Stopping printer icon from appearing in the dock

Hi,
We have a problem where our students (network homes, managed by WGM) are clicking on the printer icon in the dock once they have sent a job to print, and are pressing the 'Stop Jobs' icon, thus holding up the queue for other students to print.
Is there a way to stop the icon appearing in the dock?
Thanks,
Jonathan

Are you using
a dedicated print server ?
a print server as part of the server OS ?
or simple printer sharing, maybe Apple Printer Sharing, or Bonjour, or CUPS or another ?
Simple Printer Sharing, or a network printer without dedicated print server software is always going to allow users to stop printing, even if it holds up others.
Even with dedicated print server, you may want to allow users to stop prints - holding up the printer - if they need to change paper, ie. pre-printed stationery, acetate or different paper weights instead of blank 80g/sq m paper.
But a dedicated print server may allow you to restrict job access to only deleting the print job.

  • How do I stop Java processes from appearing on the dock?

    I have a Java application that has a fairly extensive build process using ant. It builds fine on OSX, but constantly annoys me. There are a large number of unit tests that run using JUnit, and each test starts in a new Java process. The problem is that when each process starts (and there are about 100 during the course of the build), a new Java icon appears on the dock and stays until the process finishes. First of all, that slows down the build (since it has to do all that graphics work to keep changing the appearance of the dock). Secondly, every time a new process starts, it takes away the keyboard focus from whatever I'm currently working on. I either have to click in the window I want again, or else wait for the process to finish.
    On Windows, this is handled with an alternative version of the JVM called "javaw.exe" that does not get a foreground window. However, I see no "javaw" in the Java directory on OSX. Is there some option to start Java with that will stop this dock updating? Note that there are times when I want the dock to be updated (when I'm running a "normal" Java app).

  • HT203421 I have recently purchased some apps from the app store and after downloading them, the icon that appears in the dock changes to a different icon. It is now the same icon appearing on all newly downloaded apps.  Does anyone know what is happening

    I have recently purchased some apps from the app store and after downloading them, the icon that appears in the dock changes to a different icon. It is now the same icon appearing on all newly downloaded apps.  Does anyone know what is happening here? Even updating an older game app resulted in the original game icon changing to the new identical icon that all new apps are appearing with.  This new icon is like a page with a ruler, pencil and paintbrush. Any tips on how to stop this or how to revert to the icon as it appears on the app store would be appreciated.

    I've made good progress, and next need to modify the "Eject CD" icon that appears in the dock when ejecting a CD or hard disk. Does anyone know the folder location of the icon the Dock uses? I couldn't find it in the Dock's resources folder like the "trashempty.png" and "trashfull.png" files.

    OK folks...thanks to Bee (thank you!) I can post a screen shot of the icon I'm referring to....
    Fantastic!  There it is...in all it's glory....look up in the corner, it's a bird, it's a plane...it's...??????
    Anyone who has info regarding this icon is more than welcome to share!

  • Keep applications from appearing in the dock?

    Is it possible for an application to "hide" from the dock? There are some utility apps that I'd like to run, but I don't want to see them in the dock. If it is possible to hide their icons from the dock, that sure would helpful.
    These are apps that I want to load up at startup, and I have their Hide boxes checked in my profile, but they are still showing. But I'd like to have them act like Snapz Pro does, and not even appear in the dock at all, even though it is running.

    Thanks for the reply. I also found the line of code to do the same thing that the application you submitted to me does automatically.

  • How to stop concurrent programs from appearing in the SRS window ?

    Hi All,
    We have hundreds of custom concurrent programs registered under a custom application.
    Except for 3 hidden programs (which will be submitted internally from another concurrent program), all the others should appear in the SRS window. Therefore, instead of individually registering each program in the request group, we have registered the application itself, in the request group.
    However by doing this, the 3 hidden concurrent programs are also appearing in the SRS window. The concurrent program define form doesn’t allow us to uncheck the “show in SRS” checkbox if we have parameters define for a concurrent program.
    Is there any way that we can prevent these hidden programs from appearing in the SRS window, in our case?

