How do I revert to the default printer settings? I'm stuck on 4 sheets per page.

I selected 4 sheets per page for a job a few days ago. Since then, every time I go to print from Reader, 4 sheets per page shows up as the default. I have to manually change it to "custom" with 1 by 1 and then it will print normally (1 sheet per page). However, when I return to print something else (both in the same session - not closing the program, and also when I close the program and return), it will be back on 4 sheets per page!
1) How do I return the printer to the default settings?
2) Why is there no 1 sheet per page setting option? It seems odd that I have to select "custom" and then specify 1 by 1. Or perhaps my question should be "where" is the option to select a single sheet per page, rather than a custom setting?
Thanks in advance.

Right-click on a toolbar and click on the "Menu Bar" entry to select it, that will get rid of the Firefox button and display the menu bar instead.
To change the tabs to below the other toolbars, right-click on a toolbar and click on the "Tabs on Top" entry to de-select it.
This site has some further things you can tweak - http://www.computertechtips.net/64/make-firefox-4-look-like-ff-3-6

Hi,
Try saving your settings as a Preset by clicking the Preset drop down and then select Save Current Settings as a Preset.
Next try changing the settings by selecting the saved preset.
That allow saving the settings for a specific printer, I assume it may also allow selecting these settings for another printer.

Excel 2010 not using the default print settings

Currently got an issue with Excel 2010 not using the default print settings for a couple of users on our network,
basically when pressing cntrl P or selecting the print option from the file menu the printer settings are different to the print settings selected in the devices and printers menu, we have checked the print drivers etc but this has still not resolved the
issue, all other office programs are fine and also other users are reporting this issue more and more with different printers,
tried restarting print spooler service and re-installing office but this has come to no avail,
any ideas would be much appreciated!

Hi,
This issue occurs because the Page Setup settings that you specify in your file override the settings that you specify in the printer driver properties.
To work around this issue, do not specify the paper size, page orientation, or page margins in the printer driver properties. Instead, specify these settings in your workbook.
To specify these settings, follow these steps:
1.Start Excel, and then open the workbook you want to change.
2.In Microsoft Office Excel 2010, click the sheet that you want to print, and then click the Page Layout tab. In the Page Setup group, click Page Setup to open the Page Setup dialog box.
3.Click the Page tab.
4.Under Paper size, click the paper size that you want.
5. Click Options button and in Printing Shortcuts tab, in the Paper source area, perform one of the following steps: ◦If the printer can automatically select the correct paper tray to use, click Default tray in the First page list, and then click Default
tray in the Other pages list.
Default tray is the default setting in both of these lists.
◦If the printer cannot automatically select the correct paper tray to use, you may have to select the paper tray that contains the paper size that you selected in step 4.
To do this, click the appropriate paper tray in the First page list and in the Other pages list.
6.If you want to change the page orientation or its page margins, click the Finishing tab.
7.Select the options that you want.
8.Click OK.
9.Repeat steps 2 to 8 for each sheet of your workbook for which you want to specify settings.

How do I revert to the original printer driver?

Hi all-
Just got a new Macbook Pro 15". I have a Canon MP780, and figured I'd try to update the printer & scanner driver for this printer. Downloaded and installed it, but now many of the printer option are struck-out in the Copies & Pages pop-down, and choosing one of these options says (c) Canon 2001-2004. Obviously, I've installed older drivers over new ones... how can I reinstall the original driver that came with my MBP?
Thanks!

The strike-through is a result of using a PPC driver on an Intel Mac. What you need to do is download the Universal Binary driver for this model. Looking at the Canon Aussie web site there is a v4.1.9 for OS X, which I believe is Universal (the post date shows Jan 2007). Before installing v4.1.9 you will need to remove the version currently installed (BTW - there wouldn't have been any drivers for this model included with your MBP, unless someone ran this up for you). Following is a procedure for removing the old and installing the new;
1. Open Printer Setup Utility, click on Printer Setup Utility and select Reset Printing System.
2. Close the Printer Setup Utility.
3. Go to Library > Printers > Canon and delete the contents of the BJPrinters folder.
4. Go to Library > Receipts and delete the file Canon MP780 xxx.pkg
5. Empty the Trash
6. Restart the Mac
7. Install version 4.1.9 of the Canon driver
8. Once the driver installation is complete, go to Applications > Utilities and open Disk Utility. Run the Repair Disk Permissions option.
9. Open Printer Setup Utility and click Add.
10. Select the Default Browser view and select the Canon printer connected via the USB port. The Print Using menu should automatically change to Canon IJ Printer.
11. Click Add to add the printer.

