Missing full print options

I am used to seeing lots of print options; colour or b/w, draft or high resolution, which pages to print etc. I am not able to see all these options. What do I need to do to fix this? thanks for your help
Mac OS X v10.5

There should be a blue button with either an upward- or downward-pointing triangle to the right of the printer name. If it's up, click it, and it should point down, and reveal the rest of your printer options.
Occasionally, I do run across an app that only offers a 'page print' setting, although at the moment, none of them come to mind.

Missing borderless print option on Epson 2200 since Leopard upgrade

Since upgrading to Leopard, I no longer fine an Epson borderless print option when I go to select printers. I have an Epson 2200 and am using with Photoshop CS. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Are you using the Epson driver, as opposed to the Gutenprint driver? I am using the Epson SP 2200 driver on 10.5.3 and can see and print with the borderless options in Photoshop. In the Print Dialog in the Paper Size menu, I see the following:
US Letter
US Letter (Standard - Minimize Margins)
US Letter (Sheet Feeder - Borderless)
US Letter (Roll Paper)
US Letter (Roll Paper - Borderless)
Hope this helps.

Missing .pdf print options

Recently installed iWork on Leopard 10.5.1, (cannot install 10.5.2 as I am still dial-up-apparent conflicts yet ti be resolved by Apple). In the process I no longer have the 7 pdf options in the file print menu. I have only mail pdf, save to iphoto, save as pdf-x, and save pdf to mail receipts. As I publish a newsletter I need the "compress .pdf" option back. Any ideas? Worked in Tiger without a hitch.

It appears that they left this feature out of Leopard. However you can download a program off the Apple Website to restore that functionality. Heres the link.

Auto import missing full Import options

Setup
Nikon D2X with LR 1.3 Windows XP Pro sp2
I am shooting NEF (Raw) with a D2X tethered to a laptop
Nikon Capture Control drops new images in to a folder
LR auto import is watching this folder and duly imports the pictures
adding metadata as it does so.
The options on the auto import are much more basic than the standard import features.
I would like to import the NEFs to DNG and backup the NEFs.
Are there plans to fix/improve this situation.
Or am I missing something.
(Apologies if this is a duplicate post I have spend quite some time searching and checking FAQs)
/Graham

I don't know if there's any impediment doing it this way shooting tetherered, but it seems a clunky workflow. Why convernt to DNG on import when you want the tethered operation to be as fast as it can be? Why backup images when you don't know what to keep?
Best import RAW, then after at least one cut ediiting/culling, then convert and backup.

How can i print an Excel file when in the full screen mode (no print options on toolbar or right clk

using Vista, sometimes after creating and saving an excel file, the document is not visible when the file is reopened.
selecting full screen mode makes the document visible, but the toolbars disappear and the print option does not show up on a right click. How can i print the document and see the document in some other mode than full screen?

In order to print, you can click the CTRL+P keys to launch the print dialog,
Regarding the missing toolbar, try clicking the ALT key to shouw the software menu, then look around under the view option for any available toolbar settings,
If you cannot find it, i would recommend you to try the Microsoft support forums, as they have some more knowledge with their software features
Say thanks by clicking the Kudos thumb up in the post.

Missing print options - Canon MP600 and ????

Well I discovered the hard way another function deleted in SL!
I have a Canon MP600 multifunction unit. Now when I go to print, I can NOT specify certain pages to print such as 1, 3, 7, 10. In Tiger & Leopard I could.
I finally found the option for printing all even or all odd pages under "Paper Handling". This helps but this means I have to switch to another screen to get that option. And why there instead of under instead of "Duplex Printing and Margin", a more logical place for the even or odd selection if not on the main page.
Also missing is the option to just print the current page.
For one document I wanted to print, I selected the pages one-by-one on the first page of the printer dialogue by selection a range of say 3 to 3.
Is this all the SL printer driver? Will the old Leopard driver work? If so how do I get it back?

I agree with Todd. You must have been using Office or Acrobat or some other application that provided this feature. The Preview application included with 10.6 has exactly the same print options as that provided with 10.5.

