CD DVD print size is missing from Apple print menu options

Hi all,
I wonder if anyone has this same problem I'm trying to fix. Thanks for you input, is much appreciated.
When I bought my Canon Pixma MG 5350 that can print over blank printable CD or DVD, there was an option to choose the CD / DVD size. You could even choose to print 120 or 80 mm sizes. But after a while when I went back to print a DVD, those sizes were gone for good and there was only one size labeled something like "Disk tray G" (my system is not in English so it can be different for you).
I tried it although I didn't know how would this succeed if I had to print a small DVD and it failed. A portion of the DVD was not printed and left blank because the DVD position was moved away from the real tray size, so there was this portion not printed in the DVD but printed over the tray plastic!
I reseted the printer configuration, tried to update it and everything possible but CD / DVD sizes are just gone. I can print using the Canon software, however I'd like to use Apple printer dialog as I'd like to print from Photoshop, Illustrator, Pages etc. directly. My solution now is to export an image and print using the Canon software but this is not how it worked before.
I contacted Canon about this and they are "investigating" this. As the problem is in the generic print options in the System maybe this can be a driver problem or a change. It happens in both an iMac and a Macbook with OSX 10.9.4, everything is updated and working normally. Printer has the latest firmware and software and I reseted the print configuration in the Mac, also reseted the printer to factory defaults, etc.
Does this happen to anyone trying to print CD / DVD from the System print options? Thank you.

As far as I know, you can only print CD/DVD's on Canon's MG and MX series from Canon's Easy PhotoPrint or Image Garden applications. I've never seen a way to print from non-Canon applications. So I would say that what you are experiencing is specification and I would be interested to read if Canon came back to you with a solution.

Why is the "Send to iDVD" command missing from the share menu in iPhoto 9.4.3 when trying to send a slideshow to iDVD?

How come the "Send to iDVD" command is missing from the share menu? In iPhoto I used to be able to send my slideshows to iDVD simply my clicking on the slideshow, selecting the "Share" menu at the top and going to "Send to iDVD". Now in iPhoto 9.4.3 that option is missing.
Further i am also using iDVD 7.1.2 and running OSX version 10.8.3.
Thanks!

Export the slideshow via the Export button at the bottom of the slideshow window with Size = Medium or Large.
Open iDVD, choose a theme and drag the exported movie file to the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Photomerge command has gone missing from File Automate - menu

Was using Photomerge command successfully in PS and at some point later PS crashed and locked my Mac. I restarted and now the Photomerge command is missing from the File Menu. I asked Adobe support for help, they had me reinstall latest PS but it's still not there.
Is there anywhere in the PS Folders I can check for a file associated with this command (like there are for Scripts for example) and could possibly replace?
I also tried initiating the command from Lightroom with a set of images selected and using the relevant contextual menu and it produces an error saying Photoshop could not be launched (it is launch though).

Hi and thank you. Yes Photomerge.jsx is there in the scripts folder. Although when I go to launch other scripts from within PS using the File> Scripts… menu I get the following error:
Could not complete the Image Processor command because Photoshop was unable to find the JavaScript plug-in
How can I get it?

Anyone else having slow movie downloads from Apple TV menu?

I have problems with slow downloading movies from Apple TV menu. I'm going on 2 hours for one movie.

I was having the same problem. Trailers took forever to play and movies took 7 hours. I unplugged my cable modem and WAP/router and plugged them back in. This reset solved the problem for me. Everything's back to fast downloads.

My Printer has started missing or half printing random lines horizontally bottom half or top half

My Printer has started missing or half printing random lines horizontally. Bottom half or top half is missing . I have an Officejet Pro 750 and run Windows 7, 64 bit. For a while if I turned off normal mode and selected best, it was Ok. Now it doesn't matter which mode I use,I have done all the tests and cleaning required but no joy...Help

I have done what you suggested. However, I have to disagree with you about the 'third party' comment. Although those minor issues were on there which I picked up on shortly afterwards, they were easily removed. It hasn't CHANGED the symptoms I described about my mac. Both items are removed (growl only tends to make your mac 'lag' and that's not the problem I'm having)
I am still having all the above issues, regardless of my mac being fully minus third party items. This mac hasn't had any heavy use, or had many applications installed on it ect, there is really no reason for it to be failing. I'd understand if it was old, but it's literally only just passed being 3 years old.
If you can provide any more help that would be appreciated, thank you!

