DeskJet D4260 and Vista - can't save property changes

Have Vista Home Premium on an HP computer and use a HP Deskjet D4260 printer.

I go into the printer properties and set them so that the printer will not use the color cartridge, but use black ink only. It works for a single document, but the next document, it goes immediately to the use of the color cartridge (in such a case, I think that it also uses the color cartridge to black, which is a terrible waste of ink, but profitable for HP).

Whenever I changed the properties of the printer to print with black ink only, I made sure that I have 'save' or 'apply' settings. The system refuses to keep the black-ink settings only.

This happens if the documents are all in black only, some color or all colors.

This happens regardless of program I can print: browser (IE8 and Firefox 3.5.1), word processing (Office 2007, OpenOffice 3.1) or anything else.

How can I force the printer settings to save and stay put to use black ink only? The driver files that I have to hack and how?

Thank you

Hello moxieman,

To change the default print settings, change it in the Printers folder printing preferences in the control panel: open Printers, right-click on the D4260 (should be called Deskjet D4200 series I think) and then click Printing Preferences.

    A "quick" fix that worked for me was to uninstall Adobe... and download Adobe Reader 11.0 installation base.

    Then download each individual updates and run them sequentially.

    I installed back to the last update of security which is version 08 and were able to register under normal operations.

    You will need to disable the automatic updates to keep up with the 08 version, until Adobe fixes this problem in a future release.

  • Acrord32.exe (Windows 7 and Acrobat cc) breaking, can not save the changes, Windows Explorer crash earlier

    Recently decided to upgrade to Acrobat DC after discovering that she will allow me to OCR files that previously forced me to spend of TIFF, and then back.

    I downloaded the program and installed today.  I was the conversion of Acrobat 9.  After that I started uninstalling Acrobat 9 Pro, Windows Explorer has started crashing.  I finally restored the computer

    I checked the Microsoft forums to see what could have gone wrong, and they seem to indicate that I should run sfc in the prompt, then see if there are problems in the registry. Here, of course, began with today or yesterday (which doesn't make sense - not sure that the report gave me irreparable files, or both fixed and fixed, or what). Other research suggests that I do a disk cleanup, and since then I had the problem of Windows Explorer.

    I tried then just install Acrobat DC on Acrobat 9.  This seemed to work properly.  However, now I have problems with Acrobat to crash (although the window remains open?). The message says that acrord32.exe is the culprit.  In addition, a number of my PDF files cannot be replaced - if I want to save my changes, I have to save to a different folder, delete the old file and move the other in its place.

    It's basically a nightmare, and I lost a ton of productivity today putting out fires.  Do not have these problems until I started playing with Acrobat.

    Please give me some suggestions.

    Thank you

    In fact, I could hope to find the solution on this thread:

    Adobe Reader DC contains errors and crashes with Windows Server R2 2012

    Going to see how it goes with the preview pane disabled (although she will suck if I can't use TI - hope you guys who patch).

    Also, add a folder by the instructions under C:/User / [USER] / AppData.

    In the hope that this problem will be solved in between.

    EDIT: It looks like it fix the problem.  Acrobat Pro DC now works without any problem.

    Gina,

    In addition to what Brian asked;  You have everything installed third-party software may have come with your camera (Kodak software, for example)?  This error can occur because of conflicts that exist with Windows Photo Gallery and some third party applications.  If you do not have some software like that, and have a way to re - install Pleae try to uninstall and see if you still get the error in the photo gallery.  Thank you.
