PSE 10 Printer Setting Defaults to Rear Tray

I have PSE 10. My OS is Windows 7. My printer is a Canon MG6120. The default print tray selected for the computer and all programs is the Cassette. It was selected under Devices and Printers (path: Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and Printers). All my programs accept the cassette as the default paper source or Tray, except for PSE 10.
In all other programs, I manually change the Paper Source for rear tray selection through the Printer Properties dialogue window. However, the paper source for my PSE 10, after manually changing from Tray: Rear Tray to Tray: Cassette, resets back to Tray: Rear Tray after printing and even after using the Change Settings and Advanced Settings dialogue windows.  Please see the image insert.
I generally print on bond paper. The rear tray is normally closed. If I'm want to print on photo paper, I open the rear tray and insert the photo paper. I verify that I have the printer set to use the rear tray. After printing on photo paper (from any program) I reset the paper source back to cassette.
My questions are, "How do I correct or override PSE 10's automatic resetting of the paper source to the Rear Tray. How do I convince PSE 10 to accept the front-loading cassette as the default paper source?"
PSE10 also insists on reverting to Landscpe orientation. Please see the image insert.
My questions are, "How do I correct or override PSE 10's automatic resetting of the paper Orientation to Landscape. How do I convince PSE 10 to accept Portrait as the default orientation?"
Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

Thanks for responding.
As I stated in my first paragraph, "The default print tray selected for the computer and all programs is the Cassette. It was selected under Devices and Printers (path: Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and Printers)."
The path I note for Windows 7 is exactly the same for Windows 8, sort of surprised you missed that. As you can see, before submitting to the forum, I addressed everything you mentioned; it did not solve the problem. I've updated the Canon driver and restarted the computer; it did not solve the problem. I made auto-select and portrait orientation the defaults; it did not solve the problem.
Hopefully someone else has a solution or can tell me what's causing the problem. Right now I'm guessing it's some kind of PSE .dll corruption. I hope it is not something in the registry. A little later on I'll uninstall and then reinstall PSE 10 see if that works.
Thanks for taking the time to insert the screen shot.

  • Selecting Epson RX700 printer rear tray

    When I had my Epson RX700 printer (all-in-one) connected to a Windows PC, I could select either front or rear paper trays for printing. With Mountain Lion, I have not been able to find any way to select a tray and have to accept a default depending on the type of paper being used and the print quality (standard plain paper and normal print draws from the front tray, photo paper and photo-quality print draws from the rear tray). This is OK until I need to print to stiff card using normal print quality - then the paper feed in the front fails and I get the "paper out" message. I can use the rear tray but only by selecting photo paper and photo-quality printing, which is both very slow and uses a vast amount of ink. Does anyone know of a way to select the rear tray but retaining the plain paper and normal print attributes?

    You need to read the user manual that came w/the printer.  Some things will will on a Windows comp but not on a Mac or a particular OS version.  If the user manual is of no help, call Epson and/or visit their troubleshooting website.
    I have an Epson printer that can automatically print the front & back of paper.  However, this does not work in ML. Not compatible *yet.*

  • My MG5220 won't print an original 3 page document from rear tray.

    I have only recently had trouble printing original documents from rear tray.  I have completed maintenance ( cleaning), checked paper media, etc.  I have checked page set-up, etc.  I think I am overlooking something that is obvious but I can't see the forest for the trees.  Please advise.  Thanks!

    Hi Kashmie,
    To try and resolve the issue, with a flashlight or other bright light, please check the paper feed area of the printer and verify that there are no paper jams or obstructions in the printer that may be causing the paper not to feed.  Once this has been done, please look inside of the printer where the inks are located and ensure that there are no obstructions in there that may be causing the print head not to move freely.  Next, please remove and reseat all of the ink tanks in the printer.  Once all of these steps have been performed, if you still experience difficulty, please call or email us at one of the methods on the Contact Us page for further assistance.

  • How can I choose my printer's rear tray on my MacBook?

