HP Printer default scale settings always reset to 10%

Every time I hit the print button on my Mac (I have an HP PSC 1210 all-in-one printer) the document prints at 10%. I know, I have to go into page set up and when i do that, the scale is always at 10% so I have to change the scale to 100%.
My question is, why is it not automatically set at 100% anymore? And how can I make the print scale default to 100% so I don't have to go into page set up everytime I want to print

Click on [YOUR_PRINTER], then, from the Administration menu, choose "Set Default Options". The options under "General" vary depending on the printer. Are any relevant to your issue?
OK, this feels like we're on the right track!
The default paper size is set to US Letter... which is perfect.
Then, I went to http://127.0.0.1:631/printers/ but I didn't see anything about paper scale when I clicked on all the tabes under "Set Default Options", including "General". I did try to click on "Default Options" button which asked me for a username and password but I'm not quite sure what would even be nor how to even find them because I have never been to that page before...

  • The Klopfgeist channel settings always reset to default

    G4 Dual 1Ghz Quicksilver Mac OS X (10.3.9)
    I made a special tone setting for Klopfgeist (Inst 128), and I like it sent to its own output (output 3 panned hard left). It is no problem to store my setting in Klopfgeist, but every time I open any song, all settings are back to their default and I must manually select my tone setting and re assign my output. I tried to "save channel strip" but no no avail. It would be convinient, to say the least, if my settings were automatically recalled. If I put Klopfgeist on any other channel, the settings are retained, just not on inst 128, where I really need it. Anyone??

  • Donwload settings always reset after reboot firefox

    as long as I restart my firefox4, the download settings automatic switch to always ask the place I want to save, not save file to a specific folder I specified.

    Hi...
    Try Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    If that didn't help, since your Mac was purchasd last October, it must be running Lion v10.7 and it's still under the one year warranty.
    Try using Lion Recovery to repair the startup disk or reinstall the Mac OS X.
    If nothing above helped, take your Mac to an Apple store or Apple certified repair provider.

  • Settings always reset after restart! Help please????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    Basically I bought an iMac last October, 21", 4GB standard manufactured settings ram etc. After a few weeks every time I quit an application and go back on it, it returns to its old settings. Whenever I remove a bookmark from the toolbar on Safari and restart it, it returns to the old settings, when ever I restart the computer the dock and background changes towards its original settings. This is starting to get really annoying, and I don't know what to do and I have installed all available updates. Is an issue like this covered in a warranty and do you guys have any ideas on what I should do?

  • Settings being reset every time

    I am running PPro CS4 on a mac and every time I start it up it looks like all the settings I'd changed last time i was in it (keyboard shortcuts, settings to how project bins should open, how the timeline should scrub etc.) are reverting back to the defaults. I thought that it might be that the settings always reset when you started a new project, but this is happening even when I reopen the previous project. Is anybody else seing this?
    I am using PPro in an administrator level account (the main account that the computer starts up in). I figure it must be a file permissions issue or a PPro bug. ButI'm not sure how to find out which.

    I don't know where it is in the MAC directory structure, but if you search the forum for
    info about the preferences files you should be able to find it.
    Before you open Premiere, Make a backup of the preferences file or just move it someplace else and then open Premiere. This should force the program to create a new preferences file and should work properly after you've reset your choices.

  • Default Apps Settings Not Staying Set

    I have noticed that my default application settings keep resetting themselves each time I reboot. My default browser, mail app, EVERYTHING... without fail. Does anyone have a clue as to what would cause this to happen?

    Try resetting the Launch Services database.
    It contains that info, and may be corrupt.
    Open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, copy the following text in, and press return.
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.fram ework/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user

  • HT204135 My printer always defaults to "Scale = 150%" and prints oversized. I always have to set the scale back to "100%". Is there any way to change this default setting?

    Hi
    My osX Lion loaded iMac always prints with a default "scale" of "150%" and consequently won't print anything on a single page. I always have to go into "Printer Settings" and change it to "100%" to print properly. Is there any way to set this up to default at "100%"?
    Thanks!

    Hi,  just a note that might help.  I notice in baltwo's screen shot of the print dialog, that the Preset titled "Plain paper, best" is selected.
    anderdan33316, if you have selected a preset, and that preset was created with the "Scale" set to "150%".  I suspect your issue is related to this.
    for a possible solution,
    1. in Safari, open the Print dialog (by cmd-p, or choosing "Print..." from the File menu, either way works).
      2. in the dialog, manually set the Scale to 100%
      3. in the "Presets:" pull-down menu, select "Save Current Settings as Preset..."
      4. enter a label that is meaningful to you, such as "Standard", "Basic", "Default" - it can be modified later
      5. print that page from that dialog, and the customized Preset will be one of your choices until you decide to delete it.
    hope this helps,
    Roy

  • Not able save printer defaults as the scale is always 150%

    All my printers default to a scale of 150%. Whatever i do will not save and changes any printer settings either the defaults or custom settings. Can anyone help me please.

