How to print with "Scale: 100%" by default from Preview

The print dialogue in Preview is set by default to "Scale to Fit".
I never need this, I always need "Scale: 100%".
It's annoying to change all the time I have to print a PDF from Preview the setting!
I tried to save the print setting, but it does not work.
So. Is there a way to set the print dialogue by default to "Scale: 100%" ?
Mayby with a Terminal command?

AFAICT, only for PDF files. If you want to report this issue to Apple's engineering, send a bug report or an enhancement request via its Bug Reporter system. To do this, join the Mac Developer Program—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report or enhancement request. The nice thing with this procedure is that you get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

  • How can I print with a wider left margin in Preview? (OSX 10.5)

    How can I print with a wider left margin in Preview? (OSX 10.5)
    To punch Binder Holes.
    Should be easy ... Make a Custom page with a wider left margin ... easy to set up, but it does not actually work for any printer I am connected to.
    Info so far:
    Found an older post from 2002 ... "Make a custom page"
    Mac Help has a limited, simple, incomplete answer: "Make a custom page"
    Tried three printers. One Postscript Level 3 One Level 2 and one non postscript
    Switching between page types in the drop down shows a change in the print preview, and the floating information shows the correct page size and larger left margin... but the "Custom Page Size" does not show a larger left margin, in the preview, no mater how it is set.
    There also appear to be a relation ship between the radio Buttons for scale and the margin settings.
    Test prints have simply cut off the left side of the document, and scaled the document from the right side in and the top down.
    Printing a PDF from Preview
    MacBook Pro
    OSX 10.5.6
    Thanks
    Peter

    Thanks ... tried the Paper Handling, but no lock.
    Based on the fact that any scaling, "moves" the image down and to the left on the paper ...
    Th only "work around" solution is to ...
    Rotate the PDF page 180, then scale slightly (90% or so ...)
    This pushes the upside down page, down and to the left.
    While this is the opposite of what is desired, the print is then correct when
    it is punched and placed into a three ring binder.
    Assumption is the application that creates the documnt, needs to have the paper margins set. The reality is, an application like Preview, that does not "create anything", needs to handle existing documents PDF, JPEG and print to Custom Page configurations.
    ie: In Preview, Custom Page does not work correctly,
    Thanks allfor the comments and help ...

  • How to print with a wireless printer with airport extreme

    how to print with a wireless printer with airport extreme

    The problem is not the router.. the issue is the vpn has put your computer in a different IP range with a different gateway. When you turn off the vpn the computer returns to local lan and can print.
    Some vpn software allows you to set gateway to use local net instead of remote gateway or access to other webistes or local lan.
    Read up the issue.
    http://stevejenkins.com/blog/2010/01/using-the-local-default-gateway-with-a-wind ows-vpn-connection/
    Cisco vpn client..
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/239113
    I did not search much.. just grabbed the first article I could find that explains the issue.
    The whole point of the vpn is whilst it is connected your computer is NOT part of the Local Lan .. it is part of the Remote LAN via the vpn tunnel.
    It is also a security risk using split tunnelling so often it will not be allowed.
    Plug the printer directly into the computer via usb or whatever.. Local connection will work.. not local lan.

  • Need instruction on how to print with HP Officejet 6210

    this is with a powerbook G4 1.5, OS 10.4.5, and an HP Officejet 6210 with newest drivers (released 8/06).
    I've used an HP PSC950 for years, connected to my AEBS with USB, using Felix's instructions for setting up the foomatic/hpijs driver, always worked great. Once in a while it would go out on me, rarely, and i'd reinstall the driver and it would work again.
    Several months ago, i was trying to print something on Mapquest and i gave too many commands at once and the system got confused and ever since then, it won't print wirelessly, reinstalling the driver didnt' help.
    Also, i'm not sure i'm adapting Felix's instructions to the new OS which doesn't exactly match the instructions.
    Anyway, haven't had wireless printing in months. Finally tonight, i went out and got a new printer, the HP Officejet 6210, first checking and finding it on the compatability list, both Felix's list and HP's list.
    I set it up, it works fine with direct computer/printer USB connection.
    I just don't know how to set up the Mac to print with the 6210. I have the 6210 connected to the AEBS with USB cable. I dont know what else to do.
    I went to an HP page where it gives step by step instructions for USB to Airport instructions.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&cc=us&docname=c00592751&produc t=421991&dlc=en&lang=en
    Step one and two are OK. Step 3 says:
    "Turn on the printer and verify that the wireless mode is enabled. If you need more information on how to enable the wireless mode, see the User Manual which shipped with the printer."
    I have no clue about how to verify that the wireless mode is enabled. In the index of the 6210 User Manual there is not a word about 'wireless.' The word 'network' isn't in there either. Under 'Connection' it doesn't mention anything about wireless printing. So i'm not really able to do this step.
    I tried to do the other steps but if they are talking about the Airport pull down menu in Step 4, there is no printer listed there. I tried to follow step 5 but it leads nowhere.
    Is there some way to set up the Mac the way i set it up for the foomatic/hpijs driver for the PSC 950, so that i can select 10.0.1.1 in the printer menu and print? I tried going into the set up utility and chose Add and chose internet IPP printing and wanted to choose the HP 6210 driver but it wasn't available. There was an HP 6200 series foomatic/hpijs driver--what does that mean? Am i supposed to use that? I chose that and tried to print from 10.0.1.1 but in Print Jobs it just says "10.0.1.1 is busy, will retry in 30 seconds." In other words, it doesn't work. This is what happened when i tried to get the PSC 950 working again too.
    Anyway, the HP instructions don't have anything to do with any of this. They just say to make sure the wireless mode is on and then go to Safari and choose Bonjour and various other things that when i try them, they aren't available as choices.
    I know that someone on these forums was able to use Bonjour to print with their laptop so it must be possible (with Windows however).
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1494092&#1494092
    Plus HP says they tested the connection with Mac OS and it works. So it must just be a matter of some knowledge i am lacking that would get it working.
    If the printer won't work, i have to return it within 14 days so I need to get on it and try to determine if it will work.
    Could there be a problem with my AEBS, which would explain why i was never able to get my PSC950 to print wirelessly again after that crash on Mapquest?
    Do i need to reinstall the OS?
    I seriously don't think this printer has a wireless mode, otherwise it would be mentioned in the manual. I ran through the menu, tools and preferences (on the printer)--nothing about wireless mode. But why should it need a wireless mode if it's connected by USB cable to the AEBS? Isn't this just a matter of setting up the Mac software to print with Airport?

