Setting print quality in 3.0 starter

I am running the PhotoAlbum 3.0 starter edition. When I try to print on my HP Photosmart 7660 printer I set the preferences to "best" print quality but when it prints the printer window says "normal". Therefor I'm not getting the quality prints I want. Hp says its the software. Tryed downloading the software again but it didn't help. Any suggestions?

I've got the same problem with PhotoAlbum 3.0 starter edition and my HP 1200 printer. Can't get it to print in Best Quality mode. Please post your solution if you find one.
Thanks

How Do I Set Print Quality in PSE 10 to above 720 DPI?

Hello Everyone,
I am trying to print a 4888px x 3456px (A4 aspect ratio) to an A4 sheet from an Epson SC-P600 inkjet printer.
In the PSE 10 Print Dialog Box I have set PSE to Manage Colours and selected my printer ICC profile. From the Print Dialog Box's "More Options" window I click Printer Preferences and set the Print Driver's Print Quality to SuperPhoto 5760dpi x 1440dpi.
After clicking OK a few times to get back to the PSE10 Print Dialog Box, I see 720 DPI as the Print Quality value at Item 2 - Printer Settings on the right hand side of the PSE print dialog box. Even if I change the printer driver's print quality to 1440dpi x 1440 dpi, the print quality value remains at 720 DPI at item 2 in the PSE print dialog box.
I expected to see a value of either 1440 DPI or 5760 DPI values in the PSE print dialog box after setting the print quality in the printer driver.
How can I tell the PSE10 print dialog box that my printer is set to 1440dpi, or higher, or will the printer still print at the the printer driver's setting regardless of the DPI value in the PSE print dialog box?

save your settings as a preset... after you click print and change your settings... click on the Presets drop down and save as... it defaults to the last used preset provided you saved your changes.

Can we set Print Quality and Page 'Fit in to paper' thrue AS

Hi All,
while taking Movieclip printout thru actionscipt, whatever text i used inside the Movieclip is get blurred. Moreover the print is not fit into the paper size (A4 size used).
Is there any setting available to change resolution while its get convert to bitmap and also is there any option to set "fit in to the paper size"
Here i am using this...
import flash.display.BitmapData;
var newBitmap:BitmapData = new BitmapData(myMC._width, myMC._height);
var tempMC:MovieClip = this;
var printFC:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
newBitmap.draw(myMC);
tempMC.createEmptyMovieClip("printMC", 1);
printMC.attachBitmap(newBitmap, 1);
printFC.start();
printFC.addPage(printMC, null, {printAsBitmap:true});
printFC.send();

I found the solution form a website !!!
I missed out to mention the parameter while attaching bitmap.
The correct code is...
printMC.attachBitmap(newBitmap, 1, "auto", true);
"auto" is for pixelSnapping
true is for smoothing
Thanks,

I want to set media quality to print on a Canon Pixma IP 4000, where do I do that?

I have had that problem with other printers too. Am using Photoshop CS3. When using Windows on a PC I can set printing quality and chose media without a problem. On the Mac I only can set size. Is the pixma 4000 too old? What Canon printer would work, if that is the problem?

I'm having a similar problem, but I do have the key and is not working anyway.
My old pc was running on windows 7 and my new one is an apple running on Lion.
My phone is an Iphone IV and I can see all the bookmarks there.
In order to sync, what I did was click on the "I don't have the device with me", I entered the key that was provided and the process finish ok. It says congratulations, etc, etc.
But the bookmarks are not there, I tried merging data and replacing data on this computer options but is the same.
Any suggestions?

Print Quality Question

When using the J6400 series there are several ways to set print quality.... There is the button on the front of the machine as well as the printing shortcuts that show up under preferences when you click on print. Which selection over-rides the other and takes priority? I have several customized shortcuts that use fast-draft and black cartridge only. I'm hoping the button on the machine that always defaults to mid-level quality doesn't take priority over my customized settings.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
AppleWorks changes the resolution of all graphic formats except PICT to 72 dpi. There are a couple of things you can do improve the print quality of images.
1. Turn on Fractional Character widths in Preferences > General > Topic: Text. This is a text setting, but it does improve the print quality of images.
Open the image in Preview (32-bit) or GraphicConverter & Save As... a PICT to use in AppleWorks. PICT is generally the best format to use for inserting or pasting into AppleWorks.

