Can't print from Photoshop or Lightroom

OS: Mac, Intel, OS X 10.6.7 (Snow Lepoard)
Photoshop CS5, v12.0.4, x64
Lightroom 2: v2.7
Printers: Epson colour inkjets, HP LaserWriter, Brother colour inkjet
Hello All.
I am at a lost with this issue which has only started in the last month or so on two different computers.
I am unable to print any doucments from Photoshop or Lightroom to any o my printers. All other applications print just fine to all printers. No error messages, the print job just nevers gets to the print drivers. I can print the documents by saving to the desktop and dragging the desktop file to the printer 'print queue' window.
I have spent the last week searching online for a solution, but can't seem to find one.
Any assistance grately appreciated.
W.

Can't print from Photoshop CC 2014

I very seldom need to print directly from Photoshop, but today I do. Today I discovered that I cannot print from Photoshop, because Photoshop stops working when I click 'Print'. I don't even get far enough to select a printer from the list. I get a Windows message in a little box -
"Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available"
I can print from every other program on my PC, including InDesign, so it would seem that the problem is solely with Photoshop. I'm using Windows 7 64bit.
Any help or suggestions would be gratefully received.

Can't print from Photoshop CS6

I'm on an Intel Mac running OSX 10.8.4 and Photoshop stopped printing to my Brother HL-5050 laser printer. No error messages, no dialogue boxes, it simply prints a blank sheet of paper. I can print from Acrobat, Pages, Word, and Illustrator, but not PS. I tried the usual suspects-trashed the prefs, restarted, replaced the Brother printer drivers, but nothing works.
However, If I switch to a different login ID, I can print normally. That, I assume, means that there's some combination of parts and conditions in my user preferences that are causing the problem, so what are my options? What is the simplest way to get around this problem?

Hi Birk,
Wait, did you try just clearing your Photoshop preferences? If you haven't I'd do that first since that's easiest:
http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2012/07/photoshop-basic-troubleshooting-steps-to-fix-mos t-issues.html#Preferences
If that doesn't allow you to print, I'd confirm that a new Admin user account allows you to print:
http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2012/07/photoshop-basic-troubleshooting-steps-to-fix-mos t-issues.html#Permissions
If that does allow you to print, you can try and repair permissions, but as I note in the link above, it's not always bulletproof way to correct permissions. You may just need to bite the bullet and create a new user account if Repair Permissions doesn't correct it.

Can't print from Photoshop elements 13 on local printer?

I can't get elements 13 to print, get a message saying it can't open printer, printer is open and prints from other software.

Can you try renaming the %APPDATA%\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\13.0 folder and try printing again?

Cannot print from Photoshop cs4

In Photoshop CS4 when I select the HP 7310 printer, PS only provides the preferences for the "HP 7310 fax". When I go to print a file, the printed image is reduced to around 22% of its original size. I'm using a Windows 7 HP computer with all current drivers.
Any help would be appreciated.
Jim

This is probably a litle too late to help, but for those that are having similar problems... Photoshop seems to get confused with printer names that are similar and always places the "Fax" printer before your standard printer. When it prints to fax, it prints the images very small.
To resolve this problem, click "Start - Printer and Faxes" and right click on the Fax printer, selecting properties. At the top of the dialog box, you can rename this printer. I recommend simply adding the word "Fax" to the beginning of the name. This changes the name enough such that Photoshop no longer messes up.
Once you have made that change, you can enjoy printing from Photoshop on your HP printer without converting to JPG!

Can no longer print from Photoshop CS^ have upgraded drivers error message reads There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents."

I have upgraded my iMac to Yosemite but now my two Canon Printers no longer print from Photoshop CS6. I have upgraded the drivers. All other applications including Lightroom are fine. I am receiving an error message as follows:"There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents." How can I get the OS to return a list of printers to Photoshop when Photoshop requests a list.

Have you printed to this printer from 10.10 before? If so, check your connections.

I can not longer print from photoshop CS6

I get an error message when I try to print from photoshop CS6
Nothing I've done has helped.

These suggestions are not the problem and I have contacted HP and they have run all the diagnostics and they say the problem is not with the printer or the software. All other browsers print, just not Mozilla

Why can't I print from Photoshop?

When I click print, the cursor just spins. I have to manually shut the program down. I have already tried to uninstall and re-install it.

Which version of PSE?
Windows or Mac?
Are you attempting to print from Editor or from Organizer?
Is the printer set as the default printer?
Are the latest drivers installed for your printer?
Any error messages?
Can you print from other applications?
Is the printer connected via USB or are you on a network?

