Firefox using/changing printer preferences in Windows 7 Pro

I have a workstation printing to a Kyocera copying machine that is on the network. When she prints from Firefox, it sends the print request to the wrong cassette. I have reset the printer information in about:config. Removed and re-installed the network printer numerous times on the workstation. The workstation is running version 27.0.1. I have 10 different workstations all on the same network running the same version of Firefox and this is the only workstation I have an issue with. Any help would be appreciated.

If setting are not being kept, try the pref.js file [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-printing-problems-firefox] if they are not saving troubleshooting [[How to fix preferences that won't save]]

Changing printing preferences in hp connected

I want to change my printer preferences when using ePrint to send an email to my printer. The preferences I'd like to change are printing in black & white as default and also changing to duplex as default if possible. On another post it said you can login to eprintcenter to update preferences but when I try to login to that it redirects me to HP Connected. There doesn't seem to be anywhere I can change my printer preferences in HP Connected. How can I do that?

Hi,
I have not read the post which says change printer preferences under HP Connected therefore I can't say more BUTfrom your computer, you can set default B&W and also auto duplex on many printers which support those functions. What is your printer ?
Regards.

Why does my Mac not allow me to use my own printing preferences? Windows does.

I have a new Mac and have found to my dismay that I can no longer have any control over what type of paper I want to print on, along with many other printing preferences that I want to have control over as I did with my Windows Computer. Therefore, I am at the mercy of my computer or printer to figure out what kind of paper I am using...which is ridiculous, as that is impossible. Needless to say, many of my photos that I am trying to print on different papers, are printing out all kinds of crazy ways. I am using my same printer than I used with my Windows computer....the Epson Artisan 810 Photo Printer. I am a very serious photo printer person and I want my control back. What is the problem here and when will it be corrected? Thanks for any help that anyone can offer me.

Hi ,
Go to System preference > Printers & Scanner
select your printer and change its default print paper .
If you want to change more settings .
1) Open any image in PSE EDITOR.
2) Go to Print.
3) Select your printer Click on Print button w/o changing the size and other things.
4) save the settings in this window.

Changing printer preferences stops printer working

I am using the HP Photosmart D7260 printer. I am able to change preferences in the print screen and then to print using the changed preferences but these changes need to be made every time I switch on the printer.
If I change the preferences through the HP Solutions Centre when they should become the default settings, the printer will not print and the only way I have found to recover is to do a full system restore.
I have checked that the latest software is installed for both the printer and Solutions Centre.
The PC to which the printer is connected is running Windows XP Pro.

Hi - Maybe you've already tried this, but if not, try going into Start, Control Panel and Printers. From there right click on your printer and choose Properties. You should see the same tabs/settings as you do when your printing from whatever application you're using. Make the changes in there and see if you get better results. Typically the changes made in the Control Panel/Printers window will remain the default settings.
Hope that helps.

Change print preference back to one side from printing on two sides

We have an HP Officejet 6500 E7 10n-z with the duplexer installed. I have set the printer to print front and back and when I want to print on just one side I can't seem to get the printer back to single side. I go to layout and printer setting preferences and it appears to be set for one side but then it prints on both sides. I'm obviously missing a step. Does anyone have a solution?

Hi,
Make sure the Two-sided Printing been set to one side both under Control Panel > Printers and under the Preferences settings within the application being used to print.
While changing from the control panel affect the whole system, changing the settings from any application (e.g. word) will remain as configured by the specific application.
Open the document you want to print, then click File > Print.
Clic the Properties / Preferences button within the print dialog, then verify the setting.
Please let me know of any change,
Shlomi

Firefox crashing when printing large webpage Windows 7

I have a fairly complex HTML document that is generated from a 3rd party application. It is approximately 100 pages of A4 at least.
When generated on a Windows 7 machine, the HTML is generated fine and opens in Firefox 16.0.2 as expected. However, when the user goes to print to a network printer, the status bar hangs at around 10% and Firefox stops responding. Eventually, after around 7 minutes, the crash dialogue box appears.
There is no appreciable spike in memory usage whilst this is going on. The document generates and prints fine on Windows XP machines.

Does Firefox still crash in a new profile?
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Firefox used to work on my windows 8 machine, now it does not, even starting in safe mode and after un/reinstalling. message "firefox has stopped working".

Firefox used to work fine, then a few days ago it just stopped. When I try to start it, it comes up with a message that "firefox has stopped working". That message comes up over the box that asks if I want to start in safe mode or reset firefox. when i try to close or cancel that message so I can try starting in safe mode, both sets of messages go away.
if I try to start in safe mode using the shift key, the same thing occurs. The same thing occurred after I uninstalled and reinstalled.

Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
*Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

HELP Please!! Changing Printing Preferences

Can anyone assist me?....
How do I code in Java to set the printing preference to landscape.
At the moment when u go to print, for example, in eclipse, you go to File -> Print. In the "print" dialog you can select "preferences" (or something similar). Another dialog opens up showing the printing preferences. In that dialog it has "portrait" as default...
but how can I code it so that "landscape" is the default preference rather than portrait...
any help will be much appreciated. I've tried googling it but haven't found anything relevant which can help me.
Cheers!