Controlling print quality from the touchscreen on the MG6320

Hello, I have a two-part question. I'm interested in controlling print quality from the touchscreen display.
1. Can I set print quality (i.e. - choose draft/fast mode) from the touchscreen display?
2, if I can and do set it there, will my selection apply to all future print jobs until I change the setting again, or will it just apply to the one print job in the queue at the time, etc?
I hope my questions are clear. Many thanks for your help.
Solved!

Hi Ralp51,
The print quality of documents printed from your computer is controlled be the printer driver on the computer. The quality cannot be adjusted from the PIXMA MG6320 itself.

Can you set a default print quality?

Good Morning Everyone,
I've been putting up with this annoyance since I install PSE 8. I've looked for a solution but can't find one. Hope you can help.
Here's the problem.
Every time I print a document PSE 8 defaults to a print quality of 1200 dpi, which take forever to print. So I have been clicking on
Change setting, then if I click on the drop down box for print quality the only choice is 1200, so I click on advanced setting and choose
normal (which is 600) click ok and print. But I have to do this every time I print. I'm using a HP C3100 all in one printer and I've check the printer
properities and they are set to a default of normal (600 dpi). Any ideas?
Thanks
Nancy

Nancy,
We have had several posts recently relating to printers and PSEv.8. Check on the HP site for updated drivers for your model. If there is an updated driver, install it. Let us know how you make out.

In Aperture 2 I could set a print quality of "high" or similar, I don't see such a choice in Aperture 3. I'm using an Epson Stylus 2200. Is there such a choice?

In Aperture 2 I could set a print quality of "high" when printing photos on an Epson 2200. Now I'm using Aperture 3 with the same printer. I don't see a similar choice and I'm getting banding issues on the prints. The photos print much too fast. How do I correct this?

Thanks for the input!
Restarting the computer was the obvious first thing to try, but had no effect.
I have over 2GB free memory and still experiencing the issue.
It does take a few seconds to load the Live View for the first time, but that's not my problem. My problem is that with Live View already loaded, it takes over 30 seconds after saving changes to the php file before I can see the changes in the Live View (I'm clicking the refresh button once a second, and on the thirty something time I'll finally see my changes).
With "Preview Using Temporary Files" turned off, I get the behavior I've been describing.
Turning "Preview Using Temporary Files" on does actually mitigate the issue for me, though, so thank you for that suggestion!
     - I can see changes in my Live View instantly after saving and clicking the refresh button.
     - I can see changes using Preview in Browser instantly too... but the browsers refresh button has no effect (which makes sense since the temporary file it's looking at hasn't changed).
     - I can actually get some work done now.
However, I still feel that I should be able see my changes in Live View immediately after saving and clicking the refresh button without using "Preview Using Temporary Files", and I'd like to be able to leave the page open in my browser and just click the browser's refresh button to see my recently saved changes instantly.
So Long Story Short:
     Using "Preview Using Temporary Files" has definitely helped!
     But I still have no way to see my changes immediately without using temporary files, so something still seems fishy.

6500a E1710n-z Printer (unable to alter print quality setting off of 300 dpi)

How can I change the print quality setting up or down. The preferences are locked on 300 dpi no matter what I change. Sometimes if I delete all drivers and reload the setting will come back at 600 dpi but again the settings are un-changable. I have tried for 2 weeks to get an answer and no one seems to know. Please help!

Hi bnachsin,
hmmmm...can you describe the software application you are using when printing, and attempting to change the print settings? Also, can you note which OS (Win7, etc) you are using?
Lastly, can you describe if this only happen with certain print jobs (text, etc) or all print jobs, and describe what you are printing?
bhachsin,
it occured to me that this device may be relying on a media sensor to perform paper type/width detection.
Question: are you using specific/special paper (colored, pre-printed paper, or cheques) for your print job?
Quick test: If you are using special paper, try using a white, plain sheet of paper instead of the paper you using and let me know the results.

HP Officejet Pro 6830 print quality

I have a brand new HP Officejet Pro 6830, I set it up following the instructions and it was working fine for a few days. Then I started getting error messages about the printhead, and messages telling me that I had installed genuine recycled HP ink cartridges and did I want to buy nbew genuine ones. Now I am no longer getting error messages but the print quality is awful, half of it not printing properly. Any suggestions gratefully received. I have tried the sum of my knowledge - switching it off and back on again! Thanks.

