Printer stays in doc after print job

Hello
Since I moved to Leopard, I notice that when a print job is done, the printer icon/app stays in the dock. I have to Quit the app for it to go away.
As far as I can remember, in previous OS versions, the printer app would appear in the dock and when the print job was over, it would quit automatically.
How can I get it to automatically quit after a print job, in Leopard?
Thanks

I believe that leaving the printing system running (which is why it stays in the dock) is based on the assumption that you may wish to print again and don't want to incur the startup delay each time you print a page or two. If my printer is on, I leave it in the dock. When I turn off the printer, I exit the printing system manually.
As noted, there is an option to start it up each time you want to print something.

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8000 A809 printing line feed page after every job

    I've searched and I have found this is a known issue - that there is supposed to be an update to fix this. I can't find this update anywhere for the HP Officejet Pro 8000 A809. It is connected to the computer via a USB cable. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, changing the print heads, doing diagnostics on it, ..., and I still get the line feed page printing after every print job. Help!

    Hey there @tjkalb, I hope you are doing well
    I read your post about how a "line feed" page prints after each print job from your Officejet 8000, running Windows 7. I have some steps and questions for you to try to get started. Afterwards please get back to me with the results and we will go from there if needed.
    1. Does the "line feed" page print after print jobs from all programs, or are you finding it prints when you print from somewhere specifically?
    2. Try a Clean Boot on your PC, restart the PC, and try printing from Notepad to see if the line feed prints.
    3. Print a Print Quality Page from the printer and examine it for any defects and to see if the line feed page still prints afterwards:
    source
    4. Click here and try download the "Updates" for this printer: HP Officejet Pro 8000 Printer - A809a
    5. Create another User Account profile on your computer and try printing from there to see if the line feed page prints from another profile.

  • 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.

  • Printing application ALWAYS running after printing

    I would like to see if I am the ONLY one who found that when you print, the printer application stays running and you have to manually quit the application!!?? BEFORE Leopard, you didn't have to do this and I cannot see where I can have this automatically quit AFTER sending all to the printer!
    Any suggestions other than going back to the previous version of the OS...

    Open the printer's queue application (or print something, and as you noted, it'll stay open).
    Right-click -- or control-click -- on the application's icon in the dock.
    Select the "Auto-quit" item, see that it's checked, and then quit the application.
    Voilà! Next time you print it'll quit on its own.

  • Why can't I print to wireless printers after printing via USB?

    We're all wireless in my office. I can print to any number of nearby printers with no problems EXCEPT AFTER I print to my personal Epson printer via USB. I've tried turning my computer on and off, and I've also tried switching to another wireless network and switching back. I still can't print to the other wireless printers. The "Nearby Printers" list doesn't even show up in the Print menu after I use my Epson. In System Preferences, the Print & Fax menu of Hardware clearly shows my computer sees the printers on the network, but when I send a print job it says the printers are "offline". Is something affecting my drivers after printing USB? Ugh!

    This is an issue for your office IT guy.

  • Problems printing from other programs after printing using Word automation

    I have an application that uses ActiveX to build a Word document. My print VI is attached. The problem that users are reporting is that after printing a report with my application, they can't print from any other programs until they restart their computer.
    After my print VI runs, the only other Word automation is Document.Close and Application.Quit. I close all my references religiously and winword.exe closes just fine. I don't know what would be hanging around causing other programs to have trouble printing. One thing I don't like is the ActivePrinter property in Word. It changes the default printer in Windows. This is why I reset it using the printer LabVIEW reports as the default. I tried reading ActivePrinter and storing it in a wire, then resetting it with this string, but then even weirder things happened - the printout got all messed up. This is why I'm using the printer that LabVIEW says is the default.
    Has anyone ever encountered anything like this?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Just ran a test and I got a perfect card. Here's what I did.
    1 - create the card and type Command-P.
    2 - select Stylus Photo R200 under Printer
    3 - click on the Advanced button
    4 - in the bottom drop down menu select Paper Handling
    5 - select the radio button "Use documents paper size: 7.00 in x 10.00 in
    6 - now select Print Settings in the 3rd drop down menu
    7 - select the type of paper you're using and the print quality you want. I used Photo and High Speed. (also used plain paper for my test)
    9 - put a piece of 7 x 10 paper in the printer (yes, you'll have to trip the paper beforehand or use card stock designed for this)
    10 - click on Print
    11 - when the paper exits the printer quickly put it back in the printer
    That will do it. Now there is a caveat. Putting it back into the printer before drying tended to get my leading edge nipped. If you use heaver card stock I don't think that will happen but just be aware. If you wait a moment to put the page, turned over, back into the printer to let the ink dry a bit, all you'll have to do is press the middle button which will be blinking red and that will feed the other side thru when you're ready.

  • Printing an additional Form after printing an Invoice

    I need to setup SAP B1 to print another form AFTER printing the A/R Invoice. This form needs to use items from the invoice ( item, qty) to populate fields. Any ideas on how to accomplish this?
    TIA
    Jeff

    Jeff,
    You probably need Crystal Report to make two forms under one report.
    Thanks,

  • Why does the print cue window stay open even after job is done?

