Saving Printing Presets

I was wondering how to save a printing preset. I have set-up the paper handeling and and all the details I would like. I then choose save as and name it.... However when returning to print another document it shows the preset name I saved but none of the items I specified were saved. It always defaults to borderless printing and super high quality. I want it to print fast draft every time.
Any help?

About PDE, I got a simular problem.
[Printer Plugin]PDE settings can`t be changed to default in Printer Preset menu
I am developing a Mac Plugin PDE driver based on MacOSX sample PDE and I met a strange bug about printer preset.
In printer dialogue, when I swith to my PDE UI, I change some settings(such as jobtype, userid), and then save the settings as a custom preset(clicking [preset] button and select [save as a new preset] in printer dialog).
The custom preset can take affect, but when I switch preset from custom preset to default(standard), the setting in my PDE can`t return to the default state. It is still the custom setting that I just set.
#Other settings except PDE can return their settings to default when swith preset from custom preset to default(standard) setting.
Anybody know the reason? I will be appreciate.

Photoshop 2014- saving printing presets on a Mac?

I'm running os x Mountain Lion and used to be able to save printing presets when I was printing photos via PS but lately the quality and media settings keep reverting to standard quality and plain paper. Anybody know how I can keep the presets saved?
Thanks.

Those print settings are up to the printer driver, not the application.

Printing Presets Problem, Not Retaining Settings Assigned To A Preset.

Hi
I have a 10.5.8 client computer that is experiencing problems with saved printer presets not retaining the paper tray assigned to that preset. It works for other printers but not this one particular printer. I have tried the following.
1. Repair disk permissions.
2. Delete the troublesome printer presets and recreate them.
3. Reset printing system and re-add printers and recreate all printer presets.
4. Ran Onyx maintenance scripts, cleared caches, etc.
5. Re-applied 10.5.8 combo update.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi xenainoz
In SAP DMS Whatever document that are linked to an Object Such as PO, PR , Material, WBS element, Sales order Item cannot be printed directly.
Mean Suppose if you are Printing PO and want to Print also Documents linked to PO line items , this is not possible in standard SAP.You will have to do ABAP Enhancements.
Please check this link . hope you will get some idea.
When PO is Mailed to vendor the DIR Original should also go as addn attachm

Print presets not saving

I never got very good results from printing in Aperture 2, but Aperture 3 seems to have fixed most of my outstanding issues. So I was trying to set up some print presets. Unfortunately, I create a new preset, select Save Preset from the gear menu and it disappears the next time I start Aperture. I can't even seem to find what file Aperture might be storing these presets in, Library > Application Support > Aperture has a PrintPresets.plist file, but I don't see any of the presets in my print dialog in there, and none of those files contain my preset.
Is anyone else seeing this? Anything I can try to resolve this? I'm on 10.6.2 with an Epson 3800 if that matters.
Thanks.

OK, if the permissions thing doesn't work I do have another fix....if you don't mind 'going under the hood'.
Your plist thing gave me an idea, so what I did, having confirmed that my file, like yours, did not contain any of my saved presets, was make my own in plist. If you decide to try this please make a good copy of your plist file and keep it somewhere safe before you start, and please understand you do this at your own risk. Having scared you sufficiently it is actually quite easy. Open the PrintPresets.plist file, choose one of the existing presets (they are labelled as items) that is closest to the one you wish to create and copy it. Then click plist to navigate back one level and then paste in your new preset. Rename it (user name) and save, then reopen AP3 to confirm your new preset does in fact show up. Assuming it does then you can go back into PrintPreset.plist and tweak the settings to suit. The one thing that tripped me up briefly was the fact that measurements in the plist file are imperial yet in my copy of AP3 I am using metric, simple enough to convert though.
Again, this is at your own risk, but it worked a treat for me and now I can strart to print with my own presets in AP3. Wish I'd thought of it earlier.
Good luck if you decide to have a go
Take care

Why doesn't saving a print preset for selection printing work anymore? It previously did up to version 2.

I regularly like to highlight areas on web-pages, select print/name a print preset as "Print Selection" and check-mark 'Print Selection Only' of Options under the Firefox sub-heading. Then when I wanted to quickly print a selection instead of a whole web-page, I just highlighted an area, activated print, selected "Print Selection" and then checked print preview to view the selection before printing. That worked from version 2 only.
Now in version 3 +, all above can be done '''except''' the check-marked 'Print Selection Only' option in the Firefox sub-heading keeps resetting itself, even IF you have saved it check-marked as a print preset. Selecting the saved preset "Print Selection" next time will print (preview) the whole web-page, and not what was highlighted (selected) for printing. Why was this feature turned off?

