Confuse with Printing Presets

Despite having created a custom Print Preset in the Advanced Print setting in the Print dialog box I only see Standard in the Preset drop down menu in the iPhoto 08 printer. It's only when I get to the actual print dialog that I can change it but if I've used my Glossy Preset previously it is still set. I'm using an Epson R200 inkjet printer with their Intel drivers.
Anyone else seeing this with Epson or other printers?
Thanks

I'm feeling your pain with my new Epson R1800. After loading the Epson drivers and using "Printer Setup Utility" to create the new printer there are only two presets, "Photo on Matte Paper" and "Photo on Matte Paper - Fine." Well, I want to print Glossy. The matte looks substandard on the glossy media.
The Epson documentation send you to, you guessed it, the "Print Settings" but I can't get there in iPhoto '08. I'm looking for a preset to print on glossy media. I will call Epson support in the morning, but this is frustrating.
So I'm not trying to use a custom prest, but any preset other than the two listed above.

Problem with printing presets in LR 4

Printing presets do not reflect perameters I set or update to in HP 9100 shortcut preferences working in Windows Vista. I have reloaded the HP application and upgraded from LR 4.1 to 4.2 just in case that was the problem. I do not know if I had the issue with 4.0.
I also deleted preset and created a new one. HP shortcuts always reverts to a different set of preferences then the one I have just established.
I cannot tell if the problem is with LR or HP.

Is there a way to make a 4x6 print preset with 3 photos on a 8X10 page?

Other editor programs I have used had preset layouts for 3 4X6 photos on a 8X10 sheet of paper. They did this by having one row with two photos in portrait orientation and the other photo in landscape. Is there a way to build a preset for this layout?

I do not know of any way to create such a print preset, but you can freely arrange and print your photos - all scaled differently- using a Light Table, for example: Three portrait images and two landscape images arranged on a lighttable and the Print window:

How to display the Print Dialog with defined print presets included.

When I try and display the Print Dialog none of my defined print presets are included in the print preset list box, I only get the [custom] option.
How can I get the presets included in the list?
The code I am using is:
InterfacePtr<IPrintData> docPrintData(document->GetDocWorkSpace(), UseDefaultIID());
// create a temp non-persistent IPrintData
IPrintData* tempPrintData(CreateObject2<IPrintData>(kPrintDataBoss));
// copy data from the document workspace
tempPrintData->CopyData(docPrintData, kTrue);
InterfacePtr<ICommand> printDialogCmd(CmdUtils::CreateCommand(kPrintDialogCmdBoss));
InterfacePtr<IPrintDialogCmdData> printDialogCmdData(printDialogCmd, IID_IPRINTDIALOGCMDDATA);
// store off the document's UIDRef in the print data boss
UIDRef docUIDRef = ::GetUIDRef(document);
printDialogCmdData->SetDocUIDRef(docUIDRef);
printDialogCmdData->SetPrintData(tempPrintData);
ErrorCode result = CmdUtils::ProcessCommand(printDialogCmd);
tempPrintData->Release();
Thanks

You can set the presets with Adobe Acrobat.

Printing presets!!!

I am running OS X Mountain Lion on a new macbook pro retina display. i am pretty happy with it, but some things are just driving me insane. If you can help to solve some of those, then you could look at some of my other posts, but....i digress. Anyways, i have the microsoft word, excel and powerpoint 2011 for mac installed, but what is really annoying is that i simply cannot change the dang printer presets!!!
I've tried looking on the internet for over 2hrs and got things like "open your print preferences" (didnt work as i dont have printer preferences) or "most of the details are hidden under another tab" (the tab/button does not exist) all of which just made me get more and more confused. I really want to be able to change the printer presets like the color/grayscale option, page type, quality and other things like that. I am kinda new to macs and all, but the windows interface for printing on my old HP pavilion g6 is generally the same...
Please help.
thanks
Rohan

This is a known problem with the presets: the page format information is not stored, and this needs to be fixed by Apple.
Hope this helps.

Printing presets are not loaded correctly

Dear community,
i have the following problems using different printers (Canon MG5200, Epson Workforce WF3620, etc.):
I saved about 10 own printing presets and when I check on them under "Show presets" they are totally correct. But when I want to use them in a following print job and select them in the drop-down list "Presets" they are not correctly loaded. E.g. "Paper Size" and "Pages" are alternated to thesetting saved in the preset but e.g. the "Duplex Printing" checkbox or the "Print Quality" drop-down list are just left on the setting they were on before.
Anyone knows that problem and can help me?
Thanks for your help.
Greetings,
Fares from Munich

Sorry for the delay in responding.
I was having trouble with presets, too, on my Epson printer/scanner, which is an old machine and the newer driver software does not give the same print setting options that came originally. So I decided to start from scratch. First I used the Epson uninstaller to remove the printer software. Next, reset the print system, then connected directly to the printer via USB. Ignored the initial offer to download driver software. In the printer panel in System Preferences, clicked + to add the printer. Then the printer was set up by the system. Still connected directly, I made the presets. Make sure to check the box for "All printers" for your presets. These presets should work when you connect your printer on the network instead of USB.

Importing print presets doesn't bring all settings

This isn't the first time. I saved my print presets to desktop out of CS4. I load into CS5. All that imports is the NAME. The tray is default, any other settings like duplex, make booklet, staple, etc. all default. OK. Maybe CS6 fixes this. I export my print presets to desktop, load them into CS6 and all that comes in is my menu of preset names. Is there anyway to import presets so they actually retain all the settings I spent a lot of time creating. A bit tedious to have to redo every one from scratch. I exported my entire library of exports. Should I be exporting/loading one at a time? That's as much a waste as creating them from scratch.

