Print dialog window does not go away
Hi,
This is an issue I've experienced many times. When I try to print a web page from Safari, the print dialog opens, I select the printer and/or orientation, then I click on the "OK" button. But, the window does not respond, Safari seems to be working (it does not appear as 'not responding' in the 'force quit' dialog and the menus are selectable. But the window does not go away, nothing is sent to the printer, and Safari does not respond to certain operations such as moving to another tab, go back, or change the url, so basically I am stuck, no printing, and end up closing safari to open it again.
Hello mario:
Is this an intermittent problem, or does it happen all the time? I would, at a minimum, run repair disk from your software install DVD and also run permission repair from your HD.
I would also trash the Safari preference file (com.apple.safari.plist) and restart.
Of course, the problem could lie in the connectivity with your printer, but that is another issue.

When save as pdf, the dialog windows does not open. What is wrong?
Working in illustrator, when saving time choose save as and click pdf, what is expect is, "the dialog box that enable me to choose the quailty in pdf" but it (the dialog box) does not appeared today. It still works yesterday. What went wrong? Please help.
Your Mail is not gone. The problem you are having following the upgrade to Leopard (10.5.6) from Tiger, is probably what has been covered by the support document at the link below:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2537
If you also find any files named to include MessageSorting (which would mean you once have upgraded from a version of OSX earlier than 10.4), remove those, also, but never restore those.
To find the correct location for the Mail folder, open a Finder window, click on the icon of a house in the Sidebar (this is known often as "Home"), click on Library in that Home user directory, and then to open the Mail folder found there.

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. -
Wizard in a dialog window does not show errormessages from the database
I have a main window and some wizards defined with JHeadstart. The wizards are started as dialogs to get them in a separate windows from the main window. This gives me a cancel and a save button for the dialog in addition to the ones for the wizard.
I have managed to take away the cancel and save button from the dialog using custom .vm files. The problem is that then pressing the FINISH button for the wizard it closes the dialog window without showing errormessages from the database (ie constraint messages) and these only appear in the log. If I use the save button from the dialog it gives the errormessages, but does not exit the dialog even if there are no errormessages.
Is this a bug or is there another way I should have done this ?
The code for starting the wizard.
<af:commandLink id="StartVeiRegMerknad"
text="#{nls['TABLE_TITLE_VEIREGMERKNAD']}"
action="dialog:StartVeiRegMerknad"
useWindow="true" partialSubmit="true"
launchListener="#{DialogLaunchHandler.handleDialogLaunch}"
windowWidth="600" windowHeight="600"
returnListener="#{backing_show.backFromPopup}"
immediate="true">
<f:actionListener type="oracle.jheadstart.controller.jsf.listener.DoRollbackActionListener"/>
<f:actionListener type="oracle.jheadstart.controller.jsf.listener.ResetBreadcrumbStackActionListener"/>
<af:resetActionListener/>
</af:commandLink>Your finish button should call a custom managed bean method that executes the commit, checks whether there are errors, and only close the dialog of there are no errors.
To close the dialog in code, you can use this:
AdfFacesContext adf = AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
adf.returnFromDialog(null, null);
which is similar to using the <af:returnActionListener/> that you probably now used but should be removed from your finish button.

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. -
When printing Firefox does not open the Print Dialog window
When printing at our office we often need to print to multiple printers and not just the default printer. When printing in Firefox, however, the print automatically gets sent to the default printer and I do not get a print dialog window. I have reset Firefox's printer options, changed the prefs.js file, and launched Firefox from safe mode to check if an add-on is affecting printing - all to no avail. When I print from Chrome, or (shudder) Internet Explorer I get a dialog box giving me printer options. Your help and responses will be appreciated.
There is a hidden preference to bypass the dialog, but it definitely is not set by default. To check for that:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''print.''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) If you discover a preference named '''print.always_print_silent''' there's your trouble.
Next question would be, where did it come from?! Some possibilities:
(A) A user.js file that overrides prefs.js at startup. See: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
(B) A lock file in the program folder. See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences -
Save As dialog box does not gain focus (bring to foreground) with Windows 7?
