Printing is defaulting to #10 Envelope

I keep changing my paper size back to Letter after having used #10 Envelope and it continues to default to #10 Envelope, which means I have to pull down to Letter every time I print.
I have tried to Save a new Preset (like "Fast Draft-1") while having Letter selected (and then printing in the hopes that it would make it "stick") but even this /new/ Preset is defaulting to #10 Envelope.
Any ideas on how to get back to the defaults or otherwise fix this?
Thanks

Hi. I'm not sure what questions I didn't answer.
It happens all the time every time I try and print. Can you let me know what I missed?
I was using Safari as an example but I had originally thought it was also happening in Pages because I used Pages to print an envelope for the first time yesterday. I opened a letter, set up a page to print the envelope and now I am stuck in Safari with a default going to the envelope size all the time.
Curiously, I checked Pages just now with a New document and it is defaulting to Letter size.
Still, I need to figure something out to get this to also work in Safari.
Can I ask you to start by explaining if and how these two print procedures are different when printing out of these softwares? Are they both "Drivers" and are they both controlled in a different way somehow? Is there a way to "see' these somwehere? Is it a Plist?
Thanks!

  • When I try and print off a list of my contacts, it defaults to an envelope. How do I make a list of just the names?

    When I try and print off a list of my contacts, it defaults to an envelope style, with all the info. I just want a list of names.  How do I do that?

    Thanks so much Martin.  It took me awhile to figure out that in the print mode, there is an arrow that expands the print dialog box.  I've been looking for the print dialog box for awhile, and now that I found it, I could make my list. Thank you SO much!! I can show my computer savvy husband that I learned something new today!!!  I'm SO happy!!!

  • Printer List (Default) is empty

    When trying to add a new printer the default printer list comes up empty. I have not deleted any drivers, they are all still in /Library/Printers. I have tried reinstalling the drivers from the install disk, and repairing disk permissions, to no avail. Can anyone help?

    With the Print & Fax window open, point your mouse to the empty printer list then hold down Control and then click your mouse. The 'Reset printing system' dialog should appear. Select this and then restart your Mac. Now once restarted, open Print & Fax again and select to add. Select the printer from the default view or enter your network details and then see if the Print using menu has any models listed.

    Hi Isk8ter,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    What version of Pages are you working with?  I'm assuming '09 since you reference OS X 10.7.4 above.
    I've included the link to the Pages User Manual for you below.
    Page 253 starts the chapter on Printing, Shareing and Exporting your document.
    Pages '09 User Manual
    manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/0/MA663/en_US/Pages09_UserGuide.pdf
    Setting the Paper Size and Orientation
    Before you print, you should make sure the paper size and orientation are set the way you want by opening the Page Setup dialog.
    To set paper size and orientation:
    1 Choose File > Page Setup.
    2 In the Page Setup dialog, choose the printer you will use from the “Format for” popup
    menu.
    3 Choose a standard paper size from the Paper Size pop-up menu.
    Also, see page 266 of the Pages User Manual for more specific instructions for creating a custom template for envelopes.
    Hope this helps ...

  • Outlook 2007/2010 only prints to default printer

    We use the following command to add network printers to XP PCs' (this saves each user of the PC having to find and install the network printer themselves)
    rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ga /n\\machine\printer
    This adds the printer for all users of the PC, however Outlook 2007/2010 only allows the user to print to the default printer, regardless of which printer the user selects.
    When printing from Word/Excel or any other application the print goes to the selected printer.
    Has anyone else had this problem, and found a solution, or know why Outlook only prints to default but other office applications print to other printers correctly ?
    Thanks

    I am having a similar issue to ferdz2013.
    I am running terminal services on server 2008 R2.  This is in a domain environment, the user has permissions to the color printer in question and can print to it using Word and notepad.  However in Excel, it will not print to the color printer. 
    Even if I select the color printer as the default printer, it only prints to another BW printer.  In fact, there are .......
    Well, as I was writing this, after troubleshooting it for an hour, it fixed itself.  I was going into his control panel to count the network printers installed (about 5) of which he could only choose from 2 in excel. Suddenly, he has only
    two installed.  We can print to it, but we can't choose color now. 
    I believe this is a domain controller issue, where he is attached to one DC, and I am attached to a second DC, where I change the AD permissions.  It took an hour for them to exchange this information.
    Just something else to think about.
    Now I need to figure out why he can only select BW.

