Printing with specific atributes

Hello,
We have a java application that prints out some forms. We need these forms to be printed as double-sided. The approach that we are using is to call
printerJob.printDialog ()then we check if the selected printService supports double sided printing. If it is supported, then we are calling the print method with the attribute of double-sided:
printerJob.print (new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet (Sides.DUPLEX).However, this method has an issue in that the new settings that were provided in the print method (Sides.DUPLEX) will overwrite any settings that user has selected in the printDialog. This includes the range of pages to be printed.
The only possible way that i can think of is to use the printDialog of the java API (not the default OS printDialog), but i was looking for another way where i can still use the default OS printDialog.
In other words, I wish to keep all the settings that the user has selected and only amend the double-sided printing attribute.
Your help would be much appreciated.

We're running 10.4 but I think this can still work in 10.3.9.
In Workgroup Manager create a group of computers for the eMacs you want to have access to the printer. Add the computers to the group. Select the group and edit the preferences>printing. Select the printers you want the managed group to see. Reboot the clients. You should have the printer you desire. You may want to select in the same window that users are not permitted to edit the printer list so that the users cannot add printers.
As far as other machines not being able to print to that printer. Select all other machines or groups of machines and simply make sure that the printer is not part of their managed printers list.
As it is a newer printer you may need to shut off the bonjour broadcasting of the printer as each local subnet mac will be able to see it regardless of printers selected above.
This way of handling the problem requires total commitment to managing all clients printers (if you require only your eMac group to have access).
Others may have better ideas, but this should work.

Problems to print contacts with specific fields under Maverick.

I am unable to print contacts with specific, selected fields like `firm´ or `position´under Mavericks. The selected fields will not show up in the printing preview and not be printed at all. Any ideas?

Thanks, John! It seems you guessed correct, partly at least. I turned some of the problamatic fields off and on again an these are showing up now and I can print them. Great!
However, I can see the field "firma" (German = company in English) in the previewed sample card but not in the pull down menu "Add Field". That means, I am unable to turn it off/on. The intersting thing: The field is visible and selectable even in the printer dialog were you can select the fields you would like to print but it remains unprintable.
Again, many thanks, John!

How can I print out specific categories on my outlook calendar

After downloading latest version of Icloud. I am not able to print out specific categories on icloud calendar

I tried this Finder drag method & discovered that it is very important to set the blank TextEdit document to plain text before the drag (from the format menu or with Cmd-shift-t). If you don't, TextEdit attempts to load the content of the files!
Once I discovered this, I tried the method with Find (Cmd-F) results & it works for that, too. This means that by choosing the right combination of search location(s) & search criteria, you can extend the method to filter the list to just about any files you want, which could be very handy.
For instance, set the "Kind" criteria to "QuickTime Movie" & location to "Computer" & you get a list of every QT movie. Or set the search location to the folder containing the movies of interest & you get all of them, including ones in subfolders. You could also use the 'date created' or other search criteria to filter the list to a specific subset of movies (or whatever).
If you need to do this often, you could create one or more 'Smart Folders' with the criteria preloaded for each search.
The only drawback I see for either Finder based method is the full path one. If you are getting results from just one or a few folders, Find & Replace can delete any of the path name fairly easily, but it becomes a chore if there are a lot of different ones. Some other text editor, like TexEdit Pro, that supports grep searches would be handy here, but since I'm not up to speed on grep, someone else will have to explain how to use it for this, if they want.

How to print a specific page from the internet

I have tried to print a specific page, and get about seven pages that are linked to it, without
seeing the specific page I wanted printed out. The page settings under printer only lists header and footer
info, and no choices to print only this page or frame. There is no way to print one specific page on this printer?
I always was able to do this with the Epson printer I just replaced, but unable to with this printer.
Please help! There must be a way to do this when printing from the internet. Thanks for any help.

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
I don't have any idea what you are trying to print, nor do I wish to know. Smiling.
The key may be to control this in Print Preview like you would with most things when you are printing from a Browser.

I had same problem with Reader v11 and tried many of the suggestions. Finally I read a question, have you tried the Repair Adobe Reader Installation? I had not and thought perhaps it was in Windows 7 control panel/programs where there are sometime options to repair. In this case, the link is in the Reader Help menu. I ran it, had to restart computer, and pdf files print now! Good Luck

Printing With HP LaserJet 1022 Has Stopped!

