Where do print preferences live?

I believe I need to delete some print preferences. But the problem I hope to resolve involves printing through a print server. (I have a Mac Mini acting as a server for two other Macs.)
Do the preferences in this case reside on the server? Or are all of them always just on the local computer? If they're on the server, in which folder?

Do a File>Find and look for com.apple.print (print prefs files). Same location(s) on server and client.

  • Trying to configure printing preferences

    Need help badly!
    We are using Adobe Reader 10 over Citrix and I am unable to locate where the print preferences are stored. Used several registry capture tools in an attempt to identify how to force the "Fit" print option.
    Can't find anything on the internet besides a ton of the same question.
    Can anyone help identify where these settings are stored? Thanks you very much for your help!

    Well I can start by saying that it should never take 2 weeks of searching to figure out how to configure your product. Adobe should be ashamed of themselves. These settings are not even in the configuration guide or the AIM for Acrobat that "supposedly" has all of the policy settings. Theres a bprintCommentPopups but no bprintExpandToFit, oops!
    The settings that will force the print dialoge to "Fit" are these:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\AVGeneral]
    "bprintExpandToFit"=dword:00000001
    "iprintScaling"=dword:00000002
    Thanks to my teammate who spotted it in an exported registry file.

  • Where does Acrobat Reader store its print preferences?

    I'm trying to print a file directly with no human interaction using Acrobat Reader. To do such, I'm using the command line arguments "acrord32.exe /t filename \\printerlocation\printer".
    Printing works just fine except for one detail: some of my pdf files need printing with "Auto Rotate and Center" checked and "Page Scaling" to "None", while others need "Auto Rotate and Center" unchecked and "Page Scaling" to "Fit to Printable Area"...
    I've realised that Acrobat Reader stores its last selected preferences (if you close Acrobat and re-open it, these two settings are still set as they were the last time you closed Acrobat) but the question is... where?!
    I've noticed the bprintAutoRotate and the bprintExpandToFit keys in the registry under (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\8.0\AVGeneral) and they even change their values whenever I change the options in Reader and close the application, but changing them through my application seems to have no effect - I see the values changing in the registry but Acrobat still prints (and displays if I open the print preferences dialog) the last settings it had memorized before I changed them in my application...
    Is there any other location where Acrobat stores these printing preferences? Is there a way to change these settings through the windows registry or any other configuration file(s)?!
    By the way, I'm using Acrobat Reader 8.1.3.
    Thanks in advance

  • Where is Epson Printing Preferences ?

    Hi,
    I recently switched from PC to iMac, and I'm very happy I did. But, my Epson 1290 (1270 for USA) printer does not act the way I know from PC. I always had the possibility to change the printer's settings (resolution, kind of paper, paper size and so on) when I was in the Print dialog box. Where can I find that on my iMac. The Epson site doesn't give me any clue on how to get at this, so maybe someone on this forum might.
    On the PC I used to have a little utility called Epson Status Monitor, and this I can't find either on my iMac.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Oops,
    I told I just recently switched from PC to Mac. Well, that's what all the print confusion came from.
    Printing on the Mac is a little different then on a PC .
    There is this little arrow besides the dropdown where you choose your printer. That little arrow shows the printing preferences/settings I was looking for.
    They where there all along.
    I know, I should be more patience and try, try, look, look, and try and look again.
    Problem solved, and thanks to Dennis who was really trying to help me.

  • Where is the Printer Preferences Dialog?

    I'm running PSE 6 for Mac on an iMac using Leopard.  Printer is Canon iP6600D.  After calibrating the monitor (using Apple's program under System Preferences), I opened a jpg on my desktop and made a print, and it matches the monitor fairly closely.  Then I decided to open the same jpg inside PSE and print from there.  Then it asked me under color management/color handling whether PSE or the printer manages the colors (or no color management).  Depending on the answer, it says I need to disable or enable color management in the Printer Preferences Dialog.  I have two questions:
    1)  Where can I find the Printer Preferences Dialog?
    2)  Is it better to let PSE or the Printer handle the color management?
    I actually have a third question (sorry).  When I make prints from our local Walgreens or WalMart, the prints seem way too dark and saturated (WalMart) or has a bluish/purple-ish cast (Walgreens).  Maybe their printers are not calibrated like they're supposed to be??

