Preview/Printer question

Hey guys,
I don't know if this is the proper forum to ask this, but if ANYONE can help me out, I would greatly appreciate it!! This may sound like a petty thing to ask, but I am taking a class and the professor is expecting us to print almost 30 pages worth of slides for notes to bring to class. (I would handwrite them all down in my notebook but she goes over her lectures too darn fast for me to write every word down.)
SO my question is this: How do I change the color preference on Preview before printing?? Some of classmates in my class can print them on grayscale/black and white, assuming they are NOT Mac or Apple owners, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do this! It won't open w/ anything else, bc I thought if I could "trick" it to open on Pages or Keynote I can print in black and white to save ink. But it won't and this can't go on throughout the semester or else my printer ink will die soon!
Any help/suggestions?
Thanks!
PS. If I should post this elsewhere, let me know. I wasn't sure where to ask this question other than here since I have the Leopard on my computer right now.

Hi Luce, this is fine likely.
Depends on Printer & Drivers, but look for something like these in the Print Dialog...
Then op at Presets, choose Save As... B&W Only.

Preview Printing

I'm posting this question here after trying it at the Printing And Faxing forum. I have a book of my own compositions that i scanned to a disc. The book has a table of contents, and other introductory material that is numbered with roman numerals. The rest of the book is numbered normally, starting with the first composition on page one. The problems start when i try to print out one of the tunes. I click the print icon, enter the the page i want to print (i.e. from 23 to 23) and hit print. What happens is, Preview prints the 23rd page of the entire book, including the introductory pages, not page 23 starting from page 1. Other than adding up the roman numeral pages and tacking that on to 23 and printing that number, is there a way around this? It's extremely annoying, and it's kind of ruining Preview for me, even though i like it much better than Adobe Acrobat (where i don't have this problem) I'd like to dump Adobe and just use Preview, but i can't until this problem is solved. Thanks.

I have Word, and have been trying to open the PDF's in it, but I haven't been able to get it to work. I open Word, then file/open, then I navigate to the files on the disc, but all the different PDF's are greyed out. I just don't understand how PDF's can be opened in a text program. With that said, it's not really that big of a deal. Acrobat works o.k., I just like Preview better, it runs more smoothly and the images look better, I just hate the printing thing that started this whole thread. And thanks for the music scanning apps, but scanning my hand-written scores into the computer hasn't been the problem, just the printing in Preview.

Help! Pictures are not shown when saving to PDF. Cannot Preview Print Job.

I guess you need to fix it
Or if you would like some help provide some information - there are no mind reader supporting this forum and we can only work with the information you give us - right not that is "it does not work"
iPhoto has no "save to PDF" function - exactly what are you doing? and what exactly do you want to do?

Preview printing to Black and White?

for some dumb reason (either me or the UI....) i can't figure out how to set up a preset for a single page in black and white out of preview.
can anyone help?

With the Preview print dialog set to Show Details, you should be able to select the vendor menu where the B&W / Grayscale setting is located. Or if you are using Apple's AirPrint driver, then the B&W setting is present in the print dialog as shown below.

Preview Print is Boffo (V2)

Someone tell me if I am doing something wrong of if Preview print just acts whack.
I open three images in Preview:
I. I do nothing and pulldown to Print and it will print the FIRST image
II.I do nothing and pulldown to Print Selected and it will print the FIRST image
III. I select all three images and pulldown to Print and it will print the FIRST image
IV. I select all three images and pulldown to Print Selected and it will print ALL THREE IMAGES
I mean, wouldn't the logical - and most HASSLE-FREE way to implement this is to let me run a PRINT and let me print all three images that I have opened? This way if I want to print /less/ I can SELECT LESS and run a Print Selected? Right now it is a /major/ pain to have to always SELECT ALL MY IMAGES when I want to print them. Also, it is really illogical to have three different ways of printing just the first image, isn't it?
I missing something here and there is an easier way to print all my images than jumping through an additional two or three hoops to get there...?
Is this the it's a turkey and not the i have a bug deal again?
THANKS

i am trying to simplify an existing workflow. can you just give me what you know and not what you presume because this is getting difficult to understand.
I am giving you what I know. I have to presume some things because I'm not running your version of Mac OS X, so I can't be sure that Apple hasn't changed something between my version and yours.
one way to do this is to use terminal to (apparently) change the default settings of the Print Dialog because these don't stick in a way that would make them more useful.
No, the Terminal commands would alter the behavior of Preview, not the Print dialogue box.
you are saying that these keystrokes are a REPLACEMENT for manually selecting all the images and then printing them? I mean, these two keystrokes replace my MANUALLY SELECTING ALL THE IMAGES and then running a PULLDOWN TO PRINT?
No, I believe that's what fane-j was implying, in an ideal world. But at least on my system you can't "Select All" and then print, since you only get the image in the active window, and if I load multiple images at once, that command doesn't work anyway. I don't think Apple has changed that in this most recent version of Preview.
If so, I would really rather prefer to have a workaround to avoid the dialog altogether that would just let me print images directly from Finder.
We'd all like to reduce keystrokes, but I doubt you'd be able to avoid the Print dialogue anyway, because you do have to choose which printer you want, as well as paper size, etc. If you Control-click on a single image, you can choose 'Print' from the contextual menu and it will print immediately, without going to the Page Setup or Print diaglogue menus.
Do you have a suggestions for reducing KEYSTROKES or MANUAL OPERATIONS to print all my documents? This is the point of the post unless I am using the dialog for Print wrong or unless there is a bug in my system.
First thing you should do is try those Terminal commands and then test Preview to see if the annoying behavior continues; if not, that would reduce at least one click or keystroke. If not, there are some other things we can add or change that may also help you with the default sizing of your images.

