Returning to Print dialog from Print preview?

If, after selecting Print preview from the Print dialog, I want to go back and change something in the Print dialog like Layout, is it possible to return to the Print dialog? What I've been doing is quitting the Preview and then going back to what I wanted to print and selecting Print again, which seems inefficient.

Hi Christopher,
Unfortunately it's not possible. This is one of the limitations of the preview function of OSX printing. Perhaps this will be addressed in Leopard. It's pretty frustrating, I totally agree.

Running Mavericks OS on MacBookPro...had some hard crashes past 24 hours...forced reboots....now can't print anything from Office or Firefox. Both crash during print dialog - changing printer causes instand crash. My system printed fine before the crashes yesterday. I can print from the Stickies app and safari printed fine. I did a full Shutdown/restart and that didn't work. Ideas on how to get PPT files to print again or print from firefox??

Cannot print correctly from either Preview or Adobe Professional.

Documents either do not print or print highly enlarged and in landscape mode. The same documents print perfectly from other macs. I have deleted my printers and recreated them and nothing changed. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Adobe Professional is third party so you might seek help in the Adobe support forums:

Is it possible to prevent the Print Dialog from waking printer?

Hi all,
Although I have a printer attached to my iMac, most of the time I just use the Print Dialog to 'Save as PDF' rather than to actually print. However, as soon as I hit cmd-P the printer is woken up, even though I never use it. Is there an option somewhere that will tell OSX to only wake the printer if I actually send the document to the printer?
thanks,

Hi there,
I think you could create a dummy IP printer, using Generic Postscript for the driver, and set it as your default printer. Then when you print to pdf from your app, having this dummy printer selected may stop the USB physical printer from waking.
To create the dummy, open Print & Fax and click + to add. Select IP and LPD for the protocol. Enter an IP address of 10.0.1.50, leave the queue name blank, change the Name to Dummy and select Generic Postscript in the Print Using menu. Click Add to complete the queue creation.
Now set this printer as the default and try printing. Hopefully this stops the real printer from waking.
One last note. Just remember to change the printer in the Print dialog when you do need to print on paper.

hi friends
I need to print *.PRN file from java code.*
I need to print directely without open printer dialog box when i select .PRN file then it should able to direct print to default printer.
Here is the Dos command to directely print the PRN file
COPY C:\\PrintFile.prn /B \\java103\\HPLaserJ
(source: http://filext.com/faq/print_from_prn_file.php)
i try to run that dos command through Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("COPY C:\\PrintFile.prn /B \\java103\\HPLaserJ");
But is show that
Here is the LOG of ERROR

               e.printStackTrace();

you need to specify which program you want to execute in Runtime.getRuntime().exec(). So try this one
try {
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd.exe COPY C:\\PrintFile.prn /B \\java103\\HPLaserJ");
System.out.println(p);
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();

How to open print dialog from web dynpro abap application

Hi experts,
I have a web dynpro application with several views and onone of the view there is a button that should open print dialog with printers list and all other options (standard print dialog we see in windows). I did reserach on SDN and came to now that this is a limitation of web dynpro abap. I did find some code also but unfortunately our current version of ABAP(7.0) do not support the code I found. I am not able to find any proper solution for this. Could someone please let me know how I can open a print dialog by clicking on a button in web dynpro abap? Any sample code or any information would be greatky appreciated.
Thanks.

Reader x 10.1.3 doesn't show print dialog when printing, for some users on Terminal Server

We are running Windows Server 2003 with Terminal Services for approximately 10 remote users.
A few days ago, some users started to complain about not being able to print pdf documents to their printer. I discovered that the print dialog box doesn't open, so they can't even select another printer.
If reader is set to open in browser, it just crashes the browser, if it set to open in Reader itself, it does nothing, no dialog,
I've tried removing the printer and reinstalling. Since it works from the console without issues, I thought it may be permissions related, so I added users to administrators group, with no success.
They can print from Outlook, Word, etc....just not pdfs.
Can anyone help?

Is there a quick way in the print dialog to print at 50% opacity?

I want to save toner by printing a very black document at 50% opacity. Is there a quick way to do this in the print dialog box?
Dual 1Ghz Power PC G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

It would depend on your printer driver. The availability and location of that setting is something that varies from printer to printer. For instance at school, printing on HP LaserPrinters it is an option under Image Quality with 3 choices (Default, SaveToner, Best Quality). At home, printing on a Canon bubblejet, it is a slider for intensity. On a previous HP inkjet, it was a slider for darkness.
Once you find it (if your driver has the option) you can save the setting by clicking the Presets button.

Print Jobs not clearing "Deleting - Printed" message from Print Queue

The jobs print fine but the message Deleting - Printed doesn't clear from the print queue.
The two printers having the issue are HP Color LaserJet 3550s using the External HP JetDirect en3700 (J7942A-61033).
Our Print Server is an HP BL25P running MS Server 2003 Enterprise Edition / SP2. This issue started about two weeks ago only on these printers. I downloaded the newest drive (dated 2007 version 61.63.461.41).
I have deleted and recreated the printers on the Print server and installed the new driver. Still having the same issue. To clear the Print Queue we have to restart the Print Spooler Service on the Print Server.- this causes the "Deleting - Printed" jobs to print again which could be days / weeks after they were originally printed.
We don't want to keep having to restart the Print Spooler.
Any one having a similar issue and know off a fix. I have tried everything I have so far found on the Web.
Thank you.
Mike

Hello @shumaung , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are experiencing print speed issues. I would like to help!
I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
I would also suggest running your Apple updates: OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
After the updates, I would recommend reinstalling the
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

How to print report from print server ?

