How do I stop printing at 4X actual size?

I have 2 identical i-Macs and a sudden problem has come up. Both are connected to a laser printer vis ethernet. I-Mac #2 has suddenly started printing at 4X normal size. I-Mac #1 prints normally. Both workstations are also connected to a shared USB ink jet printer and both print normally to this printer. Can any one help me?
Thanks, Skiman

OCG, I was thinking of AJ, it certainly wouldn't hurt, I'd try it myself in this situation, but I don't hold a lot of hope for it working.
Get Applejack...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

How do you stop printing test page everytime you turn on printer

Have psc1350 all in one. How do I stop printing test page everytime I turn the printer on.

The page that is printing is an alignment page. It will be printed after a cartridge is changed, and will continue to print when the printer is turned on if the alignment is not successful. After the alignment page prints you need to place the page face down on the scanner glass and press the "Scan" button to complete the alignment. See your user manual for details.

How can i stop printing something i do not want to print. what i wanted to print is not important and uses too much paper.

some where on the computer there should be a "stop printing document"

Once you send something to your printer from any application you would have to control the printing from the printer driver and control panel. I suggest you learn how that works. It is not a Thunderbird function.

I am needing to set the DEFAULT Print to be ACTUAL SIZE not FIT. I need this to be the DEFAULT SETTING for the program.

I have a couple users using Acrobat XI Pro and when they print a PDF it is shrunk to 96.08%. I need to find a way to set the DEFAULT Setting to be Actual Size. We are a Law Firm and the Document Numbering is being cut off from the docs due to the Shrinking.
Has anyone had any experience in changing the DEFAULT settings of the Print Window? Can you please pass along any knowledge on how to accomplish this? Thanks for your time and replies.

Acrobat and Reader's Fit and Scale functions are "sticky".
From the Print Dialog > Page Size & Handling
Any option you choose will remain active for all subsequent documents.
(Some features remain active until the program is quit/restarted)
Choose Actual Size
Do not change the selection, it will retain the setting.

How can I make Preview open to actual size for all images?

In Snow Leopard, Preview open all images actual size. In Mountain Lion, vertical images (and all images larger than the screen) fit to the screen and I have to use the keyboard command to see actual size. What happened, and is there any way to fix this?

Open a PDF in Preview. Now, right-click on the toolbar and select Customize Toolbar ...
Drag the circled items from the customize panel to your toolbar and release there.
Click the middle button in the Zoom panel. The Scale will report 100%.
Your future Preview documents will open at 100% now.

How to print HTML in actual size in Safari?

Hi all,
I am trying to develop a web page that gets printed out via Safari's print menu with all graphical objects appearing on paper the same size as specified in CSS.
My CSS only uses metric units to specify sizes, but when printed the results seem to be pretty arbitrary. If an object exceeds paper size, Safari seems to scale down the page by an unknown factor, or it splits up the print area across multiple print pages. If the largest object on the page is smaller thatn the paper size, it seems to get scaled up, even if "100%" is selected in the print dialog.
How can I get a web page printed on paper so that all CSS size settings are honored?

Hi Vivek,
You can take reference of BCALV_DEMO_HTML this program.

How do I stop printing of a log prior to each document?

I have 2 HP printers installed on my pc. All in one 3150 and an All in one F4100.
Ever since I downloaded the drivers for the F4100 (didn't have the cd), almost every document I print is preceded by a log of sorts giving the Filename, Directory, Template, Title, Subject, Author etc etc etc. It doesn't matter which printer I'm specifying as the default. This wasn't occuring when I only had the 3150 installed. If I request 2 copies of a doc, I get a log for each .....very irritating, waste of paper, ink etc. Can anyone tell me where to go to disable this function? I have Vista Home.

What program are you printing from? Word has an option to "Print document settings" that would cause this to happen.

How to set up screen resolution for actual size zoom?

I have a monitor with 109 ppi resolution, and I`ve already set this resolution in photoshop and acrobat preferences, but i can`t find where in illustrator cs5 it can be set up, so i would be able to preview my artworks in correct actual print size.

Go to Edit > Preferences > User Interface and select Scale to lower supported Scale factor.
This will reset adjust the UI to 100%. You can hover over the info icon and see more details.
This happens because your OS scaling level is higher.
Good Luck.

Printing banners in actual size

What setting does the printer have to be on in order to print banners so that graphics are not elongated when printed? The preview shows up elongated. I have windows XP. photosmart premium model #SDG013-0826.

What you're experiencing is just the magnification, or view settings. If you export to an interactive PDF from CS5 you can control those upon export. If you hover your mouse down the bottom left of the Adobe Reader or Acrobat window you will see the size of the PDF which will be the same as your Indesign document. My advice would be to try different view settings and see how they affect the finished PDF, there are a lot of options available which it would take a long time to explain. Also have a play with the layout.
You can also adjust these after export (for example in a Print PDF) with Acrobat, under File > Properties > Initial view and you then have the added option of making a navagation tab open by default too, which might be useful for your ebook.

How to force a printer to use legal size paper.

Oracle Reports has had a problem since the earliest versions. It doesn't handle different paper sizes well. We have a report
written in the 2.5 version of reports. If you specify LEGAL in the page setup, everything prints great. If you call the report
from a form it always prints using the default papersize for the printer. Selecting a paper tray is not an option because the
printer in question has only one tray bay and if it requests legal, you have to put a different tray in (HP4V). I put in a tar about
it and the response was setup a special PRT file to handle legal. The problem is that the PRT and the before and after printer
codes are only used it you have a character report. If you have a bitmapped report they are ignored (not oracles finest moment).
Does anyone have any ideas of functions that can help (are you listening Duncan Mills?)

I found a methoid that while clumsy, works. I have defined another printer on my windows machine that points to the same
printer as my original printer defination. I have named this printer "Legal" and has defined legal paper as it's default. When
I print to this printer( DECTYPE, DECNAME) it now defaults to legal.