Image Printing Question

Hello,
Bottom line summary: How do I use the Media and Quality setting to get a good image?
I have an image printing question for an HP 8600 Office. I am trying to get a decent quality image to print
on regular paper. I gather that I will not get the quality of a photo printer. I gather I'm supposed to use
HP glossy paper. Please read on ...
Images come out grainy (rastery) when embedded from an MSPaint project, and if I use Word. However when I printed just an image from image viewer it came like a photo ... but I can't remember what I did. It definitely is capable of printing better. My cartridges all check out, etc. I did the Print Quality Report ... I sure wish I could get that quality when I print other things.
I tried messing with different settings from the Print - Preference. The Quality (Best, Normal, Draft) doesn't effect the outcome. I tried going into Print - Preference - Media and it makes a difference. I can't figure out which is the best setting for plain paper ... but it's not plain paper. The image rendering algorithm appears to be different for different Media settings. I also tried setting the Advanced Resolution to Maximum DPI. I haven't been totally methodical about this as I was in a rush.
I see that the printer is being "smart", perhaps a little too smart.
So my question is multipart:
- Is there documenation on the what the Print - Preference - Media settings do?
- How do I get it to not use grainy/rastery image method, but use the nicer photo method?
- Should I print Maximum DPI?
Thanks,
- Dave -

Hi @DaveGold , and welcome to the HP Forums!
I hope you had a great holiday!
I see you're looking into photo setup options. I'd like to help!
First I'd recommend this document on Changing Print Settings in Windows 7. This document should show all the settings you're looking into.
Also, another thing to keep in mind, when you select 'best print quality' and 'photo paper'. It will only be as good as the source image.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Event "Workbook_BeforePrint" not on new funtion "preview&print"

Hi
After starting the work with Excel 2010 I recognized that the new function "print&preview" does not call the event "Workbook_BeforePrint" from the VBA code. In Excel 2007 the event is called on both functions, print and preview.
As the new function "preview&print" is pushed to the user, it will the one to be used to call the preview. But with a macro on the event "Workbook_BeforePrint" the preview will not show the result as it will be printed.
Is there any action I can take to solve this problem on my side? Or is there any plan to integrate the event into the new function?
Many thanks for every help.

Hello Parzungjh,
Welcome to the MSDN forum and we are glad to help with you.
After reading your post, I did test in Excel2010 and Excel2007, just as you said, I reproduce your problem. However, I don't think
it as a problem.
I think it is by design.
I found that print and preview feature is integrated in Excel2010. If you want to control the trigger of BeforePrint event
in Excel2010, you can write some simple VBA codes as follows:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean)
Dim Print_or_Preview As XlYesNoGuess
Application.EnableEvents = False
    Cancel = True
    Print_or_Preview = MsgBox("Show Print Preview?", vbYesNo)
    If Print_or_Preview = vbYes Then
        ActiveWindow.ActiveSheet.PrintPreview
        Else
        ActiveWindow.ActiveSheet.PrintOut
    End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
ActiveWindow.ActiveSheet.PrintPreview
can open the print preview dialog like Excel2007. I haven't found the way to open the print view dialog through UI.
I think it is the change in Excel2010.
I hope it can help you and feel free to follow up after you have tried.

Preview prints, Acrobat won't

I am having trouble printing from Acrobat 7.0.7 (both Pro and reader), but the same documents print using Preview.
Can anyone tell me the difference between the data being sent to my printers by each application?
Thanks.

I'm having the same trouble: Acrobat 7.0.7 Professional will not print documents, while Preview prints them just fine. The documents I'm trying to print were created on QuarkXpress 6.5 and printed with Acrobat Distiller 6.0.1 for MacIntosh, PDF Version 1.5 (Actobat 6.0). So, the suggestion that the problem may be PDFs created in Distiller for Windows does not apply. Unfortunately, the document's security settings to not allow me to use PDF Optimizer to resave the documents (nor am I able to recreate them by writing a PS File and distilling a new document). The security does allow for high resolution printing.
I can print older PDF documents, but lately I've found that Adobe Acrobat will print documents. All I get are blank pages.
I've tried removing the printer and reinstalling it. Did not help. There appears to be some incompatibility between OS 10.4.6 and Adobe Acrobat 7.0.7 Professional.

