Printer app stays open after printing

even after selecting "auto-quit" with ctrl-click in the dock!
Is there a fix? (this happens on different printers)

Other users mentioned that it was necessary to delete and re-add the printer to get this to stick.
Hope this helps.

This is what I'm facing. It is quite annoying.
1. On home screen, I press sleep button. Phone goes into sleep mode(as usual).
2. I receive an incoming call.
3. I/caller end it.
4. Phone again goes back into sleep/standby mode.
5. When I press Home button, then slide to unlock, I find 'Contacts' app opened. *Why? This is quite annoying!*

Acrobat 9 - PDF doesn't open after print

After updating Acrobat 9, my PDF printer was renamed to "Adobe PDF (Copy 1)" and after printing, the created PDF does not open automatically. How can I change the setting back to have the PDF open after printing?
I tried renaming the printer to "Adobe PDF". There is only one PDF printer. I checked the settings of the printer, and believe them to be correct. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I do not know why you have a copy of the Adobe PDF printer. The original Adobe PDF printer is used for printing to a PDF and the settings are found in the properties under the settings tab. You might have to select the advanced button on the general tab first. Some of the properties require stepping into another level of menus.

Canon Printing - Window stays open

This is a nit-picking question but bothersome none the less. Ever since I upgraded to Leopard, when I print something the printer window opens while printing then STAYS open and I would have to manually close the window. In Tiger it used to close automatically when the print job was complete. I have all the latest software and drivers. Is there a quick fix for this?
Thanks

There are several threads on this here. This is a new feature in Leopard, and you can set it to close by using the Auto Quit menu item in the printer's dock menu. Some have had to delete and re-add the printer for the Auto Quit to stick.
Hope this helps.

Printer won't quit after printing

After I print anything from my eMac to the HP laser printer it is hooked up to, the printer icon stays in the dock with the little arrow under it showing that it is open. It won't quit automatically; I have to manually go in and quit the printer. I tried looking in the dock and print preferences, but couldn't figure out how to get the printer to quit automatically once it is done. Any help would be appreciated, since this is a new computer in my school lab (although the machine itself isn't new), and the kids love to click on anything they see, so the less they see, the better.
Thanks in advance!

Hi
I see.
Have you by chance set the Docked icon to Keep In Dock, found by clicking and holding down on the docked icon?
Furthermore you say the printer icon stays open showing a green arrow, so is that both the printer utility and the printer both showing in the dock?
i think normally, there should only be the printer utility, a green open printer symbol doesn't ring a bell, so to speak.

Some apps stay open when trying to close more than one app at a time in ios 7

I tried closing down 2 or 3 app at a time in IOS7 and there's always one or two that stay open. The icon at the bottom is still there but I've already swiped it up to close it. When I go out of the closing function and come back I see that they are still open and I need to close them again. I tried this on many ipads, iPhones and ipod touch and they all act the same way.
Chris

I guess you didn't know, but yes you can close more than one app at a time. You can close up to 3 apps at a time in the new IOS7 on the iPhone. Try opening at least 3 apps and then double click the main button to see what apps are opened. Then swipe to the left to see the three of them on your screen. Your not gonna see the ones on the side entirely but you can still put all three fingers on them, then simply swipe them up and it closes them up.
The thing is, when you have let say 10 apps open, and you start using this trick, some of them will stay open meaning you swiped them up to close them down but the bottom icon stays there. When you come back to your main IOS desktop and then go back to close the programs that you have opened, you can see that those apps are still opened. There is only like 2 or three out of all the 10 you had opened that stayed open, but none the less it's a bug in the system I presume.
You also asked about the icon at the bottom. When you are seeing what apps are opened, there is always a small icon at the bottom and on top you have a representation of what you were working on, and that is the part you swipe up. But often time the bottom icon will stay opened after swiping 2 or 3 of the apps to close them.

Stop bookmark menus from staying open after I move my mouse

I just updated to FF 6.0. My bookmarks menu has multiple folders containing additional bookmarks. When I open one of the bookmarks folders (sub-menus) the sub-menu stays open after I move my mouse. In the old version the menu closed when I moved my mouse. This is a problem because when it is open it obscures the menu below. This means that I have to close everything each time I want to move to a different folder. It also means that I MUST make a direct hit on the folder I want to open - pain in the 'you-know-what'.
I can't find anyway to turn this feature off - and if I can't I will have to uninstall this version.

Currently 664 [exported from FFox Bookmarks to URL Manager for the count] abut never more than 4000: beyond 4000 bookmarks and FFoxs' Bookmarks respond slowly even without Sync active. I currently have 5 computer with FFox set up to use Sync. While I don't expect FFox to manage a huge collection of URLs, I would be nice to be able to access a Bookmark collection of 6000 to 8000 without noticeable delay. It's a simple text file after all, and as I'm only effecting one URL, why so long to update?
fyi: URL Manager tells me that I've amassed about 300,000 bookmarks, some from the late 90's which I still use for research.

Make terminator stay open after command completion? [SOLVED]

I'd like to execute a command into terminator from my Openbox menu and have it stay open after the command completes.
I know urxvt does this with a "-hold" option but I'd like to just use one terminal instead of two or more for different things.

Thanks.
I also found on the crunchbag forums that you can use a --profile flag (not mentioned in the terminator man page </sigh>)
terminator --profile stayopen --geometry 990x500+0+20 --command '{my command}'

Printer Queue Stays Open In Dock

I want the Printer Queue icon to automatically remove itself from the Dock after files have been successfully printed. Didn't it used to do that? Now, it stays open and takes up room and I have to quit it manually to make it go away. Is there any way to change this behavior?
Thanks

YES! THANK YOU!
Auto Quit.
I also have to hide completed jobs or it will not quit automatically.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Little things like that bug the heck out of me.

Adobe XI remains open after printing from command line

I am using a program to collect, batch print and delete multiple PDF files.
The following command line is used to print the files, after which the file is deleted and next file is collected.
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /T /N FileName.pdf
I have now upgraded to Adobe XI, however Adobe remains open (and minimized) after sending the print job to the printer, resulting in my programing freezing while waiting to delete.
Is there a parameter to close Adobe after printing?
This is rather urgent as we have started rolling out the new Adobe XI.
OS = Windows7 Prof x64

Command line parameters are sparsely documented and are officially not supported. What is documented can be found here: http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/acrobat/sdk/pdf/intro_to_sdk/DeveloperFAQ.pd f
I've not seen anything that shows what you want to do.

One of my apps won't stay open after iPad and app both had update

After updating with the new update for the iPad I updated my nook app. Now my nook app won't stay open. I've restarted my iPad multiple times and tried it with and without wifi still won't stay open.

I suggest trying the update again after an hour or two. Sometimes, the notice that an update is available comes an hour or two before the developers actually sends the revised app out to be downloaded.

APP wont stay open after upgrade to 120GB HDD, Help

Hello
I just upgraded my main HDD to a 120GB seagate drive, everything seems to be working fine until I open my flash and photoshop and other programs. flash will not stay open, as soon as it opens it quits right away. I re-installed the program and re-start the computer but it still does the same thing. Other program like photoshop and InDesign says it can not sync with the color pallet because the file is missing. I used color sync utility and repaired all profiles. but photoshop and indesign still says they can not sync color due to missing files.
Does anyone have exprience with this problem? All my other apple apps seems to be functioning normally.
Thank you for any suggestions and comments.
Michael Huang
PS: when I upgraded to the 120GB HDD, I installed osx tiger on the new drive and used migration assistant to transfer all the data from the old 30GB HDD.

I had the same problem and solved it myself.
