Insert Symbol, finding Pages Help Menu and Set Default Print Size

I'm having a hard time doing the following:
1. Inserting a vertical line that I used to find in Word by going to Insert > Symbol
2. Preventing Pages from defaulting to #10 Letter (which I used recently) but seems to be the default size (but not the default Pulldown page type for some weird reason). I guess I'm just not sure how this is all working.
3. Where do I go for the Program's Help Menu in Mac? I seem to go to the Help Pulldown at the end but when I type in a word I seem to get answers for Mac as a whole and not just for Pages, which is what I want.
TIA.

On French keyboards, we get it with option + shift + l
It would be a good idea to enter the System's Preferences Pane entitled "Language and Text"
Then trigger the newly installed menu item in the menu bar.

Set Default Printer based on user setting using Powershell script

Hi
I would like to create a script that runs on user log off and captures the default printer (set manually by the user) and then another script to reapply the settings (saved upon log off) when the user logs back in.
This is because local printers are set as default printer (PDF Creator Programs) when we all use Network Printers so this means a user has to set default printer to the network printer all the time.
I have found this script to start with:
$Printer = Get-WmiObject -namespace root\cimv2 -Query “select * from Win32_Printer Where Default = TRUE” -Impersonation 3 | select name | out-file C:\temp\Printer.txt
But the out file looks like this:
name
\\PrinterserverName\Accounts01
Which I dont see how it can be used on another script plus there are spaces after\Account01
Any Ideas please?

Hi Maelito,
According to your description, you want to export the default printer name to text file, then read this printer name from text file and set the default printer via Powershell:
#save printer name to text file
Get-WmiObject -namespace root\cimv2 -Query “select * from Win32_Printer Where Default = TRUE” -Impersonation 3 | select -ExpandProperty name | out-file C:\temp\Printer.txt
# read printer name from text file and set default printer
$name=get-content C:\temp\Printer.txt
(Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Printer -Filter "Name='$name'").SetDefaultPrinter()
If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.
Best Regards,

You cannot update to iOS 5, it's no longer an available. You can only update to the latsest available iOS for your device. For the iPhone 4 that's iOS 6.0.1. The option you are looking for to update over-the-air requires iOS 5 or later. With iOS 4 you need to use iTunes on a Mac or PC to update the iOS. Follow the instructions on the Support Page you linked from.

Do you have MacKeeper installed? If so, you need to uninstall it. There is a known issue where MacKeeper disables all the sharing functions from the new iMovie.

Group Policy - Computer Startup Scripts - Add/Set Default printer

Good Morning.
Let's say we have 2 offices, A and B, and only 1 user. The user is using Roaming Profiles. Each office has its own printer.
What I am trying to do, is make a Startup script that is specific to the COMPUTER being logged into so when any user logs into that computer, they get the printer in that office defined and set as default.
I am able to do this successfully with my script but ONLY if i have the script be on the USER side of GP (i.e. in the Logon script section)
That is great that that is working however, when my user goes to Office B, they still get mapped to Office A's printer if I use that method.
So I figured I could just modify my GP and run the same script from the STARTUP section of the computer, rather than the LOGON section of the user. It does not work.
Here is my script:
Set WRFCUNetwork = CreateObject("Wscript.Network")
PrinterPath = "\\fileserver\MAINTELLER"
PrinterDriver = "PrinterDriver"
WRFCUNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection PrinterPath, PrinterDriver
WRFCUNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\fileserver\MAINTELLER"
This is where I Have the script placed:
     Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Scripts(Startup/Shutdown)
Once i'm in there, I double click Startup, click Add, and select my script which is named:
     MainPrinterSetup.vbs
I have this GP applied to ONE OU, and that OU has ONE computer in it (my test computer)
I login with a brand new user called "testuser" (creative, huh?) and basically nothing happens
except they log in and have some Microsoft Document Image Writer printer set as default (which by the way sure does slow the PC down to the point of it almost being broke if anyone actually tries to print to that by accident)
No Main Teller Printer, no anything.
The strangest part about this is, if i apply this script to the user LOGON scripts, it works fine, the printer is there, and is set as default. (but see above why that wont work for my situation)
So obviously the script works fine, but I guess i'm missing something when it comes to applying GP's to Computers rather than Users.
Can anyone shed some light as to why the script is not running (i'm guessing the script isn't even attempting to run, rather than failing, but i have no way to know that)
Thank you in advance!!

EDIT: Here are the PC's info that i'm working on:
     Server: Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition (where my GP's are created and managed with AD)
     Target PC: Windows XP Professional SP3
EDIT #2: I manually navigated to the Script file after logging in and "opened" it and it added and set the default printer no problem. the issue is definately with the script running at startup.

I wanted to clarify a few things:
1. While it is true that printer connections are usually per user, it is definitely possible to create "global printers". There are a number of ways to do this, but two methods that come to mind are using:
a. "Rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry" option with the "/ga" switch. The "/ga" switch is the key here since it allows you to deploy printers "per machine" instead of "per user". More information
about this is available at:
http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/NetPrinterAllUsers.htm
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee624057%28WS.10%29.aspx
http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/Logon/logon_printer_computer.htm
http://www.robvanderwoude.com/2kprintcontrol.php
b. The Print Management console that is available in Windows 2003 R2 and higher can help you deploy printers "per machine" in addition to "per user". More information about this is available at:
http://www.czsolution.com/print-management/print-management/print-management-console.htm#DeployingPrintersByGroupPolicy
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753109%28WS.10%29.aspx
2. As Guy mentioned, Group Policy Preferences can help set the default printer. But there is another way to accomplish this. The problem with the computer startup portion is that it runs before the user logs in. And applying this script
in the login script section would not work per computer unless you used loopback processing. So another way to do this is to place a script that sets the default printer into the "All Users" startup folder. Items in the "All Users"
startup folder run for any user that logs into the computer, but it runs in the user's context. So, this script would effectively set the default printer on a "per machine" basis. The script method is a cruder way to approach the problem,
but it will help get the job done. Here are some resources on setting the default printer via script:

How to set default Print layout in SDK!

Hi All
In Form Delivery (ID=140) I want to Add Button to set default print layout by Addon.
Please let me know the interface and the table to do it. Thanks

Hi Tao,
there's a vb6 sample in the DIAPI documentation
Sets the specified report layout as default
Dim oCmpSrv As SAPbobsCOM.CompanyService
Dim oReportLayoutService As ReportLayoutsService
Dim oDefaultReportParams As DefaultReportParams
'get company service
oCmpSrv = oCompany.GetCompanyService
'get report layout service
oReportLayoutService = oCmpSrv.GetBusinessService(ServiceTypes.ReportLayoutsService)
'get report layout params
oDefaultReportParams = oReportLayoutService.GetDataInterface(ReportLayoutsServiceDataInterfaces.rlsdiDefaultReportParams)
'set the report layout code
oDefaultReportParams.LayoutCode = "POR20005"
'set the report code
'the report code is the document type code (e.g. POR2=PurchaseOrder)
oDefaultReportParams.ReportCode = "POR2"
'set the user code
oDefaultReportParams.UserID = 1
'delete the report layout
oReportLayoutService.SetDefaultReport(oDefaultReportParams)
i hope it helps you

Setting default printer with printers deployed via print management

Would like to set default printer on a windows 7 workstation to a printer deployed through group policy using print management. However whenever machine reboots the defualt changes to a local printer XPS or something else.
HOw can I set the default printer to one of the deployed printers?

Even though this is a "machine" connection, the connection is created in each users security context. Default printers are tied to user profiles and settings.
I'm sure what is happening is the connection is getting created after the system sets a default or the network path is not yet available when the default printer is set.
You can use prnmngr.vbs to get and set the default. If get returns XPS printer, then set can change to one of the valid connections.

How can I set default printer options on an iMac for an HP pro 8500 printer to print in draft mode?

How can I set default printer options on an iMac for an HP pro 8500 printer to print in draft mode?

When you use the Canon driver, the 2 sided printing is set in a different location. There is an entire menu dedicated to it (at least on my mx892). The printer dialog box has a menu selector in the middle of the screen (I think it says "layout" by default). If you click on it, you will see the duplexing options at the bottom. Much more flexibility than the single checkbox available with "airprint". The interface is unusual (at least for me) but you can pre-set up many different configurations (Fast Duplex, Fine Single-sided, B&W, Photo, etc etc.)

I set my printing size on PS Elements 10 for a certain size, but it prints 1/4 inch larger?

I set my printing size on PS Elements 10 for a certain size, but it prints 1/4 inch larger?

In addition of Hatstead suggestion my Suggestions are following:
1. From your Printer's Preferences uncheck the Borderless check box (if checked already).
2. After launching the Print dialog, click on More Option button, then under Printing choice tab make sure that Border section has all check box unchecked.
3. Uncheck the "Crop to Fit" check box if it is checked.

Does Leopard have a FAX? I read the Help menu and....

About the FAX capabilities in Leopard: The Help menu for the FAX says: “Requirements:
- Mac OS X 10.1.3 or later, including Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar)”
It says JAGUAR. Does this mean that there is no FAX for Leopard? This may sound odd to you, but I have NEVER used a computer FAX and am exploring this possibility since my stand-alone FAX won't work.

This seemed to work for me, up until the point you need a modem that is:
From the 10.5 finder help menu:
You can fax files directly from your computer to any fax machine or computer that’s set up to receive faxes. If your computer has a modem connected to a phone line, it’s automatically configured to send faxes.
To send a fax:
Choose File > Print, and then choose Fax PDF from the PDF pop-up menu.
Type the fax number in the To field, or click the Address Book button to the right of the To field to select a number.
If you want to paste a number into the To field and the Edit > Paste command isn’t available, hold down the Control key as you click the To field and choose Paste from the menu that appears.
If your phone system requires you to dial a prefix for an outside line, type it in the Dialing Prefix field.
If you want to include a cover page, select “Use Cover page” and enter a subject and message.
Make sure the correct fax device is selected from the Printer pop-up menu.
To change your options, choose the option category from the print options pop-up menu.
For example, to choose your modem’s behavior when faxing, choose Fax Modem. You can choose whether to dial with touch tones or pulse tones, whether to listen to the modem as it dials, and whether to wait for a steady dial tone before dialing.
Click Fax.
The fax is sent as soon as your modem is available. For example, if you’re using your modem to connect to the Internet, the fax is sent after you disconnect from your Internet service provider.
The top of every page has a header that contains the date and time the fax was sent, a page number, and the fax number of the sender (from Print & Fax Preferences.)
If you include a cover page, it has a heading that contains fax’s recipient (from the To field in the Print dialog), the fax’s sender (the name of the logged-in user), the date and time the fax was sent, the subject line (from the Subject field in the Print dialog), and the number of pages in the fax not including the cover page. The body of the cover page is the Message field in the Print dialog.
If you have a set of options that you frequently use, you can save it as a “preset.” After you set your options, choose Save As from the Presets pop-up menu. To use this set of options when faxing another document, choose its name from the Presets pop-up menu.
