Can I make my default printer change when I change location

How do you make automatically change printers when you change network locations? If it is possible I sure don't see how. Seems like I could do this in OS9 but I didn't need it then.

I haven't tried it, but I've seen it advertised:

    How can I set the default print settings of my document as color.  I want the default print setting to be color when someone opens a document.  similar to duplex print preset is there a color print preset?

    Hi,
    Try saving your settings as a Preset by clicking the Preset drop down and then select Save Current Settings as a Preset.
    Next try changing the settings by selecting the saved preset.
    That allow saving the settings for a specific printer, I assume it may also allow selecting these settings for another printer.

  • Can I make layers default to the top when I drag and drop into a new folder?

    Can I make layers default to the top when I drag and drop into a new layer folder instead of the bottom? It annoys me that they always go to the bottom and I inevitably always need them at the top.
    Thanks

    Hi there
    ok so PS CS6 if I grab a layer in Group A (yes layer sets sorry) and drop it into Group B, itll put it under anything thats already in Group B, which annoys me! Is there a way of telling PS to default anything dragged from one group to another to default the newly added layers to the top

    If you are describing the settings in System Preferences on your iMac, you need to turn those OFF. Your current setup has the iMac acting as the print server.
    Instead you want to rely on the Time Capsule to do the printer sharing. You would configure that using AirPort Utility.
    Thanks Duane, that bit of information did the trick. All I had to do was turn printer sharing off in sys prefs and it now works the way I thought it should work.
    Once again thanks so much for the help.

    Can I set it to my web site for example so that people have to go there when they connect?

    Hello EireReality. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Can I set a default home page when people use my router?
    No, at least not that I'm aware of. Setting a "default home page" is typical feature of a web browser, not an Internet router.

    I have created a spreadsheet on numbers for ipad with a list of customers as a drop down menu. How can i make their address appear underneath when I select the customer?
    iselect the customer?

    Hi bazza,
    We won't be able to put the address from a formula into the same cell that you enter the customer's name. We can put the address in the cell under the customers name.
    First let's take James advice and concatenate the address in the address table.
    Here is the formula in G2
    =CONCATENATE(B2&"
    ",C2&"
    ",D2&"
    ",E2)
    It shows this way because after I clicked on B2 and typed [&"] (no brackets) I typed option-return
    This gives you your new line. Then I typed the closing ". I repeated this for the rest of the address.
    Next we want to bring this to your order sheet. I prefer using the two formulas OFFSET and MATCH instead of VLOOKUP.
    base tells OFFSETwhere to start counting from. Click A1.
    row-offset is for the row. we will use MATCH() -1 to give us the row.
    What MATCH does is give you the row number where something is found and you can specify an exact match. I usually construct the MATCH formula first and then cut and paste it into OFFSET. MATCH looks like this: MATCH(A2,Table 1::A,0). A2 is what we are looking for, Table 1A::A is where we are looking (the entire column A), and 0 means we want an exact match. Can you see it inside the OFFSET formula? Notice that we had to subtract 1 from its result.
    column-offset tells OFFSET which column A=0 so we want 6.
    we ignore "rows", "colomns" we don't need them.
    If this seems like too much, just break it down into small pieces.

  • Why didn't my iCloud account name change when I changed my Apple ID?

    Why didn't my iCloud account name change when I changed my Apple ID (because I got a new email address)?

    It doesn't change on your device automatically.  To change the iCloud ID on an iOS device you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
    To change the ID on your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with the new ID.

  • When using 2 printers at 2 locations. Rather than make sure the correct printer is shown when I print is there a way to make one change when I change locations?s there a way to

    I have 2 residences each with a printer. When I move from one place to another and try to print I always have to make sure the correct printer is shown in the print window. What can I do to make one change on my MacBook Pro when I change locations so I am not bothered with this nuisance problem?

    There was a way from OS9 location manager to set a default printer for any given location. This is not the case in OSX.
    You can however, easily change the default printer in Terminal.app with lpoptions -d PRINTERNAME. To view all the printers type lpstat -p. Keep in mind that the name in lpstat -p may be a little different than the name in Printer Setup Utility. You must use the lpstat -p, PRINTERNAME when changing it in Terminal.app. Of course, if the names are the same, you don't need to worry about it.

  • Default printer on domain computers changes when print spooler is restarted

    Hi.
    It has been brought to my attention that all of my Windows 8.1 machines on our domain change their network default printers when the print spooler is restarted.  Printers are being assigned by group policy, using the print management tool, as Branch
    Office Direct IP printers.  
    A little bit of research indicates that the default printer is changing "BY DESIGN!!!???" to the last printer being assigned in the OU.  Gotta say....if this is by design, it's a bad design!  As well as unacceptable.  Then I discover
    that the default printer precedence is something like 1. Locally installed printers, 2. Software installed printers, 3. Network printers in reverse order that they are assigned in the OU.  COME ON!!  I.e., changing the order of assignment in the
    OU is useless because local printers and software installed printers are still taking precedence, and on every log in the users default printers are being changed to something as useless as WebEx Document Loader.  
    I know this is a radical thought.....but how about if the default printer stays set to whatever the user sets it to??  That way, they won't hate me and curse me.  Selfish, I know.
    I am shocked by the lack of information that I am finding for this simple and sensible option, and am accordingly loosing faith in Microsoft by the day, and beginning to feel that the end really is nigh for this platform, because I seriously don't appreciate
    absorbing hostility that is better directed at them, and self-preservation instincts do eventually kick in.    
    Can somebody tell me how to prevent user selected default network printers on domain computer's from changing when the users log off, before the lynch mob gets here?
    To be clear, these are domain computers.  Users are not administrators.  Printer assignments are made via group policy.  Users do not wear glass slippers (so solutions requiring manipulation of special footwear will not be effective).  
    THANKS

    Hi,
    Please refer to this similar thread Althornin's solution to add the registry to see if it could be fixed.
    Go and edit the users registry hive:
    HKEY_USERS\USERS_SID_HERE\Printers\Connections
    Found old printer connections there that were no longer valid.  Upon clearing those out, after a reboot, the problem went away.
    I also cleared out the HKEY_USERS\USERS_SID_HERE\Printers\Settings key - the users had old printer setting sid there also.

    Denny,
    Open Image Capture which is located in your Applications Folder.
    Connect your device to your computer, then turn the device on.If the device is locked with a passcode, enter it.
    Select the device in the Devices list.
    Choose Image Capture from the “Connecting this [device] opens” pop-up menu.Click “Show device settings” if you don’t see that pop-up menu.
