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.

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).

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

Is it possible to disable the print dialog settings -- such as duplex printing -- from being saved after the Adobe Reader is closed? So each time the application is opened, and one prints a document, it is printed according to default settings?
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
Product: Adobe Reader XI

Hi Rob,
If the above shown option is your answer for my question, it disables total print menu in the internet explorer. I am not searching for that. I am searching for solution to disable print dialog box after user pressing print option(Ctrl+p).
If not please share me particular option, i am unable to find that option.

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

How do I make sure the print dialog settings are reset when Adobe Reader is closed?

Hello everyone,
we operate a printshop, several terminals (win7+Acrobat 11.0).
Lots of users and files daily. when a user leaves a terminal and quits adobe acrobat,
the next user inherits his print settings (dialogue boxes).
unfavourable - as some use duplex, scaling or several pages on 1 page.
I know that you can edit certain registry entries to change some settings but I didn't find something close to solve our problem
default on application close -> wishful behaviour
Does anybody have a idea? would be really awesome

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
Some security software has virtualization or sandbox features that may cause problems by protecting and restoring files in the Firefox profile folder.
Try to rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js files and a possible user.js file to reset all prefs to the default values.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_preferences
If you rename the file(s) then you can undo the action or inspect the files with an editor like Notepad.
Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

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:

Media selection not saved in Print dialog

When I select my Media, Quality and Bit Depth in the "Main" window in the Print dialog, they are not saved even though I select Save Current Settings as Preset. They change back to Plain Paper, 300 dpi and 8-bit. This will not work for high quality photo printing on my Canon iPF5000 printer. I've tried many different settings but nothing I have tried will get my settings to be saved and used. What are the "magic words" because the ones I've been using are not working?
I can print from Photoshop through a Canon 16-bit plug-in using my normal print paper profiles and get excellent results so the printer is working just fine. I am using the latest Canon print driver and firmware. I think if I could get the correct media type, quality and bit depth in the printer driver, I'd get good results as well. I have a new paper profiling device that can only print the test patches through the print driver... so I'm stuck so far.
Your help is appreciated.
OS X 10.9.2, Mac Pro 3.33 Ghz 6-core, 24 GB RAM

I discovered the root of my problem. Canon does not have a printer driver for my iPF5000 that runs under Mavericks. My workaround was to load Mountain LIon on a separate drive and use the Canon supported print driver for OS X 10.8.x. Running under 10.8 worked and I was able to successfully input and send the media type to the printer. I was making printer paper profiles with a new x-rite ColorMunki Photo.
After creating the paper profile, I copied it over to Mavericks where I use Canon's 16-bit plug-in in Photoshop to send print jobs to the iPF5000. This apparently uses a slightly different print driver than the stand-alone print driver since it works just fine. The profiles create prints that are a very close match to the screen images.
Whether or not Canon will support Mavericks for the iPF5000 is anybody's guess since it's an older printer.

Print Dialog doesn't retain settings

I am using kPrintActionCmdBoss to print several times from the same document (different layers each time). I want to put up the print dialog the first time, and then keep the user's settings for the subsequent prints. I can see that the settings are remembered by the document:
IDocument* iDoc = Utils<ILayoutUIUtils>()->GetFrontDocument();
InterfacePtr<IPrintData> docPrintData(iDoc->GetDocWorkSpace(), UseDefaultIID());
bool16 debug1 = docPrintData->GetPrintBlankPages();
debug1 is kTrue if I ticked the 'Print Blank Pages' box in the dialog.
I try setting the print command's print data:
InterfacePtr<ICommand> printActionCmd(CmdUtils::CreateCommand(kPrintActionCmdBoss));
InterfacePtr<IPrintCmdData> printActionCmdData(printActionCmd, UseDefaultIID());
printActionCmdData->SetPrintData(docPrintData);
but the print command seems to pay no attention to the settings.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
Charles

I also wonder why there is no "print preview" option in the Firefox print dialog box. I don't want a "workaround"—I simply want a print preview option the same way every other Mac application provides it in the print dialog box.
Where did this go??

I cant print and get this message, "adobe elements, "the saved printer information is not compatible with this version of photoshop elements, or the saved printer is no longer available. you will need to check with your printer settings before printing."

I keep getting this message when trying to print in adobe elements, I am using a new Epson WF-3640 printer
"the saved printer information is not compatible with this version of photoshop elements, or the saved printer is no longer available. you will need to check with your printer settings before printing.

Photoshop CS5 crashes when selecting print settings in print dialog box

I work on a Mac Pro desktop with OS 10.6.4. Photoshop CS5 crashes every time I try to select "print settings" in the print dialog box. I work in a large office and our networked color printer is a Konica Minolta bizhub C451. In fact, if I hit "print" it will crash whether or not I hit "print settings" first. In CS4, there was a separate menu item that allowed you to change printer settings before going into the print dialog box. That choice is gone now, you have to select it through the print dialog box.
This is the only way I can print out color proofs for my clients. Unfortunately, I do not have administrator rights to any printer (our office has about 100 people, only IT staff can fiddle with that). What can I do to get this solved?

