Landscape printing issue

Is there a way to default Acrobat x to default to printing landscape?  I know we can choose this in the properties of the printer. My users would like to be able to skip this step

I'm running Firefox 27. What I see is the following:
* I opened a tab to '''about:config''' and entered '''orient''' in the search box above the list to filter the display. Printers set to portrait show 0, and those set to landscape show 1.
* When I change from one orientation to the other using the Page Setup dialog, about:config updates immediately for the currently selected printer.
* If I print to a different printer, that printer is switched to the current orientation in the Page Setup dialog. In other words, the current setting in Page Setup overrides any previously saved orientation setting for the second printer.
I do not recall this working differently prior to Firefox 18, but since I generally always use the same printer, I really have no idea. I briefly searched in Bugzilla to see whether I could find an intentional change, but nothing leaped out at me. Your search skills might be better than mine. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/query.cgi

  • Auto adjustment of page orientation causes printing issues with documents that have a page width greater than its page height.

    Hi,
    Since an upgrade from Word 2003 to Word 2010, we are experiencing printing issues with certain
    documents that have a page width greater than its page height.
    In Word 2003, it was no problem to set the page width greater than the page height while setting the page orientation to "portrait".
    In Word 2010, this seems impossible: despite leaving the page orientation to "portrait", if one changes the page width/height as stated,
    Word 2010 automatically adjusts the orientation to "landscape". Resetting the orientation to "portrait" will flip the page's width/heigth settings.
    This behaviour causes printing problems: the page prints out 90° rotated.
    I do not believe this is a printer driver issue: I tried several different printer drivers, and all give the same (bad) result. Setting the printer driver's page orientation settings (before printing) makes no difference, as
    Word 2010 seems to force the page orientation settings.
    Inserting the documents 90° rotated is not an option, since it causes problems with the printing margins.
    This is very annoying, since we have to print official documents of a municipality (driver's licences).
    Is there a workaround for this issue?

  • InDesign CS4 Printing issue

    Hi:
    I use InDesign CS4 in my job as a church office manager. I print bulletins that are usually 3 letter-sized pages, landscape, 2-sided, and newsletters that are 2 11x17 pages, landscape, 2-sided. I'm working in Mac OS 10.5.8.
    Until today, I was using a fairly old HP 8100dn printer. When I upgraded from CS3 to CS4 last summer, I found a strange thing: I couldn't print duplex on letter-sized paper from InDesign. No matter what settings I selected, the printing would not duplex. As a workaround, I had to export everything as a PDF and print from Acrobat, where the duplexing worked fine.
    Weirdly, 11x17 duplex printing worked correctly from InDesign.
    I never solved the problem, but when I posted this on the forum last summer, one responder said that it might have had something to do with the 8100's age and its PostScript Level 2 emulation.
    Just today, my office got a new(er) printer, an HP 8150dn. This one has PostScript Level 3 emulation.
    Precisely the same problem. Letter-sized won't duplex from ID; 11x17 will. Exporting letter-sized documents to PDF and printing from Acrobat is once again the workaround. It's not the worst thing in the world, but it is a bit of a hassle.
    Does anyone have any sort of idea about why this is happening, or better, how it might be fixed?
    Thanks much,
    GT
    PS: ID won't duplex when printing in portrait orientation on letter-sized paper, either.
    Message was edited by: It doesn't work!

    Well, I fixed it, I think… I googled "Printing issues in Mac OS," which led me to install Gutenprint 5.2.5 — whatever the heck that is — and suddenly duplex printing worked in both landscape and portrait on letter-sized paper.
    Unfortunately, and yet not at all surprisingly, I now couldn't print to 11x17 at all. No matter what I did, the printer used Tray 2 (letter), or told me to put custom paper in Tray 1.
    So, as a last-ditch attempt to resolve this before I jumped off the roof, I reset the printer to its factory defaults and deleted all traces of it from Mac OS's Printer and Fax window.
    Then I created one new printer called "8150 (Gutenprint)" using the Gutenprint driver, and one called "8150 (11x17)" using the default HP driver, both using the same IP address. Lo and behold, when I select the one, I can print duplexed on letter size, and when I select the other, I can do the same on 11x17.
    I don't know if this is the sort of thing that a real tech-head would condone, but it finally seems to work. Since I'd never be printing to both printers simultaneously, I figure I can live with this.
    If anyone cares to explain to me in layman's terms what Gutenprint is all about, I'd love to be educated…

