Setting Download, Scan, Print Capture d/l Defaults

Is there a single way to determine where everything is going on my Mac?
For instance, I have a default folder that I can set through Pages for my scans, I have a default web download folder that I set through Safari (?), I have a default location for Print Captures that I set in ____________, I have a default location for email downloads that I set through Thunderbird (I think), if I don't import directly to iPhoto where does the upload photo default folder get set etc, etc.
Thanks!

Thanks. Man, they should gather these all up. It would be nice to have a Actions tab...
Can I please ask you if there is a way to globally set the Open With settings for software? I know I get a list in my email handler about what to do with certain file types, is there something similar in Mac? I've been setting this by right clicking on the file and setting the answer to Always Perform this Action. But this is a pita.
Lastly, is there any reason other than some kind of system corruption why I should not see one of these settings "stick"? I mean, they get applied immediately, yes? I set jpg to open with Photoshop Elements and the next time I double click on a jpg I should get it to open in Elements and not Pages?! Is there some other setting that could conflict with this?
Thanks,
- Jon

Setting Print Capture File Name Defaults

Hi All.
Major tweakage here.
Is there a way to set the Mac Print Capture default information? Right now I get something like "screenshot 2010-06-22 at 1.09.32.png". Is there a way to get rid of the time stamp?
Is there a way to do this for /scans/ that come in through Pages?
Are there other default stamps such as this that I can collate in a single coherent way?
Thanks.
Jon
P.S. Not sure if there is a better place to post this or not...

Thank you very much.
If anyone finds an affirmative answer to this and can post it to the thread I will get a notification of the answer. This one would be a nice one to be able to streamline things over here...

How to set download resolution to low rez as default?

Have limited data download. Want all data downloads to default to lowest resolution to reduce amount of data downloaded.

In the old days, sites sometimes specified a "low res" version of images, which the browser could load more quickly as a placeholder for a better quality version of the image. I don't know whether sites do that any more, so I'm not sure what signal Firefox could check for whether a lower resolution version is available.
Meanwhile, to stop Firefox from downloading images automatically, you could consider an add-on such as Image Block: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/image-block/ (adds a toolbar button so you have more control over when to download images).
Are there other kinds of content that raise a similar concern to images?
I guess videos... I haven't researched how to prefer a low-res video. Most users seem to be looking for HD resolution. But maybe there's an add-on for this, too? If you find anything in your research, please post back with your solution.

HP Scan and Capture Can't change the location that scanned documents go to

I just upgraded to Windows 8.1. I scanned a word document using HP Scan and Capture and the default location to save files is now "This PC". I can see the folders under "This PC" and can save the document to one of the folders, but I can no longer browse to anything else. If I click on This PC, I have the option to go to OneDrive, This PC or Network.
If I click on Network - I can type in \\mycomputer but it just let's me select a folder. I'm trying to get to an external hard drive and I've tried typing \\external drive, \\f, \\f:, \\f:\
Anyone have any suggestions? I've gone to the preference section of HP Scan and Capture and when I select that I want to change the default location where I save the files, it puts me back to the This PC area.

Hello mnmjackson, and welcome to the HP Forums.
I see you are running into issues with your scans save location. I would like to try and assist.
I would recommend creating a new destination folder, and manually type out the full file path.

Printing to greyscale by default with the Canon CLC 4040-H1 v2.0 PS Driver

We recently got our new Canon CLC 4040-H1 up and running with the v2.0 PS Driver.
The problem is, unlike our Canon 3220-C1, we're unable to set it to print to greyscale by default.
In the client driver software for both the 3220-C1 and the 4040-H1 there is a drop down menu for choosing colour, greyscale or "printer's default." The "printer's default" option is also the drop down menu's default setting.
The problem is, as opposed to the 3220-C1, the 4040-H1's Fiery onboard driver software doesn't have an option under PS Setup to choose what you want this default setting to be. So the default is colour.
We've got our technical engineer's looking into it further but I'm not holding my breath. In typical Canon style we have a regression inherent in our "upgrade" and trying to get Canon or EFI to update this driver software will probably be like getting blood out of a stone.
So, does anyone know a work-around for this? Have I overlooked anything?

Hello Christiaan,
We don't use this setting on our iR C5185-H1, as we have a b&w iR for text-only work, but I checked the H1 config page and agree that no setting is available to default the machine to grayscale. The interesting thing is that without the H1, the iR C does have the ability to set b&w as a default, but this setting is not available when the H1 is attached.
The only thing I can suggest is to create a b&w preset and educate your users on using this preset. Note that once a preset is selected, it will stay the default until the preset is changed.

