Illustrator :: Automatically Print Data Set While Avoiding Print Dialog Box?

Aug 13, 2013

My company is exporting Postcards in Illustrator CS6. What we do is have a large data set imported into the Variables applet and use the Actions applet to record and export action and play it through the whole data set. We later combine the PDF files and print them as a batch.
 
My question is: Is there a way to create an action that will automatically print the data set while avoiding the print dialog box? It will make the process simple and move faster.
 
Also, what are your was of creating postcards? Catalogs?
 
How do people create a catalog with over 60 pages and keep the file size low?

Photoshop :: Why It Would Take So Long For Print Dialog Box To Open After Selecting Print

Dec 5, 2012

-PC based system running Windows Home Premium 64 bit8 GB ramLots of hdd spaceCS5.5 Master Suite
-Epson Sylus Photo R1900
 
Operating system, CS5 suite and printer drivers all updated.
 
When attempting to print a photo, it can take anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes for the print dialog box to open up. It takes SO LONG that it appears that Photoshop has frozen, but it has not.  The print dialog box opens eventually.  This started about 2 months ago. I have looked at all preferences, assigned more RAM to Photoshop, uninstalled and reinstalled the entire suite, ran all updates, uninstalled and reinstalled the printer drivers - all to no avail.
 
I am at a loss as to why it would take SO LONG for the print dialog box to open after selecting print? I thought there may be a problem with the print spooler or print queue, but the slowness happens BEFORE the print back system is touched. The print queue is empty, and there is nothing stuck in there.  I've checked.

Illustrator :: CS6 Print Dialog Box Does Not Come Up

Sep 11, 2012

I have multiple printers and in CS6 about 75% of the time the dialog box does not come up it just goes straight towards the default printer Is this a glitch or is there a setting becuase previous versions of Illustrator always brought up the dialog to select page size, printer, seperations, etc. Using OSX Mountain Lion

Illustrator Scripting :: How To Initiate Print Dialog

Jan 25, 2009

I need to initiate print dialog. Action must be completely the same like pressing Cntr+P on keyboard.

colorOptions.colorProfileMode = PrintColorProfile.SOURCEPROFILE;

[Code]...

Here's the screen shot.  If I ignore the preview, and set with the print area tool, I get what's in the print area tool.  Something is amiss in the land of tiling settings, but I can't get to whatever setting is messing this up.

Photoshop :: Print Dialog Box

Nov 7, 2012

I've a question regarding the Print dialog that states "Needs Calibration" just below the drop down for selecting printers. The selected printer is a HP Photosmart C7180 and PS CS5.5.
 
What calibration PS is refering to? I've tried the built in pen and color adjustment on the printer but that operation does not seems to be of interest by PS.

Photoshop :: PS7 Automatically Trying To Print When I Open Image?

May 25, 2008

When I open an image by double clicking on the file name, or by right-click > open in > photoshop, immediately up pops an image saying "Some Clipping May Occur" or the print dialogue in some cases.

But, if I drag the file into PS and drop it, it does not try to print it. So it seems to be something about actually "opening" a file that makes it want to print. I tried changing the file association to another program then back, but it didn't work. I'm using WinXP

Photoshop :: Automatically Print File Name Under Image

Apr 28, 2005

I take a lot of passport sized ID images (45mm high x 35mm wide). When I get them back from the lab I have to identify each image.

If I could have the image filename on the bottom of each image the identifying process can be made a lot less time consuming and of course negate the posibility of misidentifying the image.

GIMP :: Where Does GTK Print Dialog Get Its Defaults From (2013)

Mar 12, 2013

As I understand, Gimp make GTK, used in Gnome. GTK provides a dialog for selecting a printer and specifying the options for that printer. My problem is that whenever I'm faced with this dialog, it's a completely random set of settings; it's not the printer defaults (specified in CUPS) and it's not the last-used settings either for the user or the application.

It's a big productivity issue when I regularly print documents and high res photos and need to change ~10 or so options each time. Invariably I forget to change one of them and have to print something twice.

Is there any way to control these default print settings? I'd like it to pick up the CUPS defaults for the print queue selected.

InDesign :: Print Progress Dialog Box Always Stays On Top?

Mar 13, 2014

Since upgrading to InDesign CC I have noticed that all print progress dialog boxes stay on top of all windows, even after switching apps. I find this highly annoying and want it to go away. Is there a preference I can change to make it NOT be on top, especially when I've switched to a different application?

Photoshop :: Adding A New Paper Size In CS6 Print Dialog?

Aug 31, 2013

Some paper companies have released a new paper size-9x13.
 
I find this excellant for fireworks and certain architecture prints.
 
