No Print Settings when printing from Leopard to a shared Epson on Tiger

I don't know if this is related to the printing problems in Aperture before Security Update 2008-002 v1.1 but I am still experiencing a missing "Print Settings" menu when printing from MacOS X 10.5.2 (Intel) to an Epson 4800 shared on a Mac (PowerPC) running Tiger. The printer is connected by FireWire.
I tried sharing the printer from a Mac running Leopard and the menu shows fine and printing is perfect. When printing from Leopard directly to the printer everything is okay too.
Should the Mac sharing the printer run the same system as the Macs printing to it? (pretty impossible in any company) or is this a persisting bug.
Thanks for your help.

I solved this. At least for me. After spending an hour on the phone with Epson, they said it was Apple's problem. After spending an hour on the phone with Apple, they said it was Epson's problem. Sound familiar? Anyway I searched around the net for answers and I've found something that has worked. I downloaded this program: Gutenprint Uninstaller from this site http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3 and ran it on both computers. That got rid of any old gimp or guten drivers. Then from the same site I downloaded this package of drivers Gutenprint 5.1.7 and installed it on both computers. On the Tiger computer I added my printer (Epson 1400) selecting the gutenprint driver as its driver. Now my Leopard can see the printer settings and I can choose the type of paper, print quality, etc. These are all found in the printer interface window under "printer features". Hope this works for you. I'm happy again.

Adobe Reader bypasses "secure print" settings when printing from IE add-on

We have the IE add-on for Adobe Reader enabled (Internet Explorer 9), and we've found that for some people this is causing PDFs to get printed without the "secure print" option, even though the print dialog shows it. Our printer settings all have the setting enabled for "secure print", which requires you to enter a PIN on the printer before the print job will be released. When printing PDFs from Adobe Reader (currently 11.0.3, but I couldn't see anything in the release notes for .4, .5. or .6 that are relevant) outside of IE, secure print works fine, but when it's opened within the Adobe Reader plugin for IE, the secure print setting is enabled but the print job gets sent to the printer without the PIN requirement... somehow.
I'm completely stumped by it, and didn't even believe it until I saw it myself.
Does anyone know what might be working differently when a PDF is printed from the add-on than when it's printed by a 'full' instance of Adobe Reader?
On an affected PC, if you disable the add-on, the PDF opens in that full instance and works normally, so it's very definitely related (somehow) to the add-on specifically.

Hey,
I have been advised against monitor calibration, and I'm assuming if all of my other products have come back correct in terms of colour I see on screen that it should be ok?
the person that told me about the Adobe workspace has the same printer, but she works in Photoshop, and had someone set it up for her. She tried to help over phone, but is difficult as we have different versions of Adobe software, and it was a while since she had it done.
My workspace is currently in RGB, so would you suggest working in CMYK?
If I have my workspace set to Adobe RGB (1998) should I then be changing my printer profile to the same one?
I've attached the colour setting screen shot, I've not done anything to change this.
I think I need the setting on bottom image set to 'colour sync' is that right?
I'm also not sure about the relative colourimetric option. When at art college, I was always told to print in perceptual, but not sure which is best option here.

Can I adjust print settings when I use AirPrint?

Hi
I have a MFC-J430W Brother printer set up for Airprint.
When I use Airprint on my ipads or iphones it always comes out in color.
Is there a way to adjust my print settings when using my mobile devices?
I wasn't sure where to place this question. Since the printer is connected to my iMac I am parking it here.
Brother support is underwhelming. But I've noticed the same limitation with other brand Airprint printers.
Thanks

Printing from an iOS device does not give you controls for the print, all you can do is send something to the AirPrint printer. AirPrint is a pretty fundamental level print system.

How do I change the double-sided print setting when printing from a website

I used to know how to change my printer settings when I used a PC but now that I'm using a Mac it's a completely different story. Usually when I print I'm given a print preview screen where I can make choices how to print but some websites just send materials directly to the printer without providing me with a print preview screen so I can change the settings, for example, disabling the double sided feature. Can anyone provide me with simple directions how to correct this issue? I have a MacBook Pro & am printing to an Epson WF-3540. I'm now very computer literate unfortunately. Appreciate any suggestions, especially those that are fairly simple. Thanks so much

Usually when I print I'm given a print preview screen where I can make choices how to print but some websites just send materials directly to the printer without providing me with a print preview screen so I can change the settings,
I cannot identify with what you are saying, as this has never happened to me.
This is a print preview dialog box, in its expanded state. The document it is about to print is the print dialog box, in its non-expanded state. The red arrow points to the control.
Once expanded, there are several screens full of options you can choose from. They are under the pop-up labeled [ Preview ] on this example.

