After updating to Firefox 32.0.3 Print Dialog box will not apear in XP/Win7Pro after a while but a restart of Firefox will allow it to show up again..

After automatically updating to 32.0.3 last Thursday and this Monday on all our Staff and Patron computers both Win7 pro and XP pro we have seen Firefox sessions that will not bring up the Print Dialog. The Print Preview dialog will come up but no print button or print menu item will bring up the Print Dialog. After you close Firefox and reopen it the Print Dialog box will work again for some time. The websites that Patron and Staff use during a session are different and done seem to be the cause. The Firefox settings are at fault because a simply restart of just Firefox fixes the issue and no other web browsers or application has any problem with displaying the Print Dialog at any time. Again this began on all the computers as soon as 32.0.3 was installed automatically over night.

Hi NPLD,
Thank you for your question, I understand that there are multiple computers that no longer have a working print dialogue after a while of using Firefox. However after a restart, the print dialogue continues to act normally.
Does resetting the printing settings on the affected computers only temporarily change this as well?[[Fix printing problems in Firefox]]
I noticed it when I tested this page: [http://www.housebeautiful.com/decorating/home-makeovers/1920s-home-before-after?src=spr_FBPAGE&spr_id=1451_94608649#slide-2] However I cannont reproduce it all the time. The print icon in the page has a opened a printable view and then the print dialoge comes up. When I switched to another program, that icon did not open the preview.
Do you notice any about:config entries that change when you see this start to happen?

Printer dialog box does not appear in Photoshop CS.5

I use Photoshop CS.5.1 with a Macbook 2013 using version 10.9.5. The printer works perfectly with all other applications but in Photoshop no printer dialog box comes up and the print job does not appear in the printers queue. Anyone the same issues?

First, try nuking (deleting them and letting the application create new ones) your Photoshop preferences:
To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (Bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
Important: If you re-create the preferences by deleting the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
NEW Video! Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here.
Mac OS
Important: Apple made the user library folder hidden by default with the release of Mac OS X 10.7. If you require access to files in the hidden library folder to perform Adobe-related troubleshooting, see How to access hidden user library files.

Printer dialog box does not appear

When I do File>Print I'm getting the following error message:
"The saved printer information is not compatible with this version of Photoshop, or the saved printer is no longer available. You will need to check your printer settings before printing."
The Print option then gets grayed out and a print dialog box never appears. Don't you need the printer dialog box to select the printer? How can I select a printer so that at least the dialog box comes up?

Someone had a similar issue below and their solution fixed my problem also:
Go into windows control panel and get into the printer section. Choose another printer as the default printer as in MS XPS document writer and save. Then open PS back up and select what you want to print and also the printer you want to print on.

KB2909210 on Server 2008 R2 breaks my intranet sites and print dialog box

Let's try this again. I have been asking the following question of Microsoft and every time I do, I have only been told to try another forum.
I have several intranet sites that my users use for various data entry and querying purposes. I installed Internet Explorer 10 onto my 2008 R2 Terminal Server over this past weekend (10/18/2014) which also installed the Security Update KB2909210
and rebooted the server. On Monday morning (10/20/2014), when my terminal users logged into the sites, the sites began malfunctioning. All the dropdown arrows turned into question marks. Some fields which normally have a small "x"
on the right-hand side used to erase the data entered in the text field were also displaying as question marks. The objects still functioned but it was disconcerting to my users. The update also slowed down these same intranet sites to where it
began interfering with productivity. I activated Compatibility View for all intranet sites, but it did not resolve the problem.
I also found that when my terminal users tried to print a pdf document from the intranet sites, the print dialog box was jumbled and no fields were pre-populated with data like they always are when printing. I updated to the latest Adobe Reader, but
the print dialog box remained jumbled.
All of my users with stand-alone PCs have IE 10 installed and the intranet sites work fine. The sites display properly and process quickly, and the print dialog box is not jumbled. It is only my terminal users who log in from a thin client
to their profiles on the server and use the IE version installed on the server who have the problem with IE10. The KB2909210 Update is not installed on, and does not come up as, an update for any of my stand-alone Windows 7 PCs.
I uninstalled IE 10 from my server, but since this was one of my production servers, I could not restart it until after the plant was shut down for the evening forcing my users to suffer with the slowness for the day. This morning (10/21/2014) the
intranet sites are working fine through IE 9. I also had to revert back to Adobe Reader v9.5 as the v11 (and v10) print dialog box does not display properly in IE 9.
I do not want to stay on IE 9 on my server as IE9 gets more un-secure by the day and we've found IE 11, on any of our machines, to be too buggy.
How can I install IE 10 with its security updates and prevent it from breaking my intranet sites and print dialog box? What is so different about Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 that IE 10 causes this corruption of intranet sites and the print dialog
box on the Server but not on the Win 7 machines?
The bulletin here:
https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/ms14-011
is useless for determining why it breaks my intranet sites. Nor does it explain why the update destroys the print dialog box.

Hi,
In my opinion, it's hard to say your problem caused by KB2909210. Have you tried to uninstall this update for test if your intrant site's problem resolved?
If your problem truthfuly caused by this updates, you can choose to hid the update as a workaround method.

