Terminal command to make expanded print dialog box the default

I saw this somewhere back under Tiger, but I can't remember where.
I need to know the terminal command to make the expanded print dialog box the default. I'm getting tired of clicking the blue arrow to expand the box.
If anyone can direct me, I'd sure appreciate the help!
Karen

Hi Karen
I believe the command is this:
defaults write -g PMPrintingExpandedStateForPrint -bool TRUE

  • ICal: how to make my print selections become the default

    how do I make my chosen printer selections become the default? Also, is there a way to assign selections to a named type of "file", i.e, "My Calendars", "My To Dos", etc.?

    If you leave a CD, DVD, or some disc with data, in the internal drive, it should then use the external drive for burning. If you use good blank discs, such as Verbatim, there should be no reason to reduce the burning speed.

  • Print html file without seeing a print dialog box

    i need to script an action that would allow a user to print a sparcly formated html file to a printer while bypassing the normal print dialog box.
    the unix lpr command seems like it might work, but the man page only mentions PS and txt files.
    Ultimately i'd want to trigger the print action from a php script, but it could be a folder action also.
    Does anyone have any suggestions or point me in the right direction.

    lp is the right command to use but you may need to convert the html file in PDF format before printing it. Just test it. Also type man lp to see more options.
    enscript is a nice utility that may help you. man enscript for more.

  • Current View option in  the Print dialog box

    I have a PDF file, approximately 55 pages that is comrpised of 50+ .jpg images that were combined into a single PDF file. The images are various size screenshots from Facebook.
    I need to be able to print the entire file at 75% magnification in order for every page to be readable.  Only way in Adobe’s print dialog box that I can find to do so is select one page at a time, select “Current View” and then print. 
    When "All" is selected under Print Range in the Print Dialog box, the pages print at different magnifications, most below 10% and unreadable.
    Is there a way to get the entire document to print in the “Current View” setting or at a specified magnification?
    I’m using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    duh...
    Figured out I had to tweak it in the "copies and Pages"

  • InDesign CS5 crashing from print dialog box

    Using CS5, multiple computers, some on Leopard, some on Snow Leopard. Printing to a Xerox Phaser 7500. When we set up to duplex print in the print dialog box, the application shuts down when we hit the "print" button. I've searched all through these forums, and the Xerox site, and can't find anything that sounds like this problem.
    Brand new printer, latest drivers, all Mac OS updates applied.
    Any ideas?

    There are also reports that there are many other types of issues which causes the hang ups, not just printing issues. What I have found is that one of the problem is font related. I found that I had multiple versions of the Times font and that the documents which I had hanging the most would contain the Times font. I deleted the font and replaced it with Cambria. Now those documents seldom will hang. My guess is that neither the latest version of OSX or CS5 works well with older fonts.
    I still get an occasional hang which requires me to force quit IDCS5. When I do, about 3 out of 5 times, it sends an crash report to Apple but not to Adobe so I still think their is some conflict between IDCS5 and the operating system.  I am currently running OSX 10.6.5. 
    The problem I find is that I am getting the occasional hangs randomly. Sometimes its when packing a file, sometimes it when selecting the type tool. But I've also run into the problem when opening another document. 

  • Print Dialog Box for Addon is not showing in Terminal Server

    Dear All,
    I have created a addon for Automatic Sales Invoice printing that prints the crystal report directly to the printer bu opening a
    print dialog box for printer selection through SDK code.
    The Same addon works fine on the server with print dialog box being showing through SDK code.
    But while running on Terminal Server , print dialog box is not showing any printer though printers are redirected to that
    terminal server.I am not getting whether the problem is in my addon or in the terminal server printer settings.
    Please suggest as i need to know the reason urgently.
    Thanks

    Hi Gurus,
    I am calling a report from another report. Inside report_2 i am using,
    When i execute report2, i get a PRINT DIALOG BOX
    Here i need to enter the output device name. and again excute.
    I am not able to automate this in my program. Could you suggest?
    Through F1 help, i found the screen_field name(of the output device parameter) to be 'SFPOUTPAR-DEST'
    and i enter default output device 'PDEST'
    where do i give this?
    and also, after this, i need to do a 'Print Preview' action and see if file is opening up.
    Can i automate these actions?
    I am using:
    rspar_line-selname = 'SFPOUTPAR-DEST'. // the output device parameter name
    rspar_line-kind = 'S'.
    rspar_line-sign = 'I'.
    rspar_line-option = 'EQ'.