Labview 7 - How do I tell if the default printer is connected?

I have an HP USB printer as the default. It works fine when I print to it in LabVIEW. But, if I disconnect it, no errors occur. So I can't tell that my report did not print!

Hello.
You should get an error message that says either the command failed or that the vi failed to get printer information (depending on whether you are using a Standard Report or a Word/Excel Report) when the print vi runs. Try creating a test vi that opens a new report, adds some characters, prints, and closes. If there are no printers connected you should get an error message.
If you have another printer connected to your computer it is possible the default is being reset and it is sent to that printer.
Also, make sure you are using error handling to ensure that you catch the error that comes out of the print vi.

Apple Mail app: how can I revert to the default layout after I changed it to the classic layout?

It's Mac OS X Mavericks. I've changed my Apple Mail app viewing style to "classic layout" in viewing/mail preference, and now I want to return back to the default layout. How can I do this?

Sorry, you didn't mention that you had. In any case, I don't have any further suggestions as it worked as it should when I tested it.

Change default print settings in PS

I was wondering if anyone knows how I could change the default print settings so that crop marks and labels are turned on by default. I've tried using automator, and making an action but haven't had any luck. Thanks.

anyone??
It would also be nice to have a default set of commands under print settings, like paper size, media type, color management, etc.

Any way to override default printer settings into a PDF

Hi -- I work for a large organization that has lots of computers and printers and prints a lot of forms and documents. We are moving towards more digitization of documents and records including printing forms as needed as opposed to having large sets of forms onhand. This should save us a lot of time and money once complete as these forms often change and the old process would be to then trash much of these documents and re-print for just one change. The majority of our printers do have letter & legal trays as well as duplex support, however due to the vast number of users the default printer settings tied to each user and/or computer may be slightly different. While standardizing all the printer settings across all users/computers would be one solution, we don't anticipate doing this as depending on the job peformed the different settings may be more preferable / advantageous for that user.
As such the other solution I can think of is to hardcode the specific printer settings needed to correctly print a large document into that PDF file which may differ from that computer's print settings. For example, the default computer print settings may be to print on just 1 side but duplex would be encoded / scripted directly into the PDF so IRREGARDLESS of the computer/printer settings this document would always print duplexed.
Is there anyway to do this? I would need to do more than just duplexing -- ie some form sets would need to be both duplexed and 'fit to printable area' whereas some would need to be only on one page and 'shrunk to printable area', etc, etc. Our current practice is to insert a 1 page coversheet at the front of each document with the printer settings that need to be used for that form set, however this has been difficult for some users to do and has caused unnecessary time with our IT troubleshooting form printing.

Hi Brandon,
You can use the Print Presets in Acrobat for that purpose. Please follow the steps below:
1. Open the PDF in Acrobat
2. Open Document Properties dialog (using Ctrl + D)
3. Select the "Advanced" tab
4. In the "Print dialog Presets" section, you can choose DuplexMode as well as Page Scaling for this document.
Please let us know if this works for you
Thanks,

Default printer settings for HP Deskjet 882c

All I want to do is set this printer to print in black and white by default. If I wanted color, I would use my other printer ... I want faster than a snails pace so I brought this one back out.
Being a PC for my entire life, this should be an easy thing to set the default print settings on the printer. I don't see them!
What I am printing is emails off hotmail ... tons of them ... going back months ... so please don't ask me to add an additional step here ...
Pulling my hair out here ... help would be lovely!

