CS3: Enable "Print Layer" checkbox?

Hello,
In the each layer dialog box there is a checkbox for "Print Layer". I'm trying to write a line of applescript that will enable that option for all layers in a document.
I'm new to scripting. Does anyone know what that command would be? Or know of another similar script that I might look at for guidance?
Thanks,
Dennis

Hi Dennis,
Please make yourself familiar with the example programs and documentation ( both installed and separate downloads ), to catch a general understanding. There is also plenty independent documentation on AppleScript itself.
Then you'd open your favorite object model browser such as AppleScript's dictionary, and search for the keyword "Layer".
That would show you layers live straight in documents, and have a "printable" property.
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
set printable of every layer of active document to true
end tell
Btw, AppleScript is a nice language, but at the beginning its near natural, verbose expressions make working programs look really simple and obvious, whereas beyond copy-paste jobs in my opinion it requires more learning than for most other languages I've seen - concepts such as multi level addressing ( of .. of ), complicated restrictions ( whose ... ) and implicit loops ( every ... ) come to mind.

  • HT4356 I have an air-print enabled printer: HP Premium e-all-in-one C310.  Can't print from iPad iOS6.  They're on the same network, but have different IP addresses.  On the iPad it's 192.16.1.126 and on my printer it's 192.168.1.133.  Can I match them? H

    I can't print from my iPad2 to my air-print enabled printer (HP Premium e-all-in-one C310).  They're on the same network, but have differed IP addresses!  The iPad IP is 192-168-1.126 and the printer is 192-168.1.133.  That's the only difference I can see.  Is there a way to fix this?

    fyi:
    you put periods between the numbers.
    Each device needs a unique number.
    for the 192.168.1 the right must number should vary.  192.168.1.x
    the numbers you have look ok.
    Power off all devices: wifi router, printer, ipad.. wait 10 minutes.  poweron router ... wait power on printer wait then power on ipad.
    cross fingers.

  • "Enable Disk Use" checkbox is grayed out, can't untick.

    Hi,
    I just got my new iPod 30 GB video today! I've been reading these discussions, but haven't found an answer for this tiny problem of mine.
    "Do Not Disconnect" constantly shows on the iPod screen when it's connected on the computer. Many have suggested ticking off "Enable Disk Use", but here's the problem: it's grayed out, and I can't change it, no matter what. I've gone through iTunes prefs, by right-clicking on the iPod in iTunes and selecting "iPod Options". My system seems to show iPod as a movable disk, but iTunes recognises it and I can easily put music into it, so I guess that isn't a problem (or is it?).
    But how could I get my hands on the "Enable Disk Use" checkbox? It just isn't "tickable" now.
    Thanks!

    If you have your iPod set to manual update, the "Enable Disk Use" box will be greyed out and ticked by default, in that case use Safely remove Hardware icon or check this link: "Disconnecting iPod from your computer
    " http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61135
    For Info:
    The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
    1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
    2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
    3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

  • Spooling a job to an AirPrint enabled printer is extremely slow (HP or Epson)

    Spooling a job to an AirPrint enabled printer is extremely slow (HP or Epson). 
    I am a technical support person for the CEO and other executives of a large corporation.  I've set up AirPrint capable printers in several homes and seem to be coming across the same issue in a number of these homes.  More often than not (the issue is intermittent) when I try to print something from an iPad or iPhone to an AirPrint enabled printer it takes almost a minute for the job to spool.  It doesn't seem to matter how long the document is either as the same thing happens whether it's one page or ten.  At times the iDevice cannot even find the printer even though the WiFi connection is excellent and the network is functioning properly. We have tried HP and Epson AirPrint devices and it happens to both.  When printing from a laptop wirelessly over the network, we do not experience this issue so I don't think it could be a network problem. 
    In any case, the network setup in these homes is fairly simple.  We have a wireless router, a gigabit switch connected to that which feeds various rooms throughout the home.  The rooms have Ethernet connections and we have APs set up in some of the rooms to ensure full wireless coverage.  In a few of the older home we use PowerLine APs to expand the network. 
    I've seen others with the same issue but have yet to see a fix.  We've tried updating the firmware on the printers, routers and APs but nothing has helped.
    HP Printers we've been using: PhotoSmart 7520, OfficeJet 6700 Premium
    Epson: Stylus NX430
    Does anyone have any other advice? 
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Once the job hits the printer it prints immediately.  It's right after you tap Print on the iPad that takes a long time. There is a box that pops up saying that the job is being processed (don't remember the wording exactly).  Once the box disappears it also takes a bit of time for the job to hit the printer. 
    The actual process of the printer printing is normal. 
    Also, in some cases the iPad won't even see that there is a printer connected to the network even though the printer is powered on, online and the iPad is connected to the home network.  Usually a reboot of the printer fixes this problem.
    Thanks

