Cannot print from lightroom

cannot print from lightroom, print is white (background) browserpreview is white browser window shows image
ecdo

I think we need a little more information. What do you mean by browser preview is white and browser window shows image? Are you talking about the Lightroom window? What module are you looking at? I have Windows 7 (but Home Premium) 32-bit, 4 GB RAM, and I don't have any problem printing from Lightroom 4.2. I have never encountered printing problems with previous versions either. Oh, what printer are you using? The more information you can give us, the more likely it is that we will be able to help you.

Dark prints from lightroom

I cannot find a solution to my problem anywhere else so I hope someone here can help me.
When I print from lightroom all my prints come out too dark. When printing from photoshop cs3 or the windows picture viewer the prints are fine. I am printing on a kodak easyshare5500. The printer driver does not allow color management to be turned off, it offers 2 color space options and I have tried both with no success.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to improve my prints from lightroom.

Hi Jason,
I have only two suggestions for you:
1. From Lightroom Open in Photoshop CS3 and print from there. ( a bit of a nuisance, but less of a nuisance than a ruined print and yet another wasted sheet of paper.)
2. I do not know the Kodak easyshare5500 printer or the size that it can print. Make and save a few copies of your pictures from Lightroom with different values on the exposure slider. Then print them all on one sheet and pick the one that looks best. That will also work for your next print too. I always find that my Canon printer tends to print a good bit darker than what I see on screen, so I have got into the habit of boosting exposure before printing. (and that is with a calibrated monitor etc etc etc.)

Cannot print from hp DeskJet F4580

I have just bought my first MacBook with Mac OS X 10.6.4. Great computer.
However I cannot print from the wireless hp printer. I downloaded the latest driver from hp (maybe a fault) and started to install. Everything went as expected untill the setup process of the Printer Queue. Here I add the printer in order to create the Printer Queue, but when I click on the continue buttom I get this warning: Are you sure you want to continue without adding a Print Queue? I finished the installation with a congratulation sign.
Therefore there is no doubt, that the printer queue is missing. However I cannot found out to install the printer queue.
The printer is a socalled all-in-one printer. The scanner function is perfect with the wireless connection. But not the printer function.
I have also tried to connect via usb cabel. The result is the same. Scanner okay. Printer not okay.
The printer works perfect under Windows.
I hope somebody can help me. Thanks in advance.

I'm having the same problem ! The wireless printing works using OS 10.5 on a G4 PowerBook but not OS 10.6 on an intel MacBook. I'm going to get in touch with HP as have used the latest drivers (as you have) - I've re-installed the HP software using Software Update for the latest version - still can't print. USB printing is also faulty so must be their drivers.
I'll let you know if I have any luck !

I cannot print from my ipad. It is connected to the wireless okay. I have only had this ipad for a month and while I am not sure I think it has been okay to print before 2 days ago, when I tried to print and I got the message "Airprinter not found" Has anyone experienced this and if so what did you do about it? I have no trouble printing from my computer.

... Has anyone experienced this and if so what did you do about it?
I rebooted my Airport Extreme.
Try rebooting your router. Make sure its firmware is updated.

Cannot print from web sites after update to FF 7.0.1

cannot print from web sites after update to FF 7.0.1
Printing from my email account (Cox) is OK
System Windows Vista

When my wife updated Firefox to version 7.0.1 she was no longer able to print items from the web such as coupons. She can print from her email (Cox) account.
She is running Vista.
When I updated to Firefox 7.0.1, I did not have a problem. I am running Vista also.
Tried using the Firefox help page but no help so far.
I did notice that on her computer in the "Plugins" for Firefox that HP Smart Web Printing is now disabled and is not compatible with Firefox 7.0.1. She had no problems until she did the update.

Printing from Lightroom (2.5 - 3) into Adobe Acrobat 9

I just wanted to post that I have been searching for an answer about errors when printing from Lightroom to Acrobat. When I went to Win7 64 bit Professional and CS5 Design Premium two weks ago - all the problems started.
Looking at the forums - I found several others with similar problems in a 64 bit environment. I tried their suggestions and none helped. I called Adobe this past week and spent 3 hrs on the phone to be told they didn't have a solution but would get back with me (one can only hope). I upgraded to Lightroom 3 hoping that would solve it and it has not.
When collecting images and going to Print, then printing into Acrobat as a 2/2 cell contact sheet, no images are embedded. In Lightroom 3, a clean sheet appears. Has anyone else experienced this? Even when using a new tiny catalog, the same result occurs.
I am running a PC with quad processor, 4 Gigs of RAM, NVidia graphics card that is two years old - all newest drivers for 64 bit. SATA drives, dedicated scratch disk... etc.
The catalog is new and tiny.
The images are small for testing purposes (only about 6 at 300 dpi).
Luckily, I can do a work-around using Bridge but I use Lightroom for processisng photos and sending contact sheets to clients and need this function. Any help would be much appreciated. If you are having the same problem, please call Adobe and report it.