How can i choose a lower quality print density when printing from firefox on my Mac. I cant move the slider along the scale ( I can when printing from the computer).

I can't change the print density when printing from Firefox. It is set at standard and although there is a "slider button" to use for choosing less or more density, it can't be moved. I can tick "grayscale". I can choose the density when printing from the computer. I have a Mac

I also have this problem where I used to be able to shrink a 2 page doc to a single page. Since upgrade to FF4 it no longer works - but you can choose say 60% and it will work. All used to work fine in FF3

HP LASERJET CP1525nw print error when printing online Gmail emails with Google Chrome

HP LASERJET CP1525nw print error when printing online Gmail emails with Google Chrome. Extra large font sizes and weird formatting issues only when printing emails from Gmail within Chrome. No problems when printing the same email from Gmail+Internet Exolorer or Thunderbird. Using the IE Tab extension in Chrome prints the email correctly but the style of Gmail's message window is completely weird ie: formatting bar is spread out vertically instead of horizontally. I believe it is clear that this is an application specific issue between the HP LASERJET CP1525nw printer and Google Chrome + Gmail. This printing scenario does not occur when printing anything else or when printing via another printer. I would appreciate receiving any suggestions to solve this issue.

Any way to get more than 100% zoom on print jobs when printing multiple pages?

I know how to increase the size of a print job, when I am printing one page at a time. But when I go to print 2 pages at once (the multiple page print function), there are always large margins around the page. I'm ok with saving paper and printing up two pages, but it seems silly to see small print and wide blank margins. Is there any way to increase the print zoom, when printing multiple pages per sheet of paper?

I once overshot the limit by marking too many photos to fit within 99 pages, but I could never figure out how to fool the application and had to give up trying to add those 14 extra photos.
I asked a friend (who practically lives in Terminal) if he had any way of modifying that limit, but he reminded me that if their printing services are set up to bind books and bill for only 99 pages, fooling the application might be useless if the service only prints me a 99 page book and discards the additional pages.
I can understand that you wouldn't want to let people print 1000 page books, but I sent feedback anyway to allow me to increase the limit. Anyone know of any service that lets you print beyond iPhoto's limits?

Anyone know why Adobe X & Adobe XI Crashes my shared network printer driver when printing a PDF

Anyone know why Adobe X & Adobe XI Crashes my shared network printer driver when printing on a domain, this only happens when I print a PDF.
I then have to restart the print spooler to get my printouts sent to the printer. I am using a Windows 7 32 & 64 bit environment on a domain. Users who aren't on the domain experience no issues and their printer drivers remain online and not grayed out.
When I print a PDF using Foxit Reader or Nitro PDF then all works fine, the moment I open a PDF using Adobe Reader X or XI then the shared network printer driver bombs out and I am back restarting the print spooler. If we roll back to Adobe 9 then we dont have any issues.
When you create a local printer driver all works fine, the problem is we don't encourage local printer drivers due to security.
We use Ricoh printer drivers, the MPC5501 PCL5C, driver version 1.2.0.0 with PDK version 12.65. We have also tried the PCL6 printer driver and Universal printer driver. All give the same result. The printer uses Winiprint Print processor using RAW as the default data type.
We have contacted Adobe Global Support who advised that they cannot assist with this query as this is on a Domain environment and we have to contact our IT Department.
We would really appreciate some professional help here to get a fix for this issue in order to address potential future occurance's

Why do I have to change printer settings when using Photoshop tiff?

I'm creating a tithe envolope for my church. The text portions were created in the psd using the text tool of course. But, for our church logo, I used a 300 dip tiff, scaled and positioned it at the top left part of the layout. This is all being done inside a life-size area using guide lines to simulate the edges of the envelope. Then I save the entire thing out from Photosop as a tiff. I created a MS Word doc and used Insert>Picture to place the tiff at a place in the Word doc that puts it in the right location when envelopes are loaded into the laserjet printer.
Here's the glitch. If I let the Word doc print at it's default resolution of 300 dpi, the church logo shows up looking very ragged/pixelated. Only by going through the hassle of resetting the printer properties each time to 600 dpi do I get a smooth, clean output. What's going on?

Sounds like an issue with the print driver not retaining previous settings to me.
Keep in mind that printer settings are saved with some kinds of documents (e.g., PSD files). I'm not sure if that's the case with a TIFF, but if so, make sure you save the TIFF file after you print so the settings will be available next time you print it.
There is a known issue with some drivers where you have to go through a few extra steps to get them to retain the settings you make in the Photoshop dialog, but I don't see how that might apply here. To see if it does, do the following:
File - Print.
In the Photoshop print dialog, make whatever settings you like.
Click the [ Print Settings... ] Button, and exit the print driver dialog with [ OK ].
Click [ Print ].
Save and Close your document.
Open the document again.
File - Print.
Click the [ Print Settings... ] button.
Is your dpi preference remembered?

