Print dialog box just blinks

I have a user with a PowerBook G4 (OS 10.4.8) all the latest updates. In any program she cna get to the print dialog box and then it just pulsates, never can click,
Fixed permisions, reset pram, nvram, deleted printers reinstalled printers, rest printer utility. still nothing.
Any suggestions??

I haven't seen that, but it does sound a little like the "Xerox plugin" issue. Do a search for Xerox Plugin here.

  • After the latest two updates, whenever Firefox starts, the print dialog box appears automatically. Why, and how do I stop this?

    Not much else to add. The print dialog box just opens every time Firefox is started or restarted.

    Check the Home page setting:
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Print html file without seeing a print dialog box

    i need to script an action that would allow a user to print a sparcly formated html file to a printer while bypassing the normal print dialog box.
    the unix lpr command seems like it might work, but the man page only mentions PS and txt files.
    Ultimately i'd want to trigger the print action from a php script, but it could be a folder action also.
    Does anyone have any suggestions or point me in the right direction.

    lp is the right command to use but you may need to convert the html file in PDF format before printing it. Just test it. Also type man lp to see more options.
    enscript is a nice utility that may help you. man enscript for more.

  • 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?

  • How to suppress print dialog box from popping up under a condition

    Greetings...
    There may be a better way to accomplish what I'm trying to do, so I'm open to outside-the-box suggestions.
    I have a pretty simple page which lists a set of statuses and descriptions of each. The user can edit these status flags and their descriptions on the page as well. When I view the page in "printer friendly" mode, I see a nice simple report of what the statuses are and their descriptions. Everything works great so far.
    In our work request system built in ApEx, there's a page where someone can view the details of a work request, including the current status. When someone clicks on the help of that item, what I'd love to do is simple show the "printer friendly" version the status page mentioned above in a pop up window. My problem is that the print dialog box automatically shows up when a page is displayed in "printer friendly" mode and I do not want this to happen in this case.
    I see the javascript code in the Printer Friendly page template which causes the print dialog box to show up automatically, but I don't want to remove it in the template just for this one case. This would suppress the print dialog box on all "printer friendly" page views and the users are used to it showing up when they ask to print the page.
    I guess I could create a custom request to pass to the master status page which would pretty much do everything that the "printer friendly" mode is doing, but that seems like a lot of work when I'm so close to using something that is built in.
    Am I not seeing some simple other way of doing it or perhaps asking too much? Any suggestions?
    Shane.

    Hi,
    I think you have to call the FM GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS and pass NO_DIALOG = 'X'.
    Something like:
      CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'
        EXPORTING
          no_dialog      = 'X'
        IMPORTING
          out_parameters = ls_params
          valid          = lv_valid
        EXCEPTIONS
          OTHERS         = 1.
      NEW-PAGE PRINT ON PARAMETERS ls_params NO DIALOG.
    * Display Table
      lr_table->display( ).
    add: Spool numbers can be found in TSP01 or in system field SY-SPONO available in the submitting program...
    Hope it helps,
    Kr,
    m.

  • Can't see printer name in the print dialog box as the printer name is too long

    This is actually causing siginificant pain as I am using a tablet and moving around a number of floors/buildings needing to be able to print from where I am.
    When printing from Acrobat reader, the print dialog box that comes up does not have a horizontal scroll bar and does not fit in the names of the printers in my organisation. We are unable to change the printer name, so it basically means that when using Acrobat, we can't select a printer.
    All other windows applications show more characters and also have a horizontal scroll bar in the print dialog box so you can scroll across to see the rest of a long printer name. Why is acrobat not using the standard windows print dialog?
    Has anyone come across this? Help!

    This is the Acrobat forum, not the Reader forum. In the future you should check there. I am not sure why you can not change the printer name, unless you do not have administrator rights. The name of the printer has nothing to do with where the print copy is sent. It is just for the purpose you mentioned of identifying the printer to print to. If you are not the administrator, ask your IT folks to change the name for you and explain why.

