Printing Presets Page Freezes

Using Photosop Elements 11 to prepare an image to print, after I click "Print/ Page Setup/ Presets/ Show Presets", to choose a Preset, when I click either Cancel or OK to leave the page, it freezes and I have to Force Quit Photoshop to clear it. What am I doing wrong? How can I shut the box without having to Force Quit Photosop please?

I found this.

Every time I click print in Pages I get the beach ball and my mac freezes.

I just updated to the newest version of pages and every time I click print in pages I get the beach ball and my mac freezes. Any suggestions on fixing this? I've tried shutting down and restarting several times...nothing seems to be working and I'm loosing/wasting time trying to fix this...

Hey there nmiller0528,
It sounds like you are unable to print from Pages at all from your computer. I want to recommend troublehsooting the Mac OS for print issues with this article named:
Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3147
Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

Printing Problem Pages- When printing, once I have confirmed the printing settings, the Proccessing Page Hangs, and then Pages begins to freeze, and then says Error While Printing.

Hi there, I wonder if you can help me,
When printing, on Pages 09, once I have confirmed the printing settings, the Proccessing Page Hangs, and then Pages begins to freeze, and then says Error While Printing. ScreenShots are below.
Thanks for your help, in advance.
Then......(after it has frozen, for about 2mins).....
Cheers!

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?

Is there a way to make a 4x6 print preset with 3 photos on a 8X10 page?

Other editor programs I have used had preset layouts for 3 4X6 photos on a 8X10 sheet of paper. They did this by having one row with two photos in portrait orientation and the other photo in landscape. Is there a way to build a preset for this layout?

I do not know of any way to create such a print preset, but you can freely arrange and print your photos - all scaled differently- using a Light Table, for example: Three portrait images and two landscape images arranged on a lighttable and the Print window:

Printing presets are not loaded correctly

Dear community,
i have the following problems using different printers (Canon MG5200, Epson Workforce WF3620, etc.):
I saved about 10 own printing presets and when I check on them under "Show presets" they are totally correct. But when I want to use them in a following print job and select them in the drop-down list "Presets" they are not correctly loaded. E.g. "Paper Size" and "Pages" are alternated to thesetting saved in the preset but e.g. the "Duplex Printing" checkbox or the "Print Quality" drop-down list are just left on the setting they were on before.
Anyone knows that problem and can help me?
Thanks for your help.

Sorry for the delay in responding.
I was having trouble with presets, too, on my Epson printer/scanner, which is an old machine and the newer driver software does not give the same print setting options that came originally. So I decided to start from scratch. First I used the Epson uninstaller to remove the printer software. Next, reset the print system, then connected directly to the printer via USB. Ignored the initial offer to download driver software. In the printer panel in System Preferences, clicked + to add the printer. Then the printer was set up by the system. Still connected directly, I made the presets. Make sure to check the box for "All printers" for your presets. These presets should work when you connect your printer on the network instead of USB.

Importing print presets doesn't bring all settings

This isn't the first time. I saved my print presets to desktop out of CS4. I load into CS5. All that imports is the NAME. The tray is default, any other settings like duplex, make booklet, staple, etc. all default. OK. Maybe CS6 fixes this. I export my print presets to desktop, load them into CS6 and all that comes in is my menu of preset names. Is there anyway to import presets so they actually retain all the settings I spent a lot of time creating. A bit tedious to have to redo every one from scratch. I exported my entire library of exports. Should I be exporting/loading one at a time? That's as much a waste as creating them from scratch.

In ID when you click Printer... (not Page Setup...) you should get a printer specific dialog with a Presets popup. There isn't a way to save both the InDesign settings and your printer specific settings in one preset:
If you click on the Presets popup you should see a Save at the bottom of the popup list
This preset for printing to my GCC's manual feed is also available in Mail and other apps

SSRS 2008 R2 report does not print the page header for a html content displaying on multiple pages

Hi
I need to display the html content from the database. The html content are quite long and can have content of 3-5 pages. Issue I am facing is f the record has html content of 3-5 pages, then it does not print the page header (which is a separate tablix) on
second page onwards.

Hi Nikesh,
According to your description, I’m not sure the meaning of Page header in your scenario. In Reporting Services, a page header that run along the top of each page, respectively. Headers can contain static text, images, lines, rectangles, borders, background
color, background images, and expressions. But we couldn’t add tablix in the page header.
If you are saying report header, a report header consists of the report items that are placed at the top of the report body on the report design surface. They appear only once as the first content in the report. So it cannot repeat in other pages.
If you are saying tablix header, freezing column headers are different in table and matrix. For more details, please refer to the following thread:

If there are any misunderstanding, please elaborate the issue for further investigation.

