How do I keep my printing preferences?

Every week I print out my calander in a list form and every week I have to repeat setting the printing preferences. I would like to go to my Calander > Print screen and have it stay at the same print preference setting as the last time I used it. Is there a way to do this?

Re the Printer settings, If your printer uses the standard CUPS type interface ike below, you can put in all the settings then save a Preset called MyCalendar or similar.
"Save current Settings as Preset"
Re Calendar settings, sorry cant help

How do i change the printer preferences

Hi I have just got my iMac with Aperture up and running. I would like to print some photos but I cannot find where I can alter the printer preferences to show the correct type of paper? anyone know the answer?
Thanks

Press the print command (Command P) and the preferences are there. You can customize them and even save specific preferences you have set up. Each printer will be different depending on that printers abilities, for example on the printer I currently have connected it looks something like:
AND

How do I set the print preference to use black ink only?

Despite having a color printer, I want to print in grayscale , black ink only, by default

That depends on your printer and the software that came with the printer. You can consult your printer manual or the online site for your printer manufacturer.
Generally, to change for the '''current session only''', File > Print, click Properties, in the new window see what options are offered. Take special note whether there is an option to use black cartridge only.
To change for '''all future sessions''', click (Windows) Start > Settings > Printers and Faxes, click you printer from the list, in the new window, click Printer > Printing Preferences. You will see the same window as in the instructions for '''current session only''' above, see what options are offered and look for use black cartridge only option. You may need to restart your computer. Test by printing one page that contains colored text or elements.

How do you keep the print settings to always default to select photo tray.

I'm using a brand new HP wireless c7280 printer with Iphoto 08 w/new Imac 24 (bought 5/08).

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I don't know how for sure. Go into the System Preferences/Print and Fax pane and see if you can set it there.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

How do I adjust the printing preferences? all my pages print in miniature when I use Firefox and try to print from a webpage.

I cannot print from any webpage, including my hotmail account, without the page printing at about 20% of the normal size. If I use Explorer, I have no problems with printing.

Well, I tried your suggestion, and it did increase the font size, but it will only print within the top half and about the middle 1/3 of the page. So, to print something that should fit on one page, it would take 3 to 5 pages....I tried looking at the margins and they were all set to 0. changing them to 1 inch didn't help...any other suggestions?

How to delete printer preferences

When I try to go and change the default printer, it reverts back to previous printer.
When I try to "use last used printer" option, print to new printer, then go back to print the default has changed back to the old printer.
When you go to the printer settings and try to set there it reverts right away back to the old printer.
I have tried to delete the old and new printer but the old keeps on coming back.
How can I get this reset. Or get the printer preferences delete so I can set a default printer again.
Thanks for any assistance,
Ben

Thanks for the tip Cattus Thraex, I think that may have did it. I am not sure if this fixed the issue but when I went back to look at the system the new default printer was selected. So I went ahead and tried this anyway and I will update if still an issue.
Thanks for the help.

I just purchased a new ipod touch so now I have two. I do not want the second ipod touch to sync the same as the old ipod touch - 2 people with 2 different music preferences. How do I keep them separate.

I just purchased a new ipod touch so now I have two. I do not want the second ipod touch to sync the same as the old ipod touch - 2 people with 2 different music preferences. How do I keep them separate.

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

How do I keep my email password from remaining in Preferences? I want to enter it every time I get my mail. I upgraded to OS M Lion but it won't let me delete it from preferences. It's worked prior to using M. Lion. Any suggestions? Thanks!! Jen

How do I keep my email password from remaining in Preferences? I want to enter it every time I get my mail. I upgraded to OS M Lion but it won't let me delete it from preferences (the password from Account Info). Once you enter the password, it keeps it permanently. i do not want that. It's worked prior to using M. Lion. Any suggestions? Also, The other pressing issue i have is, I DO NOT want ANY mail showing in my inboxes when Mail starts UNTIL i enter that password for each account. Instead of creating different user accounts for the MacBook, it's just easier this way. Or is it? If this is a permanent thing, then I may switch back to Lion. I guess I shoud've waited until the kinks were out before installing (**** Mac-head!)
Thank you all kindly for any suggestions & your time
Regards,
JC

I DO NOT want ANY mail showing in my inboxes when Mail starts UNTIL i enter that password for each account.
That is simply not possible with Mail, and never has been. Anyone who uses your account can see all messages stored in Mail. The only true solution is to not let other people use your account. Let other people use the guest account, or if you share the machine with someone else, set up a separate user account for that person. This will also solve the problem of remembering the password. It will become a non-issue for Mail to remember your password if nobody else has access to your account.

How do I keep my HP1510 All-in-one from printing so many test pages?

How do I keep my HP1510 All-in-one from printing so many test pages? My printer is connected to my laptop, and it seems that every time I disconnect, the printer wants to print an test page when I reboot. I don't know where the option is to turn this off.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

The pages are likely alignment pages. When a new cartrdige is installed the printer will print an alignment page that must be placed on the scanner glass and the Scan button pressed to complete the alignment process. If the alignment is not completed it will repeat when the printer is turned on or perhaps at the end of print jobs.
The alignment page will stop printing when the alignment process has completed. See the page here for information.

How to find Printer preferences in Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac?

Does anyone have an idea where or how to access the printer preferences or dialog box through Elements 8 for mac? I have an Epson R2880 and am trying to access the printer preferences to be able to change the paper type, print in B/W or choose different things. I am able to access this on Elements 8 for Windows but not for Mac, does it exist or am I looking in the wrong place?

After you click Print in the PSE print window, the OS X print window appears. You may need to click the arrow to the right of the printer's name to expand the dialog box to see the menus, but you'll find the paper/ink settings in the pulldown menu in the middle of the larger window.

How do I restore printer preferences from time machine in Mountain Lion?

Yesterday I deleted all the printers and and after reinstalling the printer drivers from the printer disc, the printer cannot find the software, so how do retore the printer preferences from time machine?

The printer is a Samsung CLX-3180 series. I have downloaded the printer drivers from Apple:
Samsung Printer Drivers v2.5 for OS X
Then when I go into System preferences to Add the Samsung printer, I get the following message:
"Can't install the software for the Samsung CLX-3180 Series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server." Which I don't understand as i have downloaded the new drivers and the CLX-3180 is listed as a covered printer.
