Cannot get default printer to operate correctly

No matter what I do, the default printer is not the one that comes up when I want to print from Pages - is there some switch or setting I need to click besides setting one printer as the default printer?

John,
It's a bug in Pages. It seems that if you make your first save with a different printer, you can never get it to go back to your default printer. You have no idea how disconcerting it is to issue the print command to my 400-page manuscript, and watch it start spewing it out on address labels.

  • I have requested and accepted the most current Firefox program updates with my windows vista system. They are not registering but I am told they are downloaded. Then I cannot get the printer option to work with any version of firefox. in English

    I have taken the firefox updates when offered to 4.4. I have the browser as an aside to Internet Explorer 9 as a backup browser. When I use Firefox I am being told my system is not up to date and I need a newer version. I download the version and keep getting told I am not current with firefox. When Firefox DOES work I cannot get any printer icon or settings to enable and allow the printing of a page. I have to use IE9 to get the printer to work. Using eBay I cannot get the uploading of pictures from my computer to consistently operate even though I use small JPG files under 500KB.

    There are a lot of IntelliTXT like ''ad'' pop-ups possible.
    If your current Adblock Plus filter settings aren't blocking some pop-ups then it is best to take this to the Adblock Plus forum.

  • I am using AI CS2 on an eMac and cannot get the print menu options to recognize the print features l

    I am using AI CS2 on an eMac and cannot get the print menu options to recognize the print features like? I need to use mirror feature and high quality printing and it will not work.

    It is an eMac. I have a corrupted font book. How can I fix/re-install/or download a new font book app? Most fonts that were in it work, some do not, but I cannot open it nor can I install fonts into it.  This happened after the eMac OS was upgraded from 10.3.9 to 10.4.11 and AI was upgraded to CS2

    With PrintGetPrinters(), I can get all printer in the list. If it is a bug, where to get the patch for 11.5?
    My pb build is 11.5.1 4608.
    Also, another alternative solution to get default printer with pb 11.5.1?
    Another is: is Pb 11 and Pb 12 can be installed on windows XP side by side?

  • Cannot get the printer to print

    I bought the printer last week, and set it up without a problem. It was working fine. I test printed it with both Google Cloud print, and eprint, and they both worked fine. Then, 2 days later, when I went to print something I actually needed, it would not print.
    Upon looking at the printer via website, it says that the jobs are being sent, but its just simply saying Failed. It is not giving any explanation. I have reset the printer to factory default, then reset all of the settings, and I still cannot get it to print. I have reset my computer, my router, unpluged and repluged everything, and still cannot get it.
    I have an HP Photosmart 7525. Please help. O_O

    If you haven't already tried, it might be worth removing web services from the printer and then re-enabling it. This will generate a new ePrint code for your printer. Then try removing your printer from your ePrintCenter account and adding a new one using the newly generated code. Removing and reinstalling web services is done from the printer front panel.
    Hope this helps.

  • Mac OSX Reader 10.1.2 – Cannot Change Default Printer From "Any Printer"

    With Mac Acrobat Reader 9.x it was possible to use Page Setup to set the default printer from “Any Printer” to one of our choice.  Once set it was possible to print many documents without having to go back and reset it every time.  In other words it would ‘remember’ the setting.
    Mac Acrobat Reader 10.1.2 does not remember the setting of the printer in the Page Setup dialogue and keeps reverting to "Any Printer" between printing; either from the same document or multiple documents.  Thus on each occasion I need to print I need to go to Page setup and reselect the printer.  Irritating, and time wasting.
    Now this would not matter if there were not a slight, but nevertheless significant, improvement in print quality between a document printed with the correct printer and “Any Printer” selected in Page Setup.
    NOW, before you all jump in with suggestions read this:
    1:  I do have the printer selected as the default printer in System Preferences (no difference anyway).
    2:  Selecting printer in the Print dialogue makes no difference to the print quality.  It MUST be selected in Page Setup.
    ADOBE, can you please get Mac Acrobat Reader X (10.x) to revert to the same behaviour as Reader 9.x ?
    Thank you.

    The same problem exists in Reader 11.0 for Mac.  In my case, it defaults to our specialty photo printer instead of the workhorse laserprinter.

  • I cannot get epson workforce to work correctly on imac mountain lion

    I have not been able to get the epson workforce to work on imac mountain lion.  I first tried using the epson software.
    Then read that I should do it from the mac's " printer/scan".
    Unfortunately when I get to the screen that says --add printer--- i cannot get workforce to appear.
    Can anyone walk me through it?
    I have it connected to my  netgear wireless router which is recognizing it on their management page?
    Help!
    Mahalo,

    First check to see if the device is compatilbe with ML, you can find that information at Mac Basics: Printing in OS X Mountain Lion & OS X Lion

  • We have a Lexmark Pinnacle Pro901 and cannot get the printer to work with airport express - any suggestions?

    Can anyone give us suggestions on how to get our Lexmark Pinnacle Pro 901 to work with airport express? We cannot get airport express to recognize the printer.

    Refresh all your devices before reconfiguring printer to connect to your computer.
    a Shutdown computer
    b Pull out printer power cord from the socket. Let it stay for at least 30 seconds then plug it back.
    c Powercycle your router (unplug your router for at least 30 then plug it back. This will not change the settings of the router. This will just refresh the device)
    d Once router is ready , put back brick at the back of the printer to turn it on
    e Wait one minute
    f Turn on computer
    Repair your disk permission: http://bit.ly/OeD7U3
    Run Cleanup tool http://bit.ly/vnukXY
    Download updated driver from Lexmark website http://bit.ly/ToA1fo