  • 10.5.5 and quickbooks (and other printing issues!)

    ever since installing 10.5.5 i've been having printing issues... like many people are reporting, my InDesign prints at about 400%... i can get around that by exporting PDFs and then printing those.
    but, one serious bug i'm having is that my Quickbooks invoices are defaulting to landscape mode in the printer and it can't be changed... even if i export a PDF it's in landscape mode.
    help help..!

    >Looks like the only change that I can tell is that the media selection now makes the forced to Colorsync setting choose the profile (in the driver) that is set for that media in CU.
    I think I was wrong in that statement it looks like 10.5.5 works the same way.

  • Need Landscape printing in Mac OS X

    I see from the release notes for 5.2.3 that landscape printing is not currently working. Any idea when this will work again?

    Trouble printint to a Dell Laser MFP 1815dn.
    Check if the Dell driver is PPC. If it is, and if you installed the first version of Apple's latest Security Update, then that's probably where the issue is, because it broke Rosetta, the software which runs PPC code under SL. Re-install the Sec Update (the problem is fixed in v1.1, which replaced the goofy version on Apple's servers) through Software Update or by downloading it again, then re-install the Dell driver, and try again.
    Apple stuff is great, except for their casual disregard of their customers who want to use any product that is not Apple
    I'm sorry, but that's non-sense. I'm no fan of Apple, but they're no better and no worse than any large corporation of this type. Mostly, they do things which make business sense as they see it -- which is exactly what you'd want, if you had serious money invested in Apple shares -- wouldn't you?
    In this instance, it was up to Dell to release an Intel Mac driver for this printer/scanner, which is, what, 5 or 6 years old? If they didn't, it was probably because they decided it didn't make business sense for them to spend money on developing and testing one. Keep in mind that Dell and Apple and Microsoft and all the rest are in business to make money, not to support every single customer for ever and ever and a day.

  • Lunix PDF - landscape printing

    I am try to print the PDF file using the following command - but the it prints in potrait format. <br /><br />We need ot fix this issue asap. Would greatly appreciate any help. <br /><br />cat <file.pdf> | /opt/Acrobat4/bin/acroread -toPostscript -landscape | lp -d <printer name>

    I have had EXACTLY the same problem printing from the acroread gui. Here's the version information. Adobe Acrobat Reader 8.1.1 on Ubuntu Linux (8.04 Hardy).
    It is usually a problem printing from Google Calendar (because that works out better with landscape.) When I select landscape layout it displays correctly in the preview portion of the print dialog, but then when it comes out it's portrait and of course a portion is truncated.
    I'm printing to a network printer (HP Deskjet 940C) shared out via CUPS from another Ubuntu 8.10 workstation. I'm not convinced that the problem is Acrobat, I've wondered if it may be a printer issue because I've been able to print to another network printer (Lexmark Laser - that is shared out from an Apple Mac) without the same problem.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  • Oracle Reports Printing issue

    I have multiple printing issues with Oracle Reports developed in 10g. Please help me to resolve the issue.
    1. Even though i set ORIENTATION to landscape, it is printing Portrait .
    I have tried the below options

    2. I have tried to pass ORIENTATION=landscape from the Keymap File
    3. I have tried to set ORIENTATION=landscape Under Paper layout Main,Header and Trailer Sections.
    2. Always the report is trying to fit in a single page (Width wise) which is annoying the user. I want to set Scaling instead of fit to a single page. How will i achieve this?
    i was trying to display the reports in SPREADSHEET Format.

  • WHAT APPLE DOES TO FIX THIS PRINTING ISSUES

    Really that is my question?!
    we are cracking our head here to find solutions for our printing problems. What Apple does for this.
    I assume that most of us are making a living doing graphic and printing is vital.
    We have to return to TIGER?!
    Or what.
    I did not see any updates from Apple to try to solve the problems.