Problem is that in CS6 I cannot adjust Set Up dialog to get entire paper printed correctly. The printer(both Canon's 9000mkii/9500mkii)  always have a border. Red River(the paper I use) sez use 8x12 but there is no 8x12 setting.
 
the paper size in the CS6 Print menu (PS Manages Color) so the copy is inked 100%?

Photoshop :: Printer Profiles Not Showing In Print Dialog?

Dec 29, 2012

I cannot seem to see the custom Printer Profiles I have for certain papersin the Print Dialog.I have added the Print Profiles to Library > Application Support > Adobe > Color > Profiles (and also in Recommended)
 
But in the Print Dialog under Colour Management > Photoshop Handles Colour > Print Profile - they are not showing. I have done things like restarting Photoshop and converting the image to CMYK from RGB.
 
I can see the profiles in the Proofing menu and am able to select them.without using the profiles my colour management is completely off kilter.Also, can I confirm that I am putting the printer profiles in the correct folder?

AutoCAD Inventor :: IDW Print Dialog Box Defaulting To 693965387 Copies

Apr 3, 2012

On a few random idw files we are seeing the default "Number of copies" in the settings section of the print dialog box with strange high numbers in this case 693965387. As soon as the user selects a different printer the number drops to 1. If the user selects the printer properties and navigates to the advanced page the Copy Count is 1969. I have checked the default printer settings and it is set to 1 copy.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Publish And Automatically Load All Open Drawings?

Sep 20, 2011

I don't remember ever using this checkbox on the Publish dialog box but today i want to and i can't figure out how to make it work. The help file ~seems~ to say that if i select this, the contents of all open documents (layouts and/or model space) are automatically loaded.... but they don't.

I know i can pick the Add Sheets button and manually select all the drawings i have open but doesn't that defeat the purpose of this checkbox?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Automatically Print Layers Of Drawing In Separate Sheets In One Go?

Apr 3, 2012

How to automatically print the layers of a drawing in separate sheets in one go?
 
I wanted to print the layers of a particular drawing each in separate sheet but wondering if there might be an automated way to do so. For example, if I a particular drawing comprise 15 layers then how to print each one of these layers in a separate sheet.
 
Sure, there might be more than one way to achieve this (like controlling the “plot” feature on the “layer properties manager” but what I’m looking for is an automated way to print all the 15 layers separately in one go.

Photoshop :: Extremely Slow Print Dialog Response In CS4 (Windows 7 64bit)

Jan 3, 2012

It's a Q6700, 4GB, 2TB drives, Epson R2880 running Windows 7, 64-bit.  CS4 is very peppy, runs great, opens, closes, edits, NO PROBLEM.
 
UNTIL you decide to print.  Once you hit the print selection it takes a MINIMUM of 40 seconds for the CS4 print dialog to appear.  If you then hit the "page setup" button, it'll be at LEAST another 30 seconds before that appears.  Once they're up, you can navigate around and make changes, but once you hit the print button on the dialog it'll be another 10-15 seconds before it responds and if you specify "Print Preview" it'll be at least another 30 seconds before you get the preview.  Once it hits the printer, it prints fine.  There haven't been any software or hardware changes in weeks, except the weekly MS updates that get installed.
 
I've tried large images, and small images in case there was something CS4 was doing.  This process is this slow when printing a 4x6 greeting card or a 12 x 18 photograph.
 
What's interesting is this is a new phenomenon...  It worked FINE up until sometime last week.  Then suddenly, slow.......  Concurrently, the print dialog STOPPED DISPLAYING INK LEVELS.  The status monitor still displays them, but the printer dialog no longer does.
 
I've unloaded the printer and cleaned off every file I could find that appeared to be associated with an Epson print driver.  Went to Epson and got the latest, Windows 7, 64-bit set of drivers and status monitor and installed that.  No difference.  Also tried a new USB cable AND switched it to the other USB port on the printer and on the PC.  Nothing's made any difference......
 
If necessary, I can have her re-install CS4, but is there anything that should be done before we start clobbering major applications, or ever worse, the operating system?

AutoCAD LT :: Gelocation - Print Map Data?

May 24, 2013

I am having issues trying to print a file from LT2014 in which I have overlaid my drawing on map data. The satellite image is scaled and located correctly.

The problem I am having is when I go to print the file, the satellite image shows in my viewport but when I print the file it is only my original drawing that prints without the map data.

Is it possible to print map data or am I just overlooking something?

Photoshop :: CS6 DCS 2.0 / Certain Colors Randomly Will Not Print Any Data

Jun 21, 2012

I'm creating a DCS 2.0 EPS file in photoshop CS6, and when I assign PANTONE colors to the channels, it glitches out when I print it from illustrator CS6. 
 
Certain colors randomly will not print any data.
 
So I renamed the channels in the DCS EPS file and removed the PANTONE Spot color data, and that seemed to fix the issue.  Is there a patch that fixes this issue?
