  • Draft printing set to standard??

    I'd be grateful for any advice.
    I'm running LR3 on a 2008 13"Macbook running Snowleopard and a Epson PX710W printer.
    Its always printed beautifully but suddenly all prints are printed using ? a draft setting. They run through quickly at poor quality. Printing through Epson's own print utility gives good quality but poor colour management and is not an option.
    Draft mode is not set to on and I can't find any other settings to change. Drivers are up to date (no longer actually updated by Epson so nothing to change).
    Does anyone have any ideas what might be the problem?
    Many thanks,
    Dan

    Print image
    - using Epson R800
    - checking 'Printer Settings' -> choosing correct
    preset
    - selecting 'Printer Settings' again -> shows Preset
    'standard'
    What am I missing?
    I have the same printer.
    Aperture works a little differently with the Print dialogue - one way is that as you noticed the "Standard" preset is always chosen... however that is not what is actually used.
    If you look, after you choose a preset and the return back to the printer dialogue all your preset values should still be set even though "Standard" is displayed as a preset. I have a profile for Premium Lustre paper and that paper is still chosen on return to the dialogue.
    I would reccomend making sure the printer settings have "printer color management" off (I think Aperture will do this by default) and then choose one of the Epsor R800 paper specific profiles from the Colorsync dropdown in the Aperture print dialogue - it will look something like "SPR800 PremLuster BstPhoto.icc".

  • How do I change the printer setting to print in Black only?

    How can I change my printer setting to print in Black only

    It depends on your printer as well; my Epson AIO only does color (even when it is black font only) - or grayscale )sort of a "draft" quality) as it uses some color even for black:

  • What other hp print drivers will work with the officejet pro 8600

    I have an Officejet Pro 8600 and like many others here, I am having a problem printing a custom size envelope (6x9). I did find that I can use the drivers for a deskjet 450 and setup  my 8600 using those drivers. However, the 450 6x9 does not have a portait option in the layout.
    My question is, what other hp print drivers will work in the 8600? I'm hoping one will have a 6x9 portrait layout?

    Hello wingcheck,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're receiving a problem printing a custom envelope size (6x9). You did state that you installed a Deskjet 450, but it doesn't come with a portrait option. I will do my best to assist you!
    First,  I need to find out your operating system on your computer? Windows or Mac?
    If you have a Windows computer and using this Deskjet 450 driver, have you checked Devices and Printers on your computer to see if you have this portrait option:
    1) Right click on the Deskjet 450, then click on Printer Preferences
    2) Very top you should see a tab called "Finishing" and look for Orientation
    3) You should see portrait, landscape, rotate by 180 degrees or mirror image.
    4) Let me know if you don't have this option on this post
    If not, then I would recommend installing a Deskjet 9800 to see if you have this option. Please follow this HP document on Installing an Alternate Print Driver in Windows 7 for a USB Cable Connection. When setting up this custom size, change the paper type to "Other Specialty Media". Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great night!
    Hi Cheetah .... I don't have access to my printer at the moment due to travel, but here's what I have right now. My operating system is Windows 7 64. That's not much, but it is a start. I will have the additional information for you in a day or so. Something else I discovered in the user guide, which I didn't know, is that each tray will only handle specific media. So, when I print envelopes, I will have to use Tray 1 in order to do so. 
    Now I do have another question for you. Can I have installed, 2 different sets of print drivers at the same time without it causing a conflict? I'm assuming the diffenent driver will simply show up as a different printer in the listed printers, right?? Any way, thanks for your quick response, and upon arriving home, I will follow your previous suggestions. I will also keep you posted as to my success or failure.
    Thanks
    Paul