You are on the right track for sure. The claim code is in fact printed in blue, so if your color inks are low or empty it will not show up.
I noticed there are 2 version of the 6500A, I will go under the assumption that you do not have the 'Plus' version since you didn't specify this, shouldn't be a big discrepancy either way (let me know if I am wrong).
Viewing your ink levels is covered here, your Cyan ink cartridge could be empty : http://goo.gl/RjIhbp
You can still find the claim code on the front panel of your printer without color ink. Go back to web services on your printers display and it will show your "*@hpeprint.com" email address. The prefix before the "@" is in fact your code.
Also note that your code has most likely expired, which happens after 24 hours of being generated. Not a big deal. If your code has expired you will have to reset the web services in your printer, this will generate a new printer code. You can do this easily from the front panel of your printer.
Follow this link and expand the section “What if I lose my printer code before registering?” under “Frequently asked questions (FAQs)”
http://goo.gl/0WUyIe
(*a note on step 4, some firmware updates may have simplified this entire step to be simply “remove web services”)
After enabling the web services again the printer code area will still be blank if you are out of cyan ink.
Regardless the new code will display on the front panel (under web services).
I hope this gets you going with ePrint. Let me know if you are having issues printing in color beyond this, or if you are still experiencing difficulties with ePrint.

Default print settings

I need to change my default print settings to black and white. I've changed it in the print dialog box to grayscale, but when I print coupons, that box doesn't come up; it just automatically prints in color. My Dell desktop let me change the default print settings for my exact same printer, so it's not a problem with the printer. Please help. Thanks.

Have the same issue. Did you get it resolved?

Default Printer Settings

Am just setting up my first Mac. Have connected a Brother 5150D printer which works fine both on Mac and on wireless network but..... as most of my printing is duplex (to save paper) I want to set this as the default and get two-sided printing each time I click the print icon in Office Mac or any other application. I have set up the printer and gone to http//:127.0.0.1.631/printers and set the parameters to duplex - no tumble and set the duplex option in printer preferences/layout. Despite these default settings when I click the print icon it always prints single sided. The only way I can get duplex printing is to click file/print/copies & pages/layout/2 sided/long edge binding and hit print. I have restarted the Mac after changes, recycled the printer, deleted and reinstalled the printer but the icon default seems to remain insistent on printing single sided
Help please!!

Hello dgcornett,
Depending on which printer that you have, the software interface to change the default print settings could vary. You can click the link below to view steps to change the settings on the Photosmart 7510 series printer, which is a recently released printer.

If you can specify the printer that you have, more specific steps can be posted.

Change default print settings

How can I retrieve the IP address of the default printer from the windows registry

I am using LabVIEW 7 on windows NT4 computers.
I have a SubVI that I use to ping the network printer to make sure that the printer is on line prior to sending a print at the end of testing a unit.
If LabVIEW does not get a reply to its ping data is saved locally and the user informed.
I would like to modify the VI that pings the printer to ping the default printer of the computer on which the VI is running.
I would be grateful if anyone can show me how to retrieve the default printers IP address.

Hi Stuart,
The registry entries for User's Default Printer are:
Win 9x:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Windows]
NT/XP:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows]
"Device"="Printer Name"
The device is the name used to represent the printer in the registry. The name can be found in the [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers\Settings] key.
Machine name is part of the "Printer Name," which you can use to ping directly (i.e., w/out having to look-up its IP address).
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Khalid

On first startup each day my tool bars revert to the default setting instead of my customized setting. Why? How do I stop it from happening.

This happens on both of my computers. After I close down Firefox and then start it up again it sometimes comes to my customized set of tool bars. At other times it does not. Usually the first time I start Firefox it reverts to the default Toolbars. My extensions are Adblock plus, Browsing protection, down them all, float notes, Image Zoom, Java Console 6.0.21 and 6.0.16, Java quick starter, Kodak Easyshare, Link Password, Mile wide back, Microsoft.net framework, Print/print preview, Reminder fox, WOT, Xmarks, Yet another smooth scrolling.

This is caused by a corrupt file, for details on fixing it see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Toolbar+keeps+resetting

How do I set the default print margins for ALL printers in mozilla.cfg

How do I set the default print margins for ALL printers in mozilla.cfg, even ones that are not yet installed / connected to the computer?
I'm trying to install firefox with MDT and apply certain print options, but the printers themselves are connected at a later stage so the print.printer_myprinterhere cannot be used.

Best answer I could find: [https://mike.kaply.com/2012/03/16/customizing-firefox-autoconfig-files/#comment-132668]
If you can figure out how to add the printer name, this can be used to lock the margins.
