Print setting in PS CS5

I've just upgraded to CS5 and I'm having what appears to be a problem with printing.  I open the Print Window from File\Print and then under color handling I select "Printer Manages Colors".  I then go into the Print Settings window and under Color Management I select "Color Controls".  I click the OK button and "Printer Manages Colors" under the Color Handling automatically changes back to "Photoshop Manages Colors".  I go back into print settings and the Color Management has reverted to ICM with "Off" checked an no color adjustment.  No matter what I try this keeps happening.  Has anyone experienced this, have any thoughts or ideas about it?
Thanks in advance for your help.

The monitor calibration would only affect prints indirectly - as in you edit images so they look proper on the screen but in fact the gamma is off so the images are really lighter or darker than they should be.
There's a gamma calibration test target with which you can do a quick visual check of that.  View this at 100% original size, and through the sRGB profile, and you should see even gray gradients when the monitor is performing as it should be.
Note that on this forum you have to click on the image to see it at 100% original size.
The "Photoshop Manages Color" setting also implies you have to choose a proper printer profile given the particular printer, paper, and driver requirements.  Some drivers (e.g., some HP printers) simply want to see colors in the sRGB profile for input.  For other printers you can get profiles for the printer and specific papers.
The use of "Photoshop Manages Color" also means that the printer driver has to be instructed to disable its own color management logic, so it doesn't try to transform the color further.  Apparently there has been a problem actually doing this with certain Epson printers (there were a lot of posts here about red/magenta color shifts when Photoshop CS5 was released).

  • Double profiling printing from in InDesign CS5 to an Epson 7800

    I had to print a collage of 28 images on one page. In the InDesign print dialogue where you choose the colour management in the options field in colour handling it says let InDesign determine Colours which is unachangeable, certainly on my machine. Under that it suggests you pick the printer profile that you wish to use. When I do this the print is all washed out and pink. I'm aware of the conflict warnings if you try and set stuff in the Mac print dialogue. However trying this I get this error message once I come out of the Mac dialogue and press print in the InDesign dialogue: "Printing error: The Adobe Print Engine has failed to uotput your data due to an unknown problem." Two things: my friend doesn't get this error message and can print away. I finally solved my print problem by choosing Adobe 1998 as my printer profile in InDesigns colour management dialogue!.
    My Mac is on 10.5.8 and my friends is on 10.6.8 so there is that. I'm also aware that its possible to get lucky with some files using Adobe 98 as a print space because I used to do it all the time years ago before I ever knew about colour management so I'm not convinced I have nailed this and using Adobe 98 as the printer profile in InDesign just seems stupid. I printed a single image through Photoshop that forms part of the collage and it perfectly matched my colour managed workflow.
    If anybody has any ideas i would be very grateful To hear them.
    Regards. Patrick.

    I wish I could help, but I just upgraded to CS5.5, and I'm also on Mac OS5.8. I've gone back to CS2 to print because, out of CS5.5 I get a poor b+w print. Adobe tech says my printer is old and suggested updating my printer driver, but I'm using a driver appropriate to my old HP OfficejetPro. My printer's been a workhorse, but they're so cheap, I may buy another printer. It makes no sense that CS5.5 should be so picky about printers.

  • Photoshop CC print quality inferior to CS5, why?

    Why is it when I print an identical file in Photoshop CC 2014 and CS5, that the CS5 one matches the monitor, but CC2014 is different, no matter what print setting I try with it? It looks like CC 2014 is trying to guess what I would want for my colors, with them being more grainy. Whereas the same print setting in CS5 has a great dot spread, and accurate color?

    Lawrence, you are going to as familiar with Photoshop idiosyncrasies as most of us, but isn't is still likely to be an issue with the print driver?  Have you tried changing the print settings, like Printer manages colour etc.?  What printer are you using?
    BTW  8.5 is news to me.  I'm slightly surprised at an upgrade being released so close to the big June 18th updates.

