CS6 cant save the printer driver settings

The problem is similar to this http://forums.adobe.com/message/4431235#4431235
Illustrator simply does not save any of the settings in the driver tabs (such as custom print sizes, paper tipe, source tray etc) unless I hit the Print button (e.g. I cant save those settings temporarily by pressing the Done button nor I can save a print presset for a later use), and that is a very very very annoying thing an it brings back some memories of the time I upgraded to CS and CS2 and the case then was even worse because it didnt save the printer driver settings even by printing and allways reverted to the default settings, and now I remember why I hate Adobe so much, because they never had a fix for that until CS3 came out.
That issue has been tested with XP 7 Vista both 32 and 64 (a lot of printer drivers) and it is not a single configuration problem, so please before asking some questions about the kind of the system and software etc do the following with your CS6 (or CS,CS2) and please tell me what happens. Choose File->Print and in the dialog choose whatever printer you have, press 'Setup...' button in the lower left corner, ignore the stupid prompt that some unknown Adobe genius tech invented, press Preferences button in the new Print window that pops up and in the printer driver UI window choose whatever setting you like that differs from the default setting, and then press Ok then Print and in the main Illustrator print dialog pres Done (but not Print if you are in CS6) button to close the dialog. Then open the Print dialog window again, navigate to the printer driver you just adjusted and please tell me what settings you have - those that you adjusted or the default settings. Thank you in advance!

Thank you for the responceq Johny_07, unfortunately it solves the problem only if I have to specify the size of the media, but I need to specify the source tray, paper type and so on, parameters that are not present in the dialog box, and those are not remembered by Illustrator also. Do you experience that problem, I have allways wondered why there is no info concerning that problem, is it happening only with my instalations or it is a general program bug.

Print Driver Settings Not Saving at Print Dialog [IDCS3, Vista]

Hi. On our only design machine that runs Vista, when the user tries to print something from InDesign CS3 and has to turn on duplexing in the printer driver setup, on clicking OK, those settings immediately go away, and thus the document will not print duplexed. It works fine on our XP machines.
A workaround is to set such printer driver settings via Vista's Control Panel, and this does work, however it's a bit cumbersome, since we print all kinds of documents.
Pertaining Specs:
- Adobe InDesign CS3 (5.0.3) for Windows
- Vista Home SP1 (I think)
- Konica-Minolta Bizhub C500
- EFI Fiery 2.01 Driver for Vista / PostScript / Image Controller 405
It's similar to this issue, but the specs differ:
Michael C Stone, "Indesign documents reset printer settings IDCS2 XPSP2" #, 14 Jun 2008 5:19 pm

It does say, "Double-sided: Yes," in Windows' printer properties for the Bizhub PS (and PCL) Fiery driver(s) -- in fact, this may have been from me turning it on for the PS driver in Windows Registry, as it was off for some reason, but seemed to make no real difference anyway -- but I think the duplexing option would have been grayed-out in the Fiery driver's dialog if not available as some various other options are -- the driver has the capability to poll the device for such options availability -- and I don't actually see anything duplexing-related on the Installable Options tab, but the Installed list is identical to one of our XP computers with no apparent issues with printing to the drivers from InDesign -- although at one point, if a Vista user printed an InDesign document and saved it (and thus the printer settings), XP users for some reason couldn't print the document without forcing a change in the print driver settings, but I believe this was due to using the same drivers but different TCP/IP port configurations per machine (Vista doesn't need the IP_ prefix as XP seems to).

When I try disabling colour management in the printer driver, it keeps turning back on

I'm using Lightroom v2.4 and a Canon Pixma Pro 9500 printer with the latest driver. I've just tried to print from Lightroom for the first time since moving to this latest version of Lightroom and when I go into print setup and turn off colour management, the driver doesn't keep the setting. Nor does it allow me to do borderless printing. My choice of print quality is also lost - this never used to be a problem.
This is very frustrating and means I must use Photoshop to print which takes longer when there is much to do. Please can someone offer some advice. I can print from Photoshop without this happening.
Thanks
Joanne

Have you tried creating Print templates in LR? Available from the left panel
in Print module. That's what I do to make sure the printer driver settings
stay the same.
Are you quite sure you have the latest 9500 driver?
Eric
I'm using Windows XP SP3, and I have just one button at the bottom left of the
Lightroom print diaglogue window called 'Page settings', when you click this,
you can select the printer and go into properties, which is where I normally
disable colour management. It is also refusing to print at standard quality,
but it defaulting to high quality (which takes a lot longer).
Thing is that I can print from Photoshop without problems and it's from
Photoshop where I do much of my printing, but printing from Lightroom is good
if I have a big load of prints to do as it's so much quicker to set up and it
has the picture package facility.

