Selecting Paper Type for HP Photosmart 8750 In Lightroom 3.3

Since converting to Lightroom v. 3.3 I am unable to select the paper types on which I wish to print from my HP Photosmart 8750 printer. In the printer dialog box, the following option is grayed out: "Photosmart PDE." I also get the following message: "The bundle 'HP Photosmart PDE' could not be loaded because it does not contain a version for the current architecture." It then tells me to contact the bundle's creator for the latest version and then lists the following: HP Photosmart PDE v. 5.3. I would appreciate any thoughts as to what the problem is and how it may be corrected. I have downloaded the most current printer driver and did not have this problem with Lightroom 2, so I am thinking that it must be a compatibility issue between the HP software and Lightroom 3. Thanks.

I inserted photo paper into the printer tray a the start but it printed horribly, like my old canon used to do when I accidentally stuck laser paper in instead of glossy / matte.
Other prints (like from iPhoto) print fine thru the printer.
The Print dialog in the pull down menu contains no options to look at or change the paper type.
On my pc I had a huge section of options when printing where I could select the profile, colour correction, print quality etc etc on any print. Cant seem to find the same options thru Mac.
Still puzzled?!

How to select paper type for Canon iP5000 with Leopard and Photoshop CS3.

I have printed photographs quite happily for years on my iP5000 using PS7 and 10.X. However since installing Leopard and switching to PS CS3 I am unable to select paper type (glossy, matt, etc). Is this a 10.5 problem, or as I suspect a CS3 problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I can select paper type in other applications.

I don't know if it is the same for your printer but with my Canon MP600 I experienced the same problem until I came across the fact that when Print is clicked there is a Blue Triangle on the right of the dialogue. Click this and the paper type etc is displayed.

How do you select paper type in Photoshop Elements 10?

Sorry to be a total technotard, but in the olden days, I could select paper type (e.g. glossy photo) from the print menu when printing from Photoshop. I now have a new iMac & Photoshop Elements 10, and there is no way to select paper type, at least not that I can find. Is this an Adobe Elements thing? Cuz I can't figure out how to do it, and it's driving me nuts!!!!!! Thanks in advance for any help.

If you are working in Full Edit you need to have an image open in the main window. Then Click:
File à Print
After selecting your print size and paper size, hit the Print button.
When the system print dialog opens use the Quality & Media and other dropdown menus.

I'd like to be able contol image quality as well. Thanks in advance for any help... I'm wading around in all these forums trying to find a simple answer and am having no luck...

"hp website says the driver is built-in to the new macs, and I don't need to d/l a new one"
First of all, this is a crock. And a very tiresome one, as it's been used as an excuse not to post drivers for download.
The driver is not "built into" a Mac. There may be some version of it installed IF you happened to install hundreds upon hundreds of gigabytes of printer drivers (the vast majority of which are obsolete and brands you've never nor will ever own) when you installed the OS. This view is just so idiotic, as you won't have installed every HP driver ever made if you didn't own an HP printer or plan to hook it up to that computer.
Apple compounds the problem by not giving you any way to pick and install a printer driver. Seriously, in 2009. And this in addition to the Mac's inability to detect a new printer after you plug it in, and ask if you want to install a driver. People tolerate that while making fun of Windows, which has been detecting new hardware and prompting for drivers since what, 1995?
Anyway, I believe it was HP who complained that they "didn't have room on their servers" to offer drivers for download. Unfrigginbelievable.
Nobody who pays any attention to their printing should even consider an HP printer. That's how incompetent their drivers are, for both platforms.
Sad.

Can't select paper type or output quality when printing from new imac....

Not sure if I'm in the right place to post this question....
When I try to print (from ANY app; Photoshop, InDesign, etc.) to my hp business jet inkjet printer, I get a print menu, but no where on the print menu (or any pulldown tabs) do I have an opportunity to select paper type or output quality. I am unable to print photos, for example.
The printer worked fine with the old PC; there is no driver to d/l for mac.
Only from iPhoto can I select paper type (from a limited number of choices), but not from any other app on my imac. I mostly use InDesign and print flyers and brochures, many with photos, and can't select anything other than plain paper. Do I need a new printer? Genius bar 'help' said they had no idea why it wasn't working....
HELP!!!
Thanks!

