Trouble accessing Paper Source in page settings db for Epson printer

I am trying to print on an Epson 7600 using a sheet of paper, but the default settings are for roll paper. I see the setting in the page attributes of the print dialog box, but cannot find a way to change it. I've tried the page setup (where it is supposed to be), the printer setup (no option available at all), and have followed every button option of every window. It is the same for apple Mail program as CS2, so I think it is a printer db problem, not photoshop.
ps, my epson C84 works fine... it is the 7600 default settings that are not accessable-
HELP! and thanks for you help-

my problem is now solved. I got with Epson support. We had to remove the printer from the printers/scanners in the Preferences section of the iMac HD after unplugging the usb cable. Then, we went to the disc utility in Applications folder and performed a disc repair. After that we connected the printer, rebooted, opened PE12/LR4.4 and, voila, the paper source and media type now contained the appropriate info. Something was not right in my system, one of those mysteries.

Paper Source by Page Size

I often print documents on letter or legal size paper. I'm currently switching my office over from Windows based products (and Acrobat 9 Standard) to Mac, and upgraded to the newest Acrobat as well.
When printing, I've noticed that the printer defaults to letter size documents for every PDF, even if the PDF is on legal paper. There is no option to select paper source by page size when printing.
However, for each document, I can go to Properties > Advanced, and there's an option for "Paper Source by Page Size." However, this only applies to the current document, and not future documents.
Am I missing something here? Why can't I default to select the paper source by page size? This was an option in Windows and Acrobat 9, so is this feature actually gone now?

Hi Andrew,
Apple made some pretty significant changes to the way that printers function when they released 10.6.
The setting you're looking for is completely controlled by the OS.
Choose Apple > System Preferences > Print & Fax.
Click on your printer and use the drop-down menu to change the default page size for your printer.

Paper source by page size not doing the trick

We are using Acrobat X on Windows 7.
Are there printing presets that allow for 8.5x11 to print as is, but limits larger pages to 11x17?
We have to deliver large PDFs to a commercial printer (so we'd like to save presets to file) for them to print a "book" for us. The pages we have compiled are of various sizes: 8.5 x 11, 11 x 17, 23 x 24, etc.
Our printer has 8.5 x 11 and 11 x 17 paper only, and so we'd like to limit the largest pages in our PDF to 11 x 17. When we use Paper source by page size preset, the 23 x 24's throw an error -- they want A4 paper.
We don't want to scale the 8.x5 x 11's up to 11 x 17.
Is there a solution?

Set Paper Source by Page Size for multi files

I have over 500 pdf files. How can I batch set "Paper Source by Page Size" in Print Dialog Preset for these files.
Thanks!

I am unable to select the correct paper size when printing photo's in iPhoto 11. When I select the paper size in the custom window for 4x6 prints the prints only appear on an 8 1/2x11 page. My Mac is a year old iMac running 10.8.2.

I am unable to print 4x6 photo's using iPhoto 11. When I do they only print out on lettter size paper even though I enter 4x6 in the custom window in the print size menu. My older Snow Leopard system using iPhoto 9 the paper size window offered a 4x6 paper size which worked well.

Selecting paper size in the first sreen tellis iPhoto what papery you are going to use - it does not tell the printer what paper to use - printer specific options on on the last (second or third if you customize the print) screen where you tell the print any specifics like paper source (typically printers need to you tell them where a specific paper is loaded - they do not really know the sizes in each paper tray)

I am having trouble printing multi-page documents on my Epson printer. 13" Macbook Pro, Adobe InDesign, Epson WF-7520

I have a multi-page document and I want to print some of the pages, double-sided, to check my work. I can't seem to get the interface to recognise that I want to print a specific range of pages, so it will print just one page [no double-sided] or, I assume, it will print the WHOLE LOT [not good at this stage!] HEEEELLLLPPP!!
To explain, the dialogue box which opens when you hit Command+P has an option of 'Pages' or 'Range' but 'Range' gives you only two options: All Pages or A4V. If I click the 'Printer' button I get another dialogue box with more options and from there I can choose to print 'All' or 'Pages' . . . and you change 1 to 1 to say, 1 to 3 for example. There is also an option to print double-sided. But nothing seems to be working and as soon as you finish with this second dialogue box it seems to forget every parameter you choose there. The summary page on the first dialogue box also seems suspiciously sketchy on details of what, exactly, it is about to print. By the way I have installed the latest driver set from Apple for this printer. Is anyone else having the same problem?

