"Print preset selection failed – restoring previous selection"

Hey, my name is Quin, and I have had a strange problem with InDesign CS5. Suddenly, without warning, or apparant change to my preferences/settings, all my print presets have stopped working. When I attempted to return to them, i get a dialog box that reads "Print preset selection failed. Restoring the previous selection." I'm curious if anyone else has had a problem with the print presets randomly not working. I'm using InDesign CS5 7.0.3 on my MacBook with Mac OS X 10.6.8 and a Brother HL-5340D printer. I thought the print driver might have been corrupt so i deleted and reinstalled it, but to no avail… seems that a number of my print settings are simply unavailable, even if they are still listed.
Anyone have any insight?
Thanks so much,
Quin

Try unplugging and plugging the cables. I would also suggest the you connect the printer to one of the built-in ports rather than a hub, but if you must use a hub, use a powered hub.
Can you delect the printer and print without using a preset? If so, try editing the preset and just reselect the printer.

Can CS4 import printing presets from CS3?

I found the preset folder in the CS3 folder but nothing in there were caller printer presets. I see presets for workspace, swatches, and many other things but not printing. We just upgraded here and I have about 20-30 presets that I REALLY do not want to have to recreate from scratch again!

Yes
You open up CS3
File>Print Presets
Select the Preset and SAVE
Open up CS4
File>Print Presets
Select Load
Find Saved file
Done

Why doesn't saving a print preset for selection printing work anymore? It previously did up to version 2.

I regularly like to highlight areas on web-pages, select print/name a print preset as "Print Selection" and check-mark 'Print Selection Only' of Options under the Firefox sub-heading. Then when I wanted to quickly print a selection instead of a whole web-page, I just highlighted an area, activated print, selected "Print Selection" and then checked print preview to view the selection before printing. That worked from version 2 only.
Now in version 3 +, all above can be done '''except''' the check-marked 'Print Selection Only' option in the Firefox sub-heading keeps resetting itself, even IF you have saved it check-marked as a print preset. Selecting the saved preset "Print Selection" next time will print (preview) the whole web-page, and not what was highlighted (selected) for printing. Why was this feature turned off?

Open Windows Event Viewer -> Custom Views -> Administrative Events. Look for the recent error messages with timestamp corresponding to Skype crash. Copy and paste here the text from the General tab.

Suddenly, when I print a Selection from an email, it prints out about 10 blank pages and somewhere in there, the selection I wanted.

I'm using Firefox 12 on Windows XP. Things worked fine until just this evening. Now when I choose Print/Selection in my email, it spits out multiple (like, maybe 10 or more) blank pages with just a header/footer on them. I've followed the instructions for reseting the Firefox printer setting AND Reseting all Firefox printer settings and it still does it. Everything prints fine in Internet Explorer. This printing issue is getting REALLY tedious. I don't want a complicated workaround, I just want to print a selection. NOW why isn't it working?

Thanks, Cor-el, but that question addressed a problem I had with FF11 (that was only fixed when FF12 came out). FF12 worked fine for printing selections from emails perfectly up until yesterday afternoon. Reboot didn't help, even after reboot when I preview what I want to print (thank goodness for that option, or I'd be going through a lot of paper) it's still showing the page of text I actually want to print, then 6-8 blank pages afterward. This is not happening with every email, I have noticed ths morning. It now happens with email sent from (or to, as a reply) a yahoo account in Sweden and email sent from (or in reply to) a gmail account in Canada. These previously printed fine. Other emails will print maybe one extra page. There seems to be no rhyme or reason why it would suddenly start doing this. Should I look at the source code? What would I be looking for?

Change print driver settings on canon printer to select one or two sided printing

My Canon print driver prints double sided by default. I want to change to single sided, or be able to select single or double on a per document basis. How do I change my print driver settings?

Here is the solution I used.
The Print driver for Canon, UFRII will default to double sided printing.
Select a document, and select Print.
Open Presets and select Show Presets (this step may not be necessary)
Open Layout, then open Finishing. Change Prunt Style to One side or one page
Open Presets and Save Current Setting. At this point you can change the name of the preset (one page) and select if the chafe is for only the selected printer or all (Canon) printers.
This sure seemed harder than it should be.

