Set printing preferences

How to set or change printing preferences on iPad?

I have a canon pixma mg5400 and I want to be able to print in black and white...and maybe only print one of the pages...is there an app or a way to do it without logging onto the computer?

Can't set printer preferences

I have been beating my head against this problem for weeks.
For all my local and networked printers, whenever I try to change the preferences, I get the message, “Printer settings could not be saved. Access denied.” I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. There is no error
number shown. I do NOT have the problem when I change the properties on the one printer I have that is accessed as a shared printer through another (good) machine. This is a home setup. I have no password and I am the only administrator.
This would seem to be a permissions problem either on the local print server or in the folder paths involved in printing. I believe that path would be c:\windows\system32\spool and its subfolders.
I am very fortunate to have a second (good) computer that is almost identical to my (bad) machine and on the good computer I can easily change the preferences for all printers.
So I compared literally all the properties of the good and bad machines that were identified in Devices and Printers—Print server properties. I did not find any differences. Then I compared the properties c:\windows\system32\spool
and all its subfolders. There were some minor differences in the subfolder properties, so I changed those properties in the bad machine to match the good machine. It did not help.
I did not notice the problem until I installed my newest printer, so I uninstalled that printer, but the problem was still there. I also got some ideas from searching the web that did not pan out. That included stopping
and starting the windows firewall server and the print spooling server plus reboot. I looked pretty hard, but there isn’t much info on the net about this. A few others have had the problem, but the only posts that claimed a fix were the server
stops, and they didn’t work out for me.
I don’t think I missed something when I tried to match up the properties, but I could have because there is a tremendous amount of detail there. I spend 2 full days doing it.
I am out of ideas, and my head is getting sore. Can anyone help me?

It’s working!!! Thanks to Roger Lu!
Comparison with the good machine showed that the keys HKCU\Printers\DevModePerUse & HKCU\Printers\DevModes2 were corrupted in 3 ways:
1. The group RESTRICTED was missing. Technet search said that would not affect my situation, so I ignored it.
2. My user name had been replaced with “Power Users”. I left it there, but added my user name.
3. Only Special permissions were allowed to any of the users, so I gave SYSTEM, my user name and Administrators full control.
Without Roger Lu’s help and introducing me to Process Monitor, I would have never been able to figure this thing out. Besides that, I now have
a great troubleshooting tool to use in the future.
Thanks, Roger!

How do I set printer preferences?

I can't seem to select my paper types eg. matt, satin or change ink type matte or photo black.

Every printer will be somewhat diffferent but when I print something and want to change some settings the dialogue on my HP Laserjet 1012 looks like:

I would like to set my preferences so that documents always print double-sided without having to click anything other than "print".

I'm trying to set my preferences so that all documents print double-sided automatically without my having to remember to click the "Print on both sides of paper" button. I print literally thousands of PDF files! Duplexed. How do I set this as a preference? PS: I work on a MAC OS X and I have Adobe Acrobat X 10.1.12.

I'm not trying to set the printer preferences, I'm trying to set the
Adobe Acrobat Printer defaults. If I don't click on "Print on both
sides of paper" in the Acrobat Print box, then that overrides my printer
default and prints the document single sided. In the "good old days" I
just chose "Duplex" under "Advanced" and then Acrobat would
automatically duplex all my print jobs until I chose otherwise. Now,
duplex is not an option under Advanced.... I was hoping it had just
been moved elsewhere.

Set TonerSaveMode=On as default printing preference, drag drop PDF to dock

Printing large number of PDF documents by dragging and dropping them to the printer dock icon causes the documents to be printed with default settings (TonerSaveMode=Off) according to (com.apple.print.custompresets.forprinter.BrotherMFC7840W.plist, com.apple.print.lastUsedSettingsPref Dictionary, com.apple.print.preset.settings Dictionary, com.apple.print.JobInfo.PMJobName String) despite:
1. whether "use last settings" are configured in the printing dialog of Preview.app
2. and despite wether the printer itself using its web interface is configured to have Toner Save Mode to be on.
And as it is not allowed to overwrite "default" settings preference, as a result there is no way to set default preferences for a Mac OS X configured printer, other than the paper size.
Is there a way to set a default preference TonerSaveMode=On for a Brother MFC-7840 device (for instance by manually editing the printers default preferences .plist, could you then point me to the exact file to edit)?
PS - The only goal is to drag and drop files to the printer its dock icon, and print these PDF documents with "TonerSaveMode=On" (or "Duplux" or "UsingSpecificTray" or "Resolution300Dpi" etcetera.)

Thanks for pointing me to Cups Admin on localhost:631
The only problem was that the username/password combination would not be accepted. Cups error_log returned: cupsdAuthorize: pam_authenticate() returned 9 (authentication error)!
My short username was easily found with terminal command > whoami
After temporary setting my password to an 8 character length numeric value, the user/password combination was finally accepted and default "Toner Save" = on could be set.

