HP Designjet PDE can't be loaded in PS CS5 (can't choose paper type)

In Photoshop CS4 we used to be able to use HP's PDE to choose paper types among other things. In Photoshop CS5 we get the error:
"The bundle 'hp_designjet_pde' couldn't be loaded because it doesn't contain a version for the current architecture. Contact the bundle's creator listed here for the latest version. hp designjet PDE v4.1.0"
The PDE works great in Illustrator and other CS5 applications, just not Photoshop.
This is running Design Premium CS5 on OS X Snow Leopard with an HP DesignJet 130nr.
Any ideas why this is happening, or how to get Photoshop CS5 to recognize the HP drivers?
Thanks!

Thanks! That was 100% accurate and fixed some filter problems too!
Right Click (but dontt tell Steve Jobs) > Get Info, run in 32-bit mode.
Works great!

Can't select paper type or output quality when printing from new imac....

Not sure if I'm in the right place to post this question....
When I try to print (from ANY app; Photoshop, InDesign, etc.) to my hp business jet inkjet printer, I get a print menu, but no where on the print menu (or any pulldown tabs) do I have an opportunity to select paper type or output quality. I am unable to print photos, for example.
The printer worked fine with the old PC; there is no driver to d/l for mac.
Only from iPhoto can I select paper type (from a limited number of choices), but not from any other app on my imac. I mostly use InDesign and print flyers and brochures, many with photos, and can't select anything other than plain paper. Do I need a new printer? Genius bar 'help' said they had no idea why it wasn't working....
HELP!!!
Thanks!

Hi Duane,
Yes, I opened the Printer Driver package, and then pulled up my test InDesign file and selected File>Print, and here's the screen i get: (hope this works, I'm trying Skitch for the first time)...

I've clicked on each topic on the left on the Print menu, and still there is no where to select paper type or output resolution.
The same thing happens when I print from Photoshop.
Thanks.

Can't select paper types

(Mac OSX 10.5.2, LR 1.3.1) Going crazy trying to figure this out. Somewhere around the time HP updated drivers for the Photosmart Pro B8350, I lost the ability to select anything but one paper type. As a result, none of my prints are coming out properly whereas they were perfect before. I've totally removed both the HP software and Lightroom, and started all over again. Bottom line is that only one paper type will show up in Lightroom when I select managed by application.
When I click the profile drop-down menu from the main Print module, I'm presented with two choices: Premium Plus photo (tricolor+grey) and Premium Paper (tricolor+grey). I used to be able to select from a bunch of options. OK, so I use the third menu option, which is Other and gives me a list of profiles to appear in the custom profile popup. I see Advanced Photo Glossy, and check it.
Now I can select it, but when I hit Print... and the printing dialog comes up and I double-check Paper Type/Quality, the only thing that shows is "Premium Plus Photo Paper" and all of the other options, including Advanced, are greyed-out.
I do see that there seems to be some confusion/changes or something related to where printing components are installed. I see that in ~/user/library/colorsync/profiles, things from my previous color printer. The HP stuff all installed in /Library/Printers/hp/Profiles/Photosmart and /Library/Printers/hp/Profiles/business-inkjet
Now that I look at it, the only profiles that sort match my printer name (HP PSPro B8300) are in the business-inkjet folder - NOT the photosmart folder. That doesn't seem right; this isn't a business inkjet printer, it's a photo printer.
I put some screenshots here: http://web.mac.com/vincentdistefano/HP-Lightroom/printing_problems.html
Is this a Lightroom problem? An HP problem? Mac? Very frustrating, as this used to work flawlessly. In fact my print dialogs still have all the nice presets I had set up before, but of course none of them work now.
Any help greatly, greatly appreciated.

Hi John, Thanks for the tip. I will try that next. Below is a crash log. I printed to the 2200 from Photoshop, then in the print dialog tried to go to "color management" to turn color management off (I am getting magenta prints due to double profiling).

AWM 10.2.0.1 - I can not choosing Value Based hierarchy

I have Oracle client 10.2.0.1 software with AWM 10.2.0.1 . I want to build a dimension with value-based hierarchy . In AWM I have hierarchy editor with the two radio buttons for choosing type of hierachy : Level Based hierarchy and Value Based hierarchy . But the secod one (Value Based hierarchy) is disabled - I can not choosing this type of hierarchy . Why this?
Thanks in advance,
Aurel

Hi there,
I really would not recommend that you work with the 10.2.0.1 version of AWM. This version is fairly old now and there have been a number of important bug fixes added to more recent releases.
What version of the Oracle database are you running? And on what operating system?
I suggest that you consult the following link and ensure that you are working with the versions of BOTH database and AWM that are recommended by Oracle:

How can I choose ringtones instead of pre-loaded sounds for alarms

I have a bunch of questions. First, how can I choose ringtones (my last phone had a category called "tones") and other purchased sounds instead of the pre-loaded sounds for my alarms, text message alerts, etc.? Thanks.

