Is there any way to when printing tif files from a folder, to remove the
feature where it takes every tif to a preview folder first...slowing things
down tremendously?
 
Make an icon on your desktop of the printer you want to use. To do so, go to
control panel and printer and just drag the printer to your desktop.
Once there, right click on the icon and check the printing preferences. Once
set, just drag the file you want to print over the printer icon and printing
will start instantly.
 
Sorry, this is not going to work. I had this feature on a previous computer,
but just making an icon is not sufficient to set this up. Will try to find
how this feature was set.
 
Cause it works.

1/ There is no preview folder
2/ It just prints

So perhaps you aren't using windows.
 
Maybe this is indeed all I did. But with the new printer I have now it does
not and I did not exactly remember what I did to make this work on XP about
two years ago. I will give it a try again.

Click to expand...
=========================================
It works with my old HP. Another way to do it
would be to go to...Open With / Internet Explorer...
then you could go to...File / Print and also you
would have a Print Preview.

Thanks John. Indeed this is what I had, HP laser jet 4 on my older XP
system. Now I have a Minolta color laser and when the question came up I
answered it. But then I tried to set it up on my new system and it did not
work. Will look into it further.
 
Printing involves two things. A printer and a program to print. Most programs adhere to the /p standard and register a drag drop printing command line (EG Acrobat "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /t "%1" "%2" "%3" "%4")

It appears adobe didn't read the specs (and prefer /t for prinT rather than /p for Print)

%1 represents the file name and %2 the printer name. You can ignore %3 and %4 for Windows 95 and later systems. For Windows 3.1 systems, %3 represents the driver name and %4 the port name. Unlike most similar arguments, the %3 and %4 arguments of printto should not be enclosed in quotation marks.

So it depends on how that user configured that system.

It also appears MS didn't read their own specs either

"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\PhotoEd\PHOTOED.EXE" /pt "%1" "%2" "%3" "%4"

They like qouting the %3 and %4.

Photoed shows no ui when printing via Drag n Drop. But does if one r/c and choose print.
 
Actually /t would be print To