Hi
I meant creating a program using Java to set the default printing preference to Landscape. I'm writing a plugin program using Java for eclipse. So when the user uses the plugin program and they want to print they can just go to File -> Print -> OK and the printout will be in Landscape. At the moment when you go to File -> Print -> Preferences the page orientation is set to Portrait. What I want to know is how to set it to Landscape (as the default option) using Java coding without the user having to set it in the print option.
Hope I've cleared the confusion up.
Thanks

Erro 3256 using Apple Airport Express with Windows XP Pro SP2

I am running Windows XP Pro SP2 and am trying to stream my music to the Livng room from my PC in my office. I use an Apple Airport Express. I am running iTunes 8.0.1.11 on the computer that isn't getting the signal through. Now please read the entire message before you decide it is the version of iTunes that I am using.
It was getting through just fine on my Denon 3300 but since I switched to a Denon 3802 the signal is not geting through from my main computer. It works fine from the computer sittng adjacent to it.
I also have music on a 2nd computer and am running iTunes 7.6.2.9 on it. The music gets to the living room stereo just fine using the same Apple Airport Express. The signal strength on the computer that is successful in streaming the music to the Apple Airport Express is "excellent". On the computer that is not successful, the signal strenth is "low". Now these computers are adjacent to each other and the signal has to go through the same wall and
exactly the same distance over the same network.
How can it be "excellent" on one and "low" on the other? Is it just a matter of signal strength? How do I fix that?
I keep getting "unknown error occurred 3256"
Help please. Do I have to do something to the network? or???
Remember I am a Windows user, not a Mac user. I do not have a "Configure IPv6" setting anywhere in my preferences. That must be a Mac thing.

Got the error message 3256 after downloaded latest itunes version 8.xx.
After days of reading logs and bullentin boards, uninstalling, hard resets,firewalls experiments, etc, I found solution for me. Following firmware upgrade to airport express solved. When you go to Apple download center and search for airport revisions only the MAc version pops up. However they do have this one for windows. Give it a try. Good luck.

Late 2013 iMac 27". Used boot camp and installed windows 7 pro. While in Windows 7, in my pc the mac os does not show. Is there anyway to fix this outside of restoring entire computer and trying again. Thank you from a mac newbie

Hello. I bought a new iMac 27" with the following specs:
3.5GHz Intel Core i7 Quad-Core (Haswell)
32GB of 1600MHz DDR3 RAM
3TB Fusion Drive
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M Graphics (4GB)
27" LED-Backlit IPS Display
2560 x 1440 Native Resolution
802.11ac/a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0
Thunderbolt, USB 3.0, SDXC Card Reader
720p FaceTime HD Camera, Dual Mics
Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion (64-bit)
After installing all Mac update, used Bootcamp to create a Windows 7 drive. Everything went fine to a point. While in my Mac OS i can see the windows partition just fine and see/edit documents. However, when in the Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, I cannot see the mac os in my computer at all.
Can someone please help this mac owner newbie? This process worked fine on my mac mini and i have no troubles. It is just on my new iMac that it wont work/show the highlighted paragraph above
Any ideas and/or help would be greatly appreciated.

I understand that much. On my MAC Mini, if you look above at original post, I CAN see both OS while in the Windows 7 partition or the MAC OS. This is NOT the case on my iMac. Again, when in the MAC OS I can see the windows partion and move information between the two that way. When in the WINDOWS partition, the only one that shows is the Windows OS from my computer or network. The only way you can tell its even a MAC is the bootcamp icon in the bottom right corner of toolbar. Both have same version of MAC OS so both should work same way.. When i double click on my computer, it should show both the Windows drive AND the MAC (as does my mini and another iMac 21.5 that i have). This iMac does not do that - only shows windows.

I also called the support center, and I lost my connection 7 minutes in to the call that I have been waiting for.. any help or ideas?

Change Color Handling to "Printer Manages Color" and then back to "Photoshop Manages Color", then you should be able to get into "Print Settings"

Can't change printer port on Windows 8.1 and Server 2012 R2

1. Install "Lexmark X646e Class Driver" using a in-box print driver (i.e. one comes with the Windows installation base) .
2. Go to "Printer properties" -> "Port"
3. Select a custom monitor port, and the following error occurs in Event Viewer.
An error occurred while configuring print queue 'Lexmark X646e Class Driver'. Printer driver 'Lexmark X646e Class Driver' may not be used in conjunction with a non-inbox port monitor.
Same steps applied on Windows 8 and Server 2012, and not issues found. The restriction/limitation is newly added in Window 8.1 and Server 2012 R2.
Changing to a custom monitor port after printer driver installation is very important for us.
How can we solve or workaround the above issue, so it can behave like Windows 8 and Server 2012?

What Port Monitor just so I can bubble this information to some others?
Alan Morris Windows Printing Team
Hi Alan:
We developed a custom printing system, which involved the following configurations:
1. Create a custom port monitor on server 2012 r2.
2. Change an existing print queue to use this custom port monitor, and share this print queue.
3. All workstations will print to this shared print queue on the server.
The goal is to manage/monitor the print information in StartDocPort for all printing for instance. This is what we've been doing for a long time.
Now we upgraded our system from server 2012 to server 2012 R2, but we can't change the port monitor to our ones anymore.
I've tried the Type3 printer driver, such as Brother Color Type3 Class Driver, unfortunately it didn't work if the installation is using "Add a printer", and select the driver from the list.
The only way to make it work is to install the printer driver using the one downloaded from the vendor's website, this will bypass Windows "Add a printer".
Is there any chance we can make this to behave like server 2012 or earlier? Modify registry keys?
Cheers
Steven

How can I change printing preferences from "back to front" to "front to back".

I've checked 'advanced' preferences and "front to back" is checked but that is not how it prints and I can't seem to change it.

You have to upgrade to 10.6.8 to be able to download 10.7 Lion. The Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available from Apple for $20. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list. The App Store which is required to download 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion is part of the 10.6.6 update.
If they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already up to $100 on Amazon.
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=10.6+snow+leopard&_sacat=0&_odkw=mac+os+10.6 &_osacat=0
Once you are at 10.6.8 Lion is still available from Apple. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. to purchase it. Then within 3 days you will get an email with a code which you can use to download Lion from the App Store.
Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly. As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.