Apple no longer sells ringtones... Besides you never needed to buy them because they're easy to make! All you need is DRM free music (burned from cd, iTunes +). Read this link for instructions:

Hi keciakh,
To try and get the paper to feed, with a flashlight or other bright light, please check the paper feed area of the printer and verify that there are no paper jams or obstructions in the printer that may be causing the error. Once this has been done, please look inside of the printer where the inks are located and ensure that there are no obstructions in there that may be causing the print head not to move freely. Next, please remove and reseat all of the ink tanks in the printer. Once all of these steps have been performed, please follow the steps below to perform a roller cleaning on the printer:
You need to prepare: three sheets of A4 or Letter-sized plain paper
1. Make sure that the power is turned on.
2. Open the paper output tray gently.
3. Select Roller cleaning.
(1) Press the MENU button.
(2) Select Setup, then press the OK button. The setup menu screen will appear.
(3) Select Maintenance, then press the OK button. The Maintenance screen will appear.
(4) Select Roller cleaning, then press the OK button.
The confirmation screen will appear.
(5) Select Yes, then press the OK button.
(6) Select the paper source to clean (Rear tray or Cassette), then press the OK button.
4. Clean the paper feed roller without paper.
(1) Follow the message to remove any paper from the paper source you selected in (6) of step 3.
(2) Press the OK button. The paper feed roller will rotate as it is cleaned.
5. Clean the paper feed roller with paper.

Can I choose a backup-font for missing characters in a style? Or is there a way to select pink areas

I have to layout tons of UTF 8 data from a MySQL database.
There is one problem. The designer picked a font that does not contain the Japanese characters. But there is much inline-Japanese in the text.
So the imported text has many pink areas (characters not present in font).
So I search for any of the following options:
Is there a way to define a fall-back font (like webbrowsers do). If you view UTF in TextEdit (mac) or in the browser, all weird characters are displayed using Osaka. Is there a way to let Indesign replace pink squares with Osaka?
Is there a way to SELECT all pink squares, and apply a character-style to them? That way I can create a characterstyle with the Osaka font
Is there a way to have InDesign parse some sort of markup-elements in plain text? I could tweak the MySQL output with PHP to wrap all strange symbols in a markup-item like [japanese]blabla[/japanese]. If that would be converted to characterstyle "Japanese" on import, I would be helped a lot as well.
The font hack: is there a way to load all available characters in the designfont into Osaka and replace those characters and make Osaka2? Or would that result in a mess?
I think some automation to get a character style on the pink areas is the best, as that allows to tweak font height and baseline shift to match the other font.
Does anybody know one of the four or maybe a fifth way to tackle my problem?

Thanks for standing in for me, Peter - we were hosting the extended family, I did nothing but cook for hours.

This is what I'd do, honestly. It depends on your available output-from-DB formats, and what you're placing/importing into ID. But if you're placing raw text (?) then you can't simply use Type -> Find Font, so the GREP solutions offered here are good ones.
I think some automation to get a character style on the pink areas is the best, as that allows to tweak font height and baseline shift to match the other font.
Note that the "baseline" in Japanese is not the same place as the baseline in Latin-script. Japanese doesn't really have a baseline - they operate with a completely separate set of typographical conventions - but the effect is that you should not line up the bottom of your Japanese glyphs with the Latin-script baseline. Set some bilingual text in a good font (Kozuka Mincho Pro, it came with ID, you probably already have it installed) and take a look.
it is very important that you have the correct glyphs or you risk changing the meanings or making the author look like an idiot. If you don't read Japanese you would be well advised to have the document checked by someone who does to be sure it reads OK before it goes into the wild.
Chances that you'll make something completely illegible are minimal when handling Japanese, but there are a very large number of reasons why you can't just flow Japanese into English-language ID and expect it to work. There are permissible places to wrap Japanese, and places where it's not permissible. The paragraph composer you'd be using if you are using English-language ID will happily break Japanese in the wrong place. This is analagous to bad hyphenation, but looks far more idiotic to the Japanese readership than bad hyphenation looks to an English-language readership (who probably wouldn't notice bad hyphenation unlesss they happen to be a design-savvy readership). Look into using something like Japanese Indesign or World Tools Pro or the TransPacific Digital Japanese-composer template files.

