Why does my Mac not allow me to use my own printing preferences? Windows does.

I have a new Mac and have found to my dismay that I can no longer have any control over what type of paper I want to print on, along with many other printing preferences that I want to have control over as I did with my Windows Computer. Therefore, I am at the mercy of my computer or printer to figure out what kind of paper I am using...which is ridiculous, as that is impossible. Needless to say, many of my photos that I am trying to print on different papers, are printing out all kinds of crazy ways. I am using my same printer than I used with my Windows computer....the Epson Artisan 810 Photo Printer. I am a very serious photo printer person and I want my control back. What is the problem here and when will it be corrected?  Thanks for any help that anyone can offer me.  

Hi ,
Go to System preference > Printers & Scanner
select your printer and change its default print paper .
If you want to change more settings .
1) Open any image in PSE EDITOR.
2) Go to Print.
3) Select your printer  Click on Print button w/o changing the size and other things.
4) save the settings in this window.

  • Why is my phone not allowing me to use FaceTime or iMessage using my Apple ID instead of my number?

    I recently suspended my service with Verizon due to deployment and I looked forward to using FaceTime and iMessage through my email account. However, my phone will not allow me to. The pop up says "Could not sign in. Please check your network connections and try again". I don't know what the problem is? Is it because of my location? Or my service suspension? Help, please!

  • Why is my Mac not allowing me to browse Search Engines?

    Folks,
    Over the past two days I can no longer hit a search engine webpage (yahoo, bing, google is all I have tried) directly from any browser Safari, FireFox, Chrome in the URL field on my Macbook running OSX 10.8.4. I haven't changed any network settings either on my router or macbook to cause this change. The odd time a search will load in google through the browser, but when I try and click a link in the results it will not load the link.
    I've also tried resetting the modem and router a few times, no issues with internet service to the house, also tried my cell phone and MacMini which have no issues visiting the sites above.
    Driving me nuts, as I get my work done on my Macbook.
    Anybody know why?
    Thanks!

    Try one of the common troubleshooting step.
    Start up in Safe Mode.

    What is your iPhoto version?
    For Photo Stream you will need at least iPhoto 9.2.1 for compatability with iCloud. Are you still running iPhoto 8?

  • When I replaced my PC desktop with a Mac Mini and hooked up my HP printer to it, I discovered my other computers on the Wi-Fi network could no longer access the printer.  The manual says Maverick OS will not allow PC's to access the printer. Any thoughts?

    When I replaced my PC desktop with a Mac Mini and hooked up my HP printer to it, I discovered that my other computers on the Wi-Fi network could no longer access the printer.  The manual says Maverick OS will not allow PC's to share the printer. Does anyone else have this problem?  My printer does not have on-board Wi-Fi but, otherwise, works fine.  I shouldn't have to buy a new one.  Is there a OS patch out there that would open the printer port for my PC computers?

    I'm assuming that on the Mac, the System Preferences -> Sharing -> Printer Sharing -> [X] HP printer -> Everyone can print is selected?  That is to say, the Mac will allow anyone to print using the printer, and that you did not try to restrict who can print.
    How is your network configured?  Bonjour as a protocol will NOT cross a router boundary.  If you have 2 or more subnets active with the PCs on one subnet and the Mac on another, that would block the PCs from seeing the Mac.
    You could have multiple subnets if you have more than one router, such as an ISP provided broadband modem/router and another WiFi Router.  If the PCs are talking to one router and the Mac is talking to another, that could be a 2 subnet situation.  The additional routers must be put into bridge mode, which is done differently depending on the router.  But the basics are to diable DHCP and NAT services on the secondary router(s) having just one active router on the network.
    Also, using Bonjour Browser on my Mac, it is showing me that the printer is being advertised as using Internet Printing Protocol, so if that is something selectable on Windows, maybe you can bypass Bonjour on Windows.

    Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
    My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
    They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
    However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
    I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
    Anyways I digress.
    So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
    At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
    All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.
    Answers in a postcard :-)
    Much love

    I don't have a problem viewing my purchase history.  I have a problem getting support pages to work.  Every time I go to get support, ie: reporting a problem with a downloaded song, my Internet Explorer 11 displays a message from the iTunes website that says I much have the latest version of Mozila, Firefox or Internet Explorer to use the support pages.  Having met these requirements, why no can use support pages?

  • HT1338 Why will my mac not do a software update

    Why will my mac not do a software update

    Is there any error message provided that indicated why the update fails?
    E.g. "An unexpected error occured" Anythng like that?
    These messages provide guidance for people offering assistance so that it is targetted and appropriate.
    Someone might suggest pulling a plist like /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist but if the issue is insufficient space on the Macintosh HD or an error connecting to the Update Server or a security certificate error the removal of the plist would be pointless.

  • I have a full Team subscription to Creative Cloud, but type kit does not allow me to use some fonts. Do I have to pay extra to have more fonts available to me?

    I have a full Team subscription to Creative Cloud, but type kit does not allow me to use some fonts. Do I have to pay extra to have more fonts available to me?

    Hi drewacg,
    I'm sorry that you ran into trouble with this.  Are you the administrative contact on your Creative Cloud team subscription?  The admin user doesn't receive the same set of services as a full seat, so you will have a Typekit Trial plan instead of the Portfolio plan.
    You have the option of upgrading to the Portfolio level, though. If you would like to do that:
    1) sign in at https://typekit.com/login with your Adobe ID and password
    2) visit typekit.com/plans, and select the "upgrade" option underneath Portfolio
    Your Typekit plan upgrade will be billed separately from your Creative Cloud payments. The Portfolio plan is $49.99/year.
    I hope that this helps!  If you have any questions, please feel free to send your Adobe ID information to [email protected] and we can look into it further for you. Best,
    -- liz

  • Jobs, why iOS downgrade is not allowed?

    Why iOS downgrade is not allowed?
    Recently I upgraded iPad to 4.3.3 from 3.2.2 with these bugs:
    - Html font size is not supported for movie title.
    - Photo album name is not the date when importing the pictures by camera tool kit
    - Portable AP (connect to LAN port) is not able to connect any more.
    Then I try to perform the downgrade to 3.2.2, but unfortunately iTunes doesn't like me to do that.
    Jobs, may I ask you why you don't let your iOS users to choose any version they like even they don't have the JB intention.

    Steve Jobs doesn't read this forum. Nobody here can answer why Apple has this policy.
