Print Dialog Missing Text, Icons

For the last few months my print dialog has been pretty screwy looking:
Anyone have a clue what is going on here?

I just tried reinstalling the latest update and it didn't seem to help. Is there anything else I could try that is a little less severe than a complete OS reinstall?

Print dialog missing

I'm running Lightroom 5.2 with OSX 10.8.5 on a Mac Pro with 14 Gigs of RAM.
The first time I click the Print button in the Print module, I get -- as expected -- the OSX print dialog for paper type, etc.
However, if I don't change images and click the Print button again, the Print dialog does NOT appear, and the print job proceeds as normal. In past versions of Lightroom, the print dialog always appears for every print job from Lightroom.
Is this a bug? Or is there some new option/feature that I've overlooked?
Thanks,
Dave

CS5 print dialog missing Epson 7800 profiles

Is there a simple way to get my Epson printer profiles to load onto CS5. I'm normally quite good at solving these things by myself, but this case has me well stumped. Help anyone?

Again: in CS5, the profiles that the driver says belong to the selected printer will show up at the top of the menu. Any custom profiles you have built for that printer will also be in the menu, in the normal alphabetical list.
If there are no profiles at the top, that is because the driver hasn't identified any profiles as belonging to the chosen printer.
If there are no additional profiles listed, that is because there is a problem with how you installed them on the system.
We haven't seen any problems with this yet.

Print Dialog Text Missing for Adobe Reader X

I recently updated my computer [Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 SP 3] to Adobe Reader 10. After installing I starting seeing some minor issues pop up:
1st on the Intro splash page, some of the text is cut off of it.
/>
Secondly, When I go to print all the text is missing from the Print Dialog. This issue only appears when utilizing Adobe Reader X. No other software has this issue.
/>
Please help. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know how to fix this? I think the application is looking for a font and maybe the font isn't installed. I paired them down to the basics, because it was slowing down my computer.I would appreciate any assistant.

Email printed to PDF, PDF appears accurate in Acrobat XI Pro, when PDF printed to paper text missing

HELP!!!
I have text disappear from Outlook emails printed to PDF when I print the PDF files from Acrobat XI Pro to a printer.
Here is a sample png from the PDF file printed out of Outlook - all the text is showing.
However when I print the PDF from Acrobat to a printer, the document comes out of the printer with text missing as shown:
The Acrobat print window shows all of the text that should be there as does Acrobat's view of the document.
Also, if I save the file to an image, all of the text is there.
I have tried different emails as well as different printers and the paper printed copies of the PDF emails are always missing text.
Additionally I have tried coverting the PDF file to a PDF/A file and printing that and the same problems occur.
Please send some tips as to how I can fix this!

Hello Atul -
i am having similar printing issues with Acrobat 10.1.4.
in my case both PDFs made by me (from InDesign files) and other PDFs made elsewhere and sent to me are missing text when printed to paper -though they look fine both on-screen and in the preview pane, as Katy noted above.
these PDFs print fine when i open and print from an older version of Acrobat (9.5.2).
they will also print fine from 10.1.4 if i send them to another printer in the office, (a Dell Color Laser 3110cn), the printer i have a problem with is a Kyocera Mita KM-5053 - which leads me to believe that this is some kind of communication error between Adobe Acrobat Pro 10.1.4 and this printer, or perhaps a driver issue. ?
I don't believe it's merely a preferences/print settings problem as i've gone pretty carefully through all the dialog boxes that seem relevant and have had no luck in solving the problem. Also, the text that's missing seems arbitraty - meaning, it's not merely hyperlinks or certain layers or text in specific type faces that won't print -it's content in the same text box, where other text does print, and it's blacks and colors and various point sizes - in short there are no easily discernable unifying circumstances among the text that does not print.
obvioulsy an easy work around is to just print to the other printer or use the older version of Acrobat, but my concern is more that other people may be experiencing the same issues with PDFs i send them. so if it is a problem in the way i'm generating PDFs (although, as i said, text is also missing from PDFs i have received from other people and printed) i'd like to fix it quickly, so that people trying to print my PDFs don't end up with critical content missing.
i'm on a 2008 MacBook Pro running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5, and using the Acrobat (X Pro v 10.1.4) that came with the CS6 Design & Web Premium package - although i'm looking at it online now and it's listed as Acrobat XI Pro..
any input you have would be much appreciated.
thank you,
bethany

Pages 5.2 Table missing text when printed

I created a document with several tables. These tables contain algebra formulas with superscript. I read in another forum that the issue may be the use of the superscript. However their problem only occurred when printing the document as a PDF. I am having the problem printing from both Pages and as a PDF. Some superscript appears as it should. Not all missing text is superscript.
Any ideas? I hate to have to recreate this document in Word. I took me forever to create.
Mavericks 10.9.3
Pages 5.2

Known limitation with Pages v5.2. If you had Pages ’09 installed before the upgrade downgrade to Pages v5.2, it was moved to /Applications/iWork ’09.
You will need to export from Pages v5.2 as Pages ’09 in order to process your work in the older Pages version. You will also need to open the Pages ’09 document either through that Applications file chooser, or via the right-click, contextual menu Open with > Pages (4.3). Double-clicking with both Pages installed will default to using Pages v5.2.
LibreOffice is a free alternative to MS Word, and works better with Mavericks than does OpenOffice.

