (EWS) for the printer opens and confirms that the printer is on the same network as the computer.
In the EWS, click the Network tab.
In the Wireless section, click the Network Address (IP) or IPv6 configuration, depending on your network setup.
Click Manual IP, and then click Suggest a Manual IP Address. A manual IP address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway displays.
After the manual IP address populates, click Manual DNS Server.
note:
Keep a record of the manual IP address for reference.
On the Network Configuration Page you printed earlier, locate the DNS Server addresses, type the DNS addresses in the Manual Preferred DNS Server and Manual Alternate DNS Server fields, and then click Apply.
If the DNS addresses are not listed on the Network Configuration Page, or if you have trouble accessing the network or Internet with the original DNS addresses, use one of the following methods to obtain DNS addresses.
Method one: Use publicly available DNS server addresses
Configure the printer using publicly available DNS server addresses. To find available DNS server addresses, search online for 'public DNS servers'.
After you find public DNS server addresses, type the addresses in the Manual Preferred DNS Server and Manual Alternate DNS Server fields, and then click Apply.
Method two: Get the network DNS information via your computer
Select your operating system, and then use the following directions to obtain the DNS server addresses.
Right-click the Start button () or the lower left corner of the screen, click Run, type cmd, and then press Enter.
When the command window opens, type ipconfig /all, and then press Enter. Information about the computer's network displays.
Scroll to and locate the DNS Server addresses.
In the EWS, type the DNS addresses in the Manual Preferred DNS Server and Manual Alternate DNS Server fields, and then click Apply.
Print a test page to make sure that the printer's IP address is the same as you assigned.
Right-click the Start button () or the lower left corner of the screen, click Search, type HP and click your printer in the results. Click Utilities, and then click Update IP address to update the address in the software.
Adding a Wireless Network Printer using Control Panel
Go to Control Panel and choose Devices and Printers
Click on Add Printer
The PC will search the local network and display the network printers.
Choose the printer and select Next
The system will then try and auto select a compatible driver
Select the current driver and Click Next
The system will then ask for a name for the printer. The user can change the name and then click Next
The User can then choose to share the printer
The user can select to make this new printer the default and then click Finish.
The new printer is now setup but this printer may be using the In OS driver (Class) rather than the HP Full Function driver.
To change the printer to use the HP Full Function driver follow the following instructions. I would recommend changing the driver to the HP Full Function driver as the User can then use features such as Custom paper sizes.
Go back into Control Panel and choose devices and Printers, right click on the newly created printer and choose Printer Properties
Choose the Advanced Tab
Click on the driver section drop down and choose the Driver for the printer that does not have the words Class driver after it.
Click apply and then OK and the driver will be changed to the HP Full Function driver for the printer.
The user should try this configuration and see if they still experience problems.
Please Note:
DO NOT Remove the Original Printer Icon from Devices and Printers as the HP Printer Assistant will stop working.

I work for HP

I have the printer offline problem. It started when I ran out of toner. I have now installed a new toner cartridge.
Your solution does not help me because I have tried to install Win8.1 and it failed.
I would just reinstall my printer but I have a long list of items in my print queque and I don't want to lose them.
Is there another solution?
Or is there a way I can save the print queue?

Printer Driver problem/question....

Using a MacBook with 10.5.1. A Linksys wireless network hooked to a desktop PC and an Epson Stylus Photo R380 printer also hooked directly to the PC.
Problem: When the Mac is hooked up directly to the printer it works fine. However, when trying to print from it via the wireless network, the print comes out in a light, weak shade of black and colors.
In setting up the printer, I used the only generic driver available in the list provided in the set up window for this printer, a gutenprint v5.1.3.
Spoke to the Epson people who say that the problem is probably because I am not using the Epson driver established specifically for the OX 10.5.x...the v3.68. Therefore, I downloaded that driver and have it on my desktop.
However, I cannot establish the printer with this driver. I am using the IP setup option. I have used the "Other" option under "Print Using" box. Then, click on downloads, then select the Epson driver, then "Open", but cannot get the driver to appear either in the list of drivers under "Select a Driver to use" or in the "Print Using" box. Nothing happens when I use "Auto" either.
Question: How can I setup the printer with the Epson driver that I have downloaded ?
I've spent 3 hours trying to reslve this with bot Apple Care and Epson to no avail.
Appreciate any assistance. Thanks.

Not sure if this helps or not, but I also have a MacBook running 10.5.1 and an Epson R380 printer. I have the printer directly connected via USB to an iMac. I then use Bonjour to print to it via my Macbook on my home network.
With both the iMac and MacBook running Tiger, I had no printing problems at all. I had a terrible time trying to print on the R380 from the MacBook running 10.5.1 when the iMac was still running Tiger. It alternately wouldn't let me select the Epson driver for the printer, or when I could select it, the print settings options weren't available to do things like change the print quality or paper type. I downloaded the latest Epson drivers and made sure they were installed on both Macs. I also tried the gutenprint driver packaged with Leopard and I couldn't get it to print at all.
However, when I upgraded the iMac where the printer was connected to Leopard, it started to work perfectly from the MacBook.
I know with your set up you have the printer connected to a PC so this isn't exactly relevant. But I thought I'd confirm at least there does seem to be something in general funky with the Epson R380 drivers and using Leopard.

