CS3 Print Screen Performance

In general the performance of CS3 is suffient for everything except when I go to print. It takes over 2 minutes for the "Print" Window to come up. I've done some online research and have made some recommended settings chnages that are suppose to improve performance, but nothing is working for this particular issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I presume you mean the Print dialog?
This is a known bug and has been reported many times in the forum.
The solution, weird as it sounds, is to make a generic printer driver your default printer. If you don't have one, download it here:

All part of the fascinating world of Photoshop CS3.

Printing problems with CS3- Prints dont match what is on screen

My prints dont match what i am seeing on the screen when using CS3. I am using windows xp and printing on a epson 7800. I never had this problem before i started using CS3. I have calibrated my monitor.
I have the standard version of CS3 not the extended.
I read a arctical that CS3 prints darker then what is on your screen. The solution if you have CS3 extended is to increase lightness just before printing, but what if you dont have the extended version, what do you do?
I couldnt find this topic on the forum here. I am sure others must have had this problem too. What is my solution?
Thanks in advance

There are a bunch of things that can affect the difference between what you see on screen and what you get in print. It is not enough to just look at calibration. Calibration is a starting point. Here are some things that may affect your result:
* Your monitor type
* Your PC type (laptops may not be best for image correction)
* Your calibration device
* The lighting in the area you work in
* Choices made while calibrating
* Proper setup for using the ICC profile (e.g., you aren't running conflicting software)
* Proper color management setup
* Smart choice in color space / working space selection
* Sensible choices for any other color management changes (if any)
* Careful use of on screen proofing settings
* Sensible choice for color management in capture (on camera or with scanner)
* Smart use of color profiling
* Good choice of printing materials / inks (as applicable)
* Good choice of equipment for printing
* Proper maintenance of printing equipment
I'm probably missing a few there, but I'll work on it. The best scheme I think is to keep things as simple as possible. Especially if you are having trouble, eliminate variables. When you get things working as you expect, then you can try to get a little more fancy. However, every variable you add will come with drawbacks in one form or another. Freeagent seems to make some sense here...

Is it possible to perform a print screen from an af:commandButton?

Is it possible to perform a print screen from an af:commandButton?

You have a program in your applications/utilities folder called "Grab". Open it and you can copy an entire screen or a selection and save it into various formats. (I.E. Jpeg image).
or.........
• To take a picture of the whole screen, press Command-Shift-3.
• To take a picture of part of the screen, press Command-Shift-4, then drag to select the area you want in the picture.
• To take a picture of a window, the menu bar, the Dock, or other area, press Command-Shift-4, then press the Space bar. Move the pointer over the area you want so that it's highlighted, then click. If you decide you want to drag to select the area, press the Space bar again.
• If you press Command-Shift-4 and decide you don't want to take the screen shot, press the Escape key.
• Screen shots are saved as files on the desktop. If you want to put the screen shot in the Clipboard, rather than create a file, hold down the Control key when you press the other keys. You can then paste the picture into a document

Print Screen Opens on Page Immediately - How do I stop it?

Hi,
First I'd like to thank blarman74 and Andy because I worked off of the information on this thread:
Autoprint Print Friendly Page
Autoprint Print-Friendly Page
I created a Button: URL call to javascript:PrintPopup()
I put this code in the report's HTML Header:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function PrintPopup () {
var url;
url = 'f?p=&APP_ID.:2004:&SESSION.::::::YES';
w = open(url,"winLov","Scrollbars=1,resizable=1,width=900,height=1000");
if (w.opener == null)
w.opener = self;
w.focus();
</script>
And in the report's Region Footer I put this code:
<script type="text/javascript">
window.print();
</script>
Now, here is the problem. When I first open page 2004, the print screen opens immediately. I have to close it before I can see page 2004. Then I click the button with the URL call and the printer friendly page opens with the print screen on top. This part is good. That works beautifully.
How do I stop the print screen from opening when I first open page 2004? I figure there is some setting I am missing or perhaps a piece of code somewhere.
Thanks,
Maggie

You could put the winpopup code in the footer of the printerfriendly template.
#FORM_CLOSE#</body>
</html>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.print();
</script>
I then have a navigation bar which has:
target type: A page in this application
&APP_PAGE_ID.
And printer friendly check box checked.
You can then print the current page from the navigation bar.
I don't use a button, but essentially you just want your action to be performed when the button is submitted.

