Since Ventura upgrade issues with print screen it’s horribly 😑 wrong

Has anyone got problems with their print screen since upgrading to Ventura? I can’t move the print window, unable to view the print icon, no option to print in black and white, the maximise and minimise buttons on the top left corner not there and the list goes on………

Garry and Linda Brettell,


Let's continue with updating the macOS software to the latest version. This can help resolve these types of issues with displaying menus. To compete this step, please follow the guidance below:


"Before installing new software, it's a good idea to back up your Mac.

  1. From the Apple menu  in the corner of your screen:
    • Choose System Settings. Then click General in the sidebar, and Software Update on the right.
    • Or choose System Preferences. Then click Software Update.

2. If Software Update finds new software, click the Update Now or Upgrade Now button to install it.

Software Update windowe


3. Enter your administrator password, if asked. During installation, your Mac might restart, and you might see a progress bar or blank screen several times."

Take care.

There are other posts here about this; the Print and Cancel buttons are being covered by the dock.


A couple of suggested workarounds here have been:


1) move the dock to the left or right / hide the dock. (the tops of the buttons can be seen in the first screen shot)


2) Close the Notes option to shrink the dialog.


It's not necessary to quit Safari. Return/Enter will print, Escape will cancel the dialog.


Hope this helps.

Hi Garry and Linda Brettell,


To help troubleshoot, check and see if using a different display size helps with being unable to see or select the buttons at the bottom of the print dialog. To do so, take the following steps:


  1. From the Apple menu, select System Settings > Displays
  2. Select the More Space option available beneath the displays
  3. Test the behavior


Additionally, test after updating to macOS 13.0.1, as updating software may help to clear up the behavior: Update macOS on Mac - Apple Support


If the issue persists, then reach out to Apple Support directly for assistance with the behavior: Contact - Official Apple Support


Kind regards.

Hi Chris, thanks for reaching out to assist, yes Ive tried different display sizes, but it also reduces all the apps and icons which defeats the purpose on having a large IMac screen and I prefer large icons and apps. As you can see from the attached screen shot. Also do you know how to change the printer settings to black and white only I can’t find these settings anywhere🤔