CS5 install on case-sensitive file system - can't choose different drive (Mac OS)

I just upgraded my macbook pro to a new drive and 10.6, and chose 'case sensitive' HFSX, 'cause I'm a heavy command line user and wanted the maximum BASH experience.
I'm trying to install the CS5 demo to try some web design tools, and the installer immediately says "Installation to case-sensitive drives is not supported. Please choose a different drive location to install." So case-sensitive drives aren't supported; crappy but fair enough.
The error message leads me to think that I can just choose a non-case-sensitive drive to install to, but I never get a chance to pick one - I click on the installer and it goes straight to the error message.
So - how do I pick a different drive to install to? Am I just an idoit, is there no way to select a different drive, or will it not install on a system that even BOOTS from a c.s. drive, regardless of the format of the drive that CS5 is installed to?
I called the support number, and the poor fellow on the other end suggested I re-download the demo, and if the new download fails call Apple support to report my 'drive error'.
I'm hoping to avoid an entire backup-reformat-restore and lose CLI compatibility just to try some demo software.

That is part of why I would prefer case sensitive by default.   I know some server packages do the folding for you, same as some web servers do not differentiate between 'htm' and 'html' when people type in requests, but most of the time the backend server is going to be case sensitive and it is not safe to assume (or hope) that the service will fix things. Compensating for mistakes is fine, but allowing such silent corruption is not a terribly laudable things and it encourage people be careless.
Every once in a while I do encounter someone submitting some work where their configuration values and file names do not match, and 'well my laptop silently fixes it for me since it does not care' is a poor excuse. And if I sent broken filenames upstream or even worse commit them to be used on a server, that is a pretty significant professional failure.
Back to Adobe specifically, I have been trying the suggestion on poster mentioned in where one installs the Adobe applications to a case insensitive drive then copy over the installed files. This does not quite work out of the box, but for reasons I would be hard pressed to believe are Apple's fault.
For instance the first error I encounter is the inability of Bridge to load:
"@executable_path/../Frameworks/WRServices.framework/Versions/A/WRServices"
When I go look inside the app directories I can see that in Bridge the file has been named 'awrservices', but in Illustrator it is correctly named AWRServices.   So it looks more like a problem in whatever version control they are using. The only way I can picture (which my adminitialy limited knowledge of what I am sure is a large and complex project with all sorts of legacy issues) that the installer toolchain factors in as a problem is if they have mismatches in their own scripts/packaging and have been depending on HFS's bad behavior to hide the problem. I can understand not wanting to invest the time to pay down the technical debt on such an issue, but having such errors in your configuration causes long term headaches.
And I say this as someone who worked on just such a project, moving a software suite that had legacy code stretching back longer than Adobe has existed as a company. This conversion included moving from a case insenstive filesystem to a case sensitive one and yeah, there were lots of problems that the old FAT32 system hid from us, but it really paid off over the long run to fix them rather than try to twist the code to compensate.
Having said that, if the problem is really that they do not want to go update their filenames (in version control or config files), then you can always add folding to your loaders. I have had to do that a few times due to upstream people developing on case insensitive systems and sending data files with incorrect file names. This is an old class of problem, and while I can empathize with the struggles project managers have trying to get approval for paying down technical debt, the problem never gets better on its own and usually gets worse.
Which is why I responded with so much grump to the 'I never needed it' argument since that is exactly the type of customer comment that marketing tends to point to in order to push such things off the schedule. This is the type of thing where the customer does not really know what they want because they are already accustomed to broken behavior and most of the problems are hidden from their immediate view. It is easy to cover up the limitations since modern UI (and their search capabilities) can handle this.
It is not just arcane developers stuff, and it is the same transition that people have made with things like spaces, quotes, and parentheses, where years ago users believed they had no need for them since they were not using them, but they were only not using them because they did not work.   Today try to tell a modern user they can not put (, ", ) or even ' ' in their filenames and they would rightly question why this piece of obvious functionality is not working since today they are used to it working and no longer automatically compensate for it.
I also find it ironic that by default OSX hides a number of file extensions, so from the user's perspective you can have multiple files with the exact same name displayed to them, so you can get display issues where 'foo' is the same as 'foO' if both have .txt, but 'foo' and 'foO' are not the same if one has .txt while the other is .pdf. Add to this confusion cases like 'foo.txt' and 'foo.pdf" both being shortened to 'foo'.