    Hi,
    Create a new request group and add all but the 3 programs, using a PL/SQL script calling fnd_program.add_to_group.
    Regards,

  • When using Pages, I can't seem to print an envelope.  I use file, then print, and see the printer icon come up in the dock showing it received the info but then quickly disappears and nothing gets printed. When I check the printer queue there is nothing

    Bear with me, I've not done this before.  I can't seem to reliably print an envelope when using Pages.  I go to "file" click "print", click "ok", see the printer icon flash in the dock with a red "1" (indicating a printing job), but then the icon disappears and nothing gets printed.  I checked the printers queue and there is nothing there.  The funny thing is, after many times hitting "print", twice I've had envelopes printed.  ???  What's the secret?

    Have you tested it from other software, such as TextEdit to establish that it is in fact Pages that is the problem?
    Step us through Print Setup... and what you select when you send it off to print.

    From the
    Brother MFC-6800 Printer's User Guide:
    How Can I load envelopes:
    You can load envelopes from the multi-purpose sheet feeder. Your appliaction software must be set up to print the envelope size you are using. This is usually done in the Page Setup or Document Setup mebnu of your software. Refer to your appliaction manual
    It also mentions an issue with paper thickness.

  • How do keep certain active items from appearing in the dock?

    I have a few things set as startup items (a backup utility, StickyNotes, a temperature monitor, etc.). I want these things to run, but I don't want them taking up space in my dock because once they're running, I never need to click on their dock icons. It just makes my dock harder to see. This is probably a simple question, but how do I keep them active but prevent them from taking up room in the dock? Thanks!
    Mike

    From what I understand, all that "Dockless" does is set 'LSUIElement' (or maybe 'NSUIElement') to "1" in the target app's "Info.plist" file. The manual way works for me for "Stickies.app" in 10.3.9, so it should work with "Dockless" as well. And it appears that the keyboard shortcuts for "Quit" or "New Note" remain active despite the absence of the application specific menubar so it might even remain functional.
    When making changes to the "Info.plist" file, it is often necessary to go through extra steps to make "Launch Services" aware of the change. As mentioned above, duplicating the app might be one method - often after duplication of the app, the changes will be found to be in effect for the new copy but not necessarily for the original. Sometimes opening up the application package, navigating through "Contents" > "MacOS" and double-clicking on the unix executable file will cause the change to take effect without duplicating the app. One method that usually works well is running 'lsregister' from the command line, but usually that is not necessary. If (and only if) the modified "Stickies.app" has replaced the original in the default location, the relevant command (entered using "/Applications" > "Utilities" > "Terminal.app") would be:<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco'; overflow:auto; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:500px">/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/ A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -f -v /Applications/Stickies.app</pre>If a copy has been modified, just substitute the appropriate path to the modified version of the app...

  • Anyone know how to get the downloads folder icon to appear in the dock?

    I accidentally dragged the downloads icon out of the dock and I can't figure out how to get it back there. Any suggestions? thanks!

    Sometimes you have to be a bit "forceful" with your drag, especially if the Dock is at the bottom--almost as if you are dragging the folder thru the Dock and off the bottom edge of the monitor.

  • OSX Mountain Lion: Running app icons do not appear in the dock

    It's almost 2-3 days that I have found when I run an application in OS X Mountain Lion, the application icon does not appear in the dock. In other words, the icons in the dock remain unchanged and no other running application icon appear in the dock. Does anyone else have the same issue?
    I appreciate your time to answer my question.

    Since you're having issues in multiple accounts I suggest you repair the HD and re-install the OS. ML makes the process pretty painless.
    Boot up holding command-r keys into your Recovery Volume.
    The screen should give you these choices...
    Restore from TM backup
    Reinstall Mac OS X
    Get help online
    Disk Utility
    First choose DIsk Utility and run Repair Disk. If you find errors run it until all errors are fixed or it reports "Disk cannot be repaired".
    Then, choose Reinstall OS X. This will be an install in place and won't affect any of your own data.

  • How to stop printer icon staying in dock everytime i print

    hi all
    basically i want to know to stop how to stop printer icon staying in dock everytime i print
    whenever i print it stays there, and doesnt disspear everytime automatically

    When you print your next document, right click or control click on the printer icon in the Dock. This will provide you with a menu of options. One of them is Auto Quit. Select it. Quit the printer queue and then print another document. The printer "app" will now quit after a successful print.
    Hope this helps.
