Solved Copying Printer presets to other users

I want to copy printer presets across to all users.
I tried the suggestion as per this thread
Copying printer presets
But in Mavericks it does not work.  I have tried multiple times..deleting old plists, log gin out and back in again ..checking and comparing permissions etc..no joy
The prefs files are there, but deleting the old, and copying the plist to other users then doing a print, the Presets do not appear, even when the "Show Presets' button is clicked.
Wonder if any one has managed this yet with mavericks
Thanks
Edit:
A log out is not enough ...needs a full shutdown and re boot

Look for the com.apple.print.custompresets.plist file in /<home>/Library/Preferences/
Hope this helps.

  • Copying Printer Presets to new user

    I have several presets that I have defined and saved for my printer in Tiger - Economy - B&W, Economy - Color, Photo draft, Photo HQ, etc.
    I just created my wife her own user and would like to copy these presets to it, as apposed to recreating them, but I can't figure out what file they are saved in.
    Can someone tell me what preference file or other file to copy over to my wife's user from mine?
    This is an HP 6840 printer.

    Look for the com.apple.print.custompresets.plist file in /<home>/Library/Preferences/
    Hope this helps.

  • Enforce Default Printer Presets Across Multiple Users

    Hi
    Please could anyone tell me if there is a way to enforce the default printer preset across multiple users on the same computer for a network attached printer?
    I want to make sure that all of my family who each have separate accounts all print using greyscale by default.
    I would like to do this without copying plists about. I was hoping that there is some global way to do it as an administrator.
    TIA

    Hello Ian,
    I did a couple of simple tests on this topic and from what I can see there is no easy way for this to be done. The preferences (plists) are being saved in each users preference, and depending on which printer you are using the located and format for this preference is not easily copied.
    Unless there is a third party app (or something I missed) then I don't see a simple solution to this.
    Regards,
    Paul

  • How can I save a Adobe document to print duplex for other users.

    I want to create a doc using Adobe and be able to set it to print duplex by other users without the user needed to go into printer settings.
    All the user has to do is click print on there computer and the doc. will print duplex. The users have Adobe Reader installed.

    It is possible to set a default value for the Adobe Reader or Acrobat print dialog on a document basis. After the document is created, go to Document Properties (Ctrl-D), and select the Advanced tab. Go to the DuplexMode setting. Normally, this is set to Simplex, i.e. single sided printing. You can also set it to either Duplex Flip Long Edge or Duplex Flip Short Edge depending upon your needs. Duplex Flip Long Edge is normally used for printing of “portrait” orientation content with Duplex Flip Short Edge typically used for printing of “landscape” orientation content. Then save the PDF file (typically, “save as” should be used).
    Important notes: Obviously, this only works if the PDF file is being opened by one of the applications that even bothers to look at these settings. Adobe Reader and Acrobat do. Don't count on MacOS Preview or other applications to do so! Furthermore (and somewhat obviously), this setting is only observed with print devices that directly support duplex printing. And finally, this does not force the user to print duplex. It simply pre-populates the print dialog; the user can change the setting.

  • Is it possible to copy security Groups from other user in CMC

    Hi,
    Usually in SAP security we can create user ids with the option of copy the roles from other user. means we can create user id Y same as like X. then Y will get all roles and security same as X.
    it is possible the same in BO also, is there any way for this.
    Regards,
    Sri

    Not that easily - I agree. However, normally permissions are granted to groups - not users. So as long as User Y has the same group memberships as User X it should be the same.
    There are also 3rd party tools available that can make this work and of course if you like coding - using the SDK you can build a tool yourself .

  • Setting default printing presets for all users, esp. guest user

    i want to set black/white, two sided printing as the default for all users (9 macs, 30 users on each).
    i set up and save this preset as admin, and copy the files
    com.apple.print.custompresets.plist
    com.apple.print.custompresets.forprinter.nameofprinter.plist
    from admin home/library/preferences to the other users preferences-folders.
    but logging on to any of the other users, i still dont even get the new preset listed.
    i tried entering cups, but there, only the printer setup is editable.
    especially i would like to set the custom preset as default for the guest account, without being wiped every log off.
    is there any alternative way to do this? i dont want to manually log in to the 300 accounts to change this.

    You can do that for new users via a file user.js in the default template folder for new profiles.

  • Photoshop CS5 doesn't have same printer presets as other CS5 products

    I am trying to print from Photoshop CS5 to a Konica Bizhub c451 printer that uses account tracking and user authentication.  But, when attempting to print from photoshop CS5 the printer preset doesn't have the same options (doesn't allow us to put in owner information) as the other CS5 products.  For example I am able to print from Illustrator CS5 but not Photoshop CS5.  I am also able to print from Photoshop CS3 on the same computer but not CS5.  Any ideas?