    Thanks.  I used PSE to produce two jpgs of the same image, one with the 'standard' monitor calibration (gamma = 1.8), and the other using a calibration with gamma = 2.2.  Images are sRGB, and I used the 'no color management' setting in PSE.  I made prints on my Canon ip6600D, and they matched the monitor pretty closely for the respective profiles.  The print made with the gamma 2.2 calibration came out lighter than the gamma 1.8 calibration, which was expected.  So at this point it looks like my monitor and printer are working okay.
    However, I just got back from Walmart, and these same two prints are way too dark, and they are the same exposure (one should be lighter).  Does their machine (Fuji Frontier I believe) automatically optimize the images?  If so, that is not good.  What do I do now?  Do I have to use a printer profile that matches their machine?  My prints looks good (according to my monitor and printer), but I would like to make prints from Walmart or Walgreens if I need to print out a large quantity (saves time, money, ink and paper cost).  Also, I want to send a cd to friends so they can make prints, but at this rate, it is not going to work.

  • Where are my printer preferences in ipad2?

    I'm trying to print from my iPad and it has become mission impossible. I do not have an airprinter but I have a wireless lermax.  I can fallow any suggestions because I can find printer setting anywhere of my iPad

    There are no printer preferences on the iPad. If you don't have an AirPrint printer, you need a third party app in order to print - whether you have a wireless printer or not doesn't matter - you need an app to print.
    Look in the App Store - Print Central, Print and Share, there are others. Search for more.

    Hi I have just got my iMac with Aperture up and running. I would like to print some photos but I cannot find where I can alter the printer preferences to show the correct type of paper? anyone know the answer?
    Thanks

    Press the print command (Command P) and the preferences are there. You can customize them and even save specific preferences you have set up. Each printer will be different depending on that printers abilities, for example on the printer I currently have connected it looks something like:

  • How to fix missing entries in the printing preferences of Adobe PDF

    Hi all,
    we are on Acrobat Pro 8 (8.16) as part of the CS3 Design Standard package.
    A colleague of mine is missing some of the entries in the printing preferences of the Adobe PDF printer:
    The Adobe PDF Security dropdown is empty and he can't set the Printer to ask him where to put the final pdf files ("Prompt for Adobe PDF filename").
    I already tried repairing Acrobat - didn't help.
    Has anyone some ideas what to do?
    Many thanks,
    Mike

    This is getting nasty:
    After reinstalling Acrobat (via the add CS3 components function in "add or remove software") it wants to be activated (!?!) and doesn't accept the CS3 key any more.
    So I will probably have to reinstall the whole CS3.
    Is there any way to make sure that every trace of the old installation gets deleted before I start?

  • Printer preferences in 10.6?

    My paper size as set in system preferences doesn't display correctly in the print window. I need to delete the printer preferences file and start again. Where is the printer preferences file in 10.6?

    Although, deleting the plist fixed the OP's issue, I don't see paper size as one of those entries:
    defaults read com.apple.print.PrintingPrefs
        UseLastPrinterAsCurrentPrinter = 0;

  • Is the print server over-writing client printing preferences with defaults?

    I'm testing a new 2012 R2 print server, and have set the printing defaults by clicking on the printer in Print Management and 'set defaults'.  I used this to set things like double-sided printing etc.
    When the printers are added to the test client workstations (manually, not by group policy), we then have to add in some details in printing preferences to authenticate that client to the printer.  A valid access code, and print mailbox that tally with
    the same settings on the printer.  It's tedious, but that's what our current printers demand.
    What's happening with the new 2012 R2 print server in testing is that it seems to be overwriting these authentication preferences and returning all the printing preferences to the defaults set on the print server.
    It's likely that this is a feature or setting that I'm just not aware of, could anyone tell me please how to set those printing preferences as 'first time' preferences that can then be edited on the workstation, and persist?