  • How do I set the printer to default in fast mode?

    I want my printer to default to the fast mode rather than standard; as it is I have to adjust it for each document.  How do I do that?

    Every Printer driver allow you to save a set of settings.
    For instance,
    I defined
    A4 black & white
    A4 colors
    listings black & white (which prints two pages on an A4 sheet)
    listing colors (which prints two pages on an A4 sheet)
    Do the same with your settings.
    Use the item Enregistrer or the item Enregistrer sous to save your settings.

  • Cannot make duplex printing as default in CUPS

    I cannot seem to activate default duplex printing setting on my Brother MFC-8660DN through CUPS.
    I tried to enable it by going through the CUPS interface (localhost:631). However, even though it is set to "duplex no tumble" as default and it shows on the print dialog ("two sided" option checked), the pages still print single sided.
    Strangely, if I uncheck and check again the "two sided" option in the print dialog, the document prints in duplex mode.
    I have tried updating the drivers (used the latest Brother CUPS drivers dated 2/15/10), resetting CUPS, deleting/adding the same printer (both USB and network connection), and the problem persists. The same thing happens if I print (via network) from my wife's macbook (10.6.2 as well).
    On the other hand, if I use the default PCL driver or the Brother BR-Script3 driver the default duplex setting works.
    Has anyone had this same problem?

    Hi @BigKeith,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I noticed that you are trying to setup the duplex printing as default with your Mac and your HP Photosmart 5520. I am happy to help with these settings!
    For further assistance, I will need to know, the version of the Mac Operating System you are using. If you do not know the Operating System you are using, please visit this website. Whatsmyos. Also are you using A4 size paper? Or Letter?
    In the meantime, please take a look at this guide. Printing on Both Sides of the Paper (Duplexing) in Mac OS X v10.6. This also works for versions up to 10.9.
    Hope this helps, and hope to hear from you soon!

  • Setup different printer as default in different location in SAP via  Citrix

    regards

    Sandip,
    I remember seeing this post from you before.  I would urge you to follow up on your posts and check the replies before posting them again.  This is mainly because if you keep posting the same questions again inspite of getting answers you might lose credibility in getting replies.  I am saying this in your best interest. 
    Please see my reply for your previous message
    As per what I know you can setup a default Printer for a document (PLD). Also for your situation you should save the same PLD with two different names and default one to each user. Now you have two PLD's for two of your users.
    Open the first PLD template and from the design mode of PLD.
    In the Top Menu
    Print layout designer > Display document properties -- go to Paper format tab and select the Printer you want the document to print for this PLD user.
    Do the same for the other user.
    I am not sure how this will work in a distributed environment where you are using CITRIX. Please check with your Network associate.
    Thanks

  • How to make Firefox reset printing to Default Printer and Settings at Startup

    Earlier versions of Firefox and most Windows programs that I know of, start by using the default printer with default settings. If you change them, they stay changed for that session, but once you close the program and re-start it, you are back to a clean slate. V3.6 of Firefox now remembers settings such as portrait/landscape, zoom settings, etc. I find myself throwing out paper because I zoomed in on a certain document on Friday, then on Monday inadvertently print 20 pages of a normal page because Firefox remembered the zoom and I forgot about it. I would hate to HAVE to do a print preview EVERY time I printed because I couldn't count on the default settings. Thanks for your help.

    Here's a great link with a fix that worked for me.

