Can't recall printer settings dialog from PS Print dialog

I am looking for toubleshooting ideas for my problem - I would like to avoid reinstalling CS at this point.
Problem:
If I try to print to my remote Epson printer (3880 installed on another Windows 7 computer and accessed as shared printer) and if I click on the Settings button in PS CS4 Print dialog box, I got the following error: "Could not complete your request because an error occurred while printing"
What I have:
Two computers. One has Epson printer connected through USB, the other prints to it via network. Both are Windows 7 64 bit, latest drivers
What I found so far:
The printer works fine from LR3 and Illustrator CS 4, only Photoshop fails to print
Other printers, including network printers work fine from Photoshop
This started  to happen after installing CS5 tryout, but I am not positive it this is the cause
The printing worked at some point
If I create PSD file with this Epson printer specified and open it on another computer with PS (which otherwise prints to this printer normally), I get the same error.
What I did so far:
Reinstalled the printer on the PS machine
Reset PS preferences file
Thanks

Unfortunately, I don't remember how I fixed the problem. I think there was some mixup because I used the printer as USB once and via network later. I don't use PS on that PC anymore, but I think I had to use the printer as USB to make it working. I also think the CS5 tryout caused some issues.
So you can try this:
- If you use it as networked, try installing the driver again as USB or vice versa
- If you use CS4 and have CS5 tryout, uninstall CS5
Not sure if it helps, but I don't have anything better, sorry.

  • Print Settings tab in the Print module is missing? (Windows 7)

    The "How To" books always refer you to the Print Settings tab in the print module, but there isn't one in my Lightroom? How do I get around this?

    Not sure which "How to" books you're referring to so hard to answer this.  Which specific settings are you wanting to change/control?
    (..but if it's actual settings within the Printer's control software then it's accessed by clicking on the printer button at the bottom of the panel.)

  • Is it possible to prevent the Print Dialog from waking printer?

    Hi all,
    Although I have a printer attached to my iMac, most of the time I just use the Print Dialog to 'Save as PDF' rather than to actually print. However, as soon as I hit cmd-P the printer is woken up, even though I never use it. Is there an option somewhere that will tell OSX to only wake the printer if I actually send the document to the printer?
    thanks,

    Hi there,
    I think you could create a dummy IP printer, using Generic Postscript for the driver, and set it as your default printer. Then when you print to pdf from your app, having this dummy printer selected may stop the USB physical printer from waking.
    To create the dummy, open Print & Fax and click + to add. Select IP and LPD for the protocol. Enter an IP address of 10.0.1.50, leave the queue name blank, change the Name to Dummy and select Generic Postscript in the Print Using menu. Click Add to complete the queue creation.
    Now set this printer as the default and try printing. Hopefully this stops the real printer from waking.
    One last note. Just remember to change the printer in the Print dialog when you do need to print on paper.

  • Print settings missing from Elements 8.0 for my canon ip4820

    I have the exact installation on my windows 7 pc and I get a detail screen with 5 print settings, on the macbook with Lion I get only 3 settings and I can't bring up the canon printer settings dialogue that allows me to set standard, photo, etc along with borderless, high quality, etc, you get the idea I think.  On mac I only get 1. Select printer 2. select paper size, and 3. select print size.  On windows 7 I have installed the same printer and I get 1-5 which includes also step 2 is a "printer settings" which includes a change settings and brings up an advanced settings box.
    Any Help is appreciated.  

    Well I am using a mac with photoshop elements and I imagine the print settings would be the same whether it was elements or full photoshop.  Maybe someone could provide a helpful response for a beginner here, thanks in advance.  but I'll look around for a more appropriate forum if there is one. 

  • Why can't i send my pictures from the printer to the computer

    I put my memory stick from my camera into the slot on my HP officejet 6500A plus, and it does not give me an option to send it to my computer for my files.  It only gives me View and Print,  Create and Reprint... why can't I send the pictures from that memory stick to my computer from the printer?  Thanks

  • Printer settings on a shared printer

    I'm trying to print from my iMac (10.6) on a shared printer (Epson RX420) connected to my Cube (10.4). Everything works fine, except I can't access the printer settings in the print menu. So I can only print in standard quality.
    What am I doing wrong?

    DLudig wrote:
    I'm using the latest Epson drivers on both macs. The settings dialog is available on both macs when the printer is connected directly to them. It's just not available when the printer is connected to the cube as a shared printer and I'm printing from a remote mac via the LAN network.
    At the risk of wasting more of your time, I'd like to back up a little.
    I can't access the printer settings in the print menu.
    Perhaps this is just a language issue, but could you explain what you mean by "the print menu"? When I invoke File -> Print for my Epson printer that is shared over the network, I see a somewhat large dialog box with fields starting with "Printer", "Presets", "Copies", etc. and then eventually one with the name of the application. If I click on the blue triangle to the right of the "Printer" item, the dialog box collapses to just "Printer" and "Presets". Do you see anything like that?
    One other odd thought: Assuming it's compatible, do you have the same printer driver installed on all your Macs?