  • How to print a pdf @ 100% 10cm on screen = 10cm on print

    I cannot seem to print pdfs to any printer wireless or wired at 100%.
    If i put 100% and choose boarderless paper the print out is one size if i choose with boarder it prints out a different size.
    furthermore in both cases the print is not even 100% 10cm measured on screen will not be on either print outs.
    This has been driving me mad! i've played around with a few of the preview settings ie switching between 1 image pixel equals 1 screen pixel and size on screen equals size on printout.
    help

    In testing your symptom to a Canon MG6150 I get exact reproduction. I created a 10cm x 2cm box in InDesign and printed that at 100%. That measued correctly.
    I then exported the document to PDF and opened in Acrobat. With the ruler enabled I could see the box was 10cm x 2cm. And when I printed it with page scaling set to 100% the box was the correct measurement.
    As for the borderless vs border, my understanding of borderless is that it will enlarge the document to fill. Often in the driver settings you can adjust the amount of extension so this would impact your image reproduction.

  • How to print with inverse printing on HP8150

    this work's with:

    But at the end, when printing was done. Adobe does not close automatically.
    Is there an opportunity to automatically close adobe after printing?

    No, Adobe stopped that happening many releases ago, for reasons that I don't understand but they will not change.

    1)  What do I need to do to enable the HP 6310xi to print wirlessly from my home or work wireless networks?  Will connecting a router to the Ethernet port enable wireless printing, for example?  Or, is there some other solution?  If so, exactly what is it?
    If you have the printer already setup as a USB connection, remove the USB cable at this point and uninstall the printer software from the computer. Connect the printer to your wireless router with an ethernet cable and reinstall the software for the appropriate operating system from the driver download page . During the reinstallation be sure to select Through the network as the connection type when prompted. If you want to print from multiple computers on your network you'll need to install the driver selecting Through the network  on each of them. While the printer does not have wireless capability built in, setting up the printer this way will enable you to print from wireless enabled computers on the same network as the printer. Page 29 of the printer's user guide provides detailed instructions for setting up the printer as a network device.
    2)  I downloaded the HP Cloud printing app for the iPad Air from the Apple Apps store.  The idea is to try to print from the iPad Air to the HP 6310xi via a USB port, for example, eventually wirelessly if at all possible (see #1 above).  However, the app does not work at all.  The Apple people say it is supposed to work, but have no solutions, probably due to lack of technical expertise.
    You cannot print from a mobile device (smartphone, tablet) to the printer via a USB port. To print from a mobile device you will need a WiFi capable printer. If you want to be able to print remotely from a mobile device to a printer i.e. when the device and printer are not connected to the same WiFi network, you will need a web enabled wireless printer. This link is to the current range of HP wireless printers, the majority of which are also web enabled (the ePrint logo will indicate this).
    Hope this information is useful to you.

  • How to print with HP Deskjet 2510 with Imac G5 on Tiger ?

    Hi Folks
    I desperately need some helping hand....
    Today my old trusty printer died (HP 1510 print/scan/ copy) and I ran to buy another one because I need to finish some tax paperwork.
    In a mad hurry, I didn't pay any attention to tech specs and I went home with brand new HP DeskJet 2510 All In One device. But !!! : ((
    In my home office I still use Imac G5 with 10.4.11 which is still pretty good comp for office work but I found out that the HP 2510 don't officially support my Imac with Tiger. Only from 10.6 and later.... I know that Imac G5 can't run nothing above 10.5.
    So, is there any way to "force" HP 2510 to somehow recognize my Imac G5? In "about my mac" on USB port, the HP 2510 is visible ....
    Many thanks in advance.
    Cheers,
    Sven

    So, is there any way to "force" HP 2510 to somehow recognize my Imac G5?
    You may be able to get it to print with something like this:
    http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
    although i do not see taht modle on the "Supported Printers" page. You might look again.
    BUT that workabout does not support scanning, only printing.
    I think you need to return the printer and look to either Canon or Brother. Brother especially has been better about suporting older Mac OS versions but you'll still need to get a model number and search the maker's site BEFORE buying to see if they show older drivers for download.
