"Bonjour Printers" missing from  "Printer:" pull-down in Print dialog box

One of our users has recently lost the ability to add Bonjour printers. For example, if he presses Command-p to open the Print dialog box, then clicks on the arrows icon to produce the list of available printers, the "Bonjour Printers" option does not appear in the list. None of the others in our small group (six of us, all with identical 1.67Ghz G4 Powerbooks running identical OSX versions - 10.4.3 with all updates applied) have experienced this problem. The user in question reports seeing the expected Bonjour option in the recent past and claims to have installed noting more than the recommended OSX updates in the mean time.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Chance

Thanks for the reply.
Our user's problem was "fixed" when he arrived at work a day later and happened to look in the pirnter menu only to discover that the "Bonjour Printers" option had reappeared. He had made no configuration changes in the mean time.
I can confirm that he wasn't imagining things in either instance. In fact, we used Bonjour Browser when things were broken and again after they were "fixed". In the former case, only two or three Bonjour items were listed, while in the latter there were 13 local services, including the Print Spooler.
All our Macs get their IP configuration via DHCP, so it is possible that various network configuration changes were made without our intervention. Nonetheless, this is very odd behavior.

  • Using alias addresses from Account pull-down menu

    My main computer is in for repair and I started using my G4 for Mail. I have a Mobile Me/.Mac account and have several alias addresses. On my computer with Leopard, the From account pull down- menu has my alias accounts to choose to send from. This, the Tiger machine does not. Only has my primary Mobile me account to choose from. Is there a way to get my aliases to show in the pull-down. I was syncing the mail boxes for a while, but that didn't seem to do what I wanted.

    Is there a way to get my aliases to show in the pull-down?
    Go to Preferences > Accounts, select the account in question, and add the alias email addresses after the Email Address field for the account, separated by commas. Save the changes, then restart Mail.

  • Remote App, Printer properties opens behind redirect dialog box

    We noticed an issue in July 2013 with all redirect printers using RemoteApps on Server 2008R2. 
    When you clicl on File>Print and sleclt properties, the dialog box is opening behind the Windows windows telling you the printer has been redirectd by RDC.  You can see the Printer Preferences and the only way to bring the window the front is
    to click on the Window Title bar of the window. 
    I've seen others posting the same issue, but I haven't seen a resolution.

    Hi,
    I had the same problem in both Windows 7 and Windows 8.1.
    I downloaded the fix KB3036965
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3036965
    and installed it on 2 test pc who had the problem. After I Installed the hotfix I worked.
    But as Shimon Adimor say’s it is very annoying with the dialog box that appears, that informs you that the printer has been redirected. The KB3036965
    does not fix this dialog. So if there is some solution to disable this dialog box it would be nice.
    Thanks

  • Set preset values that can be selected from a pull-down manu

    I am writing a VI in LabView 7.1 to collect data. I have a set of variables that need to be set at the beginning. I used Basic Information subVI to input these variables to be saved in the data file header, but everytime I run the VI I have to type in pretty much the same thing. The variables I use usually can be selected from a list of number, text or Y/N. I thought about using Configure File VI, but I think that will only give me a fixed set, not a choice. I wonder if there is a way to preset a list of variables so that I can select one value from the list rather than type in everything each time.
    Thanks,
    Ron

    1. Write a Vi that have all your variables i.e. enum, ring, text controls, boolean controls etc
    When this Vi is called, it allows user to configure all settings
    There will be a "save" button. Upon clicked, it should prompt user to input a filename (i.e. *.ini) and the file will be saved to a pre-determined directory i.e. LabVIEW Default Directory
    With the above, a new *.ini file is created for respective set of variables.
    2. Knowing that all *.ini files are stored at LabVIEW Default Directory, make use of the attached example VI, modify it to suit your needs, to get all *.ini filenames and update to the Combo Box control
    With the Combo Box control, you can now choose the desired configuration file (*.ini) to be loaded for the rest of the test needs.
    3. The selected *.ini file path is now input to a Vi that does the extraction of all variable settings from the selected *.ini file.
    Above is just one of many ways that you could have a pull-down menu for selecting a set of settings from a set of configuration files.
    Hope this make sense to you
    Cheers!

