How do I change my printer settings programmatically ?

How do I open a print menu, to change the printer, the orientation and the number of pages to be printed out during the execution of a LabVIEW program ?

Check out the example at:

If you set the VI to display the printer dialog you can set the printer and the print orientation from there...the number of pages should be possible to control from what you actually put in the VI to be printed.

  • How do i change default printer settings

    Hi
    I have an Epson Photo PX720WD.
    When I print photos directly from Finder they always print on the A4 plain paper I have in the tray rather than the 6 x 4 photo paper I want them to. The print option in Finder doesn't give me any opportuntiy to select settings like, for instance, iPhoto.
    I don't want to import all pics into iPhoto as i like being able to print them from Finder so does anyone know how I can change the settings, preferably to make the 6 x photo setting the deafult?
    Thanks in advance
    Steve

    Hi Eustace
    thanks for the reply.......I'm on 10.7.5 but I think the issue is that I'm not printing from an App, I want to print direct from Finder and when I select cmd/p or go through the file menu and select print the dialogue box doesn't appear or isn't an option.
    On all Apps that I've printed from cmd/p brings up the dialogue box or going to the file menu the print option looks like this:
    Print....
    Direct from Finder there are no dots meaning no dialogue box will appear.
    I have about 50 pics I want to print so if I can change the default settings then I can simply cmd/p every time knowing that they'll print the way I want them.
    I would also like to change the default settings as I print pics about 95% of the time so it's less hassle to change it when I want a plain A4 print.
    Any ideas?!!
    Thanks again
    Steve

  • HOW DO I CHANGE MY PRINT SETTINGS SO THAT THEY STAY SET TO MY PRINTER DEFAULTS?????????????????????????????????????????

    This one issue is probably the one thing that would make me abandon Firefox FOREVER (besides the problems with Flash). If I change print settings for ONE COPY I have nothing but HELL trying to get my print settings BACK to my PRINTER defaults. Why can't Firefox be like the REST of the computer world and have the PRINTER DEFAULTS override Firefox?????
    I made a change yesterday and I have NOT been able to get it changed BACK to the defaults.
    Is thois too complicated?

  • How do I change default printer settings in Lion?

    I just got a new MacBook Pro and after installing the correct drivers and setting up my printer, it now prints 2-sided by default.  How do I change this default setting?
    I'm using a MacBook Pro, OS X 10.7.4, printing over AirPort to a KonicaMinolta office machine.  I had this same setup with my old MBP (OS X 10.6.8) with no problems whatsoever.

    Many vendors have started releasing printer drivers that have been defaulted to two-sided (duplexed). I would assume that the printer driver you are using on 10.6 is an older version compared to that being used on Lion.
    There are two possible actions. One is to create a Preset that has the driver set to single sided and use this preset when you don't want duplex. The other is to modify the PPD for the printer so that it is set to single sided by default.
    Making a Preset is easy. Open a document and select to print. Make the changes in the print dialog to set single sided printing and then open the Presets menu and choose to save this change for this KM printer. Then whenever you print to the KM just ensure the Preset is set to whatever name you gave to the single sided setting.
    As for modifying the PPD, this is done via the CUPS web page.
    To access CUPS, open Safari and type
    http://127.0.0.1:631/printers
    This will open the CUPS Printer administration page and will show all the printers currently configured on the Mac. For the printer that you wish to change the defaults for, click its name in the Queue Name column.
    Clicking the printer name will open the printer administration page for that printer. Here you need to click on the Administration drop menu and then select Set Default Options.
    This will show a new page with four menu headings (links); Options Installed, General, Banners and Policies. Select General. Scroll down the list until you find an entry like "Finishing" or something similar that shows the single sided and two sided setting. Change this from 2 sided to 1 sided.
    With the option selected you then need to scroll down the list to the bottom of the page where you will see the ‘Set Default Options’ button. Click this button and you will then be presented with an authentication window. Enter the account name and password that has been set as the admin for this Mac. And then press the Log In button. You will then see another page stating that the information change is completed.
    Now you can open an application and select to print and then check the output is set to single sided.

  • How do I change the printer settings on macBook pro OSX v10.8.1?

    I am trying to print a webpage but i want it in duplex format (two pages front and back on one sheet). The default is set to "one sided". I can't seem to change the presets (under presets > show presets > copies and pages > settings and value). Usually we can change the value, ie. the number of copies and change the format to "duplex". I can't seem to change the value.

    I am running Leopard OS in 64 bit mode. Everytime I want to run my Cisco VPN client I reboot it in 32 bit mode by holding the two keys (don't remember what two keys at the moment).  I am looking for another way to run my Cisco VPN.  I don't see the check box labeled "Open in 32-bit mode" .  The only thing I see is "Open in Rosetta" or something like that.  Is the check box "Open in 32-bit mode" only show in Lion X OS?

  • How do I change my printing settings from "normal" to "fast" ?