Hello,
I've got several users with Microsoft Windows 7 (64bit) and Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard (OEM) with the same problem. When you go to Print to your PDF Printer, the Save As... dialog box does not come to the foreground and gain focus. Most often it just sits in the taskbar blinking to get their attention.
However the users get frustrated and often don't realize the Save As box popped up at all. They did not have this problem with Windows XP.
I actually can replicate the problem on my own PC.
Any workarounds for this behaviour?
Thanks,
-TimThis appears to be a Windows 7 focus issue.
You can back up your registry and try the fix below, it worked for me.
Fix number 1
1. Open Start >> Run and type “regedit” (without quotes)
2. Navigate to the following path:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
3. Right Click on the empty space and create a new DWORD value, or modify the existing value named ‘ForegroundLockTimeout’, set or modify the value to 0. (this value will cause the application to take the focus instantly.)
4. That’s it Done, exit registry and restart windows for changes to come into effect. -

Photoshop window does not display unless connected to external monitor
I use a MBP connected it to an Apple Cinema Display used as an external monitor (not a dual display) when in my studio.
When I use Adobe Photoshop CS 5 without the monitor the image window does not display on the MBP. If I plug the external monitor in, the window is displayed correctly on the MBP. Photoshop is opening and "displaying" the image window offscreen. Nothing gets it back onscreen, except plugging in the external monitor.
I often use Photoshop away from my studio so this is a big problem. PShop is essentially unusable unless connected to an external monitor.
Is this a known issue?
Any workarounds?
Any ideas?
There is a previous discussion on this topic from January 2012, but it remains open and unanswered. Hoping there are some new ideas. Thanks for the help.The MacOS still thinks the second display is available and valid -- so Photoshop puts the documents on the last used display and the OS doesn't give any errors.
Once the OS notices the change in display configuration, Photoshop should go back to the main display and force images and dialogs back to the main display.
Applications rely on the OS for the display configuration, and sometimes the OS gets confused or holds onto outdated configurations a bit too long... -
Cannot send email. When I click Write the window does not open properly. Does not have the "send, spelling, attach, security, save line there. Then when I click File, then Send now it will not send. A message comes up saying my SMTP server failed. Have check and everything appears to be o.k.
Hi Stephen,
What version of MS Office are you using?
Are you facing the issue similar to that mentioned here: Acrobat/Reader: Attach to Email button not working for PDFs referenced from long URLs
Open Acrobat. Use the click-path Edit - Preferences - select the Category "Email Accounts". In the dialog there is the "Add Account" drop-down. Select "Add Other". The "Add Webmail Account" dialog presents. You'll fill out the dialog's fields with Outlook.com settings. (don't forget the "Advance Settings" button)
From a look-see on the web it appears that the following are the needed settings. BUT, you'll be wanting to validate.
The Outlook.com SMTP server settings for sending outgoing messages from an email program on desktop, cell phone or mobile device are:
• Outlook.com SMTP server address: smtp.live.com
• Outlook.com SMTP user name: Your full Outlook.com email address (not an alias)
• Outlook.com SMTP password': Your Outlook.com password
• Outlook.com SMTP port: 587
• Outlook.com SMTP TLS/SSL encryption required: yes
For incoming messages from an Outlook.com account to an email program using POP, use the Windows Live Hotmail POP3 server settings.
The Outlook.com POP server settings for downloading new incoming messages to email program, cell phone or mobile device are:
• Outlook.com POP server address: pop3.live.com
• Outlook.com POP user name: Your full Outlook.com email address (not an alias)
• Outlook.com POP password: Your Outlook.com password
• Outlook.com POP port: 995
• Outlook.com POP TLS/SSL encryption required: yes

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10. It came installed on my HP Desktop. I am can not get the warp text tool to work. It has worked in the past. Once I click warp text, the little window does not pop up, and if I try to do anything else after I click warp text, it wont let me. Just sounds the ding, alert, can still slightly navigate the program but can not use any other tools after clicking warp text. I just have to open task manager and close the program. not sure if I'm doing something wrong or maybe I just need to uninstall and re install. Having trouble finding out how to uninstall and reinstall because the program came pre installed on my desktop.
It actually sounds like the warp text window is opening off screen.
Resetting the photoshop elements 10 preferences should fix it.
