Do Print Settings... "presets" stick on Macs ?

I can't seem to have the printer set up saved out stick in LR Print settings.
When clicking on Print settings the previously saved out preset is in the drop down list and selectable. I select it check all the settings, and click save bottom right LR Print dialogue box button.
The Print settings always default to Standard, the default in the presets.
When printing I've selected the same preset but the prints were not printing with the presets selected ex., Gloss Enhancer was selected but didn't print.
Are these sticking for you?
MacOsX 10.4.8, LR 1.0 HP Z3100 PS

The trick is to always save every different print setting in the os dialog as Standard.
When save a LR Print Template.
This might seam weird. But it works.
The Standard setting will be "replaced" with the settings you used prior to saving the lr print template.

User Print templates will not hold Print Settings Presets

User print templates set up for different papers will not remember/hold Print Settings Presets

Jeff,
You are correct it does work, I added a step not needed - I created a Preset on the Print Setting page, I should have left that as Default, it works that way. How pleasant to get a response from you, I just watched Camera to Print & Screen #39 Print from Lightroom this morning where I learned about Print templates. Thanks so much.

Printing with presets in Word:mac 2008

Hi,
I want to be able to print with a chosen preset in Word 2008, because by calling "print", it uses the default setting.
I tried:
tell application "Microsoft Word"
tell (file print)
set Presets to "My Preset"
print
end tell
end tell
and
tell application "Microsoft Word"
print with properties {Presets:"My Preset"} without print dialog
end tell
to no avail... it doesn't report any error it just prints with the default preset.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Where are printer driver presets stored in Mac OS X 10.5?

I just bought a new Mac Pro and will be manually migrating files from my G5 PPC. I have several printer presets for three different printers, and I'd really hate to lose them. Where are they stored? I want to make sure I drag them over to the new MP.
Thanks.

They are in your home directory's Preferences folder:
/<home>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.print.custompresets.plist
Hope this helps.

LR 1.4.1 not saving print settings on Mac OS 10.5.2

1.4.1 won't save (or use) any print settings other than "Standard". In the print module if I select print settings, choose a printer and it's settings (like paper type and color management) then close the dialog the settings aren't saved or even used. It will only print with the "Standard" setting.
Tried on 2 systems and with new database.
- Joe

As far as I know, it's always behaved like this. The solution is to get the print settings the way you want, save it under Standard, and then save the setting as a Lightroom preset. The print settings will stick with the preset.

Mail port settings not sticking

I'm having trouble with port settings not sticking in mac mail. When I start Mac Mail (v5.1, running in Lion) the program won't read mail in my iCloud account because the port settings are incorrect (port 143). I click on the "Use SSL" box, which changes the port setting to 993. I save the changes and everything works fine until I quit and restart the program. The port settings revert to 143 and the SSL box is unchecked. The issue, obviously, is that the changed settings are not being saved. I deleted the iCloud IMAP account and reinstalled. It reinstalled with the correct 993 SSL setting, but as soon as I quit the program and restarted, it reverted to 143, no SSL. Anyone have an idea what is going on?

To solve the problem of mail port seetings not sticking required deleting the Accounts.plist in this mail directory:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Accounts.plist

Printing from Photoshop Elements 10 - Mac

I have no idea if this is more of a MAC question, a PRINTER question or an ADOBE question....
Background: I just upgraded to PSE 10 and switched from a PC to a Mac (so learning both).
When printing from PSE 10, I cannot, for the life of me, find how to change my paper type! I'm used to having that option right from the print dialouge in PSE 9 AND from the PC. I've searched everywhere....I can't even find a place to do it in my printer settings.
Anyone a Mac and/or Adobe expert that can help me??

It does not seem to concern Photoshop, though, so you might want to check the Photoshop Elements Forum:

How to transfer printer settings from one Mac to another (both OSX)?

Hello, I have not found a detailed description on how to transfer printer settings from one Mac to another.
My issue is that I have a Mac G5 with 3 different settings saved as "presets" for the same printer. This works great, since the posters I print (on the large format printer) need different margins and different paper at times.
This G5 is basically retired and only used for printing. G5 has OSX 10.3.9
I have a MacPro as its replacement (OSX 10.4.11).
The MacPro has all my apps and other settings setup to my liking.
I found several links via Google saying copy this folder or directory, but I am not sure I did it correctly. I don't see the "presets".
I tried launching the Migration Assistant (I hope that's the correct name), but was concerned the settings on the new MacPro would be overwritten with ALL the old stuff on the older G5. I did not start the transfer process because of this.
If someone would list the steps needed to accomplish the transfer of printer settings or advise if this is possible, then I would be very grateful! The previous user of the G5 I am using was a "Genius" and I don't know how he created these "preset" choices.
Thanks!

Hi SCChelpdesk, and a warm welcome to the forums!
I found several links via Google saying copy this folder or directory, but I am not sure I did it correctly. I don't see the "presets".
This is the File that holds that info on Tiger, not certain on Panther...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.print.custompresets.plist
After moving, you very well might have to change the Owner's Permissions within Get Info window, then log out/in.
I tried launching the Migration Assistant (I hope that's the correct name), but was concerned the settings on the new MacPro would be overwritten with ALL the old stuff on the older G5. I did not start the transfer process because of this.
MA would transfer the info, but/and, if the user that had that info had the same Shortname as on the new one, it'll demand you give it a new Shortname to use... but then those settings would be transferred to that new user on the new machine. I think the 1st one will work though.
The previous user of the G5 I am using was a "Genius" and I don't know how he created these "preset" choices.
We can go through that way if you like... not all that hard.

