Believe it or not. I just came from a computer store, where i bought a brand new printer. Came home - turned on internet - went to macmost to see what video is today - and guess what is the today's topic "tips for using the Ventura print dialog"! Just when I bought me a new printer,......So for this video & all your other video's 👍⭐👍⭐👍⭐👍⭐👍⭐👍⭐👍⭐
Thank you very much, Gary. I now understand why sometimes it can feel confusing to use something as simple as the print dialog box. This video relates well to your other Save dialog box and the Finder tutorials. Three related but distinct things. Hope Apple will improve the consistency of using these tools.
I’m saving this video! A very useful and informative video tutorial today! I thought AirPrint was really cool. Now I’ve learned something new. Thank you, Gary 👏❤️
I figured this much out pretty quickly - then I needed to print on my Epson P5000, which can be very complicated, and spent a half hour finding everything. Still not sure I found it all (managed the one I needed it for but still working out the rest of B&W fine art choices.arrrrgggh.
@@macmost I mean where you can securely print when you are in an office. So you have to enter a PIN to retrieve your print. Previously you would have to go to "Job Handling" to do so in our case. Where do you think this option would appear in the dialog (provided the printer supports it)?
I hope I don’t run into the issue of the “auto selection” of the paper tray choosing the wrong paper feed (my printer has a front tray, and a rear paper feed, i normally use plain A4 paper, which is what i keep in the tray, and i rarely use the rear paper feed), however, one time when i left it set to “auto select”, it decided to choose the rear paper feed, this printer also supports automatic double sided printing) I can’t remember which computer i was using when that happened, but i had to cancel it and manually select to use the front tray (as there was no paper in the rear feed)
Thanks for this. I’m having some issues with the new print dialogue window in this version. I use a zoomed screen and the bottom of the window is off the screen for me. I hope they fix it soon
Sadly since the Ventura upgrade, my Macair can’t even communicate with my printer(still works with my Iphone and IPad). Still trying to just get it to work.
hello sir plz can you check for me about FAX on ios ventura 13 on mac mini i could not send fax from the mac i can recived fax on mac print scaner only thanks
Hi Gary - thanks for the good overview. I have a client who hates the Ventura print dialog in that when using Preview or Safari or any other Apple App - the new Print Dialog is not movable/floating. Is there anyway to make it float like in Monterey? She likes to move the print dialog over to one side of her 27" screen and then peruse a long document for example to be certain of which pages she wants to print. She finds it too difficult to peruse this using thumbnails. Is there any way to make these print dialog boxes floating again? or a decent workaround? - maybe after your video - using the open in preview is the next best thing? Thanks.
Hello, Im trying to prink a booklet style print where you can fold the pages and it can be read like a book but it seems like It cannot do that can you add a video on how to do this please?
I think your printer needs to support that. Otherwise, you need to figure it out in the layout yourself and feed the paper in the right way at the right time.
Gary, I use excel on my Mac. Prior to the Ventura redesign I was able to print one sheet in Landscape and one sheet in Portrait from the same workbook in one print job. Now, in Ventura it doesn't work. All sheets switch two whatever orientation I selected last. Any ideas? Thank You!!!
Hey i am using a HP Smart tank 525 printer with mac mini m2(Ventura OS) . But i am unable to print any document directly from my mac mini . The color options also not showing to select. Kindly help me to fix this problem
Very informative video, as always. Is there a way to change the order of options in the print "PDF" contextual menu. I added a "Save to Desktop" in my print "PDF" but it is at the bottom. I can't seem to find a way to move it up to the top.
Hello Gary, how do I enable double sided printing? My printer is Canon ip2770, I could print both sides on paper automatically when I was using windows but since switching to Macbook air m2 I can't anymore. Please help.
Prof - as always, thank you for this video. Question regarding the ‘save as PDF.’ If I save as PDF, will the system retain both the original non-PDF format in addition to the PDF format? Or is the document permanently converted to the PDF format? If so, is there an option to have both formats?
