Default Printer not sticking in 10.4.10 (Previous posts keep getting cut
Sorry, my previous posts keep getting cut off after the first line.
This is something I've just noticed in the last few days.
I have three printers plus the Adobe PDF printer in my printer list: an Epson SC Photo 2200 with all of its variants, an Epson SC 740, a LaserWriter IIg (in great shape), and the PDF virtual printer.
Although I have repeatedly set the Epson 2200 Standard Minimize Margins as my default printer, every time I select a different printer in the Print dialog box, that one becomes the default printer. I have to launch the Printer Setup Utility to change it back.
I print to the Epson 2200 out of Photoshop CS3 and other Adobe applications, to the Apple Laserwriter IIg out of Word and Excel, to the Epson 740 out of Firefox, and to PDF out of Firefox, Word, TextEdit, etc.
It doesn't matter in which application I call the Print command, whichever printer I choose in the printer driver dialog box or in Page Setup becomes the default printer.
Everything is printing fine, but I would prefer to have a constant default printer. Photoshop CS2 and CS3 have printing issues unless the default printer is the one to which I'm printing.
This anomaly has been happening since before a video display card upgrade two days ago.
Has there been a change, or do I need to start thinking about Archive and Install of the OS?
I'm a fanatic about Repairing Permissions before and after any software install or update, running DiskWarrior, etc.
Any input will be greatly appreciated.

Could you provide the community with a little more information to help narrow troubleshooting? Things like your printer model and your operating system help out a lot.

I can not sync my ipad with my pc, I keep getting a 1618 error message

I have scoured these pages and cannot find a solution (is there one?) to the problem I have in printing to the default printer that I selected in Print & Fax. The documents were originally created in Appleworks (preceded iWorks/Pages) and "converted" to Pages by simply dragging them to a blank Pages template. Of course, I can select the desired printer in the Print dialog window but this can get tedious when printing multiple items. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This bug has existed for as long as Pages has, since iWork '05, & still has not been fixed.
The best workaround I've heard of is to create a desktop printer & drag the files to it to print.
And, most important, leave feedback for Apple, making sure you classify it as a bug. You can find it under the Pages menu > Provide Pages Feedback. -
Web Report Viewer - Default Printer not picked up
We have a web application that previews Crystal Reports and prints via ActiveX. The report is set to a printer called 'RICOHC4000Letters'.
The client side has another printer call 'RICOHC4000' with the same printer driver. And I understand that the ActiveX printing looks for the printer driver on the client side. So if you understand what I mean, the default printer when printing is set to 'RICOHC4000' instead of the one set on the report.
We are using Crystal Reports 2008 SP3, FP3.3.
Hope anyone can help or anyone has run in the same situation.
Thanks in advance.
NoelHi Noel,
If you search using here you'll find post on how to. Here's one part I used with a common dialog box to select the printer, note this is a Windows app:
private void btnSetPrinter_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument pDoc = new System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument();
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.PrintReportOptions rasPROpts = new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.PrintReportOptions();
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.PrintOptions MYPRTOpts = new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.PrintOptions();
if (rdoCurrent.Checked)
pDoc.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = cboCurrentPrinters.Text;
MYPRTOpts.PrinterName = cboCurrentPrinters.Text;
MYPRTOpts.PaperSize = (CrPaperSizeEnum)
pDoc.PrinterSettings.PaperSizes[cboCurrentPaperSizes.SelectedIndex].Kind;
MYPRTOpts.PaperSource = (CrPaperSourceEnum)
pDoc.PrinterSettings.PaperSources[cboCurrentPaperTrays.SelectedIndex].Kind;
// added the below line to verify the changes work.
MYPRTOpts.PaperOrientation = CrPaperOrientationEnum.crPaperOrientationLandscape;
MYPRTOpts.PrinterDuplex = CrPrinterDuplexEnum.crPrinterDuplexVertical;
MYPRTOpts.DissociatePageSizeAndPrinterPaperSize = true;
else
pDoc.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = cboDefaultPrinters.Text;
MYPRTOpts.PrinterName = cboDefaultPrinters.Text;
MYPRTOpts.PaperSize = (CrPaperSizeEnum)
pDoc.PrinterSettings.PaperSizes[cboDefaultPaperSizes.SelectedIndex].Kind;
MYPRTOpts.PaperSource = (CrPaperSourceEnum)
pDoc.PrinterSettings.PaperSources[cboDefaultPaperTrays.SelectedIndex].Kind;
MYPRTOpts.PrinterDuplex = CrPrinterDuplexEnum.crPrinterDuplexVertical;
MYPRTOpts.DissociatePageSizeAndPrinterPaperSize = true;
rptClientDoc.PrintOutputController.ModifyPrintOptions(MYPRTOpts);
MessageBox.Show("Printer set.", "RAS", MessageBoxButtons.OK,MessageBoxIcon.Information );
rptClientDoc.PrintOutputController.PrintReport(rasPROpts);
MessageBox.Show("Printing report.", "RAS", MessageBoxButtons.OK,MessageBoxIcon.Information );
You can simply ignore that part and this should allow you to print. Also realize this is server side printing only. One option would be to export to PDF, stream that to the users PC and then they can print it locally.
Thank you

Add printer not sticking through restart
Hello,
Something's gone wrong with my printers in that I can't add a printer until I reset the printing system (error message). Then the printer stays (and works fine) until the next time I start up, when I need to reset the printing system again and re-add the printer.
any ideas on this?
thanks in advanceTry Printer Setup Repair from www.fixamac.net.

I'm getting error code 2330 when I try to update my itunes. I'm not able to update, repair or uninstall!!!!
Hi I was having the same problem using ADE 2.0.
I contacted the LiveChat support (link button did not show when using Firefox 31), which gave me this link. http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/error-e_act_not_ready.html
After I edited the Registry and then restarted ADE I was able to ReAuthorize my machine. Hope this works for you. -
I received a replacement phone from the Apple Store and since I brought my phone home I can not get it to connect to my network. I've reset the iPhone and reset my home network. Any suggestions?
Hello AriJR,
Thanks for the question, that definitely sounds frustrating. Are you able to isolate the issue further (i.e. does the iPhone connect to other good-known Wi-Fi networks?)
I would recommend following the Wi-Fi troubleshooting assistant here:
Apple - Support - iPhone - Join a network Assistant
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/wifi/
For more detailed information/troubleshooting steps, see this resource:

I have a new ipad and have used the community to answer questions for myself. Your help has been great! I don't know how you got my sailsalot name from my Skype account but I signed in with you as "gags76" and got help with my new ipad. I discovered I used a different Apple id and password on my ipad from my computer (imac) and changed that. My e-mail is **********. Could you email me if there is something I should do at my end. I have to use itunes to sync with my ipad so I have been going back and forth between the two. Should I sign in with my proper Apple id on my ipad?

The download appears to work ,it extracts the files then a box comes up saying I can't run it as this user( with the name of my login),. gives me the option to check my login name or check administer with a password. I have tried both, I am the only administer on the computer. Using windows vista. I have searched and some of the things like turorials etc are on my computer but I can't get the actual browser to open and there is no shortcut for firefox. Currently I am using IE since chrome kept freezing up, so does IE.
Can you give me a screenshot of the User Accounts window in Control Panel?
Please create a screenshot by following the guide mentioned at [[How do I create a screenshot of my problem?]].
Once you've done this, attach the saved screenshot file to your forum post by clicking the '''Browse...''' button below the ''Post your reply'' box. You really help us to visualize the problem.