    Hello everyone,
    I have something strange going on on my MacBook when it comes to printing...
    I would love to be able to print address labels, photos etc. on actual labels and photo paper using the rear tray of my printer (Canon MG5150). The weird thing is that I cannot for the life of me find the option to choose the rear tray. I have expanded the print dialogue to show all possible options, but there's absolutely no way to choose my printer's paper source. So I'm stuck with the standard cassette, which I do not dare use for anything thicker than normal printing/copying paper. Everything else printer-wise works fine from the MacBook, I just can't select the paper source (regardless which programme I'm working in on the MacBook).
    Something else I've tried is downloading the latest printer driver from Canon. No joy there though, doesn't make a blind bit of difference. I've also tried opening programmes using Rosetta just in case, but that doesn't seem to change anything either.
    My iMac never presented me with this problem; it always let me print from whichever paper source I wanted (using the same Canon printer). Some background info: my MacBook has Mac OS 10.6.8 on it, my iMac Mac OS 10.4. Could it have something to do with the operating system? They are both Intel, aren't they, so why would the options be there on one Mac, but not the other?
    So, where could my menu options have disappeared to?? Have Apple changed their printing dialogues for the worse or something? It seems such a shame I can't use my MacBook to its full potential and have to resort to roundabout ways of being able to do what I want. I'm hoping it's something really obvious, and that someone can help me.
    Thanks for any advice!
    Kind regards,
    Esther

    Hello-
    You can restore network defaults on the printer.
    Press the Setup icon. Then go to Network Menu, scroll down to "restore network defaults".
    This should clear any "Admin" settings that were set.
    Then you can turn radio on and run the wireless wizard to get back on network.
    I hope this helps.

  • Won't print from rear tray

    I have a Pixma MG6220. No matter what I do it won't print from the rear tray from a source on the web. I go to both the quick setting and main tab and select "rear tray." Still prints from cassette. I took out the paper from the cassette. Won't print unti I load paper in the cassette. I even selected a different paper than plain paper and selected rear tray - but it still printed from the cassette.
    I selected "continuous autofeed" for a default, removed paper from the cassette - and it still wouldn't print from paper loaded in the rear tray.
    It will print from the rear tray if it's a document originating from my computer (or at least I just tried that and it worked). I did not change from plain paper, I only had to select rear tray.
    Yes, I realize "save the document to your computer" will be a suggestion, but the website won't let me. It's a "free printable" that is not downloadable.

    Hello.
    The issue may also be related to a setting in your web browser.  Check to see if your browser has a Page Setup option.  This menu may be controlling the paper feed setting.
    If the issue persists, please try using a different web browser to test the unit.

  • Printer Default to Photo Tray

    Hello all, I am trying to change my printer's default settings. I need to change the default paper size from "US Letter" to 4x6. It is a HP Printer. I am printing files via Applescript. An applescript command or just a way to change the default setting would be great.
    Thanks,
    Ryan

    How do I print in black and white?  not sure where to change that.  It used to show up in the print box but there doesn't seem to be in the pop up that comes with this software?
    Can I print a full page photo?  How do I go around the print tray?

  • How can I print from my MacBook Pro to Canon MP560 using rear tray?  I can't find that "option" in the print selection possibilities.

    How can I print from my MacBook Pro to Canon MP560 using rear tray?  I can't find that "option" in the print selection possibilities.

    Sure can.
    With a document open in Pages, select to print so that you can see the print dialog as shown below.
    Note that to see this view, you may need to press the Show Details button in the bottom left corner. In the image above, since I have the expanded view displayed, this button changes to Hide Details
    So with the view shown, first change the Presets menu to Default Settings. Then click the Layout drop menu and select Quality & Media. Make the changes you want and then click on the Presets menu and select Save Current Settings as Preset...
    At the next window, give the Preset a name and select the Only this Printer radio button and then click OK to save it. That's it.
    As for the Preset that you already have, if you no longer want this preset then you can delete it via the Show Presets menu pane that you've used already.

  • MX890 only prints from rear tray/Mac

    My MX890 printer always wants to print from the rear tray.  I have set the option in the printer window to print from the cassette.  I even change the "automatic feed" in the print dialogue window that comes up on my computer to "cassette," and it still gives me the msg that there is no paper in the rear tray.  It used to work if I did this, but now has stopped working.  How the heck to I fix this?  I'm using a MacBook Pro running Yosemite.  I have updated all the recommended software/drivers from the Canon website.  Thanks
    Ellen

    Hi ellenann9424,
    The machine will automatically feed paper from the rear tray when media types other than plain paper (such as photo paper) are selected in the printer driver, or on the printer itself when printing.  If you have already verified that the cassette is selected as the paper source in the printer driver and on the printer itself, please ensure that the paper type selected in both locations is set to plain paper, as all other media types will attempt to feed from the rear tray, even if the cassette is selected as the paper source.
    Hope this helps!