Printer Presets Not Saving

It has been discussed on here before without any fixes coming from Apple...
Essentially the problem is that I'm trying to set one preset for printing all of my documents and another preset that allows me to quickly print photos from Imagebrowser (a Canon program). The problem is that when you think you have saved a preset you really haven't. It just continues to use whatever settings were last used and often a bunch of work has to go in to getting things to print correctly. I know this worked correctly under Tiger. We're at 10.5.4 and Apple still hasn't sorted this out. Does anyone know of a third-party app or Applescripts that could be used to rectify this problem.
If I missed it, has there been a solution to this problem?

This issue has been a problem for me since installing Leopard 10.5 upon its release. The fix for me was realizing that the feature settings of the various printers were reset. I had to go into each of the information panels of the print queues and enable Duplex printing, for instance. I do not know why this is not occurring through an automatic query process between the Printer Setup and the Printer itself.
A serious non-feature I noticed is that a lack of one feature in the Default Printer causes the Preset to lose that feature within an application context. That is, having the Default Printer without Duplex, while having selected a saved Duplex preset will cause the checkbox to be unset and the duplex feature to become unavailable in that preset and application, even after selecting an alternate printer with the Duplex feature designated available. Setting the default printer to the alternate having Duplex and restarting the application (like Preview) causes the Print dialog with Duplex preset to have the checkbox set.
I checked to see if the preset plist is being overwritten when selecting alternate printers, and it is not.
It seems that this could be a behavior exhibited by in the Apple Print dialog. It seems to read the Preset one time, perhaps at the first Print command. From there it seems to alter the Preset information, based on the default printer feature set, losing Preset features forever more within that application context. If this is the case, I suggest that Apple maintain a original copy of the Preset plist within the application and merge that upon each alternate printer selection.
For me, the workaround is to manually designate all of my printers to have Duplex capability.
I hope you find this useful.
Sincerely,
Robert Entriken

Booklet to PDF print preset settings not saved

I'm using ID CS4 on Vista64 Business and trying to output numerous booklet layouts to PDF for a client to print in-house at their premises. My lo-res tests work perfectly on their printer, I now need to output everything @ 300dpi etc.
I've set up a print preset to use the Adobe PDF printer driver and set all defaults I can find (Control panel etc) to High Quality output.
Interrogating the preset directly reports settings as "High Quality" but when using the Booklet Print dialogue Setup button to check the printer prefs, it always shows (and outputs) "Standard" settings.
Is there a way to get the ID Booklet option to remember the default PDF printer prefs? It's a real pain to change these manually for each print run.
Thanks, any advice gratefully received. [ I'm probably missing something embarrassingly fundamental. ~:o( ]

Hi Peter,
I can only find a printer folder under Control Panel > Printers. This is where I've already changed the PDF Printer defaults without success. Oddly, I appear to have fixed it by renaming the print driver instance there to "Adobe PDFx" (probably any other name would also work).
Whilst troubleshooting, I found I could also see another network "Adobe PDF printer" on another machine. I had a look over the settings there and saw the option "render print job on client machine". This got me thinking I might NOT have been using the LOCAL PDF printer setup and was just fooling myself.
I changed the local PDF Printer name to be certain I could identify it correctly and Hey Presto!, it suddenly started accepting the preset changes. I changed it back to "Adobe PDF" and it reverted back to the "standard" settings and just ignores everything.
It may be a weird Vista 64 security thing, this OS does some very annoying things when trying to access stuff, even though I have master admin privileges.
I'll simply leave the printer name as "PDFx" for now as this is getting the job done.
Thanks for your suggestions.

Printing presets are not loaded correctly

Dear community,
i have the following problems using different printers (Canon MG5200, Epson Workforce WF3620, etc.):
I saved about 10 own printing presets and when I check on them under "Show presets" they are totally correct. But when I want to use them in a following print job and select them in the drop-down list "Presets" they are not correctly loaded. E.g. "Paper Size" and "Pages" are alternated to thesetting saved in the preset but e.g. the "Duplex Printing" checkbox or the "Print Quality" drop-down list are just left on the setting they were on before.
Anyone knows that problem and can help me?
Thanks for your help.
Greetings,

Sorry for the delay in responding.
I was having trouble with presets, too, on my Epson printer/scanner, which is an old machine and the newer driver software does not give the same print setting options that came originally. So I decided to start from scratch. First I used the Epson uninstaller to remove the printer software. Next, reset the print system, then connected directly to the printer via USB. Ignored the initial offer to download driver software. In the printer panel in System Preferences, clicked + to add the printer. Then the printer was set up by the system. Still connected directly, I made the presets. Make sure to check the box for "All printers" for your presets. These presets should work when you connect your printer on the network instead of USB.

