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.

  • Trouble creating personal url and disabling color management in the printer preference dialog

    I just purchased a new Canon Pro 9000 MKII which came with a new copy of Photoshop Elements 8. I registered the software and created a username and password successfully, but I am unable to created a personal URL for starting an online gallery. I keep getting error messages everytime I try. One message is that name is taken and the other simply says there is an error.
    Second problem is when I try to print from Edit in Photoshop Elements 8 there is a message that states: " did you remember to disable color management in the printer preference dialog?" It is unclear to me how this can be done.
    Any help with these two issues would be greatly appreciated
    Thank  you.

      Log in to the web page and try some different characters e.g.
    green_11david_Y1973.photoshop.com
    In the print dialog you need to click More Options and choose printer manages color if you want to use your printer/paper profile.
     

  • Where is the Print Settings Dialog?

    Hello everyone,
    I was trying to print sheet music from my Sibelius application. It would not print the final bar. I changed the black ink on my Canon i850 and updated the driver. Still the final bar would not print.
    I posted my issue on the Sibelius discussion site and was told to open the File>Print dialog, go to the Print Settings dialog, then set "substitute resolution" to 300, if I am using Mac OS 10.4.
    I am using Mac OS 10.4.6. I tried to follow the instructions but I couldn't because I could not find a Print Settings dialog.
    How can I find 'Substitute resolution' in my computer?

    Hi there,
    When you click File you should have 'Page Setup' and 'Print' as menu options.
    If you select 'Print' you will see the print dialog window. If you do not see a menu that is defaulted to 'Copies & Pages', then the application may have what is called a Simplified Print dialog, similar to what you get with Preview. But you should have an option to select Advanced, which will open the normal print window. Here you should be able to select your resolution, depending on which driver you are using for the i850.
    The other thing I would check is File > Page Setup. If the sheet is set to A4 but your printed page is set to Letter, then you can loose about 20mm (which is close to an inch) from the bottom of the print (FYI - A4 is 297mm long while Letter is 279mm).
    Regards,
    Paul

  • 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.

  • How do i change the printer preferences

    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?

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus Where is the print preview???

    I just purchased HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus all in one printer.  Where is the print preview option.  It's no longer on "preference" or anywhere else. 

    Since HP isn't answering me on the 'Print Preview' being available soon or which HP printers software actally HAVE the 'print preview' function enabled... I did some searching and I found a partial answer to the 'print preview' delema.  The web site http://www.obviousidea.com/windows-software/greencloud-printer/
    has a free program called GreenCloudPrinter which, in a nut shell, will install a printer called GreenCloud which set itself up as the default printer and any file that is sent to the printer gets directed to the GreenCloud device which will then bring up a 'print preview' screen with options to remove blank pages and or print or not print the preview!  And a lot of other functions too.  Works great and it's free.  You do have to register it and a registration code is emailed to you to unlock the program. I hope that helps you out... worked for me.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 Wireless - Where are the printing shortcuts?????

    HP Officejet Pro 8600 Wireless Printer
    Windows 7
    Where are the printing shortcuts?????
    I just replaced a canon printer that died that had the concept of PROFILES, so that I could setup a PROFILE for each type of printing, i.e. 4X6 photos/documents/5X7 photos.  So it was easy for our family to print, they would pick each setting.
    Now with latest driver for 8600 there are NO way to save a set of settings for a printer.   I have seen some old discussions on this but I just can't believe HP doesn't have this type of functionality in their drivers.  I don't need the ePrint and all the other bogus stuff installed with the 8600 driver, but I DO NEED the ability to save different sets of printing options so I don't have to remember, borderless or not, landscape or not, etc and keep wasting photo paper/ink/regular paper with incorrect options.
    Here is another posting with similar points -> Customers are NOT getting full print functionality.  We don't care about the extra software, it is minimal.  Full functionality includes the ability to create profiles for different printing situations so that the user can easily choose that profile (and therefore all the myriad settings for that profile).  What HP has done is give us ONE profile, essentially, and every time you want to do something different, you have to change that ONE profile.  How is that helping?
    As I said, if I want to switch from a normal printing job (e-mail, web page, etc.) which uses my ONE setting, and then want to print a 4x6 photo, I have to remember to change at least 6 different settings.  With the shortcut, I would select my "borderless photo" shortcut, and it would automatically switch paper trays, size, color, quality, you name it.  Now you force me to change that each and every time.
    If someone can explain why this is considered full functionality I would be extremely grateful.