Regarding Printer Tray Selection while running BI Publisher Report.

Hi All,
Below is my requirement.
When ever user tries to run the report, based on the customer code the printer tray has to be passed to printer so that the report gets printed by selecting the paper from the same tray. Each printer tray will have different paper color.
Let me know how can I achieve this? Its very urgent..
Thanks
Babu

hi,
Just now i identified that its not deleting the report but its reverting back the report to its previous version. Let me explain it you in details:
suppose i created a report with following query source as Oracle Database:
select territory_code from fnd_territories_tl
where LANGUAGE = USERENV ('Lang')
now if i modify the query in the same report to following query:
<dataTemplate name="dunningLetter" description="Dunning Letter Report" dataSourceRef="IPOVIS" defaultPackage="xx_shpckt_init" Version="1.0">
<parameters>
<parameter name="p_order_number" dataType="character"/>
</parameters>
<dataQuery>
<sqlStatement name="Q1">
<![CDATA[select order_number from oe_order_headers where order_number = :p_order_number
]]>
</sqlStatement>
</dataQuery>
<dataTrigger name="beforeReport" source="xx_shpckt_init.beforeReportTrigger"/>
</dataTemplate>
and then if i run the report again, the report will still show the result of previous query!! and then if i go back to data model then it will show the previous query there!! not sure why is it doing this way?? Also sometimes, when i create a new report and then view the result then it will revert its previous stage i.e report without Data model, LOVs and parameters!! That is the reason i thought its deleting the report while running report.
Please suggest why is it acting this way? Appreciate your help and time.
Thanks,
Regards,

Printing page selection

My Apple Macbook Pro's (Intel) 'Print Page' does not allow me to select non-successive pages for printing on my Brother printers, whereas my Dell PC allows it. Brother says to contact Apple. How do I get the right Presets or Apple software or PPD?

Thanks to Bernd Alheit and GKaiseril !
The docu for Version 11 is:

In the new docu for Version 11 I found the parameter which I looked for:
With PrintParams::printRange it is possible to print any selection of pages just in one print job. Multiple printing of a special pages is possible too.

How do I get my HP Printer to select US Letter instead of borderless letter

How do I get my HP Printer to select US Letter instead of borderless letter?

Thanks. As I understand it, you want your Print dialog to retain the most recently used settings. That's reasonable and I believe that is the way it is supposed to work.
You may consider the following a fix or a workaround. In the Print dialog you have the option of configuring your settings and saving them as a preset, as in the following screenshot:
"Presets" are in the dropdown menu near the top.
Does this work for you?
If not, and you are comfortable with creating a new priner queue (which it appears you are, since you already did it trying to troubleshoot) then try this:
Go to System Preferences > Print & Fax, select your printer by right-clicking the printer (control-click does the same thing). Select "reset printing system" from the menu that appears. Confirm that you know this will eliminate all your printers.
This may or may not result in different actions than removing and reinstalling the printer as you did.
Then, add the printer in the usual manner and see if that fixes anything.

Printer tray selection VS2010

We have the following questions regarding windows printer default tray determining tray to print from:
 
1. When we set m_reportClass.PrintOptions.PaperSource = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSource.FormSource, it defaults back to Auto (we can see that when we debug, it simply ignores the command) - why is that, and which option should we use to get the printer to use PrinterDefaultTray?
 
2. Default Printer impacts rpt. file even though "No Printer" is checked in the Page Setup dialog - so the default printer set on the developer PC opening the Page Setup of a .rpt file (not making a change, just opening) will change the file. Why is that and what change is made?
 
3. We have made a default 'dummy' printer on the developer pc which is used when opening the .rpt file. If a similar printer with the same name does not exist on the PC printing the report, we cannot control the tray that is prints from.
 
Is there a viewer that can show what has been changed inside an .rpt file to better understand what is happening to the file when it is opened in VS2010?
 
