Can/can't set up printer?

-Here's what works: Plugging the HP Photosmart D1100 printer into an imac, connect to that imac using home-networking and use the printer.
-Here's what should/doesn't work: Plugging the printer directly into the Airport Extreme base station, connecting to the base station to use the printer.
It shows up in the print/fax in system prefs, but when I try to add it I get a message saying "software update needs internet access" providing a "network diagnostics" button, but network diagnostics tells me everything looks ok and brings me back to square 1. I'm tired of these circles and want it to work! I shouldn't have to rely on a computer that may be asleep; I should be able to access this printer with just the base station. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

I don't have 10.2 here in front of me, but I'm pretty sure of this:
Starting in either 10.1 or 10.2, appletalk is not available on the localtalk-capable printer or modem ports of G3 computers. Appletalk is only available on TCP/IP-capable connections (ethernet and PPP-modem).
You need to get the Pro 600 onto ethernet (an ethernet to localtalk bridge, for example)

Noise reduction using "Set Noise Print" in Process Menu

I have FCP 5.2 with Pro Tools and have searched the forum for the specific technique mentioned several times but NOT detailed out sufficiently for me. I want to remove a hiss and can isolate with ins/outs in the audio track where there is no voice. (this is a voice over produced clip).
I can click on the track and see the wave forms in the viewer. I can also edit the in and out playing only the his.
From what I gather, I can now somehow "set Noise Print" doing something (?) and then somehow (?) copy this noise to the entire click for removal. I know I could probably go through an extensive equalizing trial and error but if I could try this first, it may be just what I need.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks,

We would all love this to be an FCP question, because it would be fab if this could be done within FCP. But alas, it is a Soundtrack Pro feature. Select your clip and "Send To" Soundtrack and you'll find noise removal there.
I'm guessing Pro Tools does something similar, so if you're familiar with it maybe you want to look there.

HP Laserjet P2035n is set to print double-sided, but I can't change it in the preferences

Last week i downloaded and printed a PDF file. Since then, my HP Laserjet 2035n is set to print double-sided. Here are the details.
I'm running an HP Pavilion Laptop with Windows 7 Home.
The printer is set up as a network printer.
When I try to print something, it stops after one page waiting for me to re-feed the paper manually to print on the other side.
It's only this laptop that's messed up. My other computer prints fine
When I go to Printers, right click on the 2035n, and select "Printer Properties" and look at the bottom of the General tab, it reads under Features "Double Sided: Yes"
If I then click 'Preferences..." and go to the Finishing tab, under Document Options, the box "Print On Both Sides (Manually)" box is unchecked.
Here's what I've tried:
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the printer
I reinstalled the printer drivers
I have tried reinstalling under a different name
Any suggestions? Can someone tell me where the printer preferences file is so I can manually delete it then reinstall the printer drivers? Is there a tool for the P2035N to uninstal EVERYTHING related to it?
Thanks.
This question was solved.

Can you set the print margins in Preview?

Simple question: Is there a way to set the print margins when printing an image from Preview?
Thanks,

In the case of Photoshop, you are placing an image on a canvas and can position the image to suit. Word and Excel have a Page Setup menu that lets you set the margin positions - which know since you have got the output you wanted. There is no Page Setup menu for most, if not all, Apple applications like Preview. Instead parts of the Page Setup menu have been added to the print dialog but margins is not one of them.
EagleSongs wrote:

Understood. Unfortunately you don't get that option in Preview. The image will be centred - both horizontal and vertical - based on the paper size and the printer you have selected in the print dialog. You could create a custom paper size with the margins you want to position the image and then use that custom paper in Preview. But your workaround of using Word gives you more control over the positioning of the image.

How can I prevent Adobe PDF printer being set as default on first logon on a computer?

Hi all,
When a computer with either Adobe Acrobat X Pro or Adobe CS6 installed and a user logs on a computer for the first time the computer processes GPO's which define which print queues they are to use.
Unfortunately, once this is done, Adobe PDF Printer configuration kicks off, setting the Adobe PDF Printer as default. This is remedied by logging out and logging back in again, but this is annoying for the users (to say the least).
Since a lot of the users rarely use the same computer on a day to day basis, this is a common occurrence, and I would like to know how I can prevent the Adobe PDF printer from setting itself as default upon configuration.
Any and all suggestions are appreciated!

Hi Cato-L,
Are you trying to do on single machine or multiple machines.
Have you got any solution yet.

How can I set default printer options on an iMac for an HP pro 8500 printer to print in draft mode?

