Missing print settings in preview

Hi All,

I just updated my MacBook to the new model and to Mojave.

For some reason, a lot of my "key settings" on my Canon IPF8000S printer is gone in Preview. Normally i can pick different settings in the drop down menu in print settings.

On the other hand, if i open the pdf in Acrobat reader, all the fiery features, advanced settings and expanded setup is visible, just as it was before in preview.

I have tried to delete the printer and install it again. But no luck.

Any good suggestions? Thank you.

MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2018), macOS Mojave (10.14)

I just tried, and it works at i should in word. But not in pages.

So you are right, it must be something with the new security efforts in Mojave.

Any other solution than just use Adobe PDF reader in the future? I definitely prefer Preview more.

Thanks

Are you sure the settings are not in the Printer Features panel - the very last one in the list? For most other drivers I have tried, the settings that used to be in the vendor PDEs are now in the that panel. Maybe they are named differently?

But yes, in order to see the vendor PDEs the way you're used to, you have to use an app that doesn't have library validation - most of the Apple apps now do.

Thank you for the screen shots, and I am sorry I can't be any help. The settings for most of the vendor drivers are put in the Printer Features panel in apps that have some sort of library validation. Using non-Apple apps is the best solution if you want to use the vendor features - sorry about that.
