Illustrator 16.04, Show & Print layer option problem

When I open a Illustrator artwork file, that's been supplied, the 'Show' & 'Print' options in Layers are turned off as a default. When opening the same file on another Mac all the layers are visible to print. When I turn on the show & print options on the first 'invisible' layer all the layers suddenly view correctly. I have re-installed Illustrator, binned all the preferences and cache. Any ideas whats causing the problem.

Hello Zuc,
The problem is the lousy version CS4 that conflicts with the Lousy version CS3. I believe you have to uninstall Lousy version CS3 to make Lousy version CS4 work (or vise-versa).
But you are not alone, PC users have the same experience (they are using the same lousy software):

So you have to choose which version is less harmful. Is sad that Adobe is not longer reliable with new technology. Please let me know when CS4 gets an update. Thank you!

Print Dialogue does not show print quality options on MacBook

I am trying to print wirelessly from my Macbook Pro to a HP 5500 connected to G5. I can print no problems, but I can't control the print quality as this option does not appear in the print dialogue box.
When I print the same page from my G4 powerbook I get print quality options in the dialogue. Both laptops are running 10.4.8 and connecting wirelessly by an airport network. The printer is plugged in the G5 not an airport express.

Hi there,
As Scapesuiter has mentioned, it would be best to check the HP web site to see if there is a Universal driver for your printer. These are drivers that have been written to work on the new Intel Mac's and on the previous Power PC (PPC) Mac's.
If there isn't a Universal driver, you can still use the older PPC driver, however you will experience problems like you are getting when printing from a Universal application via a PPC driver. Usually you see a line through the option that is not available, but I guess another symptom could be that the option is not viewable. Anyway, for some Universal applications, you can choose to open them using the Rosetta emulator. With the application closed, select its icon in the Finder and do a Get Info (Cmd - I). In the window that appears there may be the option "Open using Rosetta". If there is, select this option, close the window and open the application. Now try to print and see if the option is present.

Show 'Print' Option not see in view property editor

I have created a new ABAP web dynpro application and am trying to integrate it into the portal (7.0). I created a view and am trying to customize the appearance of the tray it appears in so that the user can print the view. I know that in the standard ESS functions that we have (which are WD Java) I simply found the show "print" option in the property editor and made sure it was set to yes. The problem is that while all of the other options are there (Details, help, personalize, refresh, remove, etc), unfortunately I do not see a show "print" option available in the property editor of the view. Is there any way that I can get it to show up? Is there some other parameter that controls whether it should appear.
I do see the show "print" option on the page, but my users want to see it on the view.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
It looks like you do not have write permissions to the PCD objects and thus cannot edit them.

Since updating to Firefox 3.6.15, I can no longer print coupons from SmartSource. The error message is that Java is not detected. The check box is longer showing in the Options/Content of this version of Firefox, so I can not enable it.

# Question
Since updating to Firefox 3.6.15, I can no longer print coupons from SmartSource. The error message is that Java is not detected. The check box is longer showing in the Options/Content of this version of Firefox, so I can not enable it.

Same PC as I used to post the question. When I go to the "plug in check" page, it shows I am up to date and it is not disabled.
Java(TM) Platform SE 6 U24

When I click on the Moilla button on my desktop, the firefox start page that shows up has no Mozilla button to access print, history. options etc., it just says mozilla firefox start page at the top. rt page tc.

When I click on the Mozilla icon on my desktop, a mozilla firefox startpage come up that has NO mozilla button to click and access print, history, options etc. Also the whole page automatically shifts down slightly to show only google question box and no address bar. Also, there used to be a place where I could click on most accessed pages, but that disappeared a couple of weeks ago. I have an HP computer and never know what the start page will look like.

Hey plainmad,
Did you recently upgrade Firefox? I would be willing to be that everything is still there, it's just hidden. Take a look [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/common-questions-after-upgrading-firefox-36 this article]. It will give you some tips on how to bring back any of the options you might not see.
Hopefully this helps!

When I uncheck the "Print" on layer options, all other layers disappeared!