    >>As Pahu says, make sure you are looking in ~/Library/Preferences. The printing files have the com.apple.print prefix.
    When I opened a doscument in Preview it defaulted to 97%. When I make changes and save as a preset the changes are not saved. When I go to use the saved preset it has the system default values not my choices.
    >>Scale is a page format attribute and the saved setting will not be used while printing. This has always been true, the same as Orientation and Paper Size.
    TextEdit does have the same selection layout.
    >>What happens if, in TextEdit, you select Page Setup, set the scale to 100% and then select Settings->Save as Default? Does 100% appear in the Scalle field in the other apps?
    The file changed when you do this is com.apple.print.PrintingPrefs.

  • Reset hp envy 4500 printer to default factory settings

    The printer indicates that the cartridges are not suitable for this printer. That is strange, because both cartridges are original HP cartridges. I'm looking for a way to reset the printer to the default factory settings, but I can't find a way to do this neither in the manual nor on the printer itself. Does anyone have a suggestion? Thank you very much.

    did you find a way to resolve this? i am having the same error message and when i called for support, they said i just needed to buy a new printer.  Because of this error message blocking the entire screen, I cannot reset anything or access the main menu. It seems like it's an issue that needs to be fixed manually by taking the printer apart simply because there is not an emergency trick mentioned by staff or by manual that I have found. Any help besides replacing the idiot box all together?

  • Scale won't reset to 100 percent in print window

    How do I get the scale to change and remain at the selected setting in the print window?
    On one of our User accounts it is stuck at 300%.
    I can change it for one printing but when the print window is opened again the scale reverts to 300%.
    On all other User accounts it is at 100%.
    Thanks, Danty

    I discovered how to solve the problem.
    There is a reset option for the printing system in Systems Preferences.
    I followed the steps and after re-choosing the printer I wanted as the default the scale reverted to 100%.
    And -- I was able to restrict the reset to just the one User Account that was having trouble with scale.
    All the other User Accounts remained unaffected with all the printing preferences and settings unchanged.

  • HOW DO I CHANGE MY PRINT SETTINGS SO THAT THEY STAY SET TO MY PRINTER DEFAULTS?????????????????????????????????????????

    This one issue is probably the one thing that would make me abandon Firefox FOREVER (besides the problems with Flash). If I change print settings for ONE COPY I have nothing but HELL trying to get my print settings BACK to my PRINTER defaults. Why can't Firefox be like the REST of the computer world and have the PRINTER DEFAULTS override Firefox?????
    I made a change yesterday and I have NOT been able to get it changed BACK to the defaults.
    Is thois too complicated?

  • How can I ensure that Printing Defaults are reset on the clients?

    Hi,
    we have a setup with a Windows Server 2008 print cluster and a mix of Windows XP and Windows 7 clients. On all clients the users are local admins.
    When the install a new print queue the Printing Preferences at the client is set to the "correct" values, meaning the values that we have set on the server. But if they change the settings (e.g. from Black/White to Colour) the setting is kept even after
    the application is closed.
    Either things have changed over time or the issue is caused by letting the users be local admins, but I beleive that the settings where previously set back to defaults once the application, from where the settings where changed, was closed.
    Can someone please tell me how to ensure that users do get the servers Printing Default forced on to them and that settings changed within an application is lost when closing the application?
    Thanks for your help - it is much appreciated!
    Best regards
    David

    I see it's a quite old post but still without an answer.
    What follows it's not exactly what David asked for (application-aware reset of printing defaults).
    I ended up here searching for a way to refresh printing defaults on clients without having users to remove/add printers manually. I hope this helps someone.
    A viable solution might be to create a login vbs script deleting -> adding all network printers currently installed on the user profile. Default printer setting is not affected.
    Tested on Windows 7 x64 clients and 2008 R2 print server.
    strComputer = "."
    Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
    Set colPrinters = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * From Win32_Printer")
    For Each objPrinter in colPrinters
    If InStr(objPrinter.DeviceID, "\\") = 1 Then
    UNCPrinter = objPrinter.DeviceID
    objPrinter.Delete_
    Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
    WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection UNCPrinter
    End If

  • I use a HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909a printer and my Safari always put 150% size as default. Wy not 100%?

