Can't print .psd files on new HP2800 inkjet

We recently replaced our workhorse HP CP1700 with the HP inkjet 2800. It works fine, but won't print files that contain images as .psd (photoshop native) files. We're a newspaper and artists here sometimes prefer the .psd format over .eps format for clipping and transparency reasons. Those images are usually loaded into an Adobe InDesign doc and then sent to the printer for proofs.
We never had a problem with the CP1700, but these images will not print on the IJ2800. We have loaded numerous drivers, including some gutenprint drivers, but nothing works. On some files, if we create PDFs of the full ID pages, some or most of the .psd images will print, but not always. It's HUGELY aggravating and we're stumped. We've tracked the problem down to the HP printer driver, knowing that these same docs and images print fine on earlier generation HP CP 1700 without a hitch.
We are a Mac shop, all running Mac OS 10.5.7 on a variety of Macs and CS3.
I've asked for help from HP, but we've got no answers. Anybody got a workaround or an answer here?

Some users think, the Mac-driver for the HP2800 is a driver using PCL encapsulated in PS.
And encapsulating PSD within PCL will be very hard to understand and can cause the problem.
And PCL encapsulated in PS is a possible answer for the long time, the 2800 waits, because PS waits untill all data of a full page is submitted.
Therefor I changed the driver of the 2300, who does not wait so long, to support the 2800 features.
Maybe this driver will not use PCL, so encapsulated PSD will not be a factor to stop printing.
Give it a try and me feedback.
Look attached file or to the following (english) thread. There is a new modified driver for the 2800, supporting 2 tray, duplex and sizes to A3.

The german readme is included in the ZIP. The file should work on german and english systems.

Can I open psd files created in Photoshop CC with lower version? Actually CS5.

Can I open psd files created in Photoshop CC with lower version? Actually CS5.
My home and office have different version each.

Yes, PROVIDED that the file has not been saved with any layers containing any of the specific new features introduced starting with Photoshop CC and higher.
If the file has been flattened or if it was flat to begin with there will be no problems.

Can i print a file using thunderbird with command line switch

Trying to automate printing task. I have a folder with 1000's and 1000's of eml files that need to be printed using thunderbird.
I am able to get the command line switch to open the file in thunderbird.
But what i really want is to print these files directly using thunderbird without opening the file in GUI.
Thanks
Dennison

Can't "Print multiple files" or "Print bin files"

I had PSE6 installed on my 'old' PC and never had any problems. Then I had my PC upgraded and now I can't print multiple files from the editor or organiser. The photos appear but have a red circle-like icon in the top-left of the thumbnail.
I can print single photos from the editor. I have updated my printer driver with no change. The printer works fine from other applications.
I know this is possibly not a PSE6 problem, but would appreciate any light that can be shed on fixing this problem.
I am running on XP Pro (was on SP2 before but new system has been installed with SP3)
Thanks in advance.
Leonie

Barbara,
Thanks for replying! I am using a Mac (OS 10.5 and Photoshop Elements 6)
I went to one of Adobe's help pages and tried to follow the instructions below so that I could print multiple photos on one sheet. However, I cannot find any "Organizer" or "Editor Print" dialog box in my Photoshop Elements software. Plus, I do not know what "Photo Browser" or "Date view" are. And the "Remove" button does not seem to be available.
The guide appears to be of no help, and I am currently lost. Are the directions below not for a Mac? Is there a book I should buy for Mac?
Bruce
Print multiple photos
You can print multiple photos using the Print dialog box in the Organizer. You can access this dialog box from the Editor Print dialog box.
1. Do one of the following to open the Print Selected Photos or Print Photos dialog box:
In the Photo Browser or Date view, select one or more photos, and choose File > Print.
In Full Edit, Quick Fix, Guided Edit, or any other workspace mode, open the photos you want to print and choose File > Print Multiple Photos.
2. To add more photos, click the Add button .
3. To remove a photo from the print list, select its thumbnail and click the Remove button .
4. Choose Individual Prints from the Select Type Of Print menu.
5. Choose a print size for each photo from the Select Print Size And Options menu. Click the forward and back buttons to see each page of the print job.

