Print Preview Application changed - HELP

My Problem is that when I press the Preview button (or the preview as PDF in the PDF submenu) in the Print dialog it brings up the QuickTime player application instead of the Preview application.
I already selected the document of interest and used the Get Info window to set Preview as the application to open the document. Even did this for all documents of this type. This is NOT the problem.
I want Preview to open when I click on the Preview button in the Print dialog, not the QuickTime Player.
How / where can I fix or delete the preview settings so Preview is the application behind the Preview button in the Print dialog?
Thank you.
PS: someone else has the same problem under 10.4

As I have read a thread somewhere else, where someone had this problem with Adobe Reader instead of Quicktime, and had it solved with deleting the Adrobe Reader, I deleted QuickTime - and now the +Print Preview+ opens Safari.
So it's still HELP

Help! QuickTime used as Print Preview

How do I stop Quicktime 7.2 from being used as the Print Preview application? Everytime I print, it goes through Quicktime instead of Print Preview!!!

This is my vote of no confidence in Apple Tech Support. Before you read too far, here are the simple answers, none of which 3 different Apple techs were able to get after over 2 hours of hard phone time screwing up my system.
1) The application "Preview" should not be renamed, such as "Preview 3.0.9". This is the reason print previews went to Quicktime. How many other things has Apple not locked as system-critical? Not being allowed to name and organize my applications into folders the way I want anymore is hugely lame especially since they aren't locked otherwise.
2) An application called "File Merge" exists on your Mac OSX install disc 1 at Xcode Tools/Packages/DeveloperTools.pkg. This allows you to compare folders of your files (or the files themselves) to sort the mess when Apple screws it up.
http://www.macworld.com/weblogs/macosxhints/2006/03/cmpfldr/
3) A software application called "Pacifist" exists (VersionTracker.com?) which allows you to view and extract software from ".pkg" files, without doing a complete install.
Nope, instead Apple Support had me set Quicktime mime prefs to "Use defaults", (no effect), then Printer Setup Utility>Reset, which deleted all my printers and print profiles, and still had no effect on the problem.
At which point they had me run a total Archive & Install off the install discs. I knew at the time I should have run away kicking and screaming at this brute force one-size-fits-all answer to solving problems. I thought we only did system reinstalls to fix everything on Windoze systems? This took much longer than 2 hours so I had to call back the following day. Sure it solved the problem only because a "new" application named "Preview" was in the folder along with newly lamed "Preview 3.0.9" (which cannot save rotated .jpg files--maybe it can't save at all) and the old "Preview 2.1.0" (which has no problems saving files and was better before they "improved" it). If you needed a fresh copy of just this application, you could extract it from System/Installation/Packages/Essentials.pkg with the software above and not do an entire reinstall. Instead Windoze systems seem to be the Genius here in that they figure out something is missing, instruct the user to insert the install disc, auto-extract the missing piece alone, install it and then you're done.
After the reinstall, half of my stuff is in a "Previous Systems" folder (such as all my Desktop Pictures, Internet Plug-ins, Keychains, etc.) and half the stuff is incorporated into the new system. By the way, nothing is in the Previous System/Users folder which they kept puzzling over. And no, they had no clue that on that very same Install Disc of Disaster is the File Merge program to help sort out which of these million identical-looking folders contains my stuff.
On top of finding my stuff, I still have to redo all the software updates back to system 10.4.10 and the security updates and who knows how many MORE HOURS of computer maintenance.
They were really sales-pitching the AppleCare program every time I called. But why would I when I can spend hours reinstalling and reconfiguring software myself? I don't need a tech support line for that, I need people who know how their product works.

Needing a 'print preview' capability for HP Officejet Pro 8600 (model N911a)

Please provide a 'print preivew' capability via the HP 'print window' for the 8600 Pro.
I purchased this machine in early April 2014 after the prior printer (photosmart 410) 'threw-up' ink inside the printer. The software with that Photosmart 410, prior (and perhaps some current) HP printers provide a 'print preview' capability.
I have several systems (some Windows Vista; some Win-7). All are current with maintenace (including HP S/W & drivers).
The printer is ethernet-cable connected to a 'switch' and in-turn ethernet-cable connected to a wireless router. Some PCs are also ethernet-cable connected; others are wireless connected.
The ability to do a 'print preview' via the HP S/W is not available on any system (i.e. via the 'print' window or subsequent windows, like 'Properties' or 'Advanced').
While some applications have a print preview capability, not all do. Having that capability via the printer 'window (i.e via HP provide S/W) is necessary - it is useful to make sure formating is proper, allows for subsequent changes if needed, and provides the abiloity to see and select the printing of only some pages.
This issue and request has been raised several times - going back to 2012. Just do a search on the Forum using keywords '8600' and 'preview'. The following are a couple instances:
1) http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Software-Drivers/Automatic-print-preview/m-p/1529879...
2) http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Software-Drivers/Where-is-Print-Preview/m-p/3299717/...

Hi DragonflyFairy,
I understand you would like to know how to get the print preview when printing from the internet.
Depending on what browser you are using, you should have the option to do the print preview.
I have provided 3 different browsers with how to get to the print preview.
Internet Explorer: Go to file, print preview and make your adjustments.
Google Chrome: Go to the icon in the top right corner and click the icon with the 3 lines, click print, make your changes.
Firefox: Click on the tab Firefox dropdown and select print, print preview. Change your settings.
If you are missing the print preview, take a peek at these documents to see if it will help.

On my 10.6.8, my preview application disappeared and all my documents are coming up as color sync utility. So I can't print anything. HELP!

Where did my preview application go? I have been trying to print documents but everything is coming up under color sync utility, which I don't even know what it is, and there is no "Print" option. All the previous questions about this problem say to go to Preview, but it has gone away. I've looked in Finder and Apps and had both my 20 something children look for it, and none of us know what to do next.
I have a 10.6.8 Mac using Google Chrome as my server, if that matters.

