Options wont show up in Print dialog box

I have an HP Photosmart C7280. When I choose print and click the little triangle, there is a drop down box with the following headings:
Layout
*Colour Matching*
*Paper Handling*
*Cover Page*
Scheduler
*Two Sided Printing*
*Paper Type/Quality*
*Borderless Printing*
*HP Real-Life Technologies*
*Printer Driver Information*
*Supply Levels*
Summary
The first five items (and the last two items) all bring up a series of options and settings as you would expect. However, the middle set of five do not bring up anything (just a blank grey area). These are crucial settings and I'm very restricted without them.
They used to work when I was running Tiger.
I also have an HP Laser Printer (2300N) and the HP specific settings work for it (different list)
Mac OSX 10.5.2 and HP C7200 Driver version 9.7.1 (The latest). Problem seems to happen in all applications, today I found it in Mail.app, iPhoto, Preview and Things
Can anyone offer any advice?

Ok Very happy to say I got it working.
The first time I tried a full un-install of the HP Software and re-added the printers and the blank dialogue problem was still there. So to test it I booted my MacBook Pro from an external hard drive running a clean OSX 10.5.2 and installed the "HP Installer PSC7200 series v9.7.1". This time the printer dialogue had all the HP options.
So with renewed vigour I went back to my internal boot drive and once again un-installed the HP software. The only thing extra I think I did this time was I also removed "InstalledPrinters.plist" from the system Library. Then I installed "HP Installer PSC7200 series v9.7.1" and re-added the HP C7280 Printer
And its fixed!
I'm happy to have access to my Photo Paper tray again. Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

    Since I starting using my MacMini (2011 version) I have not been able to print double sided from my HP Photosmart plus - there is no option for this in the Printer dialog box as there was in the similar dialog box on my PC. How do I set up this option?

    1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
    Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
    Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
    How much free space on it now?

  • Native print dialog box

    I want to show a native print dialog box when the user clicks on my printButton.
    I have the following code for this:
    private void printButtonActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                           
            try
                PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
                job.setPrintable(this);
                if (job.printDialog())
                    job.print();
            catch (PrinterException e)
               JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, e);
        }    I have also a page setup button:
    private void setupButtonActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                           
            PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
            //selectedFormat is a member variable
            selectedFormat = job.pageDialog(selectedFormat);
        }  The problem is the changes I have made in "setup" doesnt take effect in printing...
    How can I solve this? (with native dialog box) Thanks

    You are right, I�ve just proved it with job as a member variable and it works in a perfect way, thanks ;).
    I have another question related to this solution, by the fact to declare job as member variable :
    PrinterJob job=PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();Are a lot of resources being wasted?
    Thanks ;)

  • Removing PDF options in print dialog box

    When I bring up the print dialog box and click on "PDF" to go to the options for saving the document as PDF, how do I remove some of the options from that list? I installed software that put an option in that list, but I don't use the software so I want to remove that PDF option from the list but don't know where to go to remove it.

    ~/Library/PDF Services or /Library/PDF Services

  • What happened to the ColorSync option in my print dialog box?

    I am using a Canon Selphy CP 740 for photo printing with my Alu iMac, and since new, I noticed most / all of the photos came out too dark. However I discovered the ColorSync option to lighten the image, and this fixed the problem. Since upgrading to Leopard (10.5.1), this option no longer appears in my print dialog box. I have looked at the ColorSync utility in the Utilities folder, but this printer doesn't appear in the devices listed there. Is there any answer to my problem?

    Found out Color Sync was left up to the individual manufacturers to use or not use in their drivers.

  • How can I get print dialog box to show accurately?

    My print dialog box shows the image too large. If I go to print it prints correctly. I have tried updating drivers and reinstalling Illustrator. It has been happening since new update to CC.

    When viewing the print settings, in the Summary List, it shows the Paper width as 9 inches rather than 8.5.
    The Navigator window shows (in my test file) 4 plus signs across the top of an 8.5 by 11 inch page.
    The Print Preview in the Print Dialog shows  only 3.  My printer is set to standard 8.5 by 11 page size.
    Everything prints perfectly in CS6 when I bring the file in.

  • Print dialog box changed, no longer offers certain options

    One of my users suddenly noticed that two of her machines' print dialog boxes have changed when trying to print out of Acrobat.  She's used to seeing this screen when she goes to print:
    However now she sees this screen instead, and it's missing the Page Size & Handling options.
    Using Acrobat X Standard, tried reinstalling but it didn't fix the problem.  Any ideas? 

    Which dot version of Acrobat X Standard is loaded?  Update to the latest version which I believe is 10.1.10 now.

