Using Presets for Printing Panoramas

I have created a generic preset for printing panoramas on an Epson 4900 connected to a Mac with OS 10.8.4. Using the Epson printer driver's Page Setup via Lightroom 5, I reset the length of the panorama for each print and then update the Lightroom preset. Everything else in the preset is correct for my prints (paper, profiles, etc.).
I have, however, periodically had the problem that even after resetting the print length in the driver and updating the generic panorama preset, that the print is the wrong length (either too long or too short) even though all indications are that everything is set correctly (see below). This can occur even if I shutdown and restart Lightroom (I have also had this problem in LR4).
I would like to known how to correctly set up a panorama so paper is not wasted due to an incorrect length.
The following items appear to be set correctly:
(1) Printer Driver Page Setup paper size
(2) The Lightroom Preset for the generic panorama (Both the print size and paper size. I looked at the text of the preset settings via TextEdit) I note that there is binary information at the bottom of the Lightroom preset. Is that being correctly updated?
(3) The print display in Lightroom (the image correctly fills the print template which is of the correct size)
(4) The print cell size in Lightroom is the size I have set in the printer driver
The different sized panorams were printed on different days and the printer was turned off between those days. Cut sheet prints were also printed in between the panorams.
One panorama was 8 feet long but it was truncated at 39 inches twice before it printed correctly (after I restarted Lightroom but not the printer). The other was correctly printed 58 inches long but on 8 feet of paper (which was blank after the image).
I find it hard to believe the printer is remembering an old size (even after being powered off) but if Lightroom is not sending new information, I suppose that is possible.

Hi Venu,
Don't know about best-practice, but you can do this by using the file adapter, using the "Run Operating System Command" to execute a print command on the file.
The file can be formatted in a mapping program.

"Use presets for responsive layout" not working in Chrome

I am building a responsive website. I am going to have parts of the website animated using Edge Animate. I will make the animation and then insert it into a div in the responsive website I am building.
The Adobe Edge animation has a width of 100%, so that it resizes according to the area that it occupies the full width of the div no matter how wide that div may be in px.
It is all working fine, but:
I have an image in the Edge animation that is center aligned. It must stay center aligned no matter what width the animation ends up being.
Within Adobe Edge, in Properties, in Position and Size, there is a option where, if you hover your mouse cursor over the top right button a tool tip says "Use presets for responsive layout"
With the image on the stage selected, I can click on the "Use presets for responsive layout" button and then choose "Centre background Image".
It works perfectly in all browsers accept Chrome (even IE is playing ball this time). In chrome the width of the image stretches out as the div stretches out..
The "Centre background Image" setting says that it won't scale the image. But in Chrome it does.
What can I do to "tell" Edge Animate to center the image but not scale it in the Chrome browser?
I can see that in the image properties it is set to Background image x axis and y axis 50%. And the width is set to pixels. But in Chrome, the image stretches.
If you go to http://www.brainstormadvertising.co.uk/demo/services.html you will see what I mean. The circle image is centering BUT stretching in chrome browsers while centering nicely and NOT stretching in other browsers.

Thank you for your reply Josh. But the point of this setting in Edge Animate is that you can set it up that the background image is center aligned and does not scale. Yet it produces code that gives the width as 21.72%.
A little further along I see background-size: 48px; . This is correct.
So all the browers are reading background-size: 48px; as the scale measurement but Chrome is reading the width only, not the background-width. So this "Use presets for responsive layout" works in all browsers except chrome.
I don't know how to change that code after the artwork has been published. I can see the code using Firebug, but where do I change it in my code on my computer before uploading to the server?
I have reported this bug to Adobe.
Please see the attachment. You can see where all the settings are made and where I am getting a problem.

How to use AVDocPrintPagesWithParams for printing without any prompt dialog or alert message ?

Hi Friends,
I have a problem to print the pages of a pdf, but with out any dialog box prompt. So I choosed the api AVDocPrintPagesWithParams(avDoc, avDocPrintParam);
But I don't know how to set parameter for 2nd parameter of the funtion. My requirement is I want to print pdf's using default printer of the system i.e. Print As PDF using Abode PDF print.
Page Dimension should be same as previous, with postscript value 3 (best print).
I have used AVDocPrintPages (AVDoc doc, ASInt32 firstPage,ASInt32 lastPage, ASInt32 psLevel, ASBool binaryOK,ASBool shrinkToFit); But it gives an error message for some pdf's that PDF may not printed correctly because font information couldn't be found.
So can anyone let me know please how to set the parameter of AVDocPrintParam, so that I can use AVDocPrintPagesWithParams and do the same job.
Thanks and Regards,
Saffiuddin Sheikh.