Hi All,
I have had my Express and HP printer for a year never had any problems, my configuration is this. My AirPort Express connects to my wireless NETGEAR router, my HP is plugged into the AirPort Express. Yesterday I changed the password on the router and had to reconfigure the AirPort since then all **** has broken lose... I just cannot print, the printer can't be found or added! How is this even possible, if nothing has changed and it was all working before!? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

HP has simply abandoned the 1022 printer on Snow Leopard. For a time there was a HP software engineer posting here, gathering information from users, advising us that they were working on the 1022 driver. He even sent a beta driver to several people with specific problems. Then he suddenly disappeared and we haven't seen or heard from him since. My 1022 works fine with the Snow Leopard supplied driver, except for the manual duplex option which no longer exists. Others report that their 1022 only prints every other page or stops after a couple of pages. There is a very long thread here about the 1022 problems. The HP guy's name was Andrew but, as I said, he vanished. 1022 owners were starting to get testy and frustrated so maybe he just got tired of trying to help.
As for me, I will never buy an HP printer again because of this abandonment.
See this link for the original 1022 thread...

HP Photosmart C5580 and MacBook Pro Snow Leopard wireless printer with router

I have a macbook pro OSX operating system and a C5580 HP Photosmart printer. I have spent hours with netgear as I did purchase a new router getting my macbook pro to print wirelessly. Whatever the fix it is temporary and my private tech has to take control of my computer to get to work again.
1. am I printing with bluetooth? through router?
2. what is happening whenever it gets out of sync and how can I fix myself?
3. computer says "idle" but shows device connected. I can print test page wirelessly, but not current document. Documents print when I connect with usb cable.
I felt I should contact HP since I think it is their problem though netgear has been very helpful. I understand that I do need USB to scan, but shouldn't have to have it to print. We have downloaded all of the most current drivers and software.

Tell me about your network - router brand/model, encryption type (WEP, WPA, etc) and ISP type (DSL, Cable, etc).
If you loaded the HP software from the printer CD and unless your CD says it specifically supports 10.6 Snow Leopard, you must uninstall the software using the 'scrubber' option:
Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ click on HP Uninstaller
Click on Continue
Highlight your device on the left pane
Hold the Ctrl, Opt and Cmd keys and click on Uninstall
There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL hp software. (At this point, if you continue, any HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
Click Continue and let it finish
Restart your Mac
Now, run a Software Update.
Next, remove and re-install the printer in System Preferences, Print & Fax.
You do not need the software now since Snow Leopard has both print & scan drivers built-in. Scan from Preview or Image Capture apps. Scanning from the front panel of the printer does not yet work.
Answers:
1. No, routers don't do bluetooth. If they are wireless routers they use wi-fi (802.11).
2. I don't know, you have not told me enough about your symptoms or system.
3. Same as #2.

OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus - N911g - refuses to print with an exhausted cartridge (yellow)

Hi,
I owned this printer some months ago, and I have already substituted the black cartridge some times ago.
In fact, I usually use the b&w option to print my documents, and I use very little to no colors, instead.
Before deciding to buy this printer I had read the printer guide, which reports (translated from Italian):
[Printing with one or more cartridges exhausted]
The printer can work with one or more cartridges exhausted. However, printing with exhausted cartridges slows the printing process down and lowers the quality of the documents printed. If the black cartridge is exhausted, blacks are not going to be really dark. If a color cartridge is exhausted, the result is in the grey scale. As soon as possible, replace the exhausted cartridge. Don't remove the exhausted cartridge before you can replace it with a new one. [...]
(screenshot attached)
The downloadable user-guide reports (no translation):
[Color cartridge very low on ink]
To temporarily print using black ink only, click Cancel Print and then re-send the print job. The
Use black ink only? message appears before the job prints. The empty cartridges will need to be
replaced soon.
(screenshot attached)
So, when I decided to go for this printer, knowing I substantially use black only for my studies and my work, I did take care of reading the entire printer guide and look for these specific official declarations by HP on the printer functionalities.
Additionally, I took care of disabling any HP protection and pages control on the cartridges before installing them, using the printer menu.
Today, instead, I've found out the printer won't print with an exhausted yellow cartridge. This is what the message window says (translated freely, again, from Italian):
[Exhausted cartridge]
HP 951 SETUP Yellow
Replace the cartridges in the list to be able to print.
HP advises not to remove the cartridge until you have a replacement one ready for installation.
Buttons are: [Buy online...] [Cancel printing] [?]
(screenshot attached)
[?] leds to the words I've reported earlier.
I still have the "print just with the black cartridge" option enabled.
I tried cancelling the print and sending the print job again multiple times, as it is described in the guide, but no "Use black ink only?" message appears.
Before invoking and thinking to the "fraud", I ask, how am I going to be able to print, then?

