Can't access print settings

Hi. Whenever I save a set of print settings for printing I can no longer access Print Settings again. I searched the forum and found this response. This works but then the problem represents itself the next time I go to print. It is rather tedious to reset all my preferences every time I want to print a document.
Mac 10.6.8. I have the latest version of CS5 fully updated. Printing to an Epson 4800.
Help appreciated.

It's a corrupted preferences file.
What i got from another thread, is that you have to launch PS while holding down a certain combination of keys (i think it was shift+alt+cmd), and it'll reset your preferences.
It worked like a charm.
gabevf had the correct answer! I tried it and everything is working fine now!
The combination is indeed shift+alt+cmd and then double-click on the Photoshop app icon.
Greets!

32 versus 64 doesn't make a difference.
"I've seen similar issues on httP://feedback.photoshop.com You should maybe post there to report the bug."
Thanks. I searched there and found what might be a workaround. I think this is simply a bug in CS5. If (as indicated in posts revealed by searching the forum you linked me to) I temporarily change Printer Manages Color to Photoshop Manages Color in the PS window, I can then access Print Settings again to make changes, Save and then change Photoshop Manages Color back to Printer Manages Color.
Go figure.
Thanks a lot for the help.
What I don't understand is why everyone isn't experiencing the same issue.

Can't access 'print settings' in Photoshop...

Hi:
In Photoshop, I am not able to see 'print settings' when I go through the print menu. Does anyone know how I can access them, or a way I can specify the paper type (plain, ultra premium, etc.)? When I look for the print settings in the other suite programs, I cannot see it there, either.
Any help would be really appreciated!
Thanks in advance...

There's a suggestion from another thread I've copied below. Try Gabe's suggestion of resetting the Photoshop Preferences, and if that doesn't work, there are system-wide preferences you can also try deleting as mentioned in this message: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3026788#3026788
I called Apple support and they had me move preference files from the Library folder - anything that said "com.adobe.apple.print". Restart and then it would print.

Can't access "print settings" on an Epson Artisan 1430.

Hi- When trying to print from my MacBook Pro, OS X 10.9 Mavericks, to an Epson Artisan 1430 I cannot access the "Print Settings" button. I select File and then Print from the top menu. I'm taken to the basic print screen and click on "print settings." The button changes color when I click but does not take me to a secondary menu, it just stays there. Can anyone help with this? I've just gone to Epson and upgraded to the latest drivers, etc.
Thanks!

Did you try deleting and re-adding the printer?
If that doesn't work, try deleting the /Library/Printer/EPSON and the/Library/Caches/Epson/ folders and then reinstalling the updates.
If that doesn't work, see if there is anything in /Utilities/Console related to the app you are printing from.

How can i access security settings to stop PDF being copied?

How can i access security settings to stop PDF being copied?
I'm trying to secure my documents so others can not convert file to word or copy and paste information to edit

Keep in mind (and Acrobat will alert you to this fact) that protections that you set in Acrobat are enforced by all Adobe products but the 3rd-party PDF Viewers may ignore them. There are even Web sites that will strip protections that you set in Acrobat. This is not a reliable technology these days. Acrobat keeps it mostly for backward compatibility for those users who use only Adobe Acrobat/Reader.

Can't access beryl settings

whenever i try to access the beryl settings manager, i get this error message on the terminal from which i ran bery-manager:
(beryl-settings:5425): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
Traceback (most recent call last):

i can't access the settings manager of beryl. anyone know what's going on?

I believe you need to:
1. Go to a term and become "root"
2. Edit /etc/locale.gen and uncomment the local(s) you want
3. Save /etc/locale.gen
4. Run locale-gen
That will probably fix you up. A more experienced user will come along soon and check my instructions (I hope!).

Can't access flash settings to disable acceleration

Hello,
I am getting the "black rectangle" on youtube videos, and I have narrowed the cause down to my lack of hardware acceleration. Unfortunately, despite clicking "settings" by right-clicking where the video should be, no settings dialog opens up.
How can I access the settings dialog to turn off hardware acceleration?
This is using a Mac OSX Snow Leopard with the latest Adobe Flash plugin and this happens on both the latest Firefox and Chrome.
Thanks for any help,
K

Thanks. That allowed me to get to the font settings and realise that that wasn't the problem. It was actually Display/Resolutions, which I thought I had already checked.

