What happened to my print dialogue box

I seem to have lost the option to choose what print quality I would like and if I want to print in B&W or color. Did Tiger get rid of these options? Or is it a problem with older printers? I am using an Epson Stylus Photo 820. (the driver was included in 10.4.3, so I can print...)
I have looked in my printer set up utility as well as the page set-up menus and the print menus. Maybe there is somewhere I am missing?
Sincerely,
New to Tiger

It happened only after i upgrade Firefox to version 6.0.2, previous version it worked fine.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
'''For Firefox versions previous to 29.0:'''
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]] button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
'''For Firefox 29.0 and above:'''
#Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
#At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]]. Click on it.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
Do they launch OK while in Safe Mode?

Macbook no print dialogue box

Hi. Just started new gig and installed the office printer driver (Brother MFC-9970CDW) supposedly compatible with my OS 10.4.11, which seemed to go fine. But now when I try and print a document -- any document -- the print dialogue box simply doesn't appear. I receive no other notifications. Just nothing happens. Period. Can someone suggest what I might have done wrong? I'm trying to connect to the printer via the in-house wireless network. Thank you very much.

In your original post, you said, "...It started in the middle of filling out pdf forms on my iMac in Adobe Acrobat. I completed 4 tried the 5th and had the print dialogue box appear as described."
Which version of Adobe Acrobat, i.e., v.4, 5, 6, or 7? And is it Adobe Acrobat or Acrobat Reader.
Anyway, I suggest checking your hard disk using Install Disk 1 of the Panther set.
(a) Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart your computer holding down the C key. Continue to hold down the C key until the Apple logo appears.
(b) After the Installer window appears on the desktop, click on the menu "Installer" and select "Disk Utility".
(c) When Disk Utility opens: on the left pane, select your hard disk and then on the right, click the First Aid tab followed by clicking the button "Repair Disk" (lower right).
If it reports any errors/repairs, re-run Repair Disk until it report no errors.
(d) Click on Repair Disk Permissions. Then quit Disk Utility.
(e) Restart computer.
(f) Launch Disk Utility (the one on your hard disk) and Repair Disk Permissions again.
Post back to let us know what happens.

Problem with inconsistent print dialogue box/Aperture and Elements?

I just purchased an Epson r1900. In Aperture everything is great! I can pull up icc profiles and the new print dialogue box features all the epson papers (glossy, Matte, Art, CD) in menus with submenus. But in Photoshop Elements 6, I get an old dialogue box which only shows the old Epson papers-Photo. Photo glossy, matte. There is no way, for instance, to choose Velvet art-and that is what I am using. It is driving me nuts. I have thrown out preferences, updated drivers, updated applications, fixed permissions...you name it. same thing in Apple Pages. Why am I not seeing the same dialogue box? Is this not OS controlled? The R1900 is always chosen. ( I do have an older printer as well, but definitely not selected.
any guidance appreciated!
thanks
Nancie

I have the same problem since I installed Snow Leopard. I have upgraded to the newest canon driver for my Canon Pixma IP5200 printer. Calibrating seems to no longer have a reliable impact on my prints. Also Aperture under SL will not save my preset information for media type, paper source or print quality in the print settings.
I am assuming this is a bug related to SL and hopefully will be addressed soon... It is very frustrating as I have waisted a lot of time ink and photo paper in the days since I have moved up to SL
When will we see a fix?

When i go into print settings in the print dialogue box it turns photoshop off

when i go into print settings in the print dialogue box it turns photoshop off

You mean it crashes, or exits?
To help you, we'll need to know a bit more information:
Which version of Photoshop? Have you installed all the updates?
Which OS version?
What printer brand and model? Have you checked for updated drivers?
What troubleshooting have you already done?

Printer dialogue box hangs when printing from Illustrator cs3

OK... I'm not sure if this is Illustrator related or mac related, but it only happens from Illustrator. In our office we have an iMac (white,flat) running Tiger (OSX 10.4.11). Whenever we try to print from Illustrator CS3 the preint goes through to the printer immediately and prints, but the actual Illustrator spooling bar/printer dialogue box remains. The only way is to wait for about half an hour for the bar to finish or force quit the application and restart (even though it does not show as "not responding" in the Force Quit window.
Now I've tried reinstalling Illustrator. I've run disk warrior. Tried the fsck command on startup. our technical outsources tell us it might be a memory problem, but I'm not tsure as this only happens in Illustrator and no other programs.... any ideas?

I can vouch for the dock hiding solution solving the problem. It worked on three Intel Macs we were having problems with. Here are some links to articles about it:

"Color Matching" option in print dialogue box...

Hello,
I've upgraded to 10.5 (printing from latest Adobe CS3 Photoshop and InDesign) to an Epson R2400 (with the latest 10.5 drivers from Epson). I let Photoshop/InDesign handle color management (rather than the printer).
Once I hit "print" from the application I'm sent to the OS X print dialogue box. From here I select my Epson settings as I always have (including turning off Epson Color Management) but now, within 10.5, there's a new OS X specific printing option listed as "Color Matching". When I select this I'm giving the options for "ColorSync" (from which I can then choose "automatic" or choose a specific printing profile — though, when I try to select one, I always get a warning saying I'll get undesirable results, and it only goes away when I select "automatic") or "Epson Color Management" (or something like that).
I do not have an option to turn these "off", I have to select one or the other.
Now, what exactly is going on here?
Which do I want to select?
I assume I would leave it to "ColorSync" since I know I don't want the printer to manage the color, but I'm just confused as to what these settings do since I'm supposed to be managing the color via Photoshop.
Can anyone shed some light onto this new option under 10.5?
Thanks!
Kristin.

