Wrong default printer crashes program

Using PSE 9. When printing it selects an old printer that is no longer available. When I select the correct printer the program crashes. How do I reset the default printer? I've un-installed and re-installed with no solution. Computer is a PC running Windows 7 Professional.

Printer works with all other apps. I have been able to print with an earlier version of PSE (4.0), but just upgraded to v9. It's not the printer ... printer works just fine. PSE posts the following error when I switch to the correct printer then back to the initial selection (which no longer exists):
"could not complete your request because an error occurred while printing". It did just occur to me that I'm connected to the printer through the router, to which the printer is also connected ... I guess it's possible that I need to be USB connected to the printer for PSE to sort it out ... but that's not very logical.
BTW, I'm a computer tech and have been since 1983, so when I have a problem ... it's typically a real PROBLEM in capital letters, if you know what I mean. All the easy stuff has long since been tried. Thanks for the suggestions.

IPrint Policy - Wrong Default Printer

Hey all,
Just wondering if you've seen this behavior before.
We have three iPrint printers assigned through an iPrint policy (Printer A, B, C) that are all the same make/model.
Printer A is set as the default.
We added a new iPrint object to the policy for a fourth printer, which is a different model than the rest, and that printer is now the default on the workstation(s) even though we did not check the box to make it so.
Environment:
Windows 7 Enterprise x86
Novell Client 2.0 SP1 (IR8)
ZCM 10.3.0
iPrint Client 5.3.0.0
Ideas?
Jacob

Well, we have a temporary solution that may go into place soon depending on management approval - a ZCM system tray icon with a recognizable icon that uses iprintcmd to add the color printer temporarily for the currently logged in user. This still doesn't fix the issue of ZCM iPrint policies not working like they should...

Default printer during printout program

hi guys,
how does system get the default printer for report printout if the su01 for default printer field is empty

HI Balu,
the program uses FM BP_JOBVARIANT_SCHEDULE to submit background job.
For user A , it always set the default printer to LPO3 even SU01 sets to NWO5,
while user B can get the correct printer NWO5 as per its SU01 setting.. how come both users can get different printer from the same program .
Initially i thought it depends on SU01 , but even user A has changed its default printer to NWO5, still system will take LPO3.. plz advice

Program only prints to postscript even though default printer is showing

Does anyone know how to "undo" a program or application from printing to postscript vs. the default printer. i believe i did this (in reverse) by accident in the GO To file, while trying to load my printer manually.
as well, all of my children's games that have printer applications (for coloring pages and so forth) won't print, even though the printer is set up on the mac.

Try Reset Printing System - you then need to re-add the printer in Print & Fax prefs:

JVM crashes when selecting non-default printer in ReportViewer in NATIVE dialog.

On ReportViewer frame i have the print button active. If i click the print button (Native dialog) and select a printer other than default printer, the JVM crashes. Any idea how to fix it?
Thanks

I wanted to provide little history of what I am trying to achieve. Currently, I have the following code:
PrinterJob printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
        if (printJob.printDialog()) {
            String printerName = printJob.getPrintService().getName();
            String printJobName = printJob.getJobName();
            PrintReportOptions printOptions = redirectPrinter(printerName, printJobName);
            sendReportOutputAndClose(reportClientDoc, printOptions);
I want to capture the number of copies user selects from the dialog. When I do printJob.getCopies(), it always returns 1. Not sure how to get that # of copies user selected. I also wanted to the dialog to be in Native mode because I don't want to give access to modify Margins and other page properties which are part of COMMON dialog mode. If I create the dialog printJobAttribute.setDialog(JobAttributes.DialogType.NATIVE); then VM crashes when selecting a non-default printer but I am able to get the number of copies. The key is I need to use NATIVE dialog and get the number of copies. One option is to display in COMMON dialog mode and then hide the "Page Setup" and "Appearance" tabs. Can this be done ? I am new to Java and Crystal so any suggestions would help.