  • How can I print from my IMAC with Mavericks OS to the Canon MP560 printer's rear tray?

    I have just moved from a Windows platform to Imac.  On Windows, in Word, I was able to select where the paper was feeding (automatically select, rear tray, etc.) but now I can't select rear tray.  I've already tried the "Quality & Media" under presets but was not given an option to change where the paper comes from.  Can anybody help?

    You need to turn on Printer Sharing on both the PC and OS X. I can't help you on Vista but in OS X it's System Preferences - Sharing - check the Printer Sharing box.

  • Set Default Printer based on user setting using Powershell script

    Hi 
    I would like to create a script that runs on user log off and captures the default printer (set manually by the user) and then another script to reapply the settings (saved upon log off) when the user logs back in.
    This is because local printers are set as default printer (PDF Creator Programs) when we all use Network Printers so this means a user has to set default printer to the network printer all the time.
    I have found this script to start with:
    $Printer = Get-WmiObject -namespace root\cimv2 -Query “select * from Win32_Printer Where Default = TRUE” -Impersonation 3 | select name | out-file C:\temp\Printer.txt
    But the out file looks like this:
    name
    \\PrinterserverName\Accounts01
    Which I dont see how it can be used on another script plus there are spaces after\Account01 
    Any Ideas please?
    M
    Maelito

    Hi Maelito,
    According to your description, you want to export the default printer name to text file, then read this printer name from text file and set the default printer via Powershell:
    #save printer name to text file
    Get-WmiObject -namespace root\cimv2 -Query “select * from Win32_Printer Where Default = TRUE” -Impersonation 3 | select -ExpandProperty name | out-file C:\temp\Printer.txt
    # read printer name from text file and set default printer
    $name=get-content C:\temp\Printer.txt
    (Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Printer -Filter "Name='$name'").SetDefaultPrinter()
    If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.

  • Preview Default Print Setting "Fit to Page" Problem

    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?

    Sorry no workaround as yet...
    I too am now sick of the amount of expensive paper I have wasted due to the Preview app default print setting of 'Scale to fit'.
    - No option to print at 100%, you have to manually input this information.
    - No way to change this default in preferences, you can change the opening viewing size of a doc to 100% though.
    - Doesn't remember the previous settings if you decide to reopen the doc and print another copy.
    I also found that if I attempted to print an A4 doc with bleed and crop marks, it would set the default paper size to A4 and the annoying scale to fit would be set to 83%. If I then changed the scale by typing in 100% but don't hit enter for fear of the print starting and then simply use the drop down to change the paper to A3 and then change the orientation and then hit enter it ignores that you have changed the scale and prints your doc at 83% on A3 - Brilliant!
    It's a shame to say that I will be going back to acrobat for pdfs!
    If you can't put a 100% scale radio button on the print dialogue box either allow people to change the default in prefs or even better allow the presets to control paper size and scale of printing!

  • How to set default printing in black only

    Greetings,
    I'd like to set my default printing with Firefox at black ink only, which I can do individually prior to printing a page, but it reverts to color after that printing. But if I set the size at, say, 80%, that becomes the default setting, or if I set portrait/landscape for a single printing, that becomes the default setting. Why can't the desired black-ink only setting default like the size/portrait/landscape setting? What I want to do is set the printing permanently at black only, and the size at 100%, but allow one-time printing at landscape or portrait, or sizes less than 100% without those settings becoming the default. How can I do this? Thanks for any help
    Best wishes, Tom
    I've tried the help solutions on the website to no avail....