Hi, I received a ai file from one of my clients, she set one of the layers to be not printing just for place holder. And I coudln't see any layers, originally I thought might be the graphic or fonts she's using, so I recreate the file tried to found out what font or graphics. But after I double click the layer, call out the layer options to uncheck the Print, it mess up the whole layer panel. I chatted with Adobe yesterday, the girl asked me to delete my font management plug-in and try. It didn't work. After that I was on hold with another girl from Adobe for 40 mins, she put me on hold most of time, phone got disconnected, never call me back. I was on my 3rd call with them, wait for another hour still didn't get to sort it out. I waste my whole day without getting the answer. Very frustrated.
I set the cyan circle on the bottom layer with uncheck print setting, after I click ok, on the layer panel every layers are gone. But I still see all the graphics.
Please help, I'm waiting Adobe to call me back in another hour. And it would be my 4th call with them.
Thank you and sorry with such a long question.

CS3: Enable "Print Layer" checkbox?

Hello,
In the each layer dialog box there is a checkbox for "Print Layer". I'm trying to write a line of applescript that will enable that option for all layers in a document.
I'm new to scripting. Does anyone know what that command would be? Or know of another similar script that I might look at for guidance?
Thanks,
Dennis

Hi Dennis,
Please make yourself familiar with the example programs and documentation ( both installed and separate downloads ), to catch a general understanding. There is also plenty independent documentation on AppleScript itself.
Then you'd open your favorite object model browser such as AppleScript's dictionary, and search for the keyword "Layer".
That would show you layers live straight in documents, and have a "printable" property.
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
set printable of every layer of active document to true
end tell
Btw, AppleScript is a nice language, but at the beginning its near natural, verbose expressions make working programs look really simple and obvious, whereas beyond copy-paste jobs in my opinion it requires more learning than for most other languages I've seen - concepts such as multi level addressing ( of .. of ), complicated restrictions ( whose ... ) and implicit loops ( every ... ) come to mind.

Updated CC to 2014 lost printer export option unless choose non-2014 CC version-any thoughts?

Hello,
After updating to new CC 2014 version noticed it opened on my # 1 monitor instead of #2 Cintiq tablet.Upon going to send image to Canon export module through Photoshop,I noticed it was missing(print module).
Windows program window shows(#1) Adobe Photoshop CC (64 Bit) and (#2) Adobe Photoshop CC 2014
I went back to original CC version(#1) and it opened on correct monitors and Canon driver is where it should be.Tried dropping export file into 2014 vers. (#2)but didn't help.
I have been able to set .tiffs to Photoshop CC(#1) as default,but jpegs will only open on CC 2014 (#2).
"Original" vers. (#1) shows following in system info;
Adobe Photoshop Version: 14.2.1 (14.2.1 20140207.r.570 2014/02/07:23:00:00) x64
Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit
Version: 6.1 Service Pack 1
I hope I don't have to open CC 2014 to use the new tools then open the older version to get to my printer export plug-in.

I do not know what you mean by printer export option or print module. I do not have a cintiq Display I have two displays and a Wacom intuos Pro.and have a Epson printer not a cannon printer. I keep my Photoshop Paletts on my 720P size display and Photoshop main window on my 1080p size display. I run windows 7 Pro. I have no Problem with CC 2014 menu File>Print (Ctrl P). Look at my 1080P size screen capture. View screen capture in a new tab an scale to actual pixels. The site scales image poorly. Do you have the correct device drivers installed on you windows 7 system for your printer?

Can't save illustration. Can't print illustration. HELP!!!

