Almost no paper options in PS print menu

I'm using Photoshop CC on a Mac yosemite and want to print on transparencies. However the print menu only lets me choose photo paper or plain paper (with different qualities).
How do I get more options for different kinds of paper like vellum or transparencies? My printer is a HP Photosmart.

That's entirely up to your printer driver, but with such generic info nobody will be able to point you in the right direction. HP do not produce jsut one printer, you know, nor do we know anything about your exact print settings, how the printer is connected and so on...

I have lost the photoshop manages color option from my print menu in CS6.

I have lost the photoshop manages color option from my print menu in CS6. It now has colorsync manages color as an option along with printer manages color. I don't know how to reverse this and I can no longer use my printer with any assurance of accurate color.
What could have caused this & how do I reverse it?

Assuming you have not gone to a newer version of WORD and it is just an update issue, then you should be able to go to the addins in the options of word and enable Acrobat. Sometimes the updates of WORD seem to disable the plugin. Note that the plugin is PDF Maker and shows up in the save as menu as well as an Adobe menu item in WORD. The printer is a separate process and does no require activation.
A repair of Acrobat may also solve the problem.

Color Laserjet Pro 200 MFP Print Menu

When I use my iMac 27 with this printer, I don't see all the print options in the print menu in Preview etc. that are mentioned in the User Guide. No "Color/Quality" options/Advanced etc. to change. I have downloaded and installed the latest drivers from HP. I am using OS X 10.9.4. Am I doing something incorrectly or missing something. The product is working fine otherwise.

Hi jerryoster,
It sounds to me from your description that you might be using the Mac AirPrint driver instead of the HP driver. I suggest the follow;
Reset Printing System
Click the Apple icon (   ), and then click System Preferences.
In the Hardware section, click Print & Fax/Scan. The Print & Fax/Scan dialog box opens.
Right-click (or  Ctrl  +click) in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system…
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows no printer selected
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
hen you add the printer, ensure you are using the HP driver, not the AirPrint driver.
Select Add other Printer or Scanner
Select the printer you are adding and next to 'Use' you can the printer driver
Please let me know if this resolves the issue. If you require further assistance, let me know which LJ 200 model you have (How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?), and if you have downloaded and installed the full feature software and driver from the HP website.
Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.

Photoshop CS5 - colour settings in Print menu not working after update Mac OSX maverick

After upgrading to Maverick OSX on the iMac printing from CS5 via Epson R3880 is not working correctly. In Print Settings menu the drop downs for Colour and Colour Settings are greyed out. I already re-installed PS and installed the new drivers from epson. Any ideas?

but after choosing PS manages color, the options in the print menu for choosing color (color or b&W) and color settings are not available anymore. They used to be the last three years I printed with photoshop/epson 3880.
Instead they are greyed out now.

If Photoshop managed color, then the controls in the printer driver are supposed to be grayed out - that's how Apple specifies drivers to work (because only one party should be managing the print color).
So what you're describing is perfectly normal.

Missing Adobe PDF option in the Printer Icon

I have just upgraded to Mac's LION 10.7.2 and I have LOST the Adobe PDF option in my 'print menu'
How do I get it back into the Printer llist ?
If it matters, my version of Adobe Reeader is 10.1.1
Thanks
Shelgor

Phillip,
Thanks for getting back to me, but I am a novice ( softer word the 'dummy') and I cannot follow your directions; I don't "SEE' the items you mention so let me try to paint a clearer picture
When I have a document that I want t print.....I go to the file menu and select "PRINT' from the drop down menu, That opens window that has an oval window that allow me to drop down to see what printers are available....I have TWO......a Brothers MFC-5490cn and a Lexmark
NOW..tose ar my only two options......prior to up grading )from Snow Leopard) to Lion.....there was a third option....which 'Adobe PDF Printer', and THAT is the one I've lost.
My goal is to get it back into the Printer Window as a third option.
Thanks

FHMXa an a Mac - AWOL postscript print menu

Version 10 of Freehand (or any other version) gives me a nice
selection of additional print options under the print menu
Print>Freehand>Setup (for instance selection of a PPD, access
to different page sizes for the selected PPD, crop marks,
registration marks etc).
However, in version MXa this seems to have disappeared (it's
a bit flaky in version 10 but I've just about figured out how to
get to it reliably)
Does anyone know if it's still possible to access this as
it's invaluable when creating PDF's for print.
Any help most appreciated.

FreeHand must have access to a PPD to produce advanced
printing features.
In Mac OS X, the PPD is chosen with the printer setup. Make
sure that your
printer is set up correctly and that you have a Postscript
printer or
virtual printer chosen in the Print dialog. If you have
Acrobat Pro, then
Adobe PDF can be the virtual printer.
This Apple technote might help.

I have Mac os10 yosemite and with photoshop elements 13 I cannot get a menu from Print to change the type of paper. Where is that menu The one that comes up only alows for paper size not type

After clicking print the menu that comes up does not allow for a change in paper type. Where can I change the paper type. OS 10.10 Yosemite with Photoshop Elements 13. I have a windows computer with the same program and the print menu has a paper settings option but not on the the mac. What gives. Is the Elements 13 not compatible with the OS 10 Yosemite? Thanks for any help

If you delete all the Adobe Reader stuff it will probably fix this. For almost everything, the Apple pdf handling works better.