Print Preview is missing from Firefox 6 on Mac OSX Lion in both File Menu and Print Dialog Box

The question says it all really. Print Preview option is missing from both the File menu and from the Print dialog box when you select Print. I use Print Preview a lot to avoid wasting paper.
A relevant issue might be that the Mac OSX app Preview is currently having trouble with various printers including my Xerox and so, temporarily, the default application for all Preview items is now Adobe Reader until Apple get their act together. Perhaps this is affecting things?
Thanks for any help

It's moved to the PDF dropdown, "Open PDF in Preview"

Canon Printer Software 2.3 from Apple: now lists two printers

ISSUE:
I recently ran Apple Software Update, and it installed *Canon Printer software update 2.3*. I now have 2 Canon iP4300 printers in my printer list (System Prefs/Print & Fax) and in all print dialogs.
Is it OK to delete one?
These are listed:
Canon iP4300 (original)
Canon iP4300-1 (newly added and now shown as the "default" printer)
*_2nd QUESTION: EVERYTHING THE SAME EXCEPT..._*
Everything prints as usual without problems (regardless of which printer I choose), and the options and features of both listed printers appear to be the same. But there is one minor difference I want to check. In System Preference/Print & Fax, I click the "Options & Supplies" button to give me more info about the selected printer.
Canon iP4300 (the original) shows this:
Queue name: Canon_iP4300
*URL: usb://Canon/iP4300?serial=A2BD20*
Canon iP4300-1 (the newly added printer) shows this:
Queue name: CanoniP43001
*URL: usb://Canon/iP4300?location=26200000*
Does anyone know what these URLs signify and why are they different?
Thanks so much.
+P.S. I had installed all the latest drivers for my printer from the Canon web site BEFORE installing Canon update 2.3 from Apple.+

L.A.B. wrote:
The previous driver version was 10.26.0.0, which I had downloaded from Canon. (The Canon Canada Downloads site does not show a 10.26.1 for this model; the most recent is 10.26.0 -- honest; I just double-checked it today.)
The 10.26.1 driver was included with the 10.6.3 (build 10D575). Canon Australia is also only showing 10.26.0 also so I'm not sure where the .1 update came from. The vendor supplies the files to Apple so it seems that Canon has not updated their driver links to show even the latest 10.30.3.0 driver they have supplied to Apple for this model, although they have done so for other models.
Anyway, let me remedy my omission by showing all that is listed for each printer's info (System Prefs > Print & Fax > Options & Supplies > "General Tab"):
*Canon iP4300 (the original) shows this:*
Name: Canon iP4300
Location: LAB's Computer
Queue name: Canon_iP4300
Driver version: 10.30.3.0
URL: usb://Canon/iP4300?serial=A2BD20
*Canon iP4300-1 (the newly added printer) shows this:*
Name: Canon iP4300-1
Location: LAB's Computer
Queue name: CanoniP43001
Driver version: 10.30.3.0
URL: usb://Canon/iP4300?location=26200000
Thanks for the extra information. I would say now that due to the different URL of iP4300-1, the Mac believes that it is connecting to two physically different printers, hence both printer queues being present. However I have never seen a USB connected device show its URL with "location=". I have always seen it as serial for USB connections. Do you have some other device connecting between the Mac and the iP4300, such as a USB hub?
Given that both queues work and are both using the latest driver, then I suggest it would be safe to delete the iP4300-1 print queue. Although there is every chance that it may return automatically after a restart of the Mac or printer.

Why is the macbook missing from Apple online store ?

Why is the Macbook missing from the Apple Online store ? Can someone let me know what's going on ?

Gone, *poof*.
I miss it and I think Apple should have kept it around as it's low key machine, great for kids and adults who didn't like a lot of flash.
Now the 13" MacBook Pro is considered the equivalent on a similar performance basis, however it has the bright silver rich looking case that draws thieves attention and really isn't a "Pro" machine at all with it's inferior low performing integrated graphics.
Heck most $500-$800 Windows laptops are just the same in performance and has a larger 15" screen.
If you need a anti-glare screen you have to opt for the 15" or 17" MacBook Pro and pay $50 more for the anti-glare, but it's worth it. The 13" doesn't have a anti-glare option, but we are petitioning Apple to include that option.
I think Apple considered the MacBook as a educational computer, thus replaced it for a line of iPads which make considerable more margins and provides less hardware benefits as all the hardware features, stand, keyboard etc. are separate purchases.

Print center is missing from my iPadSettings scree

I am trying to delete print jobs from my iPad running the new IOs 8. The User guide says hit the Home button twice, then tap on Print Center. There is no Print Center. Double tapping Home only brings up the open apps, and Print Center is not there. What do I do? I searched for that app but it is nowhere, not even in Settings. Am I doing something wrong? Or do I need to go see a Genius? Thanks! Matthew

Printing a paginated brochure from Apple Pages

I created a paginated brochure in Apple pages. I need to print 50 copies, but every print shop that I ask says I have to save the file as pdf in Microsoft Word before they can print. How do I get my brochure printed directly from Apple pages without manually converting each page to another software program? Are there any printing business that use Apple pages? I live in Dallas, TX.

You don't need to create a pdf from Word!
Who are these people you are talking to? Did they fall on their heads as babies?
You need to search (try Google) for yourself to find a Printer with Macs. Even offer to pay for Pages if necessary, it is so cheap.

