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 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 printed text size.

    How do I change the printed text size?  This happens on everything I print out.  The text is so small I can just about read it.  I use a magnifying glass.  Please help.  Thank you.

    This appears to help.  I have been dealing with system preferences which only offers limited help.  I recently upgraded from an older macbook, but now my macbook air text is so microscopic that it doesn't seem right.

  • How do you change the Print Products Store from USA to UK like you can do in IPhoto?

    How do you change the Print Products Store from USA to UK like you can do in IPhoto?

    Please keep in mind that Aperture is not an enhanced iPhoto, it is a different application with a different philosophy and a different intended audience. If you approach it with that in mind you will have a lot less frustration as you learn Aperture.
    Aperture adds a layer of complexity that is not needed by many.  iPhoto is a very powerful application and fits the needs of many amateur photographers.
    As for your original issue, as I said I am surprised that iPhoto allows you do switch countries like that and am not surprised that Aperture doesn't. If this is something you really need to do working in Aperture but using iPhoto to order the prints is a good work around and will not be all that difficult to do once you get the hang of it.
    As for your new question, the books in iPhoto and Aperture are different enough that the code that created the book in iPhoto wouldn't work in Aperture. What happens when you import an iPhoto library into Aperture is that the images in the book are combined into an album in Aperture with the same name as the iPhoto book. You will need to re-create the book in Aperture uaing the images in this album.
    Hope this helps, post back if you have anymore questions.
    regards

    I do not understand what your question is; what do you mean by "print size"?

  • How can i change the print layout in i cal, how can i change the print layout in i cal

    Im a franklin planner user and would like to convert to ical.  How can I change the print layout in ical so I can print task on the left side and calendar events on the right side.

    Hi Mike3232,
    I'm afraid that it's not possible to adjust the print layout in iCal. Maybe you should think about changing to another program (BusyCal, etc.) that has the option to print the layout you want?
    Good luck!

  • How do I change the printer option to wireless from the present USB connection?

    When I try to print from Firefox, the print job tries to go through a USB connection to the printer. My printer is wireless and goes through a router. How do I change the settings on Firefox to recognize the router?

    I think Firefox just works with the information it gets from Windows and doesn't have any setting for how you connect to your printer.
    In the Print dialog (you can use Ctrl+p to call it up), if you click next to Name, does Firefox display two different printers, one USB and one wireless, that you could choose from?

  • How do you change the print zoom of a webpage for printing?

    I would like to know how to change the print zoom (the zoom of a page on the paper when it is printed) of a webpage for printing. I used to always do this when I had Mozilla Firefox on a Windows XP computer but ever since I got Mozilla Firefox on a Windows 7 computer, I could not do it. When I go to "File", there is no "Page setup" or "Print preview"; it just shows you the print preview and only allows you to alter the print, number of pages and copies, the layout, the colour and the zoom of the page (physical size of the whole page on the screen). I would be very grateful if anyone could solve this problem. Many thanks.

    orange Firefox button ''(or File, by hitting the Alt key to reveal the Menu Bar)'' > Print -> Print Preview ''(or Page Setup)''
    Adjust the '''Scale''' in the Print Preview window.

    What you refer to as "KMS" is an implementation detail. Like I said, nvidia has been doing modesetting in the kernel since forever. It's just that they do it only for X, while "KMS" is used by both X and framebuffer console drivers.
    It's the same with AIGLX, it's an implementation detail. Nvidia has had accelerated indirect rendering way before AIGLX came into existence. Likewise redirected direct rendering, that's also something nvidia had way before DRI2 was created.
    Oh, now I get what you mean. Nvidia has also it's own libgl implementation.
    Hund, what are you doing in the framebuffer that needs 3D? Why not use X?
    Nothing. I just use the frambuffer from time to time.

  • 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,

    Hi skinfrared, welcome to the forums!
    Try checking out the guide below for changing the print settings in a Mac. Choose 10.8 and almost near the bottom it will show you how to save the settings for future print jobs.

  • How do you Change the Tick Resolution?

    How do I change the quarter-note tick value? Like quarter note = 120, 240, or 480 ticks. Is there a global setting somewhere for that? Thanks!
    ~trevor

    Here's my workaround for non-destructive sample-accurate audio editing in the arrange window:
    Create a seperate region containing the edits you wish to make. (the smaller, the better.) Bounce this region to a new audio file. Open a new logic song. Before importing, change the tempo to 9999.0000, the meter to 4/1, and the division to 192. This results in a resolution of 31,996.8 ticks per second. Not quite 44.1, but enough to edit frequencies up to 16 kHz.
    Depending on the length of the region, you may want to increase the length of the song to 536 measures, the longest at this meter. This gives you a maximum region length of just over 51 seconds. Set your Snap to ticks. Then, make you track settings, import, and snip away.
    This gives you some undo and crossfades so you can audition and re-do your precise edits. When you are finished, bounce and re-import to your original song and replace the original region.
    Note: On my system, I have about 5 seconds of playback before I get an error message relating to synchronizing audio and MIDI, but it's enough to audition the edit/fade.

    It depends on your printer as well; my Epson AIO only does color (even when it is black font only) - or grayscale )sort of a "draft" quality) as it uses some color even for black:

  • How do I change the print margins in firefox 4.0 in ubuntu?

    When I upgraded to Natty (Ubuntu 11.4), I was automatically upgraded from firefox 3.6.x to 4.0.x
    I want to change the print margins, however when I go to File > Page Setup, it only gives me options for changing the paper size and orientation. There is no longer any sort of tab or option for margins, header & footer, etc.
    Am I missing something or is firefox?

    Try this:
    EDIT:
    * Goto about:config
    * Look for print.printer_<PRINTERNAME>.print_margin
    * change those to what you want :D
    * Restart the browser.
    ENDEDIT:
    Should help you out.

  • How do I change the rendering resolution for printing?

    Has anyone figured this out yet? I am writting an app the prints out forms and lots of reports and they keep coming out very ugly because it is only printing at 72dpi, I need it to be at 300 or so...
    Thanks,
    Peter

    I figure out how to do this after much searching. Before I was creating a bufferedimage then drawing all my content on that then drawing the bufferedimage on to the graphics that go to the printer.
    Instead I found out the better approach is to do something like this:
    class PrintablePage extends JPanel implements Printable {
      PrintablePage() {
        super(false); //Disable dubble buffering
      public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
        //Do all the drawing here
      public void print(Graphics g, PageFormat format, int page) {
        Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g;
        this.paint(g2);
        g2.dispose();
        g2 = null;
    }For some reason this prints out much higher quality than any other way I have found to print things. I don't know the exact dpi, but it is much better than the 72 I had before.
