Printing Options - additional option - "Print Selected"

I would like to see an option in the print window for "Print Selected" as in Windows.
The only choice we have, AFAIK, is to print a single page or the whole enchilada.
If I wish to print a small selection from a large page I have to copy and paste it into a text file and then print that.
It would be handy to simply be able to select an area with the mouse to be printed and print it directly from the print function.

  • How do i get print to pdf option in MS programs under printer select screen?

    Hello there how do i install the print to PDF option in printer select box within MS programs

    Are you a subscriber to Adobe PDF Pack?

  • How can I print from my MacBook Pro to Canon MP560 using rear tray?  I can't find that "option" in the print selection possibilities.

    How can I print from my MacBook Pro to Canon MP560 using rear tray?  I can't find that "option" in the print selection possibilities.

    Sure can.
    With a document open in Pages, select to print so that you can see the print dialog as shown below.
    Note that to see this view, you may need to press the Show Details button in the bottom left corner. In the image above, since I have the expanded view displayed, this button changes to Hide Details
    So with the view shown, first change the Presets menu to Default Settings. Then click the Layout drop menu and select Quality & Media. Make the changes you want and then click on the Presets menu and select Save Current Settings as Preset...
    At the next window, give the Preset a name and select the Only this Printer radio button and then click OK to save it. That's it.
    As for the Preset that you already have, if you no longer want this preset then you can delete it via the Show Presets menu pane that you've used already.

  • Where are the print options, after selecting print it says to select a theme from print options, but no print options appear

    On macbook pro - I cannot print from the iphot library as it says I need to select a theme from print options, but the print options will not appear after selecting print

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • I can access a website and select the 'print' option but the print misses out

    I can access a website and select the 'print' option but the print misses out photos that should be included in the print. It happens on more than one website. If I use Explorer it doesn't happen. I guess there must be a setting or something that I have not found? Any help very gratefully received. Than you.

    I don't know if this will help, but I found it by accident. When I send Word projects to recipients, it doesn't always read properly depending on their format. If they have a PC It distortes my  program, or they may have newer versions of Word. If you have your document showing select 'print' and on my print menu at the bottom left corner it has a button that says 'PDF'. Click on that and it gives you several options for a PDF. What I do if I'm emailing to someone is select the email option then you can always print from the email. Hope that helps.

  • Put adobe as an option in the printer selection box

    how do you place adobe as an option in the printer selection box - when i do online remittances from my bank the remittance sheet only shows a print icon - if you hit it i only have the printer, fax and xps document writer as a selection i am using win7 it used to be in the window of the printer selction when i was using winxp can you solve this for me

    Yes I have acrobat the thing is on the XP there was a selection as save as an PDF File and that was in the Printer Box where u can select the printer you want to use.  But there is no option for this - the reason is again on the bank that I use when you fill out and send your remittance up comes a statement of what you sent date, beneficiary exchange rate etc. you have the option to print this sheet there is no save option on this so when I used hit the printer icon there comes the printer information and on this there was a choice of the printer or save to adobe.  That is missing now and I don't know how to get it back you can only do snip it and save that to the file.
    Can you advise on that?

  • When I try and print a web page in the print screen ALL the Print Frame options are greyed out. It won't let me print a page as I see it. I need to pring a page as is. How do I do it in the new 8.0??

    I go to print and try to select the radio button to print all frames, but It's not working

    The '''Print Frames''' options are greyed out unless the web page is made with Frames. I-Frames don't work the same.
    Check out this '''''frames test page''''' - http://www.draac.com/framestest.html <br />Is the '''Print Frames''' part of the print dialog box active?
    As far as printing a page as you see it, many web pages use '''print.css''' files for print-media. The print.css specifies exactly what is to be sent to the printer and it can control the formatting of the printed page.

  • How do i change the quality settings of my printer? the options are there but greyed out!

    how do i change the quality settings of my printer? the options are there but greyed out! ie on my old HP I could print in draft if i wanted to print a doc to read and then bin...the option/box is there but greyed out so I can't select. HELP!!!

    You can change the background display color in the playback preferences, either black, white, or checkerboard. This does not change the output color. If you want to add a color to the video, you have to place a custom generator underneath your video and change the color in the inspector.

  • I cannot and never have been, able to open a file that has been previously saved to hard disk by choosing the print to file option in the print dialogue box

    '''I cannot and never have been, able to open a file that has been previously saved to hard disk by choosing the print to file option in the print dialogue box. Firefox displays gooblygook even though the file name is an html, Windows Notepad crashes, MS Excel does not recognise the file type. MS Word displays goobblys also when the file has no filename extension.'''

