Print Dialogue does not show print quality options on MacBook

I am trying to print wirelessly from my Macbook Pro to a HP 5500 connected to G5. I can print no problems, but I can't control the print quality as this option does not appear in the print dialogue box.
When I print the same page from my G4 powerbook I get print quality options in the dialogue. Both laptops are running 10.4.8 and connecting wirelessly by an airport network. The printer is plugged in the G5 not an airport express.

Hi there,
As Scapesuiter has mentioned, it would be best to check the HP web site to see if there is a Universal driver for your printer. These are drivers that have been written to work on the new Intel Mac's and on the previous Power PC (PPC) Mac's.
If there isn't a Universal driver, you can still use the older PPC driver, however you will experience problems like you are getting when printing from a Universal application via a PPC driver. Usually you see a line through the option that is not available, but I guess another symptom could be that the option is not viewable. Anyway, for some Universal applications, you can choose to open them using the Rosetta emulator. With the application closed, select its icon in the Finder and do a Get Info (Cmd - I). In the window that appears there may be the option "Open using Rosetta". If there is, select this option, close the window and open the application. Now try to print and see if the option is present.
Regards,
Paul

  • Bonjour does not show printer available for installation

    I can print via Airport-Express when I'm using an HP Desk Jet 948c. If I connect the HP Office Jet G95 (purchased 2001) to the Airport-Express Bonjour does not show the printer as available for installation, but I can print with printer connected to the USB port of the notebook.

    These may help.

  • Itunes 10.2.1 does not show remote speakers option

    I have been having a strange issue on one of my laptops. I have two laptops - one with Windows 7 64bit and Windows XP 32 bit. On both laptops, I was able to connect to the airport express to stream music to my home theater (receiver) till a few months back. Both have the latest version of Itunes - 10.2.1. Now, the Windows 7 laptop continues to work fine but the Windows XP laptop is having problems. *Itunes does not show the remote speaker option. The airport utility does not recognize the airport express.* In the Windows Firewall exceptions, there are entries for Bonjour (port 5353 UDP), Bonjour Service (mDNSresponder.exe) and Itunes.exe and all are checked. Even if I disable firewall, it does not resolve anything.
    The airport express is connected through an ethernet cable to the Belkin Wireless N router. The wireless mode for the airport express is switched off. The firmware on the airport express is version 6.3.
    Few differences between the two laptops
    Windows XP: I use a Belking Wireless N Notebook card to connect to the Belkin Wireless N Router. Antivirus is "McAfee VirusScan Enterprise + Antispyware Enterprise 8.7.0i"
    Windows 7: I use the inbuilt wireless to connect to the same router. Antivirus is "ESET Smart Security 4.0"
    Can someone help? I have researched the forum and tried the following things but still does not help.
    1. Tried uninstalling Itunes and Airport Utility and reinstalling
    2. Tried disabling Windows Firewall

    I solved my problem I tried several other programs to play my music and since nothing seemed to work, i started deleting other software from my computer and apparently Uniblue's RegistryBooster was the one that caused the problem. Now able to enjoy music from my computer again

  • Video preview does not show a quicktime option

    My main videos are going to YouTube and I would like my preview in Premiere Pro CC to be quicktime so I can edit correctly to the format.  Under New Sequence Settings it does not give me that option.  Is there something I need to manually install?

    What platform are you on? QuickTime is available as the Preview File Format [PFF] only on Mac.
    In general, the PFF is not critical the final encoded output, but there are a couple exceptions. So I'm interested curious about why you feel it's important to have the PFF match your eventual export format.
    Also, my understanding is that the preferred format for YouTube is h.264, not QuickTime. I haven't studied YouTube's recommendations/requirements, but I know for a fact that the format for all YouTube presets is h.264.

  • When trying to set up syn with outlook 2010 - it does not show as an option

    When trying to set up syn with outlook 2010 - outlook it does not show as an option

    Hi smrkevin,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community.
    What version of BlackBerry Desktop Software do you have installed? If you do not have the latest version listed here: http://bbry.lv/ds97JW I would advise upgrading it.
    If you already have the latest version of Desktop Software, can you verify if you are running a Click to Run installation of Outlook? You can check this in Outlook -> Help -> About Microsoft Outlook. If you are using a Click to Run installation, you will need to install a full version of Microsoft Outlook to setup synchronization. For more information, see: http://bbry.lv/qDIoXO
    Hope this helps.

  • Iphone 4s data will not work + does not show up when plugged into macbook.

    I need to try to reset my iphone because it is not allowing me to use data on the phone even though my carrier had verified all the settings are correct and that I have unlimited data on my plan. Every time I try to access the internet on the phone without wifi connected I get an error message saying "could not activate cellular data network" or "you are not subscribed to a cellular data network."
    However, when I plug my iphone 4s into my macbook pro it is recognized and shown in itunes, however I cannot download photos (iphoto shows an error message saying "no camera found") and the phone does not show up on my desktop or finder. I find alot of people have a problem with the iphone not showing up AT ALL, but mine works in itunes, just nowhere else on my computer.
    I have tried to use icloud to back it up, but when I log onto icloud with my macbook to see what data is there and try to access my photos, only my contacts and a few other apps I dont need show up. No photos at all.

    If there's an Apple store nearby make an appointment with the genius bar to have it checked.  Be sure to sync it and back it up, as well as import your photos and videos to your computer and back up your contacts separately (such as by sync them with iCloud) in case it needs to be replaced.

  • Print dialog does not show DINA4 anymore?

