Print Dialogue Box options seem to have disappeared

I am using CS4 on an older PowerMac and print to an Epson R2400. I am having a printing problem. After making the proper page setup selections, I select the profile I want to use and hit the print button which brings up the print dialogue menu. For some reason, there are no options to manage the photo process -- type of paper, best photo or photo etc and no option to choose color management or turn it off, which is what I need to do. I looked to see if I inadvertently turned those options off, but can't see that I did. Can anyone help me get these things back in the dialogue box? I can't successfully print any images now -- frustrating!
Thanks for any help that comes my way -- it is greatly appreciated!

Robert,
Some information, please, about your system. Which older PowerMac? Which OS? New occurrence? What was changed on your system, and when? Etc....
Thanks.

  • Can't rate photos in Bridge - options seem to have disappeared and Bridge is not responsive?

    When I'm going through my photos to begin culling, I can't seem to rate any of my pictures.. I don't know how or why this has happened because I could do this a few days ago. When I use the hotkeys to rate photos now nothing happens, and even the Ratings filter option seems to have disappeared. I've purged the cache from the folders and nothing seems to help. I'm using OS X Mavericks and the latest update on Bridge.

    I'm in the same boat. I used the same computer to rate some of the photos and after a repair and complete re-install I can't rate anything anymore.

  • How do I forward calls from my iPhone4?  The option seems to have disappeared from the settings - phone prompt

    The option seems to have disappeared from the settings - phone options

    With the settings changed on the iPhone4, why the iPad Air? I downloaded the apps to it. Then chose to delete them, which works. I just have to remember to delete them from iTunes12 eventually.

  • When quitting safari I used to get a dialogue box with checkboxes, useful if I accidentally pressed command q, but now option seems to have disappeared. Any ideas why or how to retrieve it please?

    I used to get a dialogue box when quitting safari, which was useful if accidentally hitting 'command q', but has now disappeared leading to lost work etc.
    Any idea why, or how I can get this useful option back please?

    Now resolved, after chatting to Apple online support, who said they'd not heard of this happening - solved it quickly enough though.
    Anyone interested or suffering similar I was told to remove website data from privacy tab in Safari preferences. And yes, I'd love to know how it worked too.....
    Great thanks to Apple.

  • I cannot and never have been, able to open a file that has been previously saved to hard disk by choosing the print to file option in the print dialogue box

    '''I cannot and never have been, able to open a file that has been previously saved to hard disk by choosing the print to file option in the print dialogue box. Firefox displays gooblygook even though the file name is an html, Windows Notepad crashes, MS Excel does not recognise the file type. MS Word displays goobblys also when the file has no filename extension.'''

    If you use print to file then you get a file that is meant to be send to a printer and that file has all kind of formatting code for that specific printer.
    Opening such a file in Firefox or a text editor can only work if you use a text only printer to print the file to, so make sure that such a printer is installed and selected.

  • Quality and Media options don't appear in Print Dialogue Box

    I recently upgraded my OS and now when I try to print on either my Lexmark Z65 or my Epson R300 (both USB connections), I don't see the "Quality & Media" option in the print dialogue box.
    I need these settings to appear so I can choose Glossy Photo Paper. This is the only setting that will give me the saturated prints that I need for my projects.
    I have tried:
    - reinstalling the latest drivers for each printer
    - deleting and then re-adding the Printers
    - restarting
    I've been reading that others are having similar problems when they upgraded to Tiger, but none of the posted solutions seem to work for me. Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Jen

    Options such as Quality & Media are known as PDEs (Print Dialog Extensions) and they are added to the standard print dialog by the driver installer. For the new Intel Mac's, to get these extensions to appear (or appear without a line through them) you need to have a driver that is written in Universal Binary.
    You mentioned that you have the latest drivers. Check back to the web site to see if they mention them being Universal Binary versions. If they are Universal, then the previous drivers that were PPC may be interferring with the UB version. Try opening the Printer Setup Utility, click on the title menu and select Reset Printing System. Then close the Printer Setup Utility and open Finder. Navigate to /Library/Printers/ and delete the contents of the Epson and Lexmark folders. Empty the Trash, restart the Mac and try adding the new drivers again.
    If there aren't any Universal Binary versions available, then you can set most applications you are printing from to open using Rosetta. Before opening the application, find its location in the Finder view and go a Get Info on the icon. In the Info window, if there is a setting 'Open using Rosetta', then enable it and open the application. Now you should have the option.

