Cannot change from default printer in Acrobat X by code

pp.printerName = "\\\\print server\\printer"; works flawlessly in Acrobat 9 Standard but will not change from default printer in Acrobat X Standard unless run in the console. I've checked the printer names through the console and they are listed correctly. Javascript enable menu items is checked. I've even tried creating trusted functions (which still work flawlessly in Acrobat 9, but not in Acrobat X). All other printer settings in Acrobat X change as coded once the printer is changed manually.
Any suggestions?

function printFullPEng() {
var pp = this.getPrintParams();
var pSize = this.getPageBox("Crop");
if (pSize[1] > "792") {pp.printerName = "\\\\print-server\\HP Designjet 4000 HPGL2/RTL (Copy 1)";}
else {pp.printerName = "\\\\print-server\\TOSHIBA 4520C PCL6 - Engineering";};
pp.NumCopies = 1;
pp.pageHandling = pp.constants.handling.none;
fv = pp.constants.flagValues;
pp.flags = (fv.setPageSize);
this.print(pp);
This is tied to a menu button. As I say, it works flawlessly in Acrobat 9, but will not change printers in Acrobat X.

  • Cannot change from System Default Printer

    Using Windows XP (still, I know) and Adobe Reader XI, I am unable to switch from the default printer to another printer in Adobe Reader. I am able to do this in all other applications except Reader.
    I can change the default printer in Windows, open Reader and print to another printer, but the print dialog box doesn't allow me to change the default printer.
    I can select another printer from the drop down box. Then, I'm unable to open the printer settings dialog. If I click print, it sends the job to the default printer instead of the one I've chosen.
    The issue persists for multiple users on this pc even after creating new user profiles in Windows. I have about 10 printers installed on this machine and this happens with all of them. Different makes and models (Brother & Konica Minolta mostly) and also the default Microsoft XPS printer all do the same thing.
    TD;LR: I can only print to the Windows default printer.

    function printFullPEng() {
    var pp = this.getPrintParams();
    var pSize = this.getPageBox("Crop");
    if (pSize[1] > "792") {pp.printerName = "\\\\print-server\\HP Designjet 4000 HPGL2/RTL (Copy 1)";}
    else {pp.printerName = "\\\\print-server\\TOSHIBA 4520C PCL6 - Engineering";};
    pp.NumCopies = 1;

  • Acrobat changes my default printer

    I have Acrobat 9 pro installed as part of the CS4 web premium suite. I'm using the pdf maker toolbar in microsoft word to output a pdf.
    Everytime I do this Acrobat decides to change my default printer to Adobe PDF which is really annoying. I did a little bit of searching and found others complaining about the same thing, but no solutions.
    Anybody.
    If it matters Windows XP Service Pack 3, Word 2003 SP1, Acrobat 9.1.0 pro

    Thank you very much for the timely reply.
                I am not sure what is causing it myself, well I guess that's pretty obvious.  I got really confused by your explanation and I do appreciate you taking time to clarify your answer.
                The last time it happened it wasn't after selecting a printer in word or any other such program. I had gone in and made sure it was set to default on my networked printer and then I printed some text notes I created in notepad. After that I went to a web page to print out a coupon for my wife and that's when I noticed that it had again been changed to the Adobe PDF printer?  So I'm kind of, well not kind of, I'm very confused as to what is resetting my default printer??
                I assumed since it has happened in such a variety of situations that it had to be some sort of a win 7 issue? But I am not real good at this sort of troubleshooting.  Is there any chance that this kind of non-invasive event would be noted in the event logs somewhere?
    Thanks again for the response

  • How do I change my default printer to print in grayscale?

    How do I change my default printer to print in grayscale using a MacBook Air?  I have gone to "system preferences" and "printers & scanners."  However, there is absolutely no option to change the print color scale.  I see that option when I go to a document & print, but I don't want to go through the hassle of changing to "gray scale" every time I print.  Thanks so much in advance!!