  • Execute option missing from JSP drop down menu

    I'm going through a Java Web Development class and trying to produce a small web app through Sun Java Studio Enterprise 7 2004Q4. I have two servlets, a couple of classes and two JSPs. At seemingly random times the "Execute" and "Execute (force reload)" options from the drop down menu you get when you right click a JSP fails to show up. It isn't grayed out, it just isn't there. Most of the time these options are there. And they can be there one time and then for the same project, same set of JSPs everything, they just disappear.
    Can anyone tell me what dumb thing I'm doing to cause this?
    And can anyone tell me how to fix it once I've done it?
    Thanks
    DR Crowley

    First of all thank you for all the time you are spending on this. Believe me I know how frustrating it can be to figure out what is happening when you can't reproduce the problem.
    On to your questions: I am running Windows XP Professional. I have checked and made sure that the extension is still .jsp and that it isn't changing. No I don't have the IDE set up to show extensions, however the icon beside the file is the jsp icon and when I go to Windows explorer (where I do have it set to show known extensions) it is a .jsp file and does not have the ever exasperating hidden extension that windows is infamous for. Sun Studio seems to recognize the file as a proper jsp (due to the icon).
    As to your further questions. I am executing it by right clicking on the jsp file itself. And the jsp file is in the documents folder not in the web/inf folder.
    At this point we are out of the class and it isn't nearly as important that I get an fix. We (our company) will probably not do jsp files and servlets thourgh Sun Java Studio Enterprsise. Instead we are looking at using Sun Java Studio Creater to do the view layer.
    Thanks for all your help and the time you took to try to figure this out.

  • Unable to add a new printer in 10.5.7 - dialog box "quits"

    Every time I try to add a new printer via System Preferences-->Print&Fax, the dialog box showing available printers briefly opens, and then quits. As a result, I am currently unable to add any new printers.
    Help?? Thank you...

    If you open Console (Applications > Utilities) and look at Console Messages you may see a reference to the Add Printer starting and stopping. This may give some clues as to the cause.
    Still in Console, if you expand /Library/Logs and then expand Crash Reporter, there may be an entry for the Add Printer app.
    If none of that is any help, then you could download the 10.5.7 Combo updater and ran that. If you updated to 10.5.7 using Software Update, then the Combo updater can sometimes repair files that were damaged by the sequential update.
    You could also get a copy of Print Therapy from fixamacsoftware. This utility can help resolve printing system issues.

  • I just upgraded to Snow Leopard, and I have Aperture 3.1.3.  Now after I import pics from my camera I get a dialog box so large I can't get to the eject card button.   I have to force quit Aperture.  How do I fix?

    I just upgraded to Snow Leopard, and I have Aperture 3.1.3.  Now after I import pics from my camera I get a dialogue box so large that I can't see the eject card button.  Consequently, I can't get rid of the dialogue box without having to do a force quit on Aperture.  How do I fix?

    I can drag the dialog box, but I can't move it up far enough to get to the eject card button.  The dialogue box contains all the jpeg Numbers I am trying to upload.  It has never done that before.  It used to be just a smal dialogue box with no jpeg numbers in it.
    It is even difficult to get to the Finder with the Dialague box is open.  I have to force quit aperture.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.

  • Bug:Downloading pdf file from the web,file name in dialog box populates with incorrect file name

    Hi Gurus
    When downloading any pdf file from the web using adobe Reader X the file name dialog box populates with incorrect file name
    compared to the saved file name of the document downloaded.
    Clarity
    1. Download any pdf file from the web
    2. Click File, Save as note the populated File Name
    3. Compare the populated file name with the saved file name of the documant yuo are downloading.
    4. The file Name is incorrect...
    Is there any work around on this issue?Can someone please help?..
    OS:Windows7
    Reader: Adobe Reader X
    I've tried a couple of other versions and still get the same results...

    Are you downloading the file (right-click, save link as), or just opening it by clicking it?
    If the latter, then what happens is the file is loaded to the temporary internet files folder by IE and assigned a temporary name, which is then used when you're trying to save it.
    You can test this out by going to File - Document Properties before trying to save and looking at the file's location.

  • Even in Safe Mode, minimize, restore, and close buttons are missing, though the functions remain, and a dialog box now comes up when opening FF.

    Ever since I installed the latest Firefox update, the minimize, restore, and close buttons are visually missing, though their functions are still present.
    I have also started to have one of those dialog boxes asking whether or not I would like to allow a program to make changes to my PC come up when I open Firefox.

