Page setup and printing

Hello all,
I am currently working on a visual presentation and have a question regarding the printing of my work.
The project is a 6 page booklet that conveys the tone and story points of a film that I'm working on. What I've done is created the 6 documents in photoshop (11in Wide, 8.5in Tall) and placed them into into InDesign. The InDesign page set up matches the dimensions of the psd file (11in Wide, 8.5in Tall). My bleeds are .5in all around. I don't have a great printer so what I want to do is save the document as a PDF and bring that PDF some place to have it professionally printed on a high grade printer. As I mentioned before my page set up dimensions are 11in wide and 8.5in tall, will I need to alter my page set up dimensions to fit the dimensions of the paper size I choose at the print? Also, are there any specific settings I should pay attention to when exporting the PDF so that the printing store doesn't run into any problems?
Thanks so much.

The page size would need to be over-sized at 11x17 and trimmed down in the case of a bleed.
This is one reason why I said to check with the printer. The printer may not need the file setup as spreads depending on how the booklet will be bound.
That and 1/2" bleed seems a bit much but then again it depends on the printer. The cover pages may need to be larger to accommodate for the binding.
Again check with the printer 1st in order to save yourself some time.

Can't print: "Before you can perform print-related tasks such as page setup or printing a document,

Hello,
I have searched these forums but have not found a solution to my problem.
I recently purchased an IOGear USB Print Server (print server only, not USB device server). I was having issues installing and followed a Microsoft support document to try and resolve the issue. It had me remove some entries from the registry.
Hours later, I was able to get the printer installed and working, but I do not know if it was a result of the registry tweak. But now that it has been installed, I cannot get anything to print from Acrobat Reader (I have tried 7.0 and 8.1.1). I get the following error message:
"Before you can perform print-related tasks such as page setup or printing a document, you need to install a printer."
Is there something I should check in the registry to make sure that it will work? I do know for sure that it was working when it was just the printer and drivers installed, it only happened after running the print server setup. I have already tried removing the printers and drivers from the system.
Thanks,
Braden

I have a problem similar to those posted here, with one difference. With my printers newly installed, regardless of which one is selected as the default, when I try to print from Adobe Reader I receive the error message we're talking about : "Before you can perform a print related task...."
Here's the fun part.
If I click OK on the message, ALL MY PRINTERS GET DELETED and, I get the windows message that "Spooler subsystem app has encountered a problem and needs to close"! If instead of clicking OK I switch to Task Manager and end Adobe, I'm fine and can print from other programs.
I can "reset" the problem by deleting the files in C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Printers and C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Drivers\w32x86, restarting the machine, and deleting then reinstalling the printers (which show up again after the restart).
BUT, if I try to print from Adobe Reader again, I get the same cycle of problems.
I am running Windows Vista and Adobe Reader 8.1

As soon as I posted, Ifigured this one out on my own by going into user settings and changing the default there. Then I was able to delete the default @mac account. Thanks!

Hi,
I got the next error message for a pdf document: “Before you can perform print-related tasks such as page setup or printing a document, you need to install a printer"
Info:

thanks for quick solution

Hi,
My printer is correctly installed. I can print other pdf documents without any problem (even the same document if the security settings are not set).

I changed my margins in page setup and now I cannot see page setup, a print preview, or print, what do I do?

I changed left and right margins to .5 thinking they were in inches and closed the page setup screen the next time I tried to print all I saw was a blank page or no page depending on zoom / shrink to fit ratio set. When I go to page setup all I get is a new window that is transparent in the text area and extends off the right side of the screen. I have to right click and select close to close it as I do not see the standard minimize, maximize, and close buttons. I do not want to reset defaults as I have changed many settings and do not remember all the settings I have changed. I do have an older copy of my firefox profile in a previous user profile of mine on this machine. Is there an easy way to reset the page setup settings?
What do I do?
PS. I am using Firefox 29 on a XP Pro machine slated for upgrade to windows 7 Pro.

Sorry I have been away from this system forr a while. when I turned it on this morning and launched Firefox it upgraded me to version 31.0.
Attached are three Png files, one is what happens if I try to print to do a print preview. If I try to print a web page it prints the same thing.
The other file is what comes up when I click on page setup. It opens a very wide window that is a copy of the web page that was there when page setup was clicked on.
The Third is what happens to the above page setup window when I drag the window to the left.

