Properties of the printer in Windows 8

I'm on Windows 8 with an HP printer. I can change some printer properties, but not all. For example, I can only print in color, but not in mode B & W. I used to run this same computer and printer in Windows 7 without problem. Why can I not see the printer properties? Thank you.

Hello

1. What is the model of the printer?
2. don't connect you as an administrator?

To change the printer properties or perform other tasks to print without providing an administrator password, obtain permission to manage the printer from someone who is already authorized or a person with an administrator account.

I suggest you to run the printer troubleshooter.

  • I was wondering if I'm looking for something which exists not-firefox can automatically close the "Print preview" window after printing?

    I use the addon in my firefox toolbar to print an excerpt from the data of the Web site and then add it to a pdf file. Sometimes I'm distracted, then do not remember if I went through the process and print/added the page in the file. It would be useful if there was a way that the print preview window closes after printing which confirms that the process is complete. Thanks in advance.

    You're right: print preview remains open until the licensee. As a person who is regularly using the ESC key to dismiss dialog boxes, I had not really noticed an extra step.

    After a little research, it triggered a few times over the years (at least 2 identified bugs) but one was rejected immediately and the other has not attracted a serious debate since it was filed in 2006. I think that there are no secret switch in the software to do this.

    Hi @JSvWyk,

    Am I assume it looks something like this?

    You may need to change the language of your operating system. Research I've done, it seems that some languages, such as English (United Kingdom), cause this hiccup. Please check or change your language to English ( States- United).

    To check or change your current settings, go to control panel and select clock, language and region, and then select change regions. On the Format tab, select English (United States). On the location tab you have the United States in the current location of falling down and then select apply.

    Please let me know if I indeed understood the question correctly, and if the problem is now resolved. Thank you.

  • How to ungroup 1 application under properties of the taskbar in WIndows 7?

    How to ungroup 1 single application under properties of the taskbar in Windows 7?  The only options I see do not allow to separate application 1.  I only have 3 options under properties and I want does not exist: I see that (1) always combine, hide labels (default) (2) combine when the taskbar is full (3) never combine?

    Hello

    Thanks for choosing Microsoft Community!

    If I understand correctly, you want to disassociate an application under the taskbar properties.

    Unfortunately, there is no option as such in the taskbar properties.

    However, you can use your favorite search engine and looking for a software that does it for you.

    Have renewed my subscription ExportPDF, have the confirmation e-mail, but still up pop with window 'your course has expiré' when will convert via the printer driver window. Comments / help welcome thanks :-)

    Hi azza675,

    ExportPDF converts PDF files to Word and Excel formats (and many others). What you describe, sounds like you are trying to convert a file * to * PDF. Have you ever started a trial of Acrobat, maybe? (So that you can create PDFs with Acrobat, ExportPDF don't allow you to convert files to PDF.)

    What happens when you connect directly to ExportPDF to https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf?

  • Photosmart Premium C309A: C309A Fault Protection to access the properties of the printer and will not print (Windows 8.1)

    My C309A, connected via USB, my system worked very well through the life of WIndows 7 and Windows 8.1, until this week.

    I did run the software in PS_AIO_05_C309a_Net_Full_Win_WW_140_408 - 4.exe and then this week I received notice that there was a software update. I downloaded and installed PS_AIO_05_C309a_Net_Full_Win_WW_140_408 - 5.exe, and now my printer does not print.

    I uninstalled the previous version, without error and installed this new version, also without error. But, when I click on printer properties

    I get a protection fault.

    If I try to print a test page, the system hangs for a few minutes, then the devices and printer page is closed (with no message).

    I tried the Ethernet connection instead, but that made no difference.

    Interestingly, even if printing does not work, scanning and fax are. I can connect to the scanner from Paperport or Adobe Photoshop Elements.

    I uninstalled the software several times and tried both the old and the new, and they both do it.

    I tried to run print and Scan of the doctor. Who says that the driver is missing some files and to uninstall and reinstall, but I did it at least 6 times without success.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Stan

    FWIW, I have set the printer by improving the system to 10 Windows (which went very well). It works fine now.

    Hello, I have a problem with HP DesignJet 4500.

    With the new driver ver.7.10.0.0 (the most recent in the HP support page), when I get to the printer options - all symbols are unreadable (screenshot 1).

    Old print server - I found already installed ver.6.17.0.0 driver 32-bit and 64-bit driver ver.7.10.0.0 (screenshot 2). When installing 6.17.0.0 driver for 32-bit PC and open the window-it works very well, all the symbols are in English (screenshot 3).

    So, how do I make the symbols in 7.10.0.0 readable? Or, if I can't fix it, where I can download 6.17.0.0 driver (64-bit)?

    Thank you.

    P.S. It's unreadable that symbol in the windows printing options, but 7.10.0.0 prints correctly.

    Hello

    Remove the driver completely from the computer (devices and printers, properties of the server), download the driver from the HP website and install it.

    If you still have the problem, you may need to remove the printer from the registry.

  • HP P1102w LJ: Incorrect symbols in the properties of the printer (Russian language)

    Hi all

    I have incorrect symbols in printer properties / setting of the dialog boxes. The system language is Russian. Perhaps, we already know how to fix this problem.

    Sorry for my question. I just solved the problem myself.  I put in the windows regional settings to use Russian (it was before English) for programs no unicode and strange symbols disappeared.

    Anyway maybe anyone know how are English-language in the printer settings in windows RU?

  • What impression Firefox does not open the print dialog window

    When printing to our office, we often print on several printers, not just the default printer. When you print in Firefox, however, printing is automatically sent to the default printer and I do not get a print dialog window. I reset the options Firefox of the printer, change the file prefs.js and started Firefox in safe mode to check if an add-on affect printing - all about nothing done. When I print from Chrome, or (shudder) Internet Explorer, I get a dialog box send me options of the printer. Your help and your responses will be appreciated.

    There is a hidden preference to work around the dialog box, but it is certainly not defined by default. To check that:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste print and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) If you find a preference named print.always_print_silent there is your trouble.

    Next question would be, where it comes from? A few possibilities:

    (A) a user.js file that overrides prefs.js at startup. See: How to fix preferences that will not save.

    (B) a file lock in the program folder. See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
