How can I avoid sending PS fonts to my Postscript printer

I would like to avoid sending the font information for built-in fonts like Times-Roman to my printer. Partly this saves slightly on printing time (OK maybe that is insignificant) and partly because I want to use the printer's good ideas on how to render the font.
When I print from TextEdit or MS Word, the file that is spooled in var/spool/cups appears to be a PDF file, and I guess that it contains the font information (it certainly seems to contain more coded information than I would expect just from the text I printed).
When I print the file, I have looked using tcpdump, and I can see that the Postscript file that is actually sent to the printer contains the font data. How can I avoid this so that the printer will use its built-in font?

I'm not a real font expert, but...
if the PPD lists the font as being in the printer, I don't think OS X will download it. I think you should look at the PPD and see if the font is named exactly like the one you're using.
Currently-ADDed printers have a PPD in /etc/cups/ppd.

  • I have made a book of my I Photo pictures. In certain layouts there is a textframe. How can I avoid the frame becoming visible in the print if I don't want to write anything? Should I just leave it or should I delete the text "Write your text here" ?

    I have made a book of my iPhoto pictures. In certain layouts there is a text frame. How can I avoid the frame becoming visible in the print if I don't want to write anything?  Should I just leave it untouched or should I delete the instructing text "Write your text here"?

    Most pages have layouts for pictures only or pictures with text boxes. Either select the same layout for that page but the one without the text box or put a space in the text box.
    Putting a space in the text box will avoid getting the warning when ordering that there's an unfilled text box in the book. The box will not be visible in the final product.  You can and should check the book before ordering by previewing it as described in this Apple document: iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it

  • How can you increase/change the font size using window.print

    We don't use BI/XML Publisher.
    I have a button with an URL Redirect to print.
    javascript:window.print();
    How can I give the user the option to print with a different font or larger size or optionally to set it the same for everyone?

    Hi,
    I would think that, generally speaking, users would print from a Printer Friendly page. This is a page template that has most of the top and bottom (that is, the tabs and footers) of a normal page removed. You can switch a page to a Printer Friendly one fairly easily - see: Re: Print Report without Template for an example. As this is a separate page template, you can use printer-only styling. The downside is that you can only have one Printer Friendly page in your application, so you have to be careful to make any styling generic.

  • When I create an email signature, the text I type is repeated twice in the actual email sent (above and below a line).  How can I avoid this?

    Try validating your installed fonts and fixing any errors that show up. To do this see this article: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20085570-263/safari-in-os-x-lion-replacing- text-with-block-a-characters/

  • How can I avoid automatical quantity confirmation of the items?

    At our case, production is done on sales sales order for some of the materials. When all of the materials at the order are producedi I want to triger the availability check but availability check triggered autpmatically when for the first time the order is created. I don't want the system to make the confirmation automatically. How can I avoid automatical quantity confirmation of the items?
    Thanks in advance for the answers....

    Hi Yasar
    This can be done 2  ways
    1.if you want individual material stocks to be checked for avialbility and deliver them independently then check whether you are using requirement type KSV.
    2. If you want to send the group of materials together and do not want to send a material which is part of group individually ,you can use delivery group with Sales Bill of material  concept . the header material may be a fantom assembly .
    The delivery group is set at the item  category level ,so u can set it for the item categories u want to go together.
    for example  all text package inserts ,extra spares and a material must go together, they  will be part of delivery group.
    I hope this helps

  • How can we avoid duplication of records in database while inserting records

    Hi,
    In my scenerio,while inserting the same records through idoc duplication of records is happening in database.How can i avoid this.

    Divya,
    First its a wrong data, because you cannot have the same data for any condition. Probably its a data problem. Please check with the datbase team and ask them why is it so? They should handle on their end.
    Anyways if the above dont work and if you ahve duplicate records then probably you need to come up with a query using select distinct. If this doesnot work then if the duplicates comes into mapping, you might selecting some fields which are common. So you can use a splitbyvalue(on value change) for those records, so even if there are three records it takes only one record. If you have 4 or 5 common values then you can concat them and then use the splitbyvalue change.
    Else an adapter module should help you out in sender comm. channel after picking the records.
    For an idea can you rajs response in this thread:
    Duplicate records

  • How can I avoid Mail automatically producing zip files

    When sending an email with Mail and attatch a .jpg fie. The recipient automatically receives a zip file. How can I avoid this?

    What is you send a copy to yourself?
    How large is the jpg file?
    You can change file size of photos yo send. See:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/17483756#17483756
    I just tried on my Mc with 10.9. I send it from my @me.com account to the @me.com account and opened on the Mac and the photo was still a jpg.
    I also send it to my [email protected] and opened it via webmail and it was just the same jpg.