Dear lrosenth,
I am into an operation where I have check whether each objects falls inside my rectangular region or not. For this I am taking help of BBox and matrix information. The problem is that when I find PDF's those have form or container objects, their matrix and BBox is depenedent on matirx of the form or container containing them.
In most cases by adding(concetinating ) the matrix value of form and the element gives the correct matrix, BBox value, but some cases I am yet to understand the behaviours. So to avoid these form and container for our immidiate project delivery, we are using this option to print the pdf and then process for checking the position of elements.
My original requirement is :
How to know objects position inside a form or container ?
This is just an alternative time being way to achieve the task. But if you have any idea of how to detect postion of objects inside form/container then please let me know.

How to Create and apply adjustment preset for printing

How can I create an adjustment preset that I can apply to images before I print? In Photoshop CS3, it's easy: I just create an action. But how do I apply a preset that simply shifts existing settings a relative amount instead of applying absolute settings that overwrite image-specific settings?
The problem is that my Epson R1800 and its profiles output images that have a yellow shift to them. What I want to be able to do is apply a +5 shift to the shadow tint (camera calibration) and a +10 shift to the WB tint on top of whatever settings I already have after development.
Any ideas?
(and yes, I do use colour management, my monitor is calibrated, and I instruct LR2 to manage colour and use the profile specific to my printer, paper, and print quality setting)

No ideas here? Surely someone must have wanted to apply an adjustment to compensate for a printer's tendencies or the different dmax, shadow detail, and colour temperature of various papers and illuminant sources (incandescent vs daylight fluorescent, sunlight), or at least use different tone / contrast settings or different amounts of sharpening (before the new print sharpening facility appeared in LR2).

Setup Problem HP6830 using Hotspot for Printer & Laptop

I have a TMobile Hotspot that gives me internet access for my laptop.I have a HP Officejet Pro that I just got and I'm trying to set it up on the Hotspot network.I've installed (via disk) the HP Software on my Toshiba Coimputer.I've gone through the setup process on the printer and it shows I'm connected to the Hotspot Network.When I try to go through the setup process on the computer it says it can't find that printer.I've checked - over and over again - the IP, and printed everything out (Config Page & Network TestResults) on the Printer, and it indicates everything is OK. My question is - Why can't my computer find the computer (they're both on the same Hotspot Network)?I don't have a USB Cable right now, and I'm trying to set it up wirelessly. Any suggestion about what I might have missed? Any help would be appreciated

Hey , Welcome to the HP Support Forum. I understand you're encountering some setup issues when using your HP Officejet Pro 6830 e-All-in-One Printer with a mobile hot spot. I would like to assist you with this. In my experience, mobile hotspots are hit and miss when used to support printers' wireless connections, even when the setup's are completed with diligence and care on the part of the user. This caveat aside, as there are no official documents from HP on how to troubleshoot this particular issue, I recommend toggling airplane mode on your T-Mobile device before restoring the hotspot connection. Try the printer to laptop connection via the software as before, once you've confirmed the laptop's connected to the hotspot. If this approach falls short, you could try the alternative and HP supported wireless direct setup method. Here's how: From your printer's front panel touch the Wireless Direct icon ()Turn Wireless Direct OnFrom here you can choose to have it enabled with Security On or Off. If you turn Security On, make a note of the passcode (it'll come in handy later).To learn how to complete the setup on your computer and any other mobile devices, click here for more instructions. Please let me know the result of your troubleshooting by responding to this post. If I have helped you resolve the issue, feel free to give me a virtual high-five by clicking the 'Thumbs Up' icon below and clicking to accept this solution.

Using InCopy for print and DPS

We are just starting a workflow of print and DPS going simultaneously by using InCopy files as our main text. We are currently working out some kinks, but one thing has me perplexed.
I have a case where I have a paragraph in the DPS layout that I need to adjust tracking. But when I check it back in after making the change, it then changes the tracking in the print document as well. I guess I'm a little surprised that the kerning attributes are tied to the InCopy file. I should add that I do have a style sheet set up in both DPS and print with the same name but different attributes, so that is working well.
But, I see this as a problem that will come up a lot. For example, on one document I may have a widow that I need to fix by tracking in or out--but I do not want to change the tracking in the other document.
Is there any workaround for this (short of breaking the InCopy link)?

It makes perfect sense, really. You’re using InDesign styles in a similar way that you’d use CSS to style HTML.
Apply different CSS files to the same content and you get different results for the same content. But if you use an inline style in the HTML, you can’t control it externally.

Am upgrading to Lion. Does anyone know if this new system will replace the operating system presets for printing that are on Leopard?

Having trouble with my print operating system. It will not hold presets. If I upgrade to Lion, will Lion replace Leopard's print operating system?