PUT BACK THE MISSING THE SCREEN FUNCTION IN THE PRINT DIALOG BOX!!!!

Hello all...
I am a creative director in the screen print (garment industry) for over 20 years. We have always used PS to directly print and control our halftone screens and angles through the screen function in the print dialog box. Now it has miraculously disappeared after so many versions previous.
I emplore Adobe and their team to please update this function back into CS5.
Although it is a function many might not even understand how to use, it is IMPERATIVE to the screen printer/artist in this industry.
There are workarounds, of course, but they are much more tedious and time consuming.
I truly cannot convince enough that we folks in this industry want this function back!!!!!

MacOSX (10.9): Print dialogue box does not appear when printing PDF's

I've been having some troubles with the latest version of Adobe Reader on an intel-based MacBook Pro running MacOSX 10.9 (Mavericks).
Environment Details:
Device type: MacBook Pro
OSX: 10.9 (Mavericks)
Adobe Reader version: 11.0.06
Details:
After installing Reader 11.0.06, the print dialogue box does not appear through the print button or through File -> Print... . As a result, I simply cannot print PDF documents when using Adobe Reader.
- Only 1 MacBook Pro affected
- The print dialogue box does appear for other application (i.e. Preview, Word, Excel, etc., etc.)
- Multiple restarts performed
- Attempted to download older versions with no success
- Attempted multiple uninstall/reinstalls
- Reset the CUPS printing system multiple times
- Validated that the account accessing/using Reader has full administrative privileges to the Adobe Reader application
- Occurs for multiple PDF's from various sources

Additionally (I'm unsure if this is related or not), but after trying to perform an update, I receive the following error:
An unimplemented or obsolete function was called
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!

Print html file without seeing a print dialog box

i need to script an action that would allow a user to print a sparcly formated html file to a printer while bypassing the normal print dialog box.
the unix lpr command seems like it might work, but the man page only mentions PS and txt files.
Ultimately i'd want to trigger the print action from a php script, but it could be a folder action also.
Does anyone have any suggestions or point me in the right direction.

lp is the right command to use but you may need to convert the html file in PDF format before printing it. Just test it. Also type man lp to see more options.
enscript is a nice utility that may help you. man enscript for more.

Print Dialog Box for Addon is not showing in Terminal Server

Dear All,
I have created a addon for Automatic Sales Invoice printing that prints the crystal report directly to the printer bu opening a
print dialog box for printer selection through SDK code.
The Same addon works fine on the server with print dialog box being showing through SDK code.
But while running on Terminal Server , print dialog box is not showing any printer though printers are redirected to that
terminal server.I am not getting whether the problem is in my addon or in the terminal server printer settings.
Please suggest as i need to know the reason urgently.
Thanks
Amit

Hello Edward,

But while using terminal server , the print dialog box is not getting any printer in the dialog box .That's the major concern for me
is their any way to check that why the printers are not showing in print dialog box.
Thanks ,
Amit

Print dialog box wont go away...

Weird print stuff? Every time I print the print dialog box stays on the screen?
It can be moved but none of the buttons do anything. And the print boxes will stack up as many times as you print.
Driver issue? since OS X 10.6?

HI,
If the printer icon is still in the Dock, click that icon, then click: Quit.
if that doesnt work, open Activity Monitor (Applications/Utilities). Select My Processes from the pop up menu on the right. Search for your printer under Process Name, then click the red Quit Process button.
If that doesn't help, go to...
~/Library/Preferences and locate the preference file associated with your printer, it will read something like this. Preference files can become corrupted. The next time you print, your Mac will create a new print pref file for you.
com.nameofprinter.plist (I assume they're HP's according to your prior posts).
Move that file to the Trash and restart your Mac.

After the latest two updates, whenever Firefox starts, the print dialog box appears automatically. Why, and how do I stop this?

Not much else to add. The print dialog box just opens every time Firefox is started or restarted.

Check the Home page setting:
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

EPSON printer update v2.3.1: color controls now dimmed @ print dialog box

I have lost the ability to control color in the Print/Print Settings dialog box after this update. The Ink tab is dimmed and set to "Color," the Color Settings tab is also dimmed and set to "Off (No Color Adjustment)," and the Advanced tab brings up only information about the Colorsync profile. The graphic file (Photohop) I'm printing from is a grayscale file.
There is no difference in the Print dialog box between having Photoshop manage the colors or having the Printer do it.
My concern is that the printer will now be consuming color ink, but the actual prints appear to be using only the matte black.
Anybody else run into this? Should I be concerned?
Thanks

From PHOTOSHOP (CS4) In the printer driver menu, the COLOR MATCHING pulldown shows the choices are grayed out. But go to the PRINT SETTINGS pulldown. There you should be able to select BLACK/COLOR Ink, color settings if appropriate (VIVID etc)...
Apparently not all programs gray out the COLOR MATCHING boxes - a demoed a RIP that does not do this but it has other issues (ImageNext2.1).
Also CS4 has the ability to completely disable color management (used for printer profiling), but some apps cannot do this with this driver (ImageNest2.1, DataColor Spyder3Print)

After updating to Firefox 32.0.3 Print Dialog box will not apear in XP/Win7Pro after a while but a restart of Firefox will allow it to show up again..
