Lost Printer Features Pane for HP LaserJet 4050 and Color LaserJet 4550

Hello,
I am trying to restore the Printer Features Pane for 2 different Hewlett-Packard printers we have connected to our LAN.
The Printers Features Pane is available on several of our older iMacs but NOT several of the newest iMacs just recently installed.
After doing some reading in the discussion forum I thought this was due to an erroneous PPD file and replaced both PPD files on the new iMac (with the absent Printer Feature Pane) with the PPD files copied from the old iMac (with the correctly functioning Printer Feature Pane) . I actually copied the PPD files into both of the following locations:
• /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/en.lproj
• /System/Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/en.lproj
Unfortunately this did not work even when i deleted the old printer, replaced the old PPD files with the new ones (actually replaced the new ones with the older ones from the previous iMacs on which the Printer Features Pane was working as anticipated), restarted the machine and then added the printer selecting the correct PPD file. All machines are running X.4.10
I am sure this is a simple fix that i am just overlooking but really need to get back the option of printing to the "Letterhead" tray of our printers.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks
Mike

Below is the best I can do to portray the visual appearance of the print dialog boxes for

I wish I could attach some screen shots as they are usually my best way to convey the visual appearance of the interface. But hopefully the information above will suffice.
The following is an extract from the PPD for the LaserJet 4050 (same file on both machines that display and don't display a printer features option) that appears to be the salient area of the file for dealing with this functionality. :

I don't know if it helps you to know that the Printer Features option did work on my current G5 tower, but following an erase and install that functionality has been lost.
Thanks for your ongoing assistance with this problem.

    I wasn't aware that VueScan charged a yearly license.
    You simply launch Image Capture and if the scanner is recognized it will be listed in the SHARED list in the left display column.  Select the scanner name and the app will start an overview scan.  You will also see a list of scanning options in the right display column (resolution, paper size, file output format, etc.
    The above description is when everything is working correctly, which has been the case for me.

    Well, a few Effects, that might help - a little, would be Curves, Levels and Shadow & Highlight, along with the Three-way Color Corrector. However, the success will depend on the footage. Can you post a Vimeo, or YouTube example, as once one sees what you are working with, they may have other ideas. Good luck, and welcome to the forums, Hunt

  • No Printer Resolution Options for hp LaserJet Enterprise 600 M601

    Running under Mac OS 10.6.8, we've run into a problem printing separations to our new hp LaserJet Enterprise 600 m601 printer from Illustrator CS4, CS5 and CS6.
    In the printer dialog box, once under the "Output" section, with the mode set to either "Separations" or "In-RIP Separations", there are no options listed in the "Printer Resolution" drop-down.
    I've tried re-installing the driver, changing the resolution settings in the printer itself, using a generic PS driver, and contacting hp directly (their solution was to contact Adobe). I have yet to contact Adobe itself, but none of my other attempts netted a different result.
    In the document ink listing, the Frequency and Angle listings are still editable, but needs to be done manually for every colour, and the dot shape options are non-existant.
    We had previously been using a hp LaserJet 2300n, but we were running into insufficient memory issues on an increasingly frequently basis. The driver for the 2300n had several different sets of Printer Resolution settings, so once the new printer was set up, I *assumed* that it would have the same kind of options.
    I have discovered that if I change my PPD from the proper driver (HP LaserJet 600 M601 M602 M603) to the old one (Hp LaserJet 2300) I am then able to select the resolution I want from the drop-down list, switch the PPD back to the proper one for the M601, and it seems to work (leaving the 2300 as the PPD file results in a warning and a failed print attempt).
    I also tried printing something from a non-Adobe program using the M601, and there were two options available for printer quality (resolution?) settings.
    Any thoughts?

    Re instakll the printers driver first remove the printer from the printer list.
    My only thought!

  • Lexical References for reports 9i (graph and colors)

    hi,
    1) i want to use lexical parameters for graph and colors
    like font,background,foreground,text and so on....
    for graph :
    width,height,x-axis,y-axis and so on....
    my reports are saved in .jsp .
    it is possible or not .if possible please help me.
    it's very urgent.
    2) I have created a report with graph at the beginning of the first page
    I got result with graph and corresponding data in tabular format and saved in .jsp file.
    Graph is shown at the beginning of the report as I desired followed by
    data.(i.e. First Page).
    From next page I am not able to get the data
    from the top of the page instead a gap with the size of the graph is available
    which is blank.
    I need to produce graph only on the first page and the other pages with just the
    data without a gap reserved for graph.
    with regard's
    vijay

    1) Yes, you can use lexical references in the generated graph XML (I presume that you're talking about 9i). However, this functionality is only available in patch 1 and above (patch 2 is now available, and can be downloaded from Metalink).
    2) Create a frame around the graph (and make sure that the graph is contained by the frame, i.e., move it forwards). Make the frame vertically variable.
    Hope this helps,

