NO PRINTER PREFERENCES DIALOGUE BOX IN CS3 FOR EPSON R2880

I am running CS3 on a mac OS X and have just bought an Epson printer R2880. I cannot get any dialogue box up that will give me any printer options other than the basic print size, orientation and position on the paper. My only solution so far is to Copy & Paste into Pages where I can access a few more options & get reasonable prints. Has anyone found a way round this ?

Sorry, Ill expand.
Its Mac OS/X Leopard. Running Adobe CS3. When I try and print a photo from Adobe CS3, I go to file print which displays a dialogue box (Titled Print). This dialogue box displays many print options e.g. size and orientation , position on the page etc but not a facility i.e dialogue box to select the paper type as an example e.g photo glossy , photo matt etc. These options are available from many of the other programs such as Pages and Easy Print and various other applications. Indeed I can take a photo from CS3 , convert to tiff as an example and print using these options from Easy Print. I would however like to access the full printer settings from CS3. I think this issue has been seen before in the professional range of printers.
I have spoken to Epson who say their printer and driver is fine as all the facilities work from other apps.
Adobe support said CS3 didnt support the preferences but to try a forum to see how people get round it. Hence here I am!
It is very strange that a photo application as advanced as CS3 wont let me choose a paper type for a semi professional printer like the Epson R2880.

Can't click anything in firefox after closing "printer error" dialogue box.

I'm trying to print an important document off the internet in Firefox. I can't try to restart Firefox without losing access to this document but after closing a "printer error" dialogue box I am unable to click anything in Firefox. I can't use "ctrl+p" to print or any of the other keyboard shortcuts. Right-clicking is also not working.
Running task manager doesn't show any tasks other than the one Firefox window and that shows up as "running" so I don't think it's a case of the dialogue box still being open.
I CAN right-click on Firefox on the status bar to open a new window (which works perfectly fine) or to open a new tab in the malfunctioning window (which is frozen as well).

Goto Firefox Menu - File > Exit
Try in safe mode
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

I dont know how to bring up the printer settings dialogue box

i dont know how to bring up the printer settings dialogue box with my macbook pro in order to adjust the lightness/darkness of my prints. my friend has the same model printer as me and can adjust the lightness of his prints using a pc but the same dialogue box doesnt appear with my mac.the printer is epson office b1100

You can do this from the print dialog box. For instance, in Safari (which I guess you're looking at now) drop down the 'File' menu and select 'Print'. This brings up the print dialog box. Underneath the basic settings you'll see another menu, it currently says 'Safari', but if you drop that down you get all the options for adjusting colour, paper handling, etc...

Officejet 5610 All-in-One Printer: Properties dialogue box for Mac OS

I recently connected an Officejet 5610 to a Macbook Air (OS 109.2) & was offered the default driver download which I accepted. The Properties options for the printer are very much different than for Windows XP that I was using and seem to offer far fewer choices. If I install drivers from the CD that came with the printer (Macintosh CD version 7.9.0), purchased in May 2007, will the Properties control be more extensive?

Hello HP-5610,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're wondering why the Officejet 5610 properties is different using a 10.9.2 operating system. I will do my best to assist you! For this printer and for your operating system, there is only a basic print driver using a Apple Update.
Please follow this HP document on OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac. This is properly why you have limited options since there isn't a full feature driver.
If you have any further questions, please let me know. Have a great night!

Avoid Printer selection Dialogue box when printing Crystal report in JAVA

Hi i am calling crystal report in my servlet using Report Client Document SDK, now i want to print the report directly to the default printer set without selecting the printer from the select printer dialogue box. In other words want to avoid the select printer dialogue box from appearing . Can any body suggest me how do i do this .
Any suggestions appreciated.