    If you use print to file then you get a file that is meant to be send to a printer and that file has all kind of formatting code for that specific printer.
    Opening such a file in Firefox or a text editor can only work if you use a text only printer to print the file to, so make sure that such a printer is installed and selected.

  • Why is there not an option to only print form data in Adobe XI?

    I have created a form in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and saved it.  Then I want to open it in Adobe Reader, fill it in and then only print the form data but there is not an option to only print form data in Adobe Reader XI.  I'm not sure if it is in the way I created the form or something else.  Any help will greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    Basically you need to place the file's contents on a non-printing layer. Try this:
    Create a new blank file and open the Layers panel on the left.
    Click the Options button and select Import As Layer.
    Select your pre-existing PDF file (maybe save a copy of it without the form fields first and use that version).
    Right-click the layer you created and select Properties. Change the layer's Print option to "Never Prints".
    Now copy the fields from the other file and place them in their correct location on the page.
    Save the file and you have a file that can be used to print only the form fields data, even in Reader.
    This process can be automated, by the way, but that would require a script.

  • When I try to print, I just get print preview when I used to get print option.

    I loaded Firefox4 and now I can't print my calendar so it fills up the page. Before I could click print and my a print option would come up. I moved the print icon to my task bar and now I only get print preview. HELP!

    Hum. Let's uninstall with the 'scrubber option' like this:
    1. Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ click on HP Uninstaller and click Continue
    2. Highlight your device on the left pane
    3. Hold the Ctrl, Opt and Cmd keys and click on Uninstall
    4. There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL hp software. (At this point, if you continue, any HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
    5. Click Continue and let it finish
    Now, run a Software Update. This can be done by clicking the Apple in the top left of the screen then clicking Software Updates.
     Next, let's reset the printing system:
    Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
    - Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
    WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
    - Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Default tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
    Let me know how this works for you.

  • No black&white or grayscale option for postscript printer

    At work we have a Sharp laser copier printer that is capable of printing in color.  They tell us, however, to avoid printing in color because it costs more.
    Normally, in the print dialog, there's an advanced option where you can select to print in color or grayscale.  For this printer, for some reason, when we provide the address, and MacOS queries the printer type, it just appears as "Generic PostScript printer," and as a result, there is no such advanced option. 
    Is there another "generic" postscript driver we can select that will include this option?
    Incidentally, I can't figure out how to change what driver is being used for this printer.  Any hints?
    Thanks.

    The Generic PS driver included with OS X will only print in colour to a colour device. As you have found, there is no setting to change it to Grayscale/B&W.
    theosib wrote:

    If the Sharp supports the PCL printer language, there is a Generic PCL Laser driver also included with OS X that will only print in B&W.
    If the Sharp does not support the PCL printer language then check the Sharp web site for a "PPD" for your model. This should give you the option to print in B&W.

    If the printer is already created then you can use the CUPS web admin page to change the settings for the printer. But it is often just easier to delete the printer from Printers & Scanners and create a new one. Note that when creating the printer, you can click on the Use menu and this will give you options to select an alternate driver.

  • No Print To File option in Photoshop Lightroom (Mac OS and Windows)

    Q - Where do I find the "Print To File" option in Photoshop Lightroom (Mac OS and Windows)?
    A - Photoshop Lightroom does not have the ability to print to file, but some print drivers can access the ability of the operating system to print to file. See
    TechNote for further information.

    If you use print to file then you get a file that is meant to be send to a printer and that file has all kind of formatting code for that specific printer.
    Opening such a file in Firefox or a text editor can only work if you use a text only printer to print the file to, so make sure that such a printer is installed and selected.

  • How do i hide the "print as image"  option in the menu ?

    I need to hide the "print as image" option in the menu for some users.
    what would be the best way to do it ?
    (the result should be that the users do not see the print as image option when they want to print something

    Hello there, you can start with this
    Check Firefox page settings
    If a web page prints incorrectly in Firefox:
    At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button, go over to the Print... menu (on Windows XP, click on the File menu) and select Print Preview. The print preview window will appear.
    In the print preview window, make sure Scale is set to Shrink To Fit.
    Make sure the Portrait orientation is set.
    Click Page Setup.... The Page Setup window will appear.
    In the Page Setup window, click the Margins & Header/Footer tab.
    In the Margins section, make sure the page margins are set correctly (the default setting is 12.7 mm, or 0.5 in).
    Click OK to close the Page Setup window and return to the Print Preview window.
    Back in the Print Preview window, click Print. The Print window will appear.
    Make sure the correct printer is shown in the Name field.
    Make sure the Print to file setting is not selected.
    If you made changes, go ahead and attempt to print the page again. If not, follow the instructions below.
