I want to set default printer settings to be used only for a specific type of application, certain documents. All other print jobs should use a different default setting for the printer.

I am printing a specific document from a web based application. This document need to be printed in landscape. So I would like to set the default settings for this specific printer to landscape. But for all other printers it should be portrait. But this does not seem to work. The browser picks the settings from the standard/default printer and uses this for all print jobs.

In the hour since you have registered you have posted seven messages, none of which contain any useful information that would allow someone here to help you. Please read this post then provide some details in a new thread. What printer model? What operating system? How is the printer connected - USB, wired LAN, Wireless LAN, bluetooth? What is the problem you are having (with the printer...)?

Connected wirelessly to Canon printer MX340. Duplex printing option is grayed out for me but not on my daughter's non-Mac laptop or husband's PC which is connected to the printer. Mine has two-sided option available at the Apple store. Any ideas?

We use a Canon MX340 series printer/fax/scanner. My husband has his PC hooked to it and my daughter prints wirelessly from it with no problem with her non-Mac laptop. I have trouble printing. Often it does not print and I have to delete the job from the queue. Other times it will print OK but two-sided printing is always grayed out in my printing options. When I took it to the Apple store and printed on their network (selecting their printer) the two-sided option was available. Makes me think the printer is set up wrong, but I am not certain. A fw times at home when trying to print I got an error message about incompatible fonts, but it printed anyway after deleting the job and starting over. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks

OK, just an update.
Two years into this, I still find I can only do full duplex printing by using Windows XP running inside of VMWare. I've had occasional, ephemeral luck with duplex printing, but nothing long lasting.
I've tried this in Tiger and Leopard (now at 10.5.6), and I've had this issue with Canon printers MP780 iP4300 and MP610, direct connected to my Core2Duo 17" MBP. I also have this issue when printing over a network, but that's a much harder problem to solve.
Currently, this is my #1 most pressing issue for my Mac, because not being able to print from a computer when you print a lot is a really big drag, and using VMWare all the time is also a really big drag. Other people posting seem to be able to print in Duplex using the very same printers. What could be wrong with my MBP? I see the duplex box option, but most of the time it's grayed out as if my printer doesn't support duplex.
I've tried direct selecting printer drivers from the system preferences, but nothing seems to have an effect. And this is off of a clean Leopard install.
My wife now has similar problems with her new MBP - the Canon print drivers (CUSP & non CUSP) aren't allowing the Duplex box to be checked.
I am willing to pay good money to anyone who thinks they can fix this problem.
Thank you,

HP Photosmart 7510 e-ALL-IN-One Series pages are blank coming out of the printer

Printed pages are either blank or streaked. I have cleaned the print heads (clearning levels 1 & 2) and installed new HP cartridges but issue persits. This occours whether I print in blk&white or color. It may print one or two good pages until it starts to streak badly or produce blank pages. I then clean the print heads (levels 1 & 2) and sometimes it works again for a couple of pages.

HT3669 Hi I have a Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer. This works with my Windows-based Toshiba laptop but not with my i-Mac. Can someone please advise me how I get the printer to work with my i-Mac? I have installed it but documents don't print. Thanks

Hi I have a Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer. This works with my Windows-based Toshiba laptop but not with my i-Mac. I have the latest (Mountain Lion 10.8.2) OS-X software.
I have installed the printer using 'System Preferences' on my i-Mac and it appears on the list of available printers but documents that I create just don't print.
Can someone please advise me how I get the Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer to work with my i-Mac?
Thanks, John Lee

Looking at the Konica web site for the PagePro 1300W, I saw the following note.
Please note: This printer is designed to be used in computer operating systems running MS Windows only. Operating systems such as UNIX, Macintosh, or Linux are not supported nor do we have workaround drivers available. Older MS Windows versions, such as Windows 3.1/95/98[pre-SE] and NT 3.51/4.0, are not supported.
So KM are not going to help you. But the LinuxFoundation does provide a workaround that should allow you to print. Have a look at this web page. You will need to install all three packages as per the instructions from that page.

