Changing advanced printing defaults

Hi Everyone,
Some how my default advanced print setting have changed to print as image. I want to change the default back to reugualr printing and not print as image. It's getting annoying to have to change it back every time I want to print something. I am using Acrobat X on a Mac 10.6.8. Probably a simple fix I just cant remember or find any clear answer on line.

No way, this is so annoying. I have been logging feature requests and whenever I meet someone from the Adobe team I'm insisting on being able to choose between absolute and relative timing. Really hope that they will listen in a near future My work flow is to make sure that the object timing is done before applying effects.

Change printing default presets?

Whenever I print, currently on an Epson NX420, I have to go in and change one of the presets for color options to OFF (no color adjustments) and I'd like this to be the default. Some pages seem to take a very long time to print if I haven't changed this setting.
I can create a new preset; but would like to change the default altogether.

You can change the printer defaults via the CUPS web page. But by default, the CUPS page is blocked. To enable it, open Terminal and type "sudo cupsctl WebInterface=yes" (without the quotation marks). Enter the admin password when prompted and then refresh the browser view.
With CUPS web page open, select the Printers tab and then select the printer you want to modify. Then from the Administration drop menu, change to "Set Default Options".
This will show a new page with four menu headings (links); Options Installed, General, Banners and Policies. Select General.
Scroll down the list until you find the option you want to set as default.
With the option select you then need to scroll down the list to the bottom of the page where you will see the ‘Set Default Options’ button.
When you click the 'Set Default Options' button you will then be presented with an authentication window. Enter the account name and password that has been set as the admin for this Mac. And then press the Log In button. You will then see another page stating that the information change is completed.
You can now exit the CUPS admin page and check that the change is set.

Hi,
Ofcourse, its different issue...Can you explain me why you have used the below code
*&--GET THE EXISTING DEFAULT PARAMETERS
CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'
EXPORTING
no_dialog = 'X'
IMPORTING
out_parameters = l_t_params.
I mean you are importing the existing default parameters but you are not modifying the parameters in l_t_params. I hope you are not required above code.

HOW DO I CHANGE MY PRINT SETTINGS SO THAT THEY STAY SET TO MY PRINTER DEFAULTS?????????????????????????????????????????

This one issue is probably the one thing that would make me abandon Firefox FOREVER (besides the problems with Flash). If I change print settings for ONE COPY I have nothing but HELL trying to get my print settings BACK to my PRINTER defaults. Why can't Firefox be like the REST of the computer world and have the PRINTER DEFAULTS override Firefox?????
I made a change yesterday and I have NOT been able to get it changed BACK to the defaults.
Is thois too complicated?

Hello Grillmark55 , any luck if you [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-printing-problems-firefox#w_reset-firefox-printer-setting Reset Firefox printer setting] ? , if the above link is not helpful then see: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-printing-problems-firefox#w_reset-firefox-printer-setting Reset all Firefox printer settings]

Change Printer Default Page size to A4 from Letter in Firefox

Firefox overides printer default page size every time I print. I need Firefox to print to A4 but it automatically sets the Page size to Letter. I have to manualy change the size each time I print.
There are no options in Firefox to change this setting permanently. I am running the latest version of Firefox on Windows XP.
In control panel the default page size is set to A4 which Internet Explorer and other applications use correctly.
Thanks,

I solved it! For anyone having a similar problem try this.
Change the default printer, choose another one.
Change something in that printer and close firefox.
Reopen firefox and choose yet another printer (not the first one).
Change something in that printer and close firefox again.
Reopen firefox and choose the first printer. Select A4 as default paper and close firefox one last time.
Reopen firefox and the problem should be gone. Weird, innit?

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.

Change printer default settigns for all sheets

We are running Office 2007/2010/2013. Normally, our client send us an excel file with 20 or 30 jobs (sheets).
Our Canon printer default settings is 2 sided on 1 page. When we change the default settings from 2 sided to 1 sided, we need to do it one sheet at one time. In other words, we need to do it 20 or 30 times for that excel file. We wonder
how to change the settings from 2 sided to 1 sided that will change whole book settings.

How can I change printer default settings?

Officejet J5700 series:
How can I set the default settings so I dont have to change the printer Properties each time I print?

just thought of one thing that may have solved the problem. I had not changed color management from automatic to manual. I did that and it seems to now be working the way I want it. More later if that doesn't hold across reboot, log out, etc.

