No preview dialog box

We just had to replace our HP F4400 which stopped working.
We choose the Desktop 2540.
Works ok but the F4400 software had a Preview dialog box that popped up before printing.
The new software for the 2540 does not and I cannot find a setting to turn such a Preview dialog on.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi @GailLinda
Print preview was omitted from the software. Now your preview options are limited to the program you are printing from. Most programs allow you to click File, Print Preview.
I know that has been a disappointment for many, but I have a possible solution.
Please take a look at this link for more detail, HP Smart Print.
I hope this is a viable solution for you.
the Smart Print is for Internet Explorer. There is an add-on for Firefox as well though.
About this Add-on
This software program will eliminate paper waste by analyzing documents as they are printed and altering a temporary copy of the document. This program will specifically address situations where the last page in a document has only, for example, a few lines of text, or worse, is blank or includes only content of insignificant value. In Firefox, the program will take steps including (a) the removal of menu items from the bottom of a web page; (b) the adjustment of the document margins; and (c) minor document reduction.
More information and download available here.
You can also try an alternate print driver, a previous driver that offered the printer preview option. I suggest the Deskjet 3050 - DJ3050_J610_Basicx64_1315.exe
How to Assign Alternate Print Drivers in Different Versions of Windows. You will be prompted to select the 450 or 990c driver, but as suggested above, I recommend trying the 3050.
Please let me know if one of my recommendations helps you to resolve the issue.

Image looks great in PS- when I go to print it looks grainy in printer preview dialog box and prints blurry. Why?

Image looks great in PS- when I go to print, it looks grainy in printer preview dialog box and prints blurry. Why is this happening?

PS CC, Yosemite, Epson 3880 (called espson to make sure it wasn't something with that), saved as a tiff/psdjpg- all files behave the same way. When I open the raw file- and only crop the image- it behaves this way now- with grain and blur when printing. No other files do this in the same shoot. I worked on this image- could something have gotten corrupted along the way such that now even opening the raw file creates this problem. SInce upgrading my computer - a window pops up when I open PS that says I need to update my graphics card?? for 3D- I'm not using 3D- so I don't know if that means anything. I have to leave for about an hour- but greatly appreciate any feedback. I will be in touch. Thank you.

Photoshop elements 2 print preview dialog box

I'm running PSE 2 on a PC with Windows XP and an old Dell monitor with 800x600 resolution. Problem: when I check the "More Options box, the box cuts off at "Print Space" And I can't control communication between PSE and the printer. I've fooled with the windows control panel etc. to try to reduce the size of the dialog box to no avail. PSE preferences does 't help either. Am I doomed?

Are you sure you can't change the resolution to 1024 x 768 pixels?

Output Preview dialog box overview

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7ba3.w.h tml

One reason for not including profiles is that you don't want the profile-to-profile conversion that takes place, which will typically change black to rich black and other things. For some applications colour fidelity is less important than colorant fidelity. But of course, mostly its people who don't have a clue about colour.
Or, just an incompatible view of the workflow. Some people are using rather old fashioned colour workflows where output intents are ignored. If you have one of these workflows, then a good colour managed file following best practice appears to have only device dependent colours.
HOWEVER, I've never seen "Unknown output condition" in the Simulation profile selection. This is supposed to be a profile of your choice - but perhaps this file is a PDF/X file with an unrecognised output condition. Anyway, I certainly don't see it as a suggestion that the file doesn't have profiles. Well worth looking further into these files. Have you preflighted them? Are they PDF/X and if so what sort of PDF/X?

Preview and Open dialog box on initial start of program?

Okay, I understand that it might be beneficial when starting Preview that an open dialog box also pops up. However, I find it VERY annoying that it does it when I double click on a PDF and Preview goes through it's initial startup. It NEVER did this before...am I missing some setting?
I know it may seem like a small annoyance but, for some reason, it really bugs me.