    Network printing issues.
    No landscape printing.
    4 printers 2 Brothers, 1 HP, one samsung
    I put all my issues in previous messages, but no solutions have been found.
    And iI can see the problems are growing more and more.
    old posting
    Hi I have read many messages about issues with network printing.
    Here is a new one.
    On any printer and I have tried 4, 2 Brothers, one Hp and one Samsung, all laser printers. I have found in Leopard the right drivers (HL1435, etc.) and the printing is working fine. Except when I am trying to print landscape. I have tried everything but on network will not print Landscape.
    If I connect the printers USB everything is fine.
    Anybody any idea or the same problem.

  • Printing Issues with HP OfficeJet 100 and Windows 8.1

    We use HP OfficeJet 100 mobile printers and have a printing issue.When we print the printer acts as if it is going to print and then prints one blank page.Printer will not print even though it is showing as default printer.Printer will just stop printing in the middle of a document, even in the middle of printing out a page. We are printing via the USB cableWe are using Windows 8.1We are connecting to laptopsWe have been using the HP mobile range of printers since 2004 and have only experienced these issues since we moved the laptops onto Windows 8/8.1 We have:Uninstalled and reinstalled the printer drivers – this fixed this issue for a short while and then it reappeared againCalled HP support and they directed us to the driver support page which had the latest print drivers, uninstalled and reinstalled drivers with them on the phone. This initially fixed the problem and then it returned a few days laterAfter trawling the support forums found directions to change the print processor to “WinPrint” – No effect as the processor was already on this settingDownloaded the HP diagnostic tool – HP Print and Scan Doctor – didn’t fix anything Any further help would be much appreciated.

    Hello there Lawrence, Welcome to the Forums! I hope you enjoy your experience
    I noticed your post about the troubles you are running into when you attempt to install your OJ 6100 printer on your Windows 8.1 laptop. I read all of your attempts and seen you have tried several methods to try and get the installation to complete successfully.
    I would like to make some suggestions that may help. Let me know how it goes!
    1. Check that Internet Explorer pop-up blockers are turned off before downloading the installer
    Internet Explorer Pop-up Blocker: How do I turn off Pop-up Blocker?
    Try to install
    2. If you're running McAfee Live Safe or any other firewall, please temporarily disable the "real time scanning".
    How to disable realtime scans
    Try the install
    3. Go to the start screen (you may also press the windows key + R to open the run box) and type %WINDIR% this should show the windows folder.
    Click on the folder and scroll until you see files. Look for a filed named "HPWINS*.DAT" (the * is for a number that varies) remove this file and try the installation.
    Try the install

  • HP ENVY 100 D410 Printing issues...

    I have an HP ENVY 100 that has recently started having printing issues.  We recently upgraded to Mountain Lion and had no problems in the upgrade nor have we had any other software that we've changed.  The problem seems to be somewhat random and the results are always the same.  When commanded to print the printer acts as if it is running out of ink and then distorts the fonts creating vertical lines on the page and skipping rows creating what almost looks like a bar code. It's most peculiar and the only way I can find to solve the issue is to completely restart both my system and the printer.  Thinking that I had a driver issue on my Mac I used the utility on the printer to update drivers and none were found.  To insure that the problems wasn't isolated to just my machine I tried our laptop as well and it seems to have the same problem.  Has anyone had a similar problem?

    Hi Talon,
    That more liekly related to the software indeed, I would suggest trying the following steps:
    Reset the printing system as listed below:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c01371980
    Open the Applications folder, then Hewlett-Packard and then open the Device Utilities folder, launch the HP Setup Asisistant and follow the steps to reconfigure the device.
    If there is no Hewlett-Packard folder simply re-add the printer by clicking the plus button under Print & Scan.
    Now try printing and follow for any difference.
    If the same persists uninstall any HP Software by following the HP Uninstaller under the Hewlett-Packard folder.
    If there is no Hewlett-Packard folder follow the steps listed under Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8 > I used Apple Software Updates to install the product software below:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02440673&tmp_task=useCatego ry&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&lc=en&product=5157536#N1305
    Download and isntall the latest Lion Software below:

    Once completing the installation click the Apple icon and install any available Software Update.

