Setup printer defaults settings in BI reports

Hi,
Our client has given us some new requirements to be able to setup printer defaults settings in BI reports so that when the user opens up the report the printing format is set for them. All the user has to do is refresh the BI report and then it will print correctly for them, with Headers and Footers.
Now, I know we can not do this with the Query Designer, but we may be able to do it with workbooks, but what I dont know is if there are other options we can take to do this. Such as the Report Designer? I have never used the Report Designer so I dont know if we can build reports using the Report Designer and that the user can access and run this report from somewhere such as the portal.
Can any one please help in this regard.
Regards,
Sharma

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?

How can I change printer default settings?

Officejet J5700 series:
How can I set the default settings so I dont have to change the printer Properties each time I print?

just thought of one thing that may have solved the problem. I had not changed color management from automatic to manual. I did that and it seems to now be working the way I want it. More later if that doesn't hold across reboot, log out, etc.

Correct printer default settings

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
Can someone help me !!!!
This is driving me nuts.
For some reason the Default settings, when I print anything on my home printer have changed.
- Paper size - other
- orientation - landscape
Therefore everytime I print I get 1/2 the print coming over the right hand side of the page.
I can correct, but need to do this every time I print.
Can someone please tell me how I can change the default print settings for my printer, so I don't have to change them ever single time I print.
Many thanks
have a great day
Regards
Mark

Hello diedoggie,
You can change the default printer settings in CUPS.
Just go to: http://localhost:631/admin > Manage printers > Select your printer > Change "Administration" to "Set Default Options". When you're done, you click "Set Default Options".

Change printer default settings

I have and HP Officejet Pro 8600. The print default setting is to print colour. How do I set the default setting to Black Ink
Regards

Go to Devices and Printers, right click the printer, click Printing Preferences then go to Advance tab, usually there is an option there that you have to set to print only in grayscale. Hit Apply then ok, then close the window.

Mac print default settings by document?!

i am on a mac running Mountain Lion. I have an HP 8600 and an Epson Wide Format. I have documents that are 11 x 17 and 12 x 18. these all seem to default to print on my 8600 at 8 x 11.
this means that every time i try to print these documents i have to hit PAGE SETUP, then I have to pulldown to the EPSON, then i have to pull down to 11 x 17 PAPER, then i have to hit OK, then i have to pull down to ESPON AGAIN (because the default printer that i use is the 8600 for 8 x 11 prints).
half the time i make some kind of mistake and the document comes out on the 8600 on 8 x 11 at the /correct/ size (even though it is missing half the document) /or/ it comes out on the Espon on 11 x 17 paper as if it was being scaled to fit for 8 x 11.
is there some way to figure out how to print out of Acrobat X in some more reliable way? is there some technical document that explains this? the software suite was like 1200 US or something i would think that i would not continue to have these kinds of problems.
is there some step by step guide for setting up presets? another solution?
it took me about a year and a half to finally figure out how to simply print to 12 x 18 paper (don't ask) and i am still manually swapping out paper trays for slot 1 so that i can print on 11 x 17 or 12 x 18 respectively simply because trying to find another variable in these dialogs is like adding a multiplicity factor which makes the possible combinations like trying to calculate the parabolic trajectory for landing on the moon from earth.
should i just give up and print out of Mac Preview?
anyone able to explain why this is so complicated?
THANKS

I work at a PC, AA9, but is there an option in your print dialog
Choose Paper Source by PDF Page Size?
assumes the documents are 11 x 17, 12 x 18
Optionally, you might create a 2nd (and 3rd) instance of your Epson printer and change it's default paper size to 11 x 17 (12 x 18) and name the printer Epson Tabloid (Epson Tabloid Extra). Choose the appropriate printer per the document.

Label Printer Default Settings Changing

I have several Crystal reports designed in version 10 that are printed to a particular Dymo labelwriter. The same labelwriter model is installed on several PCs and the report is saved calling out that specific printer and label size. The report always prints to the proper printer (regardless of the PC's default printer) but they do not print to the labelwriter default label size. My PC is the only exception; all others that print labels require users to select the appropriate label size. Each labelwriter printer driver is defaulted to the same label size, but the crystal report viewer doesn't seem to pick that up. What am I missing??

Please re-post if this is still an issue or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly

Set print default settings to grayscale?

Is there a way to set the default print settings to grayscale like you can on a Windows computer?
I have an HP Photosmart B210E, but the only way to print grayscale all the time is to be sure to set it on File/Print's dialog or replace my printer with a Grayscale only one.

Mine is with OS X 10.7.2. Hope this helps.
1. Once you click print from whatever applications of your Mac. It should be like this
Then click drop-down list. Go to "Quality & Media", as in above picture.
2. In "Quality & Media" menu, mark on "Grayscale printing" as shown in below picture.
3. Go to "Presets" 's drop-down list. Select "Save Current Settings as Preset..."
as shown below.
4. Choose your Preset Name, as well as its availability. (see following picture). Then click OK.
>>>> Now you're done.
Next time you print, just select from Presets' drop-down list as you saved it!

Hi,
Ofcourse, its different issue...Can you explain me why you have used the below code
*&--GET THE EXISTING DEFAULT PARAMETERS
CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'
EXPORTING
no_dialog = 'X'
IMPORTING
out_parameters = l_t_params.
I mean you are importing the existing default parameters but you are not modifying the parameters in l_t_params. I hope you are not required above code.

Change printer default settigns for all sheets

We are running Office 2007/2010/2013. Normally, our client send us an excel file with 20 or 30 jobs (sheets).
Our Canon printer default settings is 2 sided on 1 page. When we change the default settings from 2 sided to 1 sided, we need to do it one sheet at one time. In other words, we need to do it 20 or 30 times for that excel file. We wonder
how to change the settings from 2 sided to 1 sided that will change whole book settings.

Windows 7 Thinkvantage Access Connections 5.41 does not stick to printer default

hi
i have installed windows 7 on 3 lenovo laptops (x60s, x61, t500) and installed AC 5.41 but and have configured them with 5 profiles each with their own default printer preferences but for some reason when i toggle from 1 profile to another the default printer setting does not change accordingly
this is really annoying as i have managed to print documents to the wrong printer a couple of times and it seems to be accross the board on all my windows 7 installations
is this happening to anyone else?
cheers

no i haven't
i have now deployed 5 thinkpads (x200 with lenovo windows 7 installation disk) and 4 X61 and T500's with my own windows build and downloaded all the thinkvantage software using system update (had to manually upgrade to 5.42 as system update did not pick up on the updates)
the printer default sometimes swaps over but often it just defaults to the original ms windows xps writer and not the the one i had specified.
very frustrating, luckily a lot of my users do not switch locations very often and only print from 1 location but i have some laptop roll outs planned for users who do use this printer default settings a lot and i will get some stick for this.

InfoView not defaulting print settings from Crystal Reports XI

I have a form/report created from Crystal Reports XI published to InfoView that has the print settings set for the manual tray when printed. When running the report in InfoView, it does not default to the manual tray when printing. I am publishing directly from Crystal Reports. I have the Process/Print Setup 'Set layout to: Report file default' and the Schedule/Format 'Use options saved with report' checkbox checked. I am not finding any other settings to tell InfoView to use the report page layout/printer settings. Anyone know of any other options I should check? Thanks!

That would be the correct forum as this one is for SDK issues only.
If you are not getting helped on the other BO forum you may want to consider creating a case if you have a valid support contract.

Error print preview, print setup, print Reports

Hi All
I had Primavera P6.7 and worked well I upgrade to 8.2 after update when i make print preview, print setup, print and Reports ====> Run it give me errors like:
Type : EAccessViolation
Event Code : AVAA0-2875-6
Description : Access violation at address 00758396 in module 'PM.exe'. Read of address 00000028
Type : EAccessViolation
Event Code : AVAA0-3237-4
Description : Access violation at address 008F1B70 in module 'PM.exe'. Read of address 00000008
I don't know what's the problem and what's the solution????
Please Help me ??

Dear Ibrahim,
Can u Just let me know the Version and edition of Windows like Basic/Professional or Ultimate.
AVAA errors are commonly caused by lack of permissions to the Project Management install directory, the default path is \Program Files\Oracle\Primavera P6\Primavera P6 Professiona
Generally P6 writes a log to this directory. But if the Currently Logged in user does not have Read / Write access to this directory, an error will be thrown.
Solution:
Grant Read and Write access to the P6 PPM installation directory,
by default: \Program Files\Oracle\Primavera P6\Primavera P6 Professional for the Currently Logged In User
Pls Let me know whether this Has Worked For You Or Not.
With Warm Regards