    Then i do, (inside report 2....)
    SUBMIT report_1
    WITH SELECTION-TABLE rspar_tab
    AND RETURN.
    Its not working... i just get the print dialog box(without values being defaulted)
    How do i proceed?

  • Printer dialog box does not appear in Photoshop CS.5

    I use Photoshop CS.5.1 with a Macbook 2013 using version 10.9.5. The printer works perfectly with all other applications but in Photoshop no printer dialog box comes up and the print job does not appear in the printers queue. Anyone the same issues?

    First, try nuking (deleting them and letting the application create new ones) your Photoshop preferences:
    To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
    Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (Bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
    Important: If you re-create the preferences by deleting the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
    Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
    NEW Video! Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here.
    Mac OS
    Important: Apple made the user library folder hidden by default with the release of Mac OS X 10.7. If  you require access to files in the hidden library folder to perform Adobe-related troubleshooting, see How to access hidden user library files.

  • KB2909210 on Server 2008 R2 breaks my intranet sites and print dialog box

    Let's try this again.  I have been asking the following question of Microsoft and every time I do, I have only been told to try another forum.
    I have several intranet sites that my users use for various data entry and querying purposes.  I installed Internet Explorer 10 onto my 2008 R2 Terminal Server over this past weekend (10/18/2014) which also installed the Security Update KB2909210
    and rebooted the server.  On Monday morning (10/20/2014), when my terminal users logged into the sites, the sites began malfunctioning.  All the dropdown arrows turned into question marks.  Some fields which normally have a small "x"
    on the right-hand side used to erase the data entered in the text field were also displaying as question marks.  The objects still functioned but it was disconcerting to my users.  The update also slowed down these same intranet sites to where it
    began interfering with productivity.  I activated Compatibility View for all intranet sites, but it did not resolve the problem.
    I also found that when my terminal users tried to print a pdf document from the intranet sites, the print dialog box was jumbled and no fields were pre-populated with data like they always are when printing.  I updated to the latest Adobe Reader, but
    the print dialog box remained jumbled. 
    All of my users with stand-alone PCs have IE 10 installed and the intranet sites work fine.  The sites display properly and process quickly, and the print dialog box is not jumbled.  It is only my terminal users who log in from a thin client
    to their profiles on the server and use the IE version installed on the server who have the problem with IE10.  The KB2909210 Update is not installed on, and does not come up as, an update for any of my stand-alone Windows 7 PCs.
    I uninstalled IE 10 from my server, but since this was one of my production servers, I could not restart it until after the plant was shut down for the evening forcing my users to suffer with the slowness for the day.  This morning (10/21/2014) the
    intranet sites are working fine through IE 9.  I also had to revert back to Adobe Reader v9.5 as the v11 (and v10) print dialog box does not display properly in IE 9.
    I do not want to stay on IE 9 on my server as IE9 gets more un-secure by the day and we've found IE 11, on any of our machines, to be too buggy.
    How can I install IE 10 with its security updates and prevent it from breaking my intranet sites and print dialog box?  What is so different about Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 that IE 10 causes this corruption of intranet sites and the print dialog
    box on the Server but not on the Win 7 machines?
    The bulletin here:
    https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/ms14-011
    is useless for determining why it breaks my intranet sites. Nor does it explain why the update destroys the print dialog box.

    Hi,
    In my opinion, it's hard to say your problem caused by KB2909210. Have you tried to uninstall this update for test if your intrant site's problem resolved?
    If your problem truthfuly caused by this updates, you can choose to hid the update as a workaround method.

