Change printer settings without printing?

To create a new template one has to go through the "Printer..." dialog to change the paper size. Unfortunately, the only way to actually SAVE the new settings is to click OK, which causes Lightroom to print the current image. In all other programs, the "Printer..." dialog is used only to adjust settings. In Lightroom it seems to serve as a "Print" dialog as well. On Windows this violates long-standing UI function guidelines embodied by pretty much all other software.
A concrete example:
I needed to create a new template to print on 8-1/2 x 11 paper. To do so, I created a new template while in an existing template for 8x10. This copies the settings to the new template, but one cannot adjust the cell size to anything larger than 8x10. So I went to the "Printer...:" dialog to change the paper size. However, when clicking OK on the "Printer..." dialog, to save the new paper size, Lightroom starts printing the current image.
What should happen is that the settings are saved and no printing starts. Printing should occur only when I click on "Print".
Unless I've missed something and there's a way to change paper size, color profile, paper type, etc. (all the things you can change on the printer driver's dialog) from within Lightroom without invoking "Printer..."?

Jim, you have provided no detail at all.
I can change paper size without printing on my Mac with epson printers. I can even change paper size with o printer attached.
Let us know what your are doing with what set up....

Remove/Change Proxy Settings Without Logging In

Is there a way to change the proxy settings without logging in?
Our proxy server went down and Spiceworks will not allow pro users to log in because of it. I can't change the settings because I can't login. Does anyone know of a way to change the settings another way?
We can't login on the server or via workstations. This only affects pro users.
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

HI Norm,
Open System Preferences/Network. Select Airport in the panel in the left then click the Advanced tab then click the Proxies tab. Where you see: Select a protocol to configure Make sure there are NO boxes checked.
Click the Airport tab in that same window. Make sure your network is listed under: Preferred Networks
If not, cick + Type in your network name or click Show Networks and select it from there. Your network should be listed in the Preferred Networks window now. Just below that window select the box next to: Remember networks this computer has joined.
If you still have problems, open Airport Utility (Applications/Utilities)
Select your device on the left then click Continue. In the next window click: I want to restore this AirPort device to its factory settings and then set it up again; then click Continue.
I'm on Comcast without using any Proxies.
You can disconnect the Comcast cable modem from it's power source for about 5 minutes then reconnect. Sometimes you have to recycle the modem.

Also, on the G5. Go to /Library/Preferences/System Configuration and move these files to the Trash.
com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
com.apple.nat.plist
com.apple.network.identification.plist
You may only see the com.apple.airport.preferences.plist file in that list since it's running 10.5.x
Don't worry about the other .plist files if they are not available.

How to change sequence settings without CC 7.1 update?

Well, i was hoping that Adobe will release 7.1 update on October 15th, as promised on some websites. I don't recall, maybe it was Creative COW or any other.
That's why i have created 720p PRORES proxies for 9x multi-camera live performance shoot which lasts for 2 hours for lag free, fast editing.
I have sucessfully edited it and promised my clients that on October 16th they will get the whole show in 1080p, high quality.
So, there is no update yet, and yes, i can relink files to original 1080p, but the multicam sequence is capped to 720p and i simply can't find a way to change it's size.
The old fashion copy/paste way from one sequence to another does not work, since 720p sequence is linked to multicam edits. In CS6 i could edit ".prproj" file in text editor to change any properties (including sequence properties), but right now in CC, .prproj file contains binary data only, so i can't do it that way either.
Maybe someone knows any other way to change sequence settings right now, or what is the exact day for 7.1 release?
Thank you!

Hi Paolon!
You need to extract your .prproj using WinRAR to a text .prproj file, then use some text editor such as Notepad to search and replace sequence dimensions
For example find "1920" and replace it to "1280" if it looks like Īt belongs to a sequence definition.
I don't recall how it was called, maybe "VideoFrameRect" or something similar.
First create some very simple project to experiment with, and always make a backup copy in case something goes wrong

To Change Techinical settings without having SE13 authorization

Hi Gurus,
I am creating a custom table but i do not have authorization for changing technical settings.
It is giving error message No authorization for transaction SE13.
I know that we can do it in debug mode.I tried that but it's not working.
Please suggest how can we do this.
Regards,
Amit

Hi,
Best method is to contact your BASIS team to get required authorizations. I hope u have developer access. If yes then u should be able to do this. If no then how u created the table?
Try through SE11 change mode=>Technical settings button in tool bar (I thing this and SE13 are one and same).
Thanks,
Vinod.

