Hello,
I cannot save presets in Print Center (paper type/quality, color options, etc..)
For example, if I want to set up "plain paper" "draft" and "grayscale", I have to do it manually each time.
When I was running on Jaguar, I used to save presets, but with Panther it doesn't seem to work anymore.
Any ideas?
Thanks for helping!

Any error message given? I assume your using the "Presets" pulldown menu as you did in Jaguar?

Maybe try deleting and then adding your printer again in Printer Setup Utility.

No, there are no error messages and I did try to delete and add again the printer, but I still have the problem.
I am printing most of my everyday letters in "Draft" mode but I always have to select that preset manually. That's strange, with Jaguar it was working well.
Any other idea?
Thank you!

I know this is a bit delayed (hehe ) but you might want to try a utility such as this: http://www.fixamac.net/software/pcr/

That is if you haven't fixed the problem already.

Thanks a lot!
Actually I am still looking for a way to have the print center work correctly without buying another software. Apple or HP should be able to do that!!
Thanks anyway..

I'm assuming you have a Hewlett Packard ..

Printing Problems in Panther
Several other users have reported that after they updated to Panther from Jaguar that they could no longer print to their printer. Hewlett-Packard printers seem to have been especially hit by this problem. Several solutions have been proposed. It may be necessary to use them together to fix your printing problem.

1. Delete the setup for your printer and then reinstall your printer's drivers. Delete the printer from Printer Setup Utility. Restart. Add your printer.
2. Delete the drivers that come with Mac OS X 10.3 and install the drivers available on the Web site of the printer's manufacturer.
3. Delete all of the "com.apple.Print.(...).plist" files from your ~/Library/Preferences folder.

In more detail ..

Deleting and Re-adding Printer
1) Disconnect printer, turn it off.
2) Run "Printer Setup Utility" from "Applications -> Utilities"
3) Highlight the printer and remove it
4) Quit "Printer Setup Utility". Restart
computer
5) Connect USB and power on the printer. Wait a little. Open "Printer Setup Utility" again, highlight the printer you wish to print from
6) Select this printer as "default" by clicking on the corresponding icon on top of this window.
7) Try again to print

If this fails ....

1. Delete the drivers that come with Mac OS X 10.3 and install the drivers available on the Web site of the printer's manufacturer.

2. Delete the printer from Printer Setup Utility. Turn Off Printer and disconnect. Restart Computer. Connect Printer.Turn on Printer. Add your printer in Printer Setup.

Actually I can print, but the problem is that I cannot save presets such as paper type, output quality, etc...