  • Is there a way to print a pdf to a pdf without changing your default printer?

    With the recent Adobe update (current version Adobe Pro XI Pro (1637-0001) 11.0.00), there were some changes that have caused a program my company uses to distort all or part of a pdf once it has been imported. We have found a work around. However, the work around is now becoming time consuming with the amount of files we deal with on a daily basis. Is there a way to print a pdf to a pdf without changing the default printer to the Adobe printer? (this is our work around solution).
    Thanks!

    For what you are trying to do, probably not. You have to open Acrobat and go to the print menu to select the Adobe PDF printer if it is not the default. The only possibility that I can think of (you will have to try it to tell if that is the case) is to drag the PDF to the Adobe PDF printer and see if it prints. This used to work, but I just tried it in Win7 and it did not do the job.

  • Fast_start_mttr_target has NOT been changed from default

    I did a raccheck on my new installed RAC nodes. OS is linux redhat, oracle version is 11.2.0.3.
    raccheck results has one : fast_start_mttr_target has NOT been changed from default.
    Our existing unmigrated system has not set up fast_start_mttr_target.
    Do we need to setup this parameter?

    The fast_start_mttr_target enables you to specify the number of seconds the database takes to perform crash recovery. You need to set optimal value.

  • How can I change the default "Print to File" location from the Mozilla Firefox directory?

    I have looked all over the Internet to find the solution to change the default of the location Firefox create the files created from the Print to File option. I have modified all of the instances of "print_to_filename" as one forum suggested. But, that was unsuccessful.

    Autre façon : Ouvre un nouveau document. Il va être en A4. Dans le menu Fichier--->Format d'impression. Une fenêtre apparaît. Dans la ligne... Taille du papier, tu choisis... Lettre US; tu fais OK. Ensuite tu sauves ce document comme modèle. Menu Fichier----> Enregistrer comme modèle et tu lui donnes le nom, par exemple... USLettre.
    Ensuite, va dans le menu Pages, va dans préférences et dans la fenêtre qui s'ouvre - Préférences générales - tu choisis : Utiliser le modèle... et tu cliques sur Choisir... à droite un peu en bas de Utiliser le.... et là, dans la fenêtre qui va apparaître, tu trouves le modèle que tu viens de faire...USLettre.
    Voilà. Chaque fois que tu vas ouvrir Pages, ce sera USLettre qui sera là par défaut.
    J'espère que ça va te satisfaire.
    Évidemment l'idéal serait de pouvoir changer la template Vierge par une template Vierge US... mais j'ai pas encore réussi.

  • Printer install, test print ok, will not print anything else, cannot select as default printer

    Printer installs fine, test pages, alignment pages, colour print pages all test fine, they are selected to print from the option on control panel. Trying to print from any other program, the printer is not listed as an option. Going through control panel, try selecting it as default printer, following messge given :
    Operation could not be completed (error 0x00000709). Double check the printer name and make sure the printer is connected to the network.
    Printer connected via USB direct to my single laptop. Uninstalled and re installed, as per troubleshooting instuctions. Ran troubleshooting program and HP print and scan doctor.  Only info given was that it was not default printer, when asked to fix the problem it states it cannot.
    Had a previous HP printer scanner, all removed (it broke, hence the new one), never had a problem with the install, this new one is being a real pain, any help would be appreciated

    Hello again mattcpx ,
    I think what we are going to need to do is start right from scratch.  Seeing that the only printer listed is generic printer icon from Windows 7(This icon does nothing for the printer you have installed), we are going to uninstall your printer and do a proper re install.
    Lets start off by removing the usb cable from both the printer and from the computer and leave it disconnected until further notice. 
    The first link I have for you gives detailed instructions for Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Once the uninstall is complete, please reboot the computer so that the changes take affect.
    When the computer is back on, disable any firewalls or anti virus protection that you may have running.
    Please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    Do a power cycle on the printer with the use of the on/off button.  This will do a semi power reset on the printer.
    The next step that we are going to take is to download and save the HP Officejet 4630 e-All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Drivers to the desktop of the computer.  This will create a new icon on the computer and make the download easy to find.
    Double click on the new icon and follow the installation instructions.  The installation will prompt you when to connect the usb cable so please do NOT connect it before hand.
    Let me know how you make out.
    If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.

