Removing printer icons from app switcher or at least making them useful

does anyone have the following problem and has anyone found a solution:
1. whenever i print something - and until i restart once i have printed - the icon for each printer i have used appears on the dock and in the task switcher (the cmd-tab thingy).
2. on top of that, these icons are useless since even if i select them, it does not pull up the print queue of these printers or anything remotely useful.
is this a bug or a normal behaviour? has anyone found a way to avoid these icons from appearing, or at least removing them after the printing has stopped and better, make the print queue accessible from switching from these icons?
thanks in advance.

Right click on the icon in the dock and select auto-quit. After you do that the printer driver will auto quit after each print.

  • I accidentally removed/deleted the Printer icon from my dock - how can I get it back?

    I accidentally removed/deleted the Printer icon from my dock - how can I get it back?  I've tried dragging and dropping from the Print window - no luck.  I tried to drag from the Systems folder - no luck.   IOS 10.9.4

    Well I have always had a printer icon in the Dock, launched or not launched (as in the screen shot below,) right next to the scan icon. Neither of which are launched at the present time.

  • Removing Samsung Printer Icon from Menu Bar (ML-2510)

    I installed drivers for a Samsung ML-2510 and now I've got this unsightly icon on the desktop. I thought I uninstalled the drivers and now I've still got this icon taking up valuable screen real estate.
    I checked the startup items for my sole login profile and none refer to anything remotely like this.
    What's more frustrating is that the icon is sort of ghosted out - clicking it does nothing. Command clicking does nothing. It's just annoying and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for removing.

    I was able to remove it. (Should have done a little research on the Samsung site first.)
    Stupid way to remove, but you need to use the installation program.... just to remove the icon from the desktop.
    Poorly crafted drivers make me want to scream. Why must I have their crappy icon on the menu bar?

  • Removing stocks icon from front screen

    I don't have any stocks and shares. Unfortunately. Is there any way I can remove this icon from the front screen of the iPhone? Grateful for any suggestions.

    If you do not have any stocks, etc., just leave the iCon there.
    Just don't utilize it. It is not that you need the space for another app or there is no other room on the screen for adding additional iCons if Apple so desires.

  • How do I remove padlock icon from all my files?

    On one of my drives, every single file has a little padlock icon superimposed over the file icon. I recall when I did a clean install of windows 7 RC over my Vista install, I wasn't getting write access to the drive so I had to take ownership of the drive and mess with the security settings before it started working normally.
    I have to admit, I find the security settings in all versions of NT mystifying... For instance, although my account is in the administrators group, having full access to administrators never seems to work. I always have to add my individual user account and explicitly give it full access.
    In any case, I can't remember exactly what it took, but after messing around with the security settings for a while, I eventually was able to have full access to the drive and have no problems reading/writing/deleting files and folders, but there's the padlock icon still on everything.
    Can anyone explain how to get rid of it, and/or maybe point me to a good, clear, understandable guide on how to properly set NTFS permissions.
    Thanks!

  • How to Remove the Icon from the OWL Screen

    Hi All,
    Can we remove the Icon from the OWL screen for some fields without removing the Hyperlink as in the standard for Opportunity for Account Fields as shown below:
    As in the above OWL screen, i have to remove the highlighted Icon.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi Malkit,
    You can check Icon in Thing Type like COD_Account__TT screen.
    Once you are in TT screen just go to "Controller" and select "Thing Type Data" from left side pan.
    But how to remove it I don't have any idea.

    there are many reasons not to update apps,  wow, you probably just buy anything people tell you!!  Sometimes you lose parts of an app with an update, like when shazam started limiting how many checks you could do. if you didn't update you would still be able to have unlimited downloads.  OF course eventually you will have to either update or it wont work with a new operating system roll out , but that buys you a lot of time to re-evaluate shazam and see if you really think it's all that or not.  if you would have updated your software right away like apple wanted you to last year, you would have been one of the millions that had all their info posted all over the web for every crook, hacker and thief to look over!!  I;m guessing from your reply you probably are one of the ones that was security compromised. there are just 2 reasons out of a whole list of reasons why someone might not want to  update their apps!!  If you don't have anything helpful to say when someone asks a question, your not doing them or anyone a favor just zip and move along to something you might be able to  help someone with

  • IPhone 4 print coupons from app Grocery ID directly to my HP Photosmart C6180 All-in-One BUT

    iPhone 4 print coupons from app Grocery ID directly to my HP Photosmart C6180 All-in-One BUT the iPhone cannot find the wifi printer when I try to print from email or Safari or Contacts, etc.
    Why doesn't HP list this printer in the approved list?  They have the HP Officejet  listed and many photosmart printers as well.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    No, its not that easy.  AirPrint is a "driverless" print environment and must have hardware and firmware support in the printer to be able to print.  Other apps are more of a traditional driver-based print apps and can find and print to the printer on a network without it having to support AirPrint.

  • How do I remove an icon from the dock of an iMac 10.9.5.?  Dragging doesn't work although I have tried a number of different places.  I recall right clicking used to give me a remove option.

    How do I remove an icon from the dock of an iMac Maverick, 10.9.5?  I've tried dragging different places: desktop, finder list etc.  No luck.

    Drag up towards the centre of the screen & hold for a second or so. The icon will have the 'smoke cloud' appear, let go & it will be removed.
    There should also be a 'Remove from Dock' option in the popup menu. It is in the 'Options' section . ctrl+click will 'right click' if right clicking is disabled.
    If this is not possible the Dock is locked (this may happen on a 'Managed Mac' normally setup by a company or school etc). See your tech support in this case.

  • How do you remove buttons icons from a large pdf all at once?

    How do you remove buttons icons from a large pdf all at once? I have a 1400 + pg doc that I am updating. It has icon buttons to return to the home page on each page but they were not duplicated properly and when you scroll through the doc, the buttons dance around. Now I want to redo these buttons but hate the idea of having to go to each page to delete the icon button so I can start new. Can it be done all at once?

    It's probably worth adding to try67's suggestion above that, if you're using the first option, you need to make sure the page display is continuous. (If you've got it set to view a single page only, Command+A will only select the fields on the active page.)