Thanks! How do you set up the print choices as a default, so that they're the same every time you open the print dialogue? I have a color printer, but rarely use the color print, but every time I go to print, I have to remember to turn off the "print in color" button. There must be a way to save your default settings?
Not sure this is what you want, but it is closest to what you are describing: support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/check-a-printer-print-job-dock-mac-mchle453335f/mac
This video is helpful for Word, but doesn't seem to work for Excel. I'm trying to enlarge the text size when printing an excel document seems to be impossible. There's no option to charge print size percentages like in Windows. I feel like i have to buy a used, cheap Windows computer for the sole purpose of printing excel documents so I can increase the text size.
Under Windows you can choose to print two pages on one sheet and for selection of pages set “1,1“. This prints page 1 twice on one sheet. How can this be done on Mac?
This comment worried me! I don’t print often but, when I do, I print both sides of the paper to save paper. Went and checked. I have a Samsung M283x. Printing from Pages, there was an option in the ‘Copies’ section labelled “Double Sided” which toggles Off/On. Chose On and it printed on both sides a la Duplex. If you don’t see this then you might need to contact the printer manufacturer for advice.
🏴☠BLACK BARON🏴☠ If iReduce the scale factor, the number of pages will increase or decrease? Developers, fixed width or scalable width on large screen Retina displays for printer dialogs? Resizable Preview panel pane to make Preview larger?
Depends on the app and what it prints. An image editing app may just enlarge the image but always print on one sheet. A text document app may enlarge the text and reflow onto more pages.
You came so close to addressing my issue - where I can't see the Print button (and the save to PDF option) at the bottom of the screen, but you didn't quite succeed at addressing my issue. I have minimized all the extra options in order to make the print screen dialogue box come up a bit from the bottom, but it wasn't enough. I use a larger resolution. What would solve it is if the Safari page didn't jump down about an inch from the top of the screen OR if there was an ability to move the print dialogue box up from the bottom. Moving the dock will help as well, but I don't want to change all that. DO YOU ANY OTHER IDEAS? (or do I just have to hope that a newer upgrade to the iOS will solve this? Thanks for all your informative videos.
@@macmost I'm not sure how to reply without using screenshots, however I'll try. To start with, I use a slightly bigger resolution due to my vision. I use 1280 x 800 instead of 1440 x 900. I've had the resolution set slightly bigger for years not only on my computer but on my cell phone and iPad as well. I never used to have display problems because of it. Now I continually have to change my resolution in order to use, among other things, the print feature. Using the bigger resolution, if I collapse all those lower menus, the Print button and option to save as PDF still won't display. If I change my resolution to default and move the dock to the side, then I can see them. I just wish I could grab the dialogue box and raise it up on the screen. Then there would be no problem.
@@wheelchairdemon2008 So you are saying that what I show at 8:28 isn't happening for you? You don't see the Print button jump into view? Not sure of the solution for you then. Maybe just use the keyboard shortcuts for those instead. Return to Print, and Command+. to Cancel.
Thank you. OMG it’s looking like every MacOS settings it’s an Electron App Everything it’s half baked. Everything it’s a scrolling. The under the hood it’s really good. Global OCR in spotlight, faster system updates. Really good. But the team behind this overhauling the interface had to made a iOS version of every settings. I’m so disappointed. Really bad design. It looks to me a touch mac will come very soon and they have a deadline to meet. Otherwise Samsung hijacked the MacOS design team.
Totally agree. Look my other comment. They made a electron app for every settings. It’s really bad. It’s a trend Ex. Safari’s read later searching box was visible, now you have to guess to scroll up so the search box become visible. How on earth a average user will find this? It’s everywhere.

