Zebra Printer Settings Change

I'm printing a label using XML Publisher and CUPS to a Zebra 6MPlus printer. For some reason the 'Print Mode' setting on the printer gets changed from 'TEAR OFF' to 'CUTTER' causing a problem when trying to tear off the labels. The default on the Zebra printer is 'TEAR OFF', and the properties on the printer are also 'TEAR OFF'. Any ideas on how or why this is happening?

Hi BigRedEO,
Thank you for posting on the forums. This seems more like a printer issue as it is not retaining the settings.
Kindly try updating the drivers for the printer and check.
Thanks,

Printer Settings change when switching between printers

First time in the forum, so please be gentle. I know little about Adobe.
I am working with Windows XP (SP 2) machines (I know - should be at least on Windows 7, but can't change what my company has) and have Adobe Reader 8.1.2. We have run into a "bug" of sorts.
Many of our locations (these are PCs all off-site) print labels (pdfs) with a Zebra brand printer where the labels are 2.25 by 4.00 inches. The Zebra printers are always attached directly to the PCs where they create these labels. Sometimes, they want to send the labels to a Lexmark printer that is attached at a Primary Server elsewhere. When they do that, they make sure to choose "Fit To Printable Area" under Page Scaling when the Print Box comes up so that the 2.25x4.00 label is enlarged to fit on 8.5x11 inch paper. The problem we run into is that right now, the default settings for these Zebra printers is 2x3 inches and Portrait. We need them to be 2.25x4 and Landscape. The user makes those settings changes and saves them and it used to be those settings hold once they save them. We also have to change our Lexmark settings to "Letter - 8.5x11", otherwise it defaults to "Custom-4.88x21". Recently, there's been this bug where if they save the settings for Zebra, print something, it's fine. They switch to Lexmark, print to it with "Fit to Printable Area" it's also fine. When they go back to the Zebra printer, suddenly the saved settings are gone and it's back to default.
This also is happening in the reverse - if the user usually uses the Lexmark, but switches once to the Zebra, then back to the Lexmark, the settings have defaulted again. Someone here said they remember seeing something like this before in regards to Adobe Reader. Does anyone have any ideas?
PS - I am creating a new image which will have the correct default settings for our needs so that hopefully this will not be an issue in the future.

Print settings change in Win7 64bit.

My wifes computer a dell quad core. Running win7 64 bit. We have an MG8120. I can set the print settings paper size, orientation, business or personal... I come back to those settings a day later and they are changed. Even though I set the always print with these settings! I need to find what is changing the settings.

Hi congaman59,
Are you saving the print settings from within a program on your computer, or from within the printer driver?

Printer settings changed after upgrade to 10.8

just upgraded from 10.6 to 10.8
In 10.6 I was able to have my Canon ix4000 printer print in black only, or saver mode etc (in the pics below this gets set up after you click one of the options). These options seem to have all disappeared in 10.8.
Does anybody know how to get this going again?
here the window options I have in 10.8
and here in 10.6
No need to say I loaded the latest driver from the Canon site.

Office 2010 Ignores Printer Settings

I've seen this problem posted other places with no real resolution presented. - Here it is -
Ever since installing office 2010 I have several end users / customers that are unable to successfully keep print settings changed in Office 2010. The settings in office 2010 themselves work fine, but if you try to change the printer properties they
get reset as soon as you change them. An example is network MFPs that are set to B/W by default. The customer changes to color on the printer properties, but word and excel seem to ignore those settings. Acutally worse than ignore they reset
them to the default properties for the printer. If you click on the properites, change them, click ok - then before printing I click on the properties again and they have already been reset. This is a big issue for several customers - they need
to access the properties to set to color, change other settings, or use shortcut items for specific types of document printing.
Also, the problem didn't exist until they installed office 2010. They can print successfully from any other application with the ability to change any settings needed.