HP Laserjet CP1525 printing test page but not other documents

My laserjet printer is not printing any documents. When I got into the properties, the properties program freezes. For some reason the test page prints, but when I try to get anything else to print it won't do it. The IP address has not changed, but my wireless was down for a short time this AM. Can I disable to printer and then re-enable it again without having to hook up the ethernet cable to get the wireless to work correctly?

Did that. Now I can't even print a test page. Do I have to reinstall using the ethernet cable because I do not know the steps to doing that and I just removed the printer and then reinstalled as a local printer. It doesn't seem to be connected at all now. It says its connected onthe LPT port and it is just on wireless. It still prints config pages so it's working.Can you tell me the steps to doing it with the ethernet cable?

Trouble Printing Multiple Pages in Quick Succession - LaserJet P4015x - Networked Printer

Hi,
We are currently experiencing problems printing multiple pages in quick succession. We use a bespoke Microsoft Access Database to run our Sales Order Processing. As part of this software we print 3 part invoices, credit notes etc on different coloured paper. We do this by printing to different printer trays. Originally we tried automating the printer tray configuration through VBA code using one report and changing the print tray as part of the print process but were having problems with Microsoft Access freezing. As result we have resorted to printing 3 different reports straight after each other (using VBA code) but with each report specified to print from a different tray.
We are current using tray 2 (500 sheet feeder - standard A4 paper), tray 3 (500 sheet feeder - standard A4 paper) & tray 4 (500 sheet feeder - standard A4 paper).
The current setup does print a copy from each tray and does give us what we want apart from the whole print process being very slow.
The first page comes out from tray 2 at the normal speed you would expect from a network printer but then we start to have issues.
Sometimes the second page from tray 3 will come out quickly but the third page (from tray 4) will be very slow or both pages 2 & 3 will be slow to print. There seems to be no pattern as to why these are slow. To make matters even worse sometimes it will print correctly and all three pages come out in very quick succession (although rarely).
We are using modern PC's (running Windows XP SP 3 with 2GB RAM & 160GB HDD) and the print command is definately being sent to the printer in quick succession - as far as I can tell. I have tried to setting the printers to print through the server and setting them up to print directly to the printer using the built in print server in P4015x.
The printers are networked to a Windows SBS 2008 server with quad core processors and 16GB RAM. The server is only used as a file and print server and is not under heavy load.
I will also point out that I have tried printing to another HP printer (4250dtn) and it has exactly the same problems.
I have removed advanced printing features from the printer driver setup on the client PC's but it does not seem to make any difference. I have also tried printing directly to the printer rather than spooling.
I have updated the drivers to the latest one on the HP website and still no change.
I would appreciate any ideas any one might have to sort the problem out.

Did you ever solve this?
I'm doing the exact same thing: three print outs in succession to a specific tray on a network shared printer and occasionally getting a MS Access printing error 2212 counldn't print you object. Printer setup is saved with the reports one for each printer tray.
I'm printing from bespoke MS Access 2002 application using runtime to HP LJ 4100 on Citrix terminal server session.
Any info you have would be appreciated.

Printing presets!!!

I am running OS X Mountain Lion on a new macbook pro retina display. i am pretty happy with it, but some things are just driving me insane. If you can help to solve some of those, then you could look at some of my other posts, but....i digress. Anyways, i have the microsoft word, excel and powerpoint 2011 for mac installed, but what is really annoying is that i simply cannot change the dang printer presets!!!
I've tried looking on the internet for over 2hrs and got things like "open your print preferences" (didnt work as i dont have printer preferences) or "most of the details are hidden under another tab" (the tab/button does not exist) all of which just made me get more and more confused. I really want to be able to change the printer presets like the color/grayscale option, page type, quality and other things like that. I am kinda new to macs and all, but the windows interface for printing on my old HP pavilion g6 is generally the same...
Please help.
thanks
Rohan

This is a known problem with the presets: the page format information is not stored, and this needs to be fixed by Apple.
Hope this helps.

