Default print settings

I need to change my default print settings to black and white. I've changed it in the print dialog box to grayscale, but when I print coupons, that box doesn't come up; it just automatically prints in color. My Dell desktop let me change the default print settings for my exact same printer, so it's not a problem with the printer. Please help. Thanks.

Have the same issue.  Did you get it resolved?

  • Any way to override default printer settings into a PDF

    Hi -- I work for a large organization that has lots of computers and printers and prints a lot of forms and documents.  We are moving towards more digitization of documents and records including printing forms as needed as opposed to having large sets of forms onhand.  This should save us a lot of time and money once complete as these forms often change and the old process would be to then trash much of these documents and re-print for just one change.  The majority of our printers do have letter & legal trays as well as duplex support, however due to the vast number of users the default printer settings tied to each user and/or computer may be slightly different.  While standardizing all the printer settings across all users/computers would be one solution, we don't anticipate doing this as depending on the job peformed the different settings may be more preferable / advantageous for that user.
    As such the other solution I can think of is to hardcode the specific printer settings needed to correctly print a large document into that PDF file which may differ from that computer's print settings.  For example, the default computer print settings may be to print on just 1 side but duplex would be encoded / scripted directly into the PDF so IRREGARDLESS of the computer/printer settings this document would always print duplexed.
    Is there anyway to do this?  I would need to do more than just duplexing -- ie some form sets would need to be both duplexed and 'fit to printable area' whereas some would need to be only on one page and 'shrunk to printable area', etc, etc.  Our current practice is to insert a 1 page coversheet at the front of each document with the printer settings that need to be used for that form set, however this has been difficult for some users to do and has caused unnecessary time with our IT troubleshooting form printing.

    Hi Brandon,
    You can use the Print Presets in Acrobat for that purpose. Please follow the steps below:
    1. Open the PDF in Acrobat
    2. Open Document Properties dialog (using Ctrl + D)
    3. Select the "Advanced" tab
    4. In the "Print dialog Presets" section, you can choose DuplexMode as well as Page Scaling for this document.
    Please let us know if this works for you
    Thanks,

  • Default printer settings for HP Deskjet 882c

    All I want to do is set this printer to print in black and white by default. If I wanted color, I would use my other printer ... I want faster than a snails pace so I brought this one back out.
    Being a PC for my entire life, this should be an easy thing to set the default print settings on the printer. I don't see them!
    What I am printing is emails off hotmail ... tons of them ... going back months ... so please don't ask me to add an additional step here ...
    Pulling my hair out here ... help would be lovely!

    You are on the right track for sure. The claim code is in fact printed in blue, so if your color inks are low or empty it will not show up. 
    I noticed there are 2 version of the 6500A, I will go under the assumption that you do not have the 'Plus' version since you didn't specify this, shouldn't be a big discrepancy either way (let me know if I am wrong).
    Viewing your ink levels is covered here, your Cyan ink cartridge could be empty : http://goo.gl/RjIhbp
    You can still find the claim code on the front panel of your printer without color ink. Go back to web services on your printers display and it will show your "*@hpeprint.com" email address. The prefix before the "@" is in fact your code.
    Also note that your code has most likely expired, which happens after 24 hours of being generated. Not a big deal. If your code has expired you will have to reset the web services in your printer, this will generate a new printer code. You can do this easily from the front panel of your printer.
    Follow this link and expand the section “What if I lose my printer code before registering?” under “Frequently asked questions (FAQs)”
    http://goo.gl/0WUyIe
    (*a note on step 4, some firmware updates may have simplified this entire step to be simply “remove web services”)
    After enabling the web services again the printer code area will still be blank if you are out of cyan ink. 
    Regardless the new code will display on the front panel (under web services).
    I hope this gets you going with ePrint. Let me know if you are having issues printing in color beyond this, or if you are still experiencing difficulties with ePrint.

    Hi,
    Try saving your settings as a Preset by clicking the Preset drop down and then select Save Current Settings as a Preset.
    Next try changing the settings by selecting the saved preset.
    That allow saving the settings for a specific printer, I assume it may also allow selecting these settings for another printer.