The manual indicates the printer can temporarily use black only once a color cartridge is low. Once the cartridge is depleted it will need to be replaced, otherwise damage to the printed may occur.
HP and other printer manufacturers have different printer technologies for different needs.
Some have printheads built into the ink cartridges. These printers can typically print with one or more of the colors completely empty, or even with color or black (but not both) cartridges removed. The Deskjet 6980 series is an example.
Other printers have separate ink supplies and replaceable printheads. An example would be the Officejet 8600. The printhead in these printers can be replaced if they are damaged by running the printhead with colors out. Some of these printers will allow printing with a color out, other will not. If the printer is run without ink in one or more colors the printer may be damaged, but the user may be able to recover without having to send the printer for service.
Other printers have permanent printheads. To run these without some ink in all the colors would risk causing damage to the printhead due to clogs, air ingested in the printheadvor burned out printhead firing resistors. The Photosmart 3310 series is an example of this type of printer. For printers with fixed printheads this could require service to get the printer to print properly again when the ink is finally replaced.
The document here describes how ink is used. While the document is written for HP Inkjet printers the same principles apply to inkjet printers from other manufacturers.

Printing with HP PSC1210 All in one printer

Hello all,
Anyone out there had any luck finding a driver for the HP PSC1210xi all in one printer with Snow Leopard? I had basic printing functionality under Leopard and would just like to have the same under Snow Leopard. As a workaround, I am able to still print and scan just fine using Windows XP running in VMWare Fusion, so, I am not dead in the water. However, I would like to just get basic printing capability restored in Snow Leopard.
Thanks all.

OK, so I have some bad news. FIrst, unfortunately the print drivers for the PSC1210 are not available yet. They will be available at some point in the future through an Apple Software Update. Second, since HP never posted a 10.5 driver package for your device, there is nothing for you to download to try to get things at least functioning.
That being said, you may have some luck with the Gutenprint drivers or others. There isn't a driver specifically for the PSC 1210, but the one for the PSC 1215 may work.
HP is aware of the problem, and I know I am trying to do everything in my power to solve it as soon as possible.
Just trying to help.

Batch Printing with Desktop Printer

I have been batch printing with a desktop printer to a ethernet connected xerox phaser printer. The files are doc files that I drop onto the desktop printer to automatically print anywhere from 10-30 files at a time. I either use TextEdit or Pages as the default program for the files so I do not have to deal with the print dialog box that comes up with Microsoft Word. My problem is that if I send 20 files for example, only a certain number of them will actually print and the job of printing all of them is not completed. It appears random. Sometimes it may get through 5 and othertimes 15 files before it stops. There is no error message and it seems as if everything was sent to the xerox printer fine...
Any advise would be appreciated

I spoke with Xerox support. They suggest typing your printers IP address in a browser, clicking on PROPERTIES, select GENERAL from the file menu on the left, then select PRINTER DEFAULTS. Change Timeout Settings from a default of 120 to 999.
Apparently the printer drops info if it takes longer than a specific duration so if there is network traffic or a large number of files are being sent all at once.
I just changed my settings so we shall see if this works

Bill of lading via printer with trays

Dear gurus,
We print our bill of lading with a laser printer with trays. in tray three there are the predifined papers for the bill of lading. that is 4 papers in different colors which are exactly the same. If I do not have to many items on my bill of lading it is printed perfectly and by saying I want 4 print outs we have 4 duplicates on different coloured paper. However, some times the cmr has too many items and it will fill two pages. Then the first two coloured papers are one crm. What I need is to find a way that I can program that if the bill of lading will be more then 1 page, he will print the first page 4 times and then the second bill of lading page , also 4 times so in the end I will have 4 coloured duplicates of every bill of lading page. On this moment I do not have any clew....any advice is welcome.......

