Trouble with my printer settings

My printer worked okay with my previous ibook. But now that I switched to the MacBook Pro I can't get the settings to show up for my printer when I am going to print. I have a Epson Stylus Photo r2400. I selected the correct driver but it won't show the options for the specific paper I use for my printer. So the prints from the printer look awful when they used to be a high photo quality. I downloaded the driver from the epson site and installed it, selected the driver again and it still doesn't show the correct settings. I restarted the computer and still no luck.
Thanks for any help.

Kelly,
Did you migrated your preferences from your iBook to the new MacBook Pro? If yes, then those old preferences may not be compatible. Two suggestions:
a) Create another user account and see if the print options for specific paper are available while logged in as that user. If yes, then the old preferences theory may be true. So, then log out of that account and try…
b) Log in to your original account. Go to HD/Users/your name/Library/Preferences and move all the .plist files that begin with com.apple.print.* out to the Desktop. Launch an app to see if the print options for specific papers appear. If yes, then continue to select your options and new user print preferences will be created. You can then trash the old preferences that you had moved to the Desktop.
Hope this helps.

Do you even know how to nuke and re-set Photoshop's preferences, colorplak? Your last post seems to reveal that you don't understand what I'm talking about. Here's a link you can click on:
Preference file functions, names, locations | Photoshop CC
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 CC 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.
Note for Photoshop 14.1 and later: If you use Generator and reset your Preferences, Generator is disabled. Choose Preferences > Plug-ins to turn it back on.
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.

Trouble with findig printer with Bonjour (HP all in one printer)

Hi,
I have a problem with connecting to my HP Printer.
When the printer and the iMac is booted freshly I can connect to the printer without any problems, also I can find the printer trought the printer browser via Bonjour.
But after a while the connection is completely lost with the printer, the only way I can connect to the printer is by IP, the dns name (http://HPxxxx.local.) is also not working anymore.
The only solution is turning off the printer and putting it on again, even sometimes I have to restart the iMac.
Is it possible a new installed wireless modem/router is cousing this odd behaviour ? Because it looked like the trouble whas coming after the new router was installed.
When I ping to the printer I can see there are some timeouts from time to time and when the timeouts take too long, the result is that I can't find the printer trough Bonjour anymore.
Thanks!

Hi cowla1,
I understand you need the drivers for the HP 6500A on a Mac. I can help you but will need some more information.
I have provided a link for the drivers up to 10.8. The 10.9 drivers show the documentation to run the Apple Updates for the driver install. HP Officejet 6500A e-All-in-One Printer - E710a Drivers.
Select your operating system, click next and click on the software to download and install.
Make sure when you add the printer, it shows the printer name and not the printer name + Airprint.
What operating system are you using? Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
Please provide in detail the results if you are still having issues.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.
Please click “Accept as Solution ” if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others find the solution.

Help with Photoshop Print Settings? Please-I need this Before Tommorow!

Omfg, this is driving me up the wall. Does anybody have a solution as to why every single time I try to edit the photoshop page setup settings and click OK, it resets everything I adjusted and replaces it with the defaults.
Somebody, please help me!

Are you looking at the settings for different documents? The print settings are stored with the document now.
So, for example, if you open Document A and change its print settings, they should stay set for Document A.
But, if you then open Document B, you'll see the print settings that were originally saved with Document B.

Trouble with IPP printing

i added a printer to my list with IPP protocol (with IP address, no queue). After i sent a job to this printer, the job was stopped.
i set IPP protocol enable on Web page.
Printer driver is RICOH Aficio CX9000.
others, how to set the higest priority for ipp (for example, set '0' for ipp)
any ideas? Thanks in advance.

greg sahli, thanks for your help.
i only has one printer, and want to add it to my list by ipp. In the operation of adding it, set its ip address and give it a queue name. The printer is in the LAN, not connected to internet. Is that ok? Any other settings should be done?
Look for the queue name in the docs that come with
the printer. L1, P1, lp, lp1 are common ones.
Experiment - start with lp.
About "docs" and "L1, P1, lp, lp1", i can't understand well.
Could you explain them for me?
Thanks in advance.

Trouble with HP printer and network

Just upgraded to SL on my MBA. I have a small office network with only a few computers and 2 HP printers. They're both old, one HP Color Laserjet 4600n and one HP Laserjet 4000TN. I've been printing to both of them for over 1 yr on MBA with Leopard (10.5). 10.6 does away with appletalk, so I install the first printer, HP4000, through IP protocol with HP Jetdirect Socket. I input the printer's IP address, SL finds it and installs perfectly, no problems. But the MBA now cannot see the HP 4600. I find the printer's IP (192.2.2.188) and input it into the add printer (IP protocol) boxes and it cannot find the printer. I tried using the terminal and "pinging" the printer at that IP address and it cannot find it. So my MBA is not communicating with the printer somehow. I know the cables work, I know other computers (PCs) can find and print to the HP 4600. I can't figure it out. Please help!

I am having the same problem. I first hooked up my old printer; an HP 7760 deskjet. It printed fine for a day or two. Then it just stopped and it would say "jobs stopped." I kept clicking on "start jobs," but it just wouldn't print. It would go back to "jobs stopped."
I reinstalled 3 times. On the third time it worked and I started printing again. After 5 or 6 print jobs, it stopped again.
I decided to hook up the HP that I bought when I bought the new iMAC G-5. The HP Deskjet 5740 began printing right away with no problems..... until the next morning. Back to the same "jobs stopped" problems! I can't seem to get any answers. Some have suggested that using the new OS X v10.4 Tiger is too new and I need to download new drivers. I tried that, but I wasn't able to get the new drivers installed.
Super frustrating!

