Need to make Tray 2 the default on Laserjet 300 color mfp

I have installed a new laserjet 300 color mfp in our office and added an optional tray 3. We added tray 3 to only use for printing 8 1/2 x 11 job tickets on letter size labels. The idea is to make tray 2 the default tray and always have plain letter size paper loaded in it for all regular paper printing. Tray 3 is to be used ONLY when a job ticket is printed in MS Access which has the report setup to go to tray 3. I am constantly running into the situation of a user printing a 'normal' job and then the printer pulls expensive label stock from tray 3 and prints on it. I don't understand apparently how to prevent this from happening? Can someone tell me a way to force tray 2 to be the default tray to print from UNLESS the application tells the printer to pull from tray 3? Thank you in advance for any help on this.

On the printer (via front panel menus, or Embedded Web Server or Toolbox equivalent), specify which Paper Type (from the limited value set of names available) is present in each tray; also check that the Paper Size in each tray reflects what is prresent (with most Laserjet printers, sensors in the cassette trays automatically detect the size installed).
Then, when issuing a print request, instead of specifying paper source (tray) identifiers, select a combination of Paper Size and Paper Type (via the Print Preferences) to match the printer configuration.

HP Laserjet 300 Color MFP m375nw will not print in color

My HP Laserjet 300 Color MFP m375nw will not print in color. First it would not even print (has something to do with Google Chrome). I uninstalled the program and tried to reinstall the program but it will not complete the whole installation process. Says it has an error, took to long to run. But the Printer is in the DEVICE section, but not in the PROGRAMS on the Control Panel. When I go to print now, I press (Ctrl, Shift, P) and it will on print in Black no Color. If I go to print the normal why and select, I hit Print and then it ask to select a Printer and there is no Printer to select.

Hp Laserjet 100 color MFP M175nw does not appear as an AirPrint Printer. How do I make it detectable?, Hp Laserjet 100 color MFP M175nw does not appear as an AirPrint Printer. How do I make it detectable?

Hi all,
I have bought a new printer that was compatible with the AirPrint feature. But when I select print for a photo in the iPhone's photo album, the printer won't appear.
There is no clear litterature online that explains how to make the printer detectable. I suspect it should be done automatically.
However I keep on trying and the printer won't show up.
Would anyone would know how to fix this?
Thank you
Sanya

I just got this same printer.
You have to upgrade the firmware in order to use Airprint. Go to the HP support page for this printer and download the latest firmware update. Here's the direct link:

Open the .dmg file and follow the directions. It's pretty easy.

How can i get to the wireless menu laserjet 100 color mfp m175nw?

Hello there!
Can someone please help me here. I'm trying to set up my wireless laserjet and i can not get it to work for the life of me.
Somehow the printer menu does not let me get to it or change any value in it, leaving me not able to connect to my wireless network. I have done anything and everything the HP support website saays to do. How can i change the SSID in the printer to what my network ssid is?
Thanks a million in advance!

Sorry that you are having this issue. Here is a link that may assist you with the problem.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02677483&tmp_task=useCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=e...
In your printer settings, do you have WIRELESS SETUP or WIRELESS SETUP WIZARD?
The SSID is the name of your network. When the printer searches for a network, it finds your SSID, and you choose it.

Laserjet 300 color MFP nw STOPS SEEING NETWORK after period of inactivity

I work in an office of a television show. We are all on Macs. Printer worked fine for a while, now has an annoying problem.
IF we turn it on, it prints fine for a while and the printer IP is seen by my browser. BUT, if you wait an indefinite amount of time (not sure how many minutes/hours), THEN try to print or access the printer IP... the connection fails.
I've updated the fimware. I've disabled IPv6. I've created a static IP address for the printer, re-added the printer using the IP address-- all to no avail. Each time, after an unspecificed amout of time... the printer seems to DROP from the wireless network, which requires users to turn it off, then on so that it can be seen by the network.
PLEASE SOMEBODY tell me that it's a simple setting and not the network card failing... !

Is there a way to change the default print tray on an HP LaserJet 500 color M551 Printer

Hi
Is there a way to setup the default print tray for a HP LaserJet 500 color M551 printer to be tray 2 printing both online and direct?
If so what would be the best way to go about implementing it?
Thanks
This question was solved.

Usually, you can change the default paper trays through the control panel and through the Embedded Web server (EWS).
Check the settings on your control panel. Here is a link to the User Guide, check out page 94 and see if that helps you out.
m551 User Guide
For the EWS, put the printer IP address into your browser, then go to the tab that would list tray settings. Not sure exactly which tab has it for this printer series, but on other printer series it is on the system tab under paper setup.

How do I make Photoshop the default Edit App for .jpg in Windows 7?

How do I make Photoshop the default Edit App for .jpg in Windows 7?    I want to be able to right click on a .jpg file, select the EDIT option in the Context Menu, then have Photoshop edit the file instead of Paint.
In Windows XP it was very easy to use the File Manger to associate the file type .jpg and action edit with Photoshop.    No so easy in Windows 7. It is easy to change the default OPEN application, but I would like to leave Windows Viewer as the default OPEN application and have Photoshop as the EDIT applicaiton.