*Press and hold the Shift+Ctrl+Alt keys just after you start the launch of the photoshop elements 10 editor
*Keep holding the keys down until you get a dialog asking if you want to delete the adobe photoshop elements setting file
*Press Yes -
Officejet 4622, new printer today. black does not seem to work at all but all the colors do.
I print a test page through diagnostic tool and black square is blank. I cannot tell if the alignment prints properly as I have no example of what it should look like to ensure it is correct since the alignment fails to detect the alignment page. Scans work fine. I tried cleaning the print heads and still don't seem to get black to work correctly. This is a new printer purchased today 9.30.2012.
just in case anyone else encounters this problem, heres whats really going on and heres how to fix this annoying issue. its relatively easy to do and more efficient than wasting money on a new printer or having it repaired like most people end up doing.
whats going on? the ink has clogged the printing heads and has solidified shut. the "clean print heads" feature the printer came with does not have the ability to fix this. that feature is to clean up dirty heads, not clogged heads. why hp decided to make this model without a simple to remove cradle is beyond me, but fortunately the cradle DOES come out and can be cleaned with hot water.
theres a few items you will need to make this happen the easy way or you could just break out the tree limb loppers, like i did, and vent your frustrations.
what you will need: a pair of needle nosed pliers, a T9 torx screwdriver head ( auto parts stores sell them for a couple bucks), some paper towels and an area to work (its easiest to do this in a corner of a room, on a small table or the floor). keep in mind you are dealing with ink, so change out of your good clothes just in case and also grab a paper plate or a few sheets of printing paper to set the ink cartridges on as you work.
1) ok. lets get started. !!!FIRST UNPLUG THE PRINTER RIGHT NOW, SO YOU DONT ACCIDENTALLY DIE BY ELECTROCUTION!!! i forgot and when i began unscrewing the first 6 screws, the chime kept going off and im like **bleep**? i was impressed by the safety measures hp took while engineering this model.
2) the printer is now unplugged and then go to your corner work area and place the printer so there is a wall or barrier on its left and also a wall or barrier behind it. do this while facing it as if you were about to use it.
3) now, what you have to do is open the printer like you are going to change the ink and on the right side there is a plastic guide that prevents the top from opening all the way. look on the side and you will notice it could pop off with your fingers. pop it off and open it all the way open so you could get at the screws the lid would have prevented you from accessing.
4) lean the scanner portion and top portion against the back wall.
5) all screws you will be removing are size T9H torx screws. there are ten total. there are 2 black screws in the front top and then 4 black screws in the back top. remove them and put them on your paper plate.
6) next is 1 short silver colored screw located under the control panel, use your finger and feel around beneath the * button. unscrew it, put it on the paper plate.
7) next you are going to remove the face/control panel to get at the last 3 screws so locate the little illustrations on the top of the printer, there are 2 on the bottom left and 5 on the bottom right (1 and 2 on the left explain paper jam removals and then 1-5 on the right explain changing ink cartridges). then about half an inch south of the number 5 illustration, on the lip, is a plastic bracket. six inches to the left is another one then 6 more inches to the left, under the illustration number 2 (paper jam removal) is a third bracket. undo them using your fingernails. and just flip it up like car hood and then lay it down on the main top portion of the printer, minding the flat wire which is connected into the circuit board of the control panel (if the flat wire popped out because you got too rowdy on it, then simply insert it back in when you reassemble).
8) next, unscrew the 3 longer silver screws which are located under the panel you just popped off. there is 1 on the left and 2 on the rightish side. toss em on the paper plate.
9) now that all the screws are removed, take the face panel and partially pop it back together.
10) then take the whole top ( the part with the little illustrations and lift it like a car hood, ONLY THIS TIME OPEN IT TO THE LEFT and balance it on the edge of the printer, leaning it towards the wall or barrier on your left. BE CAREFUL NOT TO YANK ON THE FRUIT STRIPE COLORED WIRES ON THE LEFT AND ALSO THE BLACK FLAT WIRE THAT CONNECTS THE SCANNING PORTION TO THE MAIN PORTION OF THE PRINTER.