    In Tiger, and every other version of OSX I have any recollection of using, the printer window opens to display what's in the cue when you select to print something. Once printing is done, this cue closes. Since installing Leopard, everytime we print from our iMac, MacBook or MBP, the print cue window stays open indefinitely after the job is done, requiring a manual closing of the window. I can't for the life of me fathom what benefit this brings or who would want this. Is this part of Leopard or a problem with our install? Something I can turn off?

    If you control-click (or right click) on the open printer queue in the Dock you can choose to have it auto close once the spool file is sent.
    As to why this is necessary in Leopard, well I haven't seen a good enough answer to date...

  • Reader XI.  Can't print protected mode doc

    Reader XI.  Can't print protected mode doc. Printer help says to disable protected mode, choose Edit > Preferences and click Security (Enhanced) on the left. Deselect Enable Protected Mode At Startup. Close Reader, restart it, and try to print the document again.  WHERE DO I FIND EDIT/PREFERENCES?

    Hi no221bbakr,
    Please describe the problem your are facing.
    Are you not able to print any PDF document? or is it something else?
    Why you need to disable protected mode.
    NOTE : Purpose of Reader XI Protected Mode is to keep your system safe from PDF based exploits and keeping protected mode OFF will leave your system vulnerable.

  • Printer Stays Grayed out on TS

    2008 r2 TS server
    when i add a printer locally and standard TCP/IP it stays grayed out. i have added many other printers of the same and different models, and they are fine...  why would this printer stay gray and not print anything i send to it?

    Hi,
    à
    when i add a printer locally and standard TCP/IP it stays grayed out.
    Did you mean that the new added printer grayed out? Would you please provide a screenshot of it? That may help
    me to understand better. Thanks for your understanding.
    When you add this printer, did you get any error message? Did you open Event Viewer and check if find any relevant
    event? If possible, please re-add this problematic printer and check if this issue still exists.
    If anything I misunderstand or any update, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,

  • Printed front panel graphics quality (Print Panel to Printer method vs. Append Front Panel Image to Report.vi)

    LV 6.02 (or 6.1)
    NT 4.0
    I have a vi that the front panel includes all the information I need to print except that it is on different pages of a tab control to conserve screen space. I was attempting to programatically cycle the value of the tab control in a For loop and invoke the Print Panel to Printer method to print 7 pages of the front panel, each with a different tab page selected. The printouts were excellent quality but beginning with the second consecutive Print Panel to Printer method the on screen front panel image of the VI being printed would become jumbled (sometimes, by the time 7 printings were done, the entire front panel image would disappe
    ar and a bitmap of the desktop or underlying windows would be visible in the VI's panel frame) yet the subsequent Print Panel to Printer methods continued to print the panel as they should appear. The visible front panel graphics would never return to normal and the only solution was to close the vi (in the dev system) or exe (compiled) and re-launch. I tried a lot of things (like hiding the panel to print before printing and showing it after printing) with no luck. It appears that two or more of these consecutive invoke methods caused the problem regardless of whether the tabs were cycling, or even if there was no tab control and much fewer controls on the panel to be printed than normal. I also had the same problem with LV 6.1.
    Finally, I was forced to switch to the report generation toolkit vi's, I cycle through the tab pages and use the Append Front Panel Image to Report.vi to append each image to the report. This is faster and control returns to my program quicker but I a
    m unhappy with the printed quality of the graphics of the front panels. They are not as high of resolution as those generated via the Print Panel to Printer method.
    Any suggestions?

    You might try changing the way the VI is printed by going to tools >> options >> printing. Try the postscript and bitmap settings.

  • Print job stays in queue after it's printed & hangs subsequent jobs

    I'm having a very frustrating printer problem under Leopard. A print job will stay in the queue and it's status remains as "printing" even after it's already printed. This happens especially when more than one job is in the print queue. The only way to get the subsequent jobs to print is to delete the hung job & then the other jobs will all print properly. The printer queue also remains active in the dock until all the jobs go through & I physically close the queue. If I send a single print job it will go through properly & the queue will close automagically. Subsequent multiple print jobs will also hang the queue just as described above.
    I'm printing to an HP Color LaserJet 2600n connected via USB. I've installed all of the latest HP printer drivers & still no luck. Any ideas?
    Thanks for any assistance.

    I too have had this exact same problem with a HP 1022 ever since upgrading to Leopard. It's intermittent but very irritating. HP were no help and I have just learnt to live with it. I have to clear the previous print job and sometimes turn the printer on and off again. I also have a HP K5400 which is a terrific colour ink jet printer. Unfortunately you cannot set the print quality options for Pages and Numbers documents, so I have to save them as pdf's first and then print them. It's fine with MS Office 08 and pretty much all other apps. I think I'm going to give HP printers a miss when I change them - but this may be for many years...
