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

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?

  • 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.

  • "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!

  • 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"

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • PUT BACK THE MISSING THE SCREEN FUNCTION IN THE PRINT DIALOG BOX!!!!

    Hello all...
    I am a creative director in the screen print (garment industry) for over 20 years.  We have always used PS to directly print and control our halftone screens and angles through the screen function in the print dialog box.  Now it has miraculously disappeared after so many versions previous.
    I emplore Adobe and their team to please update this function back into CS5.
    Although it is a function many might not even understand how to use, it is IMPERATIVE to the screen printer/artist in this industry.
    There are workarounds, of course, but they are much more tedious and time consuming.
    I truly cannot convince enough that we folks in this industry want this function back!!!!!

  • Missing "Print Settings" in Canon printer dialog

    Hi,
    I've Googled all over for this, but I haven't found an answer to this particular question. Maybe someone in here would know?
    I want to print a photo from Lightroom 3 on a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. I have a Canon MP800R printer. I want Lightroom to manage the color, and I'm able to choose the glossy paper profile I want in the Print Job pane in Lightroom. However, when I click Print and get to the part where I should turn off color management in the printer dialog I'm not able to do so. There is no Print Settings section in the dialog box. As far as I understand, all the important stuff goes on in this Printer Settings section, see http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_print/lr2-print.htm. Why don't I see Print Settings?
    I should add that if I go ahead anyway with Lightroom managed printing the colors are off, but if I use Managed by Printer the colors look decent.
    Jan

    OK  and to be sure: Do you have Color Management by Printer set to OFF ?
    It's under  -I have a Canon Pixma 5000- Color Intensity-
    then:
    That works fine here.
    (btw  A Canon photoprinter like the Pixma 4820 is very good and cheap.)

  • Custom paper size button missing on print dialog box

    I installed the print driver for our new Z5200ps printer on four machines--all with no issues. I installed it on the fifth PC, and when the user tried to print from Illustrator and Photoshop, neither print dialog box had the custom paper button as all the other machines do. I deleted the printer and reinstalled--still no luck. Am using the latest driver. We're all running Windows 7, 64 bit. Thanks for any help!

    On december 28, 2008 I uninstalled Adobe Reader 8 and subsequently
    installed Adobe Reader 9...assuming it to be an upgrade. The print
    format box is completely worthless in content, and above all, it
    does offer a "print" option. You are totally unable to print zny-
    thing. Why is the print option (command) not included. Is this an
    overlooked error.
    Whar process do I use to reinstall Adobe Reader 8 and uninstall
    Adobe Reader 9. I am using Windows Vista Home Basic and have never
    had a problem using Adobe Reader 8.
    I would appreciete whatever help anyone can offer.

  • "Bonjour Printers" missing from  "Printer:" pull-down in Print dialog box

    One of our users has recently lost the ability to add Bonjour printers. For example, if he presses Command-p to open the Print dialog box, then clicks on the arrows icon to produce the list of available printers, the "Bonjour Printers" option does not appear in the list. None of the others in our small group (six of us, all with identical 1.67Ghz G4 Powerbooks running identical OSX versions - 10.4.3 with all updates applied) have experienced this problem. The user in question reports seeing the expected Bonjour option in the recent past and claims to have installed noting more than the recommended OSX updates in the mean time.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Chance

    Thanks for the reply.
    Our user's problem was "fixed" when he arrived at work a day later and happened to look in the pirnter menu only to discover that the "Bonjour Printers" option had reappeared. He had made no configuration changes in the mean time.
    I can confirm that he wasn't imagining things in either instance. In fact, we used Bonjour Browser when things were broken and again after they were "fixed". In the former case, only two or three Bonjour items were listed, while in the latter there were 13 local services, including the Print Spooler.
    All our Macs get their IP configuration via DHCP, so it is possible that various network configuration changes were made without our intervention. Nonetheless, this is very odd behavior.

  • "Quality and Media" not displaying in Print dialog.

    I am using Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard on a Macbook Pro with a Canon MB5220 Multifunction printer over WiFi. I have installed the Canon Drivers and can print to the printer but the "Quality and Media" menu choice does not display in the print dialog so I can't set any of the quality settings or the color settings for the printer.
    I installed and re-installed the drivers. Tried with several applications such as TextEdit and preview. Only menu choices are Layout, Color Matching, Paper Handling, Cover Page, Scheduler.
    Is there anything that would keep Quality and Media from dispaying?

    It's not just the Quality & Media menu that appears to be missing. There are three other Canon menus you should see like below;
    These menu items are supported by the plugins bundle installed in /Library/Printers/Canon/BJPrinter/PDEs, which supports a number of Canon inkjet printers. Since reinstalling the driver for the MG5220 has not helped then I would try a reset of the printing system and then adding the printer again. To reset the printing system, open Print & Fax, move the mouse over the Printers list and Control-click. The reset popup will appear. Select it and authenticate if prompted and then restart the Mac. Please note that this action will remove all printer and scanner queues from Print & Fax, but not the associated drivers so just the queues will need to be added again.
    If this action does not resolve the problem then try running the Canon Driver Update v2.6.