How to use Print Screen function?

I've seen various descriptions of how to use the print screen function.
It would be nice to actually be told one that works. None have worked for me.
[Fn] and Prt SCr does not work.
Ctrl and Prt SCr does not work.
Ctrl, Alt, and Prt SCr does not work.
[Fn], Ctrl, and Prt SCr does not work.
If anyone knows the correct method of activating the print screen function that would be good.
From the looks of things HP has a big problem with this function.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

On my notebook, the Insert key and the prt sc key are the same key, but the prt sc has a ring, around it, if you know what I mean.
On the bottom left of my keyboard is a key that has fn with a ring around it, or I guess you could say it is in a little box. By the way, there are a number of keys that have two functions on them, and to activate the second function, you must press the fn key at the same time as the desired function on the key. In this case press the fn key and the prt scr key, and that puts an image of the screen on the clip board and then it can be pasted into Word or where ever.
Here is somethine else you might like, if you can get it to work as I described above.
To print only the active window, and not the entire desktop or the entire screen, you can do that by pressing the alt and prt sc at the same time. Then it only captures to the clip board the window, and not the entire desktop. Oh, and in the scenario with the fn key, it has to be pressed also, so actually it's pressing the fn and alt and print screen all at once.
I just performed each of the instructions above, and they worked well on my EliteBook 8440.
Hopefully you have the same experience,

CS2 vs CS3 printing to Epson 3800

In trying to diagnose a Photoshop/11880 printing problem, I made some test prints to an Epson 3800 from the same test file. Andrew Rodney's "printer test" image includes very smooth color gradations R > M > B > C > G > Y > R. This image was printed from PS CS2, PS CS3 and Lightroom to the Epson 3800 on Epson Premium Semigloss Photo paper using Epson's Pro38PSPP profile. The CS2 and Lightroom prints were identical. The transitions in the color gradations were very smooth. The CS3 print was very close in overall color balance, but the transitions in the gradations were not as smooth, or gradual, especially between magenta and blue, and between green and yellow. Shouldn't prints of the same file from CS2 and CS3, using the same profile, look identical? The on-screen soft proofs in CS2 and CS3 look identical, but the prints do not.
4 x 2.5 GHz PowerPC G5.
4.5 GB RAM.
OS X 10.4.11.
Photoshop CS2 9.0.2
Photoshop CS3 10.0.1.
Lightroom 1.2
Epson 3800, Driver Version 3.57
Direct USB connection.
Epson profiles are located in driver package (as installed).
Epson Semigloss Photo Paper 250.
Photoshop Manages Color, Epson Pro38PSPP profile.

Yes, all settings were the same. I got official word from Epson today there are problems with CS3. Epson, Apple and Adobe tech people are meeting in a few weeks to find a solution. In the meantime, all printing from my Macs to the 3800 and 11880 will be from CS2 and Lightroom. Thanks for your input.

Printer screen frozen after replacing ink cartridge

My Cyan ink cartridge was empty. I replaced it. The printer screen is stuck on the message "Genuine HP ink cartridges installed" with an "OK" at the bottom. Does not respond to pressing OK. The printer is clunking and chunking for a while, then does nothing. The message never changes. I've powered off and on multiple times. Unplugged the power cord from both ends. Tried to reinitialize software, but can't do it because the screen is unavailable for me to perform the tasks necessary. Help!? (Please)

Photoshop Print Screen/Paste colors not working any more

System. Windows 7 Professional 64 bit with Adobe CS4
One thing I do all the time is this:
Have something like Windows Internet Explorer open on a web page.
I want a screen shot of Windows IE. So I press Ctrl-Alt-Print Screen.
Then I open Adobe Photoshop CS4 (11.0.2) and go File/New and accept all the defaults.
Then I press Ctrl-V to paste in the screen capture.
Pretty standard stuff and it used to work fine. But recently it stopped working. Now when I paste, the colors displayed in Photoshop for the screen capture are all off. However if I save the file as a GIF or something, and open the GIF outside of photoshop, it's all good.
I've tried all sorts of things to fix this. Nothing seems to work.
Anyone know what is really going on here? This seems to have happened after performing some Windows updates.