  • HT3669 Since I starting using my MacMini (2011 version) I have not been able to print double sided from my HP Photosmart plus - there is no option for this in the Printer dialog box as there was in the similar dialog box on my PC. How do I set up this opt

    Since I starting using my MacMini (2011 version) I have not been able to print double sided from my HP Photosmart plus - there is no option for this in the Printer dialog box as there was in the similar dialog box on my PC. How do I set up this option?

    1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
    Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
    Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
    How much free space on it now?

  • Suppressing Print Dialog box

    Hi Experts,
    We have a requirement where in we want the following:
    When Print Button / Option in web templates, is clicked, report gets printed in PORTRAIT mode, without showing the Print dialog box.
    Please let us know how could this be achieved.
    Thanks,
    Shantanu.

    In the Print Button option of your web template, unflag the "Show Export Dialog" in the "Command" sub menu, and select the print options (Portrait and so on ...)
    If you want to do so for all the queries, change the 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN, or the ZANALYSIS_PATTERN you've maybe created.

  • CS6 Photoshop: One newly-created PSD filewon't print because the print dialog box won't appear altho the file properties appear to be the same as other files that do print.

    CS6 Photoshop: One newly-created PSD file won't print because the print dialog box won't appear after selecting File > Print.  Then "Print" becomes grayed out. The file properties such as permissions, are the same as other PSD files that do print.  This file also cannot be converted to Adobe PDF, which is not offered as choice under "Save as", whereas other can be.  I've exited, reopened Photoshop, restarted computer, checked out other CS6 PSD files which do print, nothing changes.  The 52 MB file has been flattened. OS is Windows 7.  Thanks for any suggestions.

    Sounds like the printer driver is having some problems.
    Try holding the space bar down when you select Print (which makes the print dialog NOT load previously used settings).

  • Corrupt Print Dialog box

    I recently upgraded Reader to XI and am now getting this corrupt Print Dialog box when I try to print a pdf from within IE10.  Has anyone ever seen anything like this? Windows 8, IE10, Reader XI

    I have 600 users at my company that get the garbled print dialog box with Adobe 9 and IE 11. I used Group Policy to turn on Protected Mode for the Internet and Intranet and now the print dialog box works. Here is where you can find the setting on local group policy (for testing if you are in corporate environment).
    Computer Configuration->Administrative Templates-->Windows Components->Internet Explorer->Internet Control Panel->Security Page. You will then go to Internet Zone or Intranet Zone depending on your needs and then Enable "Turn On Protected Mode". Run a gpupdate from command prompt. Hope this helps.

  • Print Dialog box issues

    When I make changes to a print parameter, ie add crop marks, the changes only appear if I select a different media size than what I was working in. Say I was working in CUSTOM. If I add crop marks, I have to chose another media size, say, LETTER, then come back to CUSTOM for the change to take place. In previous versions, I only had to CLICK on the media size I was working in, say, CUSTOM and the change was applied. Sort of a nuisance. Any suggestions?

    Printer type makes no difference. This has to do with the PRINT DIALOG BOX (CTRL-P) and the MEDIA SIZE option within. Below are the screen shots which depict the issue.
    #1 - print dialog box open and select CUSTOM under media size.
    #2 - selecting trim marks and bleed
    #3 - back to the GENERAL tab where just clicking on CUSTOM does not change the preview
    #4 - you must choose a different size - in this case A3 for the preview to update and show the crop mark and bleed selections.
    #5 - finally going back to CUSTOM updates the preview to show how the image will print
    #6,7 & 8 - shows the process in reverse when you deselect the CROP MARKS and BLEED. Must still choose a difference MEDIA SIZE for preview to update.
    In previous versions of Illus, all you needed to do was click on the CUSTOM media size selection and the preview would update. When you print as often as we do, this little annoyance gets quite bothersome.
    Hope this explains it.