  • "Color Matching" option in print dialogue box...

    Hello,
    I've upgraded to 10.5 (printing from latest Adobe CS3 Photoshop and InDesign) to an Epson R2400 (with the latest 10.5 drivers from Epson). I let Photoshop/InDesign handle color management (rather than the printer).
    Once I hit "print" from the application I'm sent to the OS X print dialogue box. From here I select my Epson settings as I always have (including turning off Epson Color Management) but now, within 10.5, there's a new OS X specific printing option listed as "Color Matching". When I select this I'm giving the options for "ColorSync" (from which I can then choose "automatic" or choose a specific printing profile — though, when I try to select one, I always get a warning saying I'll get undesirable results, and it only goes away when I select "automatic") or "Epson Color Management" (or something like that).
    I do not have an option to turn these "off", I have to select one or the other.
    Now, what exactly is going on here?
    Which do I want to select?
    I assume I would leave it to "ColorSync" since I know I don't want the printer to manage the color, but I'm just confused as to what these settings do since I'm supposed to be managing the color via Photoshop.
    Can anyone shed some light onto this new option under 10.5?
    Thanks!
    Kristin.

    Yes, very strange. If you see a few posts up I actually did get it to work the way I need it to. I called Epson and they had ne reset the printer settings through the system preferences. On my first try this did NOT work, however everything worked as it should in Preview (another image program) and since it did work there the Epson tech basically siad then it's not their problem - most likely adobe.
    However just for the hell of it after I hung up, I tried resetting the printer settings again and sure enough it worked. I was able to change the color settings while using Photoshop to manage colors - namely I needed to print a B&W through the Advanced B&W setting. When they are grayed out I can't do this. But even while doing color I don't like that it's grayed out. I've been printing both color and B&W for the last 5-7 years with photosjop manageing colors. I know about double profiling and how to avoid it.
    If this was by design from adobe, it deosn't make sense that I was able to access it a few weeks ago after resetting the printer settings. And if this was the case when did Adobe supposedly make the change?
    I don't know what's different now, the only thing I can figure is that I had this issue sometime after I installed the lastest Epson print driver - hence the call to Epson... Maybe it's snow leopard weirdness, but I had snow leopard on my laptop and was always able to print sucessfully, but have not tried it since I got the new Mac Pro.
    And the strange thing it works fine on other programs. I can have photoshop manage colors and they are not grayed out. Strange and frustrating. Time to set up the DR.
    I guess I shoud uninstall PS and then try re-installing it.
    thanks...

  • I previously used Indesign CS4. I now have recently purchased Indesign CC. I have a Mac Yosemite 10.10.3. When I print, I cannot select my paper stock, other than what is in the print dialogue box, i.e. art paper. In Indesign CS4, I could choose fine art

    previously used Indesign CS4. I now have recently purchased Indesign CC. I have a Mac Yosemite 10.10.3. When I print, I cannot select my paper stock, other than what is in the print dialogue box, i.e. art paper. In Indesign CS4, I could choose fine art paper etc. Where can I find this option in this new version?

    With Snow Leopard, the Printing of PDFs has changed. Try using the highlighted option

  • Output Option menu is missing from the print dialogue box

    I have just upgraded to the latest G5 PPC and installed OS 10.4.6 and in all applications in the Print dialogue box I cannot find the Output Options menu so I can output a postscript file, is there another patch that can be installed to add this option back into the printer settings. I didn't have this issue with 10.3.9 only in 10.4.X
    G5   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    I have looked the PDF menu but I am not happy that it states "Save PDF as Postscript", this option was available before and we had issues with some of the files it created. I cannot guarantee that it is using my postscript printer descrition which I need as we need full High Res files with NO downsampling at any stage and I'm not confident this is the solution, there has the be a better way to create a postscript file.

