CS4 File Printing Problem

After recently experiencing a transient power outage I am having a problem printing a particular file from Photoshop CS4. The system seems to have recovered well from the electrical outage, with one exception. When I try to print a particualr file that I had been working on, I get the foillowing message.
The Vista-64 operating system recognizes the installed printers (two), my other apps have no problem printing to the default printer and opening a few other Photoshop files does not produce the same problem. In other words, the problem seems file specific. The question is how do I remedy the problem with this important file ? Duplicating its many layers in a new file does not solve the problem.

Have you tried the standard Tech response "have you rebooted the computer since you made changes"?
When you open up the PS print window does it list the correct printer?
Yes, I have rebooted and everyting else on the computer is happy with the printer setup. I've also reset PS preferences. It seems to be a file problem.
No PS print window opens- After the error mesage window is dismissed I am back in editing mode for the file.
I think I am going to have to create a new document and drag all the layers from the subject file into the new file and hope that clears up the problem. As I mentioned, selecting all the layers and using the Duplicate Layers command to a new file did not solve the problem.

PS - update: I Created a new file, dragged all the layers from the problem file to the new file and the printing problem disappeared. Do not understand it, but when dealing with a probably corrupted file understanding is a stretch.

Photoshop CS4 file saving problem...

Photoshop CS4 file saving problem: When no file name is specified, Photoshop saves file to the root directory of the drive instead of the current folder. It auto names the image with the name of the folder that was active. Can this be fixed?
BTW: I was using "save for web"--not sure if it that matters.

Bug reports should go in the main forum.
And yes, SFW has it's own file code so that is a very important detail.

Premiere CS4 - File Linking Problems

For some reason Premiere is mixing up my imported After Effects CS4 files. For example, while Im working it will suddenly associate my After Effects file named "SceneA" with the file named "SceneB". If I try importing "SceneB" again it brings in "SceneA" instead. It will do this with several of my files and switch everything up. Im only working with 4 After Effects files and am scared I'll have 20 or so files and it will start mixing those up, which will be a disaster.
Anyone else experiencing this?

I import several files straight into after effects for editing (multi tga, jpeg, psd, etc), then import the AE file straight in PrPro for ading text and organizing. To work around the problem I had to put each AE file into different folders to keep PrPrp from mixing them up. Never had this problem with CS3, but doesnt sound like anyone else is experiencing this, which leads me to believe its something with my computer, I dont know.
I am running windows XP and have a second operating system (also windows XP) installed. Had to work around a virus that took over my computer. Could this be a contributing factor I wonder? Would delete the 2nd operating system but it wont, so cant test that theory.

CS4 Extended printing problems

I am having problems with printing from CS4. When I go to print and it doesn't matter which printer I am sending the image to...... I get 2 different screens in this order....."Before you can perform printer-related tasks such as page setup or printing a document, you need to install a printer." and then I get.... "Could not complete the Print command because of a program error." Needless to say... I have printers installed (all drivers up-to-date) and have no problems like this in any earlier versions of Photoshop.
Also in the "Print Window" there is no image unless I hit done, and then it comes up as a "negative & backwards image" in the window........and of course, will still not print.
I am on MacPro 2x2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel with 4-1Tb hard drives, 7gigs of ram, Leopard 10.5.6 and am up to date on all software.
Any Help out there?
Thanks in advance. Mark

Hi,
I realize this is an older post, but I am having the same issue. When you say you talked to tech support, which one? Apple, Adobe, Epson?
I have narrowed my issue down to my Epson 1270 printer. Even after I installed to newest drivers (as of 6-8-10) i still get the error "could not complete the print command because of a program error".
I can print to any other printer on the network (HP Laserjet 2100 tn, HP Officejet 5510). But when I try to choose the Epson Photo Stylus 1270 (that is shared through USB), i get the error: "could not complete the print command because of a program error"
Furthermore, once I get that error, Photoshop will no longer open any files. I then get the message "could not complete your request because of a program error" whenever I try to open any files in PS CS2.
The reason I say I narrowed it down is because I tried disconnecting the Ethernet cable from the network (LAN) and it worked fine (after I restarted).
So I plugged it back in and unplugged the printers from the network one-by-one. The Epson was the culprit. As long as the Epson is on the network, Photoshop locks up.
If the drivers are up to date, and I reset Photoshop's prefs settings, Why am I still getting this error.
Using Mac Mini 1.25GHz PowerPC G4, 1GB ddr sdram OS X 10.4.11).
Photoshop CS2 version 9.0

