Print Dialog Printer Button part 2

Hey All,
I Posted about this before and never found a fix or workaround. I was hoping since the main dialog seemd to change at 10.1.2 it would be taken care of but it seems no one but our organization sees this as an issue. I guess I'm wondering if we're all just nuts or if there's something blatent we're missing so I'm going to rephrase the question.
Acrobat 10.1.2 on Mac.
The Print Dialog contains a "Printer..." buttton by which we can access settings that are not available on the main Adobe dialog.  These include printer mailboxes (on MFPs), some layout options, etc.  As we often use mailboxes and secure printing, these are features which are vital to us being able to operate effectvely.
If I click the Printer button, a regular Mac OS Print dialog appears, complete with Cancel and Print buttons.  If I click Print on this dialog, it doesn't actually print; I still need to click OK on the main Adobe dialog.  So, it acts more like the main dialog's "sub-dialog" (my term) with additional settings, much like the Advanced button.
However, if I click the Adanced button as stated above, and all the settings look fine, I can click Cancel on that dialog. When I click OK on the main dialog, it takes into account the settings on the Advanced dialog, even though I clicked Cancel.
If I do the exact same thing using the Printer button, I get a differerent result.  Even though the settings appear correct, I need to click Print to "apply" these settings to the current print job. I can then click OK and it prints as expected. However, if I click Printer and the sub-dialog's info all looks correct, I would expect either...
to be able to click Cancel and have those settings still be applied since it is acting as a sub-dialog to the main dialog (like the advanced button)
or
when I do click Print on the sub-dialog, have the main dialog automatically click OK since I'm making it clear I want to print using the settings on the Mac Print Dialog (which Acrobat treats as a subdialog to it's dialog)
with me so far?
OK, this is not just about an extra click.  We have 40 users with this program and getting them all used to a very counter-intuitive way of doing things if difficult. This is causing us time and money (and possible legal/security issues).  If people expect Secure printing to be in effect when the send a job to a shared MFP, and it isn't, this is a huge problem.
Again, are we missing something?
Thanks!
Jeff

Thanks Steve.  Seemed like it worked at first but no go. When I go back into the Print Dialog an hit Printer, the settings ARE there but unless you click Print on that dialog, the adobe dialog ignores them.  In other words, if I hit Printer and get the dialog. The settings (using presets) are saved and visible. But if I hit cancel at the dialog (which most people I know would do if they're not changing anything), it disregards the settings.
Thanks,
Jeff

  • Print Dialog Printer Button

    Hi All,
    There are a number of printer features that we use that are only accessible via the "Printer..." button on the print dialog. This would be fine except it seems to forget what settings were last used between print jobs.  For example, we print to mail boxes on our MFPs.  A user needs to hit print, click Printer..., specify the mailbox settings or choose a Preset, click Print then click OK on the main dialog. When trying to immediately print again using the same settings, all steps must be repeated otherwise the mailbox isn't chosen and all other settings specified on the actual MacOS Printer dialog are lost.
    The same holds true for any settings not available on the main "Adobe" print dialog including duplex, Fiery settings, Fax #s (yes, some of our consultants still use them), etc.
    Simply telling people to be sure to follow all steps every time is not an answer. We have a few dozen users.  There's no way they're all going to remember all the time and it's going to be a huge time and resource ($$/Paper) waster.
    Anyone know a way around this?
    Because of this issue, I see no reason to upgrade at this time.  We're on maintenance which annoys me because I'm paying for nothing at the moment.  But I think it'll be too much of a drag on our productivity to try to roll it out as it is.
    Thanks,
    Jeff

  • Printer Dialog for Canon S9000 Printer

    I dug out my large format Canon S9000 printer and am having trouble color correcting the photographic prints. Part of the trouble seems to be that in OS 10.6 I don't seem to be able to get the printer dialog box from the printer utility. When you go into the printer driver all you get is Canon S9000 in the box and I don't seem to be able to get into change any of the driver settings. Can anyone help? Thanks.

    I did download the latest driver for the S9000 available, although it is updated I believe only through OS X v10.5 and not 10.6.
    The driver update is for 10.6. If you have v10.36.2.0 installed then at least there should be some level of comparison between my setup and yours.
    I talked to Canon support and they told me that Apple writes the printer drivers for the OS systems and not them.
    This is not true. Canon creates the drivers and provides them to Apple so that it they are available via Software Update.
    Since you are using the same driver from Canon, maybe you could answer some of the following questions: What color space do you use for importing your photograph, sRGB, AdobeRGB, ProRGB, etc.? What color space do you use for viewing your photograph? Do use any ICC print profiles to print?
    For the photo that I used to test, it was taken on my Canon EOS7D and imported using Image Capture. The Get Info for the photo shows the colour space as RGB and the colour profile as sRGB IEC61966-2.1.
    For printing I selected the Canon profile to match the Canon Photo Plus Glossy, which is shown as GL3/SG3 in ColorSync. When PS was managing the colour this was selected via the PS print dialog > printer profile. When I selected the printer to manage, I used the Quality & Media tab to select the paper which in turn sets the profile, as seen in the Color Options menu.

  • Pages button  in printer dialog box  is deactivating while taking print ?

    Hello exports,
    while taking print abap reports (developed using smartforms) pages buttoon (from- to) in printer dialog box
    is by default is deactivating .How to activate this button ? who will do this one (Abaper or basis guy).
    pls help me in this.