How can I set default printer options on an iMac for an HP pro 8500 printer to print in draft mode?

When you use the Canon driver, the 2 sided printing is set in a different location. There is an entire menu dedicated to it (at least on my mx892). The printer dialog box has a menu selector in the middle of the screen (I think it says "layout" by default). If you click on it, you will see the duplexing options at the bottom. Much more flexibility than the single checkbox available with "airprint". The interface is unusual (at least for me) but you can pre-set up many different configurations (Fast Duplex, Fine Single-sided, B&W, Photo, etc etc.)

Your printer emulation and the SAP device type for the output device must match.
For example, if you use IBM Proprinter emulation, then use device type IBM4232.
If you use Epson emulation, then you may have a look at note 1135053.

I have a Mac Air.. with 10.10 and just purchased a HP laserjet pro M201dw .. I can't get it to print duplex in pages or word. In pages not highlighted. does in Adobe for pdf. Help!

I have a Mac Air with 10.10 . Just purchased a HP Laserjet Pro M201dw printer. I can not get the duplex printing to work in Word or Pages. It does work for PDF files in Acrobat Pro. It won't for emails. In Pages I see two- sided but it is dimmed. I look at setups and it shows two -sided is off but can't find a way to change this setting. In the printer setting itself, the duplex box is checked. Need help. Did notice the driver only goes up to 10.9 but it says on Apple site of supported printers this one is listed.
Appreciate help in solving this issue.
Thanks in advance for anyone willing to give me some time and assistance.

All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

Can I connect a wireless printer to two wireless networks

I searched and couldn't find an answer to this exact situation. The answers to similar questions didn't seem to work.
Can we share a wireless printer over two wireless networks without adding hardware or changing the wiring or doing complicated software modifications?
Here is my set-up:
Cable Modem> Linksys Wireless Router “N” on the first floor > older AirPort Extreme “G” via ethernet cable on second floor > Laser Printer via USB Cable on the second floor, plus an AirPort Express to extend the area on the second floor. We have 2 MacBooks and 1 MacBookPro that connect to the internet via either of 2 wireless networks. Generally, for better connection, you choose “N” if you are on the first floor and “G” for the second floor.
Currently, if you want to print to the USB Printer, you just select it in the print dialog box. It does not matter if you are on Network “N” or Network “G.”
We just added a new wireless Printer that’s on the first floor. (No, I didn't read the directions, the printer screen said if there is a W?? button on your router, press it. I did and it automatically connected to the “N” network. It also has its own email address for printing without a computer, but that still doesn't solve this question.)
If you want to print to this printer, you must first change the computer’s AirPort setting to join the “N” network. If you don't, you still get the print dialog box, but eventually you will notice that nothing happens. The document just sits in the Printer’s queue.
Is there a way to get a computer on the “G” network to find the wireless printer on the “N” network without first changing networks?
Remember, it automatically finds the USB printer that is plugged into the “G” network router.

It used to be that if you wanted to wirelessly extend the range of a network, you'd have to set up a WDS. (WDS = Wireless Distribution System.) There was no "Extend a wireless network" option and no "Allow this network to be extended" checkbox—you'd have to fill out lots of WDS information yourself. It was sort of a pain.
Then, with the 802.11n AirPorts, Apple introduced the "Extend a wireless network" option, greatly simplifying the setup process. It accomplishes the same thing as a WDS, but it's easier to set up and has less overhead. However, it can only be used if every AirPort in the wireless network supports 802.11n.
Your Express may support 802.11n, but your Extreme is older and does not. So "Extend a wireless network" won't work for your network. That's why you got errors when you set the Express's "Wireless Mode" option to "Extend a wireless network." Instead, you'll have to do things the old-fashioned way* and configure the Extreme and the Express to be part of a WDS. Your network will still work as desired: the Express will rebroadcast the signal from the Extreme, and clients will connect to whichever station has the stronger signal. It's just that you'll be using the older WDS technology instead of the newer "Extend a wireless network" feature.
"Join a wireless network" is something different entirely. You'd use it if you wanted to connect to a network but not rebroadcast it. This could be useful when, for instance, your main router isn't an AirPort but you want to use AirTunes. In your case, however, this option wouldn't be very useful.
Look at [this thread|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2588489] for more information.
*Actually, the old-fashioned way would be to use modems. Or to forget about the internet and send snail mail instead.

HT3258 I have a Brother MFC-J4610DW and can't get it to print from my 2012 iMac over my lan.