    Hey,
    after upgrading to Lion, i can't print DINA4 (e.g. PDFs through Preview) anymore,
    the only option in the dialog is US-Letter...
    do I have to add a special language pack? is the printing driver (SAMSUNG CLP-315)
    not ready for Lion yet?
    thanks for any help
    max

    When the print dialog opens (e.g. in preview) it chooses the default printer and only gives US-Letter as option.
    When I then choose the other printer from the pulldown menu, I can choose from lots of different
    paper formats...switching now back to the default printer I can choose A4...
    This is reproducable: whenever I open up a new printing dialog with the CUPS network printer as default printer
    I only have US-Letter in the menu...
    wow bugtracking: feels like back in the days when we were using linux
    I have the same setup and since my update to Lion I experience the problem you describe. The print dialog only offers "US letter" in the "Paper Size" drop down.
    I also use the same work around as you to set the paper size to A4. I select a local printer to get a long list of different paper sizes to choose from. When I switch back to a printer connected to a CUPS printer server, the list is kept. This allows me to select A4. However, it also allows me to select paper sizes not provided by the currently selected printer.
    This is no satisfying solution

  • HI, when i now hook up my A510 camera to the computer, the scan to printer page does not show

    My A510 camera does not come up on my computer so I can save and print.

    I assume you're using Windows?  Is it XP, 7? 8? 
    Here's previous advice given by Richard, a Canon product export, that might apply:
    This sounds like the driver for your camera is corrupted.  You should be able to resolve this by removing, then reinstalling the driver.
    With your camera connected and turned on in the playback mode:
    1-  Right-Click on "Computer" (in the menu) and choose "Properties".
    2-  In the upper left-hand corner, click on the "Device Manager" link.
    3-  Once in Device Manager, find the "Portable Devices" group and click on the "+" sign in front of it.
    4-  If you see your PowerShot camera listed, right-click on it and choose "Uninstall" and allow the "uninstall" to proceed.
    5-  Now turn the camera off. Wait a few seconds and then turn your camera on.

  • I am trying to access my gmail on Firefox, but the browser is not alowing me to connect, but returns an invalid secirity certificate. The dialogue does not give you an option to bypass the blockage and proceed. So I cannnot access my g mail.

  • HT1386 My Iphone has stopped importing new photos to my computer when I connect and does not show a photos option under the device when in itunes.  I don't have any access to the photos except directly through the phone.

    It seems after my latest upgrade that my phone has stopped importing new photos and vids when I link up to my computer.  It always would ask me if I wanted to tag new photos and then would import to computer.  Now it does not and when I am in Itunes the options under my device does not include photos so i can't even import them manually.  Any ideas on what is up?

    iTunes doesn't import photos from your device, in only syncs photos from your computer to your device. 
    You may need to adjust your autoplay settings as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1500 (except to enable digital camera notification, not disable it) in order to restore automatic prompts to import photos.

  • The Search field "print.print_printer" does not show in about:config. I cannot reset

    When I print from a selection from the web, half of the 1st line is missing. I have 2 printers: HP Officejet 5510 & HP Photosmart 7520. When I print from 5510, the page will also show the "address" at the top & the date/time & page number at the bottom. None of this happened until today.
    I have Windows 8
    When I print with the 7520, the address & the bottom part are barely printed.
    I reset the top margin to 1" from .5 that I had done yesterday when I doing some print jobs, but it did not change the parts that got cut off.
    I found a printer problem page on your site & the subject I listed is not available so I can attempt to reset Firefox.
    Thanks for your help

    Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
    You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

  • HP Officejet Pro 8610 All-in-One Printing Preference does not have Print Last Page First option

    HP Officejet Pro 8610 All-in-One printer:  Printing Preference missing Print Last Page First option.  Print lots of multipage documents.  Spending enormous amount of time resorting pages. 
    Prior to this printer?  .... grab printed stack -  staple  -  DONE! 
    Now?   Have to resort every document!
    Anyone out there have a solution?

    Reply to mkjohnson42. It doesn't matter what application I'm in. The option is NOT there. Just to confirm, I started from Word 2010, Excel 2010, a web page using Internet Explorer, Foxfire and Chrome. Plus, I did the old stand-by of going to Printers and Devices>Preferences. Under Preferences I have the choice to print on both sides of paper but NO Print Last Page First. I REALLY did check ALL of this before resorting to the Community. So, I really don't understand your question. Sorry.

  • Smart Web Printing does not show/print german special characters (äöü)

    I have installes Smart Web Printing on my computer with WIndows 7. I do use a german localization. Selected text is shown and printed correct, except german special characters ä ö ü. They are even not shown correctly in the menues of the application.

    Response to cor-el suggestions:
    I tried what you suggested as far as checking the theme (it's "Default 8.0") and deleting the sessionstore files (there was one .js file, one -1.js file and one .bak file). I still have the same slow response problems (especially typing, it has gone dead on me for a short time twice while typing this replay so far, now a third time) and lost of headers and trailers and some data.
    I did the suggested actions three times just to make sure that I was doing them correctly. On the first try, the sessionstore.js and sessionstore-1.js was more than twice the size of sessionstore.bak. Since doing what was suggested, the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak are, I believe, the same size. I did not write down their size is why I am not certain.
    The printing problem appears to only be with one website which is an investment website which I would prefer not to document here. I print from this website each weekday and I have confirmed that the printing problem started when the upgrade to version 8.0 occurred.
    I need a solution to this or I am going to either go back to IE (Ugh!) or find another browser. The typing delays are an extreme annoyance since I do lots on the Internet including a lot of emailing. The delays also involve the buttons to select functions within a website.
    Is there a way to get back to the version previous to version 8.0?