  • Push default printer settings from server - setprinter.exe ?

    Hi,
    I need to push out some new default printer settings (mono and duplex) for 300 printers across about 12 x 2003/2008 print servers.  All of these devices are already mapped by around 2500 WinXP/7 users, so reconnecting the devices for everybody is not
    an option, nor is redeploying via GPO.  I've read the following thread, which appears to explain what I need to do:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverprint/thread/a0a9bb3f-db24-417d-9905-c310d068d3c6/ 
    Firstly, I need the latest version of setprinter.exe, as the one I've got is date stamped April 2003, which I assume is the one that fails to work with devmode 9.  Does anybody know where I can get this from?
    Secondly, I think it says that the clients will periodically update themselves with the server's default settings.  This is perfect, if correct.  However, would anybody please be able to explain when these periodic updates take place?
    Many thanks in advance !

    Hi,
    There is a tool named "setprinter.exe" tool in the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit.
    Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit can be downloaded from the link below:

    As far as I know, there is no Windows Server 2008 Resource Kit for download, some of the MS Press have some books include Windows® Server 2008 Security Resource Kit
     http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/book.aspx?ID=11841&locale=en-us
    Windows Server® 2008 Resource Kit (bundle)

    You may find ll the entire RESOURCE KIT on CD attached with the book.
    Windows Server 2008 R2
    ==================
    No resource kit Tools & Support tools are available for 2008R2...everything is on the OS already
    Secondly, I think it says that the clients will periodically update themselves with the server's default settings.
    >> Do you mean group policy refresh? By default, computer Group Policy is updated in the background every 90 minutes, with a random offset of 0 to 30 minutes. In addition to background updates, Group Policy for the computer is always updated when the

    Hope this helps!

  • Default Printer Settings

    Am just setting up my first Mac. Have connected a Brother 5150D printer which works fine both on Mac and on wireless network but..... as most of my printing is duplex (to save paper) I want to set this as the default and get two-sided printing each time I click the print icon in Office Mac or any other application. I have set up the printer and gone to http//:127.0.0.1.631/printers and set the parameters to duplex - no tumble and set the duplex option in printer preferences/layout. Despite these default settings when I click the print icon it always prints single sided. The only way I can get duplex printing is to click file/print/copies & pages/layout/2 sided/long edge binding and hit print. I have restarted the Mac after changes, recycled the printer, deleted and reinstalled the printer but the icon default seems to remain insistent on printing single sided
    Help please!!

    Hello dgcornett,
    Depending on which printer that you have, the software interface to change the default print settings could vary. You can click the link below to view steps to change the settings on the Photosmart 7510 series printer, which is a recently released printer.

    If you can specify the printer that you have, more specific steps can be posted.

  • Officejet 7310 "steals" my default printer settings

    My Officejet 7310 "steals" my default printer settings from two other printers I use. I wish there was a way to have HP respond to me about this but no luck so far. I have installed a little program suggested at another forum - "set default printer" but it doesn't help. When I fax from the 7310, for instance, I get my unpleasant surprise the next time I print .  
    Any suggestions for a cure, or for getting HP's attention, or both?

  • Excel 2010 not using the default print settings

    Currently got an issue with Excel 2010 not using the default print settings for a couple of users on our network,
    basically when pressing cntrl P or selecting the print option from the file menu the printer settings are different to the print settings selected in the devices and printers menu, we have checked the print drivers etc but this has still not resolved the
    issue, all other office programs are fine and also other users are reporting this issue more and more with different printers,
    tried restarting print spooler service and re-installing office but this has come to no avail,
    any ideas would be much appreciated!