    Check that Firefox isn't set to run as Administrator.
    Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
    Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.
    * Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
    * "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" should not be selected
    Also check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
    If you can't make the changes then you need to start Windows Explorer as Administrator.

  • All printers missing from Print Management

    Okay, so I have a weird issue.  I am running Windows Server 2008 Standard SP1 on my local workstation and used to be able to fully administer all printers in our company via Print Management installed as a feature from Remote Server Administration Tools > Role Administration Tools > Print Services Tools.  One day earlier this week, I lost this ability. 
    All printers literally disappeared.  I can still see drivers, forms and ports, but absolutely no printers.  However, within printers inside Print Management, I can still add a new printer although I cannot see it - but know that it has been added successfully by consoling the respective print server and tested it.  I also am still able to see all deployed printers (via GP) and can still deploy those that have previously been deployed.
    Nothing has changed in terms of security rights (I am a Domain Admin), firewall settings, or Windows Updates.
    The print servers that I connect to are all on the same subnet, and are running Windows Server 2003 R2.
    I've tried removing and re adding the Print Services Tools in Server Manager and tried updated Windows Media Services 2008 via this link. 
    I cannot find anything out on the web indicating a similar issue,  so I am hoping someone on this forum may be able to help.
    If this is a known issue, I must of overlooked the post, so please post the link for me.
    Thank you,
    Bob

    Hi,
    As far as I know, most printer object missing issue can be caused by the printer pruning. This feature is an thread running inside spoolsv.exe on the Domain Controller. It will periodically check if the printer object is valid. After trying several times, if the object always considered as invalid, DC will remove this object form AD.
    To disable printer pruning, we can simply disable spooler service. The only impact is the printing function on DC is not available. But, all the client and printer server will not affected. Client can still search object in AD.
    The following are two policy related to pruning:
    1.      On DC, run gpedit.msc and locate Computer configuration/Administrative Templates/Printers
    2.      Make sure all the pruning related policy is set to disabled
    Disabled the policy "Allow pruning of published printers"
    Enable the policy “Directory pruning interval”, and set the interval to Never

  • Multiple copies of the same printer showing up in the print pull down menu...

    Hi... I just recently installed an Epson XP-410 wireless printer so that we could print from our iPads and iPhones.  I don't know if this is the correct forum to ask the question(s) in or not, but here goes...
    1. There are multiple copies of the printer showing up in the drop down print menu when I go to select the printer.  How do I know which is the correct printer to choose, or does it matter?
    2. Can I get rid of the un-needed multiples?  If so, how?
    3. Also, I have been having an issue with printing to it when I switch between programs.  When I tried printing to it from a simple text editor, it came up and said that there was a communications issue.  I used to have a Brother network printer connected via Ethernet, and had no issues printing from any of my computers, but I couldn't print from the iPad with the Brother.  So, we bought the Epson.  Anyway, I had to restart the computer to re-establish the link between my computer and the printer.  Didn't think I should have to do this since it is a network (wireless) printer.  Any thoughts on that?
    For a little more information, our main computer is an iMac (20-inch) running OS 10.7.
    Thank you,
    Jim

  • Missing "End Condition" pull down under Media Inspector

    I am creating a DVD menu and wanted to loop an 8 second clip into a 20 second DVD menu.
    When I go to the Media Inspector I see all the other parameters: Alpha Type, Invert Alpha, Pixel Aspect Ratio, Field Dominance, Frame Rate. But no "End Condition" nor "reverse". It's as if I needed to pull them section down to reveal them, but I can't seem to find a way to do this. It is very odd and I have already deleted the preferences and restarted Motion to no avail.
    Anyone ever had this odd behavior? Thanks for any input!
    Doug

    It's not there. You need to select the layer in the Layers tab, then go to the bottom of the Properties tab in the Inspector and open the Timing properties. This was changed from M2 to M3.

  • "iOS Photos" album missing from Facebook drop down box

    I have an iPhone 5S running iOS 7.0.4. I want to post a Photo from the Camera Roll to Facebook. I tap on a Photo in Camera Roll and choose FaceBook. The Album field defaults to one of my existing Albums at the top of the list. When I scrool down through the list the iOS Photos album doesn't appear. Therefore any photo I upload via the Photo App appears on Facebook under a specific Album not Mobile Photos or iOS Photos. How do I get iOS Photos to appear at the top of the drop down box?
    Many Thanks!

    Is remember passwords still enabled?
    *Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Remember passwords for sites"
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