  • Preview Default Print Setting "Fit to Page" Problem

    Preview.app in Snow Leopard has removed the option to print without scaling, and recreating this behaviour with the remaining options is quite complex and requires 4 extra steps.
    Steps to Reproduce:
    1. Open a document in Preview.app, such as a PDF, of a known paper size.
    2. Select 'File' > 'Print…'
    3. Change the paper size to one where the default scale value with the default 'Scale to Fit:' 'Print Entire Image' is not 100%. This step is often unnecessary, as many documents will require reduction to include margins, even if the paper sizes match.
    4. Select 'Scale:'
    5. Select the scale % value.
    6. Delete the scale value.
    7. Input '100' in the scale value box using the keyboard.
    8. Press tab to avoid radar #7256827.
    9. Click 'Print'
    Expected Results:
    Click on a single option to print at 100%, if by chance that wasn't the default option. This would have been one step.
    Actual Results:
    Does what it says. Steps 4 through 8 are necessary to print at 100% in most cases.
    Regression:
    This behaviour was as expected in OS X 10.5.x and previous versions, or we wouldn't be having this discussion.
    Notes:
    Printing at 100% is the only scaling that is common enough to warrant a button to make it an easy one to get to. Preview.app itself even has an 'Actual Size' toolbar button, but has removed this function for printing.
    Graphic designers (and other professionals) or specific applications (such as printing on pre-cut or pre-printed paper, labels, or DVDs) can commonly require printing at 100%, and using PDF to distribute documents makes Preview.app the most logical choice for many printing jobs.
    Having something other than 100% as a default can cause expensive media to be ruined by a mis-scaled printout, unless these 4 (+1) steps are followed every time.
    Most other apps, including Safari, Mail.app and TextEdit default to no scaling, making Preview.app an exception.
    I am an architect and this is really annoying!
    Does anyone know a workaround?

    Sorry no workaround as yet...
    I too am now sick of the amount of expensive paper I have wasted due to the Preview app default print setting of 'Scale to fit'.
    - No option to print at 100%, you have to manually input this information.
    - No way to change this default in preferences, you can change the opening viewing size of a doc to 100% though.
    - Doesn't remember the previous settings if you decide to reopen the doc and print another copy.
    I also found that if I attempted to print an A4 doc with bleed and crop marks, it would set the default paper size to A4 and the annoying scale to fit would be set to 83%. If I then changed the scale by typing in 100% but don't hit enter for fear of the print starting and then simply use the drop down to change the paper to A3 and then change the orientation and then hit enter it ignores that you have changed the scale and prints your doc at 83% on A3 - Brilliant!
    It's a shame to say that I will be going back to acrobat for pdfs!
    If you can't put a 100% scale radio button on the print dialogue box either allow people to change the default in prefs or even better allow the presets to control paper size and scale of printing!

  • Printer doesn't save paper size in saved printer setting

    I have saved an A3 printer setting with the paper size as A3 but it always load the dafult paper size (A4) even when I load my A3 setting. Am I doing something wrong?
    Canon iR ADV C2020 with the latest driver on 10.8.4

    Try holding the Option key and selecting Library from the Go menu in the Finder. Then go to the Preferences folder in the window that opens, and locate the file or files that begins with "com.apple.print.custompresets," and move them out of this folder (e.g., to the trash). After this, log out and back in to your account, and then try setting up your preset again.
    You might also remove the file "com.apple.print.printingprefs.plist" since this is involved with what presets are picked.

  • Need network security settings for wireless printer set-up

    I have an older airpot extreme base station. I'm trying to set-up my wireless brother printer and it says that I need the following network information:
    SSID- I know this one
    Authentication Method (open system/shared key/WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK)
    Encription Mode (None/WEP/TKIP/AES/CKIP)
    Encryption Key (WEP key/Passphrase)
    From what I've found, I believe that I should be using WPA-PSK and TKIP, but what is that passphrase that I'm supposed to use or where can I find out that information?

    I am also trying to set up a wireless printer set up. I have an Airport Extreme and a new Brother wireless printer. Sounds perfect, right? Well, I am so confused right now. I bought an Airport Extreme while overseas a bunch of years ago and am now using it in the States. I have no memory of any info such as what is being asked from me to set up wireless printing. I don't remember the wireless security password, authenication method, or either of the Encryption thingies. I don't know where to find this information, whether it be on my computer somewhere or online. Please advise. Plus I don't use any security settings as I live pretty far from other humans in my neighborhood. Does that matter in the big picture?

  • Default printer setting

    I have a Canon printer set up as the default printer on my Mac. I also have a Dymo label printer that I use occasionally.Althought the Canon printer is the default printer whenever I choose to print from the Dymo printer (using the printer dialogue box - not changing any default settings) the computer never defaults back to the Canon printer. The next time I print, I must remember to open the dialogue box and change it back to the Canon. I usually forget and end up running out a bunch of expensive labels as the computer trys to print a document to the label printer.
    Is there another setting that actually makes the computer default back to the default printer after a certain period of time?
    I am using Mac OS 10.7.4 and have the latest firmware and software updates for both printers.