11) next grab the needle nose pliers and remove the 2 silver colored tension springs located behind the printer cartridges. pay attention where they were attached so you remember where they go during assembly. take a pic with your phone if you have to or simply re-figure it out like i did. toss em on the paper plate.
12) then disconnect the 2 large flat wires and 1 small flatwire attached to the back of the ink carriage. take a picture or remember like i did. i imagine bad things may occur if you reverse them on re-assembly. grab the phone and take a quik pic to be sure.
13) now remove the ink carriage, cartridges and all, by lifting the front first. be careful of the little transparent ribbon in there that moves the carriage left to right and vice versa. you dont want to damage that little guy. now take the carriage to your paper plate. dont drip any ink or accidentally get it on your fingers without knowing or you will make a mess.
14) remove the ink cartridges and set them on the paper plate, ink side up to avoid a mess, these things sometimes drip. set the plate off to the side. its time to clean the print heads.
15) then go to the sink, with the empty ink carriage and turn the water on hot and then just let the empty ink carriage sit there with the water mainly going through the screen of the clogged color (inspect and make sure there isnt a little rubber gasket surrounding the little screen if there is dont lose it. i didnt look too closely and i dont think hp has them but i know some other printers do). it wont stain the sink but wash down any ink as it comes out to be sure. also notice there is a small circuit board attached to it. dont bang it up but getting it wet doesnt matter.
16) keep doing this until the water runs clear.
17) then use your finger and rub the screen gently with your finger and then rinse it, washing away the ink until the water runs clear. continue this until there is no more ink and the screens are clean. do it to all the colors just for good measures. the problem color that wouldnt print, you will notice takes longer to clean than the other colors.
18) now look on the bottom side of the carriage. those wierd looking things are the heads. rinse them with hot water and wipe them with paper towels. then flip it over and blast the screen side again. also in between the screenside and the heads (on the side of the carriage) is an opening that is also probably gunked up. blast it with water too. then flip it over and wipe the heads again. repeat this step until nothing wipes away or until you are sick and tired.
19) shake off then use paper towels to dry the entire unit. make sure the unit is dry. especially inside the female plugs. blow in it or break out the hair dryer and gently dry it. dont sit there and melt it though with the blow dryer. but the sooner it dries the less likely your ink cartridges sitting on the paper plate will dry out. the ink wont dry out fast just dont take a nap or go out on a date until you are reassembled with the ink portion.
20) now you have completed the cleaning of the heads and probably wont need to do this again for the length of time it was since you bought the printer. and just like a roadtrip you used a map to navigate, you will use these instructions in reverse for re-assembly. but keep in mind when re-inserting the 3 flatwires you disconnected from the back of the ink carriage, make sure you have the little metal contact points on the flatwires (male side) inserted so they touch the little metal contact points on the carriage plugs (female side). ALSO BE EXTRA CAREFUL NOT TO DAMAGE THE BLACK FLATWIRE CONNECTING THE SCANNER PORTION TO THE MAIN PRINTER PORTION. THERE IS A LITTLE GROOVE IN THE PLASTIC WHERE IT CAN BE SEATED TO GUARANTEE NO CRIMPAGE. USE IT. also make sure the 2 hinges of the scanner portion/lid are seated properly before fastening the the top with the 6 black screws.
now re-assemble the printer and reinstall the ink cartridges. and then plug in the unit, and turn it on. if you get any notifications on the control panel saying the carriage wont move, then open the hood and take out the ink cartridges, push around and make sure the carriage is seated properly and that the tensioner springs are in place properly. repeat if neccesary until notifications go away or just do a test print and disregard the notification if you messed with it already a few times. thats what happened to me and the notification went away on its own. once its online, open the hp utilities and press the "clean the heads" button. do it 2x in a row and you will be back in style, with extremely rich and bold colors and yes, raven black print.
p.s.
you can always take your aggressions out with the tree limb loppers or the tin snips like i did and snip out the center plastic that prevents you from taking the carriage directly out. this eliminates disassembly and re-assembly entirely. just make sure you DO NOT CUT THE TRANSPARENT RIBBON THAT MOVES THE CARRIAGE BACK AND FORTH. this way the next time it happens it only takes you 10 minutes before you are up and printing.
enjoy! - Porf