So how do I set up a "good custom monitor profile"?
This is why people calibrate and profile their monitors. If you had a calibrator this wouldn't be a problem (and they're not that expensive).
What you need is a profile that accurately describes the behavior of your particular monitor. Chances are the Dell profile does that better than sRGB, and a custom profile from a calibrator would be even better. Then Photoshop, which is color managed, will use that profile to display the image - but Internet Explorer, which is not (or not fully) color managed, will not use the profile.
So there will be a difference between the two right there, and Photoshop will be right, and IE wrong.
The way this works is similar to any other profile conversion, like when you convert a document from, say, Adobe RGB to sRGB. Photoshop converts from the document profile to the monitor profile, on the fly, as it displays the image. This way it compensates for the peculiarities of your monitor and what you see is what the file "really" looks like.
So you can see what happens if your document profile is sRGB, and your monitor profile is sRGB: nothing happens. No profile conversion, no color management. This way Photoshop behaves exactly as Internet Explorer does. Everything you see on-screen, color managed or not color managed, will match. But it won't be right. One way to simulate this (with a good monitor profile) is to proof to Monitor RGB.
As for the screenshot: when you paste that into a new document, the RGB numbers will refer to the monitor profile, not the document profile. This is why you assign the monitor profile to make it look like the original. Then you convert that to sRGB (or Adobe RGB etc) to bring it into a standard color space.

How can I make a "print screen" on my iMac?

How can I make a Print Screen of my iMac? Also catching only a portion of the video?

Hello redlion53,
It sounds like you would like to take screenshots of either the entire screen or a portion of the screen. This article outlines how to perform this function:
OS X: Taking pictures of your screen
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5775
Take a picture of your entire screen
Press Command (⌘)-Shift-3. The screen shot is added to your desktop.
Take a picture of some of your screen
Press Command (⌘)-Shift-4, and then drag the crosshair pointer to select the area. Hold Shift, Option, or the Space bar while you drag to resize the selection area. To cancel, press Escape (esc) before you release the mouse button.
Take a picture of a specific window
Press Command (⌘)-Shift-4, press the Space bar, move the camera pointer over the window to highlight it, and then click.
This works with open Finder windows and most application windows.
To cancel, press Escape (esc) before you click.
Take a picture of a menu
Click the menu to reveal its contents, then press Command (⌘)-Shift-4 and drag the crosshair pointer over the area.
To take a picture of the menu without the title, hover over the menu, press Command (⌘)-Shift-4 and the Space bar.
To cancel, press Escape (esc) before you click.
Additional Information
In Mac OS X v10.6 and later, the screenshots are saved as PNG files on the desktop. They are automatically named "Screen shot (date and time).png".
You can also take pictures of the screen using the Grab app.
Some apps, such as DVD Player, may not let you take pictures of their windows.
To capture a partial screen or a window selection to the Clipboard instead of a desktop file, use Command-Shift-Control-4.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Mac hardware: How do i print screen on a PC with a Mac Keyboard??

