Print Dialog doesn't retain settings

I am using kPrintActionCmdBoss to print several times from the same document (different layers each time). I want to put up the print dialog the first time, and then keep the user's settings for the subsequent prints. I can see that the settings are remembered by the document:
IDocument* iDoc = Utils<ILayoutUIUtils>()->GetFrontDocument();
InterfacePtr<IPrintData> docPrintData(iDoc->GetDocWorkSpace(), UseDefaultIID());
bool16 debug1 = docPrintData->GetPrintBlankPages();
debug1 is kTrue if I ticked the 'Print Blank Pages' box in the dialog.
I try setting the print command's print data:
InterfacePtr<ICommand> printActionCmd(CmdUtils::CreateCommand(kPrintActionCmdBoss));
InterfacePtr<IPrintCmdData> printActionCmdData(printActionCmd, UseDefaultIID());
printActionCmdData->SetPrintData(docPrintData);
but the print command seems to pay no attention to the settings.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
Charles

I also wonder why there is no "print preview" option in the Firefox print dialog box. I don't want a "workaround"—I simply want a print preview option the same way every other Mac application provides it in the print dialog box.
Where did this go??

Control Centre - doesn't retain settings

The version of Control Centre (2.5.060) on my mother board (P67a-c43, bios v1.19, 20120801) doesn't retain settings. In fact what would appear to be the "apply" button is showing as blank.
Recently I reverted to an older version of the bios because of other problems. I seem to remember that when I was using the very latest bios before I reverted to an older one at least the green power settings seemed to be working.
I notice on other posts that this problem of not being able to "apply" settings or retaining settings seems to be a bug that has never been fixed.
I wonder, is this still the case. Is there any solution?

Thanks for the suggestion. My bios version shows "auto" and a also atarget cpu temperature. When I tried it at a target of 60C and ran the cpu flat out the cpu temp was nearly 70c. So, knowing that the actual is overshooting the target temp, one way forward is to set the target quite a bit lower than than the actual desired temp.
I think this is simple if inelegant way of solving the problem and I'll probably adopt this mainly because it is so simple.
But surely to have to do this because Control Centre doesn't work and because the alternative bios method of temperature control is inaccurate does not do MSI any great credit.

Nokia 6288 doesn't retain settings after reboot

Hi, i've a problem with a Nokia 6288 that after each reboot
does not retain settings regarding "Normal" profile and background. If i turn off the phone, when i turn it back on it reverts to blank backround and "nokia tune" ringtone and all other settings to default.
I already tried to reset it to factory default but had no luck.
Also tried reflashing firmware with nokia software updater but the problem still remains.
There is a way for "hard resetting" it to factory default?
Regards
Luca

ACR doesn't retain settings

I'm using Photoshop CS5.1 on Mac OS Leopard. I adjust TIF and JPG files in ACR. Occasionally, the adjustments will be lost after opening in Photoshop. This doesn't happen with every file and sometimes after two or three tries the settings will be saved when they were lost the first time. Is there a way to assure adjustments will always be saved? Thanks.

Sorry about the confusion.
I work with JPGs and TIFs, preparing images for offset printing, sourced from stock agencies and individual photographers. I seldom work with RAW files. I really like the tools offered in ARC for adjustments because they are none destructive if I have to return to the source image for additional corrections. As I've stated above, I make the corrections in ARC, open in Photoshop to continue my image prep. Occasionally, when I return to the source file in ARC, the adjustments are gone. I make them again and open in Photoshop. Sometimes the adjustments are saved the second time and sometimes not. So, I'm not sure what the problem may be. Hence, my post here...

V. 7.1.0.37 doesn't retain settings

I'm using version 7.1.0.37 of the Blackberry Desktop Software, and it keeps unchecking the 'Replace all entries on your computer with the entries on your device' checkbox in the Tasks configuration settings, and even when I set the checkbox & sync right afterward it sill ignores the checkbox. It also reverts the custom device backup path to %home%/My Documents/Blackberry/Backup from the custom location I set it to myself- every time I open & close the application.
I've uninstalled & reinstalled it twice & it doesn't matter, it still doesn't save its settings.
Is there a configuration file I can edit manually in an editor to try to make it set right?
Do you have a bug tracker I can file a bug report in?

Nor does it remember that its supposed to launch upon connecting the device.