In ID when you click Printer... (not Page Setup...) you should get a printer specific dialog with a Presets popup. There isn't a way to save both the InDesign settings and your printer specific settings in one preset:
If you click on the Presets popup you should see a Save at the bottom of the popup list
This preset for printing to my GCC's manual feed is also available in Mail and other apps

Color Settings\Colorsync settings don't stick when setting printing presets

Hello
Posting this here, instead of in the iPhoto Forum
In the "Print" dialog box (the dialog box you see after you pass through the iPhoto dialog box - same type of box as with most other OS X applications), there is a down menu to give you access to several categories of settings related to the print job.
Here of course you can save printing presets (paper type, print quality, color management, etc).
Why do ColorSync settings under the "Color Matching" dropdown not get saved with the other presets? Every time, the profile setting defaults to "Automatic". Is this a bug or is there something I am not doing correctly? Is there a good reason why they aren't saved along with other settings? Apple on-screen Help says "some settings cannot be saved in a profile, but this would seem to be a very handy thing?
I use an Epson Artisan 800.
Alternatively, can someone tell me what the behavior is of the "Automatic" setting?
I recently profiled the printer and I am just looking for an easy/quick way at the time of printing to apply one of the three profiles based on the type of paper that is being used. I just figured this would be the easiest way to do it? (my question applies to any application - I posted here because this is of particular importance with iPhoto)
BTW Is it me or is there surprisingly little information online about ColorSync workflows/behavior/relationships in OS X?
Many thanks for any and all advice.

"Unable to Communicate with Printer"

I work at home, dialing into the office through VPN. Windows 7. Been using my HP printer flawlessly for 7 months, including up to yesterday, but today, I get the above error. The printer is connected, the wireless is working in my home for all other peripherals attached to it. My work help desk is talking gobblygook to me and can't help. It's something about an IP address. Can anyone help? Work firewall won't let me download the HR Scan Doctor.

Hey @GinaCh,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you have been using your HP Officejet Pro 8620 e-All-in-One Printer through the wireless connection to your Windows 7 computer fine for months now. However, recently, when connecting to your VPN to print you are receiving the message 'unable to communicate with printer'. Unfortunately, this error message is the exact reason why your printer is not supported over the VPN connection when wirelessly connected.
When you network the printer it comes down to a numbers game. To explain this better I am going to use an example below. When you have a wireless printer on your network it is assigned an IP Address from your router that allows it to communicate with other devices on your wireless network, such as your computer. The first 3 sets of numbers in an IP Address are the same on every device connected to your network.
As an example,:
Printer IP: 192.168.1.8
Desktop Computer IP: 192.168.1.5
Laptop Computer IP: 192.168.1.3
As you can see, the first 3 sets of numbers are identical and the last digit is different on each device.
When you connect over a VPN your computer disconnects from its local connection (your home network that the printer is connected to) and connects to your business network. This VPN connection will change the numbers so your computer that is connected to the VPN will no longer have the first 3 sets the same as the printer.
As an example:
Printer IP: 192.168.1.8
Desktop Computer IP (On VPN): 10.1.10.19
Laptop Computer IP (Not on VPN): 192.168.1.3
If the Desktop computer 'thinks' it's on a different network when connected to the VPN than your wireless printer will be blocked from communication. The 100% way to resolve this issue would be to connect your HP Officejet to your computer through a USB Cable. If this is not an option than the next supported step would be to log into the VPN and open the document you need to print, then disconnect from the VPN and select file and print and everything should work fine.
Now there may be security settings or port settings that may have changed on the VPN which is why the printer is now being blocked from communicating over the network. To resolve this you would need the IT Department for your company to take a look into this issue for you.
I hope this helps clear up any confusion. Should you wish to connect your printer through a USB Cable connection I can certainly assist you with that. Best of luck!

Where are the Printing Presets in Acrobat located on Mac?

I have just upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.3 from Snow Leopard 10.6.8. All of my applications seem to be working fine, however my printing presets in Acrobat Pro X 10.1.13 are missing. Can I restore them from a Time Machine backup and if so where would they located? There seem to be a number of Library files related to Acrobat, but I'm not sure which ones contain the printing presets. I'm printing to an Epson Stylus Pro 3880. I don't want to have to re-create all the printing presets for that machine if I don't have to. I'm hoping someone can give me some advice on how to restore my much needed presets.

Kelvin:
Did you save the presets and give them a unique name so they could be selected at a later time?
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Cannot change Print Presets in iPhoto 08

Although I have saved multiple printing presets for other applications, in iPhoto 08 only "Standard" is available. This holds for all user accounts. Any way to correct this?
The problem is that "standard" prints on standard paper for my ink jet. Photos are therefore printed in low res.

Try the simple fix: delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, launch iPhoto and try again.

Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

Illustrator CC 2014- Unknown error when saving as PDF with Printer's Marks

I've been getting an error message (bellow) when I save a ANY of my AI file as PDF with Printer Marls (Trim Marks etc).
All fail attempts were files with: No transparencies - No effects - Simple Type (tried outlined and live) - Simple shapes.
I tried:
- Trash the Adobe Illustrator Settings folder
- Reboot the application
- Reboot computer
- Rebuild file
- Replace fonts
Please help. I'm a print designer and that's vital for my line of work.

Without system information and details like what PDF preset you use nobody can even begin to guess.