I have a Brother MFC-J4610DW and can't get it to print from my 2012 iMac over my lan. It works with the macbook pro and iPad. The dialog box states "Setting up 'BrotherMFC-J4610..." Unable to communicate." I worked with the AppleCare guy for a couple of hours. We got it to print via USB but when we switched to ethernet hook up via Time Capsule it won't communicate or install the printer.

Try two things (separately, trying to add the printer in Print & Scan/fax prefs after each):
Reset the printing system:

Reset the router - power it off for 15 secs, then back on. Some routers cause these kinds of errors - not recognizing devices are present.

Photoshop CS can't show the actual print size & other bugs...

Although I have set in preferences my display's exact dots per inch (which is 92.72) , the rulers in mm and the real print size of the document, when I click on view print size, the document is displayed much smaller than the actual size! I have also set the printer (a virtual pdf printer) in A1 to avoid a possible scaling of the print size. So the software has all the required information, but still it can't figure out the actual print size! What do you guys think about that? I personally think that the developers couldn't figure out how to do a simple task either! Even though I work on photoshop CS occasionally, I have found too many bugs to mention. The most frustrating one, is that it suddenly stops responding to key shortcuts! Then I have to select everything from the menus or save, exit, restart and re-open the documents -now imagine being in the middle of a complicated task... Another huge annoying bug: When I "Select All" in order to copy a layer, if that layer happens to have some parts surrounded with transparency, Photoshop destroys their position and the image overall, by arbitrarily centering those parts in the pasted frame!!! Also, too often everything disappears temporarily if I pause for a second while I drag a selection rectangle etc. They haven't even made the cursor capable to move in a gray background without being invisible! So much for a "professional" expensive application! Note I have installed the available patches for this version. I know it's a bit old but as I said, I work occasionally and I don't wish to pay hundreds of euros almost each year for a new version upgrade while I'm not even happy with the previous one! BTW, on this thread editor when I hit "enter" to start a new line, the cursor goes at the beginning of the document! Now, are the Adobe's web developers drunk or what? Sorry, I cannot stand too much of stupidity right now...

Hm, your readings seem to imply Photoshop thinks your screen resolution is just about 128 pixels / inch. Not sure where it might be getting that number.
For what it's worth, on my Vista system I mocked up an image as you described above: An image of 3614 x 3196 pixels at 317.632 pixels per inch. My monitors display 100 ppi, and that's what I have set in the Edit - Preferences - Units & Rulers.
When I selected the zoom tool and clicked the [ Print Size ] button it zoomed to 31.48% and when I measured the display width with the ruler it came up 11-3/8", which is just about right.
HOWEVER... When I right-clicked the image with the zoom tool active, and chose Print Size it came up 8-1/4", which just happens to be about the same amount smaller than proper size that you're seeing. Sounds like a bona fide buglet in Photoshop CS.
I repeated the performance with Photoshop CS2. It works fine in CS2 - the [ Print Size ] button and right-click context menu entry both put the image up the same (proper) size.

Can I use Page to print address labels

I switched to a mac and used to print labels for my homeade wine using print shop or word. I used avery self-adhesive lables and printed 8 of the same label on each page. Can Page be set up to do the same thing?

If you did that in a Word document try opening it in Pages.

Do the same thing your doing to get each computer on the Internet, one takes turns connecting the cable.
If you want both computers on the Internet and printing at the same time, that's what a router is for.
Just sub one of the PC's above for a printer and you see the idea how it all works.
A Airport Express is Mac friendly method, but if you have computers that have no wireless capability then you will need a Airport Extreme for the Ethernet outports.
You can also buy a third party router from the PC store, that works too, but it's a bit more complicated and you have to install your own firmware updates manually, no Airport Utility to do it for you. But you save money.
The important thing is setting up the router securely, WPA and WEP are both cracked. New Mac's don't even support WEP encrypted because it's worthless and false security.
What you want is:
WPA(AES) Personal with two passwords, each 20+ random letter, number, symbol characters in length. One password is used for Internet access only the other for Admin router access only, this way a user can't crack the router.
Turn off remote access, don't use hidden network or MAC Address filtering, no defense.
The long passwords are needed to defeat brute force attacks using video card based software, this type of password will take thousands of years to crack.
You can learn more about wireless networking online, have a local PC/Mac guy set you up.
Your computers are much more secure behind a router than directly connected to Internet as the router is a dumb switch, like a large security guard, only allowing certain things to pass and beating down others who try.
Also you don't wear out your Ethernet port like what your doing now connecting the cable all the time.
Good Luck