Windows 7 - HP Laserjet 8500 print driver problem

I have tried everything imaginable to correct this HP 8500n print driver problem with no success, please help!
I cannot correct or get rid of a reoccurring “Incompatible Print Settings” error dialog box message that repeatedly states that “There are one or more conflicting settings. One of the settings is: Output Bin: Mailbox 1, Accessory Output Bin: Not Installed”. The radio button options are “Restore my previous settings or Keep this setting, and I will change it later”. This same dialog message repeats 13 times for all the other various conflicts each time you click on printer properties to change to 2 sided printing or any other printer settings. This printer does not have any of these features attached or set into it.
I am a volunteer that manages a number of computers on our small church LAN, 2 computers operating on MS XP-SP3, 2 on MS Windows 7 Home Premium and my 2 problem computers that came pre-installed with Vista Home Premium of which I have performed an HP OEM upgrade to Window 7.
I have isolated this print driver problem to the Vista operating system and even when computers are upgraded to Windows 7 does not correct this driver error. I have also tried every possible print driver variant of the HP 8500, HP8550, PCL, PS to include the Microsoft versus HP versions with no success. In each case I get this error yet neither of the XP computers or the computers that had Windows 7 as a original operating system have no problems with their print drivers for this printer.
Yes, I have repeatedly searched and upgraded the operating system and print drivers. In desperation I have even tried to find the correctly behaving Windows 7 print driver and transfer it to these Vista upgraded to Windows 7 machines. However I could not isolate the driver location.
The only thing I can conclude is that this errant HP print driver was resident within Vista and remains resident even after a HP OEM Windows 7 upgrade. Additionally, all of these computers are configured to access this printer via its static IP address on the network. The XP computers are 32 bit, all of the Vista upgraded to Win 7 and OEM Win 7 computers are 64 bit machines all with respective OS.
Can anyone please help me correct this problem?

Hi,
Unfortunately I can't see your uploaded image yet as it is awaiting approval from HP.
From what I can see you are correct that HP does supply drivers for this printer and that the drivers for your printer are already included with Windows 7. On the machines affected, try the procedure below to see if it helps at all
Next download revo uninstaller on the link below and install it.
http://www.revouninstaller.com/download-freeware-version.php
Disconnect the printer from the PC.
Run Revo and see if it finds any HP Printer Software installed. If it does, right click the software icon and select uninstall. During the process you may be asked to delete registry entries. If you are, just select all and click delete. Do the same for any left over files and folders. Once completed, reboot the PC.
Re-connect your printer to the PC and follow the guide below.
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?&objectID=c02536257
If this helps you will need to repeat the process on each of the affected machines.
Best wishes,

Archive & Install, Where did my printer settings go?

I just upgraded to Leopard from Jaguar on my PowerPC G4, by way of Archive & Installing. On top of my printer settings being reset to defaults, my RIP software (FastRip Pro) doesn't work with Leopard yet. Did I lose all of my previous RIP/printer settings? If not, where would they be in the previous systems folder?
I'm thinking about going back to Jaguar until the new RIP software is released..
If I do downgrade, will I lose my previous system folder?
Any advice appreciated...
Thanks

Glad to help.
I suspect your settings are in the folder named "Previous System" but Leopard simply did not migrate it. That's why I think a clone would be perfect. Unfortunately you did not clone Panther, so your only hope os that the settings are in that folder I mentioned.
Download a copy of CarbonCopy Cloner - it's free:
http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html
Then get an external Firewire drive like a LaCie. I have their 500GB quadro. Then using DU on Leopard, partition it so that your MBP files will fit in the smaller partition when you clone it.
The other partition is perfect for TimeMachine - that's the way I use it.
Now, using CarbonCopy, you clone your Leopard onto the smaller partition on the external drive. Takes anywhere from 1/2 hour to an hour. The LaCie has FW800 on it which makes things fly.
After you have cloned your MBP, restart it holding down the Option button and the external clone should show up as a bootable system. Select it and boot into it just to be sure.
Once you have your Leopard preserved, then you can erase your internal drive using the disk utility on the Leopard DVD (boot into the DVD by holding down the "C" key when starting up.
Erase your internal drive including the free space and then shutdown. Startup with your original Panther CD and install it. You should be asked to migrate, but I don't know if Panther will see the Leopard archive. No problem yet.
After you get Panther running again, use Finder to look into the archived folder on the Leopard clone and see if you can find your old stuff.
Seriously, by the time you do all this, it might be that your new software will be available. But still, it's a great learning experience and as long as you have that clone, you have not lost anything except what was not installed when you installed Leopard.