Importing print presets doesn't bring all settings

This isn't the first time. I saved my print presets to desktop out of CS4. I load into CS5. All that imports is the NAME. The tray is default, any other settings like duplex, make booklet, staple, etc. all default. OK. Maybe CS6 fixes this. I export my print presets to desktop, load them into CS6 and all that comes in is my menu of preset names. Is there anyway to import presets so they actually retain all the settings I spent a lot of time creating. A bit tedious to have to redo every one from scratch. I exported my entire library of exports. Should I be exporting/loading one at a time? That's as much a waste as creating them from scratch.

In ID when you click Printer... (not Page Setup...) you should get a printer specific dialog with a Presets popup. There isn't a way to save both the InDesign settings and your printer specific settings in one preset:
If you click on the Presets popup you should see a Save at the bottom of the popup list

Color Settings\Colorsync settings don't stick when setting printing presets

Hello
Posting this here, instead of in the iPhoto Forum
In the "Print" dialog box (the dialog box you see after you pass through the iPhoto dialog box - same type of box as with most other OS X applications), there is a down menu to give you access to several categories of settings related to the print job.
Here of course you can save printing presets (paper type, print quality, color management, etc).
Why do ColorSync settings under the "Color Matching" dropdown not get saved with the other presets? Every time, the profile setting defaults to "Automatic". Is this a bug or is there something I am not doing correctly? Is there a good reason why they aren't saved along with other settings? Apple on-screen Help says "some settings cannot be saved in a profile, but this would seem to be a very handy thing?
I use an Epson Artisan 800.
Alternatively, can someone tell me what the behavior is of the "Automatic" setting?
I recently profiled the printer and I am just looking for an easy/quick way at the time of printing to apply one of the three profiles based on the type of paper that is being used. I just figured this would be the easiest way to do it? (my question applies to any application - I posted here because this is of particular importance with iPhoto)
BTW Is it me or is there surprisingly little information online about ColorSync workflows/behavior/relationships in OS X?
Many thanks for any and all advice.
Justin

Hi Scott,
Thank you for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
First of all please update the RDC version to RDP 8.1 for better functionality. Then try to install below updates for windows 7 and check the result.

Cannot change Print Presets in iPhoto 08

Although I have saved multiple printing presets for other applications, in iPhoto 08 only "Standard" is available. This holds for all user accounts. Any way to correct this?
The problem is that "standard" prints on standard paper for my ink jet. Photos are therefore printed in low res.

Try the simple fix: delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, launch iPhoto and try again.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

We have an applescript that will batch print InDesign CS6 files from a folder to a laser printer using an InDesign print preset. The script does not work in OS X Yosemite. The script errors out with the print preset. Any thoughts?

end if
repeat with aFile in selected_items
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS6"

Print Presets!?

We recently got our hands on a G5 10.4.7 Mac and have set it up just as our (2) G4 OS 10.3.9 Macs are running. All is well...Except when we choose to print to our Rip station for film output the Print Presets pull down menu for "Presets" only lists "standard" instead of "standard" & "mirror/neg" as our (2) G4 display.
We sent a file to the imagesetter thru RIP using just the "standard" setting and all was fine except the bottom crop marks were missing.
Is this a problem with just "TIGER" or is there something up with the PPDs? I noticed that in OS TIGER in the Print dialogue box there is a new PDF pull down option (not to mention the "$uppile$" addition) would that mean that I need to do something else to get that "preset" up and operational? I copied all the same settings and preferences as with the other (2) Macs.
10.3.9 & 10.4.7

It may be that you did not copy the proper Preference file, or that the 10.3 preference file is not compatible with 10.4. Try setting the proper choices and saving it on the new computer. That should work.

Saving print settings in a template

Hello,
I'm creating some user templates for different printing setups in LR 3.3 RC on a Mac Pro, OS X 10.6.5, using the Epson 3800 with the current driver ver. 6.11.
I have no problem saving different print setting presets and also have no problem saving different templates but I can't get my saved templates to include any of my print presets. When printing I click on my print template, click the Print button on the right side of the printing module, select the intended printer preset, and click Print. What I'm trying to accomplish with my template is to eliminate having to manually select the print preset each time. Should this be possible in LR or is the manual selection step normal?
Thanks,
Saul

When you start your template is your Page Setup
in left panel correct ?

Can CS4 import printing presets from CS3?

I found the preset folder in the CS3 folder but nothing in there were caller printer presets. I see presets for workspace, swatches, and many other things but not printing. We just upgraded here and I have about 20-30 presets that I REALLY do not want to have to recreate from scratch again!

Yes
You open up CS3
File>Print Presets
Select the Preset and SAVE
Open up CS4
File>Print Presets
Select Load
Find Saved file
Done