Can't access modem settings

can't access modem settings, from safari,i after updating to mavericks,

You need to put your dsl modem into bridge mode. Then enter your PPPoE settings into the router. You might have to powercycle (unplug power for 30seconds) your modem when connecting diifferent devices to it. You said that you can't connect to the router @ 192.168.2.1 ?
You can use this as a guide after you put the modem into bridge mode.

How to reset password on an ipad. I can't access the settings the iPad is locked

How to reset password on an ipad. I can't access the settings the iPad is locked.

If you are talking about the restrictions Passcode - there is no way to reset it. You have to restore the decide to factory settings. If you restore from a backup, and the Passcode is in the backup, that will not work since you will be restoring the Passcode that you cannot remember back onto the device.
The only thing that would work is if your backup was created before you put the Passcode on the iPad. The Passcode would not be in that backup and you could restore from that one.

CUPS corrupt - can't access Print & Fax - Constant Terminal & Console msgs

While trying to get a Windows network printer to work I changed some settings in the CUPS config file (BrowseProtocols all I suspect is the problem).
Now when I try and click Print & Fax in prefs I get the eternal wheel. I can't access localhost:631 (I believe that's the proper port) anymore either.
In terminal, I receive this message about every 6-7 seconds:

Please help!

Amazing, this Web! Thanks muchly, Google. And much gratefulness to the two of you in this thread, one for posting your problem and another for the fix.
On my MacBook, a bum cups.conf file was causing the ten-second throttling problem and that was (mysteriously, at least to me for the last few days) preventing Parallels Desktop from successfully starting up! I went round and round on this until I found the messages on the console and tried going back to the original conf file.
Cheers.

Can't Access Router Settings via 192.168.2.1

I have recently changed modem/routers as my connection speed was increased recently and the old modem wasn't up to the task... The previous modem/router was preconfigured and I did nothing to it, however the new one requires settings be fixed by accessing it via a browser at 192.168.2.1
When the technician came to check my line and set up the new modem, we encountered a strange situation. Despite being connected by Ethernet cable, my machine could not access the IP address reserved for the router.
The reply is: "Safari can’t connect to the server.
Safari can’t open the page “http://192.168.2.1/” because Safari can’t connect to the server “192.168.2.1”."
We tried Firefox and the same happened.
I have deactivated my firewall, rebooted, changed cables, restarted the router, got Safari to pretend to be Explorer, got the neighbor's dog to bark at it, everything except make a blood pact with the devil, and the two browsers on my machine think that 192.168.2.1 is an external address- which it isn't, and of course fails to connect.
The technician used his laptop to configure the thing, so I can access the internet (obviously) but I must find out why I can't access the router/modem's settings, if only to find some logical reason for this illogical behavior.
I've tried looking this issue up, and I get lots of bad wiring, wireless connection, windows proprietary shenanigans, but none that explain my situation.
I'd appreciate it if someone could help me make sense of this.
My setup:
Computer Model Name: Power Mac G4 (AGP graphics)
Model Identifier: PowerMac3,1
Processor Name: PowerPC G4 (3.3)
Processor Speed: 1.35 GHz
Number Of CPUs: 1
L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
L3 Cache (per CPU): 2 MB
Memory: 832 MB
Bus Speed: 100 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.2.8f1
Sales Order Number: M7827LL/A
Router: "2-Wire Gateway"

Your advice did the job quite nicely and it seems this is the "natural way of things," but I was totally unaware of it since my previous modems were preconfigured and I never had to muck about with subnets and such things.
What irks me is that this is basic, bare bones information that the Tech support people should have given me right off the bat. Why do they assume I have all the right numbers input into the Ethernet or PPPoE settings? They seemed totally perplexed that I couldn't connect, and frankly so was I- since my old Mac, as decrepit as it is, is still able to kick it with the modern way of things better than most computers I work with.
If they had asked me if I had set the right IP's in the right slots, it could have been fixed in 2 minutes.
Thank you very much for solving my problem, it saves me a lot of stress and confusion.

