Slow opening print dialog screen in Windows 8.1

I have Adobe Reader 11.0.5 and am using Windows 8.1. When I click on the print icon, it takes 20 to 30 seconds for the print dialog screen to open. This is maddening. Does anyone know why and how to speed it up?

ID CS5 (7.0.4) painfully slow opening print dialog box

I've been having this issue for quite some time and finally getting around to finding out what's going on.
I counted 38 seconds between the time I hit Control-P, and the time the print dialog box opens up. ID looks like it has hung up until it finally opens the print dialog box.
Edit: meant to say that my documents are all very simple text-based pages with a simple letterhead graphic file embedded, 5-6 pages usually.
Any suggestions on how to fix this, such a lot of wasted time waiting.
Thanks!

ID CS5 7.0.4

That would be MY first step. It takes no real time and will eliminate it as a possibility. Next thing I would do is trash prefs: see Replace Your Preferences
If neither of those works, I'm not sure what I would do next... Perhaps have a look at what else is running that could be slowing things down.

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.

CR 2008 SP2 - Slow to open Print Dialog or Page Setup Dialog (And SP3+)

When I am designing my report in CR 2008 SP2 and select either Page Setup or Print from the File menu, Crystal Reports stops responding for about 5 minutes and then the dialog box will open. I created a blank report and did not add anything to it and this continues to happen. The program operates at normal speed otherwise. It is quick to startup and load reports. Any ideas on why this is so slow?
Update: I have also tried checking the box in page setup that says No Printer but the problem persists.
Update 2: I have updated from SP2 -> SP3 -> FP 3.1 -> FP 3.2 -> FP 3.3, and after each upgrade I tried both Print and Page Setup and it continued to exhibit the same slowness as in SP2.
Thanks,
Paul

Hi Ashwini,
I just completed updating my OS and I am still experiencing the behavior. I have applied every update available through Windows Update. I just reformatted my computer two days ago so this is a pretty fresh install.
This problem existed before my reformat as well however. A few months ago, Crystal did not have this slow issue when opening either Print or Page Setup dialogs. About a month ago these two dialog boxes just became very slow. I hoped reformatting would get rid of this issue but it persists. I also experience this slowness on a different computer that I am using.
One idea I just tried is to shutdown the Print Spooler service in Windows. The print dialog won't open at all but it does quickly tell me Warning: No Printer is installed on this system. The Page Setup dialog on the other hand opens immediately, however, the Printer Options group box is totally greyed out. This "fix" is of course no good to me since I cannot print, but perhaps it narrows down the issue to something regarding printing and/or printers?

Open Printer dialog window

Can I open the Windows Printer dialog window in Forms during runtime and then send the printer name that the user selected to Oracle Reports?

Here is the code for showing the WINDOWS PRINTER DIALOG BOX. REMEMBER YOU HAVE TO ATTACH D2KWUTIL.PLL file for this to work.
declare
v_printer_name varchar2(1000) := null;
v_port varchar2(1000);
v_exception boolean;
begin
win_api_dialog.select_printer(v_printer_name,v_port,v_exception);
wmessage('Printer is '| |v_printer_name);
:b_selection.local_printer := v_printer_name;
exception
when others
then
:b_selection.local_printer := null;
end;
null

Painfully slow open/save dialog windows

Before anyone asks, no I don't have a .Mac account and I'm not using iDisk.
So it's not that
Basically, regardless of the app. whenever I select a file in the open file dialog window, I just get a spinning beach ball for about a minute or more. It's driving me crazy. I have repaired permissions, I have repaired the disk, and I have run DiskWarrior over the drive too. No change.
If anyone mentions a reinstall, I'll kill them. I have a 142 applications in my app's folder I don't want to reinstall them all - I just want to get my work done. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KDEmod very long time to open print dialog

Then I want to print something from a KDE application it takes a few minutes for the print dialog to open while I can't use the application I want to from because the window is blocked.
I have set cups of from systemsettings and the printer is a Dell 2135cn (network printer) using the dell 3100cn driver.
The print dialog come up almost at once in firefox (shiretoko) but the printed fonts is very ugly, which they are not from KDE applications.
Any idea how to fix this?

Since updating a day ago, Firefox will not open on full screen on Windows 7

Accessing from taskbar on Windows 7 shows its open but will not open on full screen. And its also affected my Quicken program, doing the same thing. I uninstalled and reinstalled, still same problems. Did the updates affect my computer? And adobe was updated at the same time. I spent two hours w/ Quicken support, problem still exists. The only change that was made to the computer was the Mozilla update.

