just my 2c
shifting a file to the desktop has the advantage of not being
destroyed by accident, there are cases if the plist or other
preference file is destroyed you may have difficulties with the
application thus you then may need to put the old preference file back
in place, serial numbers, key codes are sometime stored in the pref file

Hi again Ronda
Just out of curiosity, why drag the plist's to the desktop? Why not
straight to the trash? Doesn't Safari (or whatever) generate a new
one anyway?

Hi Peter,
Sounds like Safari is not holding the standard default print setting.
Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
Home > Library > Preferences - Move the "com.apple.Safari.plist"
file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
Now launch Safari.
Check your Printer's Preview that the Print Settings are what you
wish … A4 - Portrait 100%.
See if Safari prints as it should. If so move the .plist file to
the Trash.
Once Safari prints in Portrait 100%, it should hold that as
Default. Safari holds the last print setting as Default (or should).
Cheers,
Ronni

Hi Ronda
Yes, I've done all that.
It still goes back to landscape and 75%.
It only happens in Safari.
That's what has me stumped.
I've thrown out all the printing plists I can find.

Hi Peter,
File > Print When the print dialogue appears, click the downward
facing triangle that is on the right of the printer's name. This
will give you access to more printing options.
Orientation: Portrait @ 100%.
Set it as default.
If it doesn't hold as default you might need to:
Delete the file com.apple.print.PrintingPrefs in ~/library/
preferences
Then log out and log back in and try printing again.

Hi Everyone
When I print from Safari it comes up printing in landscape at 75%.
How can I change it to portrait at 100%
I know it must be easy, but I'm damned if I can find it
Thanks in anticipation