Hi,
Can you be more specific on what you need on BOL.
BOL number is a manually entered number on the delivery and shipment documents. No configuration needed.
Additionally BOL can be used as tracking number from the small package carrier. You need to set-up the small package carrier in SAP and using the 3rd party software.
Once the data is provided, next step is printing BOL. This can be done by setting-up the output determination and then using the appropriate SAPScript/webforms etc.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks
Dharmesh

Converting word to pdf in A4 with specific margins

I need all my new forms designed in Word and converted into pdf to be in A4 size with specific sized margins top, bottom, left and right as per Standards guidelines. Do I need to set up Acrobat to do this or will it just convert exactly from MS Word margins? Are there preferences or properties I need to set up first for Adobe Acrobat.

Acrobat works with page layouts that are already fixed before it starts, it has no idea of a margin. So all the setup is in Word. Word sometimes changes layout as the PDF is made. To minmize this, choose the Adobe PDF printer before making the PDF (even if you don't directly use the printer).

File name to print with your image (PS3)

Hi,
I'm working on about 20ish photoshop images that have a specific name to match up to a diagram, so when I print them I need the file name lable to appear on the print with it. Additionally when I send them off to clients, I need to have that file name lable visable on the pg of the pdf while looking at the image so they know which one is which. The collected multi pg pdf needs to be under 3megs (5 mgs max) so it is easily emailable.
I'm trying to find an automated or an easier way to do this than what I am doing one by one now. I tried to set up a PS action which I would batch to all open files but, becuase of the two step print dialogue it gives me an error saying all the settings weren't recorded, thus it doesn't work.
What I'm doing now:
1. Cmd+P to print, in the print dialogue under the "output" drop down I have "Labels" checked
2. Hit print, then my printer driver dialogue box pops up, then in the lower left corner I click the button "PDF" and "Save as a PDF" (This produces an acceptable quality pdf at a sm size)
3. I'm able to save it by the file name with .pdf extension and specify the folder to save it into.
4. Repeat 20ish times for each file
5. In Acrobat create a pdf out of multiple files
6. Then make a print of all of them together for myself
7. Email to client
Can anyone help me figure out a way to stream line this procedure, there must be a way, this is way to time consuming?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks Dave but that is a very restricting way of doing this. Anyway I have worked it out.
Get script "AddFilename20pt.jsx" from http://www.jkost.com/photoshop.html
Place script in scripts folder in SC5
restart PS
Use script within an action to size and place the file name where you want over the image. Bevel emboss, drop shadow do what you want with it.
It is found under > File > Scripts > AddFilename20t
Done.

Printing with black ink only

I have a HP photosmart c6280. I only want to print in black only but my colored ink keeps expiring and needs to be replace too frequently. I have tried grayscale but it still drains my color ink. what can be done about this?????

Greetings!
Go to your 'Control Panel' and look up your specific printer under your Hardware and Sound. Under your printer 'preferences' choose black ink only. No guarantee, but that'll usually do it. Just ensure you 'mutually' verify under advanced options just prior to actually printing anything that you are choosing the 'black ink only' method. Some printers inevitably still print with color because the print head can overheat with friction as the head module is still commanded to assist the black ink cartridge to spit out a small amount of ink no matter what. It's a software and hardware paradox but some inkjets work off this principle that you still need to have the ink -ever so slightly- but still coming out of the print head head to complete the dark black. (I know, it sounds weird, but that's out of my realm for being able to explain the manufacturers...) Hope that helps... Cheers!

How to create PDF from text file with specific layout?

I wanted to create the pdf from text file in specific layout - Landscape orientation and JIS B3 Page size while at Adobe Acrobat Pro.
In past, I could do a right click on a text file (desktop area) and select print to print out the document into .pdf BUT only if I set the Adobe PDF to Landscape and JIS B3 Page size BEFORE. And I could only do 15 text documents at once.
I wanted to see if I could do the create the pdf from text file with specific layout in Adobe Acrobat without having to go to Control Panel to preset the Adobe PDF to specific layout at every time. I would have to set Adobe PDF back to normal layout after I'm done with these pdf print outs. I do lots of pdfs in normal layout. Sometimes I would forget to do that.
So, How do I do that?

No such luck. It would output the contents in letter size even in JIS B3 Page layout at MS word.
Is there a script or action where I could set the orientation and page size before creating PDF on these text files?
