Unable To Set Custom Print Margins In Safari 5.0.2

Help Please!!
I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to change the "default" margins Safari uses when printing. I have selected different print drivers, added custom paper sizes, even changed monitor resolution – all to no avail. I am trying to format some web content for letter size printing and it looks as though I will have to give in to the quarter-inch top, left, right and half-inch bottom margins Safari so persistently imposes.
I am hoping there is at least one other out there who has fretted over this issue as I have. Any insight you can provide is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Thank you for the quick response!
Firefox does seem to have a much more reliable printing engine. Unfortunately, I am using a number of webkit CSS attributes available only within Safari. Gradients being one of these. Perhaps it's time to give up on them and simply render these custom layout elements as images... It's a pity really! Webkit delivers some very promising new technology for cross-media content delivery, yet without reliable print/pdf output control, these technologies and techniques are essentially useless.
I did leave feedback on this issue. Perhaps Apple will come up with a solution before I am forced to rebuild. .I most certainly would appreciate additional ideas and suggestions.
Thanks again

Can you set the print margins in Preview?

Simple question: Is there a way to set the print margins when printing an image from Preview?
Thanks,

I can set margins in other programs (like Photoshop, Word, Excel, Firefox, Chrome...), but there does not seem to be a setting for margins when printing from Preview. I don't want to resize the image, just get it to print in a certain position on the paper (template form).
In the case of Photoshop, you are placing an image on a canvas and can position the image to suit. Word and Excel have a Page Setup menu that lets you set the margin positions - which know since you have got the output you wanted. There is no Page Setup menu for most, if not all, Apple applications like Preview. Instead parts of the Page Setup menu have been added to the print dialog but margins is not one of them.

Understood. Unfortunately you don't get that option in Preview. The image will be centred - both horizontal and vertical - based on the paper size and the printer you have selected in the print dialog. You could create a custom paper size with the margins you want to position the image and then use that custom paper in Preview. But your workaround of using Word gives you more control over the positioning of the image.

Cannot set custom print settings using mg6220

Have just purchased a new iMac running 10.8.2 and Canon MG 6220. Can print, but am not able to set custom print settings and see disclosure triangle in the Print Dialogue Window that I would click on to get to this option. The instructions and illustrations in the manual are not the same as what I am seeing in my print window.

Then I think you have selected the AirPrint driver rather than the MG6200 Series driver.
So what you can do is open Print & Scan, select the current MG6220 in the Printers list and press the minus button to remove it. Then click on the plus button next to the minus button to add but if a little sub-menu window appears showing the MG6220 under the heading of Nearby Printers, as shown below with my MP990, do not select this.
Instead, select the menu item that says Add Printer or Scanner. This will make the Default Add printer view appear. Here you should see the MG6220. Select it and if the Use menu shows AirPrint, click on this menu and select Canon MG6200 Series. Then click Add to complete. This should now give you the same Quality & Media menu that I have shown above.

Printing Margins - Reset Safari Library?

I am having a problem printing documents from safari, from only 1 of my accounts on my macbook. The guest account has no problems printing.
The problem is the same regardless what printer I print to. When told to print safari will format the document to fill the entire page. Creating a custom size paper with custom margins doesn't correct the problem either. When printing pages, safari formats the page to print larger than the margins the printer can physically print to (unless set up to print borderless). Also, printing to pdf produces a document that is formatted to outermost margins of the document.
Is it possible to reset safari to a like new state? I've tried going Safari -> Reset Safari, with no improvement. I don't want to create a new user account, there must be a way to reset it.
Thanks in advance!

Ok, I had the same problem where the left margin was clipped off and literally spent hours trying to fix it.
I found a solution that worked for me so I registered for this Forum expressly to post the fix.
It's simple, but not intuitive.
From *within Safari* choose "File-->Print." Then select the "Paper Size" drop-down option and choose "Manage Custom Sizes."
Use the "+" sign to create a new template.
Double-click on the name of the template "Untitled" and type in a name of your choosing, such as "US Letter for Safari" and hit "return" to save the name.
For "Paper Size" type in "8.5 in" for width and "11 in" for height.
For "Non-Printable Area" select "User Defined."
Then input your Top, Bottom, Left, and Right margin settings.
I input the following:
-Top and Right: .25"
-Bottom: .5"
-Left: .35"
Then hit "OK" and quit Safari.
Then go to "System Preferences -->Print and Fax" and then select your printer from the menu on the left side.
Once you do that, you should see a drop-down tab in the lower-middle section of the screen that says, "Default Paper Size."
Select the paper size that you just created in Safari and quit System Preferences.
Then open Safari and print a test page.
What's really odd is that you DO NOT need to select the Paper Size on the "Print" screen menu. For me, it still defaults to "Letter," but it actually prints the margin sizes that I set for my Custom paper size.
I hope this saves at least one person all the frustration that I went through looking for a fix!