Can't choose bootable partition at startup

Apart from what I'm about to say, my system is working just fine. It boots up quickly, loads the desktop, and runs all apps snappily. It receives regular maintenance with both TechTool Pro 4 and Diskwarrior with no issues.
When I attempt to boot up from my new Maxtor bootable partition by holding down the option key on start up, it doesn't show up as a choice (firewire of course). I can only see the main HD as well as my Techtool pro edrive. However, the animated watch icon that appears while it loads whatever it needs to before a choice can be made now never stops and no choice can be made this way at all!
But if I boot up into the main HD as normal, choose 'startup disk' from system prefs, I can see the bootable partition just fine, and can choose to restart from it - which I've done successfully.
Running FSCK in single user mode reveals no problems, but, since installing the Maxtor files, before single user mode finishes installing, I get this:
USB optical mouse: family specific matching fails
USB drive: family specific matching fails
Each shows up 10 or 12 times as it tries to make the match. There are others in the list but they scroll too quickly to make a note of.
It also shows:
Com.Maxtor.IOPowSec.00 overriding init
So suspecting the Maxtor files had something to do with it I uninstalled them and restarted with/without the drive attached. The 'family specific' issues disappeared as well as the 'Com.Maxtor.IOPowSec.00 overriding init' . Instead I get these three:
Com.apple.driver.keylargoATA
Com.apple.driver.pioneersuperdrive
Com.apple.driver.itunesphonedriver
has no kernal dependency
Holding the option key on startup still doesn't show the maxtor, and I still can't choose from the drives that do appear.
When I boot into the main HD, the Maxtor shows up on the desktop as normal even though the driver files are gone (it's obviously plug & play anyway) and whatever this lack of kernal dependency is, nothing appears to be affected in the Mac's normal use.
Sorry for the lengthy explanation but I'm hoping somebody can shed some light on what might be happening.

Yes, I'm at a loss here. sudo wants /var/run/sudo to be owned by root and writable only by root, but yours is OK, so I really don't understand what the meaning of those error messages could be in your case.
The only thing I can suggest at this point is to enable the root user in NetInfo Manager (Security > Authenticate..., then Security > Enable Root User), log in as root, and issue the commands there (without the sudo prefix, which is not needed when logged in as root):
bless --info "/Volumes/<MaxtorVolumeName>/" --verboseWhat does the output of this command say?
bless --setBoot --folder "/Volumes/<MaxtorVolumeName>/System/Library/CoreServices"
Regardless of whether this helps you to fix the bootable Maxtor partition problem, there is something awry going on here and at this point I would start considering an Archive and Install, unless someone more knowledgeable than me knows how to fix it (it should be fixed). Just out of curiosity, after having enabled the root user in NetInfo Manager, try to run the following command in your administrator user account:
sudo -vDoes it still output those error messages?

CS6 Pshop - Loading brushes from CS5.5

I have brush selections in CS5.5 which are not in CS6. Do I simply "Load" them from CS5.5 or drag them into Brushes folder (6).
Will 5.5 brushes even function on 6? thanks
icfives

thanks. This worked. However one custom brush I created, as instructed in a Photoshop tutorial for making backgrounds, does not show in the 5.5 folder when I try to Load into 6 while in 6.
The other non-default brushes (flames), downloaded from a site, DID Load into 6.
Screen captures indicate brushes list in 5.5 & 6. You can see the custom flames brushes DID Load from 5.5 into 6 (first 3).
Also see them in screen capture 6 numbers 256 - 400 fourth column.
But the "Rec Brush" in 5.5 list doesn't even show up in 6 in order to Load it.
BTW what's the M Brushes (5.5 list)? Don't see that in 6.
thanks for ideas....

Can't see some type of orders from VBAK table in 2LIS_11_VAITM

Hi
What could be the reason that I I can't see some type of orders from VBAK table in 2LIS_11_VAITM extractor.
(VBAK-vbtyp.)
Thanks a lot
Pawel

Hi,
Go to RSA3, put your extractor name and check if there is any selection field for order type, if it is there then simply put the required order type and check the data.
Otherwise you can simply put the document number with the required order type and check if the data is coming for that in RSA3 or not, if not then simply debug the extractor and check why it is not coming?
Finally you can have one more approach, simply extract all the data in Full load in infopackage then go to PSA table and there you can try to filter your records based on order type.