We are experiencing an issue with Crystal Reports VS2010 when trying to print reports to a specific tray. We have recently upgraded from .net 1.1 to .net 4.0 and in relation to this we also upgraded the CR version.
 
In the previous version we were able to setup windows printers with a specific default tray and when printing to this windows printer, the default tray of this windows printer was used. We have a range of printers being used in a client windows forms application, so we need to be able to continue letting the windows printer definition determine which tray to use. Preferable we would like to set PaperSource to UsePrinterDefaultTray, but that option does not seem to exist (or we have not found it yet). We have found another solution, but would like to understand why it works so we know that it is a viable solution.
 
The application is based on creating a report using the CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportClass. The example below has been shortened for readability:
 
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportClass m_reportClass = new new EKRB007A(); 
// create/get data for report 
// u2026 
m_reportClass.PrintOptions.PaperSize = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize.PaperA4; 
m_reportClass.FormatEngine.PrintOptions.PaperSize = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize.PaperA4; 
 
m_reportClass.SetDataSource(this.dataSet); 
 
CrystalDecisions.Shared.PageMargins pm = new CrystalDecisions.Shared.PageMargins( 
 this.getA4InvoicePrinterOriginalHorizontalAlignment(), 
 this.getA4InvoicePrinterOriginalVerticalAlignment(), 
 m_reportClass.PrintOptions.PageMargins.rightMargin, 
 this.getA4InvoicePrinterOriginalVerticalAlignment() ); 
 
m_reportClass.PrintOptions.ApplyPageMargins( pm ); 
 
// The name of the windows printer to use is read from parameters. 
m_reportClass.PrintOptions.PrinterName = this.getA4InvoicePrinterCopy(); // here it will return 'InvoicePrinter' 
 
m_reportClass.PrintToPrinter( 
 1, 
 true, 
 1, 
 m_reportClass.FormatEngine.GetLastPageNumber( new CrystalDecisions.Shared.ReportPageRequestContext())); 
The printer has the 'No Printer' set in the Page Setup dialog as we have different printers with different number of trays, so we need to be able to specify the printer at runtime (according to the VS2010 CR documentation, there should be two dialogs - Print Setup and Page Setup, but in VS2010, we can only find the Page Setup, and it includes some of the options from the old Print Setup dialog).
 
Developer A, has two printers: printer 'Generic Text' set to default and printer 'InvoicePrinter' (the one to print from as read from the paramter in the above code). The 'Generic Text' is a generic text printer with no trays and the 'InvoicePrinter' is an OKI printer with two trays. 
Developer B, has printer 'InvoicePrinter' set as default. 
Developer C, has two printers: printer 'SalesList' set to default and printer 'InvoicePrinter' 
Developer A sets up printer 'InvoicePrinter' to print in tray 1 (and 'Generic Text' is default printer). Then opens the .rpt file and compiles. If a print is made on the developer PC, it prints to the correct tray. We can change 'InvoicePrinter' to tray 2 and again it prints correctly. However, if the same .dll is deployed on Developer B's PC, and a print is made, it always uses the same tray even though the windows printer is changed (it actually uses the 'InvoicePrinter', but it ignores the tray it is configured to use). The same is the case for Developer C's PC.
 
We have tried to set m_reportClass.PrintOptions.PaperSource = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSource.FormSource and m_reportClass.PrintOptions.PaperSource = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSource.Auto, but it has no impact.
 
If Developer B adds a printer called 'Generic Text' (even though it is not to be used) AND sets this printer to be the default printer, then it works exactly as on Developer A's PC - meaning that the windows printer tray definition of 'InvoicePrinter' is used correctly.
 
Our solution rigth now is to install a 'dummy' printer on all developer PCs and on all client PCs. This printer must be set as default printer on developer PCs so when the Page Setup of any .rpt file is opened (yes, just opening it changes the file), the new file generated will be based on the 'Generic Text' printer. We will then change the default printer on client PCs just before printing to the 'Generic Text' printer and set it back to their 'normal' default afterwards.
 
In my dev team we all agree that this is not the optimal solutions, so any suggestions will be well received.

Use the InProc RAS SDK, not CR SDK. More functional, same licensing.