Unable to set up printer when installing drivers.

My office uses a HP Deskjet 4620 wireless printer. And we just ot a new computer, so we tried to connect the printer to the computer via wireless.
The computer was able to detect the printer in Device and Printers. And it shows up in the Devices and Printers. As we have not installed the driver for the printer, we ere unable to start printing. So we went online to the HP website to download the drivers for the printer. We started with the basic driver. But when insalling, and after choosing wireless mode, we saw the 'checking network environment' bar fill' and it told us to plug in the USB. we refused and since the printer is alreay on the network, where other computers are using it at the time, we chose the ' rinter is already connected' option. The printer's wireless is lighting with a blu light, so we chose 'printer is connected' option, which told us to input the printer's iP address. So we did, but after pressing 'NEXT', it said that the driver is unable to find the printer.
We have rechecked the ip address, which is the one displaed on the printer.
We have tried printing with another PC, the printer works fine.
We have tried plugging in the USB cable, but even when the PC detected the printer, the setup is not able to find the printer, as the 'next' button was greyed out even when attempting to set up while to connecting via USB.
Windows was able to detect and attempt to install drivers for the printer, but the drivers installer was unable to add the printer.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Please click the wireless icon on the printer and locate its listed IP address, be sure to clarify the exact IP address, subnet mask and Default Gateway of the printer.
On your PC keyboard click the Windows logo and the R keys simultanly, then type CMD into the Run dioalog and click OK.
Type IPCONFIG and click on Enter.
Locate the IPv4 information of your PC (you might need to scroll up).
What are the IP Address, subnet mask and Default Gateway of your PC?
What happens if your type the printer's IP into your web browser? can you access the pritner homepage?
What security software you have installed on your PC?
Say thanks by clicking the Kudos thumb up in the post.

Setting Custom printer to default

Printing is not work for me with Read 8.1 on Linux (Ubuntu). It only works if I set printer to Custom and give it an explicit command, e.g. "Lpr -Plp4".
However whenever I restart reader it does not keep custom as the default but goes back to the value set in "LPDEST" environment variable, anyone know how to fix this?

Hello Neha,
Clicking on the properties button does not seem to have any effect, i.e. no text is displayed.
In the Printer dialog box I have on the left:
Name lp4 (from pull down menu)
status lp4 is ready
Type Unknown
when I run "strace -s 256 -f -ff -o log1 acroread"
and using the "default printer" in the pull down menu I get this line amongst others in the main log
readv(3, [{"*acroread*lprCommand:\t/usr/bin/lpr -Plp4\n", 41}, {"\0\0\0", 3}], 2) = 44
and this line in the subprocess log
execve("/usr/bin/lpr", ["lpr", "-P", "lp4", "/tmp/acroread_1128_1128/AcroPTv0YZ"], [/* 81 vars */]) = 0
but no print output.
Doing the same but choosing to use the "custom printer /usr/bin/lpr -Plp4" gave this line in the main log
readv(3, [{"*acroread*lprCommand:\t/usr/bin/lpr -Plp4\n", 41}, {"\0\0\0", 3}], 2) = 44
and this line in the suprocess log
execve("/usr/bin/lpr", ["lpr", "-Plp4", "/tmp/acroread_1128_1128/Acro2p8I98"], [/* 81 vars */]) = 0
and it prints output
If do the same again but use the "custom printer /usr/bin/lpr -P lp4" I get
readv(3, [{"*acroread*lprCommand:\t/usr/bin/lpr -Plp4\n", 41}, {"\0\0\0", 3}], 2) = 44
execve("/usr/bin/lpr", ["lpr", "-P", "lp4", "/tmp/acroread_1128_1128/AcroPTv0YZ"], [/* 81 vars */]) = 0
and again it prints output
thanks,
Dave.