Change printer default settings

I have and HP Officejet Pro 8600. The print default setting is to print colour. How do I set the default setting to Black Ink

Go to Devices and Printers, right click the printer, click Printing Preferences then go to Advance tab, usually there is an option there that you have to set to print only in grayscale. Hit Apply then ok, then close the window.

VF04 printer default not changing

When generating billing documents via VF04, the printer is always going to a certain printer even when the User profile/Own Data is changed to a different value or blank.
What is causing the VF04 printer to always go to the same printer? How can I change it to go to a different printer?
Other billing options such as VF02 or VF32 allow me to select the printer.

Hi
Printer will be defaulted from the CONDITION RECORDS maintained in the VV31 for the Billing
If you want different printer then you can set them in VV32 - change the Printer details for your outpt types
Please check and revert

Adobe Printer Preferences do not change - Back to default

We have Acrobat 8.1 installed on an XP and 2003 Server station. The printer preferences were changed to print to pdf without prompting for a file name, delete logs, etc. We we open an application like notepad and print to the PDF printer all the printer preferences are applied. However, when an application like MSF (Microsoft Shared Fax) uses the printer to print faxes to pdf, the pdf used the default Adobe printer preferences instead of the preferences set on the PDF Printer. This locks up the computer because the PDF Printer prompts for a file name and location, but the prompt window is suppressed, and therefore the machine locks up with no posibility of removing the print job from the spooler.
How can I force Microsoft Shared Fax to use the preferences set in the PDF Printer, instead of it using the defaul values. Where in the registry is this located?
Thanks
Cath

I will not address the server issue, though you need to have proper license for this use (not the standard out-of-the-box license). As far as the settings, you should set them in the Adobe PDF printer properties. They may fail across a network connection. Network issues have long been problems for some folks using Acrobat.

