How do I set the print area in Numbers?

Hi Macuser4ever,
Numbers does not have the 'Set Print Area' feature. Numbers is designed around several tables, each with a purpose. For example, Input Table, Big Database, Intermediate Calculations Table (all of which you may not need to print) and a final Summary (Presentation) Table that you may wish to print. The Summary Table can be on its own Sheet. Arrange objects (Summary Table, Charts [graphs] and whatever) on one Sheet and print only that Sheet.
If you are using Numbers 3.x (Layout View and Print View missing) try this User Tip:
Print Layout Guide for Mac Numbers 3.2
Regards,
Ian.

How do I set the print and paper size in iPhoto 5

Can somebody please help. How do you set up iPhoto 5 so that you define both the the size of the print and the photo paper you use?
For example, I wish to print a 4.5cm x 3.5 cm photo on 6x4 (or 15cm x 10cm to keep all the units the same) paper.
I've seen a post saying how to do it in iPhoto 8, but the drop-downs are different.

I do not remember the locations in iPhoto 5 but there are probably three places to mess with
1 - set the paper size
2 - set the print size
3 - set the paper tray for the printer to use that has the paper size that you set in step 1
these may be in the print sequence or under the file menu as page set up (or similar). If these are not obvious try the Help menu

How to set a print area in Numbers

This one should be easy: set print range for the cells that require to be printed. There does not to be a way to do it, or is it so obvious that I missed it?

Okay, I've been following this conversation, can't keep my mouth shut.
For what it's worth, I spend about 90% of my work day in excel and while I'm no power user by any means, I'm reasonably competent in it. I think in spreadsheets. It's a curse. I've used every spreadsheet there is that will run on a Mac, and none has even come close to excel's usefulness. Yes, that includes all the third-party attempts that claim to be business-ready. They're just not, and neither is Numbers.
Crazierthanu, I think excel can at least manage all of the issues you listed. For global settings you can select all the tabs you want to change and any change you make on one will be made on all of the selected tabs. So if you set Portrait and Fit to Page in page setup, all the tabs will print in Portrait and the data fitted to a single sheet. The downside to this is when there are different "sizes" of data on the various tabs; that can result in varying font sizes, another problem. Again in excel (I choose not to capitalize microsoft product names, call it a personal quirk born of extreme disgust with the company), in print view one can, with a few keyboard shortcuts, select the area to be printed and set print area from the context menu. It's very straightforward. And you can select any part of the data to print, eschewing all else. This is how you'd print non-rectangular areas. You can use this function to print discontinuous areas also, though they'll print on separate pages. To print multiple tabs at one time, select each tab you wish to print while holding down Ctnl or Shift.
Anyway. I sure don't want to sound like an excel supporter because I've put myself through a lot of suffering to avoid having to buy it. And I still haven't. I'll go a long way to keep M$ from getting any of my money. But excel is a good spreadsheet, the best there is so far. Printing should be simple. Maybe M$ patented excel's printing paradigm and no one else can use any of it. That would be par.
Many of these items are possible in Numbers. What's so frustrating is the screwy slider that makes you print the whole sheet and everything on it. I don't want to print everything on a sheet, and I want to easily select paper orientation (I think someone mentioned how to do that and I'd bet it would work globally by selecting multiple sheets in the left column).
I too think Nick hit it on the head when he said that you have to compromise sheet layout to fit within Numbers' print paradigm. That's just ridiculous. The application needs to bend to my will just a bit more than that.
Because I've invested a great deal of hope and what to me is not an insignificant amount of money, I'll learn to use Numbers. But Apple sure missed the boat with this one if they hoped to get excel users to switch. Unless they have a serious personal vendetta against microsoft, pretty much any spreadsheet user in the world will scoff at this first generation attempt and continue using excel. You can sure make "pretty" spreadsheets with Numbers, but it's awful hard to get any work out of it.
I've printed the Numbers manual and maybe I'll learn what I need to know from reading it. Heaven knows I've read enough excel books! Maybe that's what the first version of Numbers needs - someone to figure out how to use it and write a book for the rest of us. Hey, maybe that can be my retirement fund!

