Turn Off Print Duplex in Microsoft Word

The print dialog box in Word for Mac 2011 for the HP Officejet 4630 does not appear to offer a single side or duplex option. What am I missing? I want to turn off duplex printing.
This question was solved.

On the Mac print dialogbox, in the middle, there is a tab, which is changable, click on it and select "Layout", you will see a "Two-Sided" option, change it to No.

Programmatically Turn Off Printing (Acrobat 6.0)

Hello.
I'm searching (fruitlessly so far) for an option to turn off printing on a PDF. I've gone down multiple avenues and have come up empty to date.
My company is using Documentum SCS and Content Transformation Services (Documentum) to export/convert files to PDF format in a readable location. Through our normal process, we place an overlay on the document using another product, which indicates the status of the file (approved/effective). Since we cannot use the overlay when exporting in this fashion, we've settled on disabling printing for the PDFs.
The preferred solution would be using CTS to set the security, however I don't have a lot of confidence in that solution just yet.
The second preferred method would be for CTS to run a piece of VBS code post-export, which takes the PDFs and sets them to noprint.
The last resort would be to create a Windows service using .NET that waits for new files in the directory and sets them to noprint.
Any solutions to programmatically setting noprint? Any feedback on the path being taken?
Thanks in advance!

If you're looking for a fully automated solution, Acrobat will not be an option.
The only fully automated option Adobe provides would be Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management ES, which you can read about here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/livecycle/rightsmanagement/
If you are interested in a Documentum-direct solution, you would probably get best results asking on some Documentum forums. Most users here work specifically with the Acrobat SDK ( it being an Adobe forum :) ).

How do I turn off 'print' in order to finalize an installation of Adobe Acrobat (or reader)

I get to 96% of the installation and then a window pops up telling me to turn off 'print' in order to continue. I do not know how to do this.

hello, this question isn't about firefox so we probably cannot solve your issue. please refer to adobe's documentation or contact adobe's support if you're having problems installing their product: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/quick-fix-install-download-reader.html

Can't turn off print 2 sided

I can not figure out how to turn off print 2 sided. I've looked in doc presets, doc setting, print setting and I can't find a 2 sided setting. Can someone assist please?

Every print driver is different, but here is a capture of one, selecting "Printer" at the bottom of Indesign's print window to access printer specific settings.

Can't turn off printer sharing in 10.4.7

I came in this morning to check on my lab computers and noticed a ton of duplicate printers on my network. I narrowed it down to a single computer, but I can't seem to turn off Printer Sharing in System Preferences. The only thing I changed recently was upgrade/install the latest version of CUPS.
Any suggestions on how I can turn off Printer Sharing? Is there a command line cmd to turn it off?

Just to make sure you didn't overlook the obvious (we all do it more often than we care to admit). Can you toggle the other services in the Sharing pane? Perhaps you just need to click on the padlock and authenticate before you can make changes.
Second thing to try. Make sure System Preferences is not open. Look in the user's Home folder/Library/Caches. Find a cache item com.apple.preferencepanes.cache. Delete this item. Log the user out and log back in. Now open System Preferences and see if you can make the changes.
Third thing to try. Here are the items that get changed in the /etc/cups/cupds.conf file when you turn Printer Sharing OFF---
line 55 becomes
ServerName 127.0.0.1
lines 453 and 454 become
#Port 631
Listen 127.0.0.1:631
line 581 becomes
#BrowseAddress @LOCAL
line 635 becomes
BrowseInterval 0
line 826 Allow From @LOCAL
is deleted and the block from line 822 through 826 becomes
<Location />
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
</Location>
All these changes are taken from a modification of the default cupsd.conf as supplied with the version of CUPS Apple supplies with Tiger. The cupsd.conf that comes with version 1.2.x is most likely different. You will have to do some comparison and interpretation.
Hope this helps.
EDIT: Don't forget to recycle the cupsd whenever you make a change to the configuration file.
sudo killall -HUP cupsd

Cannot turn off Printer Sharing???

Hi there,
I've been busy configuring our Macs in work to use the printers dotted around the office. I've been successful apart from one little annoyance that I cannot figure out. How do you turn off Printer Sharing?
I'm using CUPS 1.2.11 and printing to a Xerox DocuColor 3535 and a DocuColor 5252 using IP Printing via LPR.
Does Printer Sharing need to be on, hence why every time I turn it off it reverts back to being on??
Jamie Kelly