How to Set Default Printer Just for Safari

I use 2 printers.
One prints paper docs etc. The other prints labels only. When i want to print the labels I have to select that printer in the print dialogue in Safari every time. Super annoying.
IS there a way to set a gedault printer just for Safari?
I tried using the localhost:641/admin method and all i get is Bad Request (the localhost address i mention here is not the actual version as i cannot remember it now, but it was something like that)
Using safari 6.0.2 and osx 10.8.2

Printing Margins in Safari

Every time I print anything in Safari (4 or 5). there are zero margins and it doesn't print whatever is on the edge. It does this with every page I print, with all three printers (Epson, HP and Brother). Surely there's a way to adjust this but I can't find it.
There is no "shrink to fit" option in the printer dialogue boxes.
Derek Boles

HI Derek,
If you haven't tried printing to PDF format...
From the Safari Menu Bar click File/Print - Save as PDF
Now open that .PDF file. From the Menu Bar (top of your screen) click File/Print.
That way you have the margins....

How do I adjust print margins in Safari

Hello
I am trying to print out multiple forms via Safari for printing onto removable sticky address labels. I cant seem to adjust the print setting to align the text with the label. I need to set margins to do this. I have tried adjusting the printable area via the manage custom sizes but this doesn't seem to work. All my efforts still result in the printer printing will very narrow margin and my text doesn't align with the labels.
I am worried the I might create a world shortage of ink in my attempts to work out what's wrong. Please help.
I am printing shipping labels in eBay using the Seller manager pro package .
I am using an OKI C531 LED Printer
Many thanks

I am using Snow Leopard and I don't really see a +shrink to fit+ option.
Using Safari (This also happens with Firefox and Opera), when I do the ⌘P, I get the following dialog:
[Print Dialog 1|https://files.me.com/w1jp/udykuc]
The only option I see to scale is either putting some number in the +Scale box+ or on the +Paper Handling+ dialog:
[Print Dialog 2|https://files.me.com/w1jp/uwm676]
Selecting +Scale to fit paper size+ didn't fix the problem either.
It's like the margins aren't working for this printer when printing web pages. All the other applications (non-browser) print correctly.

Tnx,

Unable to set custom keybindings in gnome

I'm using forced fallback mode so I can disable gnome-panel and use AWN instead. And that's working great, except that when I'm in fallback mode my custom keybindings are completely ignored, but the defaults work. I've tried setting them in 'system settings'>'keyboard', ccsm, and org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings with dconf-editor.
Where normally (when using gnome-shell) there's a 'windows' section in 'system settings'>'keyboard', that section is not visible for me. When I change the bindings in ccsm and close it, they're back to default when I check again later. And the settings in dconf-editor persist, but are apparently being ignored in favor of the defualts.
Am I just overlooking a config file somewhere or what?

Thank you for the quick response!

Unable to Set Custom Paper size setting of 15 (width) x 12 (Height) using J

Hi,
     I am unable to print the report using the custom paper size setting of 15 (width) x 12 (Height) with printer friendly fonts so that we can print on Line or dot matrix printer.
     This problem is not solved from last 3 months and we dont get help anywhere.
     We are using Java with Crystal Report XI R2 design for the same.
                       ITable table=null;
DatabaseController dbCtrl=null;
ReportClientDocument oReportDoc=null;
try {
String reportName=fileName;
oReportDoc=new ReportClientDocument();
oReportDoc.open(reportName,0);
dbCtrl = oReportDoc.getDatabaseController ();
rs=ad.sqlStringBigST(query);
table = dbCtrl.getDatabase ().getTables ().getTable (0);
dbCtrl.setDataSource (rs, table.getName(), "Runtimeres");
Object oreportSource=oReportDoc.getReportSource();
IReportSource reportSource=(IReportSource)oreportSource;
PrintReportOptions printOptions = new PrintReportOptions();
printOptions.setPrinterName("EPSON FX-2175 ESC/P");
printOptions.setPaperSize(PaperSize.useDefault);
options.setPaperSource(PaperSource.manual);
oReportDoc.getPrintOutputController().printReport(printOptions);
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println(e.toString());
Please let me know what is the solution for the same.
Regards,
Raj

Hi,
    Yes i can understand that you need to first understand the root of the problem to give me the solution.
    I am here to answer to your questions until you understand what is the problem.
    Yes if i set the standard page size which are given in API doc , it sets up the page correctly.
    Following page size as given in the API doc works fine.
    http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/businessobjectsxi/en/en/RAS_SDK/rassdk_java_api_doc/doc/rassdk_java_apiRef/com/crystaldecisions/sdk/occa/report/document/PaperSize.html
   It is rejecting the custom paper size and custom fonts (which in my case are printer friendly fonts).