Limited universal app HP print menu options

Just bought a new MacBook Pro and use an HP Photosmart 8750 and a Canon BJ-85. No problems using the Canon -- plugged it in and I was ready to go. Even though the HP is on the Intel Mac supported printer list, there was no photosmart print drivers found in the Print Browser besides the gimp (which did not work). I went to the HP web site and downloaded/installed the 8750 driver (version 3.1) with no problems. When I'm using non-universal apps like Photoshop CS2, I have plenty of print menu options: copies, layout, scheduler, paper handling, color sync, paper type/quality... and it prints beautifully. When I'm in universal apps like Lightroom/iPhoto I have very limited print options and the output is terrible -- almost like draft mode. Apple shows that the HP is an included driver with Tiger with version 3.3. Can I get that version somewhere or is this an HP problem?

The driver you're looking for is part of Hewlett-Packard installer package for Tiger. It's an optional install, so when you install OS X, that's not part of the basic installation.
To install it, insert your Optional Installs disk and locate the Printer Drivers option; click the disclosure triangle next to it to reveal all the optional printer drivers, and select the model(s) you want and be sure all others are de-selected. Proceed to install as normal.

HP PSC 1610 lost Paper/Quality tab in Print Options

Help! The Paper/Quality tab in Print Options menu has disappeared. Everything prints with max ink. The ability to select draft, fast normal or black ink only has disappeared. I suspect this happened after the last OSX update. I now have 10.4.7
The problem persists with all software applications

Thanks for the tip. I did receive a long answer from HP to uninstall and reinstall the updated printer drivers from HP's site. They think something got corrupted. I suspect they are right. After doing the whole procedure it now works fine. Thanks for your help.

Am using PS Elements 8 with Vista.The print menu shows: "Paper Type:Unknown".I want to use glossy photo paper.How do I do this ?

Make sure the Printer is installed on your machine. If the printer is not installed on your machine the paper type will come as unknown.
After installing the printer :-
1. select the printer in the "Select Printer" setting.
2. In the Printer setting option click on "Change Settings" button.
3. Select the paper in the "Paper type" dropdown list.

I can using AirPrint from safari and email to my hp printer but do not get print as an option from the pulldown menu from the new york times and other apps. How can I print directly from these apps?

I can't seem to print directly from apps like the new York times. Print is not an option from the pulldown menu. Print to my hp printer works fine from safari and email though and from some other apps. Do some apps not permit printing? That doesn't right.

Thats funny. If go to ny times on safari therebis a print icon and no problem printing. On the app -- and I am a paid subscriber -- no print option ...
You can ask the NY Times why not.
Standard behavior is that Airprint always works with iBooks, Mail, Photos, and Safari. Apps are up to their author.

It is an eMac. I have a corrupted font book. How can I fix/re-install/or download a new font book app? Most fonts that were in it work, some do not, but I cannot open it nor can I install fonts into it. This happened after the eMac OS was upgraded from 10.3.9 to 10.4.11 and AI was upgraded to CS2

I HAVE ADOBE PREMIERE ELEMENTS 10. I used to have many options on the "Disc Menu" to set up my DVD.. and now it is very limited..almost no templates. I try to sign in to my account through Premiere and it will never sign on. Anyone have any thoughts??

I HAVE ADOBE PREMIERE ELEMENTS 10.
Problem #1 I used to have many options on the "Disc Menu" to set up my DVD.. and now it is very limited..almost no templates.
Problem #2 I try to sign in to my account through Premiere and it will never sign on...just keeps acting like its trying to but never connects. Anyone have any thoughts??

JEN-E-FER-FER
With versions earlier than 11, there is no more Sign In. If you get any message to that effect, ignore and cancel out of them. You should be able to move forward to your import, editing, and exports using the program nonetheless.
As for the disc menus, those marked photoshop.com plus members only are no longer available to you in versions of Premiere Elements earlier than 11. You may see the thumbnails for those members only items, but they are no longer available to you in Premiere Elements earlier than 10.
Interestingly, many of them are found in Premiere Elements 11, 12, and 13 as part of the program with no need to purchase them or have any special membership in anything. Adobe has promoted Adobe Revel as a replacement for photoshop.com, but that has no impact on this disc menus issue.
This all has to do with Adobe discontinuing photoshop.com and photoshop.com plus et al.
If you need to download regular disc menus for Premiere Elements 10, please review the following
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE 7, 8, 9,10: Content Download
Bottom lines:
1. No more Sign In for Premiere Elements 10
2. No access to photoshop.com plus (members only) disc menus
Any questions or need clarification on anything written, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

How to delete CHEAP IMPOSTOR in the print menu?

How can I delete the CHEAP IMPOSTOR option in the print options menu?
Thanks
Benrhard

Is it in the drop-down menu for Layout / Paper Feed, etc?
If so there's likely a PPD plugin or PDE somewhere in /Library/Printers. You'll need to go poking around in there to find it and trash it. Spotlight may find it if you turn on the System Files / Include option.