    Yes, post in the Photoshop forum. This forum is for suite specific issues.

  • CS2- CS4 upgrade, copy print presets?

    I recently upgraded to IDCS4 from IDCS2. While this may not have been the "preferred" method, I installed CS4,then uninstalled CS2. It seems the CS2 "Print Presets" didn't make the upgrade trip.
    Can anyone suggest where I might locate my CS2 Print Presets, and (ideally) be able to import them into CS4?
    thanks in advance,
    Mike

    In CS2 you would need to go to File>Print Presets>Define and save the file as a .prst, then load that file into CS4.
    I'm afraid that if you haven't saved them from CS2 then they are most likely lost. Perhaps someone knows a sneaky file they reside in?

  • Other users Print Queues

    Hi
    I recently found my printer wasnt responding so when i went into settings i found was paused, not sure how but there were a few jobs in the print queue when i looked. I cleared the jobs and unpaused the printer but it started to print the jobs started by another user. I had to access their account to clear they're jobs and stop the printer wanting to print.
    So other users print jobs continue to print even though they arent logged on.
    Is there a way to stop this happening as we have three users on this mac.
    Cheers!
    Any response is appreciated.

    Hi,
    àI added a print
    queue to a test client and was able to print to it without a problem mapped to the new server, so that's not the problem.
    àWhat I can't
    do is use the script (see below) to remap the clients to the new server.
    Based on your description, I understand that you have moved print queues to new print server via print migrate
    tool successfully. However, when use this script (Remap Printer Connections) to re-map Printer Connections, the script seems to not be ran as expected. Meanwhile,
    I noticed that you had ran the script locally. Did you find any error when ran this script?
    On current situation, this issue seems to be more related to this Remap Printer Connections script. I suggest
    that you would post it in
    Official Scripting Guys Forum. I believe we will get a better assistance there.
    If anything I misunderstand or any update, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
    Best regards,

  • 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.

  • Passing Number of copies / Duplex into print presets

    I need to pass the servers simplex/duplex and number of copies settings into the print presets so the user doesn't have to remember each forms setting.
    Can I pass these through the xfdf?

    No, but the simplex/duplex setting can be embedded into the form if you're using XFA forms.

  • [CS5.5] Lock PDF export and print presets

    Hi,
    With this post I would like to ask a question regarding locking certain features in Indesign.
    Does anyone know if it is possible to ...
    - lock PDF export and print presets so a user is not abble to change/override any preset properties, and is forced to use a preset without the possibility to override any of the properties when using it?
    - force a user to use one of the predefinied presets to print or export a document without the ability to create a new preset?
    - verify PDF-files to check what Indesign print/export preset was used?
    Being part of a larger prepress team, we would like to make sure that, every PDF-file created by each team member, is created with the same specs.
    Does anyone know of any plugin, tool or release that enables such a functionality?
    Kind regards
    John

    If the employees cannot follow company policy, they need to know that there are other people looking for work who can. Yes, mistakes happen, but that would be a case of choosing the wrong preset from a list (which, if you leave more than one installed, can't be avioded). Changing settings against policy is not a mistake.

    Acrobat on OSX does not use printer preset. Every single time I have to print I have to click printer and then print to load the preset and then click print again from the main dialog. I am printing to a Xerox that has the copier code in the preset so if I don't do this it will not print. This has been broken for in every version I have tried. This extra clicks are taking years off my life. Did I remember to do the extra clicks? I don't know, I guess I will run down the hall and check. Please fix this.

    What operating system are you running? I assume they had you install the latest BIOS. True? If it were mine, I would suggest forcing it to use integrated graphics (in the BIOS) to rule out a problem with the NVidia driver.

  • New HP Pavilion, shared printer, other user cannot print

    Have just purchased HP Pavilion G6 with OS windows 7.
    have set up to network sharing a printer, I am administrator.
    Printer is Brother MFC-240C
    other user on network has a desk top built by local company - non specificbrand - and is running windows XP.
    we have successfully shared printers in past when I was using a desktop with windows XP
    question is:   is the fact that we now use different OS causing the problem with printing?  

    Hi @78Senior,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I noticed that you cannot print from Windows 8.1 to your HP Deskjet f4180. I am happy to help!
    I would recommend to go through this printer is offline guide, 'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the Printer Will Not Print: Windows 8. When you get to solution four make sure to select USB and follow the steps there as well.
    Hope this works!