Trouble with Ordering Prints

I have adobe photoshop elements 7. When I try to Order Prints, I get the little picture that says I should wait while it downloads the shorts I've selected, then I get a blank, white screen with Order Prints in the upper left corner.
I had been successfully ordering prints with Shutterfly using this function all along. Suddenly, it's not working. What can I do to fix it?

Yes, I'm still having the problem. I've attached a picture of the screen
shot.
I had a problem several month ago that required reloading the Elements 7
organizer. Is it possible that this screen shot is occurring because
somehow reloading the organizer erased my connection to Shutterfly?
If so, how would I reestablish that connection?

Trouble with "duplex" printing

1. Is my 8500 supposed to duplex both upper and lower paper trays?
2. Is my 8500 supposed to duplex both letter and legal paper?
3. Are there any special printer settings to enable duplex printing for both trays and paper types?
Thanks in advance,
~~~ 0;-Dan

How can I/Is it possible to silently print a PDF with specific print settings and obtaining the resulting job id (in windows at least)?

Greetings,
I have a specific application for Windows I'm developing where I need to silently print a PDF to a real printer. The trick is I need to set specific printing preferences ... such as color/monochrome, # of copies, page size / source tray, etc. The printer is always set to spool documents, and it is key that I know the job id (even if its already done printing) of the resulting print job.
With windows APIs mixed in, I would imagine something like ...
OpenPrinter(printername)
StartDocPrinter(...)
-----> some SDK call to print the document based on the handles I pass it...or perhaps one page at a time after I call StartPagePrinter()
EndDocPrinter(...)
ClosePrinter()
I've been searching for something for days that would give me this sort of control, but I've been finding the documentation very difficult to find on silently printing a PDF through any means other than a command line which doesn't appear to give me the information or control I need.
Is this possible with the Adobe SDK?
I've seen other posts accomplish this by changing the printing defaults for the printer, and then sending the job silently with a commandline. This has two problems for me: 1) I still don't know the Job ID of the print job, and 2) I can't rely on the idea that other unrelated print jobs will not be sent while I'm processing the PDF ... making it difficult to use defaults as a means of controlling the settings without causing a lot of side effects.
Even just a point in the right direction would be a huge help for how I could accomplish this.
Thanks a lot,
Wayne

Trouble with booklet printing -- InDesign CC 2014

I'm having trouble printing booklet with new CC 2014. I print to postscript, but then PDF is not correct. I see it's using Acrobat 8 driver; how do I change that to Acrobat XI?

Peter, I was/am having trouble explaining my trouble, so I am going to tell you what happened to me yesterday... This booklet printing issue started with me uninstalling my old Acrobat 8.... since I run XI Pro -- because it caught my eye, too, that now I, like many other CC users, have three (3) sets of software on my computer. So I got Acrobat 8 uninstalled, but then had to go back to work, and postposed dealing with the other CC program uninstalls. Yes, I am using CC to run my business.... lost 6 hours yesterday trying to cope with computer issues. So, I'm heading into InDesign to print a production file for a 24-page booklet for a client on a deadline, only to find out the ID CC 2014 is still looking for Acrobat 8, or my Epson printer. The only other option in the postscript print menu at that point is "device independent", which does not allow for page setup, hence the pdf (saved from the postscript file) comes out completely wrong. (showing a standard portrait letter page setup for a now landscape ledger size document)
It took me 3 hours of search to find a post from 2012(!) that lead me to believe that if I could install (manually!...never done it before) a pdf9 PPD into the new ID CC 2014 Present folder it might just work. In fact, I had to manually program a brand new version of a software, which I've never done before -- I am not even close to a software engineer.
I still don't understand why ID CC 2014 is not looking/routed to Acrobat Pro. But then the previous CC didn't either. It was running on Acrobat 8 PPD too.
I manually built a 24-page printable booklet yesterday. Lost 6 hours of billable time. (installed pdf9PPD at midnight last night... I'll stay in business.) I see dozens of extensions in Extension Manager for ID CC 2014. Have no idea which one I would need, if any, to fix this issue, or where to install them.
Thanks for listening! And for the follow up.

Glad it's sorted now as took settings off an iPhone for you, on N8 incoming & outgoing settings are inacessible which is a lot of use.

Trouble with Booklet Printing in OSX 10.6

I recently ran an update for OSX 10.6 and ever since then, when I select the booklet print function, the print image does not rotate. In other words, the preview shows the document in a landscape format, but rotated to print as portrait. However, when I print it, the image is still in landscape but has not rotated, leaving a third of the image off of the page. (I have attached a pdf of what the output looks like.)
Has anyone had the same issue? Any help would be appreciated.
I use a OCE (Konica Minolta) copier with the latest print driver, however when I print with my VMware in Windows in Publisher, it prints my booklets correctly. I have the same problem using CS3 and CS5.

10.6.5 introduced a couple of printing issues that have mostly been solved. We have a couple of Konicas but they use either Fiery in the case of the 8000 and Creo in the case of the BizHub for RIPping.
One the Bizhub with the Creo rip we would get a similar error when printing directly from the driver, but printing to the hold queue and setting the printing properties from the RIP would correct it. Run through the exact same settings to the print queue and get an error.
If you are using InDesign's Print Booklet feature one potential workaround would be to create a pdf with VipRiser VipRiser « Onflapp's Blog
Acrobat probably won't have that printing issue. If it does you could potentially just drop the PDF into a hot folder (assuming you have a separate RIP on the Konica. Otherwise a less than elegant way to get around it for the time being would be to print from your windows VM.