I think I have fixed it, though I'm not sure why this worked.
System Preferences>Print & Fax. Selected the Konica Minolta printer (the B/W printer was working fine). Changed the name. Still didn't fix it. Went back selected my newly named Konica Minolta then "Open Print Queue" (like Dave said)>print settings. Change the driver to "Generic Postscript printer." I could print, but only on letter-size paper, no other options available (need tabloid). Went back to system preferences>print & fax>Konica Minolta2>open print queue>drivers then I reselected the updated printer drivers--the same one that hasn't been working.
Now, it works.
Thanks all for the helpful advice!

Missing "Print Settings" in Canon printer dialog

Hi,
I've Googled all over for this, but I haven't found an answer to this particular question. Maybe someone in here would know?
I want to print a photo from Lightroom 3 on a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. I have a Canon MP800R printer. I want Lightroom to manage the color, and I'm able to choose the glossy paper profile I want in the Print Job pane in Lightroom. However, when I click Print and get to the part where I should turn off color management in the printer dialog I'm not able to do so. There is no Print Settings section in the dialog box. As far as I understand, all the important stuff goes on in this Printer Settings section, see http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_print/lr2-print.htm. Why don't I see Print Settings?
I should add that if I go ahead anyway with Lightroom managed printing the colors are off, but if I use Managed by Printer the colors look decent.
Jan

OK and to be sure: Do you have Color Management by Printer set to OFF ?
It's under -I have a Canon Pixma 5000- Color Intensity-
then:
That works fine here.
(btw A Canon photoprinter like the Pixma 4820 is very good and cheap.)

Printing is mirrored on Brother MFC-210; no print settings in Print Dialog

I recently purchased a new iMac. I transfered the contents of my Powerbook to the iMac. When I try to print to my Brother MFC-210 printer from any application, the result is reversed (mirrored).
On my Powerbook, the Print Dialog box for the MFC-210C includes "Print Settings" as a selection and that screen has a check box for mirrored printing. On my iMac, the Print Dialog box does not contain a "Print Settings" selection. I assume that somehow "mirror printing" has somehow been selected but I can't unselect it. Is this an OS-X problem or a printer driver problem? I have tried downloading the most up to date printer drivers without any success. Any assistance with this issue would be appreciated.

I was able to fix the problem by carefully following the instructions on the Brother website about installing the printer and downloading the driver.

Opening a saved printer friendly version of a web page (PDF) opens a print dialog.

On the web I asked to view a printer friendly version of the page which opened a PDF which I saved. When I attempt to open the saved PDF it automatically brings up the print dialog. If I cancel the print it opens in Adobe Reader. What can I do to open the file without the print dialog popping up

Hi Stanley Trela,
If you are on Windows, open up your application preferences, then go to the "Security (Enhanced)" category and deselect "Protected View". If you are on a Mac, unfortunately, the only workaround is to "print as image" - you can select that after clicking on the "Advanced" button on the print dialog.

Saving Photoshop CS5 Print dialog box presets or defaults?

This question was asked in 2008 for PS CS3 with no answer, so I will ask it again...
OS 10.6.4
Using Canon iPF 5100 and 6100 printers
CS 5 Photoshop
Is there a way to set a preset in the PS Print dialog window for 'Photoshop manages color' and the ICC profile so that I do not have to reset them every time I print?
Also, where does PS pull the information for the printers pop-up menu near the top of the Print dialog box? Is this a preset or is it just pulling these printer names from the OS? I ask this because when I switch between one of the iPF printers, the Print > Color Management section defaults back to 'Printer Manages Color' and greys out the profile pop-up menu.
Thanks.

No, no presets but you can record the settings in an action. The action can record printer, printer settings and color management settings.

Print dialog not remembering settings

I have a very simple saved setting for my Lexmark E332n printer that sets the paper feed to manual. The problem is that since upgrading to Leopard, the manual paper feed setting is not remembered. In fact I have tried deleting the saved setting, setting the paper feed to manual and then saving that... and watching manual feed be reset to Auto-Feed with no other intervention on my part. Saved print settings are a great feature. I hope Apple can fix this problem so that it again works as well it did in Tiger.
By the way, I downloaded and installed the latest drivers on the Lexmark web site, and I'm getting the same behavior before and after doing so.

BUG: Printer default settings not being used when selected in Print Dialog Prompt

We have 2 styles of printers on our computers: and Epson Receipt Printer (paper size Roll Papper 80mmx257m) and a Dell printer (paper size 8.5x11)
Our issue is if use us the non-defaulted printer to print something in Internet Explorer, it overrides the default printer setting with its default settings of that non-default printer. When we try to use the default printer again, the settings will
not switch back to the appropriate settings of that default printer.
Example: (Epson selected as Default Printer in Windows 7 Professional)
I open IE and select print on a page. I select the Dell printer and hit apply to change the print settings to the default settings of that Dell. Everything prints fine. I then try that same page, but this time I select the Default Printer
(Epson) and hit "apply" in the Printer Dialog Prompt and print. The print out is of the paper size letter and not the default settings for the Epson which is Roll Paper. I look at the settings in the preferences from IE's Print Dialog
Prompt and it shows it will use the Paper Size: LT 8.5x11 in.
If I close and re-open IE and print that same page to the Epson without selecting the Dell I see that the settings are back to the defaults for the Epson and things print as they should.
Why doesn't IE use the default settings after selecting any printer and hitting apply in the print dialog prompt past the first change of printer selection?