Scanner Actions & Printer Preference sections missing from Solutions Center

I have just bought a Photosmart 6510 e All-in-one. I had no problem setting it up on my laptop and easily set it up on an old desktop PC. However I noticed in the HP Solutions Centre on the laptop that two sections are missing from this - 'Scanner Actions' and 'Printer Preferences'. The only sections appearing on the laptop's page are Web connected solutions, Shopping resources, Help & Support and Privacy Disclosures. However the missing sections both appear on my desktop PC's Solutions Center. How can I get them to appear on the laptop's Solutions Center?
The Solutions Center I am referring to is the page that appears when I click on All Programs/ HP/ HP Photosmart 6510 Series/ HP Photosmart 6510 Series or the printer icon.
Desktop PC - Windows 7 Professional (32 Bit)
Laptop - Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit)
EDIT: I have completely rewritten this post, including the title as I was using the wrong terminology so hopefully it now makes more sense and I can get an answer to my problem. Maybe even an expert one!
Apologies in advance to moderators if I have done the wrong thing by rewriting this, sorry.
This question was solved.

Hi,
To clarify, HP solution center is utilized on prior models. The software title our newest models use when accessing via All Programs/ HP/ HP Photosmart 6510 Series/ HP Photosmart 6510 Series or the printer icon or the desktop icon is simply 'HP software'.
First run the following utility and let me know what results you have
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=oj-96506-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...=
Make sure you have installed the printer with the latest software - a quick uninstall - All Programs/ HP/ HP Photosmart 6510 Series/ HP Photosmart 6510 Series- uninstall and reinstall using the link below will insure this
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-100190-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...=
Do you have any anti-virus or 3rd party firewalls on the notebook? If so, what type and version info.
thanks!
I was an HP employee

TV Show Episodes on iTunes Missing from Apple TV

I've got Apple TV 2.0 and iTunes 7.6.1. Apple TV is set for automatic sync.
I bought six episodes of a TV show two days ago, but only the first two episodes appear in the list of shows. If I expand Apple TV in the devices list and look at TV Shows, it shows those first two episodes as being on the Apple TV.
Now, I've watched both episodes and I'd like to watch the 3rd, but I can't figure out how to get to it. Apple TV seems to be syncing fine with my Mac (it shows up as syncing every so often in iTunes). How can I view more episodes of this show?

Whether iTunes has synced all six episodes to your Apple TV or is planning on streaming them, all six episodes should appear on your TV. (When iTunes is running on your Mac, otherwise +only synced+ items appear on your Apple TV.) Do you have "Show only the synced items on my Apple TV" selected in iTunes, under the Summary tab?
Although I don't have a definitive answer, what I'd try is:
1) Quit and restart iTunes. Ensure that your Apple TV can see iTunes, perhaps by downloading some podcast to your Mac and verifying that you can see it on your Apple TV.
2) In iTunes, switch to Custom Sync and then go to the TV Shows tab and sync All Episodes of just that one show. Remember to press the Sync button.
3) Try restarting the Apple TV by holding both the Menu and Down arrow buttons for several seconds (six?).
4) Try playing the troublesome episodes in iTunes. Ensure that they're marked as Not New (right click the episodes and select "Mark as Not New" from the context menu).
Good luck!

HT200126 "TV Shows" icon missing from Apple TV Main Menu

It appears that the Apple TV software update 5.3 has removed the "TV Shows" icon from the main menu. Now, I no longer have AppleTV access to the TV shows I have purchased and I am unable to search/purchase other TV shows. Has anyone similar findings?
Note: Parental Controls are confirmed to have not hidden the "TV Shows" icon; in fact, the "TV Shows" icon does not appear in my Apple TV's Parental Controls settings.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
There appears to be a large increase in this type of problem at this time, it seems that that there is a problem at Apple's end, but I couldn't at all be sure.
There are no issues being reported at Apple’s System Status page, but this status may yet be updated and it may be you need to try again a little later.
This isn't affecting me here in the UK, where exactly are you.
So far I have noted users in the following locations having similar problems:
USA
If this is a problem at Apple’s end, it rarely happens, however when it does only Apple can fix it. When this has occurred previously it has usually been resolved in a few hours or slightly more.

Output Option menu is missing from the print dialogue box

I have just upgraded to the latest G5 PPC and installed OS 10.4.6 and in all applications in the Print dialogue box I cannot find the Output Options menu so I can output a postscript file, is there another patch that can be installed to add this option back into the printer settings. I didn't have this issue with 10.3.9 only in 10.4.X
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I have looked the PDF menu but I am not happy that it states "Save PDF as Postscript", this option was available before and we had issues with some of the files it created. I cannot guarantee that it is using my postscript printer descrition which I need as we need full High Res files with NO downsampling at any stage and I'm not confident this is the solution, there has the be a better way to create a postscript file.