How can i print my files from mi iphone 5 throught the airport express?

How can i print my files from mi iphone 5 throught the airport express?? i have the last iOS version installed and also the last firmware version of the printer. the printer is already connected to the USB airport express and when i look for printers in airprinter there is no printer found. i have an HP LASERJET P1606dn(i think that is supported by the airprinter).

In order to function with AirPrint, a printer must connect to the network wirelessly.
Even if you have an AirPrint compatible printer, iOS devices will not be able to print to the printer when it is connected via USB.
So, you have two options:
1) Reconfigure the printer to connect to the network using wireless only and the iOS devices should be able to print that way....assuming that you have up to date drivers for the printer installed.
2) Leave the printer connected via USB and then use a third party App like Printopia installed on your Mac as a "workaround" to (hopefully) allow the iOS to device to be able to print. If you want to give this a try, there is a free trial for Printopia, so you will know if it will work before you buy. You must have a Mac running on the network in order for Printopia to function correctly.

Orarrp can't print pdf file directly to printer

oracle remote print utility (orarrp) can't print pdf file directly to printer.
we expect orarrp utility can handle ".rrpa" file (i.e. pdf file generated on the application server) by directly print the file to the client's printer, i.e. invoke the acrobat reader on the client side, display the the printer selection dialogue, after confirmation print the pdf file, then the acrobat reader close automatically nicely.
However we are disappointed as the acrobat reader startup and display the pdf file content but does not print and does not close.
After testing the problem several times, there are some findings:-
Finding (A):-
(a) for the success of direct printing of pdf file, a physical path must be provided; we have tried 2 methods:
1) using drag & drop to copy the pdf file directly to the browser
2) open pdf file in the browser directly using browser menu-->File-->Open.
(b) for the failure of direct printing, a virtual path is involved and we have also tried 2 methods:
1) when web.show_document() is used
2) enter the url to the URL bar of the browser,
eg. http://appsvr.com:7777/report/test_printout/APPSVR1094707.rrpa (this is a virtual path/url)
Finding (B):-
(a)when the physical path is used, a temporary pdf file is generated in the same directory where the rrpa file exists in the application server,
e.g. in application server: d:/printout/yyy.pdf is generated for d:/printout/xxx.rrpa when direct print occurs
(b) however when the virtual path is used, there is no such temp "pdf" file generated and direct print failed.
May be when virtual path is used, orarrp utility don't know where to generate the temp "pdf" so direct print doesn't occur.
So, anyone has similar experience or further queries or has solutions, please join.
Thanks for your attention.

Hi,
It is really late to give response this post. But still who ever refering to this post for the same issue this solution is useful for achieving same in background:
Even same can be used in smartforms, for getting spool request in PDF format as well which will decrease the size of file when printing in SAP printer.
ct_tline is PDF output:
DATA: lv_pdfsource TYPE xstring.
FIELD-SYMBOLS:<p> TYPE x. " <p> type any.
LOOP AT ct_tline INTO cs_tline.
ASSIGN cs_tline TO <p> CASTING TYPE x.
CONCATENATE lv_pdfsource <p> INTO lv_pdfsource IN BYTE MODE.
ENDLOOP.
* ->Create spool request in PDF format
CALL FUNCTION 'ADS_CREATE_PDF_SPOOLJOB'
EXPORTING
    printer = 'LOCL'            "Printer name supporting PDF device type
*   DEST     =
    pages    = 1

Can I open psd file made in photoshop cs3 with photoshop ps2?

Can I open psd file made in photoshop cs3 with photoshop ps2? Thanks in advance!