Changing location settings without access to the iPod?

So, I'm trying to figure out if that is even possible...
Story is I used find my iPhone to find my lost ipod ofcourse. I had it set to send me an email... i didnt really think it through that that means they would see that I located it when it did connect. After that it seems whoever stole the ipod turned off the location settings. I can still tell when it's on and connected to the internet, when they saw a message of sound, how much battery is on and all that. So now I'm stuck and I think this would be the only way to really be able to recover it... Any help here?

- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order
Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
- iOS: How to find the serial number, IMEI, MEID, CDN, and ICCID number

How do I change compression settings without massive image distortion?

So I took at file at 1920x1080i mistakenly edited it in a sequence with the Apple Intermediate Codec. When I tried to change the sequence settings, it resulted an incredibly condensed image. When I tried to copy and paste the edited clips into another sequence with the correct format, it resulted in the same thing. However, when I put the raw files into the same "correct" sequence, they looked fine.
Is there any way for me to get the editied sequence to be 1920x1080i? I would HATE to have to re-edit the entire thing, but so far it seems my only option.
Thanks

Create a sequence with the settings you want (the correct settings).
Return to you original sequence with the incorrect settings and click anywhere on the timeline.
Type Command + A to select all the clips.
Once selected, type Command + C to copy the clips.
Now go to your newly created correct (empty) sequence, and click anywhere in the sequence.
Type Command + V.
If the clips are distorted or sized incorrectly in the new sequence, click anywhere on the timeline and type Command + A to select all the clips.
One selected, Control-click on any one of the selected clips, and from the drop down menu choose "Remove Attributes"
When the Remove Attributes pane opens, check the boxes for Basic Motion and Distort, if available.
Click OK. This should modify all the clips that were selected (the entire timeline).
Does this help?

Bought used macbook air and do not have previous users password. how do i change admin settings without that?

I have purchased a used Macbook Air and am trying to clear previous user account data from system. Previous user gave me his password but it does not work and he has no other ideas. If/can I reboot somehow and not loose the programs that he had installed?
System is MacBook Air 11-inch Mid 2011
1.6 Ghz Intel Core i5 processor
Memory 2GB
Graphics Intel HD 3000 288 MB
Software OS X 10.8.3 (12D78)

You have to erase the drive and reinstall under your ID etc.
Previous user gave me his password but it does not work and he has no other ideas. If/can I reboot somehow and not loose the programs that he had installed?
Unless you bought those programs under your account they are not yours and you have no rights to use them, you will also be unable to upgrade or reinstall them.

Why does FireFox change layout/settings during upgrades without asking ?

Just upgraded to Firefox 18 (windows 7 desktop). Why does Firefox change layouts/settings without asking the user if he wants it or not???
I am getting sick of those changes. I want to have at the google main page the options (as before) to search in all languages, or pages from a certain language or pages in a certain language (of course depening of the google address; f.i. at google.de for german languages, google.fr for french languages etc).
In the latest Firefox 17 it was working as I wanted and described before: when I visited www.google.de/firefox of www.google.fr/firefox. Now those 3 options (under the search bar) are gone and I do not want to operate by clicking on the advanced search button. Those things should be visible under the search bar again.
Also my STARTPAGE was GONE/DELETED after the update !!! Grrrrr.... Updating is OK but mozilla should not change user configured items !!!!!!!
The above described problem has nothing to do with the google website.

By the way, do Firefox and IE use the same proxy settings? You can view Firefox's here:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > "Network" mini-tab > "Settings" button
The default is "Use system proxy settings".

How do you change project settings on Premiere Elements 12?