  • No Print Setting Button

    I am running LR2.5 on a 64 bit PC with Vista.  In all of my manuals and the Adobe online help they show a "Print Settings' button on the lower left side of the screen right next to the "Page Setup" button.  I only have the page setup button and no print setting button.  is there some way to get this button to show or is this button now gone?  Thanks, Richard

    Thank you for posting the screen shot.
    Sorry, I see that this button has changed in CS5; it was labeled the "Page Setup" button in CS4.
    That only allowed you to choose printer and paper size in CS4.  In order to get to the Epson printer driver, which is where you choose the media (paper) type, color settings, etc, you had to click in the larger (blue in your screen shot) "Print…" button, which then brought up the Epson driver dialog panel.
    If this is no longer the case, then hopefully others will jump in.  My profound apologies for causing you further confusion.

  • How do I change the printer setting to print in Black only?

    How can I change my printer setting to print in Black only

    It depends on your printer as well; my Epson AIO only does color (even when it is black font only) - or grayscale )sort of a "draft" quality) as it uses some color even for black:

  • Incompitible Print Setting Error for HP LJ 8500n in Windows Vista

    Hi, I have two laptops, one with Windows XP and another with Windows Vista Business. There is a HP LJ 8500n connected with router and accessed by both laptops. Somehow, when I print from Windows XP laptop and I change the print settings there is no error message. But, when I print from Vista Business Laptop, it prints without any error message for default setting, but when I try to change the print setting (to change the paper size or color) the error message comes with "Incompitible Print Settings. It says: "There are one or more conflicting settings. One of the conflicting settings is: Accessory Output Bin: Not Installed. Output Bin: Mailbox 5." Once I click "Ok" it will have same message with output bin changed to Mailbox 6, etc. After I go through approximately 8 to 10 output bins messages, it gives me the screen where I can change the print settings. After that, I can print with revised setting. But, it is very annoying to go through these messages every time I have change the print settings.
    Please reply, Thank You,

    For the laserjet 3390, you have the option of using the either the Universal Print Driver (network connection) or Windows Update Driver (USB connection)  in windows 8.1.  Neither of these drivers come with a fax or scan driver.
    To use the fax and scan driver, you will need to use the Windwos Fax and Scan Software however you will need to be usb connected. I have given you links to documents that explain how to use both the Windwos Update driver and the Windows Fax and Scan Software.
    Driver support included in Windows 8 / Windows 8.1 or in Windows Update - usb connection only
    Use the software in Windows 8 to scan - usb connection only
    Please understand that the UPD is a print only driver. If you would like a fax/scan driver you will need to connect via USB and use the Windows Fax and Scan driver along with the Windows Update/In-OS driver.
    Good Luck.

  • Printer Driver for PS CS5, Mac OS 10.8.5

    What printer driver do I need to print from Photoshop CS5 to an Epson Stylus Pro 7600 printer from a MAC Mini running OS 10.8.5?

    I have downloaded the latest Epson driver (Version 9.17) but the print box from PS CS5 does not allow changing from the letter size to any other size such as 24 inch roll auto cut which is the desired size.

  • Cannot Open Print Setup in Photoshop CS5

    I am using an iMac and an Epson 3800 printer.  After opeining the Print page in Photoshop CS5, I am unable to open the "Print Setup" page when I click the "Print Setup" button.  The Print button is already blue when I open the page and when I click "Print Setup", the "Print Setup" button temporarily turns blue and the Print button grays out, but "Print Setup" page never opens.  When I unclick the mouse, the Print button turns blue again and always runs the printer if I click it.   I am able to make prints in this manner, but I cannot make any adjustments at all.  Prior to attempting to print, I did an update of Apple's Epson Print software, and got an error message saying that the software could not access something about my "library".  I did not write down the error message  as the updater told me that updating was complete. I have no problem with my laprop accessing the "Print Setup" page.  Even after updateing the same Apple Epron Print software on it.  I did not have this problem on my iMac when I was printing back in January.  I deleted adn reinstalled teh Epson print driver, did some additional updates from teh Epson site, and still no luck.  I deactivated, uninstalled, and reinstalled my Photoshop CS% software aand again no luck. Has anayone else run into this problem and have any advice how to fix this problem.

    No need for anyone to respond.  I kept testing out my problem and discovered there wsa no glicth.  I happened to have teh "printer manages colors" selected instead of Photoshop manages colors"  ONce I switched to Photoshop manages colors, I could then access "Page Setup" window.