  • Lost printer features after upgrading to Windows 8

    I'm using a HP Deskjet 2060 K110 AIO.
    After installing Windows 8 from Windows 7, the option for "Pages to Print" (print even and odd pages) and "HP Real Life Technologies" were missing, even after installing driver from http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=4157...
    I tried installing the driver from the CD it came with, it doesn't want to install.
    Is this feature deliberately removed or am I missing something?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi,
    Those features do avaialble as part of the driver provided with the HP Full Feature Software, by your description I assume you wrongly added the In-OS driver included within Windows 8.
    Follow the steps below, that should add any feature of the printer:
    1. Download and run the latest full feature software below:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=al-109371-2&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
    2. Once the installation dialog appears, click CTRL + Shift + ESC to launch the task manager
    3. Right-click the HP-DQEX5.exe process and select Open File Location.
    4. Right click the top address bar and select Copy address as text.
    5. Open the control panel and then go to Devices and printers, Right click the HP Deskjet Ink Adv 2060 icon and select Printer Properties.
    6. Open the Advanced tab, then click on New Driver.
    7. Click Next, click the Have Disk button, paste the software address by clicking CTRL + V and click OK.
    8. Complete the wizard and click OK to confirm the changes. your pritner driver should now include any of those options:

    After running the software it keeps telling me install failed check USB, power off then on and try again. I have done all of the troubleshooting methods on your website with no luck. The OS is Windows 7 Enterprise. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

    @Neogio78
    Thank you for your post on the hp.com forums.
    Couple of questions: how were you originally installing the printer: USB, LAN cable, wirless? Which software did you try to install: Full Solution or the host based driver (basic print driver)?
    My first suggestion would be to uninstall all software and make sure that you delete all the HP folders for this printer from your C:// drive. Reboot your system and try again.

  • How do I change header/footer print options for font, font size, and color?

    I know how to change the text for web page print of footers/headers. I can see no option to change font, font color, or font size (such as available on IE). I want to change the font, font color and font size of the footer/header when I print a web page. I read the FAQs, found nothing that seems to fit. Can you assist? or is this option available on Mozilla. I have the latest/greatest version (set to auto update).

    OK, my question was about how to change font/color in headers/footers... This suggestion changes the font/color in the text, but NOT in the footers, unless I want everything in the same font/color. I need footers/headers in RED BOLD. I can do this on IE, but there does not seem to be an option for Mozilla.

  • System Setup for editing / motion graphics and color-correcting

    I am looking to add a second monitor for previewing in FCP as well as color-correction. I've looked into a JVC LCD 20" Production monitor with SDI, etc. coupled with a Blackmagic Decklink HD card. But that combo costs over $3500. Is there a lower-cost solution to this? A second Apple Cinema Display? Or some other recommendation? And would I need a Blackmagic or AJA card to properly monitor?
    Any recommendations/brands/costs would be appreciated.
    The bulk of the footage I edit with is shot in XDCAM-EX format (EX3).
    I currently run a Dual 2.3 PPC G5, but will be upgrading shortly to a Dual 2.8 Quad Core.
    Thanks.

    You want us to do all of the research and cost breakdown for you? Uh...no.
    But I will recommend a low cost alternative. Matrox MXO and Apple Cinema Display (which Apple as discontinued).

  • I have lost the export settings for FCP7. How can I get these back?

    I accidentally threw a folder in the trash. I got a lot of stuff back using Data Rescue, but not everything.
    I have lost the export settings for FCP7. How and Can I get these back? tia

    Sorry for the delay in response. It sounds like you have somehow deleted your quicktime ProKit with the codecs by what ever process you were trying to restore  you trashed files.
    Go to the Apple Menu > System Updates and see if the updater sees a need to install them.
    If this doesn't work - it might be
    the best thing to do would be to get FCS Remover from Digital Rebellion (free)
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/
    and try to remove all traces of your corrupt installation and then do a clean install from your original disks, followed by updates to restore the new ProKit codecs.
    If your system has been corrupted by whatever you did, it might be best to wipe the drive and start from scratch - but understood this is not a pleasant choice.
    Other posters may have different or better suggestions. The FCS Pro Apps require a lot of files and file structure that may or may not be apparent, and were never drag and drop installable. They always needed to be installed with the proper installer.

  • Disk Volume cost for MaxDB 7.6 and 7.8

    Hello, everyone
    I heared that MaxDB 7.8 uses UTF-8 to save characters while 7.6 uses UTF-16. Therefore I made a comparasion to prove this.
    To be disappointed, the result did not support it. The experiment procedures were as follows:
    1. Create a DB with same disk volume size(30MB) and log volume size(20MB) and default char code as Unicode.
    2. Create a table with only one column of varchar(200) unicode.
    3. Insert 6000 lines of records to this table.
    4. See the data area of percentage filled.
    5. It showed that the two were nearly same and  7.6 was even less than 7.8.
    So, I have the following questions:
    1. Does Maxdb 7.8 use UTF-8 to save characters?
    2. What are the feature lists for MaxDB 7.6 and 7.8?
    I was asked a sap service marketplace account to login. Is this kind of information so secret?
    3. If Maxdb 7.8 uses UTF-8 , how to configure to use it?
    Any reply will be highly appreciated!

    Hi,
    As per the Wiki link http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/MaxDB/FAQ, section:
    Bigger development request (e.g Unicode UTF-8 or page compression) that would have required man-years of effort in SAP MaxDB, are either already available in SAP In-Memory Database or will be done there
    So, seems UTF-8 is not yet there in MaxDB 7.8.
    Additional features in MaxDB 7.8: http://maxdb.sap.com/training/expert_sessions/SAP_MaxDB_New_Features_in_Version_78.pdf