    Greeting ideato,
    Thanks so much for your reply. I've clicked on the Firefox button at upper left, then Print, then Properties, then Advanced, under which is listed Printer Features (I have only 1 printer), below which is a line with Print in Grayscale, clicking on which has has 3 options: Off (apparently default), High quality Grayscale, and Black Ink Only. I click on the latter, and click on OK for this window and others in the sequence, and it'll print in black only for the present printing, but will revert to color for the next printing, 'though like I said, if I change the size to 80% or from portrait to landscape, those settings will remain. I can't figure it out. Again, thanks for any help.
    Regards, Tom

  • Group Policy - Computer Startup Scripts - Add/Set Default printer

    Good Morning.
    Let's say we have 2 offices, A and B, and only 1 user.  The user is using Roaming Profiles.  Each office has its own printer.
    What I am trying to do, is make a Startup script that is specific to the COMPUTER being logged into so when any user logs into that computer, they get the printer in that office defined and set as default.
    I am able to do this successfully with my script but ONLY if i have the script be on the USER side of GP (i.e. in the Logon script section)
    That is great that that is working however, when my user goes to Office B, they still get mapped to Office A's printer if I use that method.
    So I figured I could just modify my GP and run the same script from the STARTUP section of the computer, rather than the LOGON section of the user.  It does not work.
    Here is my script:
    Set WRFCUNetwork = CreateObject("Wscript.Network")
    PrinterPath = "\\fileserver\MAINTELLER"
    PrinterDriver = "PrinterDriver"
    WRFCUNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection PrinterPath, PrinterDriver
    WRFCUNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\fileserver\MAINTELLER"
    This is where I Have the script placed:
         Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Scripts(Startup/Shutdown)
    Once i'm in there, I double click Startup, click Add, and select my script which is named:
         MainPrinterSetup.vbs
    I have this GP applied to ONE OU, and that OU has ONE computer in it (my test computer)
    I login with a brand new user called "testuser" (creative, huh?) and basically nothing happens
    except they log in and have some Microsoft Document Image Writer printer set as default (which by the way sure does slow the PC down to the point of it almost being broke if anyone actually tries to print to that by accident)
    No Main Teller Printer, no anything.
    The strangest part about this is, if i apply this script to the user LOGON scripts, it works fine, the printer is there, and is set as default. (but see above why that wont work for my situation)
    So obviously the script works fine, but I guess i'm missing something when it comes to applying GP's to Computers rather than Users.
    Can anyone shed some light as to why the script is not running (i'm guessing the script isn't even attempting to run, rather than failing, but i have no way to know that)
    Thank you in advance!!
    Derek Conlon
    Network Administrator
    WRFCU
    EDIT:  Here are the PC's info that i'm working on:
         Server:  Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition (where my GP's are created and managed with AD)
         Target PC:  Windows XP Professional SP3
    EDIT #2:  I manually navigated to the Script file after logging in and "opened" it and it added and set the default printer no problem.  the issue is definately with the script running at startup.

    I wanted to clarify a few things:
    1. While it is true that printer connections are usually per user, it is definitely possible to create "global printers".  There are a number of ways to do this, but two methods that come to mind are using:
    a. "Rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry" option with the "/ga" switch.  The "/ga" switch is the key here since it allows you to deploy printers "per machine" instead of "per user".  More information
    about this is available at:
    http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/NetPrinterAllUsers.htm
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee624057%28WS.10%29.aspx
    http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/Logon/logon_printer_computer.htm
    http://www.robvanderwoude.com/2kprintcontrol.php
    b. The Print Management console that is available in Windows 2003 R2 and higher can help you deploy printers "per machine" in addition to "per user".  More information about this is available at:
    http://www.czsolution.com/print-management/print-management/print-management-console.htm#DeployingPrintersByGroupPolicy
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753109%28WS.10%29.aspx
    2. As Guy mentioned, Group Policy Preferences can help set the default printer.  But there is another way to accomplish this.  The problem with the computer startup portion is that it runs before the user logs in.  And applying this script
    in the login script section would not work per computer unless you used loopback processing.  So another way to do this is to place a script that sets the default printer into the "All Users" startup folder.  Items in the "All Users"
    startup folder run for any user that logs into the computer, but it runs in the user's context.  So, this script would effectively set the default printer on a "per machine" basis.  The script method is a cruder way to approach the problem,
    but it will help get the job done.  Here are some resources on setting the default printer via script:
    http://www.intelliadmin.com/index.php/2007/08/set-default-printer-from-a-script