I have downloaded the app game your video but i cant save the videos to my photo library and i cant enable permission because it doesn't appear in privacy settings

i have downloaded the app game your video but i cant save the videos to my photo library and i cant enable permission because it doesn't appear in privacy settings

If you have not provided access, you can do so by going to default Settings app > Privacy > Photos and switch ON Game Your Video.
Game Your Video saves all videos to its own library. To sync to Camera Roll, simply go to Library and tap on Multiple selection button. Now select the videos to copy and tap on Sync button in the bottom bar. (See screenshot attached)
But you still have some issues, just email it to their support team: [email protected]
Also update the app. Game Your Video 2.0 is available on the App Store.

Change print driver settings on canon printer to select one or two sided printing

My Canon print driver prints double sided by default. I want to change to single sided, or be able to select single or double on a per document basis. How do I change my print driver settings?

Here is the solution I used.
The Print driver for Canon, UFRII will default to double sided printing.
Select a document, and select Print.
Open Presets and select Show Presets (this step may not be necessary)
Open Layout, then open Finishing. Change Prunt Style to One side or one page
Open Presets and Save Current Setting. At this point you can change the name of the preset (one page) and select if the chafe is for only the selected printer or all (Canon) printers.
This sure seemed harder than it should be.

Is Lightroom sending sRGB to the printer driver?

Hello,
I've been trying to print something on a color laser printer with Lightroom. Unfortunately, Lightroom doesn't seem to support the profile of the printer, maybe it's a CMYK profile, and so I had to use the option "Profile: managed by printer" in Lightrooms print module.
In order to set up the printer driver correctly and let him handle the color management, I'd like to know what Lightrooms sends to the printer driver when the option "managed by printer" is set (and when draft mode is off!)
Thanks in advance

Jeff Schewe - 12:08am Jan 1, 08 PST (#2 of 8)
Version 1.0 sent sRGB
Uh, no...since the beta process, when not using draft mode, Lightroom ALWAYS sent ProProto RGB. Draft mode will send either sRGB or Adobe RGB depending on the settings for the previews.
Since the OP is printing to a laser printer as opposed to a photo printer, the best bet would be to print using draft mode anyway.
Jeff,
You may be right and I am sure you know more about this than I do, but in 1.0 I could print contact sheets to my laser printer with no problems with "managed by printer" selected and draft mode off. Since 1.1 I have not been able to get acceptable results regardless of whether I choose draft mode or not and regardless of the settings in the export module. I would love to solve this as it is the number 1 issue I have with Lightroom.

"Unable to save the raw conversion settings. There was a write permission error."

I just built a new workstation for processing photos using PS CS5. I use external drives to store my images as I find it easier for backing up as well as for when I want use my laptop for sorting, etc.. I copied over all my old "Collection" files, and of course, had to "fix" them once on the new machine. Once pointed in the right direction, the collections all fill out correctly.
When I go to process a collection though, I encounter an odd problem I can't seem to sort out. I can delete files, rename files, copy/paste to the external drives, etc.. What I can't seem to do is add Labels, Ratings, or modify RAW settings. I mean, I can use ACR to make adjustments, I just can't seem to save them.
The system just ignores label, rating commands completely. When I try to save an ACR adjustment I get this error. "Unable to save the raw conversion settings. There was a write permission error."
The files are NOT write protected. I'm set up as the owner of my workstation, with complete control of the system. I can't seem to find any useful information about this error because the "write permission error" seems to only be happening on installs, so that's all I can find help for.
My system:
Intel Core i7 970@ 3.20GHZ
24.0 GB RAM
64-bit OS - Windows 7 Pro
DX58S02 Motherboard
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580