  • Where is my text box in final cut pro? I cannot change the default text at all?

    Hi, as the title says, I use a default final cut pro title or ending for a video and I cannot change the text, all youtube tutorials just show that you click on the text box, the boxes appear, and then to the right in the text window you literally just type and change it, which ive done several times before, but I just got a new mac, and now that is impossible to do, what can I do? I dont want to upload videos that say, TEXT GOES HERE

    hey andy,
    i think what you're gonna have to do is just hit command 4!
    That should bring up the inspector where you can change the font!

  • Changing the default printing order

    How do I change the printing default order from "back to front" to "front to back"? Until now, I change it every time I print more than 1 page, but I'd like to change my default. I've looked at all of the Edit Preferences and can't find the option I'd like to change.

    Take a look in the Export Action script of whatever adapter you are using. This is where the output format is defined.
    Forgot to mention if you are using the Essbase adapter you can do this via setting the calc sequence for each dimension which will determine the order it is displayed in the output file. This can be set in the workbench or web client

  • Cannot change from member name to alias description in Smartview

    I am connected to an Essbase datasource using version 11.1.1.3 of Smartview and Excel 2007. I click on the Hyperion tab, the Options button on the ribbon, go to then the Display tab and all of the Member Name Display options window is greyed out. Member name only is selected by default but I cannot change it (because all options are greyed out). I haven't seen this before.
    Note that I am NOT trying to display Member Name AND Alias, I am just trying to change my select from member name TO Alias and cannot (I only have one alias table: Default). I have added the Essbase datasource to my favorites as suggested on another post where numerous users are having the same issue and doesn't make any difference. There is another post regarding this issue that is listed as having a solution but that solution is not the solution to the problem described by everyone in that message thread.

    Member Name Display Options will only be enabled if you connect to a database that has an outline containing duplicate members.
    If your Essbase system permits the use of duplicate member names, you can choose whether to display member names with or without their descriptions or aliases.
    To check if your Outline does allow duplicate members, follow these steps:
    1. Open the outline in edit mode.
    2. Go to the Properties tab.
    3. Go to the"Duplicate member names allowed" node you will see a value of either true or false.
    To see the descriptions in SmartView if you are using duplicate members, follow these steps:
    1. Open Connection Manager.
    2. Connect to your application.
    3. Right click on the link of your application.
    4. Choose "Change Alias table".
    5. Choose the table e.g. "Default".
    6. Click OK.

  • Is there a way to change the default print tray on an HP LaserJet 500 color M551 Printer

    Hi
    Is there a way to setup the default print tray for a HP LaserJet 500 color M551 printer to be tray 2 printing both online and direct?
    If so what would be the best way to go about implementing it?
    Thanks
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Usually, you can change the default paper trays through the control panel and through the Embedded Web server (EWS).
    Check the settings on your control panel. Here is a link to the User Guide, check out page 94 and see if that helps you out.
    m551 User Guide
    For the EWS, put the printer IP address into your browser, then go to the tab that would list tray settings. Not sure exactly which tab has it for this printer series, but on other printer series it is on the system tab under paper setup.

  • CR XI R2 Sp6 - How do you change the default printer used by the Viewer?

    CR XI R2 Sp6
    .NET
    VS2005, C++
    The app selects printer for the job as m_Report->PrintOptions->PrinterName = ss_Device;
    This works nicely for printouts to the printer, but is ignored by the viewer. There, the machine default printer is always selected when I hit the print button.
    Found this which is sortof similar:
    http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1275149
    Is there any way to fix this? If no, then is it fixed in more recent versions of CR?