Open the notes app on your phone and tap Accounts on the top left. Tap each of the accounts listed to find out which account your notes belong to. iCloud only syncs notes that belong to the iCloud account. If your notes belong to a different account, you will have to copy and paste the text of each one into new notes created in the iCloud account in order to add them to iCloud and sync them with your other devices.
To ensure that new notes are added to the iCloud account, select the iCloud account from the accounts list before creating the note.

How do I set the print preference to use black ink only?

Despite having a color printer, I want to print in grayscale , black ink only, by default

That depends on your printer and the software that came with the printer. You can consult your printer manual or the online site for your printer manufacturer.
Generally, to change for the '''current session only''', File > Print, click Properties, in the new window see what options are offered. Take special note whether there is an option to use black cartridge only.
To change for '''all future sessions''', click (Windows) Start > Settings > Printers and Faxes, click you printer from the list, in the new window, click Printer > Printing Preferences. You will see the same window as in the instructions for '''current session only''' above, see what options are offered and look for use black cartridge only option. You may need to restart your computer. Test by printing one page that contains colored text or elements.

EPrint Apps, printing Preferences on an HP Officejet Pro 8600 wireless prntr

I have a fabulous HP Officejet 8600 series wireless printer that is connected to my home network. It works beautifully and efficiently! So far, I've had no issues or problems with it, except for one little tweak that I would prefer to adjust if it is at all possible. Can I set the print preferences so that when my Apps are printed (either as a scheduled app, or printed directly from the screen on the printer itself) so that they will print on BOTH SIDES OF THE PAPER??? And/or in DRAFT setting, with print on both sides, and with multiple pages per sheet?? I like to use these settings as often as possible to save on paper and ink and the like. I usually only use the optimal print preferences when its time to produce an essay for school or a flyer or something like that. If anyone can assist me, I would really appreciate it!! And... I hope that my question makes sense ;D!!! Thank you!! Jenni

Hi Jenni welcome to the forum
As I was checking on the properties and cannot find a way to accomplish this. I will do more research and reach out to some peers if I find someway to do this, if I find a way, I will let you know right away. Jenni this will be a good suggestion to make and comming from a from a valued customer HP will put a lot of weight on it. If at any time you need or want to to get the latest information on the latest news in regards Eprint visit Eprint News.

Cannot change my printer preferences

Dear Hp technicians:
Hi I'm from Mexico and I just loged in to my hp e-print center and it took me here. My problem is I find it really difficult to log in from my country coz' hp connected doesn't work, it simply just don't let my Log in. I found that visiting hp connected-uk is the only way to log in. But then, I'm loged in, but I cannot change my printer preference coz' the button doesn't exist, the one that used to say "Change setting" is now just simple text. How can I go back to e-print center instead of HP connected..... Please this is driving me crazy!
I need your help

Hi there, if you've updated your ePrintCenter account to HP Connected you can't revert back. Check out this thread for more information on the change from ePC to HP Connected http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/ePrint-Print-Apps-Mobile-Printing-and-ePrintCenter/HP-Connected-Support...
Can you reply with a screenshot showing exactly what it is you're trying to change? Is it a setting of a printer in the Device tab or is it something in the "Settings" dropdown menu at the top right of the screen below?

SAP should retrieve print preferences in a Crystal report before printing

I would like to submit an enhancement... or a "come back" of something that was working fine before.
Missing functionality referring to message #88318 opened at the end of January 2011
Version: 8.8 u2013 PL18
Description of requirements:
Automatically select the appropriate page layout in SAP B1 when the page layout has been saved in a Crystal report. So, the user wonu2019t have to change his u201CPrint preferencesu201D in SAP before printing a document with a different layout.
Valid as of: N/A
Business needs: (Please describe the impact on your business, if the functionality is not realized)
Any people who has to print a report doesnu2019t want to always think about what should be the layout of this specific report and then have to change it in B1 before printing. This is a loss of time, more over when the layout has been saved in the u201CPrint preferencesu201D of the report itself (for example, 8½ X 14 or Landscape) so the user should not have to manually select it in addition.
The print preview is correct in CR and in B1 but then, when sending the preview to the printer, the printing is not correct. It is not on the same format.
Examples: (Please describe a typical example, how the functionality should work.)
I have a Crystal Report saved in 8½ X 14 format.
I preview it within Crystal Report --> Ok
I send it to the printer via Crystal Report --> Ok
I preview it within SAP --> Ok
I send it to the printer via SAP --> THIS SHOULD BE PRINTED THE WAY IT IS PREVIEWED
Current Workaround: (Please describe the workarounds you are using at the moment)
The users have to change their print preferences in B1 before printing the report ! This is a loss of time !
Proposed solution:
SAP should take in consideration the printing preferences saved in Crystal, so it will print the report accordingly to the print definition, using the appropriate tray. Since the print preview is okay, it should print that way.
This was working fine in 8.8-PL11u2026

