Why does the print cue window stay open even after job is done?

In Tiger, and every other version of OSX I have any recollection of using, the printer window opens to display what's in the cue when you select to print something. Once printing is done, this cue closes. Since installing Leopard, everytime we print from our iMac, MacBook or MBP, the print cue window stays open indefinitely after the job is done, requiring a manual closing of the window. I can't for the life of me fathom what benefit this brings or who would want this. Is this part of Leopard or a problem with our install? Something I can turn off?

If you control-click (or right click) on the open printer queue in the Dock you can choose to have it auto close once the spool file is sent.
As to why this is necessary in Leopard, well I haven't seen a good enough answer to date...

  • Chat window stays open even after i log off

    When ever i log off with a chat window open...it stays open when i log back on. Is it possible to not do that, Leopard never did that???

    Hi Carolyn and Lud@,
    I must admit I would have suggested that as well.
    If the iChat 4 setting for Remembering Chats had been set there is nothing in iChat 5 to reset it.
    In Theory clearing the window and Quitting iChat should delete the item from the .plist
    Deleting the said .plist and restarting iChat would have caused iChat to recreate the .plist from Defaults and the Remember Chats Across Launch item would not be there.
    What we could do with knowing now is, does the Window have any info at the top as to who and/or what room the chat is associated with ?
    It may pay to check the File Menu of iChat to Check if this "Chat" that keeps popping up is in the Recents lists.

  • Why does the menu option change to "save as" after I select the print button?

    why does the menu option change to "save as" after I select the print button?

    >>The print command is selected in the File pull down menu, the print menu page pops up, I can then select my networked printer (which incidentally is confirmed to work with other software), the print command is in the bottom right hand corner and finally after depressing this print button a "save as" pop-up menu appears and then it only re-saves the file. Is this an issue with the pdf reader install?

  • Why does the snmpcoll process always start up even if SNMP Statistics Collection is turned off?

    Why does the snmpcoll process always start up even if SNMP
    Statistics Collection is turned off?
    <P>
    The SNMP Statistics Collection field on the Server Status|SNMP
    Subagent Configuration form affects only the SNMP subagent, which is a separate entity from
    the collector process (snmpcoll). Currently, snmpcoll does not look
    at the SNMP configuration data when it starts up. It is started by
    the dispatcher and terminates when the dispatcher terminates. Many
    of the statistics are supposed to reflect cumulative values recorded since MTA
    initialization, such as the total number of messages sent and received.
    As a convenience, the collector process collects information in the
    background even while the SNMP subagent is turned off; this way,
    the values are available when the SNMP subagent is configured and
    turned on.

    Collections fall off on the Date of First Deliquency 7-7.5 years later; that is supposed to be reported as the first time you went late (1-30 days) on the OC (original creditor) in the chain of events leading up to it's being farmed out for collection as I underestand it. DOFD though sometimes doesn't get reported right, and by default it will be the date the collection is added to the bureaus. As an example I have an awkward collection (not sure how I got it looking at the payment history thought I'd cancelled that account but TWC billing apparently didn't think so) which I went late on in 2009, but didn't get farmed out till late 2010.  The DOFD is 6/09 looking at it, and it's expected to come off according to the bureaus 6/16 as a result. Different negatives have their own rules though.

  • Why wont the contextual menu for imovie appear even after I've turned on advanced tools?

    why wont the contextual menu for imovie appear even after I've turned on advanced tools?

    Hi
    And You are doing it right
    • draging a clip ontop of other clip in Project - or -
    • ctrl-click on clip in Project
    If it's not that - then my wild Guess is that the iMovie Pref file got corrupted.
    • TEST - Easy by creating a new User Account / Log into this / re-try iMovie - if it now works then I would trash the pref. file

  • Why does the lion logo have spots on his nose?  I don't think lions EVER have spots like this.  If photoshopped, why?

    why does the lion desktop pic (a beautiful lion for sure) have spots on his nose....they never do!  This just ruins a beautiful animal face...why not just leave it alone? Looks like a bad photoshop job...done by someone who has never seen a real lion.....but why?

    I though you were joking.
    Anyway, do a quick search of "Lion" in google images
    I see spots.
    Here's the desktop photo:
    Interesting though, it looks like the spots were removed in the photo used in the App store:

  • Why does the option to watch a movie even appear if it then will not play because not downloaded? Worse, then only 23hrs left to watch!! Paying for what is not delivered!!

    ITUNES:  Why does the option to "watch movie now" appear & when chosen movie will not play because still downloading. WHY SHOULD THE OPTION APPEAR IF MOVIE CAN"T BE PLAYED. Then when movie is viewable, only 23hrs to watch! PAYING FOR MOVIES WITHOUT OPPORTUNITY TO VIEW does not make happy consumer. Emailed Itunes over and over about problem and stilll paying for services unrendered.

    When iTunes/iPod sync process failed due to timeout, the iPod, has only the initilaised  filesytem structure at the start of the Sync.
    The timeout failure could be due to
    Bad hardisk - do the iPod disk diagnostic, refer to this excellent post by tt2
    Slow USB port or resource - Dont use any USB hub, disconnect all other USB devices while syncing
    Timeout due to Antivirus or other plugins - disconnect from Internet and stop the Antivirus or monitoribng software if you are syncing.
    Preferably stop doing other things while syncing this ancient device, which the latest iTunes designer, think will soon be extinct.
    Have a nice day!

  • Why does the app (acrobat.exe) stay alive after the document is closed?

