Epson 3880 cannot change paper types in Acrobat Print dialog

I use Adobe Acrobat as a RIP to print from on my Epson 3880. It looks like I might have to reconstruct all my printer presets since they've disappeared after the upgrade(?) to Yosemite 10.10.3. However the print dialog in Acrobat Pro X no longer allows me to create presets with different paper types. At least I haven't found it anywhere. Is this something that can be worked around or is this an "enhancement" to the new OS?
Should I just give up and go back to Snow Leopard?

Thanks a lot. Although i find it strange that every application sets this up individually. However, I did this in all Applications that I use for printing, now it works just fine.

Cannot change paper type from Android ePrint app when printing photos

I have the ePrint mobile app installed on my Android phone (Samsung Galaxy S4) and have a Photosmart 7520 printer at home. When I'm at home, I can see the same printer listed twice from ePrint mobile app on my phone, once via ePrint (with the printer's email address shown) and the other via wireless (with the printer's IP address shown). If I were to print a photo from ePrint mobile app, if I select my printer via wireless connection, I can see the option to change the paper type, i.e. either the plain paper or photo paper; but if I select the same printer via ePrint, the option to change paper type no longer appears in the app. When I'm on the go, I can only see my printer via ePrint and I cannot print a photo on plain paper due to the absence of the "paper type" option. However, if I were to print a document via ePrint mobile app, the option to change paper type does show up. So to sum it up: 1) Print photo from ePrint mobile app via wireless -- the "paper type" option is present;2) Print photo from ePrint mobile app via ePrint -- the "paper type" option is absent;2) Print document from ePrint mobile app via ePrint -- the "paper type" option is present. This cannot be by design, correct? Thanks.

Hi phibei!
Thank you for posting.
I have done some research on your post.
You are correct, this is by design. This is due to the communication method being used. When using the ePrint app via ePrint it's sending the information via an email and limits the options available.

Change paper type in QM03

Hi,
any one can please suggest how can I change paper type in the notification. its by default set to letter format. I want to change it to A4 size for a particular user. is there any way I can do this?

Hi Bhanukishor,
Try to set the default printer setting in your PCs --> Start --> Devices and Printers --> Right click on default printer --> Printing preferences --> Go on Tab Paper --> Changes the Print on = A4.
I think it will resolved your problem.

Cannot change media type

I imported an audiobook from CD to my library and wanted to change afterwards the media type from "music" to "audiobook" to shift to the audiobook section. Did not work. In "information"-> "options", the media type "music" shows in grey, cannot be changed. I am using the newest itunes version on a MAC.

That's correct, you cannot change media type whilst match is turned on.
Suggest that you delete audiobook from the cloud and library but do not move file to trash.
Turn off match, readd track and change media type from music to audiobook.
You can now turn match back on.

How to change paper types

I don;t seem to be able to change paper types using Pages 09,in Word I think I am right in saying you can change from various paper types in the print section. When I try this in Pages I do not get this option, I need to be able to print onto various Photo papers etc. Can YOU help.

I assume that you get the "bare" Print dialog :
If I am right, click the small black triangle pointed by the yellow arrow to get the 'complete' Print dialog.

Cannot Select Paper Type in Photoshop 10

New Imac, new HP C5280, new copy of Photoshop 10 for Mac. No paper type is offered in print options, (matte, glossy, etc) in Photoshop. Hooked up my older Epson RX620, exactly the same problem, but both work in Win XP ok in Photoshop CS3. Being bounced around by tech help by HP, Adobe and Mac. All latest drivers downloaded and installed as per Tech help line instructions. No change. Anyone help?

so I've been pulling my hair out for 2 days & nights now trying to figure out why I couldnt print on custom paper sizes - I've just now hit the "help" icon in the print dialog box (so simple I didnt ever think to read through the steps set out!) and found this:
"Creating a custom page size
If you want to print on unusual size paper, such as an odd-size envelope or card, you may be able choose the paper’s size from the Paper Size pop-up menu. To find the Paper Size pop-up menu, choose File > Page Setup, if available. Otherwise, choose File > Print.
If you can’t find the size you need, you can create your own custom paper size.
To create a custom page size:
Open the document you want to print.
Choose File > Page Setup, if it’s available. Choose Page Attributes from the Settings pop-up menu, and then choose Any Printer from the Format For pop-up menu.
Choosing Any Printer ensures that your document can print on any printer that supports the paper size you select.
If Page Setup is not available, choose File > Print.
If the Print dialog contains only two pop-up menus and some buttons across the bottom, click the disclosure triangle beside the Printer pop-up menu.
Choose Manage Custom Sizes from the Paper Size pop-up menu.
Click the Add button.
Type a name for the paper size.
Enter values in the Paper Size and Printer Margins field."
All I had to change was the "any printer" setting from my (konica minolta) printers name to "Any Printer"!! now my custom paper sizes are printing fine and dandy!! phew!!!!!!!!
I know this isn't the exact prob you're having, but try the help in the print driver and follow the steps set out - it worked for me!

