Cannot change default Page Size

HP Officejet Pro 8500 has more

Windows XP

All the installation instructions were followed, and the printer works well.

However, whenever I try to print a document, the Page size in the default printing preferences window is always letter, and I change manually in A4 before continuing.

How can I set the default Page size for this printer A4 (instead of letter)?

Hello

In order to define the document by default to A4, you should try the following settings.

1. go to printer and Faxes folder
2. right click on the printer and select Properties
3. then click the Preferences tab.
4. go in the paper/quality tab
5. Select the paper tray and paper and type format you want.
6. click apply then OK to save the settings.

  • Cannot change default program windows 7 64 bit

    I have a user who is running windows 7 64 bit which cannot change default programs. This only happens on the computer if it is connect. So I think it has something to do with his profile.  I noticed that when I go in the Panel and click default programs on associated with a file type I can choose the new program, but it will not save.

    We just migrated to a new domain and transferred all the user profiles with the Microsoft migration tool.

  • Change the page size - grayed out of boxes

    I'm changing the page size of the pages within a document. Apparently, you're supposed to select the pages in the Pages panel and then change the height and width of the Panel settings. My height and width boxes are grayed out. What have I done wrong?

    Your screenshot shows you the active Selection (the black arrow) tool, not the Page tool (the third tool from above).

  • Change the page size, unexpected behavior, CC

    Hi, having a problem with the changes after the change of the page. In a nutshell if I get cardboard PMPoint transformation (0,0) before a change of page size, the result is exactly as planned, the origin of the page in the editing table. After I change the page size using kSetPageSetupPrefsCmdBoss and run the transformation even recalibrated value is identical before changing the page size.

    Here's some quick code and output to illustrate. PageSizing:; DoYourThing() called and made the intial processing, prints the output in InspectTransformation(), then call ChangePageSize() and remembers InspectTransformation().

    Sub PageSizing: DoYourThing()

    {

    IDocument* theFrontDoc = Utils<ILayoutUIUtils> ()->GetFrontDocument();

    if (theFrontDoc is nil) { cost < < "Need a doc." } < < endl; return; }

    fDoc = theFrontDoc;

    GetPageSpreadRefs()1); Download the UIDRef from the 1st page and spread

    if (fPageRef == UIDRef:gNull) { cost < < "Invalid Page" UIDRef. < < endl;} return; }

    if (fSpreadRef == UIDRef:gNull) { cost < < "Invalid spread UIDRef." } < < endl; return; }

    cost < < "before changing the size of the Page." << ENDL ;

    InspectTranforms();

    bool16 sizeChangeResult = ChangePageSize();

    if (sizeChangeResult) {

    cost < < "after changing the size of the Page." << ENDL ;

    InspectTranforms();

    }

    }

    Sub PageSizing: InspectTranforms()

    {

    do {

    PMPoint leftTopPage (0, 0); / / Page coords

    InterfacePtr<IGeometry> pageGeo (fPageRef UseDefaultIID(());

    PMMatrix page2Pb =:pageGeo InnerToPasteboardMatrix();

    PMRect pageBoundsInPasteboard = pageGeo->GetStrokeBoundingBox(page2Pb);

    PMPoint pageOriginInPasteboard is pageBoundsInPasteboard. LeftTop ();

    Helper:PrintPoint(pageOriginInPasteboard, 'Origin of the dough pension Page.');

    InterfacePtr<ITransform> pageTransform (fPageRef UseDefaultIID(());

    PMPoint leftTopInPasteboard = leftTopPage;

            :: TransformInnerPointToPasteboard() pageTransform, & leftTopInPasteboard);

    Helper:PrintPoint(leftTopInPasteboard, "transformed the point (0,0) in cardboard coords.") );

    } while (kFalse);

    }

    bool16 PageSizing: ChangePageSize()

    {

    bool16 retval = kFalse;

    do {

    InterfacePtr<IPageSetupPrefs> docPrefs (fDoc->GetDocWorkSpace(), UseDefaultIID());

    if (docPrefs is nil) { cost < < "Nile IPageSetupPrefs" < < endl;} Break; }

    InterfacePtr<ICommand> pageSizeCmd (CmdUtils:kSetPageSetupPrefsCmdBossCreateCommand());

    if (pageSizeCmd is nil) { cost < < 'No command' < < endl;} Break; }

    InterfacePtr<IDocSetupCmdData> cmdData (pageSizeCmd IID_IDOCSETUPCMDDATA);

    if (cmdData is nil) { cost < < 'Data command nothingness' < < endl;} Break; }

    PMPageSize currPgSz = docPrefs->GetPageSizePref(); / / 612, 792

    PMPageSize newPgSz (currPgSz. OutputWidth() + 50, currPgSz. OutputHeight () + 50);

    DocPageBinding link = Utils<ILayoutUtils> ()->GetDocumentPageBinding(:GetUIDRef(fDoc));

    cmdData->SetDocSetupCmdData(:GetUIDRef(fDoc),)

    newPgSz,

    docPrefs->GetNumPagesPref(en)

    docPrefs->GetPagesPerSpreadPref(en)

    docPrefs->GetWideOrientationPref(en)

    Liaison);

    Error code ec = pageSizeCmd ProcessCommand() CmdUtils:);

    retval = (ec == kSuccess);

    if (! retval) { cost < < "Resize the page command failed." } < < endl;}

    } while (kFalse);

    Return retval;

    }

    The output

    As you can see the origin of the page is different after the order of page size, but the transformation returns the same value of 0.0.