Hi greg,
I posted a message before but it has disappeared, so please forgive me if there are two posts that have the same information.
I was advised by one of our Xerox engineers to upgrade CUPS to the current version. He actually said I should upgrade to version 1.3 but since it is a beta I thought I'd stick with 1.2.11 for now. Sadly it appears he was wrong and I shouldn't have upgraded.
It also appears I didn't read your response correctly. I can turn off printer sharing individually (for each printer) by doing as you advised and 'Unpublish' each printer. However, global printer sharing (in System Preferences/Sharing) is still ON and it won't switch off. Even more worrying is this - although Printer Sharing is on, the firewall hasn't opened the Printer Sharing port, and I can't manually open it because it is set to automatically open when Printer Sharing is switched on.
So now Printer Sharing is stuck on but the firewall will not open the port. Can I edit anything in the CUPS server configuration file to disable Printer Sharing? The information in my configuration file (taken from http://127.0.0.1:631/admin?op=config-server) is below:

What would cause the printer to only print text in microsoft word but no images

i have a hp deskjet D1320 printer, windows xp operating system, and i have always printed greeting cards from microsoft word by inserting an image and then printing it with the printer set to duplex(2sided)printing option, so after you print the image you flip the card around and then print the text on the inside of the card. now the printer does not print any images when i insert the image and then click print it just runs 1 piece of paper through the printer and stops but it will still print text just fine, does anyone know what would cause this type of an issue?
thank-you,
hwnugent

Hi there hwnugent,
Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on. Let us know the results.
Best of Luck!

Apps crash when printing to turned-off printer

Running 10.9.3 at the moment and having unusual printer issues at the office. Basically, when going to the print dialogue box and clicking "print" to any printer that is turned off or that OSX doesn't recognize, it will crash the app. The unusual thing is that even after turning the printer back on, any app that tries to print won't even make it to the print dialogue box and crashes immediately on clicking File>Print or Command-P. Clicking on Printers in System Prefs crashes System Prefs. Most of the time even a restart won't solve the issue.   It does seem to resolve itself the next day after I go home and come back to the office.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Turn off print dialog box

I want to turn off the print dialog box in Adobe Reader. I want a similar function "quick print" that Word has in order to use Adobe Reader more efficently with other software. Is this possible?

You will have to write some custom JavaScript and with versions 7 or newer or Acrobat/Reader, you will need to install a special script in a special application folder due to revised security restrictions. You will also need to write a script file to add a menu item or tool bar button.
The basic Acrobat JS code is:
// Print a file silently
this.print({bUI: false, bSilent: true, bShrinkToFit: true});

Turn Off print preview

Hi,
I Have acrobat reader 9 and i need to turn off th print preview is it possible to turn off it?
Every time i use the print button on my toolbar it shows always the preview. Is it possible to print directly without showing the print preview?
Thanks
JM

No it's not. The print dialog is the only place to set up the options, so it's always displayed when you use the system toolbar or menus*. There's no "quick print" tool as there is in Word.
*there is a silent print system using Acrobat JavaScript but it cannot be used to replace the default actions of those items.

What are needed to have labview print report to microsoft word

i'm building a stand alone application that puts the collected data into Microsoft Word, and it then sends the word report to the printer when click Print from my LabVIEW. But when click Print it runs and generates error message that says "Error 7 occured at Open VI Reference in Dispose Report.vi ->Word Report.vi ->Main.vi". I think i'm missing something during building application stage but i'm not sure what it is. How can i approach this error?

In the cd with the report generation toolkit you can find the procedure for building an executable.
You have to add the following vi's dinamically:
- vi.lib\addons\_office\_exclsub.llb\_excel dynamic vis.vi
- vi.lib\addons\_office\_wordsub.llb\_word dynamic vis.vi

How to turn off printer colour management in LR 5.7?

Using an EPSON R3000 with bespoke profiles and getting a magenta colour cast. It seems there is some double profiling/ conflict at work. I don't seem to have an option to turn off colour management - like this:
For my system, the colour matching is greyed out and I can't change anything. When it's greyed out, does it mean it's automatically turned off?
Does anyone else have this issue? Everything works wonderfully in CS6, no issues printing with ICC profiles from there. Using MacOSX 10.8.
Thanks!

The behavior in screen capture two with the two radio buttons grayed out is correct. You cannot turn off color management anyway. The magenta cast is another problem.

Printer reduces size of text taken from internet; printer expands margins Microsoft Word 2007

1) HP Officejet J6480 All-in-one
2) Windows 7 64-bit
No error message, no changes to system.
Recently, and I'm not sure why, my printer began shrinking the text which it prints from the internet. It does not have this problem printing a pdf file or from Microsoft Word or the like. I'm not sure if this only occurs when i print selected text as opposed to printing what the screen sees. The shrunk text appears to be approximately 5.25 by 7 inches. If I print double sided, the problem still persists. Please let me know what I can do; I have gone through the printer options and verified that I had selected letter sized paper to print on.
In addition, one smaller issue; I frequently print from Microsoft Word in which I always set my paper margins to 1" all around the paper. On the top margin only, the printer expands it to 1.25 inches and compresses the entire text. (I have held up printed papers to my computer screen to be sure). All of the other margins are correctly formatted. Thank you for your assistance. I use Microsoft Word 2007
