Saved "printing shortcuts" settings don't appear to be saved??

I'm a bit frustrated with the "Printing Shortcuts" option to save your own settings after noticing that when I've saved settings, they don't always seem to be saved. I've gone through the tabs (esp . the color settings) and set things the way I want, then gone back to the 'printing shortcuts' tab and clicked 'save as' at the bottom and entered a name. The name appears in the list and looks like it was saved. But when I go back and click that shortcut, my settings do not reappear when I look through the tabs.
I've saved two Shortcut settings of my own, set paper sizes, the right paper, and advanced color settings. I've done it by right clicking the printer in Windows and going into "printer preferences", etc...and I've also tried it by clicking "print" in Photoshop,choosing the printer in the pop-up window, clicking 'preferences', and reaching the HP "shortcuts" menu. Both ways obviously get you to the HP "Printing Shortcuts" utility, and either way I can see the two shortcuts I saved. But again, if I click either of them none of the selections for paper, paper size, or color settings appear. Clicking on some of the built-in shortcuts makes the paper/paper-size settings switch accordingly---so why don't the ones I save myself?
Is that normal?
(For what it's worth...I'm still aggravated that HP has -no-..meaning -zero-..printer profiles readily available for this printer in Windows. I've fought with trying to create one that works and may finally just buy an IT8 target. But I finally just gave up and decided to roll my own color settings in the above 'shortcuts'. Just today, a week after I bought this, I can generate nice acceptable skin tones in my prints that look like what's on the screen in Photoshop. For what it's worth I do love the prints, and this printer is great after all this. So, now, I wish the shortcuts would stay the way I make them.)
Help me Obi-wan-kenobi...anyone?
Thanks,
Chris

Having exactly the same issue. Using UPD 5.3 PCL6 driver. I can apply changes to the default/eco short cuts and they are retained until you select another shortcut and return to the original. At that point it reverts to the default default. Close and reopen and my mods appear again.
With the additional shortcuts though, I can create whatever I want, save as and apply, close the window & reopen and no new shortcuts.
Come on HP!
Cheers,
Dave

  • Print Driver Settings Not Saving at Print Dialog [IDCS3, Vista]

    Hi. On our only design machine that runs Vista, when the user tries to print something from InDesign CS3 and has to turn on duplexing in the printer driver setup, on clicking OK, those settings immediately go away, and thus the document will not print duplexed. It works fine on our XP machines.
    A workaround is to set such printer driver settings via Vista's Control Panel, and this does work, however it's a bit cumbersome, since we print all kinds of documents.
    Pertaining Specs:
    - Adobe InDesign CS3 (5.0.3) for Windows
    - Vista Home SP1 (I think)
    - Konica-Minolta Bizhub C500
    - EFI Fiery 2.01 Driver for Vista / PostScript / Image Controller 405
    It's similar to this issue, but the specs differ:
    Michael C Stone, "Indesign documents reset printer settings IDCS2 XPSP2" #, 14 Jun 2008 5:19 pm

    It does say, "Double-sided: Yes," in Windows' printer properties for the Bizhub PS (and PCL) Fiery driver(s) -- in fact, this may have been from me turning it on for the PS driver in Windows Registry, as it was off for some reason, but seemed to make no real difference anyway -- but I think the duplexing option would have been grayed-out in the Fiery driver's dialog if not available as some various other options are -- the driver has the capability to poll the device for such options availability -- and I don't actually see anything duplexing-related on the Installable Options tab, but the Installed list is identical to one of our XP computers with no apparent issues with printing to the drivers from InDesign -- although at one point, if a Vista user printed an InDesign document and saved it (and thus the printer settings), XP users for some reason couldn't print the document without forcing a change in the print driver settings, but I believe this was due to using the same drivers but different TCP/IP port configurations per machine (Vista doesn't need the IP_ prefix as XP seems to).

  • Saving print dialog settings

    I have a machine with adobe reader 6.0 in which different users are logging with different account.
    If a administrator changes print dialog settings such as Auto rotate and center or Page scaling (Fit to page, Shrink page sizes) while printing a document, the same settings are not visible in print dialog of various users which log onto same machine.
    Does AcroReader stores settings differently for different users ?
    Where does it store settings in registry or a seperate settings file for each user ?
    How can i have same settings (Print dialog settings) for different users ?
    any help will be greatly appreciated.