The Duplex Printing menu is provided by Canon. It is known as a PDE (Print Dialog Extension). When you think about, if the printer can print duplex then you usually don't want to print odd or even pages. This is more suited for printers that have no duplex option, where you would need to print one side then reload and print the other - hence it being provided by Apple and not the vendor.
Also missing is the option to just print the current page.
Preview does have an additional menu under File called 'Print Selected Page'.
For one document I wanted to print, I selected the pages one-by-one on the first page of the printer dialogue by selection a range of say 3 to 3.
That was also the case with Preview on 10.5. So again, you must be referring to a particular application that had print current page. BTW - if it was Acrobat you were using on 10.5 then this is still available with 10.6.
Is this all the SL printer driver? Will the old Leopard driver work? If so how do I get it back?
No. The issues you are mentioning appear to be application specific. As for installing the Leopard driver on 10.6, I don't believe the driver v5.8.3 for 10.5 and earlier can be used on 10.6. In testing the installation of the v5.8.3 driver on 10.6, it did appear to install but without an MP600 to connect to I cannot be certain it will work. So you may need to test this yourself. But that said, I don't believe the v5.8.3 driver will give you back the settings you want...

I am missing PDF Printer (PDFMaker), have reinstalled Adobe Professional and even did a repair making sure I added the PDFMaker options - it still will not add the PDF Printer (PDFMaker) option - which is necessar to use with our document comparison softw

Please help me add back the PDF Printer - I am missing the PDF Printer (PDFMaker) and have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Professional 10, I have tried repairing it and made sure the options for PDFMaker are selected, to no avail. I need the PDF Printer to use with our document comparison product, using the add printer options and adding the Adobe converters doesn't fix this issue either, it just adds an option to convert documents to PDF to a local folder which doesn't fix the issue.
I have a contract for Adobe Support but cannot reach a technician by 1-800 number, does anyone (1) have a solution to this problem? and (2) a telephone number for which I can call for assistance?
Thanks!

Epson R1800 printer options missing when using AEBS wireless printing- WHY?

I have run into a very odd problem with my Epson R1800 printer. When I install the printer for directly connecting via USB or FireWire the version 6.12 print driver appears with all of the options. When I install the same printer when connected through my AirPort extreme base station the print driver is lacking most of the adjustment features.
Fire wire and USB contain the following menu items in the drop down print dialog"
Print Settings (with basic and advanced tabs)
Roll Paper Option
Expansion
Extension Settings
The AEBS printer options only contains one printer specific selection called:
Printer Features
which has a very limited selection of options, an no options which allow me to turn off color management.
Some additional information
- I installed this same printer driver on one laptop back in the days of 10.5.2 and I was able to install a AEBS printer which allows all of the options. On that same computer if I now install a new printer with the same driver those extra options are missing.
- I just upgraded a second laptop to Leopard today and went straight to 10.5.3 and the wireless driver for this printer only contains the limited menu items.
- I am certain that I am using the Epson drivers and not the Gutenprint drivers. Please do not suggest the Gutenprint drivers, they do not handle color management properly.

This is a real problem for this printer OS combination... I believe due to the crappy Epson driver. I searched the internet and found lots and lots of people having a similar problem. When I contacted Epson today they admitted there was a driver problem, but the tech told me they had no plans to improve the driver 'because the R1800 is a discontinued model'! How's that for support!
Anyway...several people have had fairly decent luck removing the printer and all Epson software then re-installing it. When the 'correct' driver is installed it will say something like "Epson R1800 (sp) 1". My problem is there is no way to profile this printer and have the driver work as it should for proofing and color management. I know that doesn't help much, but if you google "Epson R1800 problems with Leopard" you'll see what I mean.

I can access a website and select the 'print' option but the print misses out

I can access a website and select the 'print' option but the print misses out photos that should be included in the print. It happens on more than one website. If I use Explorer it doesn't happen. I guess there must be a setting or something that I have not found? Any help very gratefully received. Than you.

I don't know if this will help, but I found it by accident. When I send Word projects to recipients, it doesn't always read properly depending on their format. If they have a PC It distortes my program, or they may have newer versions of Word. If you have your document showing select 'print' and on my print menu at the bottom left corner it has a button that says 'PDF'. Click on that and it gives you several options for a PDF. What I do if I'm emailing to someone is select the email option then you can always print from the email. Hope that helps.