Before I posted the original question here, I had probably spent a couple of hours trying to research it.   I hate to find no answer for something I know can be done.   So I spent some more time and found the following in the bowels of a Tech Forum that is generally way over my head. I have modified it to be Photoshop specific.
These instructions will update the default EDIT action for image types - jpg,png,gif and the variations.     If you are unfamiliar with editing the program registry you probably will want to back up your registry or take a system backup.
1. Open up the registry editor (Regedit.exe).
You will need to be signed on as a Windows user that is an administrator
2. Find HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT -> SystemFileAssociations -> image -> shell -> edit -> command
This seems like it would be easy but it is not, because there are many key names that are very close (like System.FilesAssociations).   Keep looking because you will find it eventually.
3. Double click on "Default" (on right window pane) and update the program location.
You should see that MSPAINT.EXE is the current program.
Erase the existing value and enter you photoshop location in quotes followed by %1 in quotes. For me this is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Photoshop.exe" "%1"
Hit return.
4. Exit Regit and test.

How do you make Firefox the default browser when the normal way doesnt work?

Im trying completely from chrome after a friend showed my how much firefox has got its act together. However i cant for the life of me set it as the default browser. I have tried the "make firefox the default browser" button in firefox, which simply opens the windows default programs panel. Whenever i try to use the panel it simply sets the http protocol to nightly which isnt even installed!( http://puu.sh/2vJHM ) I think a possible fix would be to manually change the registry, but i wouldnt know where to start.

Did you check the box on ''Options > Advanced > General >[X] "Always check to see if Firefox is the default browser on startup"?
Have you restarted Firefox and if so, or when you do so, what does that section on the advanced Firefox options show?
Have you tried restarting your system after setting the default browser using the second suggestion and, after restart, check the setting per the second suggestion to see if that setting is holding?
Updating your Plugins would have no affect on the default browser question. It was something that you needed to do to avoid security issues online by using an out of date version of Java. Java is not involved in the default browser issue. That is why I separated it from the first part of the reply with a line and began with the word "Other".

Acrobat X: Can you make 'open' the default option when opening sharepoint documents?

When you open a sharepoint document with acrobat X, you get the pop-up screen asking you how you want to access the file. The option are 'check out and open', or just 'open'.
Is it possible to make 'open' the default access methode, so that you don't have to click on the pop-up for every document?

Hi Deedee,
No, it's not really possible to set this default.
That said, there's a registry key setting you can change to disable the SharePoint integration feature though.
They key is:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\(product name)\(version)\FeatureLockdown\cSharePoint
Summary: Disables the SharePoint integration features.
Details: Controlls the application's ability to detect that a file came from a Sharepoint server, disables the check-out prompt, and removes the SharePoint specific menu items. Possible values include:
0: Disable the SharePoint integration features.
1: Same as "null." Don't disable the SharePoint integration features.
This may not really fit your need though.

How do I make preview the default pdf viewer after clicking a link?

I have Preview as my default viewer for files I download. But Acrobat thinks it can make itself the default for pdf links I click on the web. I hate Acrobat on the Mac, and I only need it once a year for filing my state taxes online. How do I eliminate Adobe's "entitlement mentality?"

Office 2013 click-to-run does not honor deselecting 'Make Outlook the default program' checkbox

We use an email client other than Microsoft Outlook (let's say Thunderbird)
Thunderbird is set as the default mail client for the machine (HKLM\Software\Clients\Mail\(default) set appropriately)
Occasionally, we launch Outlook (but absolutely do not want it as the default mail client for the machine). About 30 seconds after launching Outlook, we see that the Windows default mail client changes to Microsoft Outlook.The 'Make Outlook the default
program for E-mail, Contacts, and Calendar' checkbox in File->Options is disabled.
Further investigation with ProcMon indicates that a SYSTEM service called integrator.exe starts up about 30 seconds after we launch Outlook. This service changes the HKLM\Software\Clients\Mail\(default) registry key to be Microsoft Outlook.
We have tested with multiple non-Outlook email clients, and the behavior is always the same.
This only happens on click-to-run installs of Office 2013. Regular installs of Office 2013 do not have the problem. Older versions of Outlook do not have the problem.
What can we do to get Outlook to honor the 'Make Outlook the default program' setting?

Kapaal -
Thanks for your reply. Your blog post would certainly work if this was just a user-mode app that was making the change, but that's not the case with Office 2013.
The integrator.exe process that is making the change is part of Microsoft's Click-to-Run system. It runs as a service with local system access, and thus would have full access to the key. I might be able to lock it down by creating a second system
admin account and playing games with it - but that will make it very difficult to actually change the value when I want it do be changed, and I really shouldn't have to be doing workarounds to prevent Office itself from doing this.

I just upgraded from Express to Pro. When I open a project in Finder and neither Express nor Pro are running, it always opens in Express. "Open With ..." says Express is the default. How can I make Pro the default instead?

I just upgraded from Logic Express to Pro. When I open a project in Finder and neither Express nor Pro are running, it always opens in Express. I now want projects to open in Pro. "Open With ..." says Express is the default. How can I make Pro the default instead?

Well, when I've done things like that it always sems like a good idea to keep an application that you know the file will definitely open in...