I installed 4.0 and cannot print anything. I uninstalled and installed 3.6 and cannot print anything. Everything has a .tif extension and wants me to save the file and I just want to print a selection from my email!

I have had nothing but grief since I upgraded to 4. It is hateful. I can't print anything. If I highlight something from a website or my email and tell the printer to just print the selection, it doesn't print. It wants me to save the the file and they all have a .tif extension and nothing will print. I have uninstalled 4 and gone back to 3.6 and the problem is still there. If I highlight the desired selection and copy it to Word 2003, it will print what I want, but I can't print anything from the browser itself. That is the only problem I'm aware of so far. I upgraded about a week ago at most, maybe less than that. I'm so sorry I did. Why can't I print anything? I don't want my selection to be a file, I just want it to print!

Thank you, but it didn't work. My printer stays on away, independently of the PC. I can print from Chrome and IE7 with no problem but not Firefox. The .tif extension refers to a tagged image something. I went looking around in the control panel and I found that Microsoft Office has it's own Access Snapshot Viewer. My company installed Office 2003 on my PC but I only use Word in my work. This snapshot viewer was listed in the control panel under Printers and Faxes. It was not the default anything but for some reason, Firefox 4 installation must have kicked it into gear. I've had the Office software for several months with not one problem. I have Firefox4 for less than a week and everything becomes difficult. I deleted the Office snapshot viewer (hope I don't get fired for it) so my little HP printer is the only one listed and now things seem to be working okay. I have FF 3.6 back up and running. I didn't lose any data and I hope the support and security updates stay available for a long time because it seems like there are plenty of people who aren't in love with FF4. Thank you so much anyway for your help.

Print/Save Selected Text to PDF

I want to use Mozilla Firefox very much for a long time. I like it because the UI is very clean, easy to use, the icon vey pretty. When I use in my Android Mobile, it is very easy and intelligent to select content of page site. Very good!
But I had to install Chrome instead so I've always been using "Print a selected content to PDF" but I couldn't find ways to do that with Firefox. Chrome is doing very good.
I searched all add-ons, pdf printer software but they are only saving or printing all the page (website) to PDF.
Please help me the ways to save a selected content to PDF. Thanks very much.

Hii hanh01001..

have a nice day :) :)

How to print a selection in Numbers

Using Numbers in Yosemite, I would like to print only a portion of a larger spreadsheet. This is easily accomplished using Excel by printing the selected cells. How is it achieved in Numbers. Thank you, Scott

Actually, I just found this explanation from Jerry that works; however it is a little circuitous:
" but you can duplicate the Excel process with just a couple of extra keystrokes:
Select the Area to be Printed and Command-C to copy your print area to the Clipboard.
Switch to Preview.app or Acrobat Pro and Command-N to create a PDF document containing your selection.
Command-P to Print.
It takes only a matter of seconds and the result is nearly identical to what you would get with Excel. If Preview is already running, you can Command-Tab to it to make the app switch. If it is not running you can launch it from the Dock, or use my favorite way, Spotlight. To launch an app from Spotlight, without taking your fingers off the keys, type Command-Spacebar, pre, and hit Return.
Give it a try and you may forget about this difference between Excel and Numbers."

How can I print a selection in Firefox 11 without it wasting paper and printing blank space in place of the non-selected material?

In Firefox 10 and before, I could select a small portion of a web page and it would print the selected portion on a single page. In Firefox 11, it prints blank space for the portion above my selection before printing my selection. This blank space could span several pages, and my printer prints those several blank pages with only headers and footers.

Still happens with Firefox 12. I wish they'd just fix it, the way it used to be in Firefox 10, without the complicated workaround suggested above.

How can I print a selection in Apple Mail?

I need help in printing selections in my emails that I recieve in Apple Mail Software. Can you help me on that please? I only want to print a selection of it, not the entire email.

Hi s,
One way would be to copy and paste into a text document. Another would be to do a screen shot (hold command shift and press 4, then drag across the area you want to capture and print it). Another would be to start a reply to the email or forward, then delete what you don't want and print it.
