Media selection not saved in Print dialog

When I select my Media, Quality and Bit Depth in the "Main" window in the Print dialog, they are not saved even though I select Save Current Settings as Preset. They change back to Plain Paper, 300 dpi and 8-bit. This will not work for high quality photo printing on my Canon iPF5000 printer. I've tried many different settings but nothing I have tried will get my settings to be saved and used. What are the "magic words" because the ones I've been using are not working?
I can print from Photoshop through a Canon 16-bit plug-in using my normal print paper profiles and get excellent results so the printer is working just fine. I am using the latest Canon print driver and firmware. I think if I could get the correct media type, quality and bit depth in the printer driver, I'd get good results as well. I have a new paper profiling device that can only print the test patches through the print driver... so I'm stuck so far.
Your help is appreciated.
OS X 10.9.2, Mac Pro 3.33 Ghz 6-core, 24 GB RAM

I discovered the root of my problem. Canon does not have a printer driver for my iPF5000 that runs under Mavericks. My workaround was to load Mountain LIon on a separate drive and use the Canon supported print driver for OS X 10.8.x. Running under 10.8 worked and I was able to successfully input and send the media type to the printer. I was making printer paper profiles with a new x-rite ColorMunki Photo.
After creating the paper profile, I copied it over to Mavericks where I use Canon's 16-bit plug-in in Photoshop to send print jobs to the iPF5000. This apparently uses a slightly different print driver than the stand-alone print driver since it works just fine. The profiles create prints that are a very close match to the screen images.
Whether or not Canon will support Mavericks for the iPF5000 is anybody's guess since it's an older printer.

Print Driver Settings Not Saving at Print Dialog [IDCS3, Vista]

Hi. On our only design machine that runs Vista, when the user tries to print something from InDesign CS3 and has to turn on duplexing in the printer driver setup, on clicking OK, those settings immediately go away, and thus the document will not print duplexed. It works fine on our XP machines.
A workaround is to set such printer driver settings via Vista's Control Panel, and this does work, however it's a bit cumbersome, since we print all kinds of documents.
Pertaining Specs:
- Adobe InDesign CS3 (5.0.3) for Windows
- Vista Home SP1 (I think)
- Konica-Minolta Bizhub C500
- EFI Fiery 2.01 Driver for Vista / PostScript / Image Controller 405
It's similar to this issue, but the specs differ:
Michael C Stone, "Indesign documents reset printer settings IDCS2 XPSP2" #, 14 Jun 2008 5:19 pm

It does say, "Double-sided: Yes," in Windows' printer properties for the Bizhub PS (and PCL) Fiery driver(s) -- in fact, this may have been from me turning it on for the PS driver in Windows Registry, as it was off for some reason, but seemed to make no real difference anyway -- but I think the duplexing option would have been grayed-out in the Fiery driver's dialog if not available as some various other options are -- the driver has the capability to poll the device for such options availability -- and I don't actually see anything duplexing-related on the Installable Options tab, but the Installed list is identical to one of our XP computers with no apparent issues with printing to the drivers from InDesign -- although at one point, if a Vista user printed an InDesign document and saved it (and thus the printer settings), XP users for some reason couldn't print the document without forcing a change in the print driver settings, but I believe this was due to using the same drivers but different TCP/IP port configurations per machine (Vista doesn't need the IP_ prefix as XP seems to).

6.1 Print Templates - auto select items in the print dialog popup

In the slide deck I have about 6.1 it says the following:
•Print Templates
–Print templates can now be used to auto select items in the
print dialog popup. By default, the out of the box template
selects the current specification
Unfortunately I haven't been able to find how to do this in the EP documentation. Could someone point me in the right direction on how to do this?

Download Extensibility Pack 2.6. It was just released. Take a look at page 11 in the Print Extensibility Guide. It should have the info you need. If not let me know.