  • PSE 10 - Print Dialog box - Preview shows incorrect file

    PSE 10 - Print Dialog box - Preview shows incorrect file.  Preview shows an open, but minimized file, however, it does not show the active, open file that I want to print.  Rather than have to go through the organizer to choose the correct file and delete the incorrect file, how can I make sure that the targeted file I want to print appears in the Print dialog preview window and actually prints?

    Thanks, Barbara.  I've used PSE for years and never knew this.  Such an easy solution.  Thanks for quick response!

  • SInce Tiger to Leopard Upgrade, Print Dialog Box Is too Basic, No Options

    Since I upgraded from Tiger to Leopard recently, it seems the print dialog box for my HP printers (Officejet 8500 Pro Wireless, Photosmart 6150) is small and basic and does not offer the print options I am used to having like selecting a specific page to print instead of printing them all. Any way to restore that functionality and get back to the larger more flexible dialog box?

    Thought I did and all that did was offer different printers, but I am wrong and you are right. Blue triangle is exactly what I was looking for.

  • Show print dialog box and print content of page

    Hi,
    I'm building a java webdynpro for the sap portal.
    When the user clicks on a button, I want to print out the content of the application.
    Is there any option to do this in java?
    I already found a possible solution like PrinterJob.getPrinterJob(), but this gives me an exception: java.awt.HeadlessException
    Any help!

    Can you tell us if you are using Windows of Mac OS? The Mac OS version of Reader has a Printer button on the bottom of the Print dialog box that brings up the standard printer dialog box.

  • Print Dialog box wont appear when "Print Pages" from Bookmarks Window

    When I use the "print pages" option from the Bookmarks window the pages are sent directly to the default printer with the default settings. How do I get the print dialog window to appear if I select "print pages" from the Bookmarks window so that I may modify the print settings?

    I wasn't aware that you could get the print dialog box to appear after dragging a supported file to the alias, regardless of where it resided. I've never seen this happen on 10.4.x or 10.3.9 so I tested the Option key and found it didn't force the dialog box to appear either. Tried a few others keys also but no luck in getting the box to appear.
    Re the fierycupsfilter issue. EFI have released an updater that replaces the system-provided version and therefore stops the need to modify the ppd.

  • Print dialog box code with scale to paper size option

    Can anyone tell about the java code that can be used to generate a print dialog box with "Scale to paper size" option.

    manual wrote:
    The path given does not match my installation (i.e. no "Xtras" folder).
    The 'Xtras' folder has nothing to do with Adobe Reader (nor Acrobat); that is part of Shockwave Player.

  • After updating to Firefox 32.0.3 Print Dialog box will not apear in XP/Win7Pro after a while but a restart of Firefox will allow it to show up again..

    After automatically updating to 32.0.3 last Thursday and this Monday on all our Staff and Patron computers both Win7 pro and XP pro we have seen Firefox sessions that will not bring up the Print Dialog. The Print Preview dialog will come up but no print button or print menu item will bring up the Print Dialog. After you close Firefox and reopen it the Print Dialog box will work again for some time. The websites that Patron and Staff use during a session are different and done seem to be the cause. The Firefox settings are at fault because a simply restart of just Firefox fixes the issue and no other web browsers or application has any problem with displaying the Print Dialog at any time. Again this began on all the computers as soon as 32.0.3 was installed automatically over night.

    Hi NPLD,
    Thank you for your question, I understand that there are multiple computers that no longer have a working print dialogue after a while of using Firefox. However after a restart, the print dialogue continues to act normally.
    Does resetting the printing settings on the affected computers only temporarily change this as well?[[Fix printing problems in Firefox]]
    I noticed it when I tested this page: [http://www.housebeautiful.com/decorating/home-makeovers/1920s-home-before-after?src=spr_FBPAGE&spr_id=1451_94608649#slide-2] However I cannont reproduce it all the time. The print icon in the page has a opened a printable view and then the print dialoge comes up. When I switched to another program, that icon did not open the preview.
    Do you notice any about:config entries that change when you see this start to happen?

  • Current View option in  the Print dialog box

    I have a PDF file, approximately 55 pages that is comrpised of 50+ .jpg images that were combined into a single PDF file. The images are various size screenshots from Facebook.
    I need to be able to print the entire file at 75% magnification in order for every page to be readable.  Only way in Adobe’s print dialog box that I can find to do so is select one page at a time, select “Current View” and then print. 
    When "All" is selected under Print Range in the Print Dialog box, the pages print at different magnifications, most below 10% and unreadable.
    Is there a way to get the entire document to print in the “Current View” setting or at a specified magnification?
    I’m using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    duh...
    Figured out I had to tweak it in the "copies and Pages"