    Hello,
    I am sorry you are having trouble with your print experience.
    I am going to make some assumptions here, which could be wrong in your case, but might help others.  Since you mention printing from Windows7 and ePrint in the same thread, can I assume you are trying to print using the HP ePrint driver for windows (www.hp.com/go/eprintsoftware) ?  The ePrint driver also comes preinstalled on all HP laptops and pcs now, so maybe you made a recent pc purchase and therefore have the ePrint driver installed?
    The goal of the ePrint windows driver currently has a lot less to do with providing the hundreds of print features and settings that the full featured, product specific print drivers provide.  The goal is to enable customers to be able to print to any recent or new HP printer through a number of different connection paths from a single installed print driver / print queue.  Once the ePrint driver is installed, printing with that driver will dynamically find direct network printers, cloud enabled printers, public print locations, direct wireless printers, etc., and create the correct print format depending on the print path taken.  If the printer is ePrint cloud enabled and has a good internet connection, the printer and the pc do not have to be in the same location.  For example, you can print from home to your printer at work.  You can send photos of the kids to your mom's printer in another state, etc.  The ePrint solution is also good for the traveling worker who just wants to send the occasional print job to the nearest network or wireless direct printer without having to find and install another print driver for each new printer.  One driver, one queue and you can print to any recent or new HP printer.
    The ePrint driver has a few important print settings that customers may want to use (copies, duplex, grayscale, etc).  More may be added over time depending on demand.
    BTW, because the ePrint driver does not have a ton of print settings to handle, the rendering of print jobs is as simple and efficient as possible and should not bog down your pc.
    If you want all the bells and whistles in the print driver experience and just want to print to a single printer you can download and install the product specific print driver from hp.com  
    I hope that helps out a few people who may be wondering what the purpose of ePrint is!!
    Good luck.
    I am an HP employee, but these are my own thoughts and suggestions

  • The Where in the save as dialog box

    The Where in the save as dialog box is frustratingly limiting is there a way to change this so I can browse to the folder I want?

    I recommend you get Default Folder.   I've considered it a must have utility for my systems since OS9 Classic days.  It greatly helps in navigation for the ever deficient file dialogs in OSX (and OS9).

  • Help, where are the render preferences in Adobe Photoshop CS6

    Okay, I admitt, .... I am an idiot that is new to Adobe Photoshop.
    But help the new girl out, here.... Please...
    Where are the render preferences in Adobe Photoshop Extended CS6.
    I searched Adobe Help in Dutch already but they point me towards options that doesn't excist.
    Maybe they were there in Adobe CS5 and I am reading an older version of the documentation...
    But in CS6 I can only find the option Render and no Render Preferences...
    Thanks !!

    Adobe changed the way video is rendered in CS6. Adobe Media Encoder in now used in CS6 only a subset of the Adobe's full Adobe Media Encoder is included in CS6 is a dll. I do not think you can add new Rendering Presets however you can change some setting when you use the supplied Reddening Presets.  Perhaps if you have the Adobe suite and have the full Adobe Media Encoder you can create some presets and add them to Photoshop Rendering presets.  I seem some compliants about CS6 Quicktime rendering presets lack the power of CS5.  The Rendering presets seem to be stored in sub folders in "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Presets\Video\Adobe Media Encoder" and "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Presets\Video\Adobe Media Encoder"

  • Where in the System Preferences do I increase the computer screen text size

    Where in the System Preferences do I increase the computer screen text size

    What you need to change is Screen Resolution.
    You can change the screen resolution in System Preferences / Displays. On that pane you will see numbers like 1440 x 900. The larger the numbers the smaller the text on the screen. (The current setting is shown in grey.) Just experiment with other resolutions til you find one that suits you. You want to move down in the options to increase the size of the displayed text.
    When you select a new resolution, you have to confirm that it's what you want, else the computer will revert to the previous resolution.

  • Where did the print setting "Rewrap message to fit" go in Mail 7?

    All text prints too small. Settings for font size haven't changed and the emails print out much smaller than the view settings.
    I don't see the options for "Rewrap message to fit" or "Keep fonts the same size".
    Suggestions?

    I have the same problem. Text and the info with the "To" header all prints very small. I also cannot find the controls described. Just updated to Mavericks, never had problem before this. Same printer, and problem also occurs on another different model printer I tried for a test.

  • Can we save the printing preference of FR reporting per report per user?

    We are using Hyperion Planning and Financial Reporting version 11.1.1.1. Some of our users will generate PDF for printing (HTML format is badly printed out).
    However can we have the option to save the printing preference of each FR report? As some reports are in portrait and some are in landscape format, it is preferred users can setup the printing preference per user per report so that they can choose the paper size and printing orientation.
    Thanks in advance!

    OK; should this be submitted to http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter/?
    I'm unsure about the best setup for this, but here is some brainstorming:
    - In Workgroup Manager or Directory, an administrator can designate a user to 'auto-accept' invitations if the user is available at that time.
    - Ideally, one would be able to establish an ACL for auto-acceptance, so that a user or admin could designate a list of users/groups from whom a user should auto-accept invites.
    - If a user is set to auto-accept, it is reasonable to assume that this user is either unable to use iCal or does not regularly check their calendar, so invites that are not auto-accepted should be handled somehow. For example, a notification could be e-mailed to the user, an invitation accept/decline message could be sent to the iCal account of a designated administrator or delegate, etc.
    I am imagining this for the case of my division, in which we have one person scheduling for lots of people, but I think that the idea of being able to delegate a person to be able to add things to one's calendar without confirmation and to confirm invites from non-privileged users would be useful in other cases as well. For example, a boss wants an administrator/secretary to be able to schedule things on his/her calendar, but does not want this person to be able to see all of the details of existing items on that calendar. I suppose that in this case it would be unclear to which calendar the designate should add the event initially, but I'm sure that for many people the privacy of the boss's calendar is more important than the inconvenience of having to create a throwaway calendar for events created by the delegate.
    If anyone has any thoughts to help refine this, please let me know and I will incorporate that into my writeup.
    Thanks,
    Greg