Can't change print settings on HP C4280

Hi everyone, I can't change the print settings on my HP C4280 printer. I click the third drop down (Copies & Pages) menu after clicking print on a word document or webpage and I am able to see all the options (paper handling, scheduler, etc.- . I am also able to see advanced setting after clicking everything except paper type/quality, borderless printing, and printer driver information. When I click these 3 just mentioned, the advanced settings part that is supposed to load up is just blank- ) .
I have installed the driver and all other hp junk that I downloaded again from HP's website. Anyone have an idea how to solve the issue? I'm thinking the included leopard driver is being used and not the new HP one. I've tried selecting the new driver in system preferences but I don't know where the new driver is located.
Thanks in advance. I appreciate your help since the printer guzzles ink in the standard setting.

Seems like several people are having this problem. HP was actually very knowledgeable and helpful though. A simple manual uninstall and reinstall worked for me, but here are more comprehensive instructions from HP if you're still having trouble.
The issue you are describing would require a more intensive uninstall procedure. Double-click on Macintosh HD, Applications, Hewlett-Packard, HP Uninstaller. Proceed to the second screen of the uninstall, that asks you to select the device to remove. On this screen, hold the control, option, and command buttons (the three buttons on the bottom row of the keyboard, to the left of the spacebar). While holding the buttons, click the uninstall button. An additional screen will appear with a prompt to confirm.
Be advised, when you click yes all HP software items will be completely removed from the computer. This would include all items installed for other HP devices, as well as the driver package that is preloaded in the operating system. Any other HP devices that are currently installed will have to be reinstalled using compatible versions and the driver set would need to be reloaded from the Leopard DVD if you needed it for any older HP printers.
Click on yes, the uninstall may then take several minutes. Once the uninstaller has completed, empty the trash and restart the computer. When the computer has finished restarting, double-click on Macintosh HD, Applications, Utilities, Disk Utility. In the disk utility, highlight your Macintosh HD on the right, then click repair disk permissions on the right. The disk permissions repair may also take several minutes. After the repair is complete, close all windows and restart the computer again.
You would then be ready to reinstall the HP software. For your operating system version, you are recommended to only install the software version 9.7.1. Which is a comprehensive installation and includes the update item as well as support for 10.5.2. If you no longer have the file you previously download, it is not version 9.7.1, or you are unsure as to which version it is, then you may download the software from our site at the following link.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-55008-2 &lc=en&cc=us&product=3192753&os=219&dlc=en&lang=en
This should resolve the issue. If you need further assistance, please reply to this message and we will be happy to assist you further.

Can you save print settings with a PDF?

I have an 8.5"x14" PDF. Is there anyway to save default print settings with this PDF so if a user opens it on their machine it defaults to printing to 8.5"x14" paper? Right now it always defaults to the standard 8.5"x11". I'm not sure this can be done because it seems like more of a specific users machine thing. I don't think you can save print settings with a PDF can you?
Thanks!

The "auto-formatting" of a hardcopy print format is generally the realm of the output device, in this case the printer. Printer software gereally includes an auto-format feature that selects the proper bin. For those who only have a "letter" tray, it usually asks to feed the right format manually, or switch trays. This is not a PDF feature but an output device feature.
Hope this helps.

Can I adjust print settings when I use AirPrint?

Hi
I have a MFC-J430W Brother printer set up for Airprint.
When I use Airprint on my ipads or iphones it always comes out in color.
Is there a way to adjust my print settings when using my mobile devices?
I wasn't sure where to place this question. Since the printer is connected to my iMac I am parking it here.
Brother support is underwhelming. But I've noticed the same limitation with other brand Airprint printers.
Thanks

Printing from an iOS device does not give you controls for the print, all you can do is send something to the AirPrint printer. AirPrint is a pretty fundamental level print system.

Can I access printer options using airprint from my ipad?

How can I access airprint printer options, such as cancel or page setup?

You can cancel a print job from the Print Monitor. On the AirPrint Basics web page take a look at the
Viewing the Print Queue
section.
There is no page setup in iOS. Some apps such as Pages let you pick a page size. Some apps fo not.