I have Premiere Elements 12. When I view a DVD I created of wedding photos, the edges of people and objects are jagged and generally the photos appear blurry. On my old Premiere Elements 8, I did not have this problem - the pictures on DVDs were clear and sharp. When checking the project setting on Premiere 8, the project settings for Capture was DV which changed all my settings for General and Rendering project settings. On my new Premiere 12, the Capture setting is HDV and I cannot get the General and Rendering settings to change when I change the Capture setting to DV. The online help from Adobe says to correct this, "In the New Project dialog box, click Change Settings," but when I start a new project in Premiere 12, "Adobe Premiere Element Editor" is the only dialogue box that shows and I cannot see a change setting button. Does anyone know how I can change my project settings so that when I select DV it will change all the presets for the General and Video Rendering settings?

jacquelinebaker
The party line is that you cannot change project settings once the project settings have been set. You need to start a new project.
Edit Menu/Project Settings/General does not offer the opportunity for any significant project settings change in this type of situation.
I have discovered that, under certain circumstances, that the user can change the established project preset without starting a new project.
The approach to doing this involves editing the Notepad document of the saved closed project file (project.prel file). I have written about this in the following blog post.
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/05/pe11-changing-project-settings-without.html
You need to weigh the pros and cons of going through the procedure or just starting a new project and start the project again.
All of the above being said, on to setting to the correct project preset to match the properties of your source media. Please refer to the issues involved and how to set manually the project preset when the program is not doing the job correctly or best automatically.
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/04/pe11-accuracy-of-automatic-project.html
To the specifics...if you are doing DV data capture firewire into Premiere Elements 12 Capture Window, the scenario would be...
a. Open Premiere Elements 12 to the Expert workspace, go to File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings. In Change Settings,
change the project preset to NTSC DV Standard or NTSC DV Widescreen depending on NTSC or PAL set up and 4:3 or 16:9 DV data source. Then before you exit that area, make sure to place a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project" in
the new project dialog. Exit that area and return to the Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace for your Add Media/DV Capture selection.
If you are doing HDV data capture firewire into Premiere Elements 12 Capture Window, then same scenario except the project preset change involves NTSC HDV HDV 1080i30 (if NTSC). In this instance, the Edit Menu/Project Settings/General should look like
Please review and consider and then let me know if I have targeted you question or need clarification.
Thank you.

How to change printer and or system settings to print in color

How to change printer and or system settings to print in color

You can change the brightness with an RGBImageFilter which converts the rgb values to HSV, increases the value, and converts back to rgb.

Photoshop CS6 freezes with attempts to change printer settings

(This problem also occurs with InDesign CS6, so I will post to that forum as well. First one to give me a solution gets my undying love and devotion appreciation.)
My employer acquired a Canon 6010 printer with a Fiery print controller last year. I have no problems printing from my personal Windows laptop.
However, from my employer's iMac (OS X 10.6.8) I get the spinning beach ball of death at least 90% of the time that I open an existing document and attempt to change the printer settings. The only way out is via Force Quit. Inexplicably I can occasionally succeed in changing printer settings. I think the record was having to force quit the application 11 times. Not sure - I quit counting.
So far our only semi-consistent work around: create a new document and copy and paste the contents from the existing document. Not cool. But sometimes the app freezes with brand new documents, thus destroying my work around anyway.
Additional Information:
I have installed all CS6 upgrades.
Our technical support contractor recreated the problem and could not find any solution other than the work around.
Canon says the problem is with the applications.
This happens whether I attempt to change the printer settings immediately or make changes to the document first.
It does not matter what other applications are running.
Rebooting the system after the app freezes does not make it work.
We cannot upgrade past 10.6.8 because of the age of the hardware. But CS6 is supposed to run on Snow Leopard.
I have tested this with other applications, including some older Adobe software. It does not happen with Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, InDesign CS3, Photoshop CS3, Acrobat 8 Pro, Acrobat 9 Pro or Acrobat XI Pro.
This happens whether the documents were created and saved on the Mac or on a Windows computer.
Re-saving the documents and/or printer settings does not change the outcome. Once I restart the application Photoshop may remember the paper size, but doesn't remember duplex settings. (From another thread in this forum I suspect a corrupt printer preferences file.)
Per the instructions in the other thread I reset the printing preferences by launching the app while holding down shift-control-command. That enabled me to change the printer settings one time. Every subsequent attempt brought back the spinning beach ball.
No other employees report similar problems (including a few MacBook users). However, they do not use Photoshop or InDesign, nor do they typically change printer settings.
Sorry if some of that is irrelevant - just trying to give you as much info as possible and tell you what I've tried already. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Bonnie