    I have a MacBook (the white one) and use a HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909a printer and my Safari always put 150% size as default. Wy not 100%?
    When I use Firefox the default size is 100%. When I use Pages, also runs good (100%). Only in Safari, and Mail too, appears 150% as the default size.
    How can I change it to 100% in both?
    THOMAS

    Hi,
    The problem seems to lie in the installer, which has an unusual bad behaviour.  The installer puts the 8500 a909a in the list of USB  bootable devices.  (Not good!!!)
    When the printer is disconnected it isn't a problem.  When the printer is connected the computer tries to boot from the printer and the computer hangs.
    When I found the printer in the BIOS list of USB bootable devices I DISABLED that item in that list. Then it booted normally.
    But now the BIOS takes an extra 30 seconds or so but boot up seems to be preceeding normally.
    The guys on the CHAT and PHONE lines didn't even imagine the installer might be a problem so their advice was useless. They were blaming the computer.  More importanly, they didn't have a way to escalate the problem. They  had no capacity to respond in a flexible manner. It was like dealing with unhelpful staff in the county clerk's office.

  • Excel 2010 ignores print server's default color settings.

    Excel 2010 ignores print server's default color settings.
    Our Setup:
    Printers are hosted on Server 2008 R2 Print Server. 
    Two local printers are created on the print server for each Xerox MFP that we have.   Example: Xerox MFP (B&W) - Default settings are set to print black and white only.    Xerox MFP
    (Color) - Default settings are set to print color.     So for every MFP we have two printers are created.
    Both variations of the network printers are deployed to the users with the Black and White version being the default.    If a user needs to print something in color, they select the Color version of the MFP printer.   This
    helps us save on color toner costs. 
    This works great for web applications, Microsoft Word, Adobe Reader, and other applications.   But, it doesn't seem to work in Microsoft Excel 2007 or 2010.   Whatever the default printer is of the two versions that are deployed,
    excel seems to hold onto those printer settings.
    Example: If your default printer is Xerox MFP (B&W), when you select Xerox MFP (Color), it still retains the Black and White selection in the printer properties.  However, if you select a completely different model printer such
    as Fax, and then go to  Xerox MFP (Color), it will pick up the necessary default color settings.
    If I install the printers locally on the user's PC/Computer, it works perfectly.   However, it doesn't work when they are utilizing the print server's printers.
    Things that I have tried:
    Different drivers for Xerox.  Global, PS, PCL.
    Different brands of printers.   Still experience the same issue.
    Different port names.  
    Different protocols, raw versus LPR.
    Different versions of excel, 2007 and 2010.
    Looked through group policy to see if I could force it. 
    Checked the excel sheet settings, black and white only was not selected.
    Tried most of the printer properties settings. 
    Created a Server 2012 print server and experienced the same result. 
    Xerox's custom configuration file editor.
    *Something to note, if I have the black and white version utilize PostScript Drivers and the color version utilize PCL driver, it correctly loads the color settings.   However, if you utilize Postscript for both versions, it doesn't. 
    I have to vary the print drivers.  Ideally, I don't want to have to do this because I want consistency between prints.

    Hi,
    Make sure you have the latest printer drivers - go to the manufacture's website, download and install if necessary.

  • PDF printing "Internal display" settings 'default'

    Hi All,
    I'm having problems PDF printing web applications made in WAD 7.0.
    We have created a button triggering the EXPORT command and left everything set to 'default'.
    Internal display = 'default', Data binding = 'default'.
    All our 7.0 web templates contain text elements (title, etc.), an INFO_FIELD_ITEM block (with tray), a FILTER_PANE_ITEM (with tray), CONDITIONS_LIST_ITEM (with tray), EXCEPTIONS_LIST_ITEM (with tray) and one or more ANALYSIS_ITEM and CHART_ITEM (all with tray).
    Everything except the FILTER_PANE_ITEM end up in the PDF, however not all present the tray. Only the conditions and exceptions have a tray in the PDF. Since the tray contains the name of what the it represents underneath, especially the analysis and chart item need to have the tray displayed.
    How can I switch this on generically (not for each report individually)?
    I don't know which Internal Display webtemplate is chosen when it's set to 'default'. It's not 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN_EXPORT, because if I set the Internal Display to 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN_EXPORT, my output changes completely (and not for the better).
    Can I find the 'default' Internal Display somewhere in the system? SPRO? I'd like to adjust the default value to always display a tray.
    Any input would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Eduard

    Thanks Arun, but Excel export is not the issue.
    All the info fields (title, user, date, webtemplate name, etc.) we can print and that's all fine. But... We need the tray of the ANALYSIS_ITEM and CHART_ITEM to be visible. The tray contains the name of the query (DP1, DP2, etc.) and we'd like to see it.
    Now, if a webtemplate has more than one chart, the PDF will not tell you which chart is which. The title of the tray is automatically filled in the WAD (with the query name) and we don't want to manually add titles to all chart and graph items. We'd have to do this for all webtemplates, which should be necessary.
    Besides, the conditions and exceptions items dó show a tray. Why not for the ANALYSIS_ITEM and CHART_ITEM?
    So basically, what I'd like to know is: Where I can find which "Internal Display" webtemplate is used as 'default' and how I can edit it? I know that it isn't 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN_EXPORT, so which one is it then?
    Eduard