"Save to Adobe PDF" missing in Mac print dialog

I've just upgraded to a new machine, and the "Save to Adobe PDF" option is missing from the PDF drop-down menu in the print dialogue. I'm running Mac OS 10.8.3 and CS 6. I believe that Acrobat X is supposed to automatically install this option into the main print dialog; what can I do to get it installed if it got left out of the initial CS6 installaion?

OK thank you. I feel like I'm still not quite getting my question across. I don't think that PDF Maker is what I was using last week before I got a new machine; wasn't that the thing that showed up in the upper portion of the Print dialog, in amongst your physical printers? That is not what I was using. I was using the Save to Adobe PDF.app (an Automator app) that stays in the PDF Services folder in the Library. You access it via the PDF button in the bottom left of the Print dialog. This was using Acrobat 9 and OS 10.6.
Your description above makes it sound like when I go to that button I would get a contextual menu that lets me choose the quality of the PDF. I don't have that choice. This is the contextual menu I get under PDF in the Print dialog:
I used to have an additional entry there in the middle section called Save to Adobe PDF. That brought up a dialog with a drop down menu that showed all of the preset settings I have made for PDF creation, and I could choose my quality there, choose a location, and save. I had full control over all the settings. I just need a choice that brings up that dialog, and Save as PDF doesn't do it (it just uses the native OS PDF generator).
The second method does not work on my machine either. If I try to drag a Word doc into Acrobat it tells me it is not a supported file type, and says "To create an Adobe PDF document, go to the source application. Then print the document to Adobe PDF." this indicates to me that somewhere I should still have the ability to choose Adobe PDF rather than Mac OS PDF.
I can save to PostScript and drop the file onto Distiller -- as long as the Distiller settings are set correctly already, because it starts creating the PDF immediately with no dialog in between to make choices. I can live with that, but I would rather have my Automator workflow back to do it in one step. (sadly I don't know enough about Automator right now to easily do this myself, but maybe this is a good chance to learn.)
I know that I have seen this workflow mentioned as something that is installed along with Acrobat X but maybe people are mistaken about that and it was just left over from a previous install. I know for sure that the workflow that was working on the old machines was outdated; it was 32-bit and can't even be opened in the current version of Automator. So the old one clearly won't work any more. For now I'm going to set up a Distill folder on my desktop with the settings I use most often, and direct my PS files there.
Thanks for the detailed reply even though I can't quite make it all work!

How to change the icon for print dialog?

Hello,
I have a JTable, and with the print() method, I'm able to bring up the Print dialog and successfully print the contents of the table. Example:
myTable.print( JTable.PrintMode.FIT_WIDTH, myHeaderFormat, myFooterFormat );This works great, but one small detail I'd like to change is the icon in the top-left corner of the dialog. The icon is currently the default Java coffee cup icon, while the rest of my application uses my custom icon. I couldn't find any documentation in the API or tutorials that Java has listed which shows how to change the icon, so I'm not even sure if it's possible (but why shouldn't it be?).
My question is this: Is it possible to change the default icon in the print dialog? Or do I have to either make my own print dialog somehow, or use a third-party print dialog?
Thanks

tjacobs01: Appreciate the assistance (despite your sass). I've already searched the API, tutorials, and this forum. I'm already well aware of the setIconImage() method for JFrame -- after all, that's how I set the icon for my other frames as I previously mentioned. However, I want to set the icon for the print dialog called from the print() method of JTable.
How would I use setIconImage() for the print() method of JTable? The print() method returns a boolean value, not a JFrame, so I'm just not sure how to implement what you're saying.
Thanks

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"

When I click Buy Book this appears our book appears to have default text that has not been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue? will the text I have sellected still be ok or will the book have missing text help Pleas?

I just spent 3 days creating a book [32 pages], with photos and text but when I click Buy Book In iPhoto this appears>
Our book appears to have default text that has not been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue?
My question is will the text I have sellected to use still be ok, am I safe to continue and buy or will the book have missing text ?
The book is for special birtday in 2 weeks time Please Help.G
<Email Edited by Host>

Yes, you're safe to continue. That means that there are text boxes that you did not put any text into and they contain the holding text which will not be printed. That text is shown in a light grayt and is in Latin. Normally you can just put a space in the text box to replace the holding text so as not to get that warning message.
Before ordering the book proof the book according to this Apple document: iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture. Check the pdf file for any missing text or photos and any warning indicators in the text boxes indicating that some of the text has exceeded the space allotted in the text box.
Keep the pdf file to compare with the printed copy when you reciive it.

