Print Dialog box issues

When I make changes to a print parameter, ie add crop marks, the changes only appear if I select a different media size than what I was working in. Say I was working in CUSTOM. If I add crop marks, I have to chose another media size, say, LETTER, then come back to CUSTOM for the change to take place. In previous versions, I only had to CLICK on the media size I was working in, say, CUSTOM and the change was applied. Sort of a nuisance. Any suggestions?

Printer type makes no difference. This has to do with the PRINT DIALOG BOX (CTRL-P) and the MEDIA SIZE option within. Below are the screen shots which depict the issue.
#1 - print dialog box open and select CUSTOM under media size.
#2 - selecting trim marks and bleed
#3 - back to the GENERAL tab where just clicking on CUSTOM does not change the preview
#4 - you must choose a different size - in this case A3 for the preview to update and show the crop mark and bleed selections.
#5 - finally going back to CUSTOM updates the preview to show how the image will print
#6,7 & 8 - shows the process in reverse when you deselect the CROP MARKS and BLEED. Must still choose a difference MEDIA SIZE for preview to update.
In previous versions of Illus, all you needed to do was click on the CUSTOM media size selection and the preview would update. When you print as often as we do, this little annoyance gets quite bothersome.
Hope this explains it.

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?

I can no longer print to the 3 Canon printers on my local area network. The print dialog box states that the print file is accepted and the job is printing, but the files never print. Everything worked when the computer and printers were initially set up.

I can't help with the scan/print problem. You seem to have done everything I would try.
I don't know if maybe using a registry cleaner would help.

Printer dialog box does not appear in Photoshop CS.5

I use Photoshop CS.5.1 with a Macbook 2013 using version 10.9.5. The printer works perfectly with all other applications but in Photoshop no printer dialog box comes up and the print job does not appear in the printers queue. Anyone the same issues?

First, try nuking (deleting them and letting the application create new ones) your Photoshop preferences:
To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (Bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
Important: If you re-create the preferences by deleting the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
NEW Video! Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here.
Mac OS
Important: Apple made the user library folder hidden by default with the release of Mac OS X 10.7. If you require access to files in the hidden library folder to perform Adobe-related troubleshooting, see How to access hidden user library files.

Photoshop cc print dialog box image dark

I'm on a MacBook Pro running Mt. Lion with PS CC, an Eizo monitor, printing with an Epson 3880, calibrated and profiled with a ColorMunki. When I preview an image to print, the image is darker in preview, and the color is much different than the actual image. When I print with the proper paper profile, (photoshop manages color and the space is Adobe 1998) it prints looking like the preview image rather tha the one on the monitor. I also run Snow Leopard on a partition with CS6, and the above does not happen, everything works fine. A photog friend of mine with a similar setup is experiencing the same problem since upgrading to Mt. Loin. Another graphic designer friend is running Mavericks and is has the same problem. I have another photog friend in Nashville who is having THE SAME PROBLEM!! Does anyone know what the heck is going on? I'm the only one who kept Snow Leopard so I can still print, which I do on almost a daily basis. What broke what? Is it a bug with PS CC, or did something in MT. Lion break? This is very frustrating for all of us and I find it totally unacceptable.
If anyone has a clue and can help, we would be eternally greatfull.
Thanks,
Greg Nikas

Thanks for the tip on inserting photos. I'm new here, won't post a link in the future.
I'll try to simplify my issue;
1. In CS6 in Snow Leopard, the original/source image looks just like the image in the print dialog box and prints beautifuly. See images below.
Original image.
Print dialog box image.
2. In PS CC and CS6 in Mt. Lion, the original/source image is redder and more saturated than the image in the print dialog box, but the print looks like the the image in the print dialog box. The image in the print dialog box looks like the original/source image in CS6 in Snow Leopard! See images below.
Original image.
Print dialog box image.
3. The issue seems to be with how the original/source image in PS CC and CS6 renders in Mt. Lion. As I said in my intial post, I have three friends who are having the same problem and none of us can figure it out, and I'm the only one who kept Snow Leopard.
4. I'm on a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard and Mt. Lion on a partitioned disk.
5. I have an Eizo CG222W monitor, which is calibrated with an x-rite ColorMunki. Each OS has it's own calibration profile.
6. I print on an Epson 3880 using the latest driver, and all papers have thier own profile and look the same when printed from either OS.
7. All settings in PS CC, CS6 and Bridge are identical in both OS's.
I hope this is stated more clearly.

Print Dialog Box won't Open

My husband has an Intel Mac Mini that has issues. He can't open the print dialog box from any application--Mail, Firefox, Quickbooks, Word, etc. He can't print anything at all because the dialog box won't open when selecting <file> and <print> or clicking the print icon if there is one in that application. I deleted the printers and reinstalled the drivers...nothing. I upgraded from OS 10.7 to 10.8...again nothing. I zapped the pram...still nothing. I've been using Macs for 15 years and this issue has got me stumped. Any suggestions?