  • Can i avoid sending parametrers thru the address bar?  (read example)

    Let's say I have the following parameter in a web toolkit site (which is still in development).
    For example if I post the parameters to the next page:
    (previous page) ---> mypage.com/password
    if my in my password textitem I only have to put a valid number to go to next page, HOW CAN i AVOID THIS TO WORK:
    if I type the following in the Internet Explorer address bar: mypage.com/password(1234567)
    if by any chance that number is valid it will go to next page, how can I force and limit the page to send the parameter thru the TEXTITEM in the web, instead of both (the address bar and textitem)
    thanks

    Running a url as described: "mypage.com/password(1234567)", will fail after you patch mod pl/sql.
    If you run the url like this: "mypage.com/password?p_parameter1=1234567" will be the only way to call it.
    v3.0.9.8.4 of mod pl/sql is where this gets fixed but you really should be on v3.0.9.8.5.
    http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_id=188622.1&p_database_id=NOT
    This still doesn't fix your problem as you can look in the html code to find the name of the parameter and then create a url that will work.
    Use cookies with a session_id and store the session information in a table with the user information. Then you can build an xref table showing what the user has rights to.

  • How Can I Avoid mistakes in the bounce?

    When I bounce my track, probably because there are many and many things, the track that comes out from the project has many mistakes (for istance, if there is a track that should start at a certain point, it starts with some delay) How can I avoid these mistakes?
    Thank you

    I don't have the patience for real time bouncing, just to make quick mp3s to send to my collaborator. However when I bounce, I sometimes have notes missing. A second bounce usually turns out better. I used to think that doing the same thing over and expecting different results was an indication of madness. Not this time.
    I haven't noticed delays though, yet.
    These happened using LP X 10.02 and an external Plugin. Perhaps 10.03 will work better.

  • Pls help - How can I add a typekit font to muse?

    As Muse doesn't come with all typekit fonts already included in the dropdown list of webfonts, I'd like to know how I can add a typekit font to the dropdown menu so I can use it for my website. I have Adobe creative cloud membership.
    I've searched the whole of the web and can't find anything about this at all - only about adding one of the existing muse typekit fonts which I already know how to do.
    Why doesn't Adobe include all typekit fonts with Muse when you're already a full creative cloud subscriber?

    Done!

  • How can i avoid restarting tomcat server when servlet is modified?

    please advice me that how can i avoid restarting the tomcat server, whenever a servlet file is modified in my application. is their any way ?

    No probs. Here's how I do things...
    1. Install tomcat as normal (e.g. I install to C:\Apps\jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4)
    2. Create a webapps directory in your eclipse project with the following directory structure
    MyEclipseProject
       - src
       - conf
       - webapps
          - MyApplication
             - META-INF
             - WEB-INF
                - classes
                - lib
                - pages3. Set the project's output folder (e.g. bin folder) to webapps/MyApplication/WEB-INF/classes
    4. Put all your jar files in the lib directory
    5. Put JSPs / HTML in the pages directory (you may also want to create additional directories for TLDs, config files etc)
    6. Ensure your web.xml is in the WEB-INF directory
    7. Although it isn't essential I create a context.xml file and store it in META-INF, e.g.
    <Context reloadable="true">
        <!-- Default set of monitored resources -->
         <WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource>
         <WatchedResource>WEB-INF/conf/struts/struts-config.xml</WatchedResource>
         <WatchedResource>WEB-INF/conf/struts/tiles-defs.xml</WatchedResource>
         <WatchedResource>WEB-INF/conf/struts/validation.xml</WatchedResource>     
    </Context>I use this to set monitored resources that will trigger an automatic appliation reload and to configure JAAS (not shown). See the Tomcat documentation for additional information.
    8. In the 'conf' directory I create a server.xml file used to configure Tomcat (you can copy the one from your <TOMCAT_HOME>/conf/server.xml).
    After copying the file change appBase attribute in the host element to be the full path to the webapps directory. You can also change the HTTP and HTTPS ports if you wish
    9. Download and install the Tomcat Launcher plugin from Sysdeo.
    10. In Eclipse's Preferences menu you will see a new entry for Tomcat. Click this then
    a. Set your Tomcat Version
    b. Set your Tomcat Home
    c. Set "Context declaration mode" to server.xml
    d. Set the configuration file to the full path to your server.xml file created in step 8
    On the "Advanced " sub page select all relevant projects to add to the Tomcat classpath
    On the "JVM Settings" page add all the jars in your WEB-INF lib directory to the class path
    On the "Source Path" page select all relevant projects
    Now if you start Tomcat using the Tomcat icon, you will be able to remote debug your application. If you change web.xml (or any other file in your context.xml watched resources) it will automatically reload. Any changes to JSPs will automatically be picked up (providing your tell your browser not to use the page in cache - e.g. CTRL+F5 in IE)
    There are some limitations that I'm still working on however. Primarily that I haven't included the Tomcat Manager application in my webapps directory, so Sysdeo cannot perform a reload. This means that if I change a source file, and eclipse auotmatically rebuilds, Tomcat doesn't pick up the change unless I either change a watched resource file (e.g. web.xml) or stop and restart Tomcat.
    There's no reason why this can't be fixed, I just haven't got round to it yet.
    I'm sure there are lots of other (probably better) ways of achieving the same thing. This was the first method I tried and it worked, so I stuck with it. I'm not a Tomcat config guru and I'm sure other forum users could provide some improvements should they wish.
    Post if you get into trouble, however I won't be able to respond until next week.
    Cheers,
    Steve