I love the new comprehensive way.... (finally I would say)
Super-useful tutorial, with a bunch of tips and options to extend my use of Print beyond the basics. Thank you, Gary! Ace!
Thanks Gary! Everytime I think I know a topic inside and out... you show me some things I didn't know I didn't know. Another excellent teaching video!
Thanks very much, Gary! This was incredibly useful. So many as yet undiscovered options!
Thank you very much, Gary. I now understand why sometimes it can feel confusing to use something as simple as the print dialog box. This video relates well to your other Save dialog box and the Finder tutorials. Three related but distinct things. Hope Apple will improve the consistency of using these tools.
Great information, now if I can remember where this all appears. Thanks for sharing!!
Good information. As usual I already knew some of the basics. Yet, you pointed out many additional options I will have when I move to Ventura.
Great video, as usuel!
But I didn't understand the difference between "Print Job Preset" and "Custom Preset".
Thanks!
It is a small difference. Most people don't need to use both.
I’m saving this video! A very useful and informative video tutorial today! I thought AirPrint was really cool. Now I’ve learned something new. Thank you, Gary 👏❤️
Thanks bunches

Very useful, just missing how you can set up confidential printing now as that also moved.
Not sure what you mean by "confidential printing."

@@mirjamhappel9198 Sorry, I don't have any system like that available to me, so there's no way for me to check and look for it.
@@macmost Fair enough, thank you for your reply. Very much appreciated!
Hi Gary. Please show me how to print "selected area" ?
In which app? For instance, in Numbers, you can do this: th-cam.com/video/w7WX0jXbJYM/w-d-xo.html
Hi, How can I change the Color Settings ? It seems like it vanished and also my System Preferences.
I hope I don’t run into the issue of the “auto selection” of the paper tray choosing the wrong paper feed (my printer has a front tray, and a rear paper feed, i normally use plain A4 paper, which is what i keep in the tray, and i rarely use the rear paper feed), however, one time when i left it set to “auto select”, it decided to choose the rear paper feed, this printer also supports automatic double sided printing)

That would be something controlled by Excel, not macOS. It has its own printing function. So maybe a change in Excel?

Sorry, I don't have this printer so I can't give you any advice. Contact HP support and they should help you.

No, there's no way to move those up like that.
Hi Gary is there any way to airplay or screen mirror ur iphone to ipad??
No. iPad can't act as an AirPlay receiver.
Hello Gary, how do I enable double sided printing? My printer is Canon ip2770, I could print both sides on paper automatically when I was using windows but since switching to Macbook air m2 I can't anymore. Please help.
You'll need to ask Canon support for help with that. I don't have that printer so there's no way I could guess what options are offered.
Is there still a way to type a selection? Would be convenient to just type a comma separated list rather than scrolling and clicking.
I don' think so.
Prof - as always, thank you for this video.
Question regarding the ‘save as PDF.’ If I save as PDF, will the system retain both the original non-PDF format in addition to the PDF format? Or is the document permanently converted to the PDF format? If so, is there an option to have both formats?
This doesn't affect your original document. It create a new file that is a PDF.
@@macmost Thank you, sir.

In Presets, choose the Use Last Settings option.

Go to File, Page Setup. Set the scale there for printing.
Under Windows you can choose to print two pages on one sheet and for selection of pages set “1,1“. This prints page 1 twice on one sheet. How can this be done on Mac?
I can't think of an easy way to do that.
Before Ventura I used to have Duplex. Not anymore, after upgrade… button disappeared!

On my new MacBook Pro, I can’t see the bottom of the print dialog window and can’t scroll down to see it. Is this a Ventura bug?
See 7:43

OMG it’s looking like every MacOS settings it’s an Electron App
Everything it’s half baked.
Everything it’s a scrolling. The under the hood it’s really good. Global OCR in spotlight, faster system updates. Really good. But the team behind this overhauling the interface had to made a iOS version of every settings. I’m so disappointed. Really bad design.
It looks to me a touch mac will come very soon and they have a deadline to meet. Otherwise Samsung hijacked the MacOS design team.
Almost makes me wish I had a printer to try your suggestions. But printers are a dying tech.
Once again, Apple is slowing but surely ruining usability of the mac os!
Totally agree. Look my other comment. They made a electron app for every settings. It’s really bad.
It’s a trend
Ex. Safari’s read later searching box was visible, now you have to guess to scroll up so the search box become visible. How on earth a average user will find this?
It’s everywhere.
