Changing printer defaults (terminal)

someone helped me awhile back change the DEFAULT printer settings actions and for some reason i cannot find this documentation. doing this would save me a lot of time and i would like to do this again as well as document so i can do it if i have to do a fresh install.
in particular i am looking to get the dialog to DEFAULT to 100% (not automatically scale to fit) and DEFAULT to not rotating (uncheck Rotate upon opening instead of having it checked as default).
can anyone help me where to find out how to do this?
in the meantime i am going to try and search again for this.
TIA

Open the System Preferences and click on the Print & Fax icon. At the bottom, choose the printer and paper size you want to use as the defaults.
Now open any app (this browser page will do) and press Command+P. If you get the uselessly over-simplified dialogue as show next ...
... then click on the arrow next to the printer name so it looks something like this:
Set the scale to 100%. Where it says "Safari", go through the other settings under that drop down menu making any changes you want to be the defaults for that printer. When you're done, click on the menu below the printer name (unlike where mine says "7500 Plain paper - 1 side", it will likely say "Standard").
When you click on that drop down menu, you will have a choice of "Save As...". Give your settings a name. Anytime you use that printer, if your settings don't come up by default, just click the menu and choose the setting you saved.

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.

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?

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.

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.

Change printing defaults to print a individual slides and not have a border

It is annoying to always have to choose individual slides and turn the border off while printing. Is there a way to change this default so it is always that way?

1. Is there a way that print(...) method of Printable interface can send ASCII character and not graphics rendering?Not that I know of, but note that you can use the Graphics.setFont(Font) method on your Graphics/Graphics2D to cause the printing to use whatever font (or combination of fonts) you want.

Changing printing default so not all calendars are selected to print

When I print with the new version of iCal, all calendars are selected to print by default. Under the "old" iCal (v.2.0.5) only the selected calendar (or calendars) are designated for printing. Is there a way to change the default in Leopard's iCal so that only the selected calendars print?
I have nearly 30 calendars I manage (I know this is excessive but it is a reality in my job) and I generally print only one or two calendars together at a time.

Looks like this is indeed a software bug. According to the iCal help:
+By default, the calendars that are currently selected in the main iCal window will be printed. Selecting or deselecting calendars here doesn’t affect what’s checked in the main calendar view; it only affects what’s printed.+
+If you select a calendar group, all calendars in the group are printed.+
Please fix this!!

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
Regards

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.

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.

Want to change the default user's terminal

i cant do "cd somefolder"
so i want to change the default terminal
how is it done?

This may help: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 72#p337872
What DE/WM are you running? In gnome, it would be system > preferred applications > system, or you add this to .bashrc:
TERM=xterm
export TERM
where you can change xterm to mrxvt or whatever you have installed.
If you want to change the shell, here is the wiki page with links to installing different shells, like zsh or fish: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cat … _(English).

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 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.