Thank you for your reply. It works in this specific report.
But we have both PLD and Crystal Report in the system, changing the settings means the PLD will lose their watermark...
Also, I don't know how the Draft is displayed, but when select Print Preview for Draft, it's asking for parameter (DocEntry), which I have setup a DocKey@ in Crystal Report and set it in the Selection Manager. Does SAP provide DocEntry in Draft Invoice (ODRF) the same way as in Invoice (OINV)?
Thanks,
Grace

How to set printer margins if using a lot of printers in virtual desktops which are deleted each time users logs off

Hello,
i am using Firefox version 31. I have a problem with page setup margins. I need to use left
30mm; right 10mm; top 20mm; bottom 20mm. I am using VMware floating assignemnt linked clones
virtual desktops. After users log off - machines are deleted and users next time logs on get's brand
new VDI's. Users gets printers to VDI using login script from Active Directory.
Option Explicit
Dim strPrinterUNC, objNetwork
strPrinterUNC = "\\some_server\printer_number_1"
Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection strPrinterUNC
WScript.Sleep (20000)
objNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter strPrinterUNC
Set objNetwork = Nothing
Each user have different logon script, because they use different printers (different printer names e.g. \\some_server\printer_number_2 ; \\some_server\printer_number_3 and etc. Page setup margins in Internet Explorer are ok. But how to make Firefox page setup margins as i need? For other options i have
used CCK2 Wizard 2.0.4 tool. It worked fine. Maybe i can put some information in C:\Program
Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\autoconfig.js I have some usefull data in it allready. I
have found info that: "Setting print margins is done in the printer settings". I have a lot of
printers, so i can not set printer margins individualy for each of them. Now mozilla shows top,
bottom, right, left each 12.7 mm. What should i do if i have a lot of printers in enterprise
environment?

Firefox has a profile folder that has preferences to save this. But the config that would need to be changed is:
print. save_print_settings = True - (default): Save the print settings after each print job
Locking that preference: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences]
Or done manually:
#In order to check the margins, we need to go to ''File'' > ''Page Setup''.
#Once this is done, switch to the ''Margins & Header/Footer'' tab.
#Check what's set there under ''Margins''.
The following are the default values for ''Margins'':
Check these values accordingly and change them if necessary.

Officejet pro 8500 a909g, limited user accounts can't use printing preferences

The above discription explains most of it. I had install this 8500 printer, then shortly after, uninstalled the other two older printers I was previously using. That is when the problem started. I can not access printing preferences from a document or from control panel\printer and faxes. But I am able to access from the administrater account. I did an online chat with HP help and what we did made sence, but did not work. We went into the security tab in properties and added the limited user account for all permissions and reboted the computer. Did not work!!!! I have a dell laptop, windows xp pro, and the printer software is now uninstalled. the window that pops up when I click on properties is: Function address 0x50085a97 caused a protection fault. (exception code 0x0000005) Some or all property pages may no be displayed. I don not have this problem as an administrater only as a limited user.

I had this similar problem. Installed this printer a few months back and for some time it was printing fine. Recently, I changed the default preferences to black/white, draft, low ink etc etc. Now if I click on the Properties I get this same window:
*** (x50085a97 caused protection fault (exception code 9xc0000005 some or all property pages could not be displayed) ***.
Running XP on an Dell Intel Pentium and it happens irrespective of the application I am using - usually firefox or staroffice. 9 times out of 10 I can't change the properties, but occasionally it allows me too then reverts back. So now I am stuck with everything printing black/white as that's the default I set! Any suggestions welcome.

How do i change the printer preferences

Hi I have just got my iMac with Aperture up and running. I would like to print some photos but I cannot find where I can alter the printer preferences to show the correct type of paper? anyone know the answer?
Thanks

Press the print command (Command P) and the preferences are there. You can customize them and even save specific preferences you have set up. Each printer will be different depending on that printers abilities, for example on the printer I currently have connected it looks something like:

Is there a way to set a preference for image resolution in PSE10?

Once I transfer image files from the camera to the Organizer (PSE10), they are listed in the information panel window as having a resolution of 180. I use the printer more than the internet for these files, so I really want the resolution to be 300 or above, and would like to set a preference to that effect. I know that I can resize them individually, or by a group, but I'd like to get the resolution set properly in the first place rather than adding yet antoher setp in my post processing efforts. I am assuming that the resolution is set by PSE10 because I can't find anywhere in the camera's (Canon Powershot SX40 HS) user manual that mentions that the camera sets a resolution. Is there some way that I can adjust the resolution that PSE10 assigns the images when they are imported into the Organizer? I'm using Windows 7 with 12GB Ram. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much for the info. I certainly appreciate it. I’ve been looking everywhere I could think of for how the resolution gets to be 180, and couldn’t find it. I wish they’d have something in their manual about that. Your info helps tremendously. Thanks again..