Hi Yaugen,
Try these instructions. The main task is to get Windows XP and Win7 to share resources.
Step one: Windows 7 Homegroup must be setup
Printer sharing must be setup in the Homegroup settings, if one of the computers in the network is using Windows 7.
1. Click Start
2. Click Control Panel
3. In the upper right corner ensure that View by has Large icons or Small icons selected.
4. Click Network and Sharing Center.
5. Click Choose homegroup and sharing options
6. If the Homegroup is not setup, you need to set up your homegroup before continuing.
Step two: Set the Workgroup on each computer
Each computer on the network must be set to the same Workgroup. The workgroup name needs to be changed from the default to a new name.
Windows XP:
1. Click Start.
2. Right click Computer and then left click Properties.
3. The default Workgroup is WORKGROUP.
4. The name of the Workgroup should be changed from the default.
5. In System Properties, click the Computer Name tab.
6. Click the Change button.
7. Enter the Workgroup name that is used by your entire network. If you are changing the Workgroup name, use the same name used in Windows 7.
8. Click OK.
9. You must restart your computer for the change to take effect.
Windows 7:
1. Click Start.
2. Right click Computer and then left click Properties.
3. The Workgroup is listed in System Properties.
4. The default Workgroup is WORKGROUP.
5. The name of the Workgroup should be changed from the default.
6. Change your Workgroup in Windows 7 by clicking Change settings.
7. Click the Change button.
8. Enter a new Workgroup name that will be used by your entire network.
9. Click OK.
10. You must restart your computer for the change to take effect.
Step three: Setup a share account on each computer in the network
Create a common share account on each of the computers, including the computer that is sharing the printer to the rest of the network. This share account must have the same name and password on each computer.
If you decide to use an existing account that appears on each computer all ready, this existing account must be password protected. If you do not want to password protect your default login, create a new share login as described in the following steps.
Windows XP
1. Click Start
2. Click Control Panel
3. Click User Accounts
4. Click Create a new account.
5. Enter the same user account name created as the share account on the Windows 7 computer.
6. Click Next.
7. Under “Pick an account type”, select ‘Computer Administrator’.
Note: In Windows XP you must select Computer Administrator in order setup a printer.
8. After you new account is created, select it under ‘pick an account to change’.
9. Click Create a password
10. Enter the same password used when creating the share account on the Windows 7 computer, following the directions on the screen.
11. Click Create Password button.
12. Log off your current user account and log into the new share account to activate it.
13. Once the computer is ready after logging into the share account, you can log off the share account and back into your regular user account.
Windows 7
1. Click Start
2. Click Control Panel
3. In the upper right corner ensure that View by has Large icons or Small icons selected.
4. Click User Accounts
5. Click Manage another account
6. Click Create a new account
7. Select Standard User
Note: The account created should be created with the lowest security setting necessary. Creating the share account as an administrator is discouraged.
8. Enter a new user account name. Use a name that is easy to remember as the account used for sharing resources across your network. For example: ‘ShareAccount’
9. After your new account is created, select it under “Choose the account you would like to change”.
10. Click Create a Password
11. Enter a new password, following the directions on the screen.
12. Click Create Password button.
13. Close any remaining opened windows, making a note of the new account name and password as you will need to create identical accounts and passwords on the other computers on your network.
14. Log off your current user account and log into the new share account to activate it.
15. Once the computer is ready after logging into the share account, you can log off the share account and back into your regular user account.
Step Four: Share the printer to the network
The computer that has the printer attached and installed by USB must have the printer shared to the network.
Windows XP
1. Open the printers and faxes folder in Windows XP.
Note: A hand symbol under the icon for the printer indicates it is already shared to the network.
2. Right click on the printer to be shared to the network.
3. Left click on Sharing.
4. Click “If you understand the security risks but want to share printers without running the wizard, click here”.
5. Select “Just enable printer sharing”.
6. Click OK.
7. Select “Share this printer”.
8. If the Share name is acceptable, click OK.
9. If you want to change the Share name, enter a new name. Click OK.
Note: If the Share name entered is longer than 8 characters, you will get a warning that the printer will not be accessible from MS-Dos computers.
Step five: Install the appropriate software for your printer
Install the printer software on the other computers on the network that will need to access the shared printer. Install the correct driver for the printer model for each computer on the network. Not all printers will need to have a driver installed, only newer printers.
1. Check for available drivers – visit the HP website and download available drivers.
Note: Even if you have an install CD for your older HP product, there may be an updated driver for your printer.
2. Launch the driver setup by double-clicking on the downloaded driver.
3. If the driver install process requires you to attach the printer USB cable to continue, click cancel instead. This will roll back the install, but it will leave the driver files installed.
4. Select the USB connection type. Look for the checkbox labeled “Connect later – Do not connect to the printer now. I will connect it later”.
Note: You might have to select USB connection type before the checkbox is visible.
5. Complete the install without attaching the USB cable.
6. After the software is installed, delete any icons created on the desktop. They will not be linked to the shared printer and will only result in errors if used.
Step six: Install the shared printer.
Note: Computers that are not sharing a resource to the network may not show up by name when viewing the entire network.
Windows 7
1. Click Start.
2. Click on Computer.
3. In the lower left pane, click on Network.
4. Double click on the computer that is sharing the printer.
5. Enter the name of your share account as the “User name”.
6. Enter the same password created for the share account.
7. Check the box labeled Remember my credentials.
8. Click OK.
9. Right click on the printer, left click Open.
10. Windows will find the previously loaded driver for the printer and complete the install.

How do I change the printer resolution?

How do I change the printer resolution on my OSX 10.6.2 laptop?
I have an ubuntu print server and it seems to only work at all using the gutenprint drivers. On my ubuntu client I had to change the print resolution from "auto" to 600x600 to make it work just fine.
The best I can do is make the Mac print pages squished down to 1/4 size. I don't see the same resolution option on the Mac.
Mac OSX 10.6.2
Ubuntu Server 9.10
Printer: Canon S900
Cups driver: Canon S800 Gutenprint v5.2.3
Cups version 1.4.2 on the mac
Cups version 1.3.9 on Ubuntu Server
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.6.2)

I can't speak for the printer directly, but most functions to change resolution are in the dropdown menu at the bottom of the print dialog. It has a gray bar running through it separating the basic functions from the advanced settings.
If you don't see that, but do see a blue button with a black triangle pointing down, click on that. Then you'll be able to set the advanced settings.
Once you set up the printer the way you like, save it as a preset. If you want that as a default, see this [MacOSXHint|http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20100125135830153].