Right-click on the shortcut used to open Firefox and select Properties. If you get a Windows Jump list when you right click, right-click on the Firefox entry in the jump list and select properties.
In the Shortcut tab of the properties dialog box, set the Run option to Maximized, then click OK to save the settings.
You can do this for any program.

Open Print Dialog using JavaScript

Hi folks, I'm trying to open dynamically the print dialog window for printing the PDF (Ctrl + P) in WebDynpro ABAP using JavaScript.
The JavaScript seems to be executed only for Interactive Forms, however I don't need to use interactive but only Print-Based Forms.
This line of code works if I assign it to an event like click for a button, I tried to call it in the doc:ready event but it does not work
xfa.host.print(1, "0", "0", 0, 1, 0, 0, 0);
Please I need some help and I hope it's possible!
Alex

Thanks, we are getting close!
This line of code works, but it does not prompt me with the print dialog box (because of the first parameter is 0)
xfa.host.print(0,"0","0", 0, 1, 0, 0, 1);
I got this message box "This document is trying to print. Do you want to allow this?" Yes/No....
Ok, that works but I would like to have the standard print dialog window instead, where you could select your printers.
This line of code prompt me to save the XDP, this is not what I want
xfa.host.exportData("",1);
In which event should I place the script??
Also, script only seems to be executed for interactive forms, I don't want to generate interactive forms, they are more heavy to render, this is only for print based forms!
thanks
Alexandre Giguere

Adobe Reader XI - print dialog box blank - Windows 8

One reason that the Acrobat/Reader dialogs will not display correctly is when the needed system fonts have been removed or uninstalled.
Or it may be that the default font is changed.
Try to reinstalled the Segoe font family and check if it corrects the issue.
Also You can follow the below steps for restoring the default font and removing any font changes you’ve made. After the restore, check if the issue is resolved or not?
1. Open Fonts by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, and then clicking Fonts.
2. In the left pane, click Font settings.
3. Click Restore default font settings.
You can also check the corrupted fonts by running Microsoft’s Font Validator from http://www.microsoft.com/typography/FontValidator.mspx

Error when opening print dialog

I am on a MAC using photoshop CS5 version 12.0.6. I specified an unsupported custom size for a printer and it now causes an error when I attempt to open the print dialog by choosing "Print" from the file menu. If I select "Print One Copy", the document attempts to print but generates error. Since I can't get to the print dialog, I can't change the print setting. Is there a file or way to change the print setting by some other means?

There's no such thing. The latest version of Photoshop for the Mac is 12.0.2.
What routine trouble-shooting steps have you taken so far?

Opening print dialog box with "Selection" printing enabled

Hi all,
I have a JTable in which I wan to print only selected rows. When I open the Print dialog box using printDialog() method of PrinterJob, the dialog opens with "Selection" option disabled.
How can I enable this option ?
How can I print my selection using the standard Print Dialog ?

This I know.
Let me refrase my question:
I have a table with selected cells (Rows Cols
whatever ...) I wish to open the print dialog box
with Selection radio button enabled, such that when I
will check it and click print, the selected table
cell get printed.This I had understood.
Let me refrase my reply:
If you simply print a new table containing the selected data
then you don't need to have the Selection radio button enabled
in the print dialog box.

Firefox 27.0 fails to open print dialog

I have firefox set to automatically update. All of a sudden, perhaps after the most recent update, I cannot print anything. If I try to print, I just get an windows error sound and nothing more. I do not get the print dialog.
I have tried to reset the printer configuration, and I have tried reinstalling Firefox all together. Neither sovled the problem.
Please advice.
Thank you.

I was scratching my head for a day trying to figure out why suddenly I cannot print or initiate any dialog in Firefox. Avast was the culprit. I uninstalled it and now everything is working again. Installed Bitdefender for now :)

Using the print dialog box of Windows

Hallo,
how can I use the Windows printing dialog box for selecting a printer ?
(I use LabWindows 5.0.1)
Regards HGalle

Our printing functions (PrintCtrl, PrintPanel, etc.) will bring up the print dialog if you select to show it in the function call. If you weren't using our print function, you can bring up the Windows print dialog box with the Windows SDK function PrintDlg. Consult SDK documentation for help with this function.

Opening print dialog automatically

I'd like to put a pdf on my website, and when the user clicks a link,

Something like this:
