Printer names in print dialog box

When I print a document the printer list contains printers I no longer own or with network addresses that are no longer valid/active. There are only two printers in printer Setup Utility but 5 or more in the print dialog box (even more when printing from a Classic application).
How do I delete these printers? A search of the hard disk does not find the names shown in the list and the various ppd folders do not seem to contain these printers (at least under the names given in the dialog box).
Thanks

Thanks - all gone!
Printing Prefs are files named com.apple.print.*
I think it will be in one of those. It doesn't hurt
to delete them (except if you have some presets you
want to save, don't delete the presets one). Do File
Find file.

Cannot print to canon MP160, dialog box says printer off line, but it is on line, OK printing with IE

I just installed the Canon MP160 printer. I downloaded the driver software from Canon version 12.1.4.0.(2/8/2008). I can print documents fine from Internet Explorer. When I go to print from Firefox the printer dialog box says the printer is "off line" and I get printer queue error messages. I can also print OK from windows. I have a PC 32 bit with Windows Vista.

I think your issue is that even though you have the latest 10.2.0 driver for 10.9, you added the printer using the previous v2.43 PPD. So open Print & Scan, remove the current printer for the iRC3380 and click the plus button to add again. After selecting IP > LPD and entering the IP address, ensure you select "Canon iR C2880/C3380" in the Use menu. Note that there is no mention of UFRII in the model name, as is the case with the previous UFR2 v2.43 driver.
Thanks for the suggestion. I did that this morning (see Step 1) and deleted the existing printer before re-adding a new printer and using the newly updated driver and printer description. Here's what I get:
You can see my model number is listed in there as is the the proprietary Canon UFRII language.
Once added, here's what happens next:
So it would appear, at this point, that the printer is installed and communicating and that I should be good to print.
Alas, I get the same error message I've been getting. back to square one.

Blank Sheet at beginning and between every printed page; Separator Page dialog box is blank.

I followed directions of another blog and when I got to the Separator Page dialog box, it said to "delete all templates listed in the Separator Page box", but mine was blank. If I click on the browse button, I do find pcl,sep; pscript.sep; sysprint.sep; and sysprtj.sep files. Do I delete these sep files? I have a HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-One Printer and am using Windows 7 (had same problem with VISTA).

I had this issue using FF 5.0, I fixed it by doing the following :
# Go to firefox button, select options, options.
# Find all the applications that are listed as Adobe
# Change the action from 'Use Adobe Reader (in FireFox)' to 'Use Adobe Reader'
Fixed :)

Firefox 5.0 won't print web page - no dialog box

After updating to FF 5.0, I can no longer print using File>Print (or Control+P). No dialog box comes up, no error message - just nothing. My printer is an HP Deskjet D4260 and it prints fine from Internet Explorer or from files saved to my computer.
I tried a couple "fixes", including disabling HP Smart Web Printing and resetting the print.print_printer file from about:config. Neither option worked. Please help!
Thanks!

Is Fixed! Someone suggested clearing the Firefox cache 9 (Preferences / Advanced / Network / Clear Now) and and after doing this now we can stream on the YouTube site as normal.

Hello
Are you taking the user´s printer?
All the goods receipts are in a internal table? If so, you can do a loop in this internal table and call your smartform.
Post here your solution, we can discuss about it

Secure printing problems with the dialog box

Hi!
Some one which has problem with the scure dialog box then using secure printing?
then we print in Adobe acrobat reader X 10.0.1 the dialog box for entring your pin nummer appearing under acrobat, causeing the program to locking until you go to the dialog box and clicking on it and enter the pin. The problem is that adobe not showing the dialog box in front of the printing overall dialog.
had nog problem with the old 9, it started then we uppgraded. Haw tride a nother driver but haw same issue. And all other programs works greate, word, notepat etc so it is just Adobe that has the problem.. ?
/J

Hi!
Its´s XP sp3 and the printer is a network printer(Toshiba e-studio 4520c) running a PCL6 driver.
Screen capture is not so much to see i think, running Swedish interface to. The ordinary dialogbox för printing is the first thing thats pops up, and then adobe reader frezes because the secund box pops up under adobe, you can click on it in the "toolbar" to continue. One thing that is diffrent when you print in adobe is that you can se on the "toolbar" for the popup box for the pin/password box is a Adobe icon on it. It is not so in example when printing in word, ie8 etc.
The problem is that many users dont see it and thinks the program has stopt working.
Im now going to try the PS driver from toshibas homepage..
thanks for help!