  • Problem Printing with iMac from XP Printer

    Just got my iMac yesterday and it runs well. Using the iFelix website someone gave me hear, I set up my iMac to print from an HP Officejet 7310 connected to my windows XP machine. I was able to connect to my workgroup, and computer, and find the printer and connect to it. The driver, however for my computer is not there. I tried the Officejet 9100, and generic print device, and when I print I get the following:
    %!PS-Adobe-3.0
    %RBINumCopies: 1
    %%Pages: (atend)
    %APLDSCEncoding: UTFS
    %%Title: (M
    That prints out on the first sheet of paper, and then about 10 pages go through the printer totally blank, and then it will print that again. Not sure why it says Adobe, I do have Adobe CS 1 installed, could that be interferring maybe?
    Anyways, I went to HP's site to download the driver. Here is the site I went to. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=219&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&produc t=391182&lang=en
    I downloaded the first choice under driver, the "HP-All-in-one printing only web installer for Mac OSX." After I ran the file and it said it installed, I went back into my printer utility in the iMac and went to change printer model for the shown 7310. The officejet 7310 still does NOT show up in the list. I am unsure what to do and am totally lost, as this is my first iMac. Can someone please help me; I need to print quite frequently.

    I think I might have figured it out. I went and downloaded something called ES-Ghost Script, Foomatic, and the HPIJS install files. After running ghost script and foomatic, I ran the HPIJS installer here on an iMac at work and when I go to printer utility and select the brand/model, I now see "HP OfficeJet 7300 Foomatic/HPIJS (recommended)" in my choice of model names. When I get home I will have to try this and I hope it works! I am still kind of confused as to why it printed out what it did using a different driver and saying Adobe. I hope CS1 didn't screw up something.

  • Can't print PDF's from new printer Brother HL-L2340DW

    Installed new wireless Brother printer today. Can print word, excel, as well as webpages just fine, but cannot get any PDF's to print. I open these docs in Adobe Reader. Doesn't matter whether I have them downloaded from the web, or saved on my pc. Doesn't say it's spooling or printing at all. Doesn't give an error message either. Brother tech support was no help - said problem is with Adobe. Please help?

    Hi auriekitkat,
    Please check the issue after connecting the printer using USB cable.
    Please let us know the Operation System installed on your computer and the exact version of Adobe Reader.

    Hi,
    You may either add the device and the drivers will obtain via Software Update, for full functionality you may also install the full feature software from the HP site:

  • My Adobe PDF printer is gone from my printer and device folder

    I have Adobe CS3 which I had to reinstall with my new hard drive.  I have Windows 7, HP Pavillion DM4, using Firefox 7.0.1.  I downloaded Adobe Reader X as a fix, so that is on my computer also.  I deleted all the previous reader versions.
    With my old hard drive, I was able to customize my Acrobat experience online by downloading pdfs online to open my Adobe Professional Acrobat, print web pages directly, or from print preview to Adobe Acrobat.
    I wasn't able to do it when I resintalled all my software onto my new hard drive.  I tried customizing this experience myself to fix, and I screwed it all up - so bad, that now I don't even have the adobe pdf printer in my printer list.  My Adobe Acrobat Pro says version 8.0.  I have pressed the update button from the software and it says I am updated.
    So, basically, I need someone to help me get my pdf printer in my printer list, and get my firefox to allow me to print from webpage, download pdfs and open in Acrobat pro.  Someone must be familiar with how to customize firefox, too, I suppose.

    Is it a 64-bit system? Have you tried a repair? Keep in mind that AA8 can work on Win7 (at least 32 bit), but it is not certified for opertation and you will be told to upgrade by Adobe.

  • Adjusting printer settings to disallow the printing of an additional page of "descripti​ve" informati

    With each page I print on my HP Officejet Pro 8500, Series 909a, (whether email messages or selected page(s) of projects) an additional page prints giving this list of descriptive info:  Filename, diretory, template, title, subject, author, keywords, comments, creation date, change number, etc., etc.  The printer only recently began doing that without any adjustment on my part....that I am aware of, at least!

    i don't see anything wrong with the code...

  • Any solution yet for printing a border from the print menu HP?

    I assume you are referring to:
    +Menu > File > Print > Border: Single/Double Hairline/Thin+
    Not something that I myself use, so I tested it and you are right it does not appear.
    I tested it on a pdf.
    The reason it doesn't show up is because it is underneath the white background of the page. This is a bug in the way pages are formed up by Pages. It also causes problems with watermarking pages.

    Tell Apple about it. http://www.apple.com/feedback/pages.html
