Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 Selects Wrong Printer

My Platform:
HP Pavilion HPE-137c(2.50 gigahertz Intel Core2 Quad)
Windows 7 Home Premium 7(64bit build 7600)
8gb RAM
1tb Hard Drive
HP Officejet 6500 e709a
My Problem:
I select the following printer(Image 1), but Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 always tries to use the printer named HP Officejet 6500 E709a - Send Fax(Image 2), which isn't even installed on my system(Image 3)
Image 1
Image 2
Image 3
I have uninstalled and reinstalled print drivers and Adobe Photshop Elements to no avail. All other software prints OK.

Doubtful that I can add much, but here is what finally worked for me:
I deleted (removed) the Fax version of my printer (which I never use) leaving only this version:
I can still use the fax from other PCs and from the printer itself ...just not from the one PC that had the issue.
I got this idea from another thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3219193#3219193
This thread also suggests renaming the Fax version of the printer may work as well as deleting it. Both ideas (deleting or renaming) apparantly worked for many who had this complaint but not everyone.

Adoble photoshop elements does not recognize printer although other software programs do print...

Adobe Photoshop Elements does not recognize printer..error message says you must install printer. Other software does print documents.

Try opening an image in full edit, then press crtl+p
Wait for the print dialog to open and try to select your printer by clicking the dropdown menu.

I have a color management problem. I have OS X v 10.5, Adobe Photoshop Elements 6, and an Epson Stylus Photo R800. I want to print images I have scanned on a Epson Perfection 1660 Photo and corrected in Photoshop and get the colors accurate.

I used the ColorSync utility to verify, and it came back with this report:

I did not know what to do next. At the bottom of the window it said to go to www.apple.com/colorsync to find a tutorial. I got a message saying that link does not work. Tried to find the tutorial by searching at apple.com, but could not seem to locate it. Does anyone know what the report above means and what I should do about it?
Also, how to find that tutorial?

I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 for two years. I got a new printer and installed it although I did not remove my old printer from my computer. I used this program and my new printer for quite a few months, but today I deleted my old printer

I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 for along time now. When I first used the program I had a different printer than I have now. Although I changed printers I never removed the software from my old one. Now this was never a problem until today. When I choose a printer I still had option to use the old one but always chose my new HP Envy 5530 and Adobe never had a problem printing from that new printer. However today I decided to remove my old printer from my computer and now my Adobe cannot find my new printer. How can I make it find the HP printer?

Try this --
Go to the bottom of the link I gave you, and you will see
click that link and then click the chat button to talk to an Adobe agent

Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 for Mac does not show up in Applications. Tutorial for editing from iPhoto shows selecting the Adobe software in Applications. Am I missing a step in registering product?

Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 for Mac does not show up in Applications. Tutorial for editing from iPhoto shows selecting the Adobe software in Applications. Am I missing a step in registering product?

I answered my own question: There's a difference between "download' and "install." Hunt for "install" (1.5 hrs in my case) and line up your passwords, Adobe ID, etc, then install. Took 15 min. The right choice shows up in Applications. Now it's on to figuring out why photo selected for edit in iPhoto does not show up on screen in Elements.

In Aperture using the external photo editor Adobe photoshop elements 10 editor. My photo will not come back to aperture unless the photo is saved on the desktop and then imported back to Aperture. What am I doing wrong?

Using Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor as external editor in Aperture. The issue is once i make the changes in Photoshop it request that I save (use tiff) and the photo is not update in Aperture. What am I doing wrong?

Marianne,
how do you save? Photoshop Elements can save either versions or overwrite the original file, afaik.
You need to set the save preferences, so that it will write to the original file and not write a version. Also the filename extension should be "tiff" and not the default "tif" (I think you did that already).

Have Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 and it's running very slow. I don't know what's wrong!

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 and it's running very slow. Have no idea what's wrong or how to fix. Op Sys is Apple, OS X, ver 10.9.1.

If so, then see:
http://barbarabrundage.com/2013/10/28/photoshop-elements-and-os-x-mave ricks/
For PSE 11 you want to get
com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 paths
Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 settings
if you use organizer, also
com.adobe.Elements Organizer.11.0.plist
com.adobe.ElementsOrganizer11.plist
If you use raw, Adobe Camera Raw < version > Prefs
and any lockfiles with the same names.
Since you've already run PSE, go into the Saved Application States folder and delete any for PSE.
Repair permissions and try again.
Also go to the organizer preferences>media analysis and be sure everything there is off (except face recognitiion, if you use that).

