Printing with scale

Having problems printing in the right scale since I installed Mavericks OSX (It is not a printer problem, it works fine via windows 7).

More details. What app are you printing from? What's not working? Does the preview in the print dialog show the expected scale?

How to print with "Scale: 100%" by default from Preview

The print dialogue in Preview is set by default to "Scale to Fit".
I never need this, I always need "Scale: 100%".
It's annoying to change all the time I have to print a PDF from Preview the setting!
I tried to save the print setting, but it does not work.
So. Is there a way to set the print dialogue by default to "Scale: 100%" ?
Mayby with a Terminal command?

AFAICT, only for PDF files. If you want to report this issue to Apple's engineering, send a bug report or an enhancement request via its Bug Reporter system. To do this, join the Mac Developer Program—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report or enhancement request. The nice thing with this procedure is that you get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

Why can't I print to scale?

Adobe reader. It doesn't let you print on the scale you want.
I'm not talking about that stupid 'print to fit the page' option, which does nothing for most cases. Why can't I print with scale that I want? I'm not asking anyone how I can do it. I've read I can do it through photoshop or changing the printing paper size. Why doesn't the adobe reader have that function at all? It's like the most basic function of a paper reader. IMO, the adobe reader exists so that people can share stuff to 'print'.
Don't adobe care about the community feedback, or interface? Do they think we're too dumb to figure out scaling so they have to do it for us? What is it? This is probably why Apple is trying to exclude adobe.
Please reply if you knows why, or if you just want to rant with me.

Terry,
I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
The printing system in OS X is CUPS. To be able to use the network print protocols, you need driver(s) that work with CUPS. Not only does Canon not provide CUPS drivers, but they don't cooperate with the open source community so that Gimp-Print (free CUPS drivers), for example, could support your model. The only CUPS driver (I know of) for your model is available for purchase from www.printfab.net.

Thank you for the response. I tried to fix the problem with some of the suggestions on that page, but none seem to work. I believe that is the only website that I'm having that problem on. I got to fooling with it a bit more and when I highlight the whole page and select to print the selected area, it actually prints the whole page then, but it won't do it as a default. I guess I can just do it like that from now on, but I thought there would be something in the settings that I could have changed. Thanks again for the help.

Print dialog box code with scale to paper size option

Can anyone tell about the java code that can be used to generate a print dialog box with "Scale to paper size" option.

manual wrote:
The path given does not match my installation (i.e. no "Xtras" folder).
The 'Xtras' folder has nothing to do with Adobe Reader (nor Acrobat); that is part of Shockwave Player.

How can I print with a wider left margin in Preview? (OSX 10.5)

How can I print with a wider left margin in Preview? (OSX 10.5)
To punch Binder Holes.
Should be easy ... Make a Custom page with a wider left margin ... easy to set up, but it does not actually work for any printer I am connected to.
Info so far:
Found an older post from 2002 ... "Make a custom page"
Mac Help has a limited, simple, incomplete answer: "Make a custom page"
Tried three printers. One Postscript Level 3 One Level 2 and one non postscript
Switching between page types in the drop down shows a change in the print preview, and the floating information shows the correct page size and larger left margin... but the "Custom Page Size" does not show a larger left margin, in the preview, no mater how it is set.
There also appear to be a relation ship between the radio Buttons for scale and the margin settings.
Test prints have simply cut off the left side of the document, and scaled the document from the right side in and the top down.
Printing a PDF from Preview
MacBook Pro
OSX 10.5.6
Thanks
Peter

Thanks ... tried the Paper Handling, but no lock.
Based on the fact that any scaling, "moves" the image down and to the left on the paper ...
Th only "work around" solution is to ...
Rotate the PDF page 180, then scale slightly (90% or so ...)
This pushes the upside down page, down and to the left.
While this is the opposite of what is desired, the print is then correct when
it is punched and placed into a three ring binder.
Assumption is the application that creates the documnt, needs to have the paper margins set. The reality is, an application like Preview, that does not "create anything", needs to handle existing documents PDF, JPEG and print to Custom Page configurations.
ie: In Preview, Custom Page does not work correctly,
Thanks allfor the comments and help ...

OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus - N911g - refuses to print with an exhausted cartridge (yellow)

Hi,
I owned this printer some months ago, and I have already substituted the black cartridge some times ago.
In fact, I usually use the b&w option to print my documents, and I use very little to no colors, instead.
Before deciding to buy this printer I had read the printer guide, which reports (translated from Italian):
[Printing with one or more cartridges exhausted]
The printer can work with one or more cartridges exhausted. However, printing with exhausted cartridges slows the printing process down and lowers the quality of the documents printed. If the black cartridge is exhausted, blacks are not going to be really dark. If a color cartridge is exhausted, the result is in the grey scale. As soon as possible, replace the exhausted cartridge. Don't remove the exhausted cartridge before you can replace it with a new one. [...]
(screenshot attached)
The downloadable user-guide reports (no translation):
[Color cartridge very low on ink]
To temporarily print using black ink only, click Cancel Print and then re-send the print job. The
Use black ink only? message appears before the job prints. The empty cartridges will need to be
replaced soon.
(screenshot attached)
So, when I decided to go for this printer, knowing I substantially use black only for my studies and my work, I did take care of reading the entire printer guide and look for these specific official declarations by HP on the printer functionalities.
Additionally, I took care of disabling any HP protection and pages control on the cartridges before installing them, using the printer menu.
Today, instead, I've found out the printer won't print with an exhausted yellow cartridge. This is what the message window says (translated freely, again, from Italian):
[Exhausted cartridge]
HP 951 SETUP Yellow
Replace the cartridges in the list to be able to print.
HP advises not to remove the cartridge until you have a replacement one ready for installation.
Buttons are: [Buy online...] [Cancel printing] [?]
(screenshot attached)
[?] leds to the words I've reported earlier.
I still have the "print just with the black cartridge" option enabled.
I tried cancelling the print and sending the print job again multiple times, as it is described in the guide, but no "Use black ink only?" message appears.
Before invoking and thinking to the "fraud", I ask, how am I going to be able to print, then?

The manual indicates the printer can temporarily use black only once a color cartridge is low. Once the cartridge is depleted it will need to be replaced, otherwise damage to the printed may occur.
HP and other printer manufacturers have different printer technologies for different needs.
Some have printheads built into the ink cartridges. These printers can typically print with one or more of the colors completely empty, or even with color or black (but not both) cartridges removed. The Deskjet 6980 series is an example.
Other printers have separate ink supplies and replaceable printheads. An example would be the Officejet 8600. The printhead in these printers can be replaced if they are damaged by running the printhead with colors out. Some of these printers will allow printing with a color out, other will not. If the printer is run without ink in one or more colors the printer may be damaged, but the user may be able to recover without having to send the printer for service.
Other printers have permanent printheads. To run these without some ink in all the colors would risk causing damage to the printhead due to clogs, air ingested in the printheadvor burned out printhead firing resistors. The Photosmart 3310 series is an example of this type of printer. For printers with fixed printheads this could require service to get the printer to print properly again when the ink is finally replaced.
The document here describes how ink is used. While the document is written for HP Inkjet printers the same principles apply to inkjet printers from other manufacturers.