I was unable to find the SavedData file. I am running Windows 7 and there seems to be two files there /Roaming/Adobe/InDesign and /Roaming/Adobe/AdobeInDesing5.5 and neither one has a clear file name "InDesign SavedData" for me to remove. I think I found the "InDesign Debaults" under the /Roaming/Adobe/InDesign/version7.5/en_US/InDesignDefaults. Is that one it?

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"

Adobe Reader XI - print dialog box blank - Windows 8

Using the latest version of Adobe Reader XI, The print dialog box either comes up blank as shown in file 1 and I have no control over printing. OR it comes up with all the labels missing, see File 2 - yet I can control some features by clicking on the blank boxes.

One reason that the Acrobat/Reader dialogs will not display correctly is when the needed system fonts have been removed or uninstalled.
Or it may be that the default font is changed.
Try to reinstalled the Segoe font family and check if it corrects the issue.
Also You can follow the below steps for restoring the default font and removing any font changes you’ve made. After the restore, check if the issue is resolved or not?
1. Open Fonts by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, and then clicking Fonts.
2. In the left pane, click Font settings.
3. Click Restore default font settings.
You can also check the corrupted fonts by running Microsoft’s Font Validator from http://www.microsoft.com/typography/FontValidator.mspx

EPSON printer update v2.3.1: color controls now dimmed @ print dialog box

I have lost the ability to control color in the Print/Print Settings dialog box after this update. The Ink tab is dimmed and set to "Color," the Color Settings tab is also dimmed and set to "Off (No Color Adjustment)," and the Advanced tab brings up only information about the Colorsync profile. The graphic file (Photohop) I'm printing from is a grayscale file.
There is no difference in the Print dialog box between having Photoshop manage the colors or having the Printer do it.
My concern is that the printer will now be consuming color ink, but the actual prints appear to be using only the matte black.
Anybody else run into this? Should I be concerned?
Thanks

From PHOTOSHOP (CS4) In the printer driver menu, the COLOR MATCHING pulldown shows the choices are grayed out. But go to the PRINT SETTINGS pulldown. There you should be able to select BLACK/COLOR Ink, color settings if appropriate (VIVID etc)...
Apparently not all programs gray out the COLOR MATCHING boxes - a demoed a RIP that does not do this but it has other issues (ImageNext2.1).
Also CS4 has the ability to completely disable color management (used for printer profiling), but some apps cannot do this with this driver (ImageNest2.1, DataColor Spyder3Print)

Apps crash when selecting HP Business Inkjet 2600 in print dialog box

Hope someone can help. With an open PDF document I select the print dialog box. If I select the HP Business Inkjet 2600 the application crashes (tried Preview and Adobe Acrobat). I can select other printers fine.
What I have tried so far:
Logged into root account and the issue does not occur, indicating a permissions issue.
I have tried repairing permissions using disk utility with no success.
I have tried creating a new admin account and the same fault occurs in that account.
I have reset the printing system and re-added the printer - no success.
The system is a PowerMac G5 2GHz, 768 MB RAM, 10.4.8
Please help : )
PowerMac G5 2GHz, 768 MB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.8) HP Business Inkjet 2600

Don't worry, solved it. Tested the printer using my powerbook G4 running 10.4.8. It worked fine so I copied the HP folder from /Library/Printers from the PB to the PM G5, repaired permissions using disk utility, rebooted and the G5 can now print fine to the HP.

Printer dialog box does not appear

When I do File>Print I'm getting the following error message:
"The saved printer information is not compatible with this version of Photoshop, or the saved printer is no longer available. You will need to check your printer settings before printing."
The Print option then gets grayed out and a print dialog box never appears. Don't you need the printer dialog box to select the printer? How can I select a printer so that at least the dialog box comes up?

Someone had a similar issue below and their solution fixed my problem also:
Go into windows control panel and get into the printer section. Choose another printer as the default printer as in MS XPS document writer and save. Then open PS back up and select what you want to print and also the printer you want to print on.

InDesign CS5 crashing from print dialog box

Using CS5, multiple computers, some on Leopard, some on Snow Leopard. Printing to a Xerox Phaser 7500. When we set up to duplex print in the print dialog box, the application shuts down when we hit the "print" button. I've searched all through these forums, and the Xerox site, and can't find anything that sounds like this problem.
Brand new printer, latest drivers, all Mac OS updates applied.
Any ideas?

There are also reports that there are many other types of issues which causes the hang ups, not just printing issues. What I have found is that one of the problem is font related. I found that I had multiple versions of the Times font and that the documents which I had hanging the most would contain the Times font. I deleted the font and replaced it with Cambria. Now those documents seldom will hang. My guess is that neither the latest version of OSX or CS5 works well with older fonts.
I still get an occasional hang which requires me to force quit IDCS5. When I do, about 3 out of 5 times, it sends an crash report to Apple but not to Adobe so I still think their is some conflict between IDCS5 and the operating system. I am currently running OSX 10.6.5.
The problem I find is that I am getting the occasional hangs randomly. Sometimes its when packing a file, sometimes it when selecting the type tool. But I've also run into the problem when opening another document.