I can no longer print email from my gmail account. when I select "print all" ling a dialog box opens trying to save file & firefox locks up

I can no longer print email from my gmail account. when I select "print all" link, a dialogue box opens attempting to save as file type .xls. another dialogue box says firefox is preparing file... meanwhile firefox locks up.

Is your printer selected?
Or are you printing to XLS?

Is there a way of renaming files AS you download them (as in IE where you type the name into the dialog box as you save)?

I save batches of records from an info source and need to give them memorable names as I download them, so that I can find the correct record again easily. Currently the system just calls them, e.g. wrlb, wrlb[2], wrlb[3]. When I used IE, I could type a filename into the dialog box as I saved, but Firefox doesn't seem to have any option to rename. Can anyone point me to a solution?

"temp");
Boolean v = doc.PrintPagesSilent(0, ((Acrobat.AcroPDDoc)(doc.GetPDDoc())).GetNumPages() - 1, 0, 0, 1);doc.Close(1);

PrintPDF(System.IO.Directory.GetFiles("c:\\t\\printjob"));
copy all files that you want to convert in side the mentioned path and run it program, then check the defualt print path for Adobe PDF printer.

To change the printer name while printing the invoice

When should be done for the error message not to be shown when the printer name is 'LOCL'.

Hi,
Here my requirement is first the user has to check the nast table if there is any entry with o/p type ZURD and printer 'USJC-PM03' .If there is an entry then an error message 'This Output already printed in USJC-PM03,Change the printer name 'USJC-PM03' to 'LOCL' and then print' has to be displayed.
Then if i close this popup window which is showing error message and change the printer name from 'USJC-PM03' to 'LOCL', and click on execute button,the printer name is not getting changed and still the error message is getting displayed.How to remove this error message?

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:
Using the Print Dialog Box

Common DialogControl Constants
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cmdlg98/html/vbidxCommonDialogContr...
Alternatively, consider avoiding the Common Dialog Control calling a dll that will directly return the selected printer name from a dialog:

I have a canon MX7600 multifunction printer. My security setting allow connection with the printer. If I disable the firewall it works fine. If the firewall is running I get a dialog box every time I print asking for permission. How do I fix this?

I have a canon MX 7600 multifunction printer. Each time I print I get a dialog box asking for permission to allow connections to the printer. This box stays on my screen for a few seconds, if I don't click allow I get a communication error which then requires me to delete the job and start over. I contacted Canon and proceeded with their suggestions to no avail. They now say it is an Apple issue. My security settings are set to allow connection to the canon printer. If I disable the firewall it works fine, once I enable the firewall the problem returns. This issue is a royal pain. Any suggestions on how to fix it short of buying a new printer?

Is it possible for someone to print a completed form with all the dialog box entries also printing?

We have a grant application form that applicants will complete. We have tested it by completing the form and noticed that if it is printed, all of the dialog box entries don't print, just what is visible on the form. Any fix for this?

Print without dialog box, scripting php

I have build a php based application that has a printing requirement.
I would like the user to be able to print a simple html file to a network printer without seeing a dialog box.
the JS window.print() shows the user a dialog box. I would prefer the user bypass this dialog and just print some output generated by a php script.
this is probably the wrong forum to post this, but i didn't see much activity elsewhere and i figureds some type of unix command line print function might be the solution.
any thoughts?

You will have to use a tool like swfstudio
or zinc to achieve this.
Flash itself can`t (and shouldn`t) override the systemwide settings .

HELP: SP01: Printer Name is Invalid

Hello SAP Friends/Gurus,
I am getting "The printer name is invalid" error message in SP01, when trying to print in SAP:
Windows/NT error 1801 [
<my machine name>\<my printer name>]: "The printer name is invalid."
The thing is, my machine and printer name are both correct. I even tried changing the settings of my printer (from its hostname to its IP address) in SPAD. My printer is directly connected to my computer.
Also, I could not print using LOCL.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this? Thank you very much in advance!
Best Regards,
Albert

Hai,
Are you using 'C' as your access method, check that.
This message indicates that the printer name is invalid or otherwise incorrect. Click on Start > Run, and enter the same UNC to see if the printer can be accessed manually. If attempting to set the printer as default, the printer name and the share name must match exactly same (case sensitive also).
Enter the UNC name of the printer (name and network path) as it is defined in the Microsoft Windows Print Manager.
For example:
P09330\P330