Photoshop CS2 Printer button missing in Print Setup Dialog - Win7 64bit

Hi,
I installed my Photoshop CS2 package onto my Win 7 64 Bit machine (RC). Everything seems to be perfect....except when I go to print, and setup the printer...the button to do so is missing. It's not there at all. I verified it's existence on my XP machine (actually dual booting).
Print with Preview => Page Setup => Where's the printer button?
Any ideas on how I can fix this?
I have CS2 running in XP SP3 compatibility mode with Desktop Composition and Visual Themes disabled.
Thanks,
Tony

I know when I installed an older printer on a Vista 64 computer, I had to go and get a 64-bit printer driver from the manufacturer's web site to get a proper print dialog.

Missing 'Application' in print dialog (Opera)

I've installed Opera, but when I go to print, the print dialog does not show 'Opera' in the applications (third) drop down list box.
Any ideas why it would go missing?
THanks

Print dialogs are rather confusing in GNU/Linux just because to some extent everyone does their own thing. There was an initiative to unify this stuff which I think would probably improve things, but I'm not sure what has come of that effort. When I read about it, it seemed they were probably going to take a while to agree on the perfect ui before they actually did much at all. (I am probably being unfair but it did seem an awful lot of preliminary effort was going into the design rather than the implementation.)
If you use a DE (e.g. KDE) you get *some* uniformity in the associated applications. The downside is that if that implementation sucks, it sucks in all associated applications. The upside is that when after several years they actually fix it, the fix benefits them all. But there are still bunches of non-KDE and non-QT apps doing their own thing (e.g. Firefox).
EDIT: And Firefox ignores default CUPS options such as paper size and insists on using letter rather than A4 which drives me nuts.

Print dialog options missing on networked print- advice?

Hi everyone,
I am using a small LAN network of three macs.When I try and print to a printer that is plugged into another mac I am missing options from the OS print dialog that appear when the printer is plugged in directly. The items missing are from the drop down box that defaults to "layout"
missing are:
print settings
expansion
extension collections
paper configuration
roll paper options
or simply have a visual reference
here is a screen grab where the printer is directly plugged in http://tinypic.com/r/p7lud/5
here is a screen grab for an attempt to print to the networked printer
http://tinypic.com/r/fkwu43/5
other mac g5 running 10.4.11. Ethernet network.
Any help greatfully recieved!

hey grant,
thanks for your response. in answer to your question it is the epson r2400. If i plug the printer into my mac i get the full dialog, as I would when i print on the g5 (where it is normally plugged in). This would suggest that there are correct drivers on both macs for printing directly.
On my mac in the print dialog i can select two "different" printers
Epson Stylus Photo R2400
or
Epson Stylus Photo (g5) @ studio g5
(think the last bit (studio g5) is correct am not in front of that mac right now)
The first one only works when the printer is directly plugged in, the second one only when networked, and then doesn't give the full options, as aper the subject line.
cheers

Windows XP - Missing text when printing to Xerox Docucolor

Currently printing Illustrator CS3 from a Windows XP to a CREO driver running a Xerox Ducucolor 240.
Sent a document and discovered some of the text was missing. It was a label set up 2-up on the page and the missing text occurred in the upper label, but was not missing on the lower label.
I went back to see if I had not duplicated all of the label and discovered that the document was complete.
Without changing the document, I sent it again. This time it printed correctly.
What could make the document lose some of the content?

Something likely happened during the transmission of the job to the printer. It could be a fluke but if it happens again, you should check all your connections, condition of your wires and cables, and your power protection.
Could also have been a blip with Illy and/or whatever other apps you had running at the same time; a slight conflict somewhere occurring at the exact wrong nanosecond.
ETA:
In other cases (though not in this one), it could be a font issue. Corrupt font, duplicate font on your system or with the printer. It could also be an issue with the Illy file itself; not exactly a bad idea to copy everything and place it in a new file.

Printer Settings dialog missing when printing to another Mac with Bonjour

I want Photoshop to manage my color settings rather than my Epson 4800 or Epson SPRX 580 printers, so in the print dialog box I select the "Printer Color Management" tab and set color adjustments to the OFF position. This works fine as long as the printer is connected directly to my MacBook or my MacBook Pro. But if I try to send a job on my MacBook Pro via bonjour to either of the printers when it is connected to my MacBook, the print dialog is missing the choices of "Printer Color Management", "Printer Settings", etc.
All that is available are things like "Layout, Cover Page, Scheduler, Summary." The "Printer Settings, Color Management" options only show up on either computer when connected directly to the printer.
Is there a way to get those other choices (Printer Settings, Color Management) when printing over a bonjour network?
I'm on Mac OS 10.5.6 on the MacBook Pro and Mac OS 10.4.10 on the MacBook. I have downloaded all the driver updates from Epson and deleted and added the printers again with the same result.

HP must have release a driver update because we no longer encounter the problem.