Wireless Printer Sharing Crashes Programs

I have a wireless network at home, with two Macbooks and a G5 connected to an HP 8200 Photosmart printer. The printer is shared, and my old G4 powerbook and iBook can print to them without issue. On the MacBooks, I can see the shared printer in the Print Dialog, but if I select one, I get the spinning pinwheel for about 30 seconds, and then the application suddenly quits. This has happened with several different applications.
I have tried the following:
* rebooting
* repairing permissions
* attempting to print from a "clean" test user account
* using Printer Setup Repair to completely reset the printing system
I called Apple today and after an hour on the phone with the woman, we got disconnected. We established that my Macbook can print on my HP 8200 Photosmart printer both when directly connected and, weirdly, just the once over my appletalk network. Otherwise, every program just crashes when I go to print. Very irritating and it happens on both of my Macbooks. If anyone out there has a solution, I'd love to hear it

I have a fix for the MacBook print button crashing
application programs.
You need to trash the existing HP printer folder (in
applications folder) and delete the printer profile
in the System Preferences/Print & Fax.
Once the old stuff is deleted, go to hp.com and
download and install the latest driver and/or
software and driver applications.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?lc=en&
cc=us〈=en&product=441245&dlc=en&os=219
The issue is the latest driver is coded Mac Universal
which works with the Intel architecture in the MB.
This fixed my print crashes. I have a HP 2570 series
all-in-one printer connected via AirPort.
For those of you not using HP printers, go to your
printer manufacturer's web site and check latest
driver availalbe for your printer. Most likely they
will have a newer MB compatible driver.
Good Luck!
Black Macbook, iMac G4, iBook G3,
Grape iMac, Mac 6100 Mac OS X (10.4.2)
I tried it. Deleted the HP stuff and the hp stuff in my Library/Printers folder. Installed the drivers from the HP website. Everything still crashes. Anyone else with an idea?

Setting default printer reverts back to old printer on reboot

Using Windows XP and my HP Officejet Pro 8000, I can set in as my default printer and the next time I boot the computer it shows my old 5600 printer. Any suggestions?

I think I solved the problem. Apparently the HP Digital Imaging program (hpotddo1.exe) will lock the computers printer selection onto one printer. In my case it was the wrong printer. By disabling the program, my computer will now accept the default designation and stay on it through reboots. !! RodCart

Set default printer in Photoshop CS4

I'm a long-time Photoshop user (since Photoshop 3), upgraded to CS4 many months ago, and just updated my printer. It is one of these all-in-one jobs that prints, copies, and faxes. It has two printer device drivers: one for normal printing and one for the fax function. The problem is (I think) that it seems to default in Photoshop to the fax function. Therefore, when I try to print out a 4x6 photo @ 200ppi, it still defaults to 8 1/2 x 11 format (that you would get with a fax machine).
In CS4, from the main menu, File > Print. In the pop-up it says 8.5 ins x 11in. I checked [X] Scale to fit Media, and now it says print resolution 109ppi (yikes ... I wanted 200ppi). "Bounding Box" was checked as a default, so I left it checked (what is that, anyway)? The 8.5 x 11 does not go away. Clicked [Print].
A Print menu pops up. It says, for some strange reason, HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909g Series fax ... yikes ... in last screen it didn't say fax, so I selected the 8500 option without fax (presume that is the printer). Clecked Preferences, and got "Printing Preferences" popup. My default printing shortcut was selected (which is for mornal B&W draft-quality text) -- so I checked Photo Printing-Borderles. Paper size defaluted to Borderless 4x6in, HP Advanced Photo Papers, Best Quality, grayscale off, and changed orientation from landscape to Portrait. Under "Features" Basic Options were HP Advanced Photo Papers, Best Quality, Portrait (instead of Landscape) ... paper size was set to Borderless 4x6in. Print in Color. Clicked OK. That closed the Popup and returned me to the Print panel. Clicked "Print"
Got a 1.25" wide by 2" high print ... NOT a 4x6.
As I dig down into the menus, it appears to be initially defaulting to the "FAX" drivers for CS4, not the printer drivers. That's probably why it keeps coming up 8 1/2 x 11 at 109ppi.
What did I do wrong?
Thanks !!