Unable to view Print window when Print triggered from J6NY

Dear Experts
We have enabled Print option for printing the document from J6NY. It works ok when we try to print a document using a Test user in test system in our network on my system(The test user has all the required roles assigned for printing the document from J6NY).
When the Client tries to test it using same test user on his Laptop, he cannot see the print window. But he is able to print the document from the transaction other than J6NY.
We checked below but there is no issue with it.
1) The print queue for default printer on the Client's Laptop, there are no documents available in the queue.
2) The internet settings to see pop up blocker
Any idea what could be the issue and what checks needs to be done in order to resolve this?
Regards
Vaishali

Hi Alok,
This is a known issue : User is not able to view the contents (i.e. reports) of the folders while importing a documents from Deski 3-tier or from infoview however he can view the reports and folders from Deski 2-tier.
Solution:
Upgrade all client machine to the same level of patch as the server
BO always recommends maintaining the same patch level for the BO Server and the Clients
For Example:
   - If Server/ Enterprise: BusinessObjects XI R3.1 then Client should also be on the same patch level. or
   - If Server/ Enterprise: Crystal Reports Server 2008 then Client should Crystal Reports 2008 or
   - Server/Enterprise: BusinessObjects XI R2 or BO XIR2 SP4 then Client [End-user] should also be on XIR2/ XIR2 SP4.
- Also BusinessObjects also recommends that while installation we should install Client product first and then Server product.
For Example:
If you want to deploy BO Enterprise and CR Designer on same machine then we should install Crystal Reports Designer first and then BusinessObjects Enterprise
There are some common files/dll in CR client and BO server and those dll/ files that common folder used by both i.e. why we always suggest user to install Crystal Reports Designer first and then Enterprise/Server. This is not applicable for Desktop Intelligence because it uses other files.
If we install Sever first and then client then those common file/dll wonu2019t install properly (also might be some Server files or dll gets overwritten by Clientu2019s file/dll) and due to this might Crystal Reports will not work properly i.e. some compatibility issue may come with DLLs.
Hope this information helps you.

Idle printing message when printing wirelessly from a Mac - HP Officejet 6600

I am having an issue with my HP Officejet 6600. When I try to print from my Macbook Pro I keep getting an idle message on the print screen. It is showing that it is connected, but will not print. In addtion I have been able to wireless scan to my computer from the printer and test print from the utilities window on my Mac. This problem is baffling because it was able to print last week and now can't. Also the printer will print wirelessly from my PC, but not the Mac. Please help.
This question was solved.

Let's set a static IP address and external DNS for the printer:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') to 250
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway.
- Enter 8.8.8.8 for the first DNS and 8.8.4.4 for the second DNS. This is Google DNS. You can choose another external DNS if you wish.
- Click 'Apply'.
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

Printer Setup Utiliity eliminated from Leopard

Why was the printer set up utility eliminated from Leopard? Used it successfully for years with printing 4-page monthly newsletter written with Pages, duplexed on HP 5550dn. Downloaded Leopard in G5 Power Mac initially but lost Safari bookmarks, Eudora e-mail address book plus unable to open other programs until they play catchup with upgrades. Couldn't print from three networked HP LaserJet printers. Disgusted I went back to old reliable Tiger OS 10.4.10. Then installed Leopard in GG Mac Pro. Glutton for punishment. Same problems but managed to survive and solved printer issue, including being able to compress Pages docs to e-mail reduced file size in pdf. Still unable to resolve Safari bookmark issue.
Not a happy camper being old Mac addict since day one when Jobs was a pup surviving many upgrades, but why did Apple eliminate the Printer Setup Utility Utility in Leopard? Thanks and Regards. Ol' Jim

I just came across this "Missing USB class driver" problem today and was able to get it to work. I followed the Troubleshooting section in this page from Lexmark.com: http://www.lexmark.com/lexmark/sequentialem/home/0,6959,2048165961160493508_0en,00.html
The only problem was when I deleted the Lexmark folder in /Library/Printers/ and then tried to empty the trash, it wouldn't let me empty one file (LexmarkCUPSDriver) because it was saying it was being used. I ended up looking for instances of it in Activity Monitor and force quitting each one (I found 5 of them). After that I went ahead and installed the Lexmark drivers from the Optional Installs package in the Leopard CD. After the install, I went ahead and added my printer back in Print & Fax. I have been able to print fine afterwards. Hope this helps.