Hello all,
I think I may have a solution for your problem. The actual problem exists in office 2003 and was an easy fix but I have been ratting my brains since I started doing tech support for MFD finding in office 2010, I would see the problem know the solution but
not be able to find the properties in office seeing they move them. A client would click on print select tray 2 or options and office would seem to ignore it. My work around was to get them to print to PDF then print there item selecting the print options
they wanted through print driver properties.
In 2003 office you click File ---> Page Setup ----> then click the paper tab page and depending on your printer you will get options like
Default Print settings
Auto
Tray 1
Tray 2 etc
and a paper drop down box A4 A3 etc. This was a real problem as if it was on A4 and they where trying to print a3 selecting it through the print driver the MFD would ask for A4 paper instead of A3.
Ok so in 2007 2010 office this is where the options are causing the problem I only found it on thursday and as I dont have 2010 office at home I will have to double check these menu options when I am at another client but I should get it close enough for
you to find.
Click OFFICE icon in office word go to print, there is a rectagular box I believe it was called WORD OPTIONS or Office Options. next there is a lot of tab options, Advance is the one you want. Click on ADVANCE. Scroll right down and you will see
print and copy options.
Here you will see you overiding options
and it will be based on the print driver you have selected
Default Printer Options (Usually the one it is on) but I believe auto is what you want.
Auto
Tray 1
Tray 2 etc
Also there is a few check box options I have not played with yet but one that caught my eye that was checked was along the lines of Shrink all print to A4 I would un check this.
So this is where you problem should be solved. Please keep in mind they I only just found this out so I do need to play around with the options a little more to understand there full affect but I think what I said is pretty accurate. I will re post and edit
if I find other wise.
Something else to note. I believe having the Default Printer Options selected is the main problem. I believe this means if you are in office and you click print ---> print properties and select all the options you want it does not mean a damm,
because these word options under page setup(2003) and Advanced (2010) actually grabs the print drivers default setting i.e start ----> Control panel ----> printers and device then what ever options are set there will overide all other options you set
in the print driver from word.
I have only played with this on 2010 in word, did not check if the options are there for excel and access but I guessing its standard. Have fun let me know how you go.

Print settings for photos for HP Photosmart 3180

When I first hooked up the HP3180 I tried printing photos from iPhoto and could select 4x6 from the iPhoto Print window. I printed several photos easily.
After my daughter had been using the MacBook for several weeks (wirelessly connecting to printer through Airport Express), the Print settings changed. Now, my Paper choices include many choices of strange sets of numbers numbers but none are 4x6, 5x7, etc. Also the Presets used to include "Photo Paper" and other choices. What happened to those settings? Is it Express or Bonjour-related. There is no way now to select 4x6 in the Print window.

All of the directions received from all parties still do not solve this problem.
The correct printer Epson Stylus 2200 is selected in System Preferences as well as in PS Elements. There are any number of dialogue boxes that open none of which allow a selection for type of paper or quality. It even warns you when ready to print that the quality is only 220 dpi.
With my photo on the screen and a Command P or selecting print from the PSE File Print Menu the screen has the following settings
1. Select Printer          Epson Stylus Photo 2200
2. Select Paper Size    Letter
3. Select Print Size      8" x 10"
x     Crop to fit
Print 1 copies of each
Help     Page Setup     More Options....                         Print     Cancel

     Thickness     Inches                         Print Crop Marks
     Background
System Preference all settings are correct Epson Stylus Photo 2200.
Note again all suggestions received work just fine if in IPhoto Command P opens screen with a selection called presets and it allows selection for photographs and type of paper.
Again thank you all for your help and patience.

How to change the paper type in printer settings?

Does anyone know how to change the paper type in printer settings? I'm trying to have the ability to change it to photo paper from Photoshop Elements. I can't find the option in printer settings or through Elements. I'm assuming I could save an additional printer setting for photo printing, but can't find how to even select a different paper type.
thanks!

It would help to know which OS you are running as the answer will be different if it's Lion or the previous OS's. You are not running iOS 5.0.1 on your MacBook Pro so provide the correct information.

HOW DO I CHANGE MY PRINT SETTINGS SO THAT THEY STAY SET TO MY PRINTER DEFAULTS?????????????????????????????????????????

This one issue is probably the one thing that would make me abandon Firefox FOREVER (besides the problems with Flash). If I change print settings for ONE COPY I have nothing but HELL trying to get my print settings BACK to my PRINTER defaults. Why can't Firefox be like the REST of the computer world and have the PRINTER DEFAULTS override Firefox?????
I made a change yesterday and I have NOT been able to get it changed BACK to the defaults.
Is thois too complicated?