    Would you know of any resource where I could learn all the ins and out of printer management in 2012? A blog/a book/MVA course?
    I assume you are using the General tab of the printer properties , then clicking Preferences to set the
    Users defaults with the device specific data. 
    There are two ways to open up the Printing Preferences dialogue for shared printers that I'm aware of.
     Open the Print Management console, open the print server, and printers.  (1) Right Click on the printer and Set Printing Default or (2) Right Click on the printer, Properties, then from General Tab click Preferences.
    Do changes made via both of those routes have the same affect regarding default settings that are given to the client or is there a difference between them?
    I have been using method (1) above, but if there's any difference I'd be interested to know.
    When it comes to adding the printers to the clients, there are also two options.  (A) Control Panel, Printers, Add Printer, and add from directory.  (B) In Windows Explorer, browse to the print server and double click the printer name to connect
    it.
    Is there any difference between those two routes?  I had been using method (B), and then editing the preferences... when then seemed to be overwritten by the server defaults.  Yesterday I used method (A) and so far the printing preferences for
    the test clients have not yet been overwritten.

  • INDCS3 Print Presets do not hold Printer Preference Settings

    We are running WinXP, INDCS3 suite. We noticed that when creating and saving a Print Preset and reloading it to another PC, the Printer preference settings (in particular) paper size and tray do not hold. We created several for staff and when they LOAD them, the printer/preferences from specific printers do not hold. We did not have this problem in CS2.
    Is this simply the fact that the Print screen setting hold, but preferences (setup) for a specific printer do not?
    Can anyone share any info on this?
    KPanthen, Albany, NY

    I'm having a similar problem where I cannot set my printer to collate and the checkbox is grayed out in General tab.. and I know my printers are able to collate.. For some odd reason Indesign doesnt exactly read or detect the printer settings..

  • How to find Printer preferences in Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac?

    Does anyone have an idea where or how to access the printer preferences or dialog box through Elements 8 for mac? I have an Epson R2880 and am trying to access the printer preferences to be able to change the paper type, print in B/W or choose different things. I am able to access this on Elements 8 for Windows but not for Mac, does it exist or am I looking in the wrong place?

    After you click Print in the PSE print window, the OS X print window appears. You may need to click the arrow to the right of the printer's name to expand the dialog box to see the menus, but you'll find the paper/ink settings in the pulldown menu in the middle of the larger window.

  • Can't save printing preference HP 6313 All in one

    Since last week my settings changed to the default factory settings and I've tried changing them back to the ones I prefer by doing the following:
    Control panel - Printers and Faxes - right click HP 6313 - printing preference and then I make the changes and click ok / apply (where applicable and where I can)
    Close everything and when I print it's back to the factory settings. Nothing stays the way I want it to.
    I can't save a new printing shortcut, there's no space to fill in a new shortcut.
    I'm running Windows XP.
    The only thing I changed was my scan properties, and I don't think that doing that could change my printing properties.
    Any help would be appreciated since I forget to change the settings every time and I'm wasting ink (which I don't like doing)

  • Printer Preferences Output Folder

    Hi.
    I have a question about the output folder in the printer preferences. I seem to have reached the maximum number of items that can be browsed for (10). When I browse for a new location, it lets me browse, but won't save the location. Does anyone know how to delete the old items in the list so that I can add a new location? I have tried deleting them from the registry but that didn't work, it just repopulated itself. Thanks for any help you can give me.
    Karin

    I have the browse option. Everytime I browse for a location it saves it in the drop down box. I seem to have reached the maximum number of items that can be browsed for (10). When I browse for a new location, it lets me browse, but won't save the location. I need to be able to delete the old items in the list so that I can add a new location. I have tried deleting them from the registry but that didn't work, it just repopulated itself. It must be storing the entries somewhere else, but I don't know where.

  • Print Preference

    Hi Guys
    i have a major issue with the Print Specs on the Sales Order, the Print preference does not work, as i add the sales order that needs to generate a pick slip there is no pick list that prints, even tho print picking sheet is on, and the preference is ticked to print picking sheet?
    What could the problem be?
    Even when other print preferences are ticked, AR Invoice or Sales Order etc the document does not print at all, only on the repritn where we go back to the Document and select the Printer, a printer is attached to the PLD under the Document Properties.

    You may check under Pick and Pack Manager to see if those Sales Orders have valid pick lists first.
    Thanks,
    Gordon
