Safari printing page orientation and scale defaults changed

Until recently, Safari defaulted to portrait and 100% scaling when printing. I had occasion to print a particular page LANDSCAPE and 70% scale which was successful. Now that has become the new default and I am unable to change it. This affects Safari only.
Searching for help, I've seen this problem referenced in older versions and it was suggested to either change the values in com.apple.print.PrintingPrefs or to delete it altogether. I looked for the equivalent values in my file but couldn't find anything similar to what had been suggested. I then backed up the file and deleted it. No joy. The file is restored but problem persists.
My Safari version is Version 4.0.5 (5531.22.7). I just recently upgraded to that but don't know if that is relevant to my problem.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Jack

You're welcome.
. I don't have a com.nameofyourprinter.plist file (should I? I'm using a Canon MP530),
Actually it depends on how long it's been since you last connected the printer to your Mac. Anytime you print from your Mac a new prefererence file (.plist) is created in your home folder/Library/Preferences.
Where I said...nameofyourprinter at the time I didn't know the manufacture of your printer. If you aren't sure how to locate .plist files, check out my short video.

This is the Firefox Start Page that was used in Firefox 3.6 and prior versions. 
http://www.google.com/firefox
The '''about:home''' default homepage looks a lot like that older default homepage, but it is missing the Google menu items at the top left-side of the web page, along with the '''''Sign In''''' hyperlink for signing into Google services and the '''''Options''''' "gear button" for setting Google search preferences.
If you want the orange Firefox button to show, instead of the Menu Bar showing, you need to hide the Menu Bar by right-clicking a blank spot on the Menu Bar and de-selecting the Menu Bar by clicking on Menu Bar in that contextual menu.

I can print, using AirPrint, just fine. But how do I change Printer settings using my Ipad, like page orientation and 2 sided printing?

When printing an email I get the option to select 2 sided printing but not page orientation. When trying to print a picture from my picture library I don't get either option. I am using a HP printer with AirPrint. Thanks, Dave

Whow what a shame, I thought this iPad was going to be terrific. Guess I'll get out my trusty Cannon from now on, lots less hassle.
Thank you for the reply!

How can I change a print page orientation from portrait to landscape

How can I change the page orientation when printing from portrait to landscape?

By setting the print size -- ie rather than 6x4 use 4x6 - and to avoid unwanted cropping you need to crop the photo to the target ratio before printing ( you can undo the crop after printing if you do not want it to be permanent)

How can I change the printer page orientation from vertical to horizontal?

I cannot seem to find a way to get the desired page to print horizontally instead of vertically as it normally does. Can I do this; how?
Currently, Family Tree Maker is the app in which I'm having this problem. I want to print a census report in "landscape" instead of "portrait."

@sambrack
Try the '''Preview''' button at the bottom of the Print dialog window and see if there are Portrait / Landscape buttons at the top of the Print Preview window. ''(Those buttons are there on Linux & Windows versions of Firefox, and most likely on Mac, too.)''
If so, select Landscape and then Print from that Preview window.

Printed pages don't scale properly in Acrobat Pro 9.1.1

Hello all. When I print from Acrobat Pro 9.1.1 using these settings......
Document Properties:
     PDF version: 1.4
     Dimensions: 20.88 x 11
     Application: Indesign CS3 (printing from Acrobat, this is what was used to create the pdf document)
Page Setup:
     1. Paper Size: Tabloid
     2. Orientation: Landscape
Print:
     Copies and Pages
          1. Fit to Printable Area / Shrink to Printable Area
          2. Auto Rotate and Center is checked
     Layout
          1. Border: None
          2. Two Sided: Short Edge Binding
All other settings are default.
........My printed page is cut off on the left and right edges. Basically, the Fit to Printable Area, and/or Shrink to Printable Area option is not working properly.
This just started happening about one or two weeks ago. Does this timeline coincide with the release of the 9.1.1 update?
Has anyone else had similar problems? I am printing to an HP Color Laser Jet 5550dn.

Do you suppose repairing Permissions would fix it?
Also running a utility called applejack might fix.
Google AppleJack and download the correct version for your OSX.
Install. The restart in Single User Mode (unix). type applejack at the prompt (blinking square Cursor).
follow each of the choices as listed note 3&4 you run for system then for each User.
when finish follow directions to quit and reboot.
If it remove a whole bunch of cache files and others, you Mac will take a long time to get started (has to recreate new clean cache files). You might even see for a few seconds the dreaded blue screen . Even you Dock items Icons for Hard drive and Main menu will be rebuilt as loading of any control panels.
One re booted try to print you document. see what happens.
Cache files are netorious for becomeing corrupt and causing Strange problems.