Thanks. I guess I wasn't very effective with my search phrases before posting.
It did solve the annoyance but definitely seems like a bug to me. I will post in feedback to Apple since opening a pdf in preview and then automatically opening an open dialog box has no value. It also shouldn't be linked to Documents and Data in icloud being checked or not.

Open Dialog box: disable image preview (For large images, it's SLOOOWWWW)

Open Dialog box in column view:
Can I disable image preview?
For large images, it's SLOOOWWWW !!!!!
( I often work with 8000 x 3500 panoramic images )

William
Mostly this is a problem in PhotoshopOK, my Photoshop is still a Classic version. I was looking at one or two others, like GraphicConverter, but the only pref there seems to be to generate a Preview if one doesn't exist.
I'll look some more—it's irritating me now

A couple things can cause this.
Right click on the red x to find out the name of the png file. Search the web server for that png and make sure that the asp worker has access to it.
The other is a image handler issue. Search the kbase for Red X NET 2005 and you will find a kbase or two that addresses this.

Why can't I preview indd files within InDesign's open file dialog box?

Hello all,
It is bad enough that Adobe doesn't add a plugin to preview any Adobe source file within Windows Explorer (well, except for PDF but I think Microsoft did that).
But I find it ridiculous that I cannot preview .indd source files inside InDesign's Open File dialog box. It just states, "No preview available". I am sure this failure is tied into what Windows can preview... still, not a good excuse!
This is also the same problem in both Illustrator and Photoshop.... neither Adobe program can preview their own file format!
WHY? OR How can I correct this?
[UPDATE: SageThumbs | SourceForge.net seems to partially work on many Photoshop files (works reasonably well as long as I limit the file size to 70mb), it doesn't seem to work on Illustrator files (despite the claim), and it doesn't work on InDesign.]
Still, the question remains, why isn't Adobe taking responsibility for this?

I think you all misunderstood.
I am referring to opening files *within* the Adobe software. Example: Inside InDesign, I click File > Open... I see a list of my .indd files and to the right is a window with the words, "Select a file to preview." If I select an .indd file, I think it is reasonable to assume that I will see a preview of the .indd file... but NO, I just see the message, "No preview available."
In my opinion, this is a failing of Adobe!
> Use bridge
Why would I want to open a separate program just to see thumbnails? Sure Bridge has its uses when I want to look at a lot of different images but I am only talking about quickly seeing a thumbnail before I open a single file within either InDesign, Photoshop, or Illustrator.
Q. If Bridge can render thumbnails, why on Earth would Adobe not place the preview code into the open file dialog of each program?

Missing preview pane in Open dialog box

Recently, the preview pane doesn't show in any file open dialog boxes. For instance, when viewing the list of files in the open dialog box I was previously able to single click on a file and to the right, I would see a preview of the file as well as some basic info. Now, that pane is gone. What's particularly vexing is that this is happening on both my MacBook and my MacBook Pro. On the MBP, I was running 10.6.2 and I ran Software update yesterday to 10.6.3 in an effort to fix it, but the problem is still there.

While I'm not quite sure what you mean, it sounds to me like you had the Open dialog set for Column view, and at some point changed it to List view. Take a look at the toolbar at the top of the Open dialog window, you should see the back/forward buttons, then a group of three icons representing icon, list and column view. Both icon view and column view will show a preview icon of the selected file. Personally, I like icon view, since you see all the files that fit in the window with custom thumbs, and can pick what you want quickly. If you change the setting, in say Safari, to list view (which makes more sense in Safari), then the Open dialog for, say, TextEdit gets changed too. Just change it back by clicking the little icon in the toolbar at the top of the Open window.

Enable "scrolling preview" behind the Crop Pages dialog box in Acrobat 9 ?