    Using system Explorer or HijackThis, it is apparent that the acrobat.exe app stays active after the document that called the app is closed.  Why?  and how do I stop it from happening?

    I have the same problem and it is irritating because if I print and save a pdf file using Acrobat, I cannot change the file name or delete the file  because the system somehow thinks the file is open in the Acrobat.exe application, even after I have closed out pdf file and all Adobe applications in my user account.   I need to go to the Task Manager and find the Acrobat application running under SYSTEM in order to stop the process so I can go back and change the file name or delete it...
    This did not occur until my recent update to Acrobat 9.4.2.220 .  Is this fixable somehow?

  • Laserjet P1006 does not print in windows 7 x64 even though the status of the printer is "printing"

    HP LaserJet P1006
    Windows 7 64-bit
    No error message
    No changes made to system, it never worked after installing Windows 7 64-bit
    - printer properly installed and recognized as ready when plugged in
    - when trying to print everything goes normal: document added in printer queue > printer status changes to printing
    - but it just stays in "printing" for a few minutes and then it acts like it successfuly printed the document, showing to error, clearing the queue and going back to ready status
    - and no page is being printed
    - the printer harware works, because on other operating systems is has no problems (tested on two other computers): with other OS it works but with windows 7 x64 it doesn't work on another computer either
    Can anyone help me with this? 

    HI,
    Look at Wifi Guy's post on 10-15-2009, titled Solved Photosmart C7280 All in One.  Worked for me.  Had been running around in circles for the last two weeks.  Hope it works for you.

  • Help! All-in-One Printer/Scanner: why does the printer work when the scanner doesn't?

    I have a Mac OS X 10.8.1, brand new.  I want to connect my Lexmark X2480 all-in-one printer and scanner to it. 
    I have downloaded both drivers from the lexmark website, printing works fine.  However, I am trying to use image capture to scan, the device is recognised but when I click "scan" image capture says "scanner not available" and the device disappears from the list until I unplug it and plug it back in again.
    On "Print and Scan" under "System Preferences" it lists the printer as Idle, however, clicking on "Open Scanner" opens the window but it is completely grey and all the buttons are in grey.
    I don't understand what is wrong (as the printer is working it's unlikely to be the cable or the hardware) I am new to Mac, is there something I am missing?
    Any help would be really appreciated!! (P.S. I have tried to restart my computer and it didn't change anything)

    Install the Image Capture scan driver here.
    If you're planning to scan using the control panel of your printer, download the scan center here.

  • Why does the Welcome to firefox tab open with my google tab every time I open the browser? And why can't the browser hold any add-ons I downloaded? I loose then when I close the browser, even tool bars have to be reinstalled every time I open the browser

    Every time I open the browser the Welcome to Firefox tab is the first tab, then a second tab opens and thats my google, then a 3rd tab opens for me to reinstall my toolbar. This has been happening for a good year. Updates have not fixed it. Others have this problem. I did a search for an answer, the question is out there but no answer. Now if I go into add ons and add a background Theme or an extension it all is gone when I exit the browser. When I open the browser again I get all 3 tabs and have to install my toolbar again. I DO NOT want to reinstall as I will loose all my saved data, passwords, bookmarks, everything! I have had this computer for a year, Windows Vista x64 bit. Its not the computer, it's the browser. If you have specific questions e-mail me and I will be more then happy to help

    See this article for some suggestions: [[Firefox has just updated tab shows each time you start Firefox]]

  • Why does the pop up window for a printable coupon only appears briefly (in the upper left corner) and then disappear, even after putting the web site into the Tools,Options,Content,Pop-Up Exceptions?

    I am at http://www.closys.com/samples_&_coupons/get_a_coupon.html and the pop up window for a printable coupon only appears briefly (in the upper left corner) and then disappears, even after putting the web site into the Tools,Options,Content,Pop-Up Exceptions.

    Thanks for your solution.

    Mha007:
    Sorry, but I have already tried this too and verified that the web addresses are listed as Allow, rather than Block. After restart there was no difference, I still get the disappearing pop-up windows.
    Thanks for offering suggestions though.
    Have you heard of any issues like this occurring based on the number of tabs that are open in Firefox?
    Just a thought, even though I have not heard of this as an issue before. I keep about 80 tabs open regularly, because of research that I am always conducting (I am a blogger, a writer/author, a technophile-especially Green Tech.,), email, work, etc.?
    I do have a check in the box for Firefox to let me know if the number of open tabs is causing slow down or other issues.
    Thanks for any help.

  • Why does the history/library window auto-scroll away from the previous point in the library?

    When in Firefox 23.0's history/library window when I am browsing it will auto-scroll to the top of "Today" page making it frustrating and difficult to browse. I do not seem to recall this being the case before. I disabled "auto-scroll" in options and this has not remedied the problem.

    Hello,
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    *Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    *In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
    *In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    *Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Why does the "Edit in" window in Lightroom takes me to an old uninstalled version of Photoshop

    I have Lightroom 4.2 and Photoshop extended CS6. When in Lightroom I ope the "Edit in" Window it leads to an older version that I have unistalled. I have tried Unistalling Lightroom 4.2 an Install it again to no effect.

    JimHess wrote:
    If you removed the older version after you installed Photoshop CS6 it sometimes fouls things up in Lightroom. The solution is to reinstall Lightroom.
    The reasoning's spot on, but it's Photoshop to reinstall, not LR.  Here you go: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/edit-photoshop-command-missing-photoshop.html