Actually you can open a CS3 file with smart filters in CS2
the only problem is CS2 will not understand the Smart filter and flatten it.
If you leave the smart filtered object alone in CS2 save the file and it should still be a smart filtered object in CS3

In domain environment standard users can't open .psd files

in domain environment with non admin users; getting this error: http://imageshack.com/a/img543/9085/cdnu.png
only administrators can open .psd files
what permissions needs a standard user to open .psd files?

did fw work previously to open psd files? - no, only admin users can open psd files wiht fw or ps.
do you see that error with all psd files? - yes, all psd files give this error, no error given jpeg or png files
are those cs6 psd files? - yes.
what happens if you right click fw>click 'run as administrator'? - same error.
i have to give local administrator rights to users that they can work with psd files.

QuickView, Preview.. etc. Can't Display PSD files

I've been having this problem for some time now - as far back as can remember with OS X.
When I try to view a psd file, (prior to Lep) in Preview or Xee, all I get is the transparent Alpha Channel - ie usually a solid blank neutral gray or checker board white and gray. And as of Leopard (and Snow Leo), this situation now includes Quickview. I get no actual image, or sometimes part of an image displayed, but never the full image that is displayed in PS or PSE.
The ONLY exceptions to this problem I have found is an ancient app called ACDSee v1.6.9 (2001) and Quicktime Player. Both display psd files perfectly.
The preferences to save Image Previews: Always Save, Icon, Full Size, Mac Thumbnail, Windows Thumbnail.
Am I saving psd files wrong somehow so that the default system apps can not display psd files properly?
BTW - this problem is completely consistent on EVERY system I have tried it on regardless of the OS X version (Tiger, Leo, Snow Leo) and Photoshop version (PSE 2, 4, 5, 6; PS 7, CS1, CS2).
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. This is a very irritating problem..
TIA

This isn't an issue or something you are doing incorrectly, PSD is an Adobe format that is not widely supported. You need to open it within your Adobe application, such as Photoshop.

"Can't Save the File. Can't Print the File" error in Illustrato CS3

I get the error "CAN'T SAVE THE FILE. CAN'T PRINT THE FILE". In Illustrator CS3
According to adobe this is an issue of having more that 28 spot colors, so I went to the swatch palette and pulled the fly-out menu out and told it to remove any unused swatches which took me down to 6 spot colors, but I still get the error when trying to save it to EPS format, which is the format I have to have for the ripping program for the vinyl printer in my sign shop. Saving it in AI format causes no issues.
Is there still something I am missing?
Thanks
Roger

I appreciate your comment, I see what your saying.
However...my issue is...I am making a vehicle wrap on a full size van for a radio station and it consist of pictures of a clouds for the background with two pictures of music artist that are associated with the kind of music this station plays, then there is a big round logo of the radio station that involves three spot colors (Purple, white and one of which is technically the black "K" ribbon) along with the web address of the station but it is of the same colors of the radio station logo...then there is the corporate logo that utilizes another spot color (blue)so as you can see I need the spot colors that I'm using.
So just to make sure I'm clear...I can only have 28 different individual colors, even though I have photos involved in the rendering? How can I make that work because photos obviously have more than 28 colors in them. It doesn't make sense because you can do a live trace on something in literally hundreds of colors.
Would it help if I flattened the photo work from photoshop before I move it to Illustrator? The reason I ask is because when I go to save and choose EPS the next save dialogue that comes up...down at the bottom there is two exclamations that one says something about embedding fonts, which I'm not concerned about and the other is something about there is some artwork that needs flattening.
Please bear with me here cause I am definitely a newbie!! My boss threw to the wolves on this adventure and I am learning by reading and trial and error.
Thanks
Roger

Can't print pdf files after upgrading to Adobe Reader XI

Hi,
I can't print pdf files after recently upgrading to Adobe Reader XI.
Two error messages appear:
1.- Error when starting the application because it couldn't find LXBBGF.DLL. Re-installing the application can solve the problem.
2.- Can not load "LXBBPRP.DLL". Using defaults. Error: 126
I can print other files (word, etc) with the same printer.
Thank you for your advice

Hi Pat,
Finally I followed the instructions from another similar discussion on this web site. Unfortunately I can't find it anymore...
I first uninstalled the Adobe Reader XI and then intalled an older version (Adobe Reader X). Now I can print pdf files!!
Thank you anyway for your advice!