  • I want to block all cookies and this option does not appear under the 'options' and 'security' tabs. It seems to have disappeared. What can I do?

  • Xerox 8560N (2.0.13): Print Dialogue Box: Slow/Sticking

    Is anyone having any issues with the print dialogue box when printing to a Xerox 8560 since updated to the Xerox printer driver, 2.0.13?
    Specifically: In any application, I open the print dialogue box and if I attempt to select any pull down option it hangs for about a minute or so and then lets me make the choice(s). If I simply open the print box and attempt to press "print" I get the same problem. The machine itself is printing fine.
    Have attempted many of the usual fixes like re-downloaded the driver from Xerox, resetting printers, adding/removing printer (re-setting it up), permissions repair, &c.
    It's not the end of the world, but it is annoying.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Problem with inconsistent print dialogue box/Aperture and Elements?

    I just purchased an Epson r1900. In Aperture everything is great! I can pull up icc profiles and the new print dialogue box features all the epson papers (glossy, Matte, Art, CD) in menus with submenus. But in Photoshop Elements 6, I get an old dialogue box which only shows the old Epson papers-Photo. Photo glossy, matte. There is no way, for instance, to choose Velvet art-and that is what I am using. It is driving me nuts. I have thrown out preferences, updated drivers, updated applications, fixed permissions...you name it. same thing in Apple Pages. Why am I not seeing the same dialogue box? Is this not OS controlled? The R1900 is always chosen. ( I do have an older printer as well, but definitely not selected.
    any guidance appreciated!
    thanks
    Nancie

    I have the same problem since I installed Snow Leopard. I have upgraded to the newest canon driver for my Canon Pixma IP5200 printer. Calibrating seems to no longer have a reliable impact on my prints. Also Aperture under SL will not save my preset information for media type, paper source or print quality in the print settings.
    I am assuming this is a bug related to SL and hopefully will be addressed soon... It is very frustrating as I have waisted a lot of time ink and photo paper in the days since I have moved up to SL
    When will we see a fix?

  • No OS dialogue box option when I save

    Hello,
    I have been using CS4 for a few months now and I like except I can't figure out how to get the OS dialogue box option when I go to save (do a lot of image replacing and it is a pain with being able to view and navigate throuhout my machine). I have checked both my system preferences and the Photoshop preferences and nothing seems to mention this. Did Adobe get rid of that feature in PhotoShop or am I just missing the solution?
    Thanks in advance

    Have You hit that button?

  • Macbook no print dialogue box

    Hi.  Just started new gig and installed the office printer driver (Brother MFC-9970CDW) supposedly compatible with my OS 10.4.11, which seemed to go fine.  But now when I try and print a document -- any document -- the print dialogue box simply doesn't appear. I receive no other notifications. Just nothing happens.  Period.  Can someone suggest what I might have done wrong?  I'm trying to connect to the printer via the in-house wireless network.  Thank you very much.
    Hardware Overview:

    In your original post, you said, "...It started in the middle of filling out pdf forms on my iMac in Adobe Acrobat. I completed 4 tried the 5th and had the print dialogue box appear as described."
    Which version of Adobe Acrobat, i.e., v.4, 5, 6, or 7? And is it Adobe Acrobat or Acrobat Reader.
    Anyway, I suggest checking your hard disk using Install Disk 1 of the Panther set.
    (a) Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart your computer holding down the C key. Continue to hold down the C key until the Apple logo appears.
    (b) After the Installer window appears on the desktop, click on the menu "Installer" and select "Disk Utility".
    (c) When Disk Utility opens: on the left pane, select your hard disk and then on the right, click the First Aid tab followed by clicking the button "Repair Disk" (lower right).
    If it reports any errors/repairs, re-run Repair Disk until it report no errors.
    (d) Click on Repair Disk Permissions. Then quit Disk Utility.
    (e) Restart computer.
    (f) Launch Disk Utility (the one on your hard disk) and Repair Disk Permissions again.
    Post back to let us know what happens.