Thank you so much Eric. I did what you said. I still had the same result, but finally [somehow] I ended up clicking on something which doesn't even look clickable - this is a tiny set of back- and forward arrows in the 'Range' option. Using this feature seems pretty hit-and-miss but I persevered and was able to get it to accept my parameters, i.e. "1 - 2" in range. You have to go into the second ["Printer"] dialogue box each and every time you print, to enable two-sided printing. At last I was able to get it to print pages 1 and 2 of my three-page document. Now maybe I can test-print pages from my 108 page tome! Fingers crossed . . .

No Print Settings for Epson printer

I have an Epson 1400, and it was working fine this morning. I usually go to Print Settings to select my glossy paper. But just now, when I went to print, and tried to click the Print settings... button, nothing happens. I have tried using Software Update and installed the latest Epson Printer Software, and tested several other applications, and the printer is connected and working fine in those.
This is PS 12.1 for Mac.
Thanks

Well, looks like I'm dumb. I misread Solution 1. It suggested that I Choose Printer Manages Color, return to Photoshop Manages Color, and then choose Print Settings. This worked perfectly after I realized it meant PS couldn't use the printer to manage color in the case of my printer.
Anyway, you saved my you-know-what!
Thanks again,
J.

HP laserjet 400 M401 dne will not work with Word 2010 paper source other pages

HP laserjet 400 M401 dne connected via USB to Dell 980 with Windows 8.1 (64 bit) using HP laserjet 400M401 PCL 6 class driver. In Word 2010 Go to print settings and paper tab. The printer has two trays set first page option to one tray and "other pages" to the other tray and it will always print all pages to the first page option. All paper tray settings on the printer to automatic and letter and plain. If set the printer setting to tray 2 and the word setting for other pages to tray 1 that does not help either. Unable to find a setting scenario where the other pages will print to another tray.

Hi Travis,
This sounds more like a Graphic Driver or Graphics Card problem. You might try switching out the Graphic Card if that is possible on the system.
Another outside possibility might be a corrupt user profile, so you could create a different profile on the machine and try it. However, my guess would be the Graphics Card is failing.
Are you also certain there are no other Office add-ins loaded that might be causing this. Start Word in Safe Mode and see if this clears the problem. If it does, then systematically disable add-ins one at a time until the culprit is found.
Hope this helps
Kind Regards, Rich ... http://greatcirclelearning.com

Is Pages Good Enough For Professional Printing?

I'm looking to do an Large Format Brochure (11" x 17") single fold and I've been using Pages for the mock up and layout. I was thinking that I would need someone to recreate the design in Quark, or Pagemaker, but now I'm wondering if I can do it all in Pages.
The printer that I plan on using is PSPrint (http://www.psprint.com/) and according to their offset printing specs and template, I just have to provide them with a 300dpi PDF. From what I've tested, exporting to PDF with quality set at "Best" I get a 300dpi file.
I haven't tested my output with photographs yet since we haven't purchased the final images and are using comps, but am I wrong in thinking that Pages is good enough for this project?
Template: http://www.psprint.com/DOWNLOAD/templates/brochures/brochurehalffold_11x17front.pdf
Thanks in advance!

There is no way to save out of Pages to pdf without flattening the transparency.
Proposition: In any save path, transparency is flattened in saving.
Test of proposition: Apple Pages '08 and Apple Mac OS X 10.4.11 as platform.
1. Launch system software and application software.
2. Insert first composition frame, select Apple Hoefler antiqua at 24 US pt, enter 'Type', leave default colour, leave default opacity.
3. Insert second composition frame, select Apple Hoefler antiqua at 24 US pt, enter 'Transparency', change default colour to rubrication red, change opacity to 50%.
4. Select e.g. File > Print > PDF > Save as PDF, name file 'Test', and select folder.
5. Launch Acrobat Professional 6 (first version with ISO 15930 PDF/X-3 verification), check the PDF version (: 1.4), check at high magnification (: no rasterisation), check that the source character string can be synthesised (: it can).
As posted previously, if transparency is applied, PDF 1.4 is automatically configured unless the path is ISO 15930 PDF/X-3 that does not support transparency (PDF 1.3 has an opaque imaging model, not a transparency imaging model). This is a simplistic test, but it is nonetheless a test.
Because Apple Quartz has applied transparency since 2000, and because there the matrix of system versions and application versions is somewhat monstrous, the notion of testing is somewhat notional .