Hello Grillmark55 , any luck if you [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-printing-problems-firefox#w_reset-firefox-printer-setting Reset Firefox printer setting] ? , if the above link is not helpful then see: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-printing-problems-firefox#w_reset-firefox-printer-setting Reset all Firefox printer settings]

Photoshop CS6 freezes with attempts to change printer settings

(This problem also occurs with InDesign CS6, so I will post to that forum as well. First one to give me a solution gets my undying love and devotion appreciation.)
My employer acquired a Canon 6010 printer with a Fiery print controller last year. I have no problems printing from my personal Windows laptop.
However, from my employer's iMac (OS X 10.6.8) I get the spinning beach ball of death at least 90% of the time that I open an existing document and attempt to change the printer settings. The only way out is via Force Quit. Inexplicably I can occasionally succeed in changing printer settings. I think the record was having to force quit the application 11 times. Not sure - I quit counting.
So far our only semi-consistent work around: create a new document and copy and paste the contents from the existing document. Not cool. But sometimes the app freezes with brand new documents, thus destroying my work around anyway.
Additional Information:
I have installed all CS6 upgrades.
Our technical support contractor recreated the problem and could not find any solution other than the work around.
Canon says the problem is with the applications.
This happens whether I attempt to change the printer settings immediately or make changes to the document first.
It does not matter what other applications are running.
Rebooting the system after the app freezes does not make it work.
We cannot upgrade past 10.6.8 because of the age of the hardware. But CS6 is supposed to run on Snow Leopard.
I have tested this with other applications, including some older Adobe software. It does not happen with Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, InDesign CS3, Photoshop CS3, Acrobat 8 Pro, Acrobat 9 Pro or Acrobat XI Pro.
This happens whether the documents were created and saved on the Mac or on a Windows computer.
Re-saving the documents and/or printer settings does not change the outcome. Once I restart the application Photoshop may remember the paper size, but doesn't remember duplex settings. (From another thread in this forum I suspect a corrupt printer preferences file.)
Per the instructions in the other thread I reset the printing preferences by launching the app while holding down shift-control-command. That enabled me to change the printer settings one time. Every subsequent attempt brought back the spinning beach ball.
No other employees report similar problems (including a few MacBook users). However, they do not use Photoshop or InDesign, nor do they typically change printer settings.
Sorry if some of that is irrelevant - just trying to give you as much info as possible and tell you what I've tried already. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Bonnie

Nanneri, my situation is similar in that creating the PDF and printing from that does take longer than just printing from InDesign and Photoshop.
I finally got a Canon tech rep on site who understood my problem. Though we had tried reinstalling the drivers (as had previous Canon reps), this guy got it right. Neither Photoshop nor InDesign has locked up since - at least not for the Canon 6010. (Photoshop has locked up twice when I've attempted to print to a Canon iPF8300s wideformat that isn't on the Fiery. Restarting PS has fixed that.)
Based on my experience, I would start with new drivers.
FYI: I am having problems printing to a new Canon C7065 that also uses Fiery. But the problems vary and I haven't isolated the factors. Sometimes I get a printed error report. Sometimes it just doesn't print. But no more software lockups.
In our case, I suspected our problems were related to having old hardware that can't be upgraded past OS X 10.6.8, which is the oldest OS compatible with both CS6 and the Fiery. But since you are on a newer OS, and a different printer, I'm beginning to wonder about the Fiery.
Hope you find a solution soon. Keep us posted!

Can't change print settings on HP C4280

Hi everyone, I can't change the print settings on my HP C4280 printer. I click the third drop down (Copies & Pages) menu after clicking print on a word document or webpage and I am able to see all the options (paper handling, scheduler, etc.- . I am also able to see advanced setting after clicking everything except paper type/quality, borderless printing, and printer driver information. When I click these 3 just mentioned, the advanced settings part that is supposed to load up is just blank- ) .
I have installed the driver and all other hp junk that I downloaded again from HP's website. Anyone have an idea how to solve the issue? I'm thinking the included leopard driver is being used and not the new HP one. I've tried selecting the new driver in system preferences but I don't know where the new driver is located.
Thanks in advance. I appreciate your help since the printer guzzles ink in the standard setting.

Seems like several people are having this problem. HP was actually very knowledgeable and helpful though. A simple manual uninstall and reinstall worked for me, but here are more comprehensive instructions from HP if you're still having trouble.
The issue you are describing would require a more intensive uninstall procedure. Double-click on Macintosh HD, Applications, Hewlett-Packard, HP Uninstaller. Proceed to the second screen of the uninstall, that asks you to select the device to remove. On this screen, hold the control, option, and command buttons (the three buttons on the bottom row of the keyboard, to the left of the spacebar). While holding the buttons, click the uninstall button. An additional screen will appear with a prompt to confirm.
Be advised, when you click yes all HP software items will be completely removed from the computer. This would include all items installed for other HP devices, as well as the driver package that is preloaded in the operating system. Any other HP devices that are currently installed will have to be reinstalled using compatible versions and the driver set would need to be reloaded from the Leopard DVD if you needed it for any older HP printers.
Click on yes, the uninstall may then take several minutes. Once the uninstaller has completed, empty the trash and restart the computer. When the computer has finished restarting, double-click on Macintosh HD, Applications, Utilities, Disk Utility. In the disk utility, highlight your Macintosh HD on the right, then click repair disk permissions on the right. The disk permissions repair may also take several minutes. After the repair is complete, close all windows and restart the computer again.
You would then be ready to reinstall the HP software. For your operating system version, you are recommended to only install the software version 9.7.1. Which is a comprehensive installation and includes the update item as well as support for 10.5.2. If you no longer have the file you previously download, it is not version 9.7.1, or you are unsure as to which version it is, then you may download the software from our site at the following link.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-55008-2 &lc=en&cc=us&product=3192753&os=219&dlc=en&lang=en
This should resolve the issue. If you need further assistance, please reply to this message and we will be happy to assist you further.

