Change printer setting to colour with activeX

Hi
I have an odd problem.
I create a report in excel with in LV. The I'd like to have it printed. But the printer settings are set to gray on default.
How can I set the printer settings to colour before printing?
Thanks for any help.
Yves

In this way you really work in Excel through the ActiveX interface. So you will have to try to find an ActiveX interface in Excel that allows to do printer settings. There seems to be something promising when going from _Application.Active Dialog.Page Setup.Black and White. But how that all works I'm not sure.
Something like this should probably work. It's untested but should get you into the right direction.

Need automator or applescript to change a setting in Safari with a keypress

I'm new to applescripting and automator, so bear with me. I found a .css file that stops annoying ads, flash ads, etc in Safari. It's great and makes the pages load faster and clean. And to implement it, you just have to click on "preferences" (in Safari), then "advanced" and enable or disable custom style sheets. I know from experience with Omniweb and Camino that sometimes when you block all flash and ads that some webpages don't load correctly. Some guys say they just keep two browsers running and when the one that loads clean doesn't bring up things they want, they just open the standard browser and reload the page. That's a lot of work. It would be easier to change the advanced preferences in Safari to either run the .css file or not with the press of a key. Does anyone have a clue how to make, say an Fkey to toggle, or two Fkeys (one turns on style sheet and one turns off) to do this task? Thanks for any help.

Setting Background Colour with a Value Retrieved from a Database

I'm retrieving different colours from a database and I want
to set the background colour of a canvas to the colour retrieved.
I've tried doing the following:
<mx:TileList
x="2" y="237"
direction="horizontal"
dataProvider="{MakeUpColours.lastResult.Colour}"
backgroundColor="#FFFFFF"
width="288" height="167.04999"
themeColor="#FFFFFF">
<mx:itemRenderer>
<mx:Component>
<mx:Canvas width="35" height="35">
<mx:Canvas width="30" height="30" x="5" y="5"
backgroundColor="{data.ColourNo}">
<mx:Image source="
http://localhost/Flex/Personalised%20Palettes-debug/{data.@PictureSrc}"/>
<mx:Label text="{data.@ColourNo}"/>
</mx:Canvas>
</mx:Canvas>
</mx:Component>
</mx:itemRenderer>
</mx:TileList>
But it just makes the background colour black. Any
suggestions?
Thanks
Katy

You're referring to both data.@ColourNo and data.ColourNo. Is
it an
attribute or an element?

Cannot change Printer Properties in Word 2010 with J6480. Properties revert to default setting

When I attempt to change Printer Properties in Word 2010, they simply revert back to the default setting. I am unable to use the Printer Properties within the Word 2010. If the default is grayscale, that is all the printer will print unless I change the default setup in the Control Panel. It appears to be an incompatibility with Office 2010 software as other programs allow the change of Printer properties.

I have the exact identical problem. Brand new printer (HP PhotoSmart C4780) on a brand new PC (Windows 7). I cannot access the printer properties dialog box when the PDF file has been opened in an embedded Adobe Viewer window in Internet Explorer.
When I select [Print] from Word or Adobe Viewer, or anywhere else, I can then press the [Properties] button and it opens the printer properties just fine.
But if I open a PDF document through Internet Explorer, clicking on that [Properties] button doesn't do anything. No error or anything. If I press the [Save] in the Adobe Acrobet-embedded Internet Explorer window, it too does nothing. This leads me to think it is an Adobe Acrobat issue. However, I have found nothing in their support forums on this topic.
Does anyone out there have any ideas?

Changing background colour with hex code?

Hi, i want to change the background colour of my documents. So far i can only find 1 way of doing it by going file > document setup then chaning the colour under transparency. I have two problems with this though. First, it seems to only change the colour in illustrator and not the actual image when saved/printed etc. And secondly i need to change the colour to a specific hex colour and i'm at a loss of how to do this.
I have done a little searching on this but so far i seem to be failing at finding the answer. Anyone help?

E'ss,
First, it seems to only change the colour in illustrator and not the actual image when saved/printed etc.
That is because it is only something like a simulation of coloured paper, so you can see what it looks like when printed on such paper. In other words, it is not part of the artwork and therefore not transferred.
And secondly i need to change the colour to a specific hex colour and i'm at a loss of how to do this.
When you set the colour, one option is RGB which is an equivalent to the hex colour. To find the right RGB combination without having to remember/calculate it, you may do as follows:
1) Create a rectangle (or whatever);
2) In the Color palette/panel flyout choose Web Safe RGB and insert the desired hex colour (the first two characters as R, the next two as G, and the last two as B);
3) Switch to (normal) RGB and read the values to use.

How do I change what Firefox opens documents with so I can print them?

I used to print documents for work. The would show up in separate tabs across the top. I click on it and print. Now all the documents go to an arrow on the side and when Ipull them up they are in wordpad and jibberish. please help.