Printing Presets Problem, Not Retaining Settings Assigned To A Preset.

Hi
I have a 10.5.8 client computer that is experiencing problems with saved printer presets not retaining the paper tray assigned to that preset. It works for other printers but not this one particular printer. I have tried the following.
1. Repair disk permissions.
2. Delete the troublesome printer presets and recreate them.
3. Reset printing system and re-add printers and recreate all printer presets.
4. Ran Onyx maintenance scripts, cleared caches, etc.
5. Re-applied 10.5.8 combo update.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi xenainoz
In SAP DMS Whatever document that are linked to an Object Such as PO, PR , Material, WBS element, Sales order Item cannot be printed directly.

Please check this link . hope you will get some idea.
When PO is Mailed to vendor the DIR Original should also go as addn attachm

Acrobat 9 Mac Print dialog freezes

I haven't been able to print from Acrobat 9 Pro for Mac for about many months. I can open the Print dialog box and change settings, but as soon as I click the Print button, Acrobat freezes and I have to force quit. (More accurately, the Print dialog box can be dragged around, but even if I switch to a different app, like the Finder, the Print dialog box stays open -- Print button no longer flashing. Nothing prints, and the dialog box cannot close until I force quit.)
Even worse, it happens when I print a PDF from Safari, too! It's been driving me crazy, and I've tried a ton of different troubleshooting techniques.
Currently using 9.2.0 on Mac OS 10.5.8. Not sure when the problem started, but I've done a number of Acrobat and OS updates since then, always hoping that one will fix it. No luck.
I thought it was the free version of Font ExplorerX from linotype that I've been using far, far too long. When I quit that, it seemed to work once... but now even without that running it's crashing. So perhaps it was a fluke.
Also, sometimes it works if I hit the Print button really quickly after the dialog box opens. That's even weirder.
Yes, I have removed the printer driver and reinstalled.
Frustrated. (I usually just open the pdf in Preview and print, or place it in InDesign and print. But sometimes, like today when I have to print a contract with digital signatures, only Acrobat will do.)
Sigh,
David Blatner

"Acrobat is a fincky application..."
One thing I've learned since OSX 10.2 is that Mac is finicky about printer drivers too.
I had a Lexmark and it would freeze all the time after I switched to Panther. It was a discontinued model so when I moved up to 10.3 there were no new drivers. The old ones installed OK but they would cause it to freeze up and if it did print, it took about ten minutes to get through a page of text.
I got a new printer and one tht had current drivers available for Mac and the problem was solved.
It seems we fight a never-ending battle with hardware and software racing to stay ahead of each other.
Yes I've owned three printers since owning my first Mac an SE 30 I started out with a Apple ImagewriterII (made C-Itoch). I had to switch when I bought a 7100/66 which used the PowerPC processor instead of the 68030 processors. Then I had a HP DJ 650cse which used a Black Cartridge only. No color. I had to change again When I bought my G4-500. I am still using it today. Its the best printer I've had so far. I fear when I buy a new Intel Mac, and comes with X.6 (Snow Leopard) I will have to swap again. I've seen the new HP DeskJets and the won't last as long this one. They look like cheap toys and (gulp!) they use heads built like in epson not the Cartridges. The Cartridges were more expensive. But each time you bought one you got a new set of print heads. No longer.

Print Dialog Printer Button

Hi All,
There are a number of printer features that we use that are only accessible via the "Printer..." button on the print dialog. This would be fine except it seems to forget what settings were last used between print jobs. For example, we print to mail boxes on our MFPs. A user needs to hit print, click Printer..., specify the mailbox settings or choose a Preset, click Print then click OK on the main dialog. When trying to immediately print again using the same settings, all steps must be repeated otherwise the mailbox isn't chosen and all other settings specified on the actual MacOS Printer dialog are lost.
The same holds true for any settings not available on the main "Adobe" print dialog including duplex, Fiery settings, Fax #s (yes, some of our consultants still use them), etc.
Simply telling people to be sure to follow all steps every time is not an answer. We have a few dozen users. There's no way they're all going to remember all the time and it's going to be a huge time and resource ($$/Paper) waster.
Anyone know a way around this?
Because of this issue, I see no reason to upgrade at this time. We're on maintenance which annoys me because I'm paying for nothing at the moment. But I think it'll be too much of a drag on our productivity to try to roll it out as it is.
Thanks,
Jeff

