I run at the manufacturer's recommended pressure - 75psi on the rear Continental Sport Contact and about 85-90psi on the front Continental Ultra Gatorskin.

It depends on the tire size. Here's the Schwalbe catalogue: Schwalbe - Professional Bike Tires - Catalogue

I run the Kenda tyres on my Torq at around 45 front and 50 lbs rear. I'd prefer them a bit harder, but the unsprung weight of the front hub causes too much hammering at the front.

The large section fat Kenda tyres on the Quando at 45 lbs.

On the Marathon Plus 26" x 1.75 on the Twist I use 50 lbs.

Catalogue for Marathon Plus gives these pressures:

26" x 1.75 and similar: 45 to 70 lbs

700 x 38C (Torq size): 50 to 85 lbs

and warns do not use outside these pressures due to special construction.