How do I set my Ricoh Aficio SP C220N to Default to print only Black and White?

HI Guys can you help?
How do I set my Ricoh Aficio SP C220N to Default to print only Black and White? When I check print Grey Scale box it uses the other colours to create the black instead of using the black toner cartridge. doing this from a PC works fine but not of a Mac and I am a newbie at this can you help as I don't want to waste any more colour ink unnecessarily.

Hi,
Follow the steps below to print using Black Ink only:
1. From the application used to print, click the File menu and select Print. The Print window appears.
NOTE: The Print window might be minimized: Click the Show Details button to see all available settings.
2. To access the color options, click the lowest selection box listed as the name of the program (e.g. TextEdit)
Will appear as Copies & Pages within Microsoft Office applications.
3. Select Paper Type/Quality from the drop-down menu.
4. Click the triangle next to Color Options to expend the settings.
5. Set the Color field as Grayscale.
6. Set the Grayscale Mode as Black Ink Cartridge Only.
You may save the settings for future use by clicking Presets > Save Current Settings as Preset...
Any used preset will remain default so simply select teh standard preset to print in color.

HOW DO I CHANGE MY PRINT SETTINGS SO THAT THEY STAY SET TO MY PRINTER DEFAULTS?????????????????????????????????????????

This one issue is probably the one thing that would make me abandon Firefox FOREVER (besides the problems with Flash). If I change print settings for ONE COPY I have nothing but HELL trying to get my print settings BACK to my PRINTER defaults. Why can't Firefox be like the REST of the computer world and have the PRINTER DEFAULTS override Firefox?????
I made a change yesterday and I have NOT been able to get it changed BACK to the defaults.
Is thois too complicated?

How to Set up Print As Image Registry Default.

This is a response to the archived post at:
martin hrubes, "How to customize printing by registry - print as image" #, 6 Nov 2007 2:28 am
I was trying to find out how to set the "Print As Image" advanced setting to be enabled by default. Here is what I discovered through trial and error.
1. The setting is stored per user and per printer. (i.e. it has to be set for each printer for each user.)
2. The registry setting is stored in the following key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\8.0\General\cPrintAsImage]
3. In this key, each printer has a separate binary value named s0, s1, s2, etc. The number increments by 1 for each printer added. If you open the value data, you will see it contains the name of the printer encoded in hex. (ex. hex coded for \\Server\Printer1)
My recomendation is to open a pdf file in reader, go to File -> Print ->Select Desired Printer -> Click "Advanced" Options -> Enable "Print As Image" -> Click OK - Click OK again. Repeat for each printer you want to
change.
**NOTE** If you don't click OK both times (i.e. cancel the print dialog), the change will not be saved. You have to actually print something to the printer. If you don't want to print something, make sure the printer is offline or not accessible (unplug the network, usb, parallel, serial cable) first. Once the printer has been changed, it will keep the setting until to you change it.
After you have set-up all of the desired printers, open RegEdit and navigate to the above key. Right click on it, and export it. Note the file name and location you are saving to. Close RegEdit. "Edit" (Right Click) the file just exported ("Opening" the file will just import it back into the registry.). Once opened, highlight and copy the registry key and all of the registry values. Paste the key and values at the end of the file. In one of the keys change "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\" to "HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\". Save and exit the file.
When imported this file will enable the "Print As Image" setting for the currently logged in user plus add the setting to the default users profile so any new users to the machine will have it enabled by default also. However, it will not add it to any other user profiles that already exist on the computer. To do this, either use a login script for domain computers or add the reg file to the "All Users Startup" folder.
It would be nice to have a setting in the deployment custimazation wizard to handle this, but for now we're stuck with enabling it the hard way.

Yes Spyla, please see this link http://www.404techsupport.com/2008/09/09/make-adobe-reader-and-adobe-acrobat-use-print-as- image-setting-by-default-2/comment-page-1/#comment-3112.
Allan, many thanks for your post, it certainly helped point me in the right direction. what I found though is that you do not need to tick the print as image box at any point during the setting up of this. All you need to do is add the registry key for whichever version of Adobe you are using for this to work. So basically. what you are saying for each instance of Adobe is regardless of whether or not the print as image is selected, the registry key is saying always print as image for the printer as specified by the hex code. I have found that for network printers, you have to include the full path i.e. \\<servername>\<printername> e.g \\testserver\printer1 and convert all of that to hex. With later versions (9 up over), they have allowed for the string name of the printer so that it is just plain text which also makes life easier.
What I do is apply this registry entry via Group Policy on a per room basis so that we only ever need to add one printer to the list. you could do this globally by adding all printers sequentially using s0, s1, s2 or t0, t1, t2 etc depending on which version you are using. The screenshot shows the registry key for 1 printer for Adobe Reader 8.
The value data is the binary code for the actual full printer name
This works a treat.
Hope this helps
Thanks