  • Preview Default Print Setting "Fit to Page" Problem

    Preview.app in Snow Leopard has removed the option to print without scaling, and recreating this behaviour with the remaining options is quite complex and requires 4 extra steps.
    Steps to Reproduce:
    1. Open a document in Preview.app, such as a PDF, of a known paper size.
    2. Select 'File' > 'Print…'
    3. Change the paper size to one where the default scale value with the default 'Scale to Fit:' 'Print Entire Image' is not 100%. This step is often unnecessary, as many documents will require reduction to include margins, even if the paper sizes match.
    4. Select 'Scale:'
    5. Select the scale % value.
    6. Delete the scale value.
    7. Input '100' in the scale value box using the keyboard.
    8. Press tab to avoid radar #7256827.
    9. Click 'Print'
    Expected Results:
    Click on a single option to print at 100%, if by chance that wasn't the default option. This would have been one step.
    Actual Results:
    Does what it says. Steps 4 through 8 are necessary to print at 100% in most cases.
    Regression:
    This behaviour was as expected in OS X 10.5.x and previous versions, or we wouldn't be having this discussion.
    Notes:
    Printing at 100% is the only scaling that is common enough to warrant a button to make it an easy one to get to. Preview.app itself even has an 'Actual Size' toolbar button, but has removed this function for printing.
    Graphic designers (and other professionals) or specific applications (such as printing on pre-cut or pre-printed paper, labels, or DVDs) can commonly require printing at 100%, and using PDF to distribute documents makes Preview.app the most logical choice for many printing jobs.
    Having something other than 100% as a default can cause expensive media to be ruined by a mis-scaled printout, unless these 4 (+1) steps are followed every time.
    Most other apps, including Safari, Mail.app and TextEdit default to no scaling, making Preview.app an exception.
    I am an architect and this is really annoying!
    Does anyone know a workaround?

    Sorry no workaround as yet...
    I too am now sick of the amount of expensive paper I have wasted due to the Preview app default print setting of 'Scale to fit'.
    - No option to print at 100%, you have to manually input this information.
    - No way to change this default in preferences, you can change the opening viewing size of a doc to 100% though.
    - Doesn't remember the previous settings if you decide to reopen the doc and print another copy.
    I also found that if I attempted to print an A4 doc with bleed and crop marks, it would set the default paper size to A4 and the annoying scale to fit would be set to 83%. If I then changed the scale by typing in 100% but don't hit enter for fear of the print starting and then simply use the drop down to change the paper to A3 and then change the orientation and then hit enter it ignores that you have changed the scale and prints your doc at 83% on A3 - Brilliant!
    It's a shame to say that I will be going back to acrobat for pdfs!
    If you can't put a 100% scale radio button on the print dialogue box either allow people to change the default in prefs or even better allow the presets to control paper size and scale of printing!

  • How can I set the default print settings of my document as color.  I want the default print setting to be color when someone opens a document.  similar to duplex print preset is there a color print preset?

    Hi,
    Try saving your settings as a Preset by clicking the Preset drop down and then select Save Current Settings as a Preset.
    Next try changing the settings by selecting the saved preset.
    That allow saving the settings for a specific printer, I assume it may also allow selecting these settings for another printer.

  • Where did the print setting "Rewrap message to fit" go in Mail 7?

    Where did the print setting "Rewrap message to fit" go in Mail 7?
    All text prints too small. Settings for font size haven't changed and the emails print out much smaller than the view settings.
    I don't see the options for "Rewrap message to fit" or "Keep fonts the same size".
    Suggestions?

    I have the same problem. Text and the info with the "To" header all prints very small. I also cannot find the controls described. Just updated to Mavericks, never had problem before this. Same printer, and problem also occurs on another different model printer I tried for a test.

  • Printer doesn't save paper size in saved printer setting

    I have saved an A3 printer setting with the paper size as A3 but it always load the dafult paper size (A4) even when I load my A3 setting. Am I doing something wrong?
    Canon iR ADV C2020 with the latest driver on 10.8.4

    Try holding the Option key and selecting Library from the Go menu in the Finder. Then go to the Preferences folder in the window that opens, and locate the file or files that begins with "com.apple.print.custompresets," and move them out of this folder (e.g., to the trash). After this, log out and back in to your account, and then try setting up your preset again.
    You might also remove the file "com.apple.print.printingprefs.plist" since this is involved with what presets are picked.