Launching the printing of a PDF document, all other programs remain locked

After opening a PDF file with Acrodat Reader, when I click for printing the document, my notebook (window vista) remains blocked for two minutes.
During that time all other programs cannot be run: for example I cannot even run the Task Manager.
I currently use Acrobat Reader 9.4 but I noticed the same problem also with previous releases.
Do you know if this behaviour is normal or I have some setup problem, or virus, or what else?
Thanks a lot.

Hi Duncan,
Please confirm if you Are using Acrobat.com online services or Acrobat software?

Exporting sound for dvd studio 4. Studio 4 is only accepting ac3, saying bit rate too high in ALL other formats. However, aa3 auto levels the sound, which is not wanted, and it also drops the volume by about 40%, also not wanted. How do I get around this.

I have successfully used various formats and bit rates of sound in DVD Pro 4 with no problems, AIFF, WAVE, (obviously preferable as they give a good quality of sound as intended). However, of late, DVD Pro 4 refuses AIFF, WAVE, and anything higher than the lowest ac3 bit rate/format. This is rendering an aweful sound, auto volume leveled - which gives a very unprofessional fluctuation in volume and making a ionsense of careful sound editing. It also renders the volume at about 30% - 40% lower than the original master requiring huge increase in amplifier volume settings to get a decent volume.I have tried every format and bit rate, but FCP and DVD Pro 4 will only accept the lowest ac3 setting.
I have customers awaiting video of their concerts, can not deliver with this sound issue.
very much appreciate some assistance here.

I suggest posting this in the Final Cut Studio forum where regular users of DVDSP are more likely to see your post and respond. When you do, I would expect someone will ask why you arent using Compressor in your workflow…)
Good luck.

Using spotlight, I was able to see where a document of folder was located. Now, I see a image of the document but have no idea where it is located. Is this a setting I change? I really don't need to see or open the docs and folders, I just need to locate

Using an older operating system, when I used spotlight for a serch I was able to see where the document or folder is located.
Now, I see an image thats nice, but I must open it it find out where it is stored. Perhaps this is a setting change?
I search not always to open, but just to see where like files are stored.

Ok sorry. Yes it doesn't anymore but I think you can right click on the entry in the SL search and select either Get Info or Open in Finder and then it will display the location of that file. I don't use spotlight as I think it is @^%$&. I use Easyfind.
Apple doesn't think the user needs to know the path of their files so they removed that feature of spotlight.

My new iPad (3rd generation) will not remember wi-fi passwords. It is set up to ask to join networks. It remembers my password at home but forgets all others if it disconnects for more than a few minutes. Frustrating!

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

InDesign Print Settings - how to

Why are Epson WF7520 printed documents all wrong - colors just don't match my InDesign layout.
The printer copied documents ok but did not print ok. So printing program which was InDesign must be at fault.
The InDesign print settings must be at fault. How to fix"

Well uuhhhmm...it's really not so simple as "so the application must be at fault." Color matching in print is an intricate science containing many variables. To really get troubleshooting help here, you'll have to provide just about all the details regarding the elements of your design, their composition, color models, color profiles, inks used, etc. Furthermore, the act of printing directly from InDesign may introduce some complications in itself. It's likely you'll get suggestions that exporting to PDF and printing that is one way to take more control over the process. And, no matter what, your printed output is never going to look exactly like what you see on your screen.

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.

Printer Settings dialog missing when printing to another Mac with Bonjour

I want Photoshop to manage my color settings rather than my Epson 4800 or Epson SPRX 580 printers, so in the print dialog box I select the "Printer Color Management" tab and set color adjustments to the OFF position. This works fine as long as the printer is connected directly to my MacBook or my MacBook Pro. But if I try to send a job on my MacBook Pro via bonjour to either of the printers when it is connected to my MacBook, the print dialog is missing the choices of "Printer Color Management", "Printer Settings", etc.
All that is available are things like "Layout, Cover Page, Scheduler, Summary." The "Printer Settings, Color Management" options only show up on either computer when connected directly to the printer.
Is there a way to get those other choices (Printer Settings, Color Management) when printing over a bonjour network?
I'm on Mac OS 10.5.6 on the MacBook Pro and Mac OS 10.4.10 on the MacBook. I have downloaded all the driver updates from Epson and deleted and added the printers again with the same result.