Canon Pixma Pro-100 printer ejects 3.8 in of a 4X6 paper and prints only 2.2 in of the image printing from Photoshop CS6, I'm sure I set everything correctly - what could I be missing?

Using Mac Pro running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) & editing & printing from Photoshop CS 6.
Have new Canon Pixma Pro-100 printer and set it up yesterday. First thing printed was a
document from MS Word (a letter) 8.5 X 11 plain paper - this came out OK. Next I fire up
Photoshop and open a 4 X 6 inch image to do a test print. I set it up in the print dialog as
4X6 paper, Canon's Pro Glossy paper profile, rear tray, standard print quality, Photoshop
manages the color. I load the paper in the rear tray close the covers and hit print. Now, when
it starts to print the printer moves about 3.8 inches of paper out of the printer and starts printing
on the remaining 2.2 inches then spits the paper out. It does this in Photoshop (any image it doesn't
matter), and it does it printing from Capture NX. I have been able to get it to print on the paper
correctly using Apple's Preview program but that that's not going to do me any good. I was on
the phone with Canon tech support for about 2 hours and they were completely puzzled suggesting
I would have to use Canon's printing apps instead to print - that doesn't do me any good either.
I want to be able to print from Photoshop. Any one every heard of this or experienced the same
problem? Thanks JamesD!

Hello again. I recognize that a print is good if you like it and bad if you don't, despite what others might say, but I will at least share my experiences. They might help you or others who are following this thread.
My monitor is calibrated with Spyder 3. Gamma 2.2, 6500K, 83 cd/m^2. Contrast at 50%; brightness about 52%. My monitor lets me choose blackness level - it defaults to 50%.
When I print the test image I linked to above, using Lightroom, with no adjustments, my technical output is as follows:
Middle step wedge shows twelve disticnt steps. Whitest step is color of unprinted paper.
It varies from paper to paper, but I can discerne at least the 252 step and on some papers 253 - telling me I have good highlight detail.
On the black side I discerne 8 or 10, nothing lower. (That sounds like what you are reporting).
Artistically I am very happy how my print looks - nice red strawberries, good flesh tones, etc.
One my monitor, the on-screen image is almost identical to the print. I am surprised that you can see the 2 wedge step on screen at a very similar brightness.
I also checked out this B&W test image:
http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/article_pages/bw_printing/bw-test-image-2.html
You are probably aware of this since you are printing with Print Studio Pro, but others may not be.
You can print a series of test images:
find the one that best suits your taste, enter the calibration values in PSP, and save them as a custom setting. Then, each time you want to print recall the setting.
You can do a similar thing in Lightroom using the printer driver and User Templates.
There would be some one-time trial and error to that approach.

Problems printing from Photoshop 4 to Canon Pro9000MarkII

Hi All,
This has only strting happening in the last two days - before that I have had no problems with this function. I am trying to print from Photoshop 4 on a PC to my Canon Pro9000MarkII.
When I print a document and tick the Scale to Fit Media box then everything is fine and it prints no problem.
When I try to print with this box unticked so that I can print at 100% scale I press OK and nothing happens.
We have tried to download the latest printer driver and this has not helped. I have played around with the Printer Preferences and this too has not helped. I have restarted Photoshop and the PC quite a few times - nothing!!
I have obviously missed some sort of setting but I don't know what - help!!!!

I am back and still having trouble with Lightroom. Someone suggested I downgrade to LR 4.1 (from 4.4) but that didn't help. To reiterate: I have a MacBook Pro, using 10.9.5. I got a new Epson Stylus Photo R2000 printer and LR is having trouble communicating with the printer. When I try to print a letter size (or other size) picture, a 5x7 partial tile of the picture prints off center bleeding to the top. The only way I can print a whole picture is the size it 5x7; then it prints the whole picture but it is still off center, not as it appears in LR print view. I have talked with Epson who said I had Mac conflicts; I spoke with Mac who got rid of the conflicts so it can print fine from Apple programs like Pages, or the internet. It is only LR that won't print right. Obviously I got a photo printer to print photos so I would like help resolving this. It has been very frustrating that although I could talk with both Apple and Epson support, when I tried to contact Adobe both by phone and Live chat I was told that LR is not supported except on this forum. So please, help. Thanks.