Apex 4.2.2 PDF Printing with Apex 2.0 Listener

We recently installed Apex 4.2 with the Apex 2.0 Listener and can successfully print interactive reports and classic reports to PDF. I viewed Mark Sewtz PDF Printing with Apex 4.2.2 and saw how he is using third party tools to format reports. We have also looked into the Jasper Report Integration Toolkit, but have only got it working on the Tomcat environment, not WebLogic.
I'm trying to download a classic report in PDF format with our logo displayed at the header. In the print attributes section, there is a section for header. I've tried adding the following in the header section:
<img src = "http://hr.unm.edu/common/images/unm_dept_logo.gif">
No Logo Prints
#APP_IMAGES#unm_dept_logo.gif
Prints in header:
wwv_flow_file_mgr.get_file?
p_security_group_id=3930016164431413%26p_flow_id=106%26p_fname=unm_dept_logo.gif
#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#unm_dept_logo.gif
Prints in header: /i/unm_dept_logo.gif
I've also added the logo in the report region, prior to the columns printing, but no logo downloads to PDF.
Does the Apex Listener only render text? Is there any way to get the logo to print in the header without using a third party tool? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,
There are different options to include images in your PDF exports. What's important to understand though is that with the PDF export functionality we separate the formatting from the actual data. So the formatting is defined in your RTF or XSL-FO templates and the data is stored in the XML that APEX generates based on your report data. We have several formatting options exposed on the print attributes pages, i.e. you can define page formatting, dimensions, fonts, colors, etc - all of these are applied to what we call generic XSL-FO templates. Those templates are generic in that they can be used with different reports, having variable numbers of columns and variable column names. Those formatting attributes can not be used however with named column templates, such as those that you generate with BI Publisher or those third-party tools I talked about in my Blog.
So if you want to use these formatting options, you need a generic report layout - which you get out of the box using the built-in layout. But you also have the option to create your own generic report layout (see Shared Components -> Report Layouts). When creating a custom generic report layout, you'll get a copy of the built-in layout as a starting point. Once created, you can manually modify this layout to meet your needs. As you edit this template, you'll find a number of #....# substitution strings. This is what APEX uses at runtime to fill in your formatting values as well as to assemble your generic layout based on your result set.
Now one way to include your own image would be to add an image reference to this generic report layout. You can't use the page header or footer attributes on the print attributes page for that because the FOP rendering engine does not understand or translate HTML. It renders XSL-FO. So to add your own image reference, you need to use XSL-FO mark-up. If you want to add an image to your page header, look for the #PAGE_HEADER# substitution string in the "Page Template" attribute of your generic report layout. You should be able to find the following:
<fo:inline xsl:use-attribute-sets="page-header">
    #PAGE_HEADER#
</fo:inline>
Now assuming you have a file stored in your local images directory on localhost, you could add the following external graphic reference:
<fo:inline xsl:use-attribute-sets="page-header">
    <fo:external-graphic src="http://localhost:8080/i/cloud.gif" content-height="scale-to-fit" height="30px" content-width="150px" scaling="non-uniform"/>
    #PAGE_HEADER#
</fo:inline>
Once you're done with your chanages, save the report layout and edit your report. Go to the print attributes and select your generic report layout and then run your report page and export the PDF. Provided the APEX Listener is able to find this external image reference, it will now be included above your report in your PDF document.

Marc

Anything printed with firefox prints too small

anything printed with firefox prints too small. If I print and email it prints in the center top of the page and is just larger than a credit card. if I adjust the scale to 100% the it prints what could fit on one page onto 4 pages and prints a small portion in the center top of the page and is just larger than a credit card.

Ok i think i fixed this issues.
i went to about:config print.print_margin_bottom (and also left, right and top) and right clicked reset (it took out the previous 0.5 value). now the pages look normal on print preview without the large margin

How do I Configure Desktop Printer to scale to fit?

I love the feature of drag and drop printing and I often need to print many pdfs. However when I drag pdfs to the desktop printer icon it prints them on letter sized paper without scaling them to fit. I have configured the printer in the setup utility to print on tabloid but it still prints on letter with no scaling. How can I configure the desktop printer to scale to fit and select paper size? booya

Hi Daniel, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Doesn't your printer have a setting for the default size in it rather than just on the Mac?
What size are these in the first place?
I think the secret is to save the Tabloid size as a Default, but I don't have a Tabloid to test with, so I used Preview, (which you may end up having to use to drop on or Script to, dunno yet).
I made a new Page size of Tabloid...
Then saved as default...
You'll have to test this... not even sure it works to Scale to Size, but at least you could drop them on Preview then +p to see.

When printing grey scale on a MX882 printer, is the color ink used at all?