I have a Apple Mac Pro, but when I'm booted directly into Windows Vista (using Boot Camp) how do I do a Print Screen?
The Apple Keyboard is missing the "Print Screen", "Scroll Lock", and "Pause/Break" keys that a normal PC Keyboard has.
I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate x64, and apparently this issue has NEVER been addressed or fixed by Apple, because I've seen posts dating back over 4 1/2 years on this same issue/problem, and I've seen fixes for Windows XP, but nothing for Vista. I found this article addressing the issue:
http://forums.cnet.com/5208-7592_102-0.html?forumID=25&threadID=12105&messageID= 137974
I did find this software application, but it only works on Windows XP (not Vista):
http://www.dieselstation.com/software/
Is there any Easy way to Map and allow the use of Apple keyboards in Windows Vista?
AppleKeys allows the use of Apple keyboards on a Windows machine. It properly emulates the F13 - F15 keys to "print screen, scroll lock, and pause/break" accordingly.
Why hasn't Apple just added a "Keyboard Emulator" in the Boot Camp client that gets installed Vista? I'm currently running Boot Camp client version 2.1, why doesn't Apple just add a keyboard emulator/keyboard mapper inside the Boot Camp version 2.1 client?
This way the F13-F15 keys will automatically emulate the "print screen, scroll lock, and pause/break" keys properly like on a PC keyboard.
I've searched everything, and this has turned into such a time consume and HEADACHE of a project, and I'm really disappointed that Apple has "dropped the ball" on something so simple.
If a third party person, had to create the "Apple Keys" program (to run under Windows XP) you'd think that this is a problem, and that Apple would finally address this problem?
Could someone from Apple, please take the time and fix this? At least copy, or make something similar to the "Apple Keys" program that automatically install inside the Boot Camp client, so when a person installs Windows Vista, and the Boot Camp client installs inside Windows Vista it will automatically run a keyboard emulator (similar to Apple Keys) so that you can properly use the F13-F15 keys on the Apple Keyboard as "Print Screen", "Scroll Lock" and "Pause/Break".
Could Apple do this, and push out a Boot Camp Version 2.2 update with this feature added to Boot Camp? I would greatly appreciate it, as would most of the other Windows Vista users I'm sure.
Apple Keys does not work for Windows Vista, only Windows XP and I've been unable to find an alternative Fix, and I wish that Apple developers would just get off their tail and finally FIX this problem!
C'mon guys, you've known about this 4 1/2+ years, and why does it take some third-party person to create an application like "Apple Keys" just to fix the issue?
Well the author of that program is no longer available, the website is gone, and I've been unable to find a way to contact him (or ask him to update his program for Windows Vista), but all these headaches shouldn't be necessary. All this stuff should just "WORK" right out of the box, and Apple developers really should have thought of this, and just added something this simple to Boot Camp plugin/client, that way when the Boot Camp 2.1 installs inside of Windows Vista, it will install the Apple Keyboard Emulator which will automatically emulate the PC keyboard, and emulate the F13-F15 keys as "Print Screen, Scroll Lock, Pause/Break". The normal PC keyboard doesn't even have a "F13-F15 keys" and only goes up to F12, so you would think that Apple could just do something SIMPLE like emulate the keys on the PC Keyboard, and just use the F13-F15 keys as the "Print Screen, Scroll Lock, and Pause/Break" keys.
I would greatly appreciate it if a Apple Developer could begin working on this, and just push it out as a Boot Camp Version 2.2 update. So that it will fix these problems for all Apple/Windows Boot Camp users running Vista.
Thank-you!