Possible bug: After using page setup in print preview it clears the preview screen and locks up the window (no visible widgets). I have to close the window from the title bar and start the print over.

On any page, select "Print->Print Preview". Once in the preview window, use the menu to select "Print->Page Setup". In the setup dialog box, click on the "Margins & Header/Footer". Modify some headers and footers. Then click on OK.
The preview window will either be cleared or become unresponsive. The only way to proceed is to close the preview window using the Windows close button in the top right hand corner. I must then start my printing over.
I found that I can work around this by first changing the page setup BEFORE going to print preview. However, this looks like a bug and it should be investigated and fixed.

Both printers? Or just the HP Photosmart C3100 series printer?

Programmatically Set Page Setup when printing with Internet Explorer?

Hello,
I'm using the LabVIEW 7.1 Print HTML Report VIs.
However, I'd like to change the default margings and footer and headres of Microsoft internet explorer which is used to do the actual printing.
I tried to find a way using the functionality of IWebBrowser2 (Wich is actaully used by the original VIs). It seems I have to use OLECMDID_GETPRINTTEMPLATE and pass a structure of the type ITemplatePrinter.
How can this be done - or is there a more simple way to do this?
Thanx,
Rainer

I'm looking for the same features. Ideally you would be able to send the page setup parameters to IE programatically but so far I've had no luck doing that or finding any reference on how it would be done. The closest thing I've seen is the print templates, but I am still unsure how those would be implemented exactly. I did find this reference for the template which seems fairly descriptive:

Page Setup And Orientation Seems Crazy to do Such Simple Task !

i am evaluating crystal reports 2008 , i'm having created a custom paper size width = 8 inch and height = 6 inches using windows forms in printers and faxes . but crystal report changes my report to landscape ??? i want to print it in portrait.
I have observed that when the width is greater than height it automatically changes to landscape mode ? why this extra smartness when we don't need it and the problem goes critical when printing labels, version CRYSTAL REPORTS 9 has perfect page setup setting ?
can any 1 help me to work around this issue, would be thankfull

I suspect you've created a standard report and are "using it" as a label report.
Go to File | New | Mailing Label Report | choose the fields and once the datasource, tables, fields are chosen you can then choose TYPE and size of label (Avery labels sizes/types are provided) and set up the gaps between the labels, page margines, etc.

How to setup and print USB001 via wireless router

Hello,My printer M1136 MFP was able print via usb001 port on RT_N13U_b1 wireless router..this enable me to scan and print without any queue print errors..Now the problem is.. due to recent system setup i removed the printer and tried to re-add. Now am not able to print via usb001 errors but direct usb hardconnect to my system can print and scan ..I've forgotten the steps in the first place how i did the set-up by chance to print via usb001 on wireless router. TCP/IP print works but with queue errors more than 3+ print jobs. I want to setup to print via usb001 through my wireless router, so that i can do a scan wirelessly since tcp/ip always gives error due to multiple queues....but didnt encounter any queue errors on usb001 setup. How can i setup to print via usb001 on my wireless router?

Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I noticed that you cannot setup your HP Laserjet Pro m1136MFP on Windows 7. I am happy to look into this for you! According to your printer's specifications, and page 39, of your printer's user guide, states this printer can only be direcly connected to the computer with the USB printer cable. The M1210 Series Laserjet, can connect to a network but not the M1136 MFP Laserjet printer. Hope this answers your question, and have a nice day! “Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.”

CS3 page setup: in print dialog box???

I am confused about the page setup in CS3. Coming from Illustr. 10 if I started a drawing in landscape mode and wanted to change into portrait mode I had to change the document and page setup boxes. Now in CS3 there is only a document setup, the page setup is in the print dialog box. Can someone share some light on this?
Thanks.
Ulrich

I think the process is now as it always should have been. It was crazy always having to go to two different dialog boxes just to change one setting. The thinking here is that Illustrator is now smart enough to know to automatically adjust the Page Setup settings for you -- if you rotate the document from Landscape to Portrait for example, AI should be able to figure out on its own that you want it to print that was as well.
The main point here is that Page Setup options aren't needed much anymore -- most of the options are handled directly within Illustrator's Print dialog (and can hence be saved in Print Presets, etc).