  • NI Reports print function default printer behaviour

    Just an FYI... Using the NI Reports Print Report.vi without wiring the printer name does not always work as expected at least for Excel. If you do the following with an Excel worksheet:
    1) Print to "Printer1"
    2) Print to "" (default)
    The second printer operation will print to "Printer1" because it is now set as the 'Active Printer' in the open Excel workbook.
    The Print Report.vi does not actually write the name of the default printer to the Excel _Print.vi PrintOut method. It passes an empty string, so Excel will print with the current active printer which may or may not be the default printer. 
    The Print Report.vi documentation should probably be changed to reflect that passing an empty string to the 'printer name (default)' terminal will not print to the default printer in all cases.

    That is all good information - and all information which I already know and which does not answer my question.
    The issue that I am having is that Safari and Safari alone is ignoring the printer setting. Could be something in the Safari plist file or somewhere else in Safari that is not working correctly - or at least I am assuming that it is a problem that Safari is not doing what it is supposed to for some reason - rather than Safari deliberately being programmed to ignore the system pref for printer setting.

  • IPhoto Printing and Default Settings

    Help would be appreciated.  All of sudden, with no other changes to my computer or my printer, when I try to print a photo to 4x6, 5x7, etc sized photo paper, the print is oriented to portrait, rather than to landscape.  Can't find any settings to change the orientation.  I've reset my printer to default factory settings.  I've noticed that all of the print pre-sets in my computer are set to portrait, and I can't find a way to change the pre-sets.  Very frustrating as I print quite a few pictures this way and have never had a problem.  The only way I could print a 4x6 and get the whole picture is to print it on 8x10 paper.  Thank you for any suggestions.  Using MacBook Pro (2011), HP Officejet 8500 all-in-one, and iPhoto 9.5.1.

    That indicates that the problem is limited to your account on the Mac.  Since deleting the iPhoto preference file didn't help it could be another pref file that's messing up the process. Here's a way to determine if that's the case:
    Trouble Shooting Preferences
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    If you're running Mavericks, 10.9,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
    1 - close all applications.
    2 - open your Home/Library folder and Option-drag (copy) the Preferences folder to the Desktop. 
    3 - select the contents of your Home/Library/Preferences folder and drag them into the Trash bin in the Dock.  You will be asked to provide your Admin password.
    4 - reboot. Be sure to know your account's username and password as you will be asked to log in with it.
    5 - run the application again and determine if the problem(s) is fixed.
    6 - If the problem is fixed:
    A - open the working Home/Library/Preferences folder.
    B - Open the Preferences  folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Home/Library/Preferences folder.
    C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace or Skip button.
    D - reboot.
    7 - If the problem is NOT fixed, drag the contents of the Preference folder on the Desktop into the Home/Library/Preference folder and replace the entire contents that were created by clicking on Replace.
    8 - reboot and you're back as square one.
    Note:  keep the Preference folder on the desktop until you're sure all registration info for your apps are working.  If not you can copy the required files from the desktop pref folder to the working one.

  • Printing always defaults landscape in Safari only

    Only in Safari, printing always defaults to landscape.  My printer is Brother HL-4070CDW series CUPS.  It will print portrait, but I have to tell it every time.  And selecting a preset that is set up for Portrait does not change the orientation - I have to click the radio button for Portrait mode.
    Other applications defaut to portrait.
    Anyone else had this problem?

    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Now type of copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.print.PrintingPrefs.plist
    Click Go then move the com.appl.print.PrintingPrefs.plist file to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac. Turn off your printer then turn it back on.
    Launch Safari and try printing ...
    In the Safari print window, make sure Default Settings is selected from the presets pop up menu.

    HP3510 Deskjet printer instaled on Hp laptop running windows 7. Cannot set printer as default. Error code 0x0000709. Removed old computer and software
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    tgwright,
    Thank you for the additional info. With the print and scan doctor not locating any corrupted software/driver problems its time to look to the operating system itself. Others who have had similar issues with the same error indicate a corrupted registry key causing the problem:
    http://goo.gl/t94JG
    http://goo.gl/uejgi
    Beware these solutions indicate changing registry info (very dangerous if you do not know what you are doing). If you are not comfortable in the registry or have never been there before I would suggest seeking additional support in some fashion (Microsoft/Local IT/PC Repair service/etc).
    Best of Luck!