In javascripting the code is
function Print()
if (document.all)
WebBrowser1.ExecWB(6, -1) //use 6, 1 to prompt the print dialog or 6, 6 to omit it;
WebBrowser1.outerHTML = "";
<object ID="WebBrowser1" WIDTH="0" HEIGHT="0"
CLASSID="CLSID:8856F961-340A-11D0-A96B-00C04FD705A2">
But the above code does not work in windows XP SP2.... and i cannot restrict my clients OS.
where as C#,ASP.NET provides the functionality to print directly to printer as
The ReportDocument class provides PrintToPrinter method that may be used to print a CR direct to the printer. If no printer is selected, the default printer will be used to send the printing pages to.
The PrintToPrinter method takes four parameters.
nCopies : Indicates the number of copies to print.
collated : Indicates whether to collate the pages.
startPageN : Indicates the first page to print.
endPageN : Indicates the last page to print.
The following steps will guide you to achieve the same:
Add crystal report (.cr) file to your ASP.NET application.
Add a report instance on the page level.
Dim report As MyReport = New MyReport
Populate reports data on Page_Init
' Get data in a DataSet or DataTable
        Dim ds As DataSet = GetData()
        ' Fill report with the data
     report.SetDataSource(ds)
Print Report
report.PrintToPrinter(1, False, 0, 0)
If you wish to print certain page range, change last two parameters From to To page number.
If you want to set page margins, you need to create a PageMargin object and set PrintOptions of the ReportDocument.
The following code sets page margins and printer name:
Dim margins As PageMargins = Report.PrintOptions.PageMargins
   margins.bottomMargin = 200
   margins.leftMargin = 200
   margins.rightMargin = 50
   margins.topMargin = 100
   Report.PrintOptions.ApplyPageMargins(margins)
   ' Select the printer name
   Report.PrintOptions.PrinterName = printerName
Thn Why not a java SDK for Crystal report can provide such a functionality...

How to modify System Preferences dialogue box text.

I know that to change any dialogue box for the finder the path is Devices (name of your device) > (drive name) > System > Library > CoreServices > Finder.app > Contents > Resources > English.lproj. If you open that file with Text Wrangler you can modify any finder message to whatever you want it to be, my question is how can you do the same thing but for the System Prefrences application? I don't know what path to follow for that. Thank you for any possible assistance!

I'm specifically trying to modify the dialogue box that appears when you want to modify (add or delete) user accounts in System Prefrences "System Preferences is trying to unlock Users & Groups preferences. Type your password to allow this." However I can't seem to find it in either the Finder or System Preferences English.lproj files. Where else might I look? Or do you think I just missed it?

How to find Printer preferences in Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac?

Does anyone have an idea where or how to access the printer preferences or dialog box through Elements 8 for mac? I have an Epson R2880 and am trying to access the printer preferences to be able to change the paper type, print in B/W or choose different things. I am able to access this on Elements 8 for Windows but not for Mac, does it exist or am I looking in the wrong place?

After you click Print in the PSE print window, the OS X print window appears. You may need to click the arrow to the right of the printer's name to expand the dialog box to see the menus, but you'll find the paper/ink settings in the pulldown menu in the middle of the larger window.

Mail Preferences Dialogue Box

I don't appear to be getting the correct dialogue box when I click on "Mail", "Preferences". A dialogue box that is titled "Accounts" appears. I know looking at a friends Mac, he gets an entirely different box. We both appear to have the same version of mail....
How do I get the correct box?
Thanks

Aren't there some tabs at the top of the preferences window ranging from "Accounts", "RSS", "Junk" to "Signatures" etc.? Just click on one of these buttons to open up the corresponding settings window. (Note: The preferences window always opens up with the tab that was last used.) Did that solve your issue?

Cs6- need to enable printer's color management in Print settings dialogue box

I have been printing successfully for months to my Epson R2400. Suddenly, I am getting a Caution Triangle with a note that says "Remember to enable the printer's color management in the print settings dialog box. I have selected Color Handling: Printer manages in the Photoshop Print Settings box. Where else would I make this change.

Just select Photoshop Manages Color, and the printer driver color options should be disabled.

Prints off color in Elements 10 with Epson R2880 printer

I am printing with elements 10 using epson r2880 all colors are off and printing to magenta. I have changed the settings to indicate ultra premiun photo paper luster. and adobe rgb mode, gamma 2.2 ina advanced. why cant i get on color prints?

Thanks John. I tried deleting the Epson printer folder from the library like you said and then checked for Software Updates. But Apple did not indicate that there were any for my OS (probably because I had installed the latest OS update this morning). So I installed the driver from the Epson site with the printer folder removed. But this did not work because when I tried to print the computer indicated that there were missing files. So, I reinstalled the Epson folder that I had just moved to trash, deleted the new Epson folder, then tried reinstalling the Epson driver with the original folder in place. THIS WORKED! Finally, I am off and printing but with little knowledge gained about the inner workings of my computer.