Different Colors when printing from Photoshop and InDesign CS3

Different Colors when printing from Photoshop and InDesign CS3
I have the following problem:
When printing from Photoshop or InDesign to a PostScript printer, Adobe recommends to let Photoshop handle the colors (I use the German version, so I don't know the exact term used, it changes slightly in all CS3 apps anyway).
The manufacturer however told me to let the PostScript printer handle the colors.
When I chose this option in Ps's print dialog and then choose ISO Coated as the printer pfofile, the results are fine.
But when I place the exact same image in an InDesign file and print from InDesign or export to PDF and print via Acrobat, again using "Printer handles colors", the results are the exact same as if I had used Ps and chosen to let Ps handle the colors (way too saturated and a bit too red).
·Photoshop CS3
·InDesign CS3
·Test image is a TIFF in CMYK Fogra 27 Coated (which is also the working color space in Ps and ID.
·Printer: Xerox Docucolor 3535
·Printer profile: ISO Coated
How can I make sure the printer handles the colors in other CS3 apps than Ps? I tried it with ID's print dialog (translated from the German version: Color Management > Options > Color Handling: PostScript-printer decides colors).
Thanks a lot!

RE: "You don't indicate what Xerox printers you have"
In my first post I named it, is that the information you need?
Docucolor 3535 using Splash 3535
That's interesting, so I have to find a way to turn off the printer's Color Management function? I mailed them, hope they can tell me how to do it easily. They usually just tell me to not use any profiles and so on, but that's the general rule in this area, I'm really tired of hearing it. Everybody seems to think profiles and LAB mode are nuclear science and I should stay away from it.
Anyway, the test image I'm using is a simple photograph (size A3, 300dpi), so no transparencies at all. I'm placing this image into an equally large ID file and print it from ID, then export it to PDF-X/3 and print it from Acrobat. Hope that helps.

Can't Print from Illustrator Anymore

just out of the blue, can't print from Illustrator CS3 or 4 to an epson 3800. Had the printer and computer for over a year, Vista 64, never had an issue, printed hundreds of pages with this printer and various Adobe products, then bam, out of the blue, this problem.
Uninstalled and reinstalled drivers, 4 times now!
I can print test page from the Windows dialog in add/remove printers.
From Illustrator I have tried different pdf and ai documents, same thing. Printing hangs, nothing comes out, and most frustrating, I can't delete the print job and have to reboot to print another page.
I can print from the following with no problems:
Photoshop CS4
Microsoft Word 2004
Firefox
Sketchup
Vectorworks (CAD)
ect.
Just never in Illustrator

try dumping your preferences
go to Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe Illustrator CS4 settings, drag this file out to the desktop and then try printing, also make certain the file is on your local machine and not a server.

HP laser printer b/w suddenly stopped printing from photoshop

I have a mac 10.6.8, and an HP 1102w, which I got specifically because the ink contains iron oxide which I can fire onto my ceramic sculptures. It has been working fine printing from photshop CS5 for several months. Today I tried to print and got a page of very fine vertical lines down most of the page and various horizontal marks at the top of the page. The same file prints ok on my Canon printer, and files from Preview print fine on the HP. I changed the cartridge, which was getting low, but that didn't help. I closed all the apps and turned off the computer, also unplugged and replugged in the printer. It only doesn't print from photoshop. Please help!

Thank you Michael, but I don't know how to delete the printer driver. Can you walk me through it?

Hi
I have a problem with color prints from photoshop elements 12. The pictures are too light and with strange colors. I have a Canon pixma mg615I0 printer and use mac os X yosemite. The pictures are taken with a coanon eos 550d in the color space sRGB. I have followed adobes recommendations and have tried both letting the printer respektive photoshop manage the colors. But nothing works. I see that there are different opinions about which is best to do so I tried both. I have the latest printer driver installed. Can anyone help me with this?

Do the following:
Print a test page from the printer. Perhaps the print head needs cleaning via its maintenance facility.
Let the printer manage colors, not PSE
Calibrate the monitor

Can only print from certain programs. Started suddenly.

Everything was working just fine and then suddenly I can only print from InDesign and Word. And when I print from InDesign I can't change any settings in the "print" dialog box or the program freezes and crashes. When I try to print from firefox, photoshop, illustrator among others, it freezes and crashes. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the print driver and restarting my computer numerous times and the problem persists. (Unless I am not doing it properly) I go into my printer settings and remove the printer then go back in and reinstall it.
Any thoughts or help is greatly appreciated as this is affecting my ability to do my job efficiently. Thanks so much.