Thanks for replying. I've been going crazy trying to fix this.
To answer your first question; I use sidecar XMP files. If everything from my archive was shot in RAW I'd try converting to DNG and see if embedding the changes directly in a file worked. Unfortunately, a lot of my old stuff was shot in JPG, so sidecars seems to be the best choice.
When I add labels, ratings, as well as change RAW settings on files I place on my workstations HD everything works. It's only when I try to do these things with the same files on removable drives that I run into trouble. The drives I use are Transcend 640GB StoreJet 25ms connected via USB.
I don't think it's a UAC problem. At least, to my understanding, doesn't that control how your machine alerts you to program changes? I looked into how to change ownership, and did so, but that didn't work. Here's a link to what I mean: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/windows-7-access-denied-permission-ownership/
I'm stumped. I also hate the idea that I'll have to go through various folders to find images from already created collections, copy them to a new folder on my HD and then work on them. Then I'll have to put them all back... ugghhhh

Why does Indesign change the print driver?

When I go into the print dialog and click on "setup" to go to the Minolta Bizhub C450 print driver, I find that the items that I have changed (like collate, double sided, grayscale, the list goes on) have been changed back to the original setting. When I print from Acrobat, I can change the print setting and they stay. Example: If I want to print a file thats two sided, I hit <control P>, <settings> and enter the printer driver. I tell it that I want to two sided and I want "Right Binding". Exit the printer driver, go back to Indesign print screen and hit print. The file has printed two sided but the binding position has defaulted back to auto, not the "Right Binding" that I had asked for.
I have the new version 6.0.4 but it seems like my problems have started after this new version. Does anybody else have this problem?

Hey
So why dont you just make up some presets because after making those setting whenever you go back it will change so after sending for the firrst time dont set again just ctrl p and enter it will still remember or use preset it
thanx

How do I get the printer driver for a hp officejet 6500 e709n?

How do I get the printer driver for a hp officejet 6500 e709n? When I add the printer, Apple says the software is not available and to contact the manufacturer. HP says it is available from Apple.

Hi Robmtu,
You can find the direct download here.

HP Officejet Pro 276dw MFP - can't connect with the printer driver (but web browser works)

Hi,
I used to own an 8500 pro which got replaced by the 276dw due to HW malfunctioning of the old model. I installed the driver (full set, win 8.1 64 bit) from the HP download area over the installed printer. I can access the printer using it's IP address. Ipad Airprint works well. The only problem is that I can't get the printer driver to connect to the printer, but the printer driver displays the printer with the correct address. Print and Scan doctor detects incomplete install and download 184MB, one bit at a time ... it will take more than an hour.
I believe - due to a message that something needs to be stopped during the install (in order to get rid of the SW for the old printer) - that this thing is stil stopped, and I need to restart that (or if it is a service I need to reset it to automatic start).
Any idea anyone?
Thanks and with best regards,
Holger

update: The Print and Scan doctor did not help, but I finally added the printer using the default windows method. So I can print, but scan to PC obviously doesn't work, and neither does the Fax printer. Help still appreciated.

My G4 can't read the printer driver disc of my BRAND NEW HP All-in-One

I am tearing my hair out on this one. I had an older HP AIO that died on me yesterday, so I ran out and bought a spanking new version, the C4280. I don't recall having any problem setting up the older printer (a psc 1315) and I can't remember whether I installed the driver from the disc or the website. Anyway, I got to Step 11, connected the USB cord as instructed, put in the disc, and my little mushroom whirred in a whisper for about 30 seconds, then spat out the disc. I tried again, unplugged, rebooted, yadda yadda, every config. I could think of, and I still got the whhrrrrwhirrrr, SPIT. I called HP and the 4280 is so new they don't have the drivers up on the website yet, so the very nice Canadian techie verfied that yes, there was only one CD for both Windows AND Mac, and yes, my G4 could read other CDs (my LaCie)--but strangely enough NOT the printer driver for the original psc 1315, which got the same whirrrr-SPIT treatment. So either I originally got the driver off the website, or my G4 has lost some critical cells since then. Now I have occasionally had trouble reading commercial DVDs--I get told they're a blank disc. But I never even made it to that stage with this printer driver disc.
The upshot is they are FedExing me a new printer driver disc tomorrow, this one apparently made especially for MACs. But I'm nervous because of what happened when I tried to put the old psc 1315 driver disc in.
Any thoughts?