Ok, I've run some tests: files with full native Canon 30D images (RAW) that had been edited in LR 3 and followed the set up given by Adobe. It failed. Some of the pics came in and retained their file names and some showed just file names and blanks for the pic space. Ok, I'll run more tests and come back to this.
I tend to edit, make JPGs (6 x 4 at 300dpi) and then import those and set up the contact sheet. Running full bore - as explained above, it doesn't work.I'll try multiple JPGs to see if that works.
I'll go back into discussions with Adobe. Their support page is convoluted and expensive. I began under the upgrade of CS5 and Lightroom 3. I'll try again.
I do recommend, if possible, that you edit/resize and control your resolution (I set up the printer box in LR for 200 dpi) and then make your contact sheets as per their instructions. You also might try limiting how many sheets your make to see how that works. Create one sheet, then two, etc. so you can see where the cutoff is for your system. I'm afraid some of this may be hardware and how much info you are asking to be transferred from LR to the PDF.
It is very odd that some are coming in and some are not. There is definitely something flaky in Lightroom to Acrobat. I suspect the coding may not be set up to handle 64 bit and that's why it's failing. As far as I know, the only software that is full 64 bit, at present, if Photoshop. The others are running under the 32 bit environment within a 64 bit OS of Win7.
Is this not true?

Photoshop suddenly does not print to Epson 3880 - PROBLEM: Cannot print from Photoshop After restart error message appears: - "There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopen

PROBLEM: Cannot print from Photoshop
After restart error message appears:
— “There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents.”
• All print commands are greyed out and unavailable — even to call up the printer commands cannot be done.
The printer printed fine until about 2 weeks ago when this error message appeared. Printing continues from Pages, I-photo, preview etc. — only Photoshop fails.
The printer has been turned on and off, as have open documents been closed and open etc.. Preferences reset. Repeatedly I have read through blogs and forums and attempted to contact Adobe — all without results
Epson support struggled to find reason and several solutions were tried and they assume this is an Adobe problem.
Running Mac Powerbook X 10.10.2 / Photoshop CS6 13.0.6.x64
Attempting unsuccessfully to print to Epson 3880
What Adobe support will be of help.

I cannot print from firefox. I can print from open office. It seems to have something to do with when frames open because in IE, I can print a whole page, but when I try to use a print button embeded in a page or frame it does not work.

Cannot print from firefox at all.
In Internet Explorer, I was able to print by pushing the print button, but when opening a frame, like in mapquest, the embedded print button brings up an options window that has print frames options in it, but when hit OK in this box, a second error box comes up with a yellow exclamation point and nothing prints. I have a feeling that it is the same problem with both browsers, but would prefer using firefox. Can you help with this?

Yes, I tried that.   The files were ordered by their original numbers as imported from the camera, but I batched them through Phocoshop to downsize all of them into a more manageable file size.   I opened that destination folder from quick time from where it said select image sequence.   I clicked on the first one and opened it.   The result was a large image with an arrow indicating a movie was ready to go.   When I pressed the arrow, though, I realized it had only imported that one frame so there was no movie.   The files are Jpgs and are about 450 KB each.
    To your knowledge are there any links to iMovie tutorials or quick time tutorials that may address this situation? Maybe there will be one I haven't looked at yet.
    Thanks

Cannot print from Firefox

For some time now I cannot print from Firefox. I thought it might be a glitch after an update, but have updated again since and it still does not work. If I try to print to a printer, nothing happens. If choose print and then save to PDF it seems to work, but then when I try to open the file I get an error message from Adobe saying "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired.". On the other hand, I can print and save to PDF from Safari without any problem. I am using Mac OSX 10.5.8, Firefox 6.0.2.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi,
Please do a CLEAN install:
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a Clean reinstall. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
Note: You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
Windows:
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
Mac: Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
Linux: If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see Install Firefox on Linux. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.

Color shift printing from Lightroom 1.3

Windows Vista, HP officejet Pro L7580 printer, Lightroom 1.3, Photoshop CS3. All that being said and having used Photoshop since ver 5 with a variety of printers I find myself stumped with my latest soup of hardware and software. Screen colors do not print out anywhere close on paper when I try to print from Lightroom. Move the file over via "edit in Photoshop" and print from there and everything is fine. In Photoshop, whether Photoshop or the printer controls the color there is no problem. In Lightroom, however I have no control that I can find. I have no additional profiles so the printer controls the color. Photoshop and the printer are both set to AdobeRGB1998.icc. Other then just printing from Photoshop what am I missing in Lightroom?
By the way Adobe, in the future think about either Lightroom or Bridge but not both.

