Controlling printing and printer

I am trying to control Adobe Pro (create OLE object of AcroExch) during the printing phase with a number of different options for a print shop. So far so good with a couple of exceptions:
a) If Adobe is up when we go to set the printer, I cannot, the print job comes out on the last printer used. Is there a way around this?
b) In most cases I am printing the same number of pages as before, i.e. splitting a 4000 page job into x-number of pages (in order to staple automatically at EOJ) - but the "sub-jobs" are not coming out in the spool in order for some reason.
c) The customer wants to save (to use later) and change certain settings, i.e. staple, fold, ... through my external application. These types of items are not usually in the printer DevMode, though occasionally some are. Is there a way to pass a DevMode or an extended DevMode through Acrobat object calls to reset/set different print options for a specific run?
Bobby

Kind of a mis-quote on my behalf. I was refering to the Reader IKLA costs, but I could/should do this under Pro. So ignoring that point...
From AcrobatPro I still have the same questions:
a) I need to automate all the printing and splitting of a document. Can this all be automated where a specific plug-in runs on startup?
b) If Acrobat is running (via a user), can I manipulate the printer and it's settings for a new instance? This cannot be done under the OLE model, setting the pritner seems to be ignored.

How do i set up the eprint from my blackberry so i can send emails to my printer and print them off

how do i set up eprint on my blackberry so i can send emails from my phone to the printer and print off

Hi Tanya_Carroll,
You can follow this link to set up ePrint.
http://h71028.www7.hp.com/hho/us/en/ep/articles/setting-up-mobile-printing.html
Once ePrint is setup, you can send an email to the printer's email address.
Be sure to use one of these email clients when sending to the printer. If the Blackberry will not send using your original email address, setup a new email account on the Blackberry and try again.

AirPlay won't recognize printer and print although HPprint app does

My iPad will not print from AirPlay and shows no printer on my wifi network from AirPlay. However, I can print from my HPprint app and the app recognizes my printer on my wifi network. Any suggestions to get AirPlay to recognize the printer and print?

HP Photosmart C4795.
Maybe not on the approved list even though the app recognizes it?

Slow Print and Print Setup command in Reader Ver. 8.1.2

Print and print setup command take over 30 seconds to load on Reader ver. 8.1.2. I tried ver 6 and same thing happens. Using the print shortcut and same thing happens.
System: New Dell computer (Windows XP Pro, SP2). Any advice would greatly be appreciated.

You are not alone. Same problem here on a brand new computer with 2GB of RAM. Three minutes total to print a small, black and white 1 bit, 15 page pdf file. Previous to 8.1.2 (8.1.1) the same version printer drivers (Xerox Phaser 8860 Series) worked fine (both PS and PCL versions). I've been trolling for a fix this morning - so far nothing.

Can I hook up my ipad to a printer and print with it?

I work in a rural area where we can only get satelite internet. We want to start printing orders here and I know there is an app for printing, however we do not have a wireless printer, Do we need to buy one or can I use the charging cord my Ipad came with and hook it up with the USB to my existing printer and print that way? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Tiffany

You'll need a printer that is compatible to AirPrint, see this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
You can't use the cord to connect.
There are apps inn the app store that let you print over the Internet, without having an AirPrint compatible printer.

Updation of table after Print and Print-Preview in smartform

Hi,
I am having a requirement where i need to print multiple deliveries with the sales order data each delivery on a new page using smartform.
Now , i am using SSF_OPEN, SSF_CLOSE Fm's for the same. I need to update a Z table after the user clicks on PRINT from the pop-up or print from the print preview screen.
I tried using the output_info parameter in the smartform where i read from a post that the OUTPUTDONE parameter becomes "X" in the job_output_info when the user clicks print wither in the two ways said before.
This does not work out in case if the FM'S SSF_OPEN and SSF_CLOSE are used.
Kindly help me on the same.
Thanks in advance

yes i tried that..using the AT new event for a Delivery and then a command to go to the NEW PAGE, but somehow when i execuet the form, i could not see the layout..so in the debug i saw the subrc after the FM is run..it says SUBRC = 2 i.e. internal error. I am not able to figure that out.
So i had to use these open and close, nowi just want to update a z table if the user clicks on the print button (print preview screen) after using the print preview .
Kindly suggest.
Thanks.

All of a sudden Very Slow Printing and Print to PDF

I am running OSX 10.4.11 on A G4. I was having no trouble printing to a HP2500. The time to print or print to a PDF was fast from all my applications. I am focusing on InDesign CS for this discussion. I changed recently to a HP 3600N and also to 10.4.11. Now it takes 1 hour to prepare a 28 page color document for printing. Once job is sent to the printer it takes about 3 minutes to actually print it. The slow rendering of the document also occurs when creating a PDF using the Print dialog. I tried the 2500 as a test and found the same problem. It appears that 10.4.11 is the culprit. I tried the same document on my iMac running an older OSX and I had no problem. I wish I had my back up drive still on 10.4.9 so I could check that out but alas I backed up and now have the 10.4.11 OS mirrored on that drive.
I am out of business until I can resolve this problem.
Eagerly awaiting advice!
Dan

Drive A is 60 GB with 3.66GB free.
Running OSX from that drive should really slow it to a Crawl, and is getting to the dangerous point... you need at least 12GB fre, 30 GB would be better.
Nt certain why the other is so slow... did you open Activity Monitor & observe CPU, Memory & such while it is slow?
If you can free some space on the Internal, Might give a try with Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.

I can print from every app on my MacBook except with Firefox. Printing and print preview only produces blank pages???

I have a MacBook Pro with Mac OS 10.6.4. Within Firefox, if I select File -> Print and then select preview a get a blank page. The same thing occurs if I sent the print request to my printer. I can print and preview from Safari and from any other application. Firefox is the only app that I can't print from.

Is there anyone who can assist????

HT3771 How do I get my computer to recognize my printer and print both Windows7 and Safari?

I added Parallel software to my MacBook Pro 10.6.8.It was printing fine then asked me to connect usb. I was just choosing esc. I think I chose connect Windows. Now won't print some things. How do I get it to print all things on both sides? Thanks for your time

You need to connect your printer to your WiFi router wirelessly - maybe by using the printer's front panel (if it has one) or maybe by using a Windows (usually) PC connected to the printer with a USB cable.
Once that's done, you can disconnect the USB cable, and print wirelessly. From your description, I'm not sure you've done this required first step.

Bran New to Mac - Printer and Printer Setup Question

I am very new to Macs, and I'm getting a Macbook Pro when Leopard comes out.
Would I need a certain printer for the laptop and a certain connector that I would need to buy seperatly for it?
-Shaun

Hi Shaun
Congratulations on the Macbook Pro!
Almost every modern printer will work just fine with the laptop. Most commonly, you would get one with a USB connection, which will attach directly to the laptop. Such a printer could also connect to an Airport Extreme/Express, and then you could print wirelessly. Make sure that the printer comes with a USB cable, or buy one - it'll likely have a "square" USB connection for the printer, and a "flat" connection for the Macbook's USB port.
Some printers also have network connections, so they can attach to a network device (like a router) and the Macbook would be able to discover and print to it, but this is more common with larger printers such as office laserjets.

MacBook Pro not recognising printer and printer list empty

my MacBook Pro isn't recognising my printer. This happened before Yosemite update. I looked in the printer list and my printer was the only one there. On advice I deleted it and tried to re add it. There are no printers in the list to click on. I have a canon MP280. I upgraded to Yosemite and still no luck.
i Also wanted to ask if my printer can be attached to a BT home hub.
Thanks in advance