When printing Firefox does not open the Print Dialog window

When printing at our office we often need to print to multiple printers and not just the default printer. When printing in Firefox, however, the print automatically gets sent to the default printer and I do not get a print dialog window. I have reset Firefox's printer options, changed the prefs.js file, and launched Firefox from safe mode to check if an add-on is affecting printing - all to no avail. When I print from Chrome, or (shudder) Internet Explorer I get a dialog box giving me printer options. Your help and responses will be appreciated.

There is a hidden preference to bypass the dialog, but it definitely is not set by default. To check for that:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''print.''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) If you discover a preference named '''print.always_print_silent''' there's your trouble.
Next question would be, where did it come from?! Some possibilities:
(A) A user.js file that overrides prefs.js at startup. See: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
(B) A lock file in the program folder. See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences

"Quality and Media" not displaying in Print dialog.

I am using Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard on a Macbook Pro with a Canon MB5220 Multifunction printer over WiFi. I have installed the Canon Drivers and can print to the printer but the "Quality and Media" menu choice does not display in the print dialog so I can't set any of the quality settings or the color settings for the printer.
I installed and re-installed the drivers. Tried with several applications such as TextEdit and preview. Only menu choices are Layout, Color Matching, Paper Handling, Cover Page, Scheduler.
Is there anything that would keep Quality and Media from dispaying?

It's not just the Quality & Media menu that appears to be missing. There are three other Canon menus you should see like below;
These menu items are supported by the plugins bundle installed in /Library/Printers/Canon/BJPrinter/PDEs, which supports a number of Canon inkjet printers. Since reinstalling the driver for the MG5220 has not helped then I would try a reset of the printing system and then adding the printer again. To reset the printing system, open Print & Fax, move the mouse over the Printers list and Control-click. The reset popup will appear. Select it and authenticate if prompted and then restart the Mac. Please note that this action will remove all printer and scanner queues from Print & Fax, but not the associated drivers so just the queues will need to be added again.
If this action does not resolve the problem then try running the Canon Driver Update v2.6.

PDF button not enabled in Print dialog box

When I am in any application that allows printing and I select File > Print, the Print dialog box opens, but I can't select the PDF button (or the Preview button for that matter). I can see the buttons, but they are not selectable.
I have a $HOME/Library/PDF Services folder set up properly.
How can I enable the PDF button for printing?
(And for the quinella, the Preview button in the same dialog box.)

I am sorry my post got corrupted as these new Discussions format modifications can muck up when using the ~ (tilde) symbol. !!!!!
What I wanted you to do was go to the Home folder, then Library, then Preferences and locate two files,
com.apple.print.custompresets.plist
com.apple.Preview.plist
and delete those two files in particular, not your document that you are trying to preview. My mistake for omitting this information.
So please try this suggestion.

Printer Profiles not showing in Print Dialog

I cannot seem to see the custom Printer Profiles I have for certain papersin the Print Dialog.
I have added the Print Profiles to Library > Application Support > Adobe > Color > Profiles (and also in Recommended)
But in the Print Dialog under Colour Management > Photoshop Handles Colour > Print Profile - they are not showing. I have done things like restarting Photoshop and converting the image to CMYK from RGB.
I can see the profiles in the Proofing menu and am able to select them.
Any ideas as without using the profiles my colour management is completely off kilter.
Also, can I confirm that I am putting the printer profiles in the correct folder?

Thanks for your response JJMack. I've just found out the problem. It seems that by putting the profiles in the > Recommended folder as well as in the > Profiles folder this seems to have disabled the profiles from displaying in the print dialog.
I'm not sure why but they are displaying fine now.
I'm new to this forum and I wonder if you know if there is a right place or method for sharing this information as I have spent the best part of two hours this afternoon wrestling with this?

'Allow insecure authentication' selection not saving in mac mail

I have just installed OS X Yosemite
Several of my IMAP email accounts in mail would not connect unless I select 'allow insecure authentication'.
Having made the selection, and saved, the setting reverts to unchecked.
How can I ensure that the selection remains saved?