    Before I print anything I have a question. When
    printing and selecting a printer does if no printer
    is selected does it take the default printer from the
    computer being used? Depends on the application.
    Some desktop apps allow you to choose from among all the printers installed on the client machine.
    This assumes that you have a printer installed on the computer in question. Do you? One is designated as the default. If the app doesn't prompt you, chances are good that it's using the default. (But it's not guaranteed.)
    Our office has over 200
    printers and unfortunately this is the first time we
    have had to print anything. Typically it is
    paperless. Thanks for the help
    E.C.I'll assume these are networked printers and not attached locally to a particular machine. Did you add the printer you wanted by searching on the network for a shared server?
    200 printers in a paperless office? That's a lot of equipment sitting around doing nothing.
    What operating system are you talking about?
    What does any of this have to do with Java?

  • Indesign for print set up

    I am currently working on a project containing a variety of print media, all of which will be exported as a pdf directly from Indesign.  What I dont understand is which colour profile to set for each of my prgrams within creative suite (obviously these all need to be the same).  I aim to send these to a printer within the U.K, how do I select the correct profile? Does it really make a big difference? 

    Thanks for the link, really usefull.  Slowly starting to put together what I need to do, thanks a lot

    For print work in the UK or Europe, I would suggest using "Europe Pre Press 2 (FOGRA 27)" as your profile as you are more likely to find a local printer using this or a similar profile. However, if you are concerned, you could always ask the printer and see what profile they suggest.

  • Need some advice on what kind of printer to purchase???

    Hello!
    I'm a graphic designer in a small town and I'm wanted to break away from working under someone and start my own small business. I want to be able to print my own work and I'm looking for some suggestions on what kind of printer to purchase (something comparable to the xerox 7750?? or if there is something better???) I was looking at Xerox and not sure if that is the way to go. Most of my work will be small: business cards, wedding invites, graduation announcements, etc. I work at a print shop now and we do a TON of that type of work off our Xerox 7750.
    I'd appreciate any advice you have on purchasing the right printer and getting my small business started!
    Thanks

    I also have a Oki C9800hdn postscript and am a solo operator. The Oki also does banners 325x900mm (up to 1200mm long too)on paper and a special weatherproof paper. Standard sizes are up to oversize A3. Remember to order the POSTSCRIPT version of whatever printer you get.
    Consumables are the thing to look at which makes it hard to price cost of prints.
    I used to have a FujiXerox where I paid monthly on a rental agreement - but it was over 5 years which was too long for me. In real terms it worked out about $850 per month including the cost per 'clicks' which I didn't like either. The black toner and maintenance was included for the Xerox, but I still had to pay for the colour toners which were the same price as the Oki colour toners. (Colour approx AUD$480 each and mono approx $170AUD each). Plus the drums for each colour have to be replaced at 30,000 prints. However the Oki colour toners last longer and do more prints. Don't believe the 'number of prints with 5% coverage'. My average coverage is 80% with full colour or mono. Weight of card is up to 250gsm (more than the Xerox did). You can set up profiles so that what you print is very close to any commercial prints you get done for larger runs.

    I accidentally lost my printer set ups and need to restore them.  Can it be done from Time Machine?

    If you don't know what they are, you'll need to go the printer manufacturer's website and check the drivers for your printer. It will then be far the easiest thing just to download them from there.

  • HP deskjet 3050 J610c - draft print problem

    Hi,
    I have just bought the above mentioned printer and noticed that when I copy something the resulting printout is not in draft mode and so uses a lot of ink. I have gone through all settings, even on pc, and have not found a way to set the copy print setting to draft. Is there a way to set the printer to always print in draft mode?
    Thanks for your help.
    Regards
    morris

    I can print in draft on my deskjet 3050, but I can't set the copy function to draft mode. I've searched manuals, printer settings on computer and printer, internet, and all I can find is posts similar to this.
    And so I have the same problem - excess ink consumption, and the paper is messed up because it's soaked with ink.
    Had I known it doesn't do draft mode copying, I doubt I would have bought the printer.  Almost all my printing and copying is done in draft mode. I'm really annoyed. I'd rather feel stupid though - if someone could point out how to set the printer to produce copies in draft or low quality mode.
    Funny, HP advertises this printer as being environmentally friendly ... "ENERGY STAR® Qualified" they say whatever that means. I don't think wasting ink is particularly green.
    "Eco Highlights
    • Designed with the environment in mind—created from 35% recycled plastic.
    • Recycle or reuse 99% of this packaging—including a reusable bag.[eco01]
    • Low energy: Sleep mode is comparable with powering a clock radio."
    Boo to you HP .
