How to print as greyscale on a Mac

I have a greyscale document from a client. When I send it to our color copier RIP and print it in greyscale mode on the copier, all the dark stuff comes out WAY darker than intended because Acrobat is sending it to the RIP in CMYK mode which in turn darkens everything up a lot.
My only workaround right now is to place the document in InDesign and send it to the RIP in greyscale mode from there.
But, is there a way to send it to the RIP directly from Acrobat in greyscale mode so I don't have to mess around with InDesign?
Using Acrobat Pro X 10.1.4 on OS X 10.8
Thanks

Under Print Production there is a Convert Color tool.

How to print double sided from my Mac to my Canon MG6350

I have looked up everywhere on the internet and youtube of how to print double sided from my Mac Book Pro. I am using OSX 10.8.5.
All of the dicussions I have looked up before have told me to go to System Preferences>Print & Scan>Options & Supplies> Driver and then tick the little box that comes up and it will allow you to print double sided. I have tried doing this but THERE IS NO DRIVER TAB!!!
I was just wondering if there was a solution to this as I can print double sided from my other appliences, like the PC and iPad, it is just my Mac Book Pro that doesn't work.
It has become a big problem for me as I'm studying at college and I need to print things double sided quite regularly. I really need this to work.

The print dialog has several drop-down menus, one of which initially shows the name of the application you're printing from. If the printer supports duplex, you can choose
Duplex Printing & Margin
from that menu. You should then see a checkbox marked
Automatic Duplex Printing

How to print a file index in mac os 10.9

How do I print a file index in 10.9?

I don't have a plain CD, but I tried a CD-RW and the ability to leave it appendable was not available. I'm not sure if that is related to CD-RW or if the feature was dropped in Mavericks.
Check the More Like This links on the right.
The process previously was to create an image of the folder that held the things you wanted to burn. Then, in Disk Utility, burn the image to disk and check the box to leave it appendable. This was only available for CDs, not DVDs.
You might try some other burning software.

How to connect a printer (wireles) to an existing mac-AE network from a PC?

I have an airport extreme configured network that works perfectly well. That means that my mac connection to Internet is fine and I can print documents wireless without a problem from my mac.
Recently I got a PC computer (OS Windows 7). Since the beginning, it recognized the wireless network and, after input the network password, it connects as fine as the mac does to Internet.
The problem came up when I tried to configure the printer to print wireless from the new PC, as I do with the mac. Simply, I have not managed to do so. I only can print with the cable from the new PC.
I have not installed any software related to the airport extreme base (airport utility). I thought that it was unnecessary since I could connect to the existing network with the PC since the beginning. But I do not know if that is required.
If someone know how to proceed (the steps) to successfully configure the PC/Printer to print wireless in the existing Mac/AirportExtreme/Printer network, I would be very greatful.
Thank you!
Neil

I am trying to connect a Windows 7 / 64 bit to an Epson printer on my Mac. The printer is hooked into the Mac via USB; the Mac is networked to a Linksys wireless router with an ethernet cable, as is the Windows box. Any tips on how to do this?

I am trying to connect a Windows 7 / 64 bit to an Epson printer on my Mac. The printer is hooked into the Mac via USB; the Mac is networked to a Linksys wireless router with an ethernet cable, as is the Windows box. I installed the current Bonjour printer services software on the Windows machine, and separately installed the driver software for the Epson printer on the WIndows machine. Running the bonjour wizard, I get an alert saying 'I don't have sufficient access to my computer to connect to the selected printer'.
The printer has 'sharing' turned on from the Mac end; this works with a Powerbook via the wireless connection. Sharing is also turned on in the Windows printer control panel for this printer (under properties). The Mac is a G5 running 10.5.8. When I try to print a page from the Windows machine it gets hung in the print queue.
Any advice how to proceed would be appreciated!
thx,

How to print color document in greyscale without it being really dark?

Recently had a customer come in and want some holiday letters printed out. They had a bunch of color photos in the document and when we printed that from Adobe Acrobat to our black and white copier, they came up REALLY black. Everything was much darker that it should have been.
Normally we work around this issue by placing the document into InDesign and printing it in Greyscale mode from there since you can tell it RGB, CMYK or Greyscale from InDesign. Problem is, if I wasn't here, nobody else would know how to do this and they would probably have to turn the customer away.
Our counter machine is a WindowsXP machine with the newest version of Acrobat Reader. I saw this link elsewhere here:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/948555?tstart=0
But that doesn't work. When clicking on Advanced button in the print window for Acrobat Reader, the Advanced window doesn't have anything about printing in greyscale. The copier is a Canon iR 7095.
Any thoughts on what we can do? Basically, I want to be able to have the ladies that work the counter (and the counter PC) to be able to print color documents to the black and white machine without having a problem with the output and having to either come into my office and have me help with it, or having to turn the customer away.
Any thoughts?

How to print a pdf file of compounds A3 and A4 with adobe mac

how to print a pdf file of compounds A3 and A4 with adobe mac, windows with the option I choose paper source by PDF page size mac but I can not find it. how to get it thank you

I think if you use the start-command, the execution is asynchronously and you won't get the correct process-id. Try to execute Acorbat directly without the cmd /c start in front of it.

Staples was not able to print my document created in mac "Pages." How do I convert it to a publisher file?

The Staples store was unable to print my document flyer that I created in mac "Pages" that I saved on my flash drive. They said they couldn't convert it from mac and to go back and "save as" "publisher file." However, when I click file, save as does not come up as an option. How can I get my flyer printed?
Thanks,

On your Mac select print the document. Once in print pane select Save as PDF. The PDF they will recognize.

When printing two-sided from my Mac on landscape A4 with 2 columns, how can I get my HP Photosmart 6520 to print the same way up?

When printing two-sided from my Mac on landscape A4 with 2 columns, how can I get my HP Photosmart 6520 to print the same way up?

Or, it is set the other way around (which makes more sense). Even though you are in Landscape mode, it is binding on the Long Side of the paper. Since you are in Landscape, you would want it to bind on the short side.
Think of the Binding like a Book. How would you flip the finished pages to read the “book.” Where it would be bound in the imaginary book is how you want it to print.

Used to highlight just the portion of an article that I wanted to print and press print selection only. How do you do that with a MAC?

Depends to some extent what application you're printing from, and what printer you're using, but here's the dialogue box for ⌘P in Firefox -
Note the option to print selection only.
Haven't looked before, but I can't find anything similar in Pages print options.
It does appear in Word though.

Been using Macs since classic. Using MBP, OS 10.7.5. Trying to figure out how to print/save folder contents (Name, Date Modified, Size Kind) of entire (non-visible) folder? Any apps that can do this?

Been using Macs since before classic. Using MBP, OS 10.7.5. Trying to figure out how to print/save folder contents including what's not visible on screen (Name, Date Modified, Size Kind) in entire folder?
Screen shots are getting old hat.
Tried select all, copy, paste into pages, but it didn't display date modified, size & kind, and also included images of selected files, which is too large.
Any apps/shortcuts/utilities that can do this? Thanks in advance.

Hello Achates:
I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.