Nanneri, my situation is similar in that creating the PDF and printing from that does take longer than just printing from InDesign and Photoshop.
I finally got a Canon tech rep on site who understood my problem. Though we had tried reinstalling the drivers (as had previous Canon reps), this guy got it right. Neither Photoshop nor InDesign has locked up since - at least not for the Canon 6010. (Photoshop has locked up twice when I've attempted to print to a Canon iPF8300s wideformat that isn't on the Fiery. Restarting PS has fixed that.)
Based on my experience, I would start with new drivers.
FYI: I am having problems printing to a new Canon C7065 that also uses Fiery. But the problems vary and I haven't isolated the factors. Sometimes I get a printed error report. Sometimes it just doesn't print. But no more software lockups.
In our case, I suspected our problems were related to having old hardware that can't be upgraded past OS X 10.6.8, which is the oldest OS compatible with both CS6 and the Fiery. But since you are on a newer OS, and a different printer, I'm beginning to wonder about the Fiery.
Hope you find a solution soon. Keep us posted!

Cannot change print settings, print on foto size

When I want to print a webpages the printer (HP6380) prints in the format 10 x 15 instaed of A4. I tried changing the settings in printermenu but it did not help...

When reading your '''More system details...''' for the HPOfficejet 6300 series printer, the paper height is set to 11.0 and the width to 8.5 - '''inch''' settings for Letter size paper - not metric settings for A4 sized paper.
Where are you checking the setting for A4 paper?
{Ctrl + P} to see what is known as the "native print dialog", then check to make sure that printer is selected in the Printer - Name box at the top, and then hit the '''Properties''' button. The preferences that appear there are what Firefox uses. Settings that appear elsewhere or the "default" printer settings aren't what Firefox uses.

Changed computer settings. Now I cannot print. Please help!!!

In an attempt to make my machine faster, I changed the settings of a few services on my Dell Studio Laptop (running Vista).
Everything is working fine with the exception of my J6450 Wireless Printer...and it worked fine before the reconfig.
It still works (made a b/w copy to enure it wasn't the machine that was broken).
It seems to connect when I start my computer, however when I print, I get a simple "Error - Printing" notice in the printer dialogue box.
I have reconfigured all HP related services in the computer management console, however the error remains.
Is anyone aware of a specific service that should be running or configured a specific way? Perhaps one knows of another forum where I could share the services running to get more focused advice?
Many thanks!!

i have the same problem , was working fine before then i changed my password & cant get it to connect now .
have deleted the hotmail account & tried adding again this doesnt work
any ideas anyone ?

Any printer UI for change printer settings?

Since Solaris 10's printing system is powered by PPD files. (at least for some printers). I suppose I can access all features PPD file provide: Change page size, input-tray, output-tray, color-mode, etc.
Is there a GUI that comes with Solaris that can help me change printer settings? (The printer manager is useless)
How do I tell what command line option a PPD file provides? (Yes, I can write my own script to parse the PPD file for OpenUI, CloseUI), but what's Sun's solution for it?

/usr/sadm/admin/bin/printmgr &
Don't ask me why it's in a weird location.
It's the Best GUI In The World -
gives you the option of a console
window, so you can see what it's
doing on the command-line in
response to your button-clicks.
Dunno about the PPDs.
cheers.

How can i change printer settings from command line

hello
i want to use command that changes printer to print grayscale or color
the best i find is to use: rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry
but i cant find color settings there
i would like your help with that
thanks alot !

We may have to wait for an update. Aside from changing the country, I'm not sucre this can be done. There is no Health App in the System preferences and no way to modify from within the app. Weird.
If you go to Language & Region under general settings and choose any other country, you will get Metric. I have the opposite problem. I live in a Metric country and want my health app to be in lbs and inches which is what I am used to.