We set all of our home PCs to print gray scale on our printer, an MX882 (serial # ACAT48275) in order to not use so much color ink. That seemed to be working very well until the big black ink cartridge (the 226BK) emptied out. I didn't think anything of it because the small 225 BK cartridge was still full. The 225 BK is about 1/2 full now, but all of a sudden, the color inks (226C and 226M) are empty, with the 226Y 1/2 empty.
My question is, if the BIG black cartridge (226BK) empties, does it not "switch over" to the 225 BK? Or does is start "creating" black by using both magenta and cyan?
Thanks.
Mark

Hello.
If plain, letter sized paper is used, the printer should use the large black tank for grayscale printing. If specialty paper or duplex printing is used, the printer would use the dye based inks. If grayscale printing is not enabled, the printer may create 'composite' blacks by using mixtures of the color inks. This may occur when graphic or web-based printouts are performed.
The reason for the two different black ink tanks is for the different types of printing your unit is able to perform. They are not intended as backups to each other. The larger black tank is pigment based, and is primarily used for standard black text printing or output. The smaller black ink tank is dye based like the color inks, and is used for photo and graphics output.
If additional assistance is needed, feel free to call us at 1-800-OKCANON.

Howto avoid over-resolution when printing & Graphics.scale?

Hello,
The application I've created uses I Graphics.scale to generate thinner lines which act as cells of a grid.
The problem is that I've to print as thin lines as possible, but if I scale too much my lines aren't printed because the printer's DPI is lower than what I've set my Graphics2d object :-/
Are there any existing solutions to overcome this problem?
I would be really happy about any hints, since I was not able to find a solution ... really great would be if it the solution would be java-1.3 compatible.
Thank you in advance, lg Clemens

Hello,
thanks for your comment, but I had already this information. I want a good grey scale print with a low resolution because if you make the resolution high the file archives become quite big which costs money for hardware.
My personal impression is, that you can't solve this problem because it is problem of the printing drivers that SAP uses. So one has to look for better third party solutions or wait until SAP has better printing drivers.
Regards, Lars.

Limited functions printing with HP Officejet 4500....frustrated!!

I don't see any options to print gray scale or draft or a way to highlight and print only a section of a document. This is very frustrating to me as I've always been able to do this with pc print options.
Can you help me?

hi ergent7
I was confused about black and white printing when I first started using my hp printer in 10.6
you might want to check the preset in the printer dialog box. One of the presets may be black and white.
Image: !http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/7959/screenshot20100815at937.png!
If your printer dose not have a pre-set, you can make one:
Image: !http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/3339/screenshot20100815at939.png!
1) when you go to print, make sure the box is expanded. (so you see number of copies, printer orientation extra)
2)Right bellow orientation there will be a pulldown menu. The name of this menu changes, depending on witch application your in. For instance if your in safari, the pulldown menu will say "safari"
click on this menu, chose paper type/quality.
3) at the bottom there will be a small triangle next to the word "color options"
if you click on the triangle it will expand to show more color options.
4) one of the menu is "color" from the list chose grey scale
5) chose the radio button "black and white cartridge only"
6) go to the preset menu, chose save preset, Name the preset "black and white"
in the future all you will have to do to print in black and white is click on the preset menu and chose "black and white"

When printing from Preview, the document prints with large print and many lines added and pages added

When printing from Preview, the document prints with large print and many lines added and pages added. Why does this happen?

Thank you!!! That was the problem--scale was set at 200% (don't know why)--when I reduced it to 100% it printed perfectly.
Thanks again for helping me resolve this problem.

Hp Officejet 8000 Set to print Gray scale but still using color

Hp Officejet 8000 Set to print Gray scale and use only Black ink, Draft Quality, but still using color ink. I'm replacing color ink cart more often the Black. I understand even when set to black only it will still use some color in cleaning and such. but not the amount of color it is using now. Printer has me pissed total waste of money. I'm ready to get my Xerox Phaser solid ink printer fixed. as it was super cheap on ink.

Hello Lynn,
Is your network router located near your desktop PC and L7590 officejet?
If so, I would suggest that you connect the L7590 to the router with an ethernet cable(you can also leave your usb cable connected to the desktop). Then you can connect more directly (still through the network) to the L7590 with your dv7 laptop instead of connecting through the desktop. Since your dv7 is wirelessly connected to the router, and the L7590 is also connected (wired) to the same router, the setup is much easier.
If you want to try this, first download the software from hp.com (click here for the download page). When you run the installation on your dv7 notebook you will be guided through the steps necessary for connecting to the printer via the network.
Dont forget to reply and let us know how it goes!