We have an applescript that will batch print InDesign CS6 files from a folder to a laser printer using an InDesign print preset. The script does not work in OS X Yosemite. The script errors out with the print preset. Any thoughts?

tell application "Finder"
activate
set thefolder to choose folder with prompt "Select a Folder with InDesign Files to be Printed" as text
set thePath to thefolder as text
set the selected_items to every item of folder thefolder
if the selected_items is {} then
beep
display dialog "Please select a folder with InDesign files before running this script." buttons {"Cancel"} default button 1
end if
repeat with aFile in selected_items
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS6"
activate
with timeout of 600 seconds
set user interaction level of script preferences to never interact
open aFile
tell document 1
tell print preferences
set active printer preset to "Catalog Pages"
set page range to all pages
end tell
print without print dialog
close saving no
end tell
end timeout
--might need this delay
--delay 10
set user interaction level of script preferences to interact with all
end tell
end repeat
tell application "Finder"
activate
display dialog "Batch Printing is complete!" giving up after 5

JS: How to make a script to print one page at a time and set print job name?

What I want is to print one page at a time to the printer.
Document.print(false, app.printerPresets.item(0)) almost get me there. But how do I get it to print page by page? There seems to be no way to set which page to print to printerPreset.
Also, is it possible to change print job name from the default of using document name?

>Is there any solution to this other than saving the document to a different name before each page print?
Here is an altered and abriged version of the script that I use. I use print preset called "PS to PDF" in it, so you should change it to your own.
if(app.documents.length == 0){
   alert("Please open a document and try again.");
   exit();
var myFolder = Folder ("~/Desktop");
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myNoExtention = getFileNameOnly (myDoc.name);
var myPrintPrefs = myDoc.printPreferences;
if (app.printerPresets.item("PS to PDF") == null) {
   alert("Preset \"PS to PDF\" has not been installed");
   exit();
else {
   myPrintPrefs.activePrinterPreset = app.printerPresets.item("PS to PDF");
myDoc.sections.everyItem().sectionPrefix = "";
myDoc.sections.everyItem().includeSectionPrefix = false;
   var stop = myDoc.pages.length;
   var w = new Window ( 'window', 'Printing PS-files' );
   var pb = w.add ('progressbar', [12, 12, 300, 24], 0, stop);
   var txt = w.add('statictext');
   txt.bounds = [0, 0, 200, 20];
   txt.alignment = "left";
   w.show()
for(var myCounter = 0; myCounter < myDoc.pages.length; myCounter++){
   curPage = myCounter + 1;
   pb.value = curPage;
   var myText = String("Page " + curPage + " of " + myDoc.pages.length);
   txt.text = myText;
   var myPageName = myDoc.pages.item(myCounter).name;
   var cornumber = pagenum(myPageName);
   var myFilePath = myFolder + "/" + myNoExtention + "_" + cornumber + ".ps";
   var myFile = new File(myFilePath);
   myPrintPrefs.pageRange = myPageName;
   myPrintPrefs.printFile = myFile;
   myDoc.print(false);
w.hide();
alert("Done!");
function pagenum(myNumber){
   if (myNumber >= 1 && myNumber <= 9)
   x = "0" + "0" + myNumber;
   else if (myNumber >= 10 && myNumber <= 99)
   x = "0" + myNumber;
   else if (myNumber >= 100 && myNumber <= 999)
   x = myNumber;
return x
function getFileNameOnly (myFileName) {
   var myString = "";
   var myResult = myFileName.lastIndexOf(".");
   if (myResult == -1) {
      myString = myFileName;
   else {
      myString = myFileName.substr(0, myResult);
   return myString;

Printing 2 pages per page - permanent setting?

Does anyone know how to set up word or other porgranms so that when i print a document, it always prints 2 pages to a page in the layout tab?
Thanks
Jerry

Have you tried setting it to 2 pages per sheet and then saving that setting as a preset? That should do it.
Hope this helps.

Why doesn't saving a print preset for selection printing work anymore? It previously did up to version 2.

I regularly like to highlight areas on web-pages, select print/name a print preset as "Print Selection" and check-mark 'Print Selection Only' of Options under the Firefox sub-heading. Then when I wanted to quickly print a selection instead of a whole web-page, I just highlighted an area, activated print, selected "Print Selection" and then checked print preview to view the selection before printing. That worked from version 2 only.
Now in version 3 +, all above can be done '''except''' the check-marked 'Print Selection Only' option in the Firefox sub-heading keeps resetting itself, even IF you have saved it check-marked as a print preset. Selecting the saved preset "Print Selection" next time will print (preview) the whole web-page, and not what was highlighted (selected) for printing. Why was this feature turned off?

Powerpoint 2008 printing presets

Wasn't sure where else to post this issue.
We are trying to set up our Powerpoint 2008 print presets where it prints Slides 6 to a page, and fits the slides to the page. When we save it as a print preset, the preset gets saved, then prints out fine, but when we close powerpoint and re-open it, the preset is there but the settings we set are gone and set back to the defaults.
Does anyone know how to fix this or where the location that the print preset is being stored to is located?