Downloaded Epsom printer app need help to set printer up on iPad 3

Need help to set up Epsom printer to ipad3 downloaded Epsom app can find the printer but don't know where to set up

It's Epson, not epsom. Epsom refers to epsom salt (magnesium sulfate).
... Anyway, iPads don't have printers directly set up. You might interface with a printer over a WiFi. That could be done either using Apple's AirPrint (if the printer is new enough) or maybe you have Epson's iPrint utility.
If you have the iPrint utility, you simply open the utility, click the "maintenance" button in the lower left, and select the "Printer" on the top and set it up there.

I used to be able to print a mosaic cover from the print tab but after downloading the most recent (10.2.2) version I cannot. Though it seems to be showing the mosaic cover in print set-up it prints a play list only. Can someone respond with help

I used to be able to print a mosaic CD cover from the print tab after purchasing music but after downloading the most recent (10.2.2) version I cannot. Though it seems to be showing the mosaic cover in the print set-up it prints a play list only. Can someone respond with help in fixing this? I've tried several times with different down-loaded music but no success.

The recent releases of iTunes have brought a bunch of bugs into the printing of CD covers.
Some people report that directing the iTunes print output to PDF, and then printing to paper from the PDF, solved their problem. Others have reported that it did not help. Worth a try.

Any suggestions for a program for my Macbook Pro that will allow me to download/scan a document, fill in form as needed and e-mail or print. Any suggestions?

How to reset Deskjet All in one printer 2645 to its default setting?

how to reset Deskjet All in one printer 2645 to its default setting?So I can change the paper size.

We have difficulty in using the printer for "photocopy" purposes. This is because our printer doesn't have "specific options" for paper sizes. When copying, the only option default in our printer was : A4 plain, A4 photo & 4 x 6.. Our question is, how can we have the "specific options" for paper sizes ( legal, letter, or A4 size )? Do we need to "restore to defaults" our printer? Can you give us a step-by-step instructions to deal with our problem? Thanks.

How do I set up the printer default so that it prints black only, with all my devices and iMac

Have an Officejet 8600 Plus, used with an iMac. Also using wireless feature to print from iPads and iPhones. The printer has been setup from the iMac to print using the black ink cartridge, only. The problem is with my devices. I am unable to figure out how to set up the printer to print in black when I print from my devices. Is there a solution to this?

Hi symo46, welcome to the HP Forums. I understand you are trying to determine how to print with black ink only from your iPad. As you may have experienced using Airprint you will not have any options other than number of copies, however the HP ePrint App may have the option you are looking for.
When printing from the HP ePrint App, if you are printing Office documents or PDFs you can use black ink only.

Officejet Pro 8600 e. Problem scanning from Scan and Capture App in Win 8.1

Officejet Pro 8600 e. New.
Installed on HP Envy 23 Touch. Running Windows 8.1.
Wireless set up. Prints fine. Problem is scanning from the HP Scan and Capture Software App in Win 8.1
Using Scan and Capture App I can scan photos fine. They come out clear. Scanning documents in GRAY has multiple bands/lines in gray over the entire page running vertically. Scanning documents in COLOR are fine.
Also, if I scan from the printer directly using the touch screen on the printer, the scan output is fine.
I did the Scan utilty to discover any errors and it did not show any. I think it's a software error. I am going to uninstall the HP Scan App and then reinstall. So, I will do the uninstall/reinstall and report back.
Also, I would like to know if there is a desktop program for scanning? I would prefer to use that instead of the Modern HP Scan and Capture App.
Thanks....

Hi artrum,
I understand you've been experiencing issues scanning from your Officejet 8600 using the Windows Scan and Capture program. I will certainly do my best to help you with this!
From what you've explained, I believe you're correct, it does seem like it's an issue just with the Windows Scan and Capture program and as you've been able to scan from the front panel of the printer you definitely have the HP software installed. What I'd like to do is have you use the HP Scan software, where you should no longer run into issues.
To access the HP Scan software and be able to access it easily from your desktop I'd like you to follow the steps below:
1. Go to your start screen and just start typing File Explorer. You should be able to then open it to access your computer's files.
2. Then open Local Disk (C: ), followed by Program Files (x86), followed by HP, then HP Officejet Pro 8600, followed finally by bin.
3. In the bin folder you should see HPScan. You will want to right click on HPScan and go to Send To and then select Desktop.
Now you should see HP Scan on your desktop and be able to open it and scan through that application.
Hope this helps, have a great day!