  • New airport extreme and printer issues

    OK here is the deal
    I have the new airport and a hp psc 750 printer. I have a new macbook which can not print on this printer. It will recognize it thru bonjour but will not install the driver - the odd thing is that I have a pc connected directly and a windows based wireless laptop which both are able to print via this airport. I also have an external hard drive that is connected to the airport. All of the computers are able access this drive. So all appears in order except for the macbook-printer issue. I contacted tech support and they claimed driver issue. Anyone have any ideas - I have updated the most recent drivers for this computer and I was able to install this printer via a usb connection. Thanks

    There have been a few posts about issues with HP printers working or not working as the case may be through the extreme. I can't remember what they say, but a search for HP in this forum may well help you.
    Sorry to be so vague, just thought it might be a start for you.

  • Need help diagnosing cause of printing issue w/ image distortion

    Hello, I'm looking for some expert advice for my print issue with image distortion (see above) on my files once setup and proofed by my printer.
    I have a large PSD background file out of photoshop (CMYK, 170mb psd) that is being placed into an InDesign document. No preflight errors, all correct SWOP cmyk settings, and I keep having issues where images distort on my printers proofs - they seem unable to explain the issue and can't offer any other suggestions beyond ("just try resaving/uploading again" which of course has an added fee with each upload...).
    The files are all fine on our end: on-screen, on our cmyk proofs, and our saved PDFs/packaged files. But everytime our printer opens these they seem to have these distorted image problems - scrambled images (almost as if there was a ghosted transparent image in the distorted area), strange lines (see above, and color distortion (usually greens and pinks, see above).
    Is this an issue with my settings/file formats? Maybe the issue lies on our printers end? I'll keep checking this throughout the day and provide quick answers to anyone who can help me get to the bottom of this.
    Adobe forums have been a huge help in years past so I decided this was by best bet for a resolution from those who know more than myself (or my printer), thanks for taking the time to help!

  • Remote Desktop Connection and printing issues

    Hi, 
    I am using Windows 7 on my desktop and also connected to Windows Server 2008 R2 to run applications in Windows Server. However, I noted there is problem with the printer issues. Sometimes, when I tried to print some documents using applications
    in Windows Server with my local printer in my room connected to desktop, it won't work.
    Moreover, I need to go to Windows Server, Component Service to restart printer spooler so it will work again. This is a pain. 
    I also noticed there is about 30 seconds wait to process any document to print.
    Unlike if I print documents directly from my local desktop computer running Windows 7 and connected to local printer, it only takes seconds to print.
    My desktop is connected to Windows Server 2008 via local area network. I should not expect such a significant delay in printing. 
    I also wonder why printer spooler needs to be restarted when printer is not working.
    Can anyone advise me about this? Can Microsoft looks into this problem and release updates to fix the bug to improve the system?
    Thanks
    Regards,
    Clement

    Hi,
    Please check if you turn on this settings:
    You need to set this up just before you connect. The setting will be saved so that you won't need to change it the next time you connect.
    1. Open Remote Desktop Connection by clicking the Start button, clicking
    All Programs, clicking Accessories, and then clicking
    Remote Desktop Connection.
    2.Click Options, and then click the Local Resources
    tab.
    3.Under Local devices and resources, select the Printers check box.
    4.Click Connect to start the session.
    Make sure that you select your printer in the Print dialog box each time you print.

  • Firmware upgrade?? Printing Issues?? HP Designjet Z6100ps

    I have a Designjet purchase as a demo in 1/2008. The last firmware upgrade that is currently installed is GG-GG_9.0.0.4. I am having printing issues where it prints about 4" of my prints from Apogee Printdrive (which comes from a windows computer) and then wants a restart with the firmware error code. Prints from the MAC are fine and will go straight thru. I have tried multiple firmware upgrades (the latest is GG-GG_11_00_00-2_mvl40-x86-opt_B.dmg) and it is all invalid. After a week of trial and error and trying different upgrades from different computers I am at my whits end. We print to the this printer presslayouts to look at before plating for press. Printing Banners from the MAC is no problem. Anyone have any suggestions. And of course, warranty and service is nill.

    I am linking you to the the Designjet forums below. Please just repost your question their it will have better chance of getting answered.