It'll likely replace the printer drivers too since some older drivers may rely on Rosetta, which Lion eliminates. Along with new drivers, you may loose printing capabilities, as I did with a legacy Epson printer. Since you're in the Mac Pro forum, if you actually have a Mac Pro, it might be wise to install an additional hard disk and run the Lion upgrade on that. Try it out and see if you actually get an improvement. If not, you've still got Leopard to retreat to and an extra disk to back up on.

HT1515 Does the airport express need to be connected to router if you are using USB for printer?

My thinking was I could connect airport express to printer by USB and it would work without connecting it using CAT5 to router. Am i wrong??

This should work fine if the Express is connecting to a wireless network provided by another Apple router. Is that the case here?

Use paint() for print()????

I see many print examples out there on the web and such. I am wondering why for the print function, they just don't call paint() on the component they want to print.
For example, if you have a JTextArea and you want to print it, make the object implementint the Printable interface and have the print function just invoke paint() on that text area for each page. I did this, and don't see any problems. It was much quicker than formatting the text myself. I just modify the graphics object and pass it to the paint function and voila, it looks exactly like the JTextArea if the JTextArea were as big as the piece of paper. I am just wondering why the examples out there don't do it this way. Is there some problem I am going to run into? I have run into no problems so far and printing works fine.
thanks for any help/suggestions.

Indeed, that's the default for Swing components. Quoting from javax/swing/JComponent.java in src.jar:
    public void print(Graphics g) {
     setFlag(IS_PRINTING, true);
     try {
         paint(g);
     finally {
         setFlag(IS_PRINTING, false);
    }I'll note two things .. one is the AWT heavyweight components cannot be printed this way. Second, what if you want the printed representation different than the screen representation? For example, you want different font characteristics on screen than on paper because printers have much higher resolution (dpi) than screens.

I just bought a wireless officejet 4500 and am trying to make my ipad 2 be able to use it to print

being stupid about wireless printers i thought all i had to do was buy a wireless printer and my ipad 2 could use it for printing. i have installed the printer wirelessly via my router to my desktop with windows vista 64 bit. is there any way to get it to airprint enable or whatever i need to be able to use it with my ipad
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hello bluenitro1,
You may be able to print to your OfficeJet 4500 Wireless by downloading the HP ePrint home & biz app from the App Store. I believe the app does support this printer but it may also depend on your routers configuration for this to work successfully.
You may also want to look into Google Cloud Print for an alternative mobile printing option. Some more information on this can be found at:

Formatting for print

I have read about using CSS for printing out your pages so
that you dont
have to create 2 copies of each page you want printed.. but i
cant find how
to actually put it to use..
I have added the necessary code to my CSS file.
I have changed the media type to media="print"
and all i keep reading is that this allows you to have the
same page
formatted for print..
But how exactly do i call the same page for print? do i add a
link to the
page saying click here to print? if so what woudl the link
actually point
to?
or by just including the right code, when the end-user choses
to click print
within there browser that knows to display the same page
using the
print.css?

The browser display will always be the same, whether you have
a print CSS
option or not.
The arrangement is -
You have one style sheet for your screen layout say
"screenstyle.css" and
one for your print layout say "printstyle.css"
You ad both style sheets to your page code -
<link href="screenstyle.css" rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css" media="screen"
/>
<link href="printstyle.css" rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css" media="print"
/>
When a user views your page on their screen it is laid out
according to your
screenstyle.css style sheet.
When the user prints the page, the printed output is laid out
according to
you printsyle.css style sheet.
Hope this helps

Has anyone used Motion for 'still graphics' (300dpi)?

I used Motion a lot several years ago on a film. Great app. I'm producing a series of Ebooks right now, with many graphics. I'm using Pages, Photoshop, EasyDraw, for the graphics ... but remember how marvelous Motion was.
I'm wondering if it is possible to use Motion just for doing still graphics? And how one might set the resolution to reflect this (something like 300 dpi), ... or can one set any size (a very large 72dpi (given it's designed for motion and video) that can then be translated to 300 dpi after the fact.
If anyone has ever used Motion for simple non-motion graphics, I'm all ears,
Ben

First of all, create a new document in Photoshop: enter your output format (US Letter, A4, whatever) with 300 dpi settings. Then change your units from to pixels and that is the size that your motion project should have.
Remember though, that Motion outputs only in RGB that has a much wider gamut than CMYK, which is the colorspace of print. So you might still have to color proof your image in Photoshop.
Also, depending on your graphics card, Motion has a limit of image sizes it can work on: 2K, 4K or 8K in the current models. For large print formats that could be not enough.
I would never use Motion for print jobs. However I can imagine that I could export (with transparency) some effects like stills from animated particles, 3D replicators and import them into my photoshop composition. So Motion could be used more like an extra tool.