HP must have release a driver update because we no longer encounter the problem.

Change the default margin settings for the MS word!

Hi All,
BI Publisher version:latest 10.1.3.4
DB:10.2.0.4
Oracle Apps:12.0.6
OS:AIX
We are facing an issue of which description is as below:
RTF output is being uploaded through "XML Publisher" Responsibility.
3.1.9 Header and Footer Margin from Edge Not Preserved in RTF Output
This issue applies to Versions 10.1.3.3, 10.1.3.3.1, 10.1.3.3.2, 10.1.3.3.3, 10.1.3.4, and 10.1.3.4.1.
Microsoft Word provides a Page Setup option for specifying the margin for the headers and footers from the edge of the page. This option is available by choosing the File menu, then Page Setup, then the Margins tab, and the From edge box. This margin setting is not retained when the output format is RTF. The output is created with the default margin settings instead. The margin settings do work correctly for other output formats such as HTML, PDF, and Excel.
So, the "default setting" mentioned here is around 1/2 inch for MS Word which is getting added in the output, even if the margin in template is zero.
Expected output:
So what we need to do is -
1. Check the MS word installation on the application server
2. Change this default margin setting as top and bottom 0 on the server in the MS word page setup. (I can give you steps to do this in word if required)
We have tried setting this margin to 0 on client side and generating the output and it makes no difference, so it must be coming from the server.
We need to know how could we modify the settings and need to know te source and Check the MS word installation on the application server?
Could anyone please share such an issue faced before!
Thanks for your time!
Regards,

Hi All,
Moreover,
Our understanding about the RTF output is this -
When we generate an RTF report output from Oracle EBS, the word document that is generated is with the settings of MS word that is installed on application server.
This understanding could be wrong as we have never faced such situation before! We have come to this conclusion because the default settings that we do on client machine do not work.
And as per the documentation of BI publisher the RTF should always be generated with the default settings of MS word.
So what you could help us with is this -
1. See if the MS word application is installed on application server ( if you think this is not application server, but any other server then please check there!)
2. Change the default margin settings for the MS word.
Regards,

Why do I have to change printer settings when using Photoshop tiff?

I'm creating a tithe envolope for my church. The text portions were created in the psd using the text tool of course. But, for our church logo, I used a 300 dip tiff, scaled and positioned it at the top left part of the layout. This is all being done inside a life-size area using guide lines to simulate the edges of the envelope. Then I save the entire thing out from Photosop as a tiff. I created a MS Word doc and used Insert>Picture to place the tiff at a place in the Word doc that puts it in the right location when envelopes are loaded into the laserjet printer.
Here's the glitch. If I let the Word doc print at it's default resolution of 300 dpi, the church logo shows up looking very ragged/pixelated. Only by going through the hassle of resetting the printer properties each time to 600 dpi do I get a smooth, clean output. What's going on?

Sounds like an issue with the print driver not retaining previous settings to me.
Keep in mind that printer settings are saved with some kinds of documents (e.g., PSD files). I'm not sure if that's the case with a TIFF, but if so, make sure you save the TIFF file after you print so the settings will be available next time you print it.
There is a known issue with some drivers where you have to go through a few extra steps to get them to retain the settings you make in the Photoshop dialog, but I don't see how that might apply here. To see if it does, do the following:
File - Print.
In the Photoshop print dialog, make whatever settings you like.
Click the [ Print Settings... ] Button, and exit the print driver dialog with [ OK ].
Click [ Print ].
Save and Close your document.
Open the document again.
File - Print.
Click the [ Print Settings... ] button.
Is your dpi preference remembered?