Could you describe this in a little more detail?
First, are you opening PDF documents from a website? If Firefox is automatically downloading them instead of displaying them, you may be able to change that setting. Please see this article for more information: [[View PDF files in Firefox without downloading them]].
Second, instead of clicking items on the download panel to open them, try clicking the folder icon on the right to open the folder they're in with the file highlighted. What kind of file does Windows say it is? If you right-click the file, do you have the option to open it in another program?
Third, if the problem comes after printing, make sure the checkbox for "Print to file" is NOT selected in the print dialog.

Unable to set wireless connection with imac and Canon MX860 printer ...

I recently converted to a Mac and bought a Mac Book, iMac, Airport Extreme, and a Canon MX860 printer. i have installed the canon software numerous times on my iMac to set up the wireless connection. yes, the airport extreme recognizes the printer and i am able to connect to my private and guest networks. the signal strength is good. It's the next part that I'm always stuck at. The Printer settings does not display when i choose More Printers and select Canon IJ Network. I called Apple support and we tried changing my network settings to an unsecured network and it still has the same issue. It was recommended this may be Canon driver issue and advised me to contact Canon. I reset the Airport, changed my network name and password .. i think i tried everything and it still does not work. What was I thinking when i said i wanted to convert to Mac? I can't move forward and connect my macbook or pc yet until I successfully connect the imac. Yes, i installed the latest canon IJ Network tool. of course the USB connection is fine but that defeats the whole purpose if why i bought this printer. please advise how to fix. this is getting very frustrating.

Some help at http://store.apple.com/us/product/TV352LL/A perhaps in the comments.
And maybe at http://www.amazon.com/Canon-PIXMA-MX860-Wireless-Printer/product-reviews/B001R4C 5BK in the comments.
"I ran into the same network installation issue that I've seen in other Canon printers. Canon's network setup forces you to connect by USB cable first. Only after you tell the program that you want to use the computer over the network can you remove the USB cable, move the printer if needed, and if you're using a wired connection, reconnect a network cable. The process isn't particularly difficult, but it's more cumbersome than what other printers let you do, which is simply put the printer where you want it, plug in an Ethernet cable, and install the software." source = http://shop.pcmag.com/shop/product/pcmag/84634068.aspx?SB=6&OB=1
"MAC wireless network printer setup requires turning off firewall, and works fine if you leave firewall off (not recommended). If you set firewall at "essential connections only," wireless networked MX860 won't work. You must add MP navigator and solution apps to your firewall enabled list. Then it worked fine on the admin account, but still won't work on users account which required additional permission settings and selections. After 2 hours it worked fine, but I would've expected better instruction manual for MAC." source = http://cnet.nytimes.com/multifunction-devices/canon-pixma-mx860/4852-3181_7-3352 9769.html
"The only trouble that I have had with this machine is setting up the wireless network. The manual instructions are impossible for me to understand and I ended up having to call for assistance. Which easily solved the problem. And again when I had to reconfigure my network settings it was impossible to follow the logarithm of instructions in the manual. Again I needed to call for assistance. If I need help after the year manufacture's warranty I will be charged for these calls." source = http://www.zimbio.com/InkjetPrinter+Reviews/articles/1932/Canon+PIXMA+MX860+Wireless+One+PhotoPrinter
Even Windows people have trouble:
"I NEED INTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO CONNECT MY HP LAPTOP TO THE CANON MX860 PRINTER."
"I'm with you. I have my mx860 connected usb to my pc with the printer being shared but my wireless laptop can't find it no matter what I try."
And, unhappy Vista person:
"I had high hopes for this printer - it seemed to have it all. But the wireless feature never worked, it only worked on my gigabit network for about two weeks (only THREE print jobs including the test print), and never observed it to work via USB - Vista (x64 Ultimate) would throw an error saying it could not attach the device."

Print setting changes from Excel to pdf

I am creating a pdf file from Excel. When I produce the pdf file, the pdf does not retain the print settings as Excel. When I open the pdf, it has changed to portrait. I have hundreds of files that will need to be changed so just changing the print setting on each file is not an option.
Please help!

Hi Francois
I do not know transaction EFRM, but I know that to create a print form with SAP Interactive Forms (perhapos you are using a different forms tool?) you need to work in transaction SFP, where you manually migrate the form.
A couple of comments on migrating from Smart Forms to Interactive Forms.
How to do it is documented in the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/16/a369b1800e4bdda978ee0fe3b7bd2c/frameset.htm">SAP Help Portal</a>.
There is a migration wizard that assists you in migrating. It comes with recommended settings for those elements of a Smart Forms that migrate well (ABAP program nodes, for example, are not supported in the Adobe-based solution). See the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/3b/bb186ddb4441a7875a11d46ea6580d/content.htm">Notes</a>.
SAP-internal experience over the last three years has shown that in most cases migrating a Smart Form and then reworking the migrated form (which is usually necessary) takes more time and effort than analyzing the form carefully and then creating it from scratch in SFP. This is particularly the case when several business forms are in one Smart Form and output based on conditions. It is recommended to have one form template per business form.

