Print Status Dialog Box

In my printer simulation, I want to display a dialog box that shows the print status. It should consist of a title bar with the X button, and a message. This message will update each time I change the string it uses. An OK (actually I'd prefer a Close button) should appear after the print queue is empty. And I wouldn't mind a little info icon.
Here's what I'm currently using:
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, printStatusMessage, JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);Any way to hide the button and bring it back later? And how do I refresh the message after I change the printStatusMessage string?

Instead of using a JOptionPane create your own JDialog (see Java Tutorial). Then you can add whatever you want.

I’m using an iMac running Os X Yosemite, Photoshop CS5 Extended, R2880 Epson printer In the Print Settings dialog box, I can’t select Color, Advanced BW or Grayscale unless I select “Printer Manages Color”. The pull down menu is grayed out. Even with “printer manages color” the tif or jpg image comes out in color overlaid with black. (See example - printer1. image on left is close to what it should be). Photoshop has no updates pending. I’ve downloaded the latest Epson driver which was working fine just before the problem occurred

Is your Photoshop CS5 updated to 12.1?
Are you on Yosemite 10.10.1 or Yosemite 10.10.2?
Did you apply the recent Epson software 2.1.9 update?
What type of file is it (file format)? What bit depth and what color space?

If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

In general use a property node with nothing attached to it in LabVIEW with the property Printing >> Default Printer or Printing >> Avalaible Printers to return the printers configured with Windows. One of these string items can be wired into the printer input of the report generation Print Report VI to select a printer.
In regards to the Microsoft Common Dialog 6.0 ActiveX controls, the printer selection from the dialog seems to be determined by the hDC output, which stands for hardware device context. If you modify the demo posted above to send in the appropriate flag value, either an informational or a direct hardware device context handle is returned in the ICommon property hDC. Input the flag value 512 to the ICommonDialog property Flags to return an hardware device context handle from the hDC property, or 1024 to return an informational device context.
More information about how to extract any meaningful information from this I32 number can doubtlessly be found at msdn.com, but I'm not sure personally how to do it. Specifically, here are a few posts to start your search at:

Common DialogControl Constants

Alternatively, consider avoiding the Common Dialog Control calling a dll that will directly return the selected printer name from a dialog:

Print Progress Dialog box always stays on top

Since upgrading to InDesign CC I have noticed that all print progress dialog boxes stay on top of all windows, even after switching apps. I find this highly annoying and want it to go away. Is there a preference I can change to make it NOT be on top, especially when I've switched to a different application?

(I am OP, having account issues)
Trashing preferences wouldn't help if it is a default behavior, which I think this is since it's been happening since the beginning with CC. I was wondering if this was a behavior that I can change with a preference or if I'm just stuck with it.

Image looks great in PS- when I go to print it looks grainy in printer preview dialog box and prints blurry. Why?

Image looks great in PS- when I go to print, it looks grainy in printer preview dialog box and prints blurry. Why is this happening?

PS CC, Yosemite, Epson 3880 (called espson to make sure it wasn't something with that), saved as a tiff/psdjpg- all files behave the same way. When I open the raw file- and only crop the image- it behaves this way now- with grain and blur when printing. No other files do this in the same shoot. I worked on this image- could something have gotten corrupted along the way such that now even opening the raw file creates this problem. SInce upgrading my computer - a window pops up when I open PS that says I need to update my graphics card?? for 3D- I'm not using 3D- so I don't know if that means anything. I have to leave for about an hour- but greatly appreciate any feedback. I will be in touch. Thank you.

Printing directly to printer without Print setup dialog box

I am using Crystal Reports 2008 with VB.NET 2008. Using the CrystalReportViewer control, how can I print directly to the printer without having the Print setup dialog box popup every time?

Only way would be to create your own print button and use the report engine APIs. A good sample app is vbnet_win_printtoprinter in this sample download:

How to print a dialog box with all its components ?