    Hi,
    This issue occurs because the Page Setup settings that you specify in your file override the settings that you specify in the printer driver properties.
    To work around this issue, do not specify the paper size, page orientation, or page margins in the printer driver properties. Instead, specify these settings in your workbook.
    To specify these settings, follow these steps:
    1.Start Excel, and then open the workbook you want to change.
    2.In Microsoft Office Excel 2010, click the sheet that you want to print, and then click the Page Layout tab. In the Page Setup group, click Page Setup to open the Page Setup dialog box.
    3.Click the Page tab.
    4.Under Paper size, click the paper size that you want.
    5. Click Options button and in Printing Shortcuts tab, in the Paper source area, perform one of the following steps:  ◦If the printer can automatically select the correct paper tray to use, click Default tray in the First page list, and then click Default
    tray in the Other pages list.
    Default tray is the default setting in both of these lists.
    ◦If the printer cannot automatically select the correct paper tray to use, you may have to select the paper tray that contains the paper size that you selected in step 4.
    To do this, click the appropriate paper tray in the First page list and in the Other pages list.
    6.If you want to change the page orientation or its page margins, click the Finishing tab.
    7.Select the options that you want.
    8.Click OK.
    9.Repeat steps 2 to 8 for each sheet of your workbook for which you want to specify settings.

  • Changing Permanent Default Print Settings

    Hello All,
    A few months ago, I somehow managed to change my print settings permanently to B&W. I know it wasn't just changed to grayscale through the print menu when I try to print a document. I have a Canon MP470 and am running Leopard OS X. I remember having to go through lots of layers of menus to get it to do this, I just don't remember how I got there.
    A page somewhere on the internet showed step by step how to do this. I can no longer find it. I know my printer still prints color as it will still make color copies using the copy machine function.
    Does anybody have any idea how to undo this?
    Thanks for your help!

    The location of the grayscale setting would depend on which driver you are currently using. There are two Canon provided drivers, a v6.9.3 and a v10.1.2 'CUPS' driver. There is also a Gutenprint offering and there is also PrintFab.
    If you open System Preferences > Print & Fax and select the MP470 in the Printers list, you can check the version of driver you have by selecting the Options & Supplies and looking at the General tab.
    For the v6.9.3 driver, the Grayscale Printing setting is located under the Quality & Media menu. If you selected this and then made a Preset, then that would give you a default b&w option.
    But your post suggests that you changed more than this so I'm not sure what you would have done differently to the above. There is no function to default the printer to b&w via the machine control panel.
    If you want to keep your locked b&w driver you could add another printer queue using the same version driver or the other version driver.
    Or if you want to remove the current b&w driver, then you could reset the printing system and then add a new printer queue.

  • I want to set default printer settings to be used only for a specific type of application, certain documents. All other print jobs should use a different default setting for the printer.

    I am printing a specific document from a web based application. This document need to be printed in landscape. So I would like to set the default settings for this specific printer to landscape. But for all other printers it should be portrait. But this does not seem to work. The browser picks the settings from the standard/default printer and uses this for all print jobs.

  • InfoView not defaulting print settings from Crystal Reports XI

    I have a form/report created from Crystal Reports XI published to InfoView that has the print settings set for the manual tray when printed. When running the report in InfoView, it does not default to the manual tray when printing. I am publishing directly from Crystal Reports. I have the Process/Print Setup 'Set layout to: Report file default' and the Schedule/Format 'Use options saved with report' checkbox checked. I am not finding any other settings to tell InfoView to use the report page layout/printer settings. Anyone know of any other options I should check? Thanks!

    That would be the correct forum as this one is for SDK issues only.
    If you are not getting helped on the other BO forum you may want to consider creating a case if you have a valid support contract.

  • Default printer settings in Reader X? Why must I reset my print option each time?

    Each time I try to print a pdf, the application takes over the printing duties instead of allowing my printer options to come up. There is the option to set printer options by clicking on the "Printer..." button. This is annoying to be sure, but the big problem is that I have to do this each time I desire double sided printing, which is always. If the application demands control over printing, it should be able to utilize the features offered by my printer and set a default print option. In the very least, it should used the last printer option selected. Is there any way to do this? It is annoying and often wastes paper as I use command P/Enter to print when I'm in a hurry.
    On the up side, I love that it was easy to set the default page view/zoom options.

    USB interface? Are you using one of those USB to parallel adapter cables?
    They don't allow two-way comm - which is how the printer tells the computer "done with this page."
    You can try this special USB driver that deals with this problem:

    Any reason you stopped using network printing?