    All of that above can be changed at runtime, but you'd somehow need to figure out what the default printer driver is on each machine and then assign it to the report.
    Yes,but that is exactly what I do. The app normally uses the Windows default printer just as any C++/MFC app will do. On the file menu there is an option to select printer which calls CWinApp::OnFilePrintSetup(); which sets the application default printer setup.
    In the app there is a function to retrieve the default printer:
    CString CLpApp::GetDefaultPrinter()
         PRINTDLG     pd ;
         CString          printer("Failed") ;
         pd.lStructSize = (DWORD)sizeof(PRINTDLG) ;
         BOOL bRet = GetPrinterDeviceDefaults(&pd) ;
         if (bRet)
              // protect memory handle with ::GlobalLock and ::GlobalUnlock
              DEVMODE *pDevMode = (DEVMODE*)::GlobalLock(m_hDevMode) ;
              printer = pDevMode->dmDeviceName ;
              ::GlobalUnlock(m_hDevMode) ;
         return printer ;
    When I print, I do:
    void CSkrivDlg::StartReport(CLpReportJob^ jobb)
         jobb->SelectPrinter("",theApp.GetDefaultPrinter(),"");
         if(m_tillSkrivare)
              jobb->OutputToPrinter(1);
         else
              jobb->OutputToWindow("Fönsternamn", 0, 0, 200, 200, 0, NULL, NULL);
    This works correctly for OutputToPrinter(1);, but not for OutputToWindow() which are simply wrappers for the CR functions:
    bool CReportJob::OutputToPrinter(int nCopies)
         bool rc = true;
         try
              m_Report->PrintToPrinter(nCopies,true,0,0);
         catch (Exception ^e)
              TRACE("
    %s",e->Message);
              m_LastError = e->Message;
              rc = false;
         return rc;
    // OutputToWindow()
    // a,b,c,d = Fönsterkoordinater eller noll för default
    // style = flaggor för fönsterposition
    // window = fönster efter vilket vi dyker upp
    // child = rapportfönstrets handle om vi vill ha den
    bool CReportJob::OutputToWindow(CString Namn, int a, int b, int c, int d, int style, CWnd* window, CWnd **child)
         bool rc = 0;
         CString title="Dummy1";
         title = m_Report->SummaryInfo->ReportTitle;
         CFloaterDlg *Floater = new CFloaterDlg(NULL);               // TODO: Get window
         Floater->Create(IDD_FLOATER_DLG, NULL);
         if(Floater != NULL)
              m_Report->ExportOptions->ExportFormatType = CrystalDecisions::Shared::ExportFormatType::PortableDocFormat;
              Floater->m_Viewer->ReportSource = m_Report;
              Floater->m_Viewer->Zoom(theApp.m_ScreenZoom);
              // Sätt fönsterrubrik från rapporten
              Floater->SetWindowText(title);
              // Puffa på så att den kan ändra storlek på Crystal-kontrollen
              Floater->Size();
              // Visa fönstret om det är stängt
              if(!Floater->IsWindowVisible())
                   Floater->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
              rc = true;
              if (child!=NULL) *child=Floater;
         else
              AfxMessageBox("Kunde inte skapa fönster för utskrift",MB_OK);
              rc = false;
         return rc;
    Floater is simply a dialog that holds the Viewer control.
    For some reason does the Viewer not obey the printer selection done in the report

  • Adobe Reader changes Windows default printer?

    Hello.
    Currently our customers are complaning about the anomaly, that the default printer is sometimes changed after printing *.pdf's with Adobe Reader. I have never heard of a problem like this before and am even not able, to confirm this behaviour.
    That is why I want to ask you, if you have ever heared of something similar like this. Under which circumstances does Adobe Reader print on another non-default printer automatically? Btw. I don't know how to handle this problem so far.
    Yours,
    Moeki.

    Interesting! What was the color scheme prior to launch? Does this problem happen on every launch of Reader X? What if you restore the color scheme and re-launch Reader? If possible can you stick a screenshot of the issue you just described.