Hi Duane,
Yes, I opened the Printer Driver package, and then pulled up my test InDesign file and selected File>Print, and here's the screen i get: (hope this works, I'm trying Skitch for the first time)...

when I click on "Setup" in the print menu box, I get this screen:

I've clicked on each topic on the left on the Print menu, and still there is no where to select paper type or output resolution.
The same thing happens when I print from Photoshop.
Thanks.

Trouble changing paper type for printing

I downloaded Photoshop Elements 11 to a new computer (with much more memory and speed that old computer) but now Photoshop does not work as well. When I try to change the paper type for printing, the setting is stuck at "plain paper" and there are no other options available. Any ideas on how I can fix this problem?

It sounds like a printer driver issue, not a PS issue. Can you update your printer driver on the new computer?

Can't select paper types

(Mac OSX 10.5.2, LR 1.3.1) Going crazy trying to figure this out. Somewhere around the time HP updated drivers for the Photosmart Pro B8350, I lost the ability to select anything but one paper type. As a result, none of my prints are coming out properly whereas they were perfect before. I've totally removed both the HP software and Lightroom, and started all over again. Bottom line is that only one paper type will show up in Lightroom when I select managed by application.
When I click the profile drop-down menu from the main Print module, I'm presented with two choices: Premium Plus photo (tricolor+grey) and Premium Paper (tricolor+grey). I used to be able to select from a bunch of options. OK, so I use the third menu option, which is Other and gives me a list of profiles to appear in the custom profile popup. I see Advanced Photo Glossy, and check it.
Now I can select it, but when I hit Print... and the printing dialog comes up and I double-check Paper Type/Quality, the only thing that shows is "Premium Plus Photo Paper" and all of the other options, including Advanced, are greyed-out.
I do see that there seems to be some confusion/changes or something related to where printing components are installed. I see that in ~/user/library/colorsync/profiles, things from my previous color printer. The HP stuff all installed in /Library/Printers/hp/Profiles/Photosmart and /Library/Printers/hp/Profiles/business-inkjet
Now that I look at it, the only profiles that sort match my printer name (HP PSPro B8300) are in the business-inkjet folder - NOT the photosmart folder. That doesn't seem right; this isn't a business inkjet printer, it's a photo printer.
I put some screenshots here: http://web.mac.com/vincentdistefano/HP-Lightroom/printing_problems.html
Is this a Lightroom problem? An HP problem? Mac? Very frustrating, as this used to work flawlessly. In fact my print dialogs still have all the nice presets I had set up before, but of course none of them work now.
Any help greatly, greatly appreciated.

Hi John, Thanks for the tip. I will try that next. Below is a crash log. I printed to the 2200 from Photoshop, then in the print dialog tried to go to "color management" to turn color management off (I am getting magenta prints due to double profiling).

Cannot Select Paper Type in Photoshop 10

New Imac, new HP C5280, new copy of Photoshop 10 for Mac. No paper type is offered in print options, (matte, glossy, etc) in Photoshop. Hooked up my older Epson RX620, exactly the same problem, but both work in Win XP ok in Photoshop CS3. Being bounced around by tech help by HP, Adobe and Mac. All latest drivers downloaded and installed as per Tech help line instructions. No change. Anyone help?

so I've been pulling my hair out for 2 days & nights now trying to figure out why I couldnt print on custom paper sizes - I've just now hit the "help" icon in the print dialog box (so simple I didnt ever think to read through the steps set out!) and found this:
"Creating a custom page size
If you want to print on unusual size paper, such as an odd-size envelope or card, you may be able choose the paper’s size from the Paper Size pop-up menu. To find the Paper Size pop-up menu, choose File > Page Setup, if available. Otherwise, choose File > Print.
If you can’t find the size you need, you can create your own custom paper size.
To create a custom page size:
Open the document you want to print.
Choose File > Page Setup, if it’s available. Choose Page Attributes from the Settings pop-up menu, and then choose Any Printer from the Format For pop-up menu.
Choosing Any Printer ensures that your document can print on any printer that supports the paper size you select.
If Page Setup is not available, choose File > Print.
If the Print dialog contains only two pop-up menus and some buttons across the bottom, click the disclosure triangle beside the Printer pop-up menu.
Choose Manage Custom Sizes from the Paper Size pop-up menu.
Click the Add button.
Type a name for the paper size.
Enter values in the Paper Size and Printer Margins field."
All I had to change was the "any printer" setting from my (konica minolta) printers name to "Any Printer"!! now my custom paper sizes are printing fine and dandy!! phew!!!!!!!!
I know this isn't the exact prob you're having, but try the help in the print driver and follow the steps set out - it worked for me!

