Why printer driver stays open after printing?

I have upgraded to 10.5, and every time I print on a shared or local printer, the dialog for that printer (the one that shows the document printing) stays open.
Is there any solution for that?
I have to manyally close the driver after page finish printing, and it happens with HB annd Epson drivers.
Thanks a lot

While the icon is in your Dock CTRL- or Right-click on it and select the option to close authomatically.

  • Printer app stays open after printing

    even after selecting "auto-quit" with ctrl-click in the dock!
    Is there a fix? (this happens on different printers)

    Other users mentioned that it was necessary to delete and re-add the printer to get this to stick.
    Hope this helps.

  • Acrobat 9 - PDF doesn't open after print

    After updating Acrobat 9, my PDF printer was renamed to "Adobe PDF (Copy 1)" and after printing, the created PDF does not open automatically. How can I change the setting back to have the PDF open after printing?
    I tried renaming the printer to "Adobe PDF".  There is only one PDF printer.  I checked the settings of the printer, and believe them to be correct.  Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    I do not know why you have a copy of the Adobe PDF printer. The original Adobe PDF printer is used for printing to a PDF and the settings are found in the properties under the settings tab. You might have to select the advanced button on the general tab first. Some of the properties require stepping into another level of menus.

  • In the file menu why can't i open 'close', 'print', 'properties'?

    in the file menu why can't i open 'close', 'print' and properties'?

    I have a document open. I clic print, then i select 'more options' to print a partiel view (or 'active view') of the document. But i want to have it 100%. When i choose the size of the document, if i select 'adjust' the scale is 73%. If a select 'real size' then i have shades at both end so i don't have the entire page. If i choose 'reduce pages to ...' i get a 73% scale and if i select personnalized scale (100%) there is still shades at both end. So what do i change to get a 100% active view? On the late version i never had that problem. Thank you.

  • Canon Printing - Window stays open

    This is a nit-picking question but bothersome none the less. Ever since I upgraded to Leopard, when I print something the printer window opens while printing then STAYS open and I would have to manually close the window. In Tiger it used to close automatically when the print job was complete. I have all the latest software and drivers. Is there a quick fix for this?
    Thanks

    There are several threads on this here. This is a new feature in Leopard, and you can set it to close by using the Auto Quit menu item in the printer's dock menu. Some have had to delete and re-add the printer for the Auto Quit to stick.
    Hope this helps.

  • Printer won't quit after printing

    After I print anything from my eMac to the HP laser printer it is hooked up to, the printer icon stays in the dock with the little arrow under it showing that it is open. It won't quit automatically; I have to manually go in and quit the printer. I tried looking in the dock and print preferences, but couldn't figure out how to get the printer to quit automatically once it is done. Any help would be appreciated, since this is a new computer in my school lab (although the machine itself isn't new), and the kids love to click on anything they see, so the less they see, the better.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi
    I see.
    Have you by chance set the Docked icon to Keep In Dock, found by clicking and holding down on the docked icon?
    Furthermore you say the printer icon stays open showing a green arrow, so is that both the printer utility and the printer both showing in the dock?
    i think normally, there should only be the printer utility, a green open printer symbol doesn't ring a bell, so to speak.

  • Epson RX 700 DVD label printing - "driver dealing with CD printing is not..

    Thank goodness I still have my PowerBook with Tiger 10.4.11 on it so I can print DVD labels. But I would like to be able to do this with my intel iMac with Leopard on it.
    When I try to print DVD labels on my iMac with Leopard 10.5.3 using the horrible Epson Print CD software I am getting, "EPSON printer driver dealing with CD printing is not installed."
    I searched on this message board and others have gone to the Russian website and downloaded the newer print driver which isn't available on the American website. I found driver 3.09, download it, and installed it. It shows up in English and everything LOOKs good.
    Then I try to print from the EPSON CD Print software and it gives me this error.
    Note that I also bought Roxio's Toast 9 Titanium with Disc Cover RE and try to print from that it and the print job gets all the way to the printer queue which tells me, "CD/DVD guide open". Well DUH, I'm trying to print the CD/DVD so I want it open, stupid printer.
    Or I'm just being stupid. Help. Did I forgot to stand on my head, rub my stomach, pat my feet, and chant something before/after installing the new printer driver which is supposed to work?

    I've done all that (exactly as it is suggested from the Epson support site) and I still get the same error. I called their tech support and they admitted that there is no real fix... only a workaround by doing a manual print. I had already figured that out, but all the instruction on their support site is useless.
    My older machines work fine, but our new iMacs running Leopard will not print with Print CD.

  • Missing print driver when adding rendezvous printer

    Hello all, hopefully you smart people can help me.
    The new iMac (10.4.9) is glorious and printing on the new HP Photosmart D5069 via USB, no problems. I want to share the printer with two laptops (an iBook and Powerbook, both running 10.3.9). I enabled sharing.
    When I go to add the printer on the laptops, under Rendezvous printing it sees the printer at the iMac (@ computer). I add it, but then I need the print driver.
    So I stepped back and installed the HP software disc on the laptops to get the print driver on there. I installed it via USB. I can print from a laptop to the printer via USB.
    However, when I return the printer to its USB connection on the iMac, and then proceed to add the shared printer via Rendezvous on the laptops, I still can't find the printer driver. Under Printer Model/HP there is no Photosmart D5xxx model. Using the generic print driver leads to no printing via Rendezvous (it shows up in the queue on the iMac, but no printing occurs).
    So how do I add the correct print driver? It must be on my hard drive, since I can USB print, but I can't reveal its presence to Rendezvous.
    As an added note, I thought Rendezvous was supposed to make it EASY. If you have to add the print driver manually, I'm not sure how that helps using Rendezvous.
    Thanks

    Repair permissions (Disk Utility) after any HP driver install. Then restart the computer and try Adding the printer.
    For troubleshooting, try using the HP Photosmart P1100 Gimp-Print driver included in OS X. If you don't see that either, you may need to update your laptops with Gutenprint, the new name for Gimp-Print drivers:

  • Stop bookmark menus from staying open after I move my mouse

    I just updated to FF 6.0. My bookmarks menu has multiple folders containing additional bookmarks. When I open one of the bookmarks folders (sub-menus) the sub-menu stays open after I move my mouse. In the old version the menu closed when I moved my mouse. This is a problem because when it is open it obscures the menu below. This means that I have to close everything each time I want to move to a different folder. It also means that I MUST make a direct hit on the folder I want to open - pain in the 'you-know-what'.
    I can't find anyway to turn this feature off - and if I can't I will have to uninstall this version.

    Currently 664 [exported from FFox Bookmarks to URL Manager for the count] abut never more than 4000: beyond 4000 bookmarks and FFoxs' Bookmarks respond slowly even without Sync active. I currently have 5 computer with FFox set up to use Sync. While I don't expect FFox to manage a huge collection of URLs, I would be nice to be able to access a Bookmark collection of 6000 to 8000 without noticeable delay. It's a simple text file after all, and as I'm only effecting one URL, why so long to update?
    fyi: URL Manager tells me that I've amassed about 300,000 bookmarks, some from the late 90's which I still use for research.

  • Make terminator stay open after command completion? [SOLVED]

    I'd like to execute a command into terminator from my Openbox menu and have it stay open after the command completes.
    I know urxvt does this with a "-hold" option but I'd like to just use one terminal instead of two or more for different things.

    Thanks.
    I also found on the crunchbag forums that you can use a --profile flag (not mentioned in the terminator man page </sigh>)
    terminator --profile stayopen --geometry 990x500+0+20 --command '{my command}'

  • Printer (Driver) issue only after reinstalling 10.6.8

    For some reason since I reinstalled my mac os (I transferred everything from time machine and did the updates, including a printer driver update) after my printer has been idle, it can't be found by my computer.  In theory there's nothing wrong with my wireless router, as everything possible with that has been tried and failed to resolve the issue.  When I go into the console logs, I get these errors, always together, every ten seconds or so: 
    9/12/11 5:27:05 PM          com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[92]          (com.hp.devicemonitor[2063]) posix_spawn("/Library/Printers/hp/hpio/HP Device Monitor.app/Contents/MacOS/HP Device Monitor", ...): No such file or directory

    If I put my computer to sleep with a print job in the que, when the computer wakes up it will connect, but will then stop immediately after that transfer, where if I try to print something, it says the printer is offline and can't find the printer.  The same is true with the connecting if I turn off the printer and turn it back on - whatever's in the que will print.  But once it goes idle for more than a few seconds, I'm screwed.  I'm at my wits end with this.  I've called Belkin (maker of my router), HP, maker of my printer (it's an HP CP1525NW that's having the issue), etc. and no resolution.  Also, when my computer tells me that it can't find the printer, it has no trouble connecting to the internet as I can find the printer if I open it's IP address in safari or firefox, and play on farmtown in FB all I want, but the print que/utility will NOT find the printer.  Please help me.  Thank you in advance if your advice is helpful/almost helpful. 
    Another thing I found was this in my console:  9/12/11 10:58:50 AM          mDNSResponder[18]          Client application bug: DNSServiceResolve(HP\032LaserJet\032CP1525nw\032(843086)._ipp._tcp.local.) active for over two minutes. This places considerable burden on the network.
    I'm confused as to whether this means anything.  The HP laserjet cp1525nw (843086) is what my computer calls my printer when it's wireless; the wired (usb) one doesn't have the (843086) after it. 
    And one other thing - if I search this very same error on google, the only thing that will come up is someone having trouble with a brand new MBP with the screen flickering and the graphics device switching.  For whatever reason when the person got rid of HP from their user logs or something the flicker issue went away but they started seeing this very same series of errors.  My screen is fine except for the fact that sometimes when it comes out of sleep the screen will go black.  I've had that problem for a long time, it doesn't happen very often (thank God), and while this has been going on (before the reinstall), I had NO trouble with my printer.  Nothing seems to make sense.   

    One other thing I forgot to mention.  If I hook the printer up using a usb cable, it prints fine without issues.