Photoshop CS4 uses an old (introduced in Win16?) printing API that limits the printer name length to 30 or 31 characters. With your printer name, that gets you halfway into "Series" and anything past that will be ignored.
The simple solution is to rename your printer to something shorter. Go into the control panel, printers and faxes, and right-click on the printer and choose "Rename" and rename the printer. That should resolve the problem.

Default printer settings for HP Deskjet 882c

All I want to do is set this printer to print in black and white by default. If I wanted color, I would use my other printer ... I want faster than a snails pace so I brought this one back out.
Being a PC for my entire life, this should be an easy thing to set the default print settings on the printer. I don't see them!
What I am printing is emails off hotmail ... tons of them ... going back months ... so please don't ask me to add an additional step here ...
Pulling my hair out here ... help would be lovely!

You are on the right track for sure. The claim code is in fact printed in blue, so if your color inks are low or empty it will not show up.
I noticed there are 2 version of the 6500A, I will go under the assumption that you do not have the 'Plus' version since you didn't specify this, shouldn't be a big discrepancy either way (let me know if I am wrong).
Viewing your ink levels is covered here, your Cyan ink cartridge could be empty : http://goo.gl/RjIhbp
You can still find the claim code on the front panel of your printer without color ink. Go back to web services on your printers display and it will show your "*@hpeprint.com" email address. The prefix before the "@" is in fact your code.
Also note that your code has most likely expired, which happens after 24 hours of being generated. Not a big deal. If your code has expired you will have to reset the web services in your printer, this will generate a new printer code. You can do this easily from the front panel of your printer.
Follow this link and expand the section “What if I lose my printer code before registering?” under “Frequently asked questions (FAQs)”
http://goo.gl/0WUyIe
(*a note on step 4, some firmware updates may have simplified this entire step to be simply “remove web services”)
After enabling the web services again the printer code area will still be blank if you are out of cyan ink.
Regardless the new code will display on the front panel (under web services).
I hope this gets you going with ePrint. Let me know if you are having issues printing in color beyond this, or if you are still experiencing difficulties with ePrint.

Set default printer in free Reader app for Windows 8?

Is it possible to set a default printer for the free Reader app? We're new to Windows 8. We set our HP as the default printer in the windows control panel, and the setting works for our other programs like word and IE, but the Reader app forces us to choose the HP printer every time we try to print a doc. We have to click the More options and choose the printer from the list. OneNote and the MS Document writer come up first in the list, and we don't use either of these.

Wrong default layout for a new customer

Hi all,
I hope somebody can share inputs with regards to this issue.
I'm assigning a default layout to one customer group (layout1 for all Group1). When this was done, a list of customer codes were included in the list and each were ticked from that list.
Second layout called layout2 for the setting 'Set &as Default for all BPs (for Whom a Default Layout Has Not Been Assigned).
Scenario: A new customer code is created belonging to Group1.
Issues:
            a. This new customer code does not automatically follow the setting on default layout which is layout1. When the layout1 default setting was double
                 checked, the new customer code was part of the list, but it was not ticked.
            b. When document was previewed, it uses the wrong layout2.
            c.   The user still has to update the layout1 default setting, ticking the tick box from the list for the new customer code, then clicking update in then
                  layout designer window.
Question: Is this a normal behaviour of the system? I thought that setting it as default for certain customer group will be applicable even to newly created ones under that group.
Regards,
Cathy

Is there a way to print a pdf to a pdf without changing your default printer?

With the recent Adobe update (current version Adobe Pro XI Pro (1637-0001) 11.0.00), there were some changes that have caused a program my company uses to distort all or part of a pdf once it has been imported. We have found a work around. However, the work around is now becoming time consuming with the amount of files we deal with on a daily basis. Is there a way to print a pdf to a pdf without changing the default printer to the Adobe printer? (this is our work around solution).
Thanks!

For what you are trying to do, probably not. You have to open Acrobat and go to the print menu to select the Adobe PDF printer if it is not the default. The only possibility that I can think of (you will have to try it to tell if that is the case) is to drag the PDF to the Adobe PDF printer and see if it prints. This used to work, but I just tried it in Win7 and it did not do the job.