  • Layout option doesn't work in Easy Print VI panel, controls on tabs don't appear

    Found two problems with the Report Generation VIs:
    1) In the (Report Generation) Easy Print VI Panel or Documentation.vi, the Layout options don't work (dug down into the sub-VI's and found that they are not connected to anything).
    2) If you have controls or indicators on a Tab Control, and try to use the Easy Print VI Panel or Documentation.vi with the option to include controls in the report, they don't appear. The only controls/indicators that do appear are the ones that are displayed on all of the tabs (ie, create an control and move it on top of the tab control so that it appears on every page).  There is a sub-VI (Expand_control_ref_with_nested_controls.vi) that is called to handle nested controls (ie, clusters, arrays,etc...) but it should have a case to handle tab controls.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hey Sajosie,
    Digging into the Sub-VI's you are correct in saying that the Layout Options user input is not connected to anything for most cases. However, In the default case of "Quick Print" the Layout Options are used to modify the layout of the report. In the help for this VI, it mentions that this input is ignored for "Standard Reports" and "HTML" report options. However, it does not mention that this ignoring of the Layout Options is expected for "Word" or "Excel" reports.
    In terms of including controls and indicators in the report that appear on tab controls, I can make a product suggestion to make this sort of front panel design more compatible with the Easy Print VI Panel or Documentation.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to disable print dialog settings being saved, in the registry or otherwise?

  • Saving printing shortcuts

    I have an Officejet Pro 8500 A909a. In addition to many other problems with this printer I can't seem to save print shortcuts. My understanding of this feature was that I could customize my printer settings for the jobs I'm doing; ie: do a borderless photoprint on 8.5 x 11, portrait instead of the 4 x6 landscape default, but everytime I save one of these it reverts back to the defaults the next time I try to use it. Anyone know how to make this work?

    me too.

  • Managed Printers Don't Appear in Printer & Fax Preference Pane

    Something curious to ponder. I've had this issue for a while now (though it's not a huge problem), where I have a managed Mac (managed via Mac OS X Server 10.6.8) that doesn't display the printers that have been added to a computer list via Workgroup Manager in the Mac's Printer & Fax preference pane. The printers do appear in CUPS (127.0.0.1:631), and the computer prints fine to the available printers, but they just don't appear in the preference pane. I've attached some screen shots for clarification.
    Computer list in Workgroup Manager
    (even with the Only show managed printers option unchecked, nothing shows up in Printer & Fax)
    CUPS page on managed Mac
    (All printers show up fine here)
    Print & Fax Preference Pane
    (Printers don't show up here, why not?)
    Print dialog box in Safari
    (Printers show up here)
    Any ideas?

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 Wireless - Where are the printing shortcuts?????

    HP Officejet Pro 8600 Wireless Printer
    Windows 7
    Where are the printing shortcuts?????
    I just replaced a canon printer that died that had the concept of PROFILES, so that I could setup a PROFILE for each type of printing, i.e. 4X6 photos/documents/5X7 photos.  So it was easy for our family to print, they would pick each setting.
    Now with latest driver for 8600 there are NO way to save a set of settings for a printer.   I have seen some old discussions on this but I just can't believe HP doesn't have this type of functionality in their drivers.  I don't need the ePrint and all the other bogus stuff installed with the 8600 driver, but I DO NEED the ability to save different sets of printing options so I don't have to remember, borderless or not, landscape or not, etc and keep wasting photo paper/ink/regular paper with incorrect options.
    Here is another posting with similar points -> Customers are NOT getting full print functionality.  We don't care about the extra software, it is minimal.  Full functionality includes the ability to create profiles for different printing situations so that the user can easily choose that profile (and therefore all the myriad settings for that profile).  What HP has done is give us ONE profile, essentially, and every time you want to do something different, you have to change that ONE profile.  How is that helping?
    As I said, if I want to switch from a normal printing job (e-mail, web page, etc.) which uses my ONE setting, and then want to print a 4x6 photo, I have to remember to change at least 6 different settings.  With the shortcut, I would select my "borderless photo" shortcut, and it would automatically switch paper trays, size, color, quality, you name it.  Now you force me to change that each and every time.
    If someone can explain why this is considered full functionality I would be extremely grateful.