Hi all,
I need to print the report where the printer are shared by group of people which is located at server. I have put in the path in DESNAME = \\192.168.1.239\plc6 where \\{my printer ip address}\{printer name}
however, when I run the report, in the report viewer the printer name is still defaulted as what I have defaulted printer in my printer setup whereas the printer that I specific in the report which is located at server was not selected and again the report was printed out based on what my PC has been defaulted. My question it's anything wrong with my path ? why the report was not printed out based on the printer on the desname ?
Please advise. Thanks.

You can use FOP, but the formatting of the xsl (Xml Style Sheets) takes a little work. If you have the Oracle Reports server up and access to the development product, why not go that route?
You want the filtering and sorting and searching, yes, but then you also want to print them out.. Then you would probably be best looking at replacing the Oracle Reports setup with BI Publisher. You can convert Most your reports over to bi publisher layouts easily.. (I have heard of some reports that do require recreating in Bi Publisher from Oracle Reports..)
Then you can have your Apex Reports and call Bi Publisher from APEX and everyone wins..
Is your Oracle Reports stuff used by non-APEX applications, that could be modified to use Bi Publisher?
Thank you,

Printing: Why are most paper types disabled in HP printer dialog from Photoshop?

Hi all.
I'm trying to create a printer profile with a GretagMacbeth EyeOne. I've found that from the EyeOne software or from Preview, all paper types are enabled in the Print configuration dialog for my HP C5100-series printer. When trying to print the test chart from Photoshop CS3 (which is necessary, because EyeOne offers no provision for printing on 4x6 photo paper), most paper types (even HP-brand ones) are disabled. It doesn't matter what paper size or source tray I choose.
For example, under the "photo paper" category, only the asterisked ones below are enabled:
*HP Premium Plus photo papers
HP Premium photo papers
*HP Advanced photo paper
HP Photo paper
HP Everyday Photo Paper, semi-gloss
HP Everyday Photo Paper, matte
other photo papers
Anyone know why papers would be disabled under Photoshop?
Thanks.

Just read this and thread 1889763 on the subject of greyed out paper types but only after two days of faffing around. I am on Snow Leopard and have just replaced a printer with an HP CC335 (also known as a C309a). Same problem. I get a full range of papers in Pages application but in Photshop there are only a couple of inkjet and photo papers and all the other media types and sub menus are greyed. I did not initally install any drivers from HP or the printer's CD as I had read the HP warning at:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01846935&cc=uk&lc=en&dlc=en&product=3 737195
A short time after setting up the printer there was a driver update to 2.3 which happned through the Apple software update although I still see v 2.2.1 when I loook in 'about this mac.' Someone on Apple's forum noted that HP had released 2.3 drivers so I downloaed and installed them from HP yesterday. I still only see v2.2.1 and of course none of this has cured the problem.
AS the printer is only a couple of weeks old I will retrun it unless there is a solution. Is there one? Anyone recommend a good all-in-one (plus fax?) that will function properly with photoshop?

Print invoice from print server (printer is installed at the server)

Hello all
i have a LAN with 2 domain controllers (1 win2008 std and 1 win2008 R2 std).
My 2008 std is also a print server. ALl my printers are installed locally and through GPO i distribute them at all computers.
I want to know how can i set up my matrix EPSON 890 printer with the same logic.
I want to install it locally to the server, install a small printer server with the IP address 192.168.1.205 at the network and through GPO to distribute it to the computers which i want to print invoices.
i managed to install the server locally and i do the following settings at SAP but wihtou success:
1) t-code SPAD -> ACCESS METHOD -> S: PRINT USING SAP PROTOCOL
host printer :
192.168.1.205\invoice
Destination host: 192.168.1.205
but every time i give something to print i get an error.
Anybody know how i can resolve this?
now i have the EPSON 890 installed locally to a computer with USB and from there it is shared and all the users pritn there but that means i need to have the computer open all time
thx

Hello,
I'm sorry you have come across this, we have seen this before, it seems to be an issue with an installation of OS and/or other software that conflicts with the Xilinx compile server installation. This problem does not seem to be related to NI software, but that Xilinx compile server is conflicting with the software on some computers
What you want check is that compiler path and the root build directory are set to \NIFPGA86\Xilinx and \NIFPGA86\srvrTmp respectively.
Next we can try to compile your VI remotely, I've attached a link below on how to do this. If you can compile remotely, then we know that issue is not due to your code and is now down to the Xilinx compiler.
Using the LabVIEW FPGA Compile Server (FPGA Module)
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371599C-01/lvfpgaconcepts/compiling_fpga_vis/
At this point, we can just remove and reinstall LabVIEW, LabVIEW FPGA module, the Xilinx compile server and reinstall NI RIO or try in on another computer.
Hope this helps,
