How do I change printer quality?

I am in the Print window and I click on the pull down menu that says Copies and Pages, and I see 8 options, none of which have anything to do with printer quality. On my Windows machine all I had to do was select between "draft, normal, and best" quality. Why is it so difficult on the Mac???

click on Copies and Pages, are the following:
Copies and Pages
Layout
Scheduler
Paper Handling
Colorsync
Cover Page
Firefox
Summary
If those are your only choices and you have looked through all of them, then my only suggestion is to refer you back to the provider of the printer driver. This is presumably the manufacturer of your printer which you did not specify.
What you are seeing is not normal in my opinion. Either the printer driver is constructed at odds with the norm, there is some corruption, or the printer has not been added properly.

How do you change print quality for eprinting?

HP Photosmart 5515
OS installed XP
The driver does not give this option. I like to do Fast Draft sometimes.

Hello mshantea,
If you are sending print jobs to the printer's ePrint email, there is no way to adjust the quality. Sorry.

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 does iPhoto play a part in this? You're in the iPhoto forum. Shouldn't you be asking your question in the iPhone forum? I'll ask the powers to be to move you question to the iPhone forum.

This is done through iTunes on a computer. You plug it in and under the Summary tab, you can chose what type of video quality you prefer.
You'll choose "Prefer Standard Definition Videos" from the bottom half of the Summary page

How to change print quality on cp1515n

We recently purchased a HP CP1515n colour printer to replace a HP 2600n printer. The print quality is excellent but the problem is the printer (CP1515n) is using alot of toner compared to the 2600n. For example the black toner which is rated at 2200 prints will run out before it does 700 prints according to the web console for the printer. Is there anyway to reduce the amount of toner used by dropping the print quality ?
On most printers in the quality settings in the driver (printer properties) you can chose an economy quality setting such as economy, draft or low which uses alot less toner. On this printer there is only one setting ImageREt 3600 which uses alot of toner due to the way it prints. I have upgraded the firmware on the printer, downloaded the latest driver and checked all the manuals etc but can't find how to do this.
Could you please help.
Thanks.

The only solution I found was to turn off the out of toner warning on the printer. It then continues to print normally for a long time after the message starts to appear. The new toners in the UK are £50 each (including postage) which makes £200 for a full set but a new printer is about £150 normally. Seems strange how the price of a print + toners is alot less than the price of the toners. I also found some CP1515n's for sale at £100 each so bought one to use its toners, which works out at £25 per toner. HP's pricing policy on toners is a bit strange.

How Do I Set Print Quality in PSE 10 to above 720 DPI?

Hello Everyone,
I am trying to print a 4888px x 3456px (A4 aspect ratio) to an A4 sheet from an Epson SC-P600 inkjet printer.
In the PSE 10 Print Dialog Box I have set PSE to Manage Colours and selected my printer ICC profile. From the Print Dialog Box's "More Options" window I click Printer Preferences and set the Print Driver's Print Quality to SuperPhoto 5760dpi x 1440dpi.
After clicking OK a few times to get back to the PSE10 Print Dialog Box, I see 720 DPI as the Print Quality value at Item 2 - Printer Settings on the right hand side of the PSE print dialog box. Even if I change the printer driver's print quality to 1440dpi x 1440 dpi, the print quality value remains at 720 DPI at item 2 in the PSE print dialog box.
I expected to see a value of either 1440 DPI or 5760 DPI values in the PSE print dialog box after setting the print quality in the printer driver.
How can I tell the PSE10 print dialog box that my printer is set to 1440dpi, or higher, or will the printer still print at the the printer driver's setting regardless of the DPI value in the PSE print dialog box?

save your settings as a preset... after you click print and change your settings... click on the Presets drop down and save as... it defaults to the last used preset provided you saved your changes.

How do i change print settings in eprint to draft in this year 2013

How do I change my eprint on my iphone 5 so that it prints in draft or greyscale instead of high quality.

Hi there, if you are using the ePrint mobile print app to print from the iPhone you should see a settings icon top right of the app screen (looks like a page with a starwheel in the bottom right corner). This will allow you choose a variety of settings. If you are using the ePrint service by sending file attachments from a mail client on your iPhone then it is not possible to adjust print settings.
Hope this information helps but post back if you've any questions.