    Am I missing something about transformations or the order of page size?

    Thanks for any help. Mike

    Hello Mike,.

    you was not assuming that the upper left corner of a page in coordinates (0, 0) pasteborad. That is right. But you assuming that the upper left corner of a page in internal coordinates is (0, 0). And it is wrong. The origin of the page in internal coordinates is (0, 0) after resizing.

  • How can I change the page size of a pdf document so that I can check on my iphone more clearly?

    How can I change the page size of a pdf document so that I can check on my iphone more clearly?

    This is way beyond what can be done with PDF, except by copying the text and make a new document in Word or something.

    That said, Adobe Reader on Windows may display the text AS IF the PDF file has been divided. It's the text reformatting. It may be possible in Reader for iPhone, you can try the player for ios forum.

  • Change the page size in a smaller format

    Hello

    We have some problems resizing of a PDF document to a smaller size of the page (e.g. A4).

    It seems that Adobe Acrobat Pro DC creates a PDF document with a page size that is larger than an A4 document in width.

    We have already tried the following things:

    • We printed out the PDF file to an A4 document with the Adobe PDF printer, but this causes all our form elements to disappear. 90% of all form elements are not available in the printed PDF file.
    • We tried to set the page size by using options like Te 'organise pages' = > 'set page boxes' = > "Change Page size". However, when we try to set the size of the page on the exact dimensions of an A4 document, we obtain the well known error "Page Size cannot be reduced".

    Finally, we used a trial version of MapSoft plugin for changed the size of the page of A4 document.

    It works, but in our view, this should be possible in Adobe without use of external plugins. If we have missed some sort of option in Adobe Acrobat Reader Pro DC?

    Thank you.

    P.S.: If the document does not have the exact size of A4 page, a part of the text does not fit into predefined on our template document boxes. In addition, the printed document alike on different printers if the A4 page size is not used.

  • Change Web page sizes in different screen sizes.

    Hello

    It is a wire ralated to a page size Web to adapt to different screen sizes. For example, if you design a Web page on a small screen and want the size to change and adapt to a view of the site on a different size.

    If anyone knows how this is possible please reply.

    Use the default CSS positioning (which is not at all positioning).  Use CSS margins, padding & / or floats to align elements on the page.

    Change this:

    NOTE: change Divap1, Divap2, etc... More meaningful IDS that indicate where the container is used on your page.  Example: #wrapper, #header, #footer, #captions.

    Hi dordeknet, this page doesn't appear at startup, or whenever you open a new window (for example, Ctrl + n)?

    • Only at startup: check the program icon allows you to see if a new URL has been injected in the path target Firefox start. Right click > properties > Shortcut tab.
    • Every time: If Firefox is not to honor your layout home page in the Options dialog box when you open a new window or click the Home button, make sure that you have disabled all Extensions of the addons page section (Ctrl + Shift + a > click Extensions in the left column).

  • change default page to "current page" print range of 'all '.

    I use Vista SP2 and Office Pro 2007.  I don't want the default print page go to eb "all" pages because I am usually needing to print the current page.  When I have a lot to do, I'm frustrated by always having to choose "current page" and want to know how to do this by default instead of the current default of "all the" pages to print.

    BKucharczuk,
    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers community forum.

    The quick answer is no, can't do it.  This behavior is controlled by the printer driver and software, no Windows or Office.  I've never seen a manager of the printer that allows you to change the number of default pages for anything other than 'all '.  That said, you can visit the web site of the manufacturer of your printer and are looking for their knowledge base or ask this question on their forum, and you might find someone who has found a way to do.

  • Cannot change the font size in the window pop up and stickies

    I use Acrobat Pro XI on a Macbook Pro, OS 10.9.5. As a proofreader/Editor, I use mainly the highlight and sticky tools. A few days ago the type in my comments have become extremely low, even if I didn't have any (intentional) changes. I have just put preferences at 18 to 20 points, but the police does not change and is still much too small. (I also noted, in a document of support, Mac users are not supposed to be able to size of setpoint, to small, medium, or large - but I do not have these options.) I upgraded x to XI to try to solve this problem, but nothing has changed. When I go to the editing of content box, "Edit text & Images" is grayed out. I can make changes in the field 'Add', but I do not use this tool. I'm getting a little bit frantic (Yes, the smoke is because my hair is on fire), because most of my jobs are PDF files, and now I can't work on it.


    I am sure that it is simply a case of DO (silent operator), but I'd appreciate it if anyone can put back me on track. Thank you.

    You use the properties toolbar? It is contextual. Read the first article below for more information on this subject.

    Also try to go to one of your old PDF with the font size as you like it. Right-click on the reminder and select 'Make properties Default '. Here are a few articles that I hope will help.