Yes, very strange. If you see a few posts up I actually did get it to work the way I need it to. I called Epson and they had ne reset the printer settings through the system preferences. On my first try this did NOT work, however everything worked as it should in Preview (another image program) and since it did work there the Epson tech basically siad then it's not their problem - most likely adobe.
However just for the hell of it after I hung up, I tried resetting the printer settings again and sure enough it worked. I was able to change the color settings while using Photoshop to manage colors - namely I needed to print a B&W through the Advanced B&W setting. When they are grayed out I can't do this. But even while doing color I don't like that it's grayed out. I've been printing both color and B&W for the last 5-7 years with photosjop manageing colors. I know about double profiling and how to avoid it.
If this was by design from adobe, it deosn't make sense that I was able to access it a few weeks ago after resetting the printer settings. And if this was the case when did Adobe supposedly make the change?
I don't know what's different now, the only thing I can figure is that I had this issue sometime after I installed the lastest Epson print driver - hence the call to Epson... Maybe it's snow leopard weirdness, but I had snow leopard on my laptop and was always able to print sucessfully, but have not tried it since I got the new Mac Pro.
And the strange thing it works fine on other programs. I can have photoshop manage colors and they are not grayed out. Strange and frustrating. Time to set up the DR.
I guess I shoud uninstall PS and then try re-installing it.
thanks...

Kill a print dialogue box

Hello !
I have specific scenario here. My Application developer has created an online app wherein, there is link called "Print" , when clicked, opens a new tab with the to-be-printed matter BUT ALSO WITH A PRINT TAB. Now I dont what this PRINT DIALOGUE BOX but just the print tab.
The Developer isn't ready to modify his script. Is there a add-on, or a modification somewhere where in I can Kill this Print Dialogue box ?
Currently If I close the print dialogue box, it goes away, also the newly opened tab goes away.
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for reading this.
Regards,
Mahesh

Firefox 3.0 and earlier versions had a preference '''print.use_native_print_dialog ; true''' which could be toggled to '''''false''''', but with Firefox 3.5 it was removed. When that pref was set to false the "print" command went directly to the printer, without the appearance of the dialog box.
It is possible to show a "printer-ready" window, because I see them frequently at many websites, so your developer needs to study up on how to display a "printer-ready" page and not trigger the appearance of the "native print dialog" box. Unfortunately, Firefox users no longer have control over the appearance of that dialog from within Firefox.

Why does Firefox open the printer dialogue box whenever it starts up

When Firefox opens the printer dialogue box automatically opens - why and how do I stop it doing this.
This never used to happen on previous versions of firefox

Some web pages will pop up the print dialog automatically. In particular, pages that websites have specially formatted for printing may do this.
Are you restoring tabs that you previously opened, or starting up with your home page(s)? I suspect that one of them is generating the dialog. You could check by going to each one and reloading the page to see whether it is from that page.

Quality and Media options don't appear in Print Dialogue Box

I recently upgraded my OS and now when I try to print on either my Lexmark Z65 or my Epson R300 (both USB connections), I don't see the "Quality & Media" option in the print dialogue box.
I need these settings to appear so I can choose Glossy Photo Paper. This is the only setting that will give me the saturated prints that I need for my projects.
I have tried:
- reinstalling the latest drivers for each printer
- deleting and then re-adding the Printers
- restarting
I've been reading that others are having similar problems when they upgraded to Tiger, but none of the posted solutions seem to work for me. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jen

Options such as Quality & Media are known as PDEs (Print Dialog Extensions) and they are added to the standard print dialog by the driver installer. For the new Intel Mac's, to get these extensions to appear (or appear without a line through them) you need to have a driver that is written in Universal Binary.
You mentioned that you have the latest drivers. Check back to the web site to see if they mention them being Universal Binary versions. If they are Universal, then the previous drivers that were PPC may be interferring with the UB version. Try opening the Printer Setup Utility, click on the title menu and select Reset Printing System. Then close the Printer Setup Utility and open Finder. Navigate to /Library/Printers/ and delete the contents of the Epson and Lexmark folders. Empty the Trash, restart the Mac and try adding the new drivers again.
If there aren't any Universal Binary versions available, then you can set most applications you are printing from to open using Rosetta. Before opening the application, find its location in the Finder view and go a Get Info on the icon. In the Info window, if there is a setting 'Open using Rosetta', then enable it and open the application. Now you should have the option.

How to choose the print dialogue box of mac in place of print dialogue box of microsoft office for mac ?

When I use my microsoft word for mac and that I want to print something, it's not the print dialogue box of my mac that open but the print dialogue box of microsoft.... How to use the defaut print dialogue box ?
Thanks

Your take shows iOS 6, but I'm assuming you're talking about OS X since this is the Lion forum.
MS Word does show a somewhat different layout of the print dialogue, but all of the same options are there under the pulldown menu (where it starts at "Copies & Pages").

Print dialogue box is whacked. Can't find a solution

I have been having this problem for some time and just working around it as best I can but this is really a problem for me. I have uninstalled-restarted the computer and reinstalled Reader 11.0.06 from adobe.com and still not fixing the problem.
When I open a pdf and click on print, the print dialogue box is unreadable. I am trying to include a screen shot of the problem. When I print other type of documents I don't have this issue. ONLY PDF's. And as seen in the attachments below some PDF's print box opens up differently than other PDF's. Very weird and frustrating. Any ideas? Thanks