    HP Officejet J4580 All-in-one
    OS:  Max OS X 10.5.8
    No error message
    No changes made to my system.  My printer has always printed at "normal" but my boss has his setting to "fast" however we can't figure out why my print window appears different than his.

    Hello,
    Thanks for the post.  There may be several reasons why the printing options are different, maybe updates/versions, different OS, even different printer (different options).  I've attached a link below that may assist (or at least get you started) in locating the printing preferences that you are looking for.  Good Luck!

  • How do i change the quality settings of my printer? the options are there but greyed out!

    how do i change the quality settings of my printer? the options are there but greyed out! ie on my old HP I could print in draft if i wanted to print a doc to read and then bin...the option/box is there but greyed out so I can't select. HELP!!!

    You can change the background display color in the playback preferences, either black, white, or checkerboard. This does not change the output color. If you want to add a color to the video, you have to place a custom generator underneath your video and change the color in the inspector.

  • How do I change the printer options on an ipad air?

    i am changing service provider. Currently they overlap. My ipad is happy to find the current old provider but cannot find the new provider even when i switch to that network. I cannot find any options for changing printer options. how can I change the printer option to access the new provider? i have 4 weeks to get the answer. Thanks

    If you mean that the iPad is tied to another user's iCloud account, you have to ask them to erase the device for you. You can't do it on your own. The device requires their Apple ID and password in order to turn off Find My iPad and to delete the iCloud account.
    IF you just want to sign into another Apple ID (not recommended either) go to Settings>iTunes and App store>Apple ID and sign out of that ID and sign into your ID,

  • How do I change the printer resolution?

    How do I change the printer resolution on my OSX 10.6.2 laptop?
    I have an ubuntu print server and it seems to only work at all using the gutenprint drivers. On my ubuntu client I had to change the print resolution from "auto" to 600x600 to make it work just fine.
    The best I can do is make the Mac print pages squished down to 1/4 size. I don't see the same resolution option on the Mac.
    Mac OSX 10.6.2
    Ubuntu Server 9.10
    Printer: Canon S900
    Cups driver: Canon S800 Gutenprint v5.2.3
    Cups version 1.4.2 on the mac
    Cups version 1.3.9 on Ubuntu Server
    Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.6.2)

    I can't speak for the printer directly, but most functions to change resolution are in the dropdown menu at the bottom of the print dialog. It has a gray bar running through it separating the basic functions from the advanced settings.
    If you don't see that, but do see a blue button with a black triangle pointing down, click on that. Then you'll be able to set the advanced settings.
    Once you set up the printer the way you like, save it as a preset. If you want that as a default, see this [MacOSXHint|http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20100125135830153].

  • How can I change the print quality on a HP 6700 to draft (lowest quality) on a Mac OS X 10.9.3?

    Hi,
    I've tried many places to try to find where I can change the print quality (HP 6700).  I don't want it to use so much ink, so want to put it at the lowest quality.  I tried using the settings icon and the arrows on the front of the printer, and other options listed here.  Nothing has worked.
    Thanks,

  • How do you change the dpi settings in iPhoto

    How do you change the dpi settings in iPhoto

    Short answer: the dpi is set when you decide what size you're printing at.
    Long Answer: Dpi means nothing in the digital world of your computer. There are no "inches" to have "dots per..." Size is measured in pixels. That's the same on your camera. It doesn't take 10 x 8 or 6 x 4 shots. It takes shots measured in megapixels. For instance 4,000 x 3,000 is a 12 megapixel camera.
    Using that example, that shot from that camera has 12 million pixels. So that's how many "Dots" there are. To decide the ratio of dots per inch, you now need to decide the "inches" part. And that's printing.  Print at 10 x 8 and the dpi will be 4,000/10 or about 400 dpi. At 6 x 4 then it's 4,000/6 or 660 dpi. Work the other way: Print at 300 dpi and the resulting image will be about 13 inches on the longer side.
    So, your photo as a fixed number of pixels. Changing the dimensions of the print will vary the dpi, changing the dpi will vary the dimensions of the print.

  • How can I change the margin settings in the pages inspector to make them more specific for label templates. I need margins that can be set to hundreths of a centimetre not just tenths.

    How can I change the margin settings in the pages inspector to make them more specific for label templates. I need margins that can be set to hundreths of a centimetre not just tenths.

    I doubt you need hundreths as you would not even be able to measure that and the printer doesn't hold the paper to those tolerances.
    fruhulda is right. Pages accepts higher measure but rounds it in the measure field.
    If you want absolute accuarcy you need to set your measures to points. Everything else is being recalculated.

    For sideloaded content the nook pulls the metadata from ePub file itself.  I would suggest looking at a program like Sigil or Calibre that will let you edit the metadata in the book to make it appear like you want.
    For the PDF vs ePub - No, that's the way PDFs work (think of them as graphics, not text), wheres ePubs are Web Pages - so  no you can't them to behave exactly alike without converting the files.