    Hello,
    I am sorry you are having trouble with your print experience.
    I am going to make some assumptions here, which could be wrong in your case, but might help others.  Since you mention printing from Windows7 and ePrint in the same thread, can I assume you are trying to print using the HP ePrint driver for windows (www.hp.com/go/eprintsoftware) ?  The ePrint driver also comes preinstalled on all HP laptops and pcs now, so maybe you made a recent pc purchase and therefore have the ePrint driver installed?
    The goal of the ePrint windows driver currently has a lot less to do with providing the hundreds of print features and settings that the full featured, product specific print drivers provide.  The goal is to enable customers to be able to print to any recent or new HP printer through a number of different connection paths from a single installed print driver / print queue.  Once the ePrint driver is installed, printing with that driver will dynamically find direct network printers, cloud enabled printers, public print locations, direct wireless printers, etc., and create the correct print format depending on the print path taken.  If the printer is ePrint cloud enabled and has a good internet connection, the printer and the pc do not have to be in the same location.  For example, you can print from home to your printer at work.  You can send photos of the kids to your mom's printer in another state, etc.  The ePrint solution is also good for the traveling worker who just wants to send the occasional print job to the nearest network or wireless direct printer without having to find and install another print driver for each new printer.  One driver, one queue and you can print to any recent or new HP printer.
    The ePrint driver has a few important print settings that customers may want to use (copies, duplex, grayscale, etc).  More may be added over time depending on demand.
    BTW, because the ePrint driver does not have a ton of print settings to handle, the rendering of print jobs is as simple and efficient as possible and should not bog down your pc.
    If you want all the bells and whistles in the print driver experience and just want to print to a single printer you can download and install the product specific print driver from hp.com  
    I hope that helps out a few people who may be wondering what the purpose of ePrint is!!
    Good luck.
    I am an HP employee, but these are my own thoughts and suggestions

  • Images on Robohelp are very poor quality/blurry or don't appear at all

    Hello,
    Any help on this problem would be greatly appreciated as I have been attempting to solve this for several hours a day for the past week.
    I have a simple employee handbook in word (about 20 pages with images) that I’m trying to turn into an html-based document. I've tried a couple if things in order to get this file into robohelp. I've linked the word document to RoboHelp and worked with that, and I've also imported the word doc into framemaker and then linke my framemaker document to Robohelp.
    I’ve managed to create the html version with a table of contents doing it both ways, but there are a few images in the word document that turn out really bad in the html version. They look fine in the word document and in pdf version, but when I view them in RoboHelp or  in the html version of the document they’re very blurry and choppy. It almost looks as it pixels are missing. I’ve tried everything I could think of but nothing changes the quality of the image. As soon as I link the word document or framemaker document, when I click "view" on the specific image, or just view it from the handbook in Robohelp the image looks terrible.
    Someone suggested that I checkmark "do not re-generate image" under project settings but now some of my images aren't appearing at all. All of my images are the same type but I've also tried changing it to png, or bmp, jpeg but nothing changes. They're either blurry or don't appear at all.
    Thanks for any help or suggestions!

    I don't know if this will help you, but I've had issues with poor image quality when importing Word documents into RH7. I see a fuzziness problem with most images--screen shot or not--but it seems really pronounced if the image in Word is reduced to less than 100%. To resolve this, I've opted to manually copy any Word images to another application (I use SnagIt), save them at 100% to PNG format (JPG and GIFs also work), and import the saved image files to Robohelp. That sounds like that's what you ended up doing with Photoshop.
    Also, I wonder if it makes a difference how much the text was magnified/reduced when they took the original screen shots. I just did an experiment--using SnagIt, I took a screen capture of a block of text at 100% magnification. I then pasted the screen shot directly from SnagIt into my Robohelp document. It came in perfectly clean--couldn't see any obvious difference between the Robohelp text and the image of the Word text. I got the same results when I saved the screen capture to a PNG file and imported it that way. That leads me to believe the problem you're seeing is a result of having Word images automatically converted to RH.
    (In the example--unfortunately hard to see-- the text in the red box is from a screen capture; the rest of the text was entered in RH8--there's no discernable difference in quality.)

  • Imbedded videos don't appear since last update

    Ever since the last update, imbedded videos don't appear on the screen.  Is anyone else having this problem?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    Note: If you’ve activated FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.) Post the results of steps 1 and 2.