Smartform preview / print of chinese characters

Hello all
I am facing this issue:
After implementing SAP Note 852926, the Smartform preview / printing works fine with Chinese characters in DEV system.
The Unit test were OK and then the SAP Note has been transported to our TEST env, but the chinese characters are not previewed and printed correctly there.
I see characters as "»ÆêÍ" instead of "黄晖"
I can not find any difference in settings / fonts of the two systems. What am I missing?
Anybody can give a hint?
Thanks
Imrich

Hello Imrich,
Do you use the same device type to print in th test system?
To print Chinese characters from SAP, there are some rules:
1. The form must have Chinese language key 'ZH' or the Chinese texts must be included as standard texts with the language key 'ZH'.
2. The correct Chinese fonts(e.g. CNHEI or CNSONG) must be used for the Chinese texts in the form.
3. The form must be processed with a device type that supports the simplified Chinese language.(eg:device type CNSAPWIN).
Another possibility if you have a Unicode system is tp print via desvice type SWINCF. Here the language of the form doesn't matter.
Regards,
Aidan

Error print preview, print setup, print Reports

Hi All
I had Primavera P6.7 and worked well I upgrade to 8.2 after update when i make print preview, print setup, print and Reports ====> Run it give me errors like:
Type : EAccessViolation
Event Code : AVAA0-2875-6
Description : Access violation at address 00758396 in module 'PM.exe'. Read of address 00000028
Type : EAccessViolation
Event Code : AVAA0-3237-4
Description : Access violation at address 008F1B70 in module 'PM.exe'. Read of address 00000008
I don't know what's the problem and what's the solution????
Please Help me ??

Dear Ibrahim,
Can u Just let me know the Version and edition of Windows like Basic/Professional or Ultimate.
AVAA errors are commonly caused by lack of permissions to the Project Management install directory, the default path is \Program Files\Oracle\Primavera P6\Primavera P6 Professiona
Generally P6 writes a log to this directory. But if the Currently Logged in user does not have Read / Write access to this directory, an error will be thrown.
Solution:
Grant Read and Write access to the P6 PPM installation directory,
by default: \Program Files\Oracle\Primavera P6\Primavera P6 Professional for the Currently Logged In User
Pls Let me know whether this Has Worked For You Or Not.
With Warm Regards

Debugging Preview/Print in ME23N

Hi everyone,
I'm having problems with preview/printing a formular when I'm in transaction ME23N. I modified the standard program SAPFM06P to decide in witch language it would be shown.
I made the changes before function 'OPEN_FORM' and i export the language parameter.
My problem is that this goes well with preview, when I try to print, the program didn't arrives to that point. The problem didn't executes any OPEN_FORM function or some functions related with SapScript...
What's going on?
Thanks a lot

Hello Jose,
You have copied the program SAPFM06P which is the main program which is executed for printing the PO. This program is copied as ZSAPFM06P and the same entry has been made in the customisation for message of PO.
Next the entry point in this program is also maintained in the customisation which is usually ENTRY_NEU and which I believe u have not changed. From this FORM the call to ME_READ_PO_FOR_PRINTING and ME_PRINT_PO or Z_PRINT_PO is made. Did u check if while printing an entry is made to the FORM routine?
Check the printing procedure it might just be skipping ur printing option altogather... Check through customisation. WHat is the status shown in PO when u go to messages section?

Before I buy: speed and printer questions

I am looking to buy a new TC 500gb version to replace my linksys WRT54G. To upgrade the wireless router as well as start a backup system I have yet to ever initiate.
Two questions/concerns come up:
#1) After the initial back up to TC I understand there are hourly incremental back ups - Can that time interval be adjusted, and how long does that back up take (I do now add much data/ files to my main Comp usually) also during those incremental back ups does that affect the computer much, such as if I am playing an internet game, will I lag out while it is backing up every hour?
#2) Setting up a printer through usb port to be accessed by my home network. My HP C6180 all in one works fine being seen through the aged, but battle tested linksys, any reason it shouldn't work with the TC?
Thanks for any insights you might have in this regard.
I have cable isp access, My Main Comp is where the cable modem and TC would be, I have a G4, a G5 and a MBP scattered around the house accessing via wireless.
Message was edited by: Steven Swift

Hi Steven, welcome to the discussions.
After the initial backup (recommend that you use ethernet for this), TC will backup incrementally every hour assuming you will be using Time Machine. There is no way to alter this with Apple software, but a number of users have reported satisfaction with Time Machine Editor, http://timesoftware.free.fr/timemachineeditor/, which will allow you to schedule backups whenever you would like. This might be a good solution if you notice slow downs with other devices during a backup session.
Backups should be relatively quick, but be aware that very small changes in some programs (like Entourage, vmFusion, Parallels) require the entire database to be backed up, not just the small change that might have been made.
The printing question is the most difficult as the boards are busy with users who are having troubles in this regard. Perhaps some other users have used the same HP and can comment. Bear in mind that if your HP is compatible, only the printing function will work through the network. Scanning and other advanced functions are not supported.