Printer options missing

I have just upgraded to Snow Leopard but for some reason most of the options on the print screen are missing (e.g. paper handling, scheduler, etc.). I recently purchased a MacBook Pro with SL and it set itself up to work with the same printer (Canon MP780) OK. I don't get as many printing options on the MacBook as I did with Tiger on the iMac, but it offers the key ones. How do I sort out the iMac?

Also the printer/scanner won't scan any more - it says it can't find the driver.
Repair permissions and restart your computer. If the printer/scanner is still searching for its driver, go to the manufacturer website, download & install any & all of the updated drivers you find for your model printer/driver. You will need to repair permissions and restart your computer again after the installation.

Maintain printer option missing

Interesting problem here but guess it's not so unusual. Purchased a B9180 printer in the sales, but then moved house and never had chance to install it for a year. When I went to install it, I discovered there was no installation CD, but managed to find some software on the HP site. Printer was OK but I felt it could be better supported by using the pro print plug-in for Adobe Photoshop (Adobe Cloud account holder). However, it was not there in the menue where it should be. So I uninstalled the software and went to the HP site to reinstall. Software not available, directed to MAC and a software updates. That worked OK to the point that the printer is now working again and I see all the printer cartridge levels etc. However, I still do not see the Photoshop plug-in. When I go to the HP Device manager to find the "Maintain Printer" option which can apparently be used to activate the plug-in, I can't even find the option for Maintain Printer, let alone the actual option of activating the plug-in. Grrrrrr So what is missing and how do I update my device manager so it has the features of "Maintain Printer" and "Install Adobe plug-in"? Noted when I do go to ose this printer in Photoshop, it does give me the option to let Photoshop Manage the colours, but I assume the Adobe plug-in will do so much more and help me get better prints. Any guidance appreciated.

Hi , Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I understand that you're trying to get more settings for your HP Photosmart Pro B9180 Photo Printer. I'm happy to look into this for you.
Did you have an older version of the Mac Operating System installed and then upgrade to 10.10? I'm glad you were able to get the printer working, however, I'm not certain how you had the option maintain printer. One thing that comes to mind, you might have been using a different software package/driver for this printer previously. As you stated, HP does not Software for this printer on Mac OS 10.10. The Apple Software Update provides the basic print driver only. I don't believe it includes the option to maintain the printer. As far as getting plugins to work with Adobe and Photoshop. I would suggest contacting them for assistance. Best of Luck!

Mac OSx Full Drivers with Printer Options

Hi,
Is there a way to deploy full drivers with iPrint. The PPD driver deployment works well, but it lacks any of the printer functions that is needed by the clients. The printer is a Xerox WorkCenter 7845 (Color, HolePunch, Stapling. . . )
The PPD driver only does grey scale printing and none of the other features work. I would love to do the following with iprint:
1. Set printer options.
2. Deploy the full Mac OSx Driver package of Xerox for this printer.
Hope there is a reply out there.
Thanks.

You can edit the ppd file to set the options.

How to print a selection of pages from a 3000 page PDF without having to scroll two wheels! Also is there a way to set printer options for just black and white? Seems like there is a lot missing here?

I have been using this for school work as much as possible and have come across a problem. With my lack of knowledge for apple it seems as though I can't navigate myself to a easy answer. The problem hits when I am printing pages off of a large document, and I don't want to print the entire document in color but I have no way "that I can find" for a black and white print option...
----- also a larger issue, when printing I need to select 1 page or even 20 pages... The time it takes to use a scroll wheel and the fact if you try and scroll fast sometimes you click off the screen then you have to start scrolling all over again... It seems like you would beagle to input from say page 1224 to 1236.... Instead I have a scroll a wheel? Just doesn't make sense...?
Can someone please help solve this for me!

Yes, that fixed it, thanks! I had no idea they clashed like that. I ruthlessly purged all other tables of contents, and then used Layout > Table of Contents to create a new one, and it worked.
It made more sense after seeing in this thread that table of contents styles are more like presets or entities than styles.