  • InDesign CS3 Print Engine Error and Corrupt Print Dialog Box

    We are a networked office working on various files off of a server. After setting print settings in the print dialog box and saving the file, when another user (or the same user) reopens the file, the Print dialog box settings are changed in a bizarre, corrupted way, and the file will not print. We get the following error:
    Printing Error: The Adobe Print Engine has failed to output your data due to an unknown problem.
    and printing fails to the HP LaserJet 4240 PS (64 MB RAM).
    We all use Windows XP, SP2, Dualcore 3 GHz Pentium Processors with 3.5 GB of RAM.
    Specifically, the Print dialog box shows these strange settings:
    Scaling gets set to 0%, copies are set to 0
    Spreads are turned on
    Print Visible Guides and Baseline Grids are turned on
    All printers marks are turned on, offset is set to 0
    Use document bleed settings is turned on, include slug area is selected
    Output Text as Black is turned on
    Omit for OPI has all 3 file formats selected (EPS, PDF, and Bitmap)
    Usually resetting the Print dialog box and saving the file allows us to print but then the next time we open the file, the Print settings are corrupted again.
    Any solutions? Or any fixes in the works?
    Thanks for your help!

    We currently only notice this problem with files associated with one project. The project is a book of many chapters, each with it's own file. The problem affects multiple files and multiple users (4 out of 5 people working on these files have experienced the problem). It may very well be a problem caused by a different user opening the files after another has closed them.
    We have a LAN with multiple Dell servers running Windows 2003 and many end-user PCs using Windows XP. All printers are on the network but printing occurs locally, meaning that data sent to a printer does not go through a server.
    We could test the problem by copying a chapter to one person's computer and making them the only person who works on it for a day or two. It's just hard to do so because different people have different duties to perform on all files.
    Thanks for your help!

  • 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.

  • Saving Photoshop CS5 Print dialog box presets or defaults?

    This question was asked in 2008 for PS CS3 with no answer, so I will ask it again...
    OS 10.6.4
    Using Canon iPF 5100 and 6100 printers
    CS 5 Photoshop
    Is there a way to set a preset in the PS Print dialog window for 'Photoshop manages color' and the ICC profile so that I do not have to reset them every time I print?
    Also, where does PS pull the information for the printers pop-up menu near the top of the Print dialog box? Is this a preset or is it just pulling these printer names from the OS? I ask this because when I switch between one of the iPF printers, the Print > Color Management section defaults back to 'Printer Manages Color' and greys out the profile pop-up menu.
    Thanks.

    No, no presets but you can record the settings in an action. The action can record printer, printer settings and color management settings.

  • 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. 

  • CS3 page setup: in print dialog box???

    I am confused about the page setup in CS3. Coming from Illustr. 10 if I started a drawing in landscape mode and wanted to change into portrait mode I had to change the document and page setup boxes. Now in CS3 there is only a document setup, the page setup is in the print dialog box. Can someone share some light on this?
    Thanks.
    Ulrich

    I think the process is now as it always should have been. It was crazy always having to go to two different dialog boxes just to change one setting. The thinking here is that Illustrator is now smart enough to know to automatically adjust the Page Setup settings for you -- if you rotate the document from Landscape to Portrait for example, AI should be able to figure out on its own that you want it to print that was as well.
    The main point here is that Page Setup options aren't needed much anymore -- most of the options are handled directly within Illustrator's Print dialog (and can hence be saved in Print Presets, etc).

  • 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.

  • Print dialog box comes up after 30 sec delay-why?

    Hi,
    I am in Ai CS4. The first file I open, when I go to print it takes just over 30 secs for the print dialog box to come up. The next time I print, no problem, pops up right away. All subsequent file print dialog boxes come up immediately. Quit Illustrator and it starts all over again. Rebuilt permissions, then rebuilt from startup disk, trashed preferences. Tried changing default printer. Nothing seems to solve this. Mac Quad-Core Intel Xeon, OSX 10.6.3
    Any ideas out there?
    Thanks

    I know you are on a Mac, but on windows a similar problem and even a crash can
    occur when your default printer spooling service is set to manual instead of
    auto.
    Either set your default printer to a virtual printer like "Adobe PDF" or go
    into the printer settings and set spooling to automatic.