Printed page smaller than page settings

Hi. Not sure if anyone's got experience with this, but for some reason in Office 2008, Word seems to have reduced the size of the page layout settings by about 30%. In other words, with page layout set to A4 sized paper, the print preview and actual printed page both act as if the print area is smaller than the actual page. The font is reduced, the space between lines, everything. So, although the font is set to 12 point, it comes out much smaller. I've checked page settings on both the printer and Word preferences (both are set to A4), updated the printer driver, and everything else I can think of. When I go back to my previous version of Word, no problem. Can anyone comment? Thanks.

Have you checked the default setup in like TextEdit under Page Setup, or made a new Default Page Size?

Why is the scroll function not working after accessing the voice feature in settings?

Why is the scroll function not working after accessing the voice feature in settings?

For some prerecorded audio files the Transpose slider will not work reliably. I found no clear pattern, when it does and when not.
If all fails, create a loop from the audio file. Select the region in the track and use the command "File: Add region to Loop library".
Set the current key and tempo, name the loop, and save the loop.
Now add it from the loop browser to a new track and delete your old track. The search field in the Loop browser will help you to find the loop quickly.
You will be able to transpose the sample as described above, like a regular loop.
For example - a audio file turned into a loop and transposed:

Choose paper source by pdf

I have a printer that seems to process all jobs sent to it incorrectly if the "choose paper source by pdf" option is selected. it prints in a corner in a thumbnail and backwards when this is selected. everything is fixed when I uncheck this option. Problem is, this setting keeps beingly randomly reset. The printer isn't one thats in heavy use but it appears after a reboot or within a few days the setting drops off (since the user doesnt use this printer everyday this may be happening with each reboot) is there a way to disable this via registry? or some default printing option within reader that can be set to prevent this option from resetting itself?

Anyone?

Paper source ignored when printing from RDC in CR XI R2

Post Author: Aris Schlingmann
CA Forum: Migration to XI R2
We use the printout() method to print a report from the RDC.Before CR XI (R2?), the paper source that was set in the Windows printer driver was used to print the report. For example, if the printer was configured to print on Tray 2, the report was actually printed on this tray.Now we use CR XI R2, the configured paper source is ignored using the printout() method and the report is printed on the default tray.This behaviour does not occur when the report is printed from the ActiveX viewer, in that case the report is printed on the correct tray.Does anyone experience the same behaviour? Is it a CR XI R2 bug?

Post Author: ISoengas

I have observed the same behaviour using CR XI.Now I'm waiting for a solution, because I don't want to use the ActiveX print method.

Photo paper doesn't want to pull through the printer

My Photosmart 6520 doesn't want to pull photo paper. For 4x6's I set it to photo tray and check 4x6 paper. I am using HP premium quality paper. It pulls from the plain paper tray. I take out the plain paper and it says out of paper. I tried several times. Just can't get it to work. When I try letter size photo paper, it drags and won't feed. it is like the paper is too thick. I have been dealing with this since I bought it and I am very discouraged. I tried calling support. They said I had a computer problem. I am not buying that. It prints great as long as I don't use photo paper. Any one have an idea?

hicogal,
Welcome to the HP Forum.
If you have not already done so, you might double check the following settings.
Note the Media selection that tells the printer to expect the "thicker" photo paper from the photo tray.
Control Panel > icon view > Devices and Printers > Right-Click on your Printer >
Printing Preferences > tab Paper / Quality >>
Select Paper Source > Photo Tray (if applicable for your model / this paper selection)
Select Paper Size > 4X6" (tab) *
Select Media > HP Advanced Photo Paper
OK
* Select "tab" if your paper provides the tiny indented tab on one end
Example - Using Windows Photo Viewer
NOTE that Fit picture to frame is NOT checked
