Preview Scan Location and Print v Print Selected

1. where do I set which folder Preview puts my scans?
2. Print v Print Selected: Is there a way to get Preview to print all the pages when I go Print and then I end up pulling down to "pdf" to print a pdf?! For the umpteenth time I have scanned a 50 page document, gone to print a pdf of this scan, and accidentally hit "Print" (go figure) instead of selecting all the pages (!?) and hitting Print - and then of course pulling down the pdf and going to Save As pdf.
Print defaults to print only the selected page ?! and Print Selected Pages works if you select all the Pages? I have to scan the whole darn document again...What am I missing?
Thanks!

If you select to scan a document and then press the Show Details button you can set the location for scanned files.

The default Pages setting in the Preview print dialog is set to all pages. You have to manually change this setting to selected pages/range.
If yours is set to the selected pages setting then check that you are not using a Preset. If no Preset is being used then close Preview and try trashing the file "com.apple.Preview.plist" in your users Library > Preferences folder. Then re-open Preview and select to print a document to check the setting.

Windows 8 Release Preview scanning programme and driver

I have lost my scanning functionality on my printer (HP Deskjet 3070a Printer) after installing the Windows 8 Release Preview.
I Love the OS, but hate that I can't scan.
I want scanning programme and driver. Any suggestions?

Until Windows 8 releases the only driver for your printer will be an in-OS driver. In most cases you can scan but it must be usb only. So if want to scan connect via usb until the Windows 8 releases.

Error message, both in iPhoto and Preview: No pages from the document were selected to be printed.

When I try to print a photo I get the above message stating that no pages have been selected. I tried deleting the iPhoto prefs plist, as I had read in earlier discussions, but that has not helped. I tried opening in Preview, but get the same message.
I have a new printer, HP 7520 series, and have been printing to regular paper just fine. It is only in attempting to print from the photo tray that I have run into this problem. I used page setup first to select the photo paper size and layout, then selected print from the menu.
Any ideas?

Thank you for posting the fix. I have not seen that problem before.

When i try to print a photo: select file print a box comes up stating ' no available themes' ' there were no themes located. Until at least one theme has been installed this feature will be unavailable. ? My iPhoto and hp printer software is up to date.

When i try to print a photo: select photo>file>print a box comes up stating 'no available themes' ' There were no themes located. Until at least 1 theme has been installed this feature will be unavailable'. Mac OS X/10.8.3, iPhoto 9.4.3, HP printer driver up to date. Any suggestions? Thanks.

YOu need to reinstall iPhoto.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

Print menu different since upgrading to Lion 10.7.4. Pop up menu no longer has Preview and lost paper size selection. Photos all printing credit card size. Still using iPhoto 6.0.6. Have upgraded printer drivers.

A slow boot time can be caused by login items.
User Login Items:

Open System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items
Remove one login item noted above then restart your Mac to test. It may be one or multiple items causing the slow boot.

What happened to print preview and the ability to select what you want to print?

I've tried all of the suggestions and still no print preview.

Does this also happen if you use the Print items in the file menu?
*Tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu bar.
Does anything open at all?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

OS 10.6.8 and Canon printer. Prints wireless but will not scan wireless.

Just bought a Canon MX890 multifunction. OS 10.6.8. Used Canon support to help me set up wireless and I can print wireless but it will not scan wireless. Error message reads: "Cannot communicate with scanner for these reasons: Scanner is turned off or USB cable is disconnected." Any suggestions?

Sounds like you are trying to use Canon's MP Navigator application. To get this to work via wireless, you first need to open Canon IJ Network Selector which is located in Applications > Canon Utilities. With this application open it should show you the MX890 on the network. Select it and OK the change.
Next step is to open the MP Navigator application and click on the Preferences button. Then from the General tab you need to ensure the Canon MX890 Network is set.
With these two actions completed you should be able to scan with MP Navigator.
Or as Carolyn has instructed, you can use Image Capture which is included with OS X to scan from the MX890.

After 3.6.8 upgrade both preview and print only prints about a quarter of page in WindowsXP.

Both Preview Print and actual printing shows the page will be about one quarter of the information on the page. If I use I.E.6 the same page prints full document, as previous version of Firefox 3.6.2 I was running did. Page Setup information does not seem different.
The printed data is in the upper left hand side quarter of the 8.5x11 sized paper. HP LaserJet 2100 printer is the output device. I can use Thunderbird on the system and print an email to the same printer and it prints as expected, uses full page for printout as Preview also renders.

Hi,
First, install the Critical Update below:
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software12/COL41827/mp-101648-1/HP_Scan_for_Mac_OS_X_10.7_Update.dmg
Now change the device settings as following:
1. Open the HP Utility and select your device.
2. From Scan Settings open the "Scan to Computer".
3. Click the "Scan Tasks" tab.
4. Select the Scan Shortcut used to scan, then click Edit.
5. In the section of Scan from an HP Device click on the blue triangle to enlarge the menu.
6. From the enlarged menu now open the drop-down menu next to Crop To and set as None.
7. Click OK and try scanning.

I have just updated Acrobat to version 10.1.13. I am using a MAC Running Yosemite. When I try to scan a document, after the printer scans Adobe Acrobat quits and I get an unexpected closure error.

I have just updated Acrobat to version 10.1.13. I am using a MAC Running Yosemite. When I try to scan a document, after the printer scans Adobe Acrobat quits and I get an unexpected closure error. I am running Mac OS 10.10.1. This only started happening when I installed the update of Adobe Acrobat.

Hi MEW1,
Is the printer connected wirelessly or wired?
Go to Preferences and under categories go to > Convert to Pdf then select the Image Capture and then hit ok button.
Close Acrobat and then relaunch it and see if it helps you while you do scanning.