Printer aligns BUT only with Black and Blue all other diagnostics print with all colours

Initially when installed the printer REFUSED to align, took 7 attempts (OK I have heard of Einsteins quote !). Each time I used the printer screen to ALIGN PRINTER - the process failed. So I looked on the web, and:
Cleaned the cartridges,
Cleared the vents
Removed and cleaned the printhead
Prayed
Tried again
All to no avail, so then I tried doing the diagnostics via the PC software, and here the mystery deepened.
When running the HP Photosmart B210 Series tool box I got three differing results from the three printing options
A Print Quality Diagnostics Page gave me Ba full five colour printout
Align Printheads gave me black and blue lies/boxes/grids and the Alignement Successful message
Print Diagnostic info gave me all four colours with lots of meaningful info including the 73 Print head Calibration COnfidence Level:0
Any Ideas ANYONE, before I bin this and buy a Kodak or Epson in disgust
This question was solved.

What exactly is the issue? The alignment aligns the color printhead to black printhead, and only one color (cyan for your printer) and black are needed for that. (There is likely an additional set of blocks that prints gray blocks fading to white. This section is used to calibrate the energy for the colors.) The other test pages you printed will print various diagnostic or test pages which will use all the colors.
A successful alignment page requires the page be printed on unused white paper and requires that the black and cyan sections are printing properly.

How do I change the printer setting to print in Black only?

How can I change my printer setting to print in Black only

It depends on your printer as well; my Epson AIO only does color (even when it is black font only) - or grayscale )sort of a "draft" quality) as it uses some color even for black:

I have set up my airprint wifi printer which works perfectly with the HP eprint app. However, when i view an email and click on the top right arrow button and select "PRINT" on my ipad nothing happens????...

I have set up my airprint wifi printer which works perfectly with the HP eprint app. However, when i view an email and click on the top right arrow button and select "PRINT" on my ipad nothing happens????...
Also, when im viewing websites and i find something i wish to print, same again, if i simply click on the print option at the top right of the screen nothing happens... the only way I can print is if i copy the weblink of the site page then click on my HP eprint app and paste the web link, then select print, it prints off fine.. but its it such a pain to keep copying and pasting links or screen dumping emails just to print...

Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information. Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information. Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!

How to change a setting in the Java Control Panel with command line

Hi,
I am trying to figure out how to change a setting in the Java Control Panel with command line or with a script. I want to enable "Use SSL 2.0 compatible ClientHello format"
I can't seem to find any documentation on how to change settings in the Java Control Panel via the command line
Edited by: 897133 on Nov 14, 2011 7:15 AM

OK figured it out. This is for the next person seeking the same solution.
When you click on the Java Control Panel (found in the Control panel) in any version of Windows, it first looks for a System Wide Java Configuration (found here: C:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment). At this point you must be wondering why you don't have this folder (C:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment) or why its empty. Well, for an enterprise environment, you have to create it and place something in it - it doesn't exist by default. So you'll need a script (I used Autoit) to create the directory structure and place the the two files into it. The two files are "deployment.properties" and "deployment.config".
Example: When you click on the Java Control Panel it first checks to see if this directory exists (C:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment) and then checks if there is a "deployment.config". If there is one it opens it and reads it. If it doesn't exist, Java creates user settings found here C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment on Windows 7.
__deployment.config__
It should look like this inside:
*#deployment.config*
*#Mon Nov 14 13:06:38 AST 2011*
*# The First line below specifies if this config is mandatory which is simple enough*
*# The second line just tells Java where to the properties of your Java Configuration*
*# NOTE: These java settings will be applied to each user file and will overwrite existing ones*
deployment.system.config.mandatory=True
deployment.system.config=file\:C\:/WINDOWS/Sun/Java/Deployment/deployment.properties
If you look in C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment on Windows 7 for example you will find "deployment.properties". You can use this as your default example and add your settings to it.
How?
Easy. If you want to add *"Use SSL 2.0 compatible ClientHello format"*
Add this line:
deployment.security.SSLv2Hello=true
Maybe you want to disable Java update (which is a big problem for enterprises)
Add these lines:
deployment.javaws.autodownload=NEVER
deployment.javaws.autodownload.locked=
Below is a basic AutoIt script you could use (It compiles the files into the executable. When you compile the script the two Java files must be in the directory you specify in the FileInstall line, which can be anything you choose. It will also create your directory structure):
#NoTrayIcon
#RequireAdmin
#Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=n
#EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
Func _JavaConfig()
     $ConfigFile_1 = @TempDir & "\deployment.properties"
     $ConfigFile_2 = @TempDir & "\deployment.config"
     FileInstall ("D:\My Documents\Autoit\Java config\deployment.properties", $ConfigFile_1)
FileInstall ("D:\My Documents\Autoit\Java config\deployment.config", $ConfigFile_2)
     FileCopy($ConfigFile_1, @WindowsDir & "\Sun\Java\Deployment\", 9)
     FileCopy($ConfigFile_2, @WindowsDir & "\Sun\Java\Deployment\", 9)
     Sleep(10000)
     FileDelete(@TempDir & "\deployment.properties")
     FileDelete(@TempDir & "\deployment.config")
EndFunc
_JavaConfig()
Now if you have SCUP and have setup Self Cert for your organization, you just need to create a SCUP update for JRE.