Hi !
I've written an application.It has a dialog box [JDialog] containing following components:
1) 2 JLabels.
1) A JTextField.
3) A JTable with some values.
4) A JProgressBar.
5) A JButton.
6) An animated gif image.
I want to print the dialog box with all its components exactly as the are [ Except the button & animated gif ].
Would anybody please help me?
My Operating System: Windows XP

The article over at http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Printing/Java2DPrinting/ has some helpful information on printing Swing components.
It suggests creating a subclass of the JComponent that you want to print, and have it implement Printable interface.
So, something like (note, uncompiled / untested code alert) :
import java.awt.Frame;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.HeadlessException;
import java.awt.print.PageFormat;
import java.awt.print.Printable;
import javax.swing.JDialog;
public class PrintableDialog extends JDialog implements Printable {
      * Or whichever constructor you need...
     public PrintableDialog(Frame owner, String title, boolean modal) throws HeadlessException {
          super(owner, title, modal);
      * Implementation of the Printable interface.
       public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pf, int pageIndex) {
          if (pageIndex != 0) return NO_SUCH_PAGE;
          Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
          g2.translate(pf.getImageableX(), pf.getImageableY());
          getContentPane().paint(g2);
          return PAGE_EXISTS;

Adobe pdf printer save dialog box opens in the background - progress bar shows Not Responding

I have two users who have Acrobat X Pro version 10.1.4 that are experiencing the same things. First, one person just changed laptops and the new one has a fresh Windows 7 Enterprise X64 image and new installation of Adobe Acrobat X Pro. When he used the pdf printer for the first time(after opening the program and accepting the license agreement) he was in MS Excel '07 and chose file>print>Adobe PDF and then the progress bar came up and then showed not responding. After he did this a couple of times with me standing there I noticed that the save dialog box was opening in the background because I could see the icon blinking on the taskbar. He said that his old computer never did this and that it would always open up and ask where to save the file and never show 'not responding' on the progress bar. The other person having the same issue is running the same version but she has had the program installed on her machine for a few months and an older version on before that.
Is there a way to make the dialog box show as soon as you print to the Adobe PDF printer? What is causing this? Is there another way to create a pdf from MS Office like the add-on?

Photoshop elements 2 print preview dialog box

I'm running PSE 2 on a PC with Windows XP and an old Dell monitor with 800x600 resolution. Problem: when I check the "More Options box, the box cuts off at "Print Space" And I can't control communication between PSE and the printer. I've fooled with the windows control panel etc. to try to reduce the size of the dialog box to no avail. PSE preferences does 't help either. Am I doomed?

Are you sure you can't change the resolution to 1024 x 768 pixels?

Smart form printing without dialog box

Hi,
Thanks to eveyone for reading this post.
I want to print a form thru smartform. I am able to do that now by calling that smart form and passing the data. Now i wanted to print multiple docs using smartform so that the dialog box printer doesnt apppear and all printing is executed without any user intervention.
I tried to call smart form in the following way so that data is printed to the printer without any thing appearing on the screen (dialog box).
I did consult the forums here and when i try it I either see the dialog box or see other sy-subrc.
Code -
Data: w_ctrlop TYPE ssfctrlop,
         w_compop TYPE ssfcompop.

    user_canceled      = 4
    OTHERS             = 5.
i would be glad if anyone can help me. I did a few RND in the code above to make it work but it dosent.
Moreover when the dialog box appears then there is a text in the bar below which says please maintain printer master data. (something like that). Is that creating a problem ?
Thanks,
JG

Help: printing skips dialog box option when printing from the finder

Anyone else running into the issue where you select a file from the finder, choose Command + P and instead of getting the print dialog box you get the file printed to the default printer? It is really annoying when you want to select print options or change printers. Is there a preference setting to force the print dialog box to open when choosing print from the finder. Currently I have to open the file in an app like Preview and then choose Command + P to get this to happen.
Any insights appreciated!

Is this recent that you are not seeing the print dialog when printing from Finder?
There isn't a preferences setting to force the dialog that I know of, but you can do a drag and drop to a printer while holding the option key - that'll give you access to the print dialog.

Printing without dialog box

I would like to print from the .swf without seeing a regular
OS print dialog box. Is there anyway around this? I am currently
using the print command with bframe.

No, it's not possible from flash itself. The user needs to
set the preference and that's something
we can't force. There are 3rd party tools tho that could help
you with it (for windows and flash exe
projector files) like Jstart from www.flashjester.com
Check

Avoid print job dialog box?

When I send a file to my printer, it prints and then I get a dialog box telling me what I've just printed. I have to click OK to dismiss it.
Is there a way to avoid having the message pop up? I know what I've printed!

I don't believe this is an OS X setting. This must be a feature of the printer driver you are using. Have a look at all the setting under Copies and Pages for an entry about your job pop-up.
