When using 2 printers at 2 locations. Rather than make sure the correct printer is shown when I print is there a way to make one change when I change locations?s there a way to

I have 2 residences each with a printer. When I move from one place to another and try to print I always have to make sure the correct printer is shown in the print window. What can I do to make one change on my MacBook Pro when I change locations so I am not bothered with this nuisance problem?

There was a way from OS9 location manager to set a default printer for any given location. This is not the case in OSX.
You can however, easily change the default printer in Terminal.app with lpoptions -d PRINTERNAME. To view all the printers type lpstat -p. Keep in mind that the name in lpstat -p may be a little different than the name in Printer Setup Utility. You must use the lpstat -p, PRINTERNAME when changing it in Terminal.app. Of course, if the names are the same, you don't need to worry about it.

  • I created a website with iWeb but use GoDady for hosting it rather than MobileMe. The images on my Gallery page do not show at all on the external domain but they DO show when seen on MobileMe. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Many thanks!

    Hello al!
    I created a website with iWeb but use GoDady for hosting it rather than MobileMe. The images on my Gallery page do not show at all on the external domain but they DO show when seen on MobileMe. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Many thanks!

    Just create a new page (or use the existing photo page) on your external site and use html to add an iframe sized to the page and link it to the mobilme gallery page. Works for me just fine when showing my gallery from a yahoo site.
    like this
    <iframe scrolling="off" allowTransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="yes" style="width:100%;height:100%;border:none" src="http://gallery.me.com/your_account_name"></iframe>

  • The preview page shows a pink/purple background when i place a.swf file rather than a transparency why?

    The preview page shows a pink/purple background when i place a.swf file rather than a transparency why?Would you be kind enough to help?

    Hello,
    Usually pink\purple background appears when "Show Grid Overlay" is enabled.
    please go to View > Hide Grid Overlay and see if it works.
    I am not sure if it will fix the problem as you said that pink\purple background appears when you place a swf file only.
    If this do not fix the problem I would request you to share the screenshot of the design mode for better idea of the problem.

  • [svn] 3718: Make sure the server is stopped even when a unit test fails.

    Make sure the server is stopped even when a unit test fails. Thanks to Alex for the fix.
    Modified Paths:
    blazeds/trunk/modules/core/build.xml

    I had the same issue after upgrading from 10.7.2 to 10.7.3 and changing my main SSL cert.
    The solution was to make sure the correct cert was listed in:
    /etc/openldap/slapd.conf
    as well as:
    /etc/openldap/slapd.d/cn=config.ldif
    It looks as though the slapd.conf file gets updated properly when you select an SSL cert in the Server Admin app, but the cn=config.ldif does not. That is the one that was hanging my server up.
    Hope this helps!

  • How can I file at last location rather than location of current file?

    I have Abobe Reader X.  In the old Adobe, when I saved a file, it took me to the last folder I was in, not the location of the current file.  Thus far, I have not been able to find out how to get Adobe Reader X to do this.  I even asked work help desk for help and their solution to unclick 'Automatically save document changes to temp file' worked once. 
    Is it possible?  This is what I want.
    Example:
    I open file that is saved at Y:Scanned Files and save it at
    X:Dogs/Breeds/Hounds/Sighthounds/Basenjis.  I open the next file that is at Y:Scanned Files and click on File:Save As/PDF and window opens to save at Y:Scanned Files rather than at X:Dogs/Breeds/Hounds/Sighthounds/Basenjis, where I just was.  I want to save file at X:Dogs/Breeds/Hounds/Sighthounds/Afghans so instead of just one click, I now have to go through six.  Now imagine you have 30 or 40 documents you have to save.  That's minimum 180 clicks versus 30.  A big difference.  And if you multiply it further by daily and weekly, it's a lot.
    How can I get Adobe Reader X to open the 'save as' window at the last location rather than the current file's address?  I also have Adobe Acrobat, but can't figure out how to get it work in that either.
    I do not like Adobe Reader X.   Unfortunately, it got downloaded automatically at work. 
    Another complaint I have is when I have Adobe Acrobat open and I click on a pdf to open, rather than open in Adobe Acrobat, it opens in Adobe Reader X (which was not the case with the previous Reader).  If I want to open a doc in Acrobat, I have to go to Acrobat and File/Open, which is a pain.
    Another complaint is, why do you have 'save as' and then 'pdf' or 'text'?  This is another time consuming click I have to make.  Add it to the 180 I'm already making above and you can see why I'm extremely unhappy and frustated with this version of Adobe. 
    Please let me know if the above is feasible or not and if it is, how to do it.  If it isn't feasible, please make the above adjustments to Reader Y and put it out pronto.  Thank you.