    How to enable Print Preview on the Envy 5530

    Hi,
    A print preview is not offered by the current HP software as older software versions provided.
    A preview is only available if the application you are printing from include a such, it is not provided by the printer driver itself.

    Very important is the span column paragraph property which allows to span several columns in a text frame or to split a column in several sub columns.
    Very important is the tag feature, which is also important for creating PDFs with unlimited access.
    A lot of problems with footnotes and page layout have been solved due to a better text engine. Up to CS5.5 it could happen that a footnote could force a page be empty when a document was opened.
    With CS5 rounded frame corners which are editable were introduced.
    Object Styles have been completed since CS3.
    Content tools to create linked content were introduced. You need only to change the original content (text or image) and all linked content will be updated as any other link. The linked content can be in the same and in any other document.
    Since CS5.5 it is much easier to anchor frames in a text flow with the little at the top of a frame symbol.

    Hello @arcticbear38,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're receiving a small portion on the left hand side of a document missing on both printers. I will do my best to assist you! Does this happen when you print from one program or many program(s)?
    Both of these printers are not indicating low on ink? I would recommend resetting the printing system on your computer by following this Apple document here. I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great night!

  • LPI/DPI not changing dot size in Illustrator CS3 when printing HELP!

    I'm having to us my wife's laptop which is an HP running windows vista. I am using Illustrator CS3 and printing with a Ricoh Aficio AP610N Adobe PostScript3 printer. All this I could do on my laptop before it messed up and it would work fine. Now though on my wife's laptop when I go to print a spot color with any type of halftone or gradient mesh and I change the lpi/dpi in the print dialogue box down to say like 25 or 30 from 106 the dots are still printing out very very tiny. There not printing out 25 or 30 dots per inch. There still at like 106 or 225 lpi/dpi. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!! Why wont they change to what I set it to??? Am i over looking something??? Again all this worked fine on my laptop I could change the lpi/dpi to 35 and they would print out big I could actually see them. And now on my wife's laptop they just keep printing out small real fine dots. The only difference between my laptop & hers is mines was a 64bit & hers is only a 32bit. Please help me someone!!!!!!!!!!!

    Look for printer settings in the printer's driver dialog that overide document halftone settings. Some HP laser printers, for example, have a so-called "resoution enhancement" setting that is on by default, and that overrides the document halftone rulings. It's quite possible you have turned such a setting off on your machine, but have not done so on your wife's.

  • Is it possible to print from my iPad to a Airprint-enabled printer in a wired LAN.

    Is it possible to print from my iPad to a Airprint-enabled printer in a wired LAN? My iPad is via WiFi connected to that LAN. The WiFi connection of the printer isn't used.

    My Canon MX715 printer is wired connected to the router. My iPad is via WiFi connected to the router.
    The printer could be connected via WiFi but I prefer the wired connection. So the printer is part of the LAN to which I get access with my iPad via a WiFi connection. A network scanner shows them all  connected into the LAN.
    My Windows Laptop also connected via WiFi to the same LAN finds the printer and works well every time.
    The iPad has troubles to find the printer.
    After a couples of hours by trial and error I found an app of Canon Easy PhotoPrint. After I installed the app I found my printer and could print. It worked for the apps at my iPad that have the print feature. After a while I discovered that the different apps at my iPad don't find the printer immediately every time when needed. After multiple trials it works again.
    So the big question that remains: Why doesn't it works always? Have I initialize something after start up or wake up the print access to the Lan?