Thanks Steve. Seemed like it worked at first but no go. When I go back into the Print Dialog an hit Printer, the settings ARE there but unless you click Print on that dialog, the adobe dialog ignores them. In other words, if I hit Printer and get the dialog. The settings (using presets) are saved and visible. But if I hit cancel at the dialog (which most people I know would do if they're not changing anything), it disregards the settings.
Thanks,
Jeff

How to set print dialog box to sync with applications

Dear all
I am using different applications, such as photoshop, lightroom, etc. All these applications have their propper print dialog box with enhanced settings.
BUT
after hitting the print button, my computer takes me always to the mac print dialog box, where again I can set different things: I can set paper quality, paper format, the colors...
to me it seems that the settings I have chosen in the application print dialog box are getting erased by this second set of (OS X) print-settings.
WHY DO I NEED TO GO THROUGH TWO PRINT DIALOG BOXES?
Can I omit the OS X print dialog?
Or am I missing something?
many thanks for your help,
Hynek

Thank you for this reply.
I will work around it with presets.
but just to understand this: *which dialog box is the one setting the printer* (when for example using photoshop)? is it the first dialog box, i.e. photoshop print dialog box - or is it the osX print dialog box?
if it is the second, I can skip the photoshop-one... ?
or do I need to experiment with a combination of both?
greetings,
Hynek

How to trap opening and closing of adobe print dialog?

I'm working on a asp.net page with dynamically embedded pdf document in it.
I'm using embedded javascript to print the pdf document after a button click and some processing serverside.
As you know print dialog doesn't open immediately and it takes some to open.
And now I'm in a situation where I need to trap opening and closing events of pdf print dialog,
as internet explorer doesn't wait for print dialog to be closed before returning the page control flow to my
script and as a consequence the user will not be aware of opening print dialog and maybe perform other actions
without printing.
Thanks in advance for any HELP!

Export to PDF doesn't retain page settings

Create a report with lots of columns and then change the page settings to be landscape and shrink to fit. Now run the report and print the report as a PDF. It works as expected.
Now export this same report as a PDF. The export will not retain the page settings. Instead, it will export the PDF in portrait and it will not shrink to fit.
If you email the report to someone, it also doesn't retain the page settings.
I opened a TAR on this issue and I was told this was not a current feature of Discoverer. Exporting does not retain page settings by design and it would be an enhancement request to get this new functionality.
We build a lot of custom Oracle Reports right now so that users can drill from one level to another. With OracleBI Discoverer, I can now do this with linking to sheets. With Oracle Reports, I can render the report in PDF format which is a business requirement. With OracleBI Discoverer, I can do this too except I can't export the PDF because it doesn't fit on the page correctly.
Anyone else need this functionality?
On another "enhancement request" note, I would like to be able to schedule exports. OracleBI Discoverer is getting close to providing an alternative to Oracle Reports which is great because it is faster to build and deploy reports and it is licensed by the CPU so I don't have to worry about buying Report Builder licenses. Lastly, business users can build their own reports rather than someone in IT doing it.

ok, here's what I have found out (thanks to our Viewer guru, Matthew):
The print/PDF preferences are currently not saved, so you are right when you say you have to re-apply those settings.
However, there is a way to persist these changes within a session (note that since these changes are session-resident only, you will lose them once you exit Viewer).
The short one line explanation of the workaround is to make the changes using the 'Printable Page' link, generate a 'Preview' or the entire PDF report, and then use the worksheet breadcrumb link to return to the worksheet. This ensures that the PDF changes you made are available during the sesion to the worksheet. You can always undo these settings by clicking the 'Revert to saved' link.
I have posted the same information, but with screenshots, to http://oraclebi.blogspot.com/2005/12/pdf-settings-in-viewer.html

Photo Downloader doesn't retain previous settings (again)

Please see previous post because this issue involves Photo Downloader and ACR.
I'm using 10.6.8, CS5.1 and Bridge 4.1.0.54
I have just reloaded Camera Raw 6.4.1 due to the bug in ACR 6.5 that prevents selecting a destination folder in Photo Downloader and causing Bridge to freeze.
6.4.1 solves the freeze problem, but now it's back to the problem that none of the settings in Advanced Dialog are retained, nor does Photo Downloader default to Advanced Dialog anymore. I've added the CS5 folder as before (User/Library/Application Support/Adobe) alongside the existing CS5.1 folder, but it hasn't solved the problem. Is there a new solution to this yet?
6.4.1 works fine on my MBP using the above workaround (CS5 folder added). Because I now have a dozen new student iMacs to set up, my three-part second question is: has ACR 6.6 been tested for these two bugs; should I wait before setting up the iMacs; how long before ACR 6.6 is officially released?