  • How can I avoid (on a mac) getting called on Skype...

    How can I avoid (on a mac) getting called on Skype when I'm not signed in?
    It's really annoying.
    I'm not sure if it's supposed to be that way, but suddenly I get the skype-calling-sound, and I have to log into the skype app to abort the call. The persistent calling bastards kept on calling after I aborted the call and left the app, so I ended up muting my speakers for a while. It really shouldn't have to be this troublesome.

    That's like asking how many cows can I get into a field.  It depends on the size of the field, size of the cows, the terrain of the field, etc.  We could use a bit more information on what you're trying to accommplish:
    1 - where are the photos being downloaded from.
    2 - how big are the photos?
    3 - where are you going to put the photos, i.e. into folders, into an iPhoto library?
    4 - how big is the hard drive in the Mac Pro and how much free space do you have on it?
    etc., etc, etc......

  • How can i avoid displaying runtime error in intractive report

    hi gurus
    my question is, in interactive report when i reach 20th secondary list after that am getting runtime error when i click again. So i wanted to know how can i avoid that run time error.
    regars
    imran

    Hi Imran,
    Basically we can have one basic list and 20 interactive lists.
    Once when we reached to 20th list then it goes to shortdump.
    So, inorder to avoid that we can modify the system field
    SY-LSIND.
    Just see this example and try this. I hope this will be useful for you.
    REPORT  ZSAMPLE1111.
    data: begin of itab occurs 0,
            matnr like mara-matnr,
            mtart like mara-mtart,
            mbrsh like mara-mbrsh,
            end of itab.
    data: begin of jtab occurs 0,
          maktx like makt-maktx,
          spras like makt-spras,
          end of jtab.
    select matnr mtart mbrsh into table itab from mara up to 10 rows.
    loop at itab.
    write:/ itab-matnr, itab-mtart, itab-mbrsh.
    hide itab-matnr.
    endloop.
    at line-selection.
    select maktx spras into table jtab from makt where spras = 'EN' .
    case sy-lsind.
    when '1'.
    loop at jtab.
    write:/ jtab-maktx, jtab-spras.
    endloop.
    when '20'.             * changes see here.
    sy-lsind = 1.
    when others .
    write:/ 'name',sy-lsind.
    endcase.
    I hope this will be helpful for you.

  • How can I get Sender Display Name using Get-MessageTrackingLog?

    Hi, could you please help me. We have got a monitoring system at work which monitors some devices, so if something wrong happening with these devices email is sent from MASTER email (Customer Name <[email protected]>) to us. I'm trying to get a list
    of all emails of that monitoring mailbox using PoweShell command
    Get-MessageTrackingLog and export them to CSV file. In the end of the day I need CSV file with 3 columns: TimeStamp, MessageSubject and SenderDisplayName! Yes, I need Sender Display Name cause all emails are sent from one MASTER email
    (Customer Name <[email protected]>) and only difference between them is sender Display Name which is cexactly what I need.   
    This is the code I'm using:
    Get-MessageTrackingLog -EventId Receive | Select Timestamp, MessageSubject, Sender | Export-CSV C:\NagiosAlerts.csv
    –NoTypeInformation
    So how can I get sender Display Name(Customer Name) using Get-MessageTrackingLog insted of Sender email (<[email protected]>)? 

    The DisplayName is not recorded in the Logs only the EmailAddresses are so there Is nothing you can do with Message Tracking to get this the way you want. You need to look at another property may soureIP or include something in the Subject
    of the Email (eg a customerId in the Subject is a much better option) to give you some differentiation. Otherwise you need to access the Email directly from the Mailbox it was sent to and then extract the DisplayName from the message (or use a journaling
    on those emails etc)
    Cheers
    Glen