C4380 Print Quality Default Settings

Does the C4380 printer have the ability to default print quality to "Fast/Economical" (Draft) rethare than "Normal". I only need to print in draft 90% of the time, but in order to save ink, I have to change preferences each time from "normal" to "fast/economical". This seems time-consuming, costly and environmentally wasteful. I would have thought it was possible to set the printer to ALWAYS print in Draft, unless changed by the user on a per-session or per-occasion basis. I have looked in User Guide to see if default can be changed but never managed to find anything.

This querie has some age on it but friend just give me a C4380 that she replaced with new hp printer.
Anyway to set default on 4380 from Windows:
>start
>contol panel
>printers & faxes
right > c4380
>properties
on general tab @ bottom >printing preferences (choose draft from dropdown box)
>apply
>ok
also most of my printing is black

Adobe addin for Excel loses Print Quality settings

I have Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Addin from Acrobat 10.0 installed in Excel 2010. I have a workbook with numerous worksheets. Normally, the print quality is set at 600 dpi. Some of the worksheets sometimes switch randomly to 72 dpi. There are 2 problems with that. One is that it messes up the pagination which isn't a big deal. The other is that every time the print job hits a worksheet with a different dpi setting, it forces a new file instead of printing everything as one output file. Resetting the Print Quality settings and saving the file does not keep it from happening over and over. What would cause this and how can it be fixed?
Thanks,
Barry

Hi Bill@VT,
Thanks for your response. I guess I should clarify a few things. The PDFMaker addin actually shows up in the printer list as 'Adobe PDF'. So, yes, I am changing the printer to Adobe PDF before I "print" to the PDF file. I do not know what a "settings file" is. Can you elaborate on that? I should also mention that this process worked fine for a couple years before it started acting weird a few months ago.
I am skeptical that the Excel file itself is the problem, only because the dpi setting is in the printer driver and is not one of the settings accessible using the VBA macro language.
Regards,
Barry

Print quality of an officejet 6500 wireless all-in-one E709n

I purchased this printer as part of an Apple promotion with a MacBookPro. The color is extremely poor. Was told by an HP tech. that they were host cartridges only to be used for setting up the printer. Anyone else experience this? Also, when I print out an email, the top part of the message is cut off. How do I fix that? Apple won't exchange for another as I already recycled the box. Do I just have a bum printer? It does respond to print commands and I have it hooked to a desktop iMac via USB and to my laptop via wireless. That works...unfortunately, the quality is horrible.

I think our HP tech support agent gave you incorrect advice. Out of the box, the color quality should be spot on.
When you say the color is extremely poor, do you see this with photo printing or general purpose color documents?
Also, have you tried performing a print head cleaning and an alignment? The alignment should have been done automatically when you first setup the printer but it doesn't hurt to do it again.
Finally, give HP tech support a call again and politely press your case. Don't let them tell you it's a host supply issue since the 6500 doesn't use this type of starter ink. If you are unhappy with the printer's print quality, insist on a replacement.
BTW -- I have a prototype Officejet 6500 and I think it's a good office printer.

How to change print quality on cp1515n

We recently purchased a HP CP1515n colour printer to replace a HP 2600n printer. The print quality is excellent but the problem is the printer (CP1515n) is using alot of toner compared to the 2600n. For example the black toner which is rated at 2200 prints will run out before it does 700 prints according to the web console for the printer. Is there anyway to reduce the amount of toner used by dropping the print quality ?
On most printers in the quality settings in the driver (printer properties) you can chose an economy quality setting such as economy, draft or low which uses alot less toner. On this printer there is only one setting ImageREt 3600 which uses alot of toner due to the way it prints. I have upgraded the firmware on the printer, downloaded the latest driver and checked all the manuals etc but can't find how to do this.
Could you please help.
Thanks.

The only solution I found was to turn off the out of toner warning on the printer. It then continues to print normally for a long time after the message starts to appear. The new toners in the UK are £50 each (including postage) which makes £200 for a full set but a new printer is about £150 normally. Seems strange how the price of a print + toners is alot less than the price of the toners. I also found some CP1515n's for sale at £100 each so bought one to use its toners, which works out at £25 per toner. HP's pricing policy on toners is a bit strange.

Print Quality HP Photosmart 5510

I have a HP Photosmart 5510 operating on Windows XP OS. The printing has started to print crooked on the page no matter if it's a print, copy or scan. I did a Print Quality Diagnostic Report and the Pen Alignment Status was a:Fail.
I then printed an alignment page but the scanner would not recognise it.
Any ideas what is causing this?