About a month ago in CS4 I randomly got the message "Can't save illustration. Can't print illustration." I had no changes to software or hardware. After searching to no avail, we decided we would upgrade to CS5 (however CS4 is still on the computer). Now with a new install of CS5, using Illustrator CS5 I'm getting the same error message. Even when there are no fonts present in the file and it is only a basic square the error message still pops up and Illustrator will not save anything to an EPS file.
The ONLY answer I've seen offered from Adobe on this problem is "outline the text", well that's not the problem because as I've said I've tried saving a file with just a simple path and it won't save to EPS.
I really need to save a file as an EPS and send it out to a vendor asap. Does anyone at Adobe have an answer to this problem?!
I'm using:
CS5 Designer Premium
Windows 2007 Professional, 64bit
Quadro FX 2800M
Dell Precision M6500
Thank you,
Jen

I am having the same problem in Illustrator CS5. Saving as .ai without PDF editable doesn't correct the problem. In the file there is outlined text (no fonts) with a gradient added. It file originated as an Illustrator document. I have been able to export as TIFF, etc. I'm getting the same cannot-save-or-print message.
There are no fonts in the file. When I tried to convert this RGB file to CMYK the listing for Convert To CMYK ( Edit/Edit Colors/Convert To CMYK) is grayed out. The 2 colors in the file originated as PMS but have been converted to process, CMYK in the Swatch Options dialog menu. I really need the file as an Illustrator-editable EPS other wise I can convert the TIFF to EPS in Photoshop.
Anyone have any idea about what's going on here or below?
Also,When I successfully save as a PDF the file looks fine reopened in Illustrator
but when it is opened in Acrobat 9 Pro, the gradient is modified unacceptably:
I betting that both problems are related.

Can't get correct Print Dialog options when installing Epson 3800

Hi,
I am certainly not an expert at Mac OS. I have exhausted all my options on getting the Epson 3800 driver installed correctly. I am very thankful for any help since I have been working on this issue for 4 days.
I connected my Epson 3800 to my PowerPC via USB. The proper driver shows up on the "About this Mac" window under printers. I added the printer through the "Print & Fax" option. I select to use the 3800 printer option for the Selected Printer for the Print Dialog. However, when I use print in any application (Text Edit, Photoshop CS3) I only have the following options available in the pulldown below the Presets box:
Copies & Pages
Layout
Scheduler
Paper Handling
Color Sync
Cover Page
Summary
I have no PDF button available on the panel. I should have about 3-4 more items on the list (e.g. Print Settings). Also the driver being used doesn't show up on Print Dialog.
I can get different settings with my cheap HP Officejet 4300 All-in-one printer.
I've reinstalled the OS a couple times. I've reinstalled the driver many times. Sometimes there is a Epson USB option available from the More Printers button in Add Printers and sometimes not. I've also tried installing with Ethernet and got the same result - shorter Print Dialog options.
I have printed to the printer without using any advanced options. However, this greatly limits the capabilities. The printer appears to be talking to the computer - I can get ink levels displayed on the screen.
I've been walked through the setup process by Epson technical support twice but they were stumped. Looking for any suggestions or areas to investigate. I'm really baffled and I've spent hours on it.

The PPD File version is listed as 1.0
I tried the safe boot option. You weren't kidding about taking a while. I thought my Mac was trying to take off with all the fan noise. :o) However, it still didn't work - no PDF button.
I did the printer utility reset but that didn't seem to work either.
I tried the shareware you recommened. However I got the same result. Perhaps I should restart? This is the output from it:

Limited universal app HP print menu options

Just bought a new MacBook Pro and use an HP Photosmart 8750 and a Canon BJ-85. No problems using the Canon -- plugged it in and I was ready to go. Even though the HP is on the Intel Mac supported printer list, there was no photosmart print drivers found in the Print Browser besides the gimp (which did not work). I went to the HP web site and downloaded/installed the 8750 driver (version 3.1) with no problems. When I'm using non-universal apps like Photoshop CS2, I have plenty of print menu options: copies, layout, scheduler, paper handling, color sync, paper type/quality... and it prints beautifully. When I'm in universal apps like Lightroom/iPhoto I have very limited print options and the output is terrible -- almost like draft mode. Apple shows that the HP is an included driver with Tiger with version 3.3. Can I get that version somewhere or is this an HP problem?

The driver you're looking for is part of Hewlett-Packard installer package for Tiger. It's an optional install, so when you install OS X, that's not part of the basic installation.
To install it, insert your Optional Installs disk and locate the Printer Drivers option; click the disclosure triangle next to it to reveal all the optional printer drivers, and select the model(s) you want and be sure all others are de-selected. Proceed to install as normal.