How can I tell if the print driver was updated?

I am sorry to ask such a basic question, but I cannot for the life of me figure it out. I'm in System Profiler>Printers and I can see me printer says the driver version is 3.0.1. Is this the right place to check drivers? I have downloaded an update to make it vs. 7.3.1, but it hasn't changed.
I am trying to get my HP 2355 AOI to scan (like everyone else), and I can't figure out what to do after the download and install of 2350731EN-1.dmg. I download it, install it and yet the driver version doesn't change. I think I am missing a step.
Thanks.

This is the version number for HP's current drivers for most of their inkjets and multifunction devices.
Is this the right place to

This is the version number for HP's multifunction device driver set. It includes the printer driver, the scanner driver, and assorted other stuff.

You did everything right. HP's site is less than clear on the matter.
You should be able to scan using the drivers in the 7.3.1 driver set, plus a graphics app such as Photoshop or Graphic Converter. There should be an app called (I think, I'm not at home where my HP MFD lives right now) HP Scan which will be called by the graphics app, or by HP Image Zone, and can be launched by itself if necessary.
Some HP MFDs can also use VueScan. HP MFDs don't seem to like Apple's Image thingie.

Can we save the printing preference of FR reporting per report per user?

We are using Hyperion Planning and Financial Reporting version 11.1.1.1. Some of our users will generate PDF for printing (HTML format is badly printed out).
However can we have the option to save the printing preference of each FR report? As some reports are in portrait and some are in landscape format, it is preferred users can setup the printing preference per user per report so that they can choose the paper size and printing orientation.
Thanks in advance!

OK; should this be submitted to http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter/?
I'm unsure about the best setup for this, but here is some brainstorming:
- In Workgroup Manager or Directory, an administrator can designate a user to 'auto-accept' invitations if the user is available at that time.
- Ideally, one would be able to establish an ACL for auto-acceptance, so that a user or admin could designate a list of users/groups from whom a user should auto-accept invites.
- If a user is set to auto-accept, it is reasonable to assume that this user is either unable to use iCal or does not regularly check their calendar, so invites that are not auto-accepted should be handled somehow. For example, a notification could be e-mailed to the user, an invitation accept/decline message could be sent to the iCal account of a designated administrator or delegate, etc.
I am imagining this for the case of my division, in which we have one person scheduling for lots of people, but I think that the idea of being able to delegate a person to be able to add things to one's calendar without confirmation and to confirm invites from non-privileged users would be useful in other cases as well. For example, a boss wants an administrator/secretary to be able to schedule things on his/her calendar, but does not want this person to be able to see all of the details of existing items on that calendar. I suppose that in this case it would be unclear to which calendar the designate should add the event initially, but I'm sure that for many people the privacy of the boss's calendar is more important than the inconvenience of having to create a throwaway calendar for events created by the delegate.
If anyone has any thoughts to help refine this, please let me know and I will incorporate that into my writeup.
Thanks,
Greg

Does using Group Policy Preferences to deploy printers require the print driver to be pre-installed?

I'm trying to prepare our school system for Windows 7 (we currently use XP). I would like to use the new Group Policy Preferences method of deploying printers. I pushed out the XP client side extensions through WSUS. In my test environment, I added the shared printer in group policy preferences. My XP machine had the printers show up automatically, but my Windows 7 machine did not. I realized that I had previously connected a printer of the same type to my XP machine before and the drivers were already installed. To test this theory, I manually connected the shared printers to the Windows 7 machine, deleted them, then logged off and back on. Now the printers are showing up from group policy. My question is does using group policy preferences to deploy printers require the print driver to be pre-installed? If not, then what am I doing wrong? If so, is there a way to work around this? Thanks for your help.
EDIT: To clarify, I am using the share method in GPP. This is the error message I get in the event log:
The user 'PRINTERNAME' preference item in the 'win7 printer test {946461A1-27F8-406F-A0B3-0A1A05AF34F6}' Group Policy object did not apply because it failed with error code '0x80070bcb The specified printer driver was not found on the system and needs to be downloaded.' This error was suppressed.