    Hi,
    So, as you see a field "from ... to ...", I think you are talking about the "background print parameters" dialog (this is not the smart forms print dialog, which contains field "page selection").
    I don't understand. "Pages from ... to ..." is always displayed, and the user can enter them manually. Do you want to enter pages programmatically?
    What is your code or the steps to display this dialog? Is it fully standard or do you use GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS programmatically?

  • PDF button not enabled in Print dialog box

    When I am in any application that allows printing and I select File > Print, the Print dialog box opens, but I can't select the PDF button (or the Preview button for that matter). I can see the buttons, but they are not selectable.
    I have a $HOME/Library/PDF Services folder set up properly.
    How can I enable the PDF button for printing?
    (And for the quinella, the Preview button in the same dialog box.)

    I am sorry my post got corrupted as these new Discussions format modifications can muck up when using the ~ (tilde) symbol. !!!!!
    What I wanted you to do was go to the Home folder, then Library, then Preferences and locate two files,
    com.apple.print.custompresets.plist
    com.apple.Preview.plist
    and delete those two files in particular, not your document that you are trying to preview. My mistake for omitting this information.
    So please try this suggestion.
    regards roam

  • Printing Orientation Setting from Properties... Button on Print Dialog

    I am trying to add printing to a graphics application I have developed, and have noticed that if I use the standard code to open the Print dialog:
        PrinterJob printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
        printJob.setPrintable(new PagePrinter(0));
        if (printJob.printDialog()) {
            try {
                printJob.print();
            } catch (Exception ex) {
                ex.printStackTrace();
        }the Print dialog appears, and if I click the "Properties..." button for the selected printer (I am testing with an HP 1210), the printer-specific properties dialog allows me to select portrait or landscape orientation, but if I change this setting, click OK, then click Print in the Print Dialog, the change to the orientation setting seems to be ignored,. For example, if Ithe default orientation is Portrait, but I use this setting to change the orientation to Landscape, the PageFormat information passed to my Printable still is based on Portrait orientation.
    The fact that this setting appears to be ignored would be very confusing to a user of my program. Is there a solution to this problem?
    I have the same problem if I use the Book class, in that I have to indicate the page format I want to use for each page when I call "append" on my Book instance, and when the Print dialog is subsequently opened, if I click "Properties..." and change the orientation, this change is ignored.
    It there any recommended way to handle this?

    I have the same problem too. Anyone got a solution?

  • 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.

  • Click button on print dialog

    I am using PDFCreator to print an htm file to a PDF
    Unfortunately the print dialog always appears (according to PFCreator forum it is due to the browser)
    Someone suggested emulating a keyboard hit on the print dialog window to get rid of it automatically.
    Can anyone help me to find the Print Dialog window and then automatically press the Print button?
    Thanks

  • How to print specific pages of a pdf from a vb 2013 program using a print dialog

    Hi.  I am using the acrobat sdk to display pdfs from within a vb 2013 program, because the pdfs are large and we have developed indexes on certain columns.  The indexes are stored in SQL tables.  My program has a search window which allows the user to search for a value and displays all the pages on which this value appears in the indexed column in a listbox.  By double-clicking on the desired value in the listbox, the user can go to the selected page and column.  However, the user also needs to be able to highlight one or more of the pages in the listbox and print these pages.  I could do this silently using AcroExchAVDoc.PrintPages, but the user also needs to have a print dialog displayed in order to possibly select a watermark to be printed on the pages.  I also need to default the orientation of the pages depending on the document.
    I have reviewed the sdk documentation and also searched in Google and on this site but have not found a way to do this.  Does anyone have a suggestion?  Thanks for any help you can provide.
    Mary

    Hi.
    I did try using the printParams feature and it worked, but since I need to be able to print sets of non-consecutive pages,  I end up having to bring up the print dialogue multiple times and have the user set watermarks each time. 
    I decided to just create a new pdf in a temp directory containing the selected pages and open this document in a new window.  This works well and allows them to use the print button on the window to print, bringing up the print dialogue just once.  However, since I need to open the document in a way that shows the print button, I am using OpenInWindowEx, with AV_DOC_VIEW, and the option PDUseBookmarks or PDUseThumbs, rather than PDUseNone.  This displays a toolbar which also includes icons for creating a new pdf, deleting pages, etc.  I do not really want to include these icons on the toolbar.  Is there a way to remove unwanted icons from the toolbar, or make them invisible?
    Hope this makes sense.  Thanks for your help.

  • 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 can i get rid of the print dialog box when using api to print an html file

    i am using the systemshell.vi provided by labview the VI is working fine but it will open a dialog box for printer selection and properties. i would like to hide that dialog box and have it print to the default printer with the default properties

    ShellExec is part of lvwutil and merely calls a function in Shell32.dll. There is nothing about the function call that controls the display of the printer dialog. I think that what shell32.dll does when it prints (just like right clicking on the file) is print the file according to what is defined about that file type in Windows Folder Options. On my Win2K system, the print application is defined as "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\msohtmed.exe" /p %1. If I remove the /p, then Word starts up and in order to print, I get a printer dialog when choosing Print from the File menu. So it seems like the printer dialog is entirely dependant on the application that does the printing. I get no dialog when I use the VI to print a .txt file. I
    nstead of using shell32, you might want to try some ActiveX method or property of an application like Internet Explorer that can open and print an html file.

  • I can not print only a selected part of a page

    I have reset the print.print_printer and still can't print only the selected part of a page. I highlight what I want to print and use control P to get to the printer setup. Then I click the selection button and then OK. The preview screen shows what would print but the page has blank space above what was selected. This has only started to happen since the upgrade to FF 11.0. I have tried the same operation using IE and it works fine. please, is there a fix for this??