Color laserjet 2605dn changing paper type does not make the change at printer

I've had this printer for 2 years and have had this problem from time to time. This time I have not been able to find a cure. I'm running Win 7, 64 bit and the printer is on wired network.
When I change the paper type in the driver page to photo paper, the printer should slow the paper feed to allow for extra thickness. It doesn't, but I can change the speed by using the printer control panel to set it to photo paper (a bit of a pain since the printer is in a different room and it must be switched back to plain paper the same way when done).
I downloaded and installed the latest drivers (version 5.1.0.1), but this didn't help. The printer is still useable, but very inconvenient to use, so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks for any assistance you can provide.
Don

Look's like there are 3 different Universal print drivers (UPD) on the site. PCL6, PS and PCL5. I recommend testing the PCL5 driver if you haven't as yet. It is bizarre that this happens from time to time, but you cannot get it going again using teh same methods. Don't know if you have swapped out the network cable to see if that makes any difference. You can also try installing via USB to see if the problem continues in that type of connection, then run the network install again.
Is it critical that the unit slow down for this particular paper thickness? Have you noticed any print quality issues by leaving it unchanged?
Good luck.
Though I work for HP, My posts express MY opinion, and not those of HP.

Cannot change page size with acrobat

I am able to convert my manuscript in Mac word(2011) to adobe acrobat (XI); unfortunately the 6 X 9 " page size does not convert. I spent a few hours on the phone with adobe support and the final resolution was to upload the file to them and they converted it for me. however, they used distiller which reduced the file size and appears to have affected the many images. Does anyone have any advice? The best I have been able to glean online is work with inDesign to change page size.

Thanks.
The problem was with the paper size. In addition to change the page size I needed to change the paper size in the print option before selecting save Adobe PDF.
From Word go to File> Print
Open the Copies & Pages dropdown
Select Paper Handling
Check the Scale to fit paper size box
Open the Destination Paper Size list
Select your custom 6x9 Preset
Click the PDF button
Select either Save as PDF or Save as Adobe PDF
The unfortunate thing is that I was able to do this initially, but when I went back to replicate it adobe is creating 2 files one with my cover page and the rest to the manuscript. Luckily my initial copy was good. Thanks again for your help.

Cannot change Material Type due to existing DR

Hi All,
I tried changing one material by it reflects an existing Delivery for the said material, I checked the DR and found that it was already received - although its Shipment Cost hasn't been transferred. What should be done with these DRs?
=)

To change a materials type you will have to make sure that all documents are complete and ther is no stock of the item.
As long as there are open documents you cannot change the materials type.

Trouble changing paper type for printing

I downloaded Photoshop Elements 11 to a new computer (with much more memory and speed that old computer) but now Photoshop does not work as well. When I try to change the paper type for printing, the setting is stuck at "plain paper" and there are no other options available. Any ideas on how I can fix this problem?

It sounds like a printer driver issue, not a PS issue. Can you update your printer driver on the new computer?

Change paper type (A4) via JavaScript

Hi all,
I want to change the paper type via Java Script to A4.
The hierarchy:
data -->pageSet -->page1 (A4)
Is this the right syntax, if I want ot switch the page1 to A4? ...and which "Event" should I use? --->initialize?
data::initialize - (JavaScript, both)
xfa.data.pageSet.page1.medium.stock = "A4";

Hi
Are you trying to change the size on the fly for different values for instance.
Or is this simply ensureing the page is formatted correctly when the document is opened?
I could not get your code to work
but this code appears to work OK
xfa.form.form1.pageSet.pageArea.medium.stock = "A4";
Hope this helps

How to Change Paper Type Using Java script

HI ,
We have a requirement , in which we have to change the paper type i.e. "A2" , "A3","A4" etc. while printing using a JavaScript. I have written a code like this :
xfa.form.form1.pageSet.Page1.medium.stock = "A2"; But this is not working. please help me out.
Thanks,
Bhaskar.

That's the right object for choosing the page size at Design time. What event are you doing this on? Although you can change it in the form model, the form's page size is already determined from the template by the time you have a form to script against, so although you can change it via script after the fact in XFA, I don't believe it will have any impact. Even putting it on the layout ready event does not work.

Change paper size before selecting print preview

I want to change Paper Size prior to selecting Print Preview. That is not possible in Firefox. Can Paper Size options be added to Page Setup and/or Print Preview? Please fix.

You might be able to set that thru your Printer Preferences, so look there from within Firefox first. {Ctrl + P} then hit the Properties button, on the Paper Tab you should be able to set the Paper Size.
If not, give this a try:
type about:config in the URL bar and hit Enter
Pref Name = print.printer_your_printer_name.print_paper_height - 11.00
and print.printer_your_printer_name.print_paper_width - 8.50
Is that what you see? If you see those "Letter" measurements, try re-setting the main pref, and let Firefox reacquire the info from your OS.
in about:config
Preference name = print.print_printer
Right-Click and select Reset, then restart Firefox.