#*$!%! Can't figure out how REALLY to set the printing defaults so they STICK for everything

PLEASE DON'T REPLY HERE. PLEASE REPLY TO MY IDENTICAL POST AT
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board/message?board.id=Software&thread.id=5348
On our 6-month old HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 Wireless A909g, we can't seem to figure out how to set the DEFAULT printing parameters so they really apply to all docs (unless we designate otherwise for a particular doc, of course). When we set them, sometimes they work for the next doc, and sometimes they revert back to an earlier setting.
There seem to be three ways to set parameters for the printer: Properties, Printing Preferences or Printing Defaults on the Advanced tab. (We really thought Printing Defaults on the Advanced tab would do it, since it's so hard to find, but ... NOT.)
My partner thinks it's an HP conspiracy to sell more ink because the reversion is to General with Color (the most ink-intensive, as far as I can figure out). We are trying to fix the machine to start always with Fast-Economical/Black Ink Only. Sometimes it's there and sometimes we have to re-jigger first. We still have to check every time.
Also, I want to fix every job to "Print Back to Front" because the printer shoots out the pages face up. Again, sometimes it's there, and sometimes we have to re-set before the job.
Also, whether we get the default we had set or we re-jigger first, the settings don't stick for every worksheet in an Excel workbook. Or sometimes not even every page.
So, who out there has the 100% foolproof guide to NAILING DOWN THOSE SETTINGS FOR EVERYTHING?

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 can I set the printer to continuously print from a roll of paper?

I need to print something continuously from one long piece of paper. I have googled this but all I find are answers on how to do this with an epsom printer! Just got my first HP printer today (J110) and pleased with it so far, but I'm having trouble finding out how to set it to continuously print.
Many thanks for any advice.

How do I set the printer to default in fast mode?

I want my printer to default to the fast mode rather than standard; as it is I have to adjust it for each document. How do I do that?

Every Printer driver allow you to save a set of settings.
For instance,
I defined
A4 black & white
A4 colors
listings black & white (which prints two pages on an A4 sheet)
listing colors (which prints two pages on an A4 sheet)
Do the same with your settings.
Use the item Enregistrer or the item Enregistrer sous to save your settings.

How do you set the Crystal Report Viewer Printer to Duplex

Using the code below I can print in duplex mode, but this does not let me view a report before printing
How do I set the Printer in the Viewer Control Bar of the Crystal Report Viewer to Duplex Printing programmatically rather than having to manually select Duplex through the preferences option?
I have searched but the only example code I found produces errors in the code and will not run
Private myReport As ReportDocument
myReport = New ReportDocument()
myReport.PrintOptions.PaperSize = PaperSize.PaperA4
myReport.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Portrait
myReport.PrintOptions.PrinterDuplex = PrinterDuplex. Vertical
myReport.PrintToPrinter(3, False, 0, 0)
In my VB6 Project that I am converting to VB.NET when I added Report.PrinterDuplex = crPRDPVertical, this allowed me to view the report and then print with Duplex without having to set the Print Preferences manualy

How do I set my printer to black and white ONLY?

I have an HP Photosmart All-In-One C4480. I don't want to have to buy color cartridges, because I only need black and white, and I have three black and white cartridges already. How do I set the printer to print my documents in black and white only?
Thanks,
TW

Hi,
Follow the steps below to print using Black Ink only:
1. From the application used to print, click the File menu and select Print. The Print window appears.
NOTE: The Print window might be minimized: Click the Show Details button to see all available settings.
2. To access the color options, click the lowest selection box listed as the name of the program (e.g. TextEdit)
Will appear as Copies & Pages within Microsoft Office applications.
3. Select Paper Type/Quality from the drop-down menu.
4. Click the triangle next to Color Options to expend the settings.
5. Set the Color field as Grayscale.
6. Set the Grayscale Mode as Black Ink Cartridge Only.
You may save the settings for future use by clicking Presets > Save Current Settings as Preset...
Any used preset will remain default so simply select teh standard preset to print in color.

On my hp officejet pro 2000 wireless, how do I find the "printer code" so I can set up eprint??

printer is installed and working well, but I want now to set up eprinting so I can print from my ipad. i have installed the free app on my ipad, but seems I also need to enter a printer code to set it up. the 2000 does not have a screen so I cannot see any info there. How can I discover the printer code?

How old is the printer? I am not finding any support paged for the Officejet 2000. Here is a link to a document that goes over the supported printers for cloud services. There is a dropdown for HP Officejet products, click on that drop down and it will produce a chart that will show which models are capable of ePrint and other cloud services. I hope that this helps.

If you can figure out how to add the printer name, this can be used to lock the margins.
