Where is Acrobat Reader 7.0 (Linux) default printer setting saved?

I have a GNU/Linux based system with Firefox/Acrobat Reader v7.0 plugin installed.
I need to set a specific printer for the Reader plugin to use prior to starting the browser.
In AcrobatReader version 5.x, I modified the file 'AcroRead' which contained the line "*lprCommand:/usr/bin/lpr" and added a '-P Queuename'.
Is there an equivelent to this in the Reader7.0 environment?
TIA,
Tom

Unfortunately, that doesn't cover requirements.
This is an environment where I need to configure the printer for the user every time prior to starting the browser. The users are on a thin client; when the client reboots (nightly) any saved configuration is wiped out.
I need to set the 'user defaults' for each user, on each workstation, every time the software (Firefox, Acrobat Reader, etc) is launched.
The defaults are not stored on the client system -- they are saved on a network accessible server. Using a shell script, a base configuration downloaded from the network server, and based on various criteria, (location, username, client ID, ... ), various defaults get set every time the workstation boots.

  • Acrobat Reader for 64bit Linux is needed

    64bit Linux is becoming more prevalent due to the 64bit machines being created now a days.  Why isn't the 64bit Adobe Acrobat Reader available for Linux?

    The 32 bit .deb file does not install on 64 bit ubuntu systems.  Let me know
    if there is a trick to getting the 32 bit .deb file to install on 64 bit
    systems.
    Why was the 64 bit Acrobat created for Windows 7?  The reasons would be the
    same for Linux.  The 64 bit Acrobat would allow working with very large pdf
    files.

  • 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!

  • How can I set the default print settings of my document as color.  I want the default print setting to be color when someone opens a document.  similar to duplex print preset is there a color print preset?

    How can I set the default print settings of my document as color.  I want the default print setting to be color when someone opens a document.  similar to duplex print preset is there a color print preset?

    Hi,
    Try saving your settings as a Preset by clicking the Preset drop down and then select Save Current Settings as a Preset.
    Next try changing the settings by selecting the saved preset.
    That allow saving the settings for a specific printer, I assume it may also allow selecting these settings for another printer.

  • Acrobat Reader 8 Will Not Default to Double Sided / Duplex Printing In Linux

    Acrobat Reader for Linux 8.1.2 seems to always default to single sided printing regardless of the system default. In order to save trees, toner, the environment and money, it would be nice if it would default to the system's default.
    > The default printing command is something like:
    > lpr -P printer_name -o InputSlot=Middle -o OutputBin=PrinterDefault -o Resolution=300x300dpi -o PageSize=Letter -o Duplex=None
    > Requiring the user to select double sided printing every time they print. This changes the command to:
    > lpr ... Duplex=DuplexNoTumble
    > It would be nice if the default setting was:
    > lpr ... Duplex=PrinterDefault
    > So that users could still choose but platform administrators could set the default in /etc/cups/lpoptions Unfortunately, most people will simply not print double-sided unless its the default.

  • 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

  • Acrobat Reader does not recognise my printer

    Hello,
    When I attempt to print a pdf document from adobe reader, my printer is not listed in the dropdown list of available printers.  I am therefore unable to print anything.  This issue only occurs with acrobat reader, all other windows applications recognise the printer and print fine.  The printer is connected via wifi.
    I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the printer and the drivers, as well as acrobat reader.  I have restarted my computer.  The issue still persists.
    My system information is as follows:
    Windows 8 64 bit pc
    Epson WF-7515 with the latest drivers
    Acrobat reader version 11.0.0
    Any solutions are much appreciated
    Regards

    I have the same problem. My Brother HL-1430 over USB connected to my Airport Express works perfectly. But via Time Capsule no way. I did all the deletion, re-install etc., but no success. I think the Time Capsule has still some problems to solve. What I did now:
    I have connected my Airport Express via Ethernet (bridge mode) to my Time Capsule. I have my stereo and USB printer connected to Airport Express. My TC connects to the Internet. In addition I have an additional USB HD connected to TC for TC archiving and file sharing.
    My MacBook connects to TC only. Now all works fine. I can use everything together at the same time (Internet, printing, music streaming, TimeMachine) without even having dropping bits when streaming sound in parallel.
    Here I must say, that I would have long expected Apple to finally include Air Tunes into its base stations and TC. It's a bit of a joke that you still need to buy an additional Airport Express just to stream your music. Here marketing and product positioning at Apple goes too far and harms the concept of an easy and integrated solution.

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 PDF Writer replaces default printer

    I have tried to look this up but no one seems to have a definitive answer for this problem. First let me explain my organization's set-up and what the problem is.
    I work for a high school with several PC's running a mix of Windows 7 and Windows XP in our network. We have several computer labs (all of the labs are running Windows 7 Pro 32-bit). Our network administrator has set the default network printer for each lab in Group Policy. Our server is running Windows 2008 Server R2. Our labs have Adobe Design Suite CS4 (with Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.4). 
    The problem? When students log on to the computers, the default printer gets changed from the network printer that it should be to the Adobe PDF Writer. I have been unable to find a solution to this problem anywhere. What I need to know first of all is what type of problem is this? Is there a setting somewhere that I can change to turn it off? Is it in Group Policy? Is it in Adobe Acrobat? Someone on another forum even suggested it might be a Microsoft Word problem. Is Word the program that changes the default? Is it something else?
    PLEASE if anyone has a solution to this problem let me know! We're wracking our brains over here.
    Thanks!

  • 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?

  • Default Printer setting for 2600n causing spinning flashing cirlce cursor in MS Word 2007

    Printer drivers for HP2600n are causing spinning and blinking curor in MS Word 2007.  I couldn't print in IE9 due to script errors.  HP Help said to uninstall and reinstall printer.  After reinstalling, I can print in IE9, but now MSWord 2007 has a blinking, spinning, flashing circle on top of the curor.  It's maddening and I can't edit.  I've run all the "fixes" for MS and Word to no avail.
    I've scoured the web to find it's the "default printer" causing the problems.  I had to delect the HP as default, and then the spinning circle goes away.   But... when I manually select the HP to print within a Word doc, it re-activites the crazy cursor and I must close the doc.
    I'm using 32bit Vista, Windows Office 2007, IE9, HP 2600n
    Do you have a fix or a patch?  Many thanks to a kind person for a solution!