  • In iTunes, is there any way to play one song at at time and have the song stop at its end.  I want to play guitar with a track and have that track stop playing rather than going to the next song.

    I want to play a single song in iTunes on my ipad and have the track stop when the song finishes, rather than itunes playing the next track.  I play guitar with the track and need iTunes to stop at the end of the song.
    I have worked around this issue by creating a separate play list for each song, then inserting the song into the play list.  I would like to find a more straight forward solution that would eliminate this extra step.  On my PC, I use QuickTime to bring up an individual song and then can play one track at a time.
    Thanks!

  • When i open a new tab, rather than the curser flashing in the url space it opens a new search page. how do i get the new tab to open at the url?

    when i open a new tab, rather than the curser flashing in the url window it opens a new search page. a new tab used to open at the url - how do i get it to do so again?

    A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
    If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.

  • I heard some promote use of "Terminal Services(RDS)", rather than App-V application with SCCM 2012 even if you have SCCM licens.

    Hi,
    I heard some promote use of "Terminal Services(RDS)", rather than App-V application with SCCM 2012 even if you have SCCM licens. The reason you dont need to repackage\test the application on an client OS...
    I don't agree and I have not Heard this Before, just that you use TS for some scenario.
    Or is it more likely that "Terminal Services(RDS)", take over the applikation administration?
    /SaiTech

    Surely this all depends on your environment. There's nothing wrong with creating RemoteApps to push to client devices. Maybe you have an environment where RDS is widely used. 
    Why not leverage both solutions and target App-V's at RDS servers and then create App-V based RemoteApps that users can run at home as part of a home working solution via RDWeb.
    Creating apps via RDS will be an admin overhead yes but then so is creating App-V packages in SCCM.
    I don't agree with the arguement re: 'you dont need to repackage\test the application on an client OS...' as
    App-V allows you to run on multple O/S types. 
    To be honest both technologies have their pros and cons.

  • I put together and sent 10 pictures from my granddaughter's birthday party. Is there a way of sending them with a link recipients can click on, rather than having all the pictures download as part of the email message?

    I put together and sent 10 pictures from my granddaughter's birthday party. Is there a way of sending them with a link recipients can click on, rather than having all the pictures download as part of the email message?

    Hello userlarry, do you have Mobile Me? You could use that. Or you could compress them, you would still need to send them in an email, but it would help with size limitations of emails.
    To compress them, put them in a folder and right click on the folder. You should see a Compress option. Then just drag the .zip file into your mail.

  • Is it possible to use the drawing dynamic content to erase an image rather than draw over the top?

    I'm trying to create a cover for my magazine  that has a chalk board with writing on. I want the user to be able to erase the writing with their finger but can't figure out how to do it. All i can do is draw a solid colour over the top. What i want is for the finger swipe to erase the .png image instead. wondered if it can be done using a mask but I can only get a mask to reveal solid colour not an image.

    If the images are exactly the same size then make sure the layer with the mask
    is the active layer and in the other documents go to Select>Load Selection and choose
    your document with the layer mask under Source document and under channel choose the layer mask.
    After the selection loads press the layer mask icon at the bottom of the layers panel.

  • How do I get the numbers ipad app to plot a graph of dates against values, where the most recent date is on the right of the graph, but the most recent date is at the top rather than bottom of the rows in the table?

    How do I get the numbers ipad app to plot a graph of dates against values, where the most recent date is on the right of the graph, but the most recent date is at the top rather than bottom of the rows in the table?
    Also how can it be a line graph without plotting a circle at each value?
    Thanks this is very frustrating

    Make a copy of the table and produce your Line chart or Bar chart from the copy. Sort the copy into the order you want to see in your chart.
    Alternately you could use a Scatter Chart...