Printing/Preview does not honour to printer page margins and garbles text

I have this weird problem with printing. When I print, e.g., a pdf using preview, the page comes out of the printer incorrectly, that is the top 2.2cm gets chopped off and some of the characters have become unreadable (especially the I, the :, and the J). When I print the same pdf from adobe reader, the page comes out fine...
The problem of chopping-off the top bit of a page also happens when I print directly from an application (e.g., thunderbird, firefox). Saving the print as PDF and printing that one with adobe reader again works fine.
The problems occurs only when I print on my Lexmark Optra E312L (using the generic Postscript printer). On our HP Photo Printer (B9180), everything works as expected.
I have already restarted the printing system, but while this did solve another printing problem, I still have this problem.
So my question is: anyone else experiencing similar problems (ie., top of print chopped-off and garbled text) and, better yet, is there a solution?
Thanks,
Hayo

Steve, thank you for trying to answer my question/solve my problem!
You suggestions, however do not fully help in my case though
I was already using the full printing dialogue, but nowhere did I find anything that might solve this problem. The print scaling, I did not want to use as I want the page to come out as-is (the pdf was an A4 and I print to A4). Note: border less printing or other ways of selecting a larger printable area doesn't work either; when I select the Lexmark, I have a very limited number of page size options and while it shows them, I can't use a custom page size (otherwise that could have solved the problem I guess).
I did expect some things to get chopped-off but then evenly from all sides (ie, where it can't print). This is not what happens when printing from preview though. Today I tried again and while the results are the same, I now understand better what Preview does: it chops off only the top bit (what it does left and right, I don't know yet). In my opinion this is an error on the part of Preview because that way you never get the page exactly as it was intended. Adobe Reader does this much better, so that is what I will be using from now on.
The other problem, the garbled text (mostly i's, j's, and :'s) is still there as well. So I guess there must be a problem in the printing engine of Preview in combination with the generic postscript driver...
Heck, it gets even more interesting: I also tested printing from Firefox directly. This results in an error flashing on the printer, the printout got out of the printer ok-ish though. When saving the output as PDF and printing that with Adobe Reader again, the printer does not generate an error AND (more importantly), the output is much better quality wise (the rendering of the fonts and greys is much better).
Right, I guess the lesson I learned here is not to use Preview/print directly when I want to print to the Lexmark and to take the route PDF->Adobe Reader->Lexmark instead.
Is there a way I can let Apple know about bugs? (the garbled text certainly is a bug, the other things may or may not).
Thanks again,
Hayo

How to batch print different orientations and paper sizes?

Is there a way to batch print a group of exposures that differ in either orientation (Portrait or Landscape) or print size (4 X 6 and 8 X 10) or both orientation and print size? I've not been able to find instructions on how do batch print.
Could I use Lightroom 2 for batch printing? If so, how do I go about creating batch prints?
Any tips, suggestions or errata would be most welcomed!

Thanks for all of your assistance. I got the answer I was looking for. Please feel free to add YOUR comments to my questions!

Printing page name and other information

I'm new to mac and having a bit of a time trying to understand how many print interfaces there are. Loving things so far but I need to take a minute to figure some things out.
1. Is there a way to set my HP Printer to always print the name of the file at the bottom or otherwise set these kinds of options as pre-settings so I can pull down to them when I want various configs/
2. Is there a way to get the pdf printer in Preview to default to printing to all pages? I seem to frequently print one page and I have to go through a bunch of clickthrough operations to get all the pages to print to one pdf.
Thanks,
Jon

This is usually a feature of the application you are printing from and appears in the applications PDE, usually the default panel shown when the the Print Dialog is brought up.
2. Is there a way to get the pdf printer in Preview to default to printing to all pages? I seem to frequently print one page and I have to go through a bunch of clickthrough operations to get all the pages to print to one pdf.
What printer are you using? And are you using the PDF menu at the bottom left of the print dialog?

Add "print page" icon and command

I post articles on my webpage and would like for my visitors to print them. Is there a way, other then they just clicking on their own print command, to add a "print article" button within my site. This would maybe open up another page to allow better printing formatting. I am just using iWeb 08 and the Modern Frame template.

A Google search showed these pages. You can test a few and add the code using iWeb 2:

V10.5 print page orientation

For some reason my MacBook Pro now has the default print orientation as landscape. I have searched the forums and found what I believe is the correct solution: delete the com.apple.print.PrintingPrefs.plist file from the user Library/Preferences.
Now I am a little nervious about throwing away what may be a system type file, so I would really appreciate if someone would confirm that when this preference file is trashed, the system will rebuild it, I am guessing, on a restart.
Many thanks for your help.
Regards,
Jim Alguire

Yes it will.
But if you get any problems just reinstall the printer driver.

Safari refreshing pages over and over

Hi,
sometimes when i open a website or tab in safari, it refreshes the page about 4 times while opening it - e.g is opens the page, loads nearly everything on the page, then starts the process over again.
It does this like 4 times and is extremely annoying.
Also, i've found sometimes i will go back to a tab, and it reloads the page again. So frustrating.
anyone know why this is happening or any solutions?
Without doubt Lion has been the worst update in a long time.

Launch the Console application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search, and look under "User Diagnostic Reports" for crash logs related to WebProcess or PluginProcess. Select the most recent one and post the contents -- the text, please, not a screenshot. For privacy’s sake, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report.

Automatic PO printing when new and manual when change

hello
where and how can i determine the settings for automatic output message of PO when created but only on request (manual) when the PO is changed?
thanks
Alisa

Reason could be
a) print operation 2 might be maintianed for your message type . 2 means when PO changed ,it can also get printed.
solution:
Remove this indicator 2 for your message type. Then iyou cant output when you cahnge the PO.
menu path:
OLME -- >messages -- >output control -->message types -->Define message type PO -->Fine tuned control PO
hope it clear