TS3147 Where are all the print settings for my HP Officejet 5510 in Mac OS X 10.8.2? I can't find Normal, just Draft and Best.

Where are all the print settings for my HP Officejet 5510 in Mac OS X 10.8.2?? I only have Fast, Fast B & W, and Best. I want Normal so that it looks good but doesn't print so slowly. Help.

Hi,
Change the print settings manually by clicking the lowest drop-down within the print dialog (e.g. the application name, Copies & Pages within MSOffice.
Select Type/Quality and set the print quality as Normal.
You may seve the settings as a Preset from the Presets drop-down menu.

How do I change the default settings in a printer's Default Settings Preset?

I am running Mavericks, printing to an HP LaserJet 4050N via IP. [The following behavior takes place whether the printer's internal settings are set to Duplex Printing is On or is Off.]
I would like to set the default to print duplex, whether I am in an application or 'drag and drop' a file onto the printer icon (which temporarily opens the application, prints the document, and quits).
I do not seem to be able to modify the "Default Settings" Preset to specify duplex printing. However, I have been able to create a new "Default Settings-1" Preset that specifies duplex printing. By selecting the "Default Settings-1" Preset, in any application, I get duplex printing without any problem.
First -- problem:
If I drag-and-drop a file -- e.g., .pdf or .docx -- onto the printer icon, it opens the application and uses the "Default Settings" Preset -- not the "Default Settings-1" Preset -- and prints single-sided. How do I get drag and drop to use the "Default Settings-1" Preset to get duplex printing?
Second -- issue:
Bizarrely, if I am in an application, select "Show Presets", select "Default Settings-1" and click on "Layout", it sometimes shows that "Two-Sided" printing is "Off" and sometimes that it is set to "Long-Edge Binding" -- but that seems to have no deleterious effect on duplex printing!
Any suggestions / explanations for my problem / issue?
Thanks much,
Avi

Other than using the CUPS interface, http://127.0.0.1:631,which it sounds like you've done, I don't think there is a way to edit the Default Settings. The standard approach is to create a preset, the solution you've found.
For drag and drop printing, you should be able to get to the print dialog and select your preset or turn duplex on by holding the option key down, selecting the file, then doing the drag and drop (either to a printer or to an open printer proxy application).
I realize this isn't a solution, but I hope it's helpful.

"Print Settings" are not stored in the print preset

Hi everybody,
It seems that, no matter how many times i save and update the profile, all the print setting (image size, sharpening, bit depth, color management, ...) are store within the preset, all but the Epson Driver settings, which have to be selected every single time.
I really can't remember if this bug was present in 4.0 or not (I'm currently running 4.1 RC), but I'm quite sure it was working OK under 3.x. Here's the thing.
I configure the printing settings and create. a profile: Profile1.
I change all the settings and create a second profile: Profile2. The "Print Settings" settings are different, same printer, one for Color (Profile1), one for Advanced B&W (Profile2).
I click on Profile1 (which was created with color Print Settings). Clicking on "Print Settings" or "Print", the printer settings selected under the epson driver is the ABW one (the one that belongs to Profile2).
I reselect the correct setting from "Print Settings..." (Color).
Click "Save" again.
Righ-t click on Profile1 -> Update with current Settings. Setting seems to be saved.
I then click on Profile2 and bam! The "Print Settings..." seems to be rverted to color instead of ABW.
Update the correct settings, back to point #3
Can you reproduce this? This behavior is vanishig the power of the "Print One" button, unless you constantly print with tha same Driver settings.
Lightroom version: 4.1 RC [820174]
Version: 10.7 [3]
Application architecture: x64

Epson R3000, latest OS X Epson Drivers.

I may have resolved the issue.
The bug is there, because the name of the preset is kept as the last used, which is wrong.
If you revert to the default "Default Settings" Epson preset, and change all the parameters as you like, then click Save and update the Lightroom preset, the settings are stored correctly.
You'll have to check every preset (I have two dozens) and re-update with the new correct (or wrong?) Driver configurations, so that you could have faith again in the "Print One" button.

Photoshop 2014- saving printing presets on a Mac?

I'm running os x Mountain Lion and used to be able to save printing presets when I was printing photos via PS but lately the quality and media settings keep reverting to standard quality and plain paper. Anybody know how I can keep the presets saved?
Thanks.

Those print settings are up to the printer driver, not the application.

How can I set the default print settings of my document as color. I want the default print setting to be color when someone opens a document. similar to duplex print preset is there a color print preset?

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.

Transfer Printer Settings to Another Mac

Hello - I have a few printers to configure among twelve different Macs. All Macs run Tiger. How could I configure the printers once, and copy the settings to the other macs? Thanks

Here's a generalized concept - but remember I don't have any intel Macs.
And this assumes you have already installed the driver for any printer that isn't included in OS X.
The Printer List of Printer Setup is totally contained in the file /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, plus the folder of "currently Added printer PPDs," /etc/cups/ppd.
Saved Settings are saved in files in /Library/Preferences that start with com.apple.print.

Xfinity web mail print settings in firefox on a mac

I have a mac running OS X.7.2 and Firefox 9.0.1. My printer is a Canon MX310 inkjet black and color. My default printer setting is black in the mac print utility. I have issue printing from Firefox only. It won't print because it says it must print in black and color when my settings are black only. I reinstalled FF and reset printer settings to default to no avail. I had to change my mac profile to "black and color" with FF closed and now printing away in color, Yikes ($$!).

Can you check this issue on Firefox 9?