I also have unsecure IMAP accounts (I have four email addresses) and when I upgraded I saw the Allow insecure authentication so checked it and then found it reverted so I checked it again and also unchecked the 'Automatically detect and maintain account settings'.
I then had a problem where the SMTP server keep dropping its connection and the only way to get it back was to delete the SMTP definition and recreate it.
After spending several hours trying to get it working and talking to the email hosting support (FASTHOSTS in the UK) I gave up and restored to Maverick.
Anybody out there using Fasthosts, multiple email accounts and has this working? Or even not using FASTHOSTS and has this working.
Anybody upgraded with multiple email addresses (same domain) and using SSL got this working?
Not sure if I should talk to Apple support but that costs £35 and I needed to move on so restore was faster.
thanks in advance for any help out there

How to type selected pages in the Print dialog box

Hello,
I am using ID5 with Windows 7.
I need to provide sample pages on my web site of a book I wrote.
I pressed Ctrl-E, named the file, chose Adobe .pdf (Print), and then typed in all the pages:
Sec.1:1, ii-vii, Sec2:1, Sec2:20-23, Sec2:51, Sec2:72, Sec2:92, Sec2:100, Sec2:102, Sec2:116, Sec2:121, Sec2:150-156
These are an EXACT match to what's in the Pages panel, yet ID will not make the .pdf! I have tried typing the pages both with and without spaces in between, but am getting nowhere.
NOTE: The first entry correctly includes a period, unlike any of the other entries. The second entry correctly omits a section number, and the last page is indeed 156.
Can anyone see what I've done wrong?
I noticed today that site visitors are looking for this .pdf, which wasn't stored in my Media area as I thought, so I've got to get this done pronto because I'm losing sales!
Thank you!

You can also set your General Preferences' Page Numbering View to Absolute and then you can enter absolute page numbers in the export dialog, which might be easier with complicated sections and prefixes.
The sections and prefixes are still there but for exporting and printing the pages become:

Qualified Updated Selections not Saved in Import Map

I have tried to recreate a new map and get the same results. Any ideas?

Actions not saving all printer info

I have a large poster printer and I have about 6 different size posters that I print regularly. Each poster size has a bunch of differnt print settings (which roll of paper to use, where to position the poster, size of the image..). It seems when I save a action of me printing a poster not ALL of this information is saved from the print settings.
How can I completely automate this? I want to be able to press a button labeled "print 36x36" and it will print the image at the right size using the right paper in the right location on the paper. Any ideas? Thanks everyone!

Hi. Because the forum you originally posted in is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I'm moving your question to the Photoshop General Discussion forum.

Payment media file not saved on the local PC in FBPM

Dear all,
In transaction FBPM, if I choose the option ouput to the file system and point out the path to the folder where the file to be generated on my local PC, by the running of the transaction I am getting the following error:
BFIBL02182 - The file XXXXXXXXX cannot be opened.
If I want to download the payment media file I have to download it manualy.
I don't have some access limitation on my computer.
For this error I found the following explanation in teh forums: The error message BFIBL02182 normally is showing because the directory that was used when starting the payment media program (for example, in background processing), cannot be read online. You should therefore choose a directory that can be written to and read by different machines.
Acctually I don't understand this.
I would like the system to download the file automatically by the running of the transaction.
Please could help, what I have to do, ? How to check if the chosen by me dirictory is possible to be read online?
Thanks in advance for the help?
Stefka
Edited by: Stefka Nasheva on Apr 23, 2009 5:38 PM

Hi,
Please validate the Payment medium: Selection Variant in T-Code: OBPM4 and then search the variant in T-Code FBPM, for the relevant Payment Medium Format, type the File Name something like this: C:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\Payment
Save
After the payment run is completed. You need to go to Menu in F110 screen and select Environment-> Payment Media->DME Administration, select the line and click Export button and select Download.
This is the only way you can download when the presentaion server is used.
Hope this helps....
Thanks,

The Same addon works fine on the server with print dialog box being showing through SDK code.

Please suggest as i need to know the reason urgently.
Thanks