Thanks Omke. I¹ll try that next time I¹m in the lab. However, on my
MacBook Pro I checked the CS5.1 folder, and there is no ³APDPreferences.xml²
in that location (it is there in CS5 folder but I couldn¹t open it). On the
iMacs, I¹m only running CS5.1. Is there a different location for it in
CS5.1?
I¹m wondering if I¹m the only one running Mac OS 10.6.8, Bridge 4.1.0.54 and
ACR 6.5 who¹s having this problem?

It¹s baffling,
That is to put it mildly you mean, can't imagine that is the only word that
came to your mind... Have you tried to repair permissions for OSX
again? I don't have the 5.5 installed so can't compare but if one system
does work, another not and you have compared both files and folders
existence in the two systems it does seem to be OS related to me? There is
also a file called "APDPreferences.xml" (user/library/Application Support/
Adobe/Bridge CS5) Can you open the files on both systems and compare the
content, it contains the settings made in advanced dialog.

Saving print dialog settings

I have a machine with adobe reader 6.0 in which different users are logging with different account.
If a administrator changes print dialog settings such as Auto rotate and center or Page scaling (Fit to page, Shrink page sizes) while printing a document, the same settings are not visible in print dialog of various users which log onto same machine.
Does AcroReader stores settings differently for different users ?
Where does it store settings in registry or a seperate settings file for each user ?
How can i have same settings (Print dialog settings) for different users ?
any help will be greatly appreciated.

It does say, "Double-sided: Yes," in Windows' printer properties for the Bizhub PS (and PCL) Fiery driver(s) -- in fact, this may have been from me turning it on for the PS driver in Windows Registry, as it was off for some reason, but seemed to make no real difference anyway -- but I think the duplexing option would have been grayed-out in the Fiery driver's dialog if not available as some various other options are -- the driver has the capability to poll the device for such options availability -- and I don't actually see anything duplexing-related on the Installable Options tab, but the Installed list is identical to one of our XP computers with no apparent issues with printing to the drivers from InDesign -- although at one point, if a Vista user printed an InDesign document and saved it (and thus the printer settings), XP users for some reason couldn't print the document without forcing a change in the print driver settings, but I believe this was due to using the same drivers but different TCP/IP port configurations per machine (Vista doesn't need the IP_ prefix as XP seems to).

BUG: Printer default settings not being used when selected in Print Dialog Prompt

We have 2 styles of printers on our computers: and Epson Receipt Printer (paper size Roll Papper 80mmx257m) and a Dell printer (paper size 8.5x11)
Our issue is if use us the non-defaulted printer to print something in Internet Explorer, it overrides the default printer setting with its default settings of that non-default printer. When we try to use the default printer again, the settings will
not switch back to the appropriate settings of that default printer.
Example: (Epson selected as Default Printer in Windows 7 Professional)
I open IE and select print on a page. I select the Dell printer and hit apply to change the print settings to the default settings of that Dell. Everything prints fine. I then try that same page, but this time I select the Default Printer
(Epson) and hit "apply" in the Printer Dialog Prompt and print. The print out is of the paper size letter and not the default settings for the Epson which is Roll Paper. I look at the settings in the preferences from IE's Print Dialog
Prompt and it shows it will use the Paper Size: LT 8.5x11 in.
If I close and re-open IE and print that same page to the Epson without selecting the Dell I see that the settings are back to the defaults for the Epson and things print as they should.
Why doesn't IE use the default settings after selecting any printer and hitting apply in the print dialog prompt past the first change of printer selection?

Why doesn't my Mac mini retain settings?

Since I installed Mountain Lion, my Mac mini does not retain settings. Every day, I have to reverse the scroll direction of my mouse. I have to remove apps from my dock that I removed the day before but now have reappeared (this actually happened before installing Mountain Lion, too).
When I enter usernames, nothing is ever "smart" - I have to type the whole thing.
These are just some of the quirky things that are going on.

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