Hi,
Just a reminder for those who missed that thread (I guess this fix also
applies to LR 1 although I didn't check):
[FIX] Darker prints and color shifts when printing from Lightroom 2
(this is for Windows - Mac users please look here for a similar fix:
http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr_13_print/lightroom_print.htm )
The problem :
When printing RAW or TIFF files from LR2, you get a printer output that
is much darker than it should be and that presents various color shifts.
I'm using an Epson Stylus Pro 3800 with the latest Windows driver
(6.50 - which is rather old by the way). The workaround described below
works for me under Windows XP SP3. It should also probably work with
other systems/printers/drivers. Use at your own (minor) risk.
The "official" procedure for printing from LR is as follows:
1. Do not let the printer manage colors and select "Other..." from the
profile dropdown list and select the ICC/ICM paper/printer profile that
you want to use.
2. Click on Print... in LR which opens the Print Settings dialog.
3. Select the options you need and the paper you're using.
4. *Disable the color management from the driver's side* (in Epson's
drivers, "Mode | Custom | No Color Adjustments").
5. Print
Unfortunately, *this doesn't work* for many of us and this produces a
print that is dark and has color shifts as mentioned above. Note that
the same image prints correctly from QImage or Photoshop CS3 (that is,
the printer output corresponds to what you see on your calibrated
display).
Apparently, although color management has been (allegedly) disabled in
the driver, there's something wrong between LR and the driver which
makes that both LR and the driver are still trying to manage colors. In
other words, the "No Color Adjustements" option of the driver doesn't
seem to work with LR.
The workaround (found after hours of hair pulling and paper and
expensive ink wasting):
In step #4,
1. Instead of selecting "No Color Adjustments", set Mode to "Custom |
ICM
2. Click Advanced...
3. Check "Show all profiles".
4. Select Driver ICM (Advanced)"
5. Set *both* the "Input profile" and the "Printer profile" fields to
the very same profile that you specified in LR.
That is, if you specified Pro38 PGPP (Premium Glossy Photo Paper) in LR,
then also select Pro38 PGPP in both "Input Profile" and "Printer
Profile". This has actually the same effect has disabling color
management in the driver (what "No Color Adjustements" should normally
take care of).
That's it. When printing, you'll get exactly the same color results as
when printing from QImage or Photoshop. No more dark prints. No more
color shifts.
One might think that the bug is in the Epson driver but in that case,
QImage would have the very same problem. So I tend to think that the bug
is on the Lightroom side.
Hope this helps.

I cannot print from web pages with mozilla, can print from internet explorer and all other programs. I have a Cannon Imageclass MF8100.

I cannot print from any web pages with Mozilla as my browser. The printer gives me a blank page. I can print from internet explorer and all other programs. I have a
Cannon Imageclass MF8100 printer. I spoke to Cannon as I thought it was a Cannon issue and it is not.

Try the '''''reset''''' described here: <br />

I cannot print from Adobe on My Mac

I have tried all I know to do, but I cannot print from Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 from my Mac running Mac OSX - 10.5.7. I have two different printers - a Cannon MF4150 & an HP Color Laserjet 2550. When I click print, the preview is not available and it just goes into queue and never prints. I am also running VMware Fusion -- I cannot get it to print from the Windows XP virutal machine either. I am using just the standard Adobe Reader 9 in the Windows side. I don't know what could possibly be wrong. The Windows XP side is printing through a sharing mode with the mac side. Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong?

I've tried that multiple times as well as resetting the printers themselves. I've deleted and re-added the drivers as well. Any other suggestions?

Is it better to print from Lightroom or Photoshop

Just wondering if one produces better results.

Hi pipflash ,
This article will should clear up any doubt, follow the link Should I Print From Lightroom or Photoshop? - Rocky Mountain School of Photography

Printing from Aperture, and printing from Lightroom.

Hello,
I have noticed when I print from Aperture using my Canon i9950 and a custom paper Colorsync profile, and if I then print from Adobe's Lightroom using the same Colorsync profile and paper, the print from Lightroom is much sharper. The Aperture print is exact in every respect except it is noticeably softer.
Anyone else notice this? And if so is this a recognised problem that may be fixed in 1.1?
Kind regards,
Anil K Solanki

Hi Charles, I totally agree with you. Lightroom's printing features are really excellent. In comparison Aperture almost seems like the printing of photographs was something the Aperture dev team bolted on at the last minute.
I sincerely hope Apple sort out, what for me is inexcusable in a professional commercial app. A few photographers I know are going to use the next release of Aperture as a turning point, if it can't print as good as the Beta Lightroom then they will become Lightroom users and say good bye to Aperture.
Apertures sorting and logging tools really are second to none, but if the print quality is poor, what is the point. I know for a large number of photographers, producing prints is not high on their list of needs, especially if they are supplying prints for publication or the web. But if I want to do what my old fashioned enlarger can do, which is create great prints, then hey I am not going to get it with Aperture.
I know Apple can fix this, I just hope they do.
Anil.

Cannot print from photoshop CC 2014

Cannot print from Photoshop CC 2014

That is the HP printer dialog - not part of Photoshop or under Photoshop's control.
You need to contact HP about this issue, and see if they have an updated driver that fixes the problem in their driver.