Cannot change print settings, print on foto size

When I want to print a webpages the printer (HP6380) prints in the format 10 x 15 instaed of A4. I tried changing the settings in printermenu but it did not help...

When reading your '''More system details...''' for the HPOfficejet 6300 series printer, the paper height is set to 11.0 and the width to 8.5 - '''inch''' settings for Letter size paper - not metric settings for A4 sized paper.
Where are you checking the setting for A4 paper?
{Ctrl + P} to see what is known as the "native print dialog", then check to make sure that printer is selected in the Printer - Name box at the top, and then hit the '''Properties''' button. The preferences that appear there are what Firefox uses. Settings that appear elsewhere or the "default" printer settings aren't what Firefox uses.

Changing Permanent Default Print Settings

Hello All,
A few months ago, I somehow managed to change my print settings permanently to B&W. I know it wasn't just changed to grayscale through the print menu when I try to print a document. I have a Canon MP470 and am running Leopard OS X. I remember having to go through lots of layers of menus to get it to do this, I just don't remember how I got there.
A page somewhere on the internet showed step by step how to do this. I can no longer find it. I know my printer still prints color as it will still make color copies using the copy machine function.
Does anybody have any idea how to undo this?
Thanks for your help!

The location of the grayscale setting would depend on which driver you are currently using. There are two Canon provided drivers, a v6.9.3 and a v10.1.2 'CUPS' driver. There is also a Gutenprint offering and there is also PrintFab.
If you open System Preferences > Print & Fax and select the MP470 in the Printers list, you can check the version of driver you have by selecting the Options & Supplies and looking at the General tab.
For the v6.9.3 driver, the Grayscale Printing setting is located under the Quality & Media menu. If you selected this and then made a Preset, then that would give you a default b&w option.
But your post suggests that you changed more than this so I'm not sure what you would have done differently to the above. There is no function to default the printer to b&w via the machine control panel.
If you want to keep your locked b&w driver you could add another printer queue using the same version driver or the other version driver.
Or if you want to remove the current b&w driver, then you could reset the printing system and then add a new printer queue.

When I print, resolution changes, can I reset Acrobat to default settings?

I can't see any issue with any of my settings though shortly after reinstalling CS a month ago, Acrobat started printing to a much lower resolution than the PSD (or any application) is set to print to, though Photoshop may be the only one where I am actively looking into resolution issues because...
Every resulting PDF I get is about 1x1", when I'm starting with a letter size doc (or any other size, they all shrink down that dramatically in Acrobat iwth the resulting PDF).
Checking all resolution settings in Advanced Print Settings dialogs all -look- like they're fine. Is there a way to reset the whole shebang to installation default settings to help correct this traumatic happening which always happens just as I need to send a PDF off to someone of course.
Thanks for your help in advance, I really appreciate any tips or if the default thing is easy, thanks!

Hi, thanks. Do you mean Save As - Photoshop PDF, or... how are you referring to doing that?
(Thank you for this! I had taken to making screenshots for pete's sake, though this change happened suddenly, so ... I have no idea why printing to PDF suddenly didn't work and it seems it should be "repairable".)

Change Print Settings at WillPrint

I see that the WillPrint event is triggered after the user dismisses the Print dialog box. I have a PDF where I want to only allow them to print page 1. Can I use the WillPrint event and change the print settings so only the first page is printed? Thank you very much.
Rick

As try67 says, the event doesn't work like that.
WillPrint is exactly as it sounds - it's triggered when the user presses the Print button on the print dialog, so at that moment the document will print no matter what you do with the event; and they've already made their choices about what is going to emerge from the paper tray. If JavaScript could intercept those choices it would cause no end of problems.