Adobe apps crash when selecting paper type in print driver

I installed the CS5 design premium suite and it worked fine ... did not crash when I selected the different paper types in the xerox driver. Then today the updater ran and did updates for all the programs, and now I can't select the paper type.
Running osx 10.6.4 and the printer is a Xerox 7665

Don't worry, solved it. Tested the printer using my powerbook G4 running 10.4.8. It worked fine so I copied the HP folder from /Library/Printers from the PB to the PM G5, repaired permissions using disk utility, rebooted and the G5 can now print fine to the HP.

Selecting document type for settlement CJ88

During project or order settlement (CJ88,KO88) the document type "YP" specified in the Settlement Profile is used for the FI portion of the settlement, WBS to AUC, but the controlling entries use the default FI/CO document type. We would like all transactions in the settlement process, both FI and CO, to use the document type YP.
The controlling enties, settlement from WBS to WBS, post to FI through Real Time Integration CO-FI. If I change the document type in FAGLCOFIIMG from SA to YP then the CO settlement documents begin posting as YP as desired.
Is there a way to have Real Time CO-FI Integration select a variant by transaction type so it chooses YP for only settlement transactions? Or is there a better way to have all settlement transactions use the same document type?
Thanks,
Jeff

Go to transaction KOT2_OPA and check against the order type that you use, which settlement profile is assigned.Then go to transaction OKO7 to change the document type for that settlement profile. Document types can be created in transaction OBA7.

Can I change the default paper type for a printer?

I have a client that prints off a lot of paperwork from an insurance company. They have barcodes that go pretty much to the end of the page that are nessesary for fileing. The default print setup cuts off the barcode and a few code numbers.
If I manually change the default paper size from 8.5x11 to 8.5x11 borderless, it works! However I can't seem to get that setting to stick using profiles or the System Preferences.
The profiles change everything but the paper size. And the System Preferences have the top level sizes (8.1x11) but not the more specific borderless versions of it.
Any ideas?

Taking Firefox (or even iTunes) as example, click File>Page Setup. In the resulting window, select the paper size setting and then in Settings, choose Save as Default. In Safari it's a bit different, but there too you get an option to "save current settings as preset", whereby you can name that setting, save it and select it, to be used the next time you print.

HT204135 I have two Epson printers and one Canon printer. Why am I unable to access the same print options on my MacBook Pro as I could on mp PC i.e. select paper type and print quality?

I have just purchased a MacBook Pro as my PC has finaly died.
I have three Inkjet printers i.e. Epson Photo PX700W Epson Photo R340 and a Canon Pixma ip4600 which I connected to my Mac and the print drivers were automatically downloaded. Now when I print using any of the printers the functionality PC i.e. Choice of paper and print quality settings. Is this all I get when using the Mac OS lion or should the functionality be on a par with Windows?

Depending on the application you are printing from, you may need to press the Show Details button in the print dialog to see all of the additional driver menus.
The image below is for the extended print dialog of TextEdit and for a Canon MP990 printer. The Show Details button is on the bottom of the print dialog and will change to Hide Details when selected. And with the menu changed to Quality & Media, you have paper options and print quality settings.

Selecting bridge type for 9237 module on cRIO

How do you select 1/2 or Full bridge completion and Shunt settings for 9237 Bridge module on cRIO? The getting started example only seems to set the data rate?. The FPGA Property Node only has Data Rate, Excitation, and ID params available as choices? Am using 8.2.1. Other discussion threads talk about configuring with MAX but for cRIO/8.2.1 MAX doesn't show modules, just the remote system top level.
Thanks,
Bruce

Hi Bruce,
The Half vs Full Bridge as well as the Excitation Voltage settings live in the properties page for the NI 9237 module in the LV Project (right-click module item>>Properties). See attached image.

Choosing paper type in Photoshop Elements for mac

How do I select paper type in PS elements for Mac OS Lion 10.7?

You do this in the OS X print window that appears after you click Print in the PSE print window. You may need to expand the window by clicking the Show Details button, and then you'll see a pulldown menu in the middle of the window where you make your choices for paper, ink, etc.

Lack of print options when using photoshop elements 10 i.e. paper type

When printing from Photoshop Elements 10 on my MacBook Pro (File Print) there is no where to select paper type or print quality or there doesn't appear to be unlike when selecting print from iphoto. What have I missed? as there must be a way!

From the Print dialogue box click on the Show Details box at the bottom.