How do you change the quality of imported PDFs?

I have been creating fillable forms in LiveCycle ES2, using my companies existing PDFs, importing them as fixed images, and adding form elements on top. When I have been looking back at what LiveCycle is producing in terms of quality, versus the PDFs I initially import in Acrobat, the quality is substantially worse in LiveCycle, and any PDFs that I import into and save from LiveCycle look to be a much lower quality. The images of our forms I am importing into Acrobat are 250dpi, 8.5x11. They look crisp and clean in Acrobat. When they are imported, the text looks more grainy when zoomed in, and the logos have jagged edges. I read that LiveCycle, by default, imports PDFs as a medium quality JPG. First, is there any way around this? I can't find an option anywhere to change the quality. If not, is there a workaround that would allow me to accomplish my goals?
I created a new, blank form in LiveCycle, added an image, and set it as the image of my PDF form. The quality is significantly better, however, the hierarchy is substantially different than when importing a fixed PDF, and I will lose my OCR recognized text from my original PDF.

Kyle,
Thanks for your response. To be clear, the way I am importing the PDF is by going to New in LiveCycle, and selecting Import a PDF document, and selecting Create and Interactive Form with Fixed Pages.
I cannot change the forms or pages, as they are created by our local Board. In otherwords, I have tryed used the flowable content, and upon import, not only are the fonts slightly different, but all the important artwork (trade-related) is gone, and is not in the exact positions it was in. The forms must meet the standards to which they were approved by the regional board, and there are state-mandated forms as well.
What surprises me is that you say this method of Fixed Content isn't used much any more. I would think that a lot of people would have PDF files they would wish to make into fillable, interactive forms without needing to reconstruct the entire document. Perhaps a company that has always done things on paper, and now wishes to use those exact same forms on the computer, with no deviations to looks so they can be printed and match up perfectly.
I thought about using Acrobat's internal form creation system. However, some of these forms have sophisticated options and the calculation scripts and systems within LiveCycle are very useful. Not to mention that it has a much larger scalability, should we chose to utilize it.
Any other suggestions? I am so confused why Adobe would force medium-quality import of a PDF, but be so incredibly flexible about every other option in their program.

Problem: Changing print quality iMac + Canon Printer MG6220

If I want to print a web page in Firefox from my iMac to a Canon MG6220 printer, I cannot change the print quality. I can only choose "Standard" and not "Fast". All other options for print quality are "grayed-out".
This happens in both Firefox and Aurora. It does not hold true with Safari, Opera, Chrome, OmniWeb, Camino, and Flock. Also, it does not hold true with Thunderbird.
I want to stay with Firefox/Aurora as my default browser.

Hi reidiallen-
I would recommend that you check out this Support article on troubleshooting printer issues. Checking other browsers is definitely the best first step.
[[Firefox prints incorrectly]]
Hope that helps.

How to improve the printing quality of pictures, printing a database layout

I have a database that contains also pictures in multimedia containers. If I print a layout containing a picture, the quality of the picture is really bad! Pixeled with big pixels.
Is there a possibility to get better prints?
The pictures are JPEGs of reasonable size.
The picture in the layout on the screen looks MUCH better.
Printing to an PDF and viewing this on the screen is equally bad.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I'm guessing that your images are JPEGs. AppleWorks changes the resolution of all graphic formats except PICT to 72 dpi. There are a couple of things you can do improve the print quality of images.
1. Turn on Fractional Character widths in Preferences > General > Topic: Text. This is a text setting, but it does improve the print quality of images.
2. Open the image in Preview or GraphicConverter & Save As... a PICT to use in AppleWorks.
PICT is generally the best format to use for inserting or pasting into AppleWorks. I find the resulting graphic can be resized somewhat & the resulting saved AW file is much smaller than if using JPEG or TIFF.

How do you change the quality of video on iPod?

My iPod's video quality is not very good and I have not received any help so far, so this is my final attempt. Is there any way you can change video quality on your iPod? Change resolution (how)? Change kb/sec (how)? I don't know what to do, I just need help otherwise I will really have to consider getting a different mp3/video player.

Solved this myself by converting videos with any-video-converter for ipod.