AppleKeys allows the use of Apple keyboards on a Windows machine. It properly emulates the F13 - F15 keys to "print screen, scroll lock, and pause/break" accordingly. Unfortunately AppleKeys only works on Windows XP and earlier, and it has been discontinued by the author.
Why hasn't something as simple as this been addressed or FIXED by Apple?
Why hasn't Apple just added a simple "Keyboard Emulator" (identical to AppleKeys) inside the Boot Camp client that automatically gets installed on Vista or Windows XP? I'm currently running Boot Camp client version 2.1 in Vista Ultimate x64, why doesn't Apple just add a keyboard emulator/keyboard mapper inside the Boot Camp version 2.1 client? So that the Apple Keyboard properly emulates the F13 - F15 keys to "print screen, scroll lock, and pause/break" automatically when the Boot Camp client is installed in Vista?
Are the Apple Developers "sleeping on the job"? Surely something SO SIMPLE wouldn't be hard to add or fix. VMWare Tools guys seem to do a great job, I would think that Apple would begin working on a fix for this, and finally address the issue and fix this. Give us a client application that we can install that will work on Windows XP and Windows Vista that will allow our Apple Keyboards to map/emulate a Windows PC Keyboard inside Windows XP or Windows Vista automatically. This could easily be done when Vista installs Boot Camp client (automatically) inside of Vista, Apple could then install a PC Keyboard emulator to support the Apple Keyboard that would map/emulate the F13-F15 keys on a Apple keyboard to the standard "Print Screen, Scroll Lock, and Pause/Break" keys on a PC Keyboard.
C'mon Apple, please just fix this problem and make life a little easier on your users. I just bought a Mac Pro, and I'm a new Apple Mac user and I'm just really disappointed that something so simple still hasn't been addressed or FIXED by Apple. It should be automatic, and I shouldn't have to hunt and search the internet trying to find a solution, just to fix something so simple.
Apple Developers really dropped the ball here, and I would like to see them create an Apple Keyboard Client that will automatically be installed in Windows XP or Windows Vista that will properly map/emulate the PC Keyboard, so that the F13-F15 keys can be properly used as "Print Screen, Scroll Lock, Pause/Break".
Thank-you, and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE fix this issue!

Variable screen performance in BEx - post upgrade to BI7

Hello,
We have recently upgraded to BI7 - SP16. We are using the 710 gui, patch level 3. Bex version is 3.5, patch level 6.
Since we have upgraded, we have been experiencing a major performance hit when opening the variable screen of a query, as well as navigating within the variable screen. We are using the Excel version of BEx.
When we were on 3.5, opening the variable screens only took about 5 seconds, now it takes 30. To use F4 for the dropdown lists, in 3.5 it took about 3 seconds, now it takes 15. To enter multiple selections, it took 1 second, in BI7 it takes 15.
Our users, needless to say are getting very frustrated with the performance. The query execution time is comparable to when we were on 3.5.
I have this open as a high priority issue with sap, but they have yet to come up with a fix.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions?
Thanks
Charla

Print Screen Function Doesn't Work

I just purchased a new 15.4" Pavilion laptop (DV5-1235dx) and cannot get the Print Screen function to work. I've tried everything. One source tells me to hit ALT and PRTSC at the same time. Another HP help suggestion says to hit the FN and PRTSC keys. I get no copy/paste function whatsoever. I also tried the shift key and PRTSC and it was no dice on that either. On my laptop...the PRTSC and INSERT key share the same key.
A routine function like this should not be this difficult.
Anybody out there got a suggestion or two about what to try. HP Support has been, frankly, awful.

Below find two possible answers to your issue on Print Screen. I hope one or both of these help.
1. Print Screen
2. Snip
Print Screen:
Which keys one uses to get a screen print does depend on the OS (eg. Vista or Windows 7) and the keyboard hardware.
Example: HDX 18T requires a simple keystroke (PrtScn) for the Active Window and Alt - PrtScn for the Entire Window.
In the Help file for same is noted the following. See Below.
It is somewhat rude that it's not the same for everyone - it is not unknown to be the case.
Open your help files and look up "print screen" - ask if you need assistance to get to "Help".
Below find a link to the manuals that I believe are for your laptop / Notebook. Your answser may be there if you cannot find it on your system's own help files.
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DocumentIndex.jsp?contentType=SupportManual&lang=en...
Help file from an HDX 18T:
Snip:
Windows 7 has a "snip" command that one can use to grab any bit of the screen and make it into a .png file. It's quick, easy, and fast. Additionally, simple annotations can be added with a "pen" of different colors (circles, and such) to mark the picture as desired. Brilliant!. Vista may have this command as well.
Print the .png file if you need it on paper, embed it in Word, email, whatever...
Help file on Snip (shown as a "snip png file):
Good Luck!