Is there a way to set the printed margins to zero. I want to fill the whole page, as much as the printer allows.

Normally Firefox prints Title, URL, time and page number on the four corners of the printed page. I want to remove printing of this
information and instead print the page out to the corners limited by
what the printer allows. I know how to stop printing the URL etc. but then I get empty margins. I want to set this margins to zero so Firefox prints on the whole paper sheet. As it is now I will have to use another browser that doesn't insert unwonted margins.

Is there a way to set the FOLDERS window in Adobe Bridge as a Column view like in Mac OSX Finder?
No, but it is very nice idea, add it to the feature request page:

Unable to set custom icon for system drive

Title says it all. Can't paste new custom icon onto drive icon in the Info panel-nothing happens. Any ideas?

When a custom icon is applied to a folder (including the "boot drive" icon, which is really just the top level folder), an invisible "Icon\r" file is created inside that folder (or a ".VolumeIcon.icns" in case of a volume - I missed this in the last post, sorry) and the "Custom Icon" file attribute is set. In order to do these things, a user must have sufficient privileges to modify the folder.
In Leopard, the default permissions are:<pre>
$ lsbom -d /Library/Receipts/boms/com.apple.pkg.Essentials.bom |grep "^. "
. 41775 0/80</pre>
The owner is "root", group is "admin", both have "read & write" privileges, and everyone else has "read only" privileges.
Similarly, in "Tiger":<pre>
$ lsbom -d /Library/Tiger/BaseSystem.pkg/Contents/Archive.bom |grep "^. "
. 41775 0/80</pre>
Nothing has changed. But furthermore, since the "sticky" bit is set, this might even mean that a custom icon set by one "admin" would only be removable by the same "admin" (though this isn't something I have tested). But either way, at a minimum, "admin" privileges would normally be required.
So if you had previously modified the permissions on the boot drive to allow non-admins to make changes, then certainly you woudn't have to have "admin" privileges to do this. But that is not the "normal" state.
Beyond that, it's hard to say why you can't make the changes even as an "admin" without at least knowing what the current permissions are on "/" and "/.VolumeIcon.icns"...

Unable to set custom speed to motion path on Camera

This is a followup question to "Controlling speed along motion paths"
(Many thanks to Mark Spencer and specialcase for the their excellent insights getting me this far =)
After experimenting with motion paths and realizing they were indeed what I was looking for, I set up my project so that the camera would follow specific paths along 2d images. Everything worked perfectly until I tried to modify the speed along which the camera travels along those paths.
In the motion path, in the speed drop down menu, I can select Constant, Ease in etc.... all the way to Custom, but they work slightly differently than I expected: while before (ie. applying motion curves to objects as opposed to the camera) I was able to getting a diagonal line in the Keyframe Editor where I could modify keyframes using bezier curves to adjust the speed, now, choosing the various speed options appears to change the "Transform.Position.X" and "Transform.Position.Y" curves directly.
When I select "Custom", "Motion path" and Custom Speed" appear in the keyframe menu above the Camera drop down, but its curve appears only as a dotted, completely horizontal line in the graphing window. The "Transform.Position.X" and "Transform.Position.Y" curves also revert to horizontal dotted lines. If I try to add curves to the custom speed line, the X and Y curves remain horizontal and the camera does not move.
Is there some reason I cannot get custom speeds for cameras without losing my motion path data?
Is there some way to work around this?
Thanks again for all of your help,
Tim

I'm not sure if there is some setting I have wrong:
When I try this, while I am able to set keyframes, the motion path data is reset. (ie. the Transform X and Transform Y curves reset to 0).
In the Keyframe Editor, I can make new curves for the X and Y values and for Timing, but the camera does not follow the motion path, it follows the new x and y curves. Trying to get those curves to match the motion path exactly is a large hassle.
This might help:
If I apply the motion path to an shape rather than to the camera, everything works perfectly (the object moves along the motion path, and I am able to set keyframes for the Custom Speed curve with no problems whatsoever). If I then copy the motion path directly from the shape and paste it to the camera layer, the path appears as a red curve (as it should), but the camera does not move.
Is there some way I can upload the motion file so that you can see what exactly is going on?
Thanks again,
Tim