Mac OS X update (3/19/13) crashes my iMac. After installing an automatic OS X update, every time I use Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 to print to my Epson R1800 printer (which worked perfectly just before the update), my entire system crashes.

On 3/19/13 I was printing photos on my Epson R1800 printer using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 with no problems. I got an automatic Apple OS X software update which I installed. Ever since, when I try to print photos my iMac crashes. How can I unistall the OS X update?

What you are experiencing is called a Kernel Panic and is NOT caused by the OS, they can be difficult to troubleshoot as they can be software or hardware relate. The X Labs writes and excellent article about them, in Kernel Panics. Please read it carefully. In order to troubleshoot your KP you need to post your last KP log, Apple provides instructions for doing so in How to log a kernel panic. Please follow the instructions in that article and post your complete KP report.
As mentioned previously it is NOT caused by OS X! There are common causes, including RAM issues, outdated applications, hard disks failing etc. By posting your KP log we can look at it and determine if it's software and if it is then point you to what is causing the issue.

Add printer profile to Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0

Hi
I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0 running on a Windows/7 64 bit system. I print to an epson 1400.
I wish to print a photo from the PSE editor. Unfortunately the editor does not allow me to choose the appropriate printer profile for the epson 1400 & the paper I have loaded.
The profiles are correctly installed in C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color; and they are available to other programs, like MS Photo Viewer. But PSE editor does not display them as a choice.
PSE 7.03 does allows me to specify a printer profile. After pressing control-P I am presented with a PRINT dialog box. Among other things, I choose:
Color Handling: Photoshop Elements Manages Colors
Printer Profile: presents many options, including:
- working RGB - Adobe RGB (1998)
- working CMYK - U.S. Web Coasted ....
- working Gray
- and many others,
but no Epson profiles.
For Epson Premium Photo Paper Glossy I want to use the SP1400 1410 PGPS profile provided by epson.
Does anyone know how to get PSE 7.03 to allow this choice?
thanks
John

Thanks again for the helpful reply.
I have not previously calibrated my monitor. I am looking at that now. but
have avoided it because:
   1. Adobe recommends (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/333/333356.html) that LCD
   displays not be calibrated.
   2. The colors on my Dell 2007WFP are the same as on the back display of
   my Nikon D80 within my ability to differentiate. And they are good!
   3. The colors produced by the Epson 1400 were way off for some skin
   tones (specifically brown skinned people - about half of the folk who I
   photograph). This was not a minor adjustment issue. And sometimes they
   were off in the Green direction, other times they looked red or orange, more
   in shadows than in highlights.
   4. The skin tones printed from Picasa were very good (short of excellent)
   while the skin tones from PSE 7.03 were completely inferior - I did not
   suspect a problem with the monitor calibration or the printer - PSE was at
   fault.
Ok, now I used the calibration tool that seems to be part of Win/7 - I got
to it via the control panel:display. I made no adjustments to the monitor -
it seemed fine.
I would like the printer to duplicate what I see on the monitor. prints are
a bit lighter than what I see on the screen.
I am printing now with the following parameters:
   1. from PSE Editor
   2. Photoshop Manages color
   3. Printer Preferences
      1. Premium Photo Paper Glossy (I use epson paper & inks)
      2. Color Management: ICM & No Color Adjustment
   4. Printer Profile: SP1400 1410 PGPP (thanks!)
   5. Rendering: Relative Colourimetric

Adobe photoshop elements stopped printing to my printer.

I was making prints using adobe photoshop elements 10. It made 3 prints and then it stopped working. Now it hangs everytime that I hit the print option. What is the problem? The printer is working. Lightroom 5 printed one print and then it also stopped.

I've tried to register the product to my account from within the program (going to Help > Register Product) but it still does not appear in my products and services on my account. This is an issue because I have lost the serial number and have switched laptops. I would like to get Elements 9 on my new computer. Please help.
I don't understand your question so let me try to dissect it step by step:
1) You have already got PSE8 on your machine but you don't have the serial number. Is this correct? If so, have you still got the DVDs for the product? The serial number should be on the sleeve or the case of the DVD so you can search for it.
2) You say you want to install PSE9 on a new laptop so I assume you have got the DVD and serial number for it. Is this correct? If so, what is the problem you are having when trying to install it?
3) You haven't said what is your operating system so please reply with this info so that further help can be given. As to getting the serial number from the old machine for PSE8, you can use Belarc Advisor tool for Windows and this can retrieve the serial number though I am not sure whether it will work for PSE8 because it is a very old program (about 4 years old) and Belarc may not be as sophisticated as it is today. These tools gets developed almost daily and earlier versions were not so good.