HP Deskjet 3520 e-All in one printer trouble with scanning network, connection and very slow print

Dear all
I bought two days ago HP Deskjet 3520 e-All-in one printer serie, but i have some really bad issues with the scanner! I have searched on the internet and i couldn’t find anything to solve the problem.
I have installed the printer according to the book of the printer, so everything did go well(i think), except that i can’t connect the scan to my computer, a Mac OS X (i am connected with the printer). I get directed to the website where i can connect the scanner, but every time i try to connect it with wi-fi, i get two notification, one from my computer (from HP Itility (Dutch) program) that the connection is off and second from the website that i have to make sure that i’m connected with internet (which i am) and to check the IP address if it is the same with my computer (which is the same).
Obesely something did go wrong, but i can’t find the problem.
Beside when its copy or prints a document (no matter how many pages) it’s very slow. It takes 10 -15 minutes till the printer starts. Has it something to do with the problem i’ve got with the scanner or is the printer always so slow? Because the very first time, when i installed the printer, it printed very fast.
By the way i also print the test-results to check if there is a problem, but according to test-results there are no problems at all.
I hope that someone recognize this problem and can help me to solve it.
Regards,
Esra

Printing PDF brochure from Preview and only graphics print, no text

Spent 30 minutes on the phone with Lexmark. They said with Windows, you would select "Print as Image" under the advanced printing dialogue. I don't see anything like this in MacOS. If I save the PDF as a PNG, then open the PNG in Preview, it prints fine.

I also had this "no text"-problem with a Lexmark C530dn when printing some PDFs from Preview on 10.5.2. The problematic PDFs all were datasheets and papers I downloaded from sources like SAP. I installed the newest version (2.0) of the C530 printer driver, but it did not help.
Using "Generic Postscript Printer" works, but I loose duplex printing, for example. But printing the documents from Adobe Reader 8.1.2 works, too, and I can use the Lexmark driver and have duplex printing etc.

Excel Print preview stopped working and when save as pdf, pdf is blank

mac 10.5.8
excel home and student 2011
i was working on 2 documents for our accountant.
created one in excel, converted to pdf
created second one in excel, converted to pdf
there was maybe a 30 minute time lapse between these 2 files...tops
the first file does in fact have a print preview, and the pdf opens and is viewable.
HOWEVER, on the second file, there is no print preview, and pdf is blank.
(although the printer does in fact print the file with all the words and whatnot on it...)
blank pdf prints blank.
i tried xlsx, and xls to pdf, and nothing works.
it seems that all of the files created before this troublesome one can be converted and seen in print preview....even if i add a new sheet to the workbook, that works just fine...can print preview and convert pdf no problems.
now, when i try to do that with the second file, or any new excel doc, i canNOT convert or print preview....everything is blank.
one minute it was working, the next it's not.
it works for some excel files while not working for newer ones.
nothing was changed in preferences for excel, preview, or the printer, unless i accidentally typed a keyboard command that would allow this to happen.
i REALLY need to be able to convert excel to pdf! and i really don't want to have to print them out just to scan them in and save the scans as pdf...not fun.
i have been researching, or trying to research this here,and it seems that there is a known bug for office 2008, or for a different OS, but none of the work arounds for those issues are helping me here!
someone, please help me get my save as pdf back!!!!

Try different page setups and layouts. Reinstall the Office fonts, or check for new patches from Microsoft. Check in Microsoft Office forums. Mind you PDF from preview and print are not as complete as Adobe Acrobat Pro, and are based on open source PDF standards. I don't know how well the standards were at the time your Office application was written, or if 10.5's PDF standard was up to Office's snuff, or if you updating to the latest available Adobe Acrobat Reader and Plugin will help, but between Office's and Adobe's forum you may be abl eto find an answer.

Photoshop suddenly does not print to Epson 3880 - PROBLEM: Cannot print from Photoshop After restart error message appears: - "There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopen

PROBLEM: Cannot print from Photoshop
After restart error message appears:
— “There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents.”
• All print commands are greyed out and unavailable — even to call up the printer commands cannot be done.
The printer printed fine until about 2 weeks ago when this error message appeared. Printing continues from Pages, I-photo, preview etc. — only Photoshop fails.
The printer has been turned on and off, as have open documents been closed and open etc.. Preferences reset. Repeatedly I have read through blogs and forums and attempted to contact Adobe — all without results
Epson support struggled to find reason and several solutions were tried and they assume this is an Adobe problem.
Running Mac Powerbook X 10.10.2 / Photoshop CS6 13.0.6.x64
Attempting unsuccessfully to print to Epson 3880
What Adobe support will be of help.

LR 4 - image does not appear in Preview and will not print`

The selected image appears on the main/center panel but not in the preview screen. Printing results in a white sheet of paper with no image at all. The image has been updated to LR 4 - but made no difference. I've served help and the forums (where i saw mention of similar problems, but no comments or guidance on the problem). What am I doing wrong?

The problem began with the installation of LR4. I print directly from LR4 to my HPZ3100. I routinely select "print preview" in the print dialogue box. Now the first print I see the preview and then it prints. If I select a second print job and use the "print preview" the print preview screen comes up blank and never loads. If I try to delete the print job, it just never responds (resolves) so I have to turn off the computer and the printer and restart to clear the print job. if I don't use the print preview, it prints just fine (except that I'm not able to check what's about to be printed). Thanks for any thoughts you have on this.

Bill, if this is only happening some of the time, then we are probably looking at a resource issue. Any pattern in when things won't print? e.g. Certain file type won't but others will? Or is it more of a timing/order thing? e.g. First file prints fine, second does not? VStromee, do no files print for you? Or is it like Bill and sometimes the print and other times they do not? Did you install any new software recently or have any updates to the OS or any application that has printing capabilities?