Download Find File for Mac If that piece of software can't find it, you can custom install Preview directly from the disc that came with your Mac when you purchased. It's inside disc #1. Follow the online instructions.

Not able to print preview or print Smartform after the changes

Hi Experts,
I made a small change to the smartform, saved it and activated it. Transport it to our QAS system for testing.
But while trying to print preview the form i am not able to see any print/print preview. After my debug in the report that calls the form i found that at
call function G_FM_NAME it is not importing any values at all.
There was no change made on report or call function, we only change it on the smartform.
Could somebody tell me what might be the problem.
Thank you
Mamatha

i have no clue what your problem is, it would be too much of a guessing.
But i have a way how you can find out what the problem is:
After your "CALL FUNCTION fm_name"
adopt your coding with following:
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_READ_ERRORS'
IMPORTING
errortab = yy_lt_errors.
ENDIF.
this will give you a list of errors if there are any.
Then have a look at that internal table, see the errornumbers and goto SE91 for outputclass "SSFCOMPOSER" and check what the message behind your error class is.
This has helped me quite often.

Print & Print Preview in JSP application?

Hi,
I moved from swing to JSP. Trying to convert same Swing
application to JSP application.In the swing application I used
PRINT method in JPanel classes which implements PRINTABLE
interface to format and print the data to the printer. Also I
developed my own class to print preview the data(on a JFrame)
before sending to the printer. So, each screen had print and
print preview abilities.
Now I’d like to have this functionality in JSP application too.
Would appreciate to advice me if I could used same print preview
java class(developed for swing application) in JSP application.
If yes, please explain how. If No, please advice me how could I
have print and print preview ability in JSP application.
Any idea would appreciated.
Thanks...Ali

Hi,
I am asking the JSP team to look at your question to see if
they can help you.
As you probably know, many java client functionalities will
not map to JSP client functionality. That is why some people
still prefer a java client if they want a richer UI.

Preview application does not print images correctly sized

The Preview application does not show me what size the image will print out.
It defaults to Scale to Fit: Print entire image.
The % in the Scale: window seems to be what the % turns out to be, depending on which Scale to Fit: is selected.
If I click into Scale:, and then change the %, when I hit Return, it prints immediately without allowing me to preview what size the change actually looks like. Need to change that behavior!!! Can't see how to do it.
Probably want the default setting to be Scale: 100% but can't figure out how to do that.
ALSO the Preferences / Images setting has two choices.
But playing with the Define 100% scale as just changes the size of the image in the Preview viewing window. The PRINT menu still has the same default and the same Scale: % size. No matter which I select, the PRINT default is still the same %.

OR....

Preview.app in Snow Leopard has removed the option to print without scaling, and recreating this behaviour with the remaining options is quite complex and requires 4 extra steps. Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a document in Preview.app, such as a PDF, of a known paper size.
2. Select 'File' > 'Print…'
3. Change the paper size to one where the default scale value with the default 'Scale to Fit:' 'Print Entire Image' is not 100%. This step is often unnecessary, as many documents will require reduction to include margins, even if the paper sizes match.
4. Select 'Scale:'
5. Select the scale % value.
6. Delete the scale value.
7. Input '100' in the scale value box using the keyboard.
8. Press tab to avoid radar #7256827.
9. Click 'Print' Expected Results:
Click on a single option to print at 100%, if by chance that wasn't the default option. This would have been one step. Actual Results:
Does what it says. Steps 4 through 8 are necessary to print at 100% in most cases. Regression:
This behaviour was as expected in OS X 10.5.x and previous versions, or we wouldn't be having this discussion. Notes:
Printing at 100% is the only scaling that is common enough to warrant a button to make it an easy one to get to. Preview.app itself even has an 'Actual Size' toolbar button, but has removed this function for printing.
Graphic designers (and other professionals) or specific applications (such as printing on pre-cut or pre-printed paper, labels, or DVDs) can commonly require printing at 100%, and using PDF to distribute documents makes Preview.app the most logical choice for many printing jobs.
Having something other than 100% as a default can cause expensive media to be ruined by a mis-scaled printout, unless these 4 (+1) steps are followed every time.
Most other apps, including Safari, Mail.app and TextEdit default to no scaling, making Preview.app an exception. I am an architect and this is really annoying!
Does anyone know a workaround?

Thank you for your kind consideration of my problem. Up until the software started to print blank pages the preview pane always showed the selected print within the selected layout. Something has changed. Lightroom will print to the JPEG file but only a blank page on the Epson 2880. I've been in contact with Epson support and an IT tech and they tell me the problem is with Lightroom. I'm at my wits end and thinking of upgrading but the glitch may carry over. Uninstalling and reinstalling and deleting the preferences file did nothing to rectify the situation.
Thanks again!

Hi, I've just installed mavericks but my HPc4180 will not print and is showing a 'blank' page in previews can anyone help me?

A few suggestions for you:
Try:
uninstall all HP utilities or other HP apps on your Mac
see if there is updated software on the HP website
go to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners > Print
control-click on your printer in the column on the left
select "Reset Printing System..." and "reset" in the dialog that follows
Do a factory reset on your printer
go back to printers & scanners and it should see your printer and download a driver for it from Apple

Is there a way of printing the file name from within the Preview application?

If I'm printing a file within Apple's Preview application, I sometimes want to be able to print the file name at the edge of the document. Does anyone know of way of doing this?

Thanks for replying, that goes some way to answering the question, but I'm also looking to see how much space each app and its associated documents are using, i.e. Pages comes in at 112Mb for the app alone, but I'd like to know how much space is being used by the documents as well.
Once again thanks,
SG