Pages - Share and Print - Email document issue

I ran into an issue today on my iPad2 and wanted to see if it was just me or can anyone reproduce this error. If it turns out to be just me, someone help me undertand how to get around the issue. If it is more widespread, where do I report this so it can be resolved in an future release?
Here is what happened.
I received a Word document via e-mail. When I opened it in e-mail and chose to "open with Pages" it worked fine. Imported into Pages sans the font (which I've come to expect). Then I edited the document (it was a quick survey I was taking) and then was ready to send it back to the person who sent it to me. I chose the tools icon, selected "Share and Print" then selected "Email Document" and then chose Word as the format. It converted it and attached the file in a blank e-mail ready for me to address and send.
Well, I wasn't ready to send just yet. So I clicked on "Cancel" and then "Save Draft" which it did successfully. Then I went into email, edited my "Draft" in my Drafts folder, addressed it, etc. and sent it on its merry way. Well, guess what? The file did not come through on the e-mail. Just my text.
I tried "copy and paste" of the file after saving as a draft and it only sent the "picture" of the file ICON and not the file itself. I tried multiple times saving it as a draft and then sending and it never worked.
If I send from within Pages right at the time after "Email Document" is selected, it works every time. It seems to only be when I save the email as a draft from within Pages that it will not send the attachment or something happens to the attachment. I did notice also, that if I edited any "text" from that draft and then saved the draft again, all my edited text wouldn't save either. So any "Draft" saved from Pages I couldn't edit regardless of any attempt.
Draft saving and editing within the email application works as expected.
NOTE: Just before submitting this discussion, I tried the above on my wife's iPad2 with the same results. Anything "saved as a draft" from Pages in e-mail, will not send the attachment. Anything sent directly from within Pages and not saving it as a draft, will send the attachment.
There are times I would like to save it as an attachement, should this work? Thanks everyone!
Edward

I am only vaguely familiar with iWork.com. I know it is a cloud based way to share documents with others, but this is what the send to option does when you work with Pages, Numbers or Keynote on the iPad. I would assume that the function performs the same way in iWork.com. - but it is only an assumption.
"Send to" is the command that will let you send that file to your computer the next time you sync with iTunes. It is the way the iPad transfers the file to your computer - the iPad method of file sharing. You can sync files back and forth from iPad to computer with file sharing as long as the app on the iPad is compatible with a similar application on your computer. In your case iWorks apps on both the iPad and your Mac.
This article will explain it in great detail for you.

Pages, Cocoabooklet and printing

I create our church bulletin in pages and then use cocoabooklet to create the pdf for printing. We have recently started outsourcing our printing. The first page (front and back of the bulletin) is in color and for some reason the fonts are darker and slightly blurred when they print it. The inside black and white pages look great.
On one occasion there was one paragraph on the back page that looked crisp and correct but the rest blurred. I cannot figure out why. Since it wasn't the whole page affected, I thought something in my file was different about the fonts chosen, but it's not. It's all True Type Font (Californian FB) and I can't see any formatting differences throughout the page. It prints crisp on my printer (though I have a hard time getting the color to match the screen).
Anyone have any ideas or a similar issue with fonts bleeding/blurring?

It sounds like you have used Transparency or Reflections/Shadows which also use transparency.
Transparency gets rendered at a very low 72 dpi bitmap in .pdfs output using OSX's ColorSync. This was introduced to make life difficult for users trying to print commercially, but to not spoil the surprise Apple has chosen not to warn them.
Do not use transparency in any form is the safest way out.

Is it possible to have multiple page sizes and print types in the same pdf?

Is it really possible to have a pdf which has multiple pages and each of them have pages which are of different page sizes (e.g. letter, A4, A3) and print types (e.g. Simplex, Duplex)???
Thanks,
Phoenix

you can definately do different page sizes by using different master pages. You can set the paper type for each master page in the object>master page palette.