Hi everyone,
I want to be able to preview the crop marks (when you click on "Document" and choose "Crop Pages" or Shift+Ctrl+T) before actually cropping all the pages of my documents. When the crop tool dialog box is showing, you can see behind it the crop marks that look like guides. In Acrobat 5, you could scroll the pages even with the crop tool box showing in front of your pages. This way, you could see the crop marks or "guides" on all the pages. But, in version 9, when the crop box is showing, you can only see the crop marks on the page(s) you're working on. You can't scroll behind the box to see what the others pages look like with the crop marks. I've uploaded print screens to make myself a bit more clear (Acrobat 5 vs Acrobat 9) :
http://localhostr.com/files/0484a8/acro5vs9_crop.png
If someone knows a way to get the crop preview scrolling back, maybe with a plugin or Javascript, please let me know !
Thank you all for your help.
Paul B.

Can somebody please help me? Nothing I do seems to open up the "crop dialog box".
I start with Edit > Edit Text & Images. Then, I click the crop symbol, and set the ranges of my desired crop. Then I want to apply this crop, but nothing works.
I've tried:
     - Double Clicking Inside the selected crop-box
     - Double Clicking Outside the selected crop-box
     - Triple Clicking
     - Quadruple Clicking
     - CTRL-SHIFT-T
     - Hitting Enter
     - Right clicking
     - Searching endlessly for some sort of button pertaining to "apply crop", to no avail.
     - Changing to different PDF type (scanned, instead of text-to-pdf) and trying again
     - Yelling
     - Punching
     - Crying
None of the afforementioned seems to work.
Help please?

Print Preview is missing from Firefox 6 on Mac OSX Lion in both File Menu and Print Dialog Box

The question says it all really. Print Preview option is missing from both the File menu and from the Print dialog box when you select Print. I use Print Preview a lot to avoid wasting paper.
A relevant issue might be that the Mac OSX app Preview is currently having trouble with various printers including my Xerox and so, temporarily, the default application for all Preview items is now Adobe Reader until Apple get their act together. Perhaps this is affecting things?
Thanks for any help

It's moved to the PDF dropdown, "Open PDF in Preview"

"Open pdf in Preview" opens extra dialog box

From any app, when I select PRINT: Open pdf in Preview, the Preview app opens and correctly displays the desired page or file but... it also opens the "Open" dialog box allowing me to select a file to open. I simple click on CANCEL but this is an annoyance. Anyone have an idea how I go about tracing down the cause of this strange behavior? The Console reports the following 2 lines:
1/13/13 8:49:39.978 PM MTLAgent[370]: Injecting MTL into com.apple.Preview...
1/13/13 8:49:40.005 PM MTLAgent[370]: warning: failed to get scripting definition from /Applications/Preview.app; it may not be scriptable.

Pahu, thank you. After reading your reply, I found a discussion thread called "preview opens fileopen dialog each time it starts", and the complete answer was there. Basically, just open System Preferences – iCloud, and uncheck "Documents & Data". I did get a message that all corresponding data on my Mac would be erased but the data would remain in iCloud for use on iPhones, etc. Since I don't keep any "documents & data" on iCloud (I only keep contacts, calendar, notes, etc. -- those are separate from documents & data), I accepted this. My problem was immediately fixed.
Thanks so much.

Preview document in open dialog box

I have a brand new IMAC (intel) and I am running appleworks 6 on it successfully. However, on my old IMAC, when I went to the open document dialog box, it would give me a graphic thumbnail of each document as I scrolled down. Now I just get a text description. Is there a preference somewhere to change this?
Thanks in advance.
IMAC Mac OS X (10.4.4)

For AppleWorks files, that's what I'm seeing too, whether I'm in the Open dialogue or in a Finder window.
The only files I see previews of content for are ones for which the application that created them also creates a thumbnail image of the file's contents. A quick look just now showed these were .gif, .jpg, .pict .pdf and .txt files, all saved by applications other than Appleworks.
I can't recall the feature having been different in the past (save when the Open dialogue offered no options to the way files were listed).
Regards,
Barry