Adobe CMM and Photoshop CS4 File Info problems

I installed the Adobe Color Management Module several days ago.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3618
Today when I opened the File Info dialog in Photoshop CS4,I got a blank black window. Same went for the Kuler window and other extensions under the Window menu. Other panels such as the palettes and toolbox were fine.
I went through reset prefs,reinstalled PS,and reinstalled my video driver.
Same problems.
Uninstalled the Adobe CMM and the panels returned to normal.
I don't know exactly what happened,but something this forum should know about.

Chris,I downloaded and reinstalled the CMM and the problem repeated.
File Info: blank, as well as the Kuler, and Connect extensions under the Windows menu. Additionally,any custom panels installed via Configurator also went blank.(although I had uninstalled those on my first round of troubleshooting)
Again as soon as I uninstalled the CMM,I got the File Info, Kuler, and Connect windows back.
This is on a Toshiba A205-S5843 running Vista SP1
I also tried the CMM on a Toshiba A75 (Windows XP)with a trial of CS4 Extended. There were no problems on that configuration with the CMM installed.
I don't know what it is,but thought it should be passed along.

CS4 and Printing Problems

I have just upgraded to Photoshop CS4.
I am running Mac OS 10.4.11 on a G-5 iMac.
I have a high end Canon CLC color printer/copier.
I have spent hours on the phone with Adobe (spoke with guys in 3 different countries) and with Canon.
All drivers are current and my system has all updates.
I can not print to the Canon within CS4. I can from CS2 and every other program and have.
My partner has a (intel) MacBook Pro running OS 10.5x.
He can print from C4 to the Canon.
Has ANYONE experiences any problems printing to a network printer (not a bonjour printer) from CS4 in OS 10.4.11??
My fear is that CS4 really needs OS 10.5x.
I am still running 10.4.11 because I am a Freehand power user.
Thanks for your help.

This is a high end color network printer/copier (Canon CLC 1110).
It is connected via ethernet to a switch thru a router (Airport Base Station) (which is connected to a cable modem).
My computer is connected via ethernet to the switch. (Not via airport)
I can not directly connect to the printer. Other designers need to print to it as well. They have no problems because they have not upgraded to CS4.
My partner can connect via airport. He is on a MacBook Pro running OS 10.5.4 and CS 4.
My issue is... Does OS 10.4.11 really work with CS4 on a G-5? (The documentation says so, but...)
While I can run the app- I can not print from it to the network (LDP) printer.
I can print to a bonjour printer (HP Laserjet 1320n).

CS4 File Import problem

I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and whenever I import an MP4 video file into a new or exisiting project, the program stops responding and I have to close it.
(I drag the file in most of the time but I have also tried to locate the file and add it via the program menu)
I have no trouble using any other features of the program..
Can anybody help me to fix it?

Acrobat 9 mixed orientation pdf file print problem

I have a pdf file with 10 pages or so. The pages change from landscape to portrait every so often. When I tell it to print, the file will only print until the orientation changes, then it will quit. Is there a way to get the file to print completely?

CS4 file merging problem

Hi Everyone,
I hope somebody can help me with this one.
I have 2 sites each with it's own root folder, each was started as it's own site using it's own the selected root folder.
The 2 sites share the same template, with the same spry assets, menu bar etc...
2 problems,
First, Somehow the files are "merging" in DW on me, so that when I make a change on one template it changes the template in the other root folder for the other separately designated site.
Both sets of files were stored on my desktop, so I copied one set of files to my documents and in doing so it changed some things around, which leads to my second problem(s)
One template lost the banner, footer, and side bar images that I had inserted (not a big deal to restore)
The other template in the other root folder lost the code for the spry tabbed panel that I had inserted and I'm not sure how to get that back in.
Can somebody please help me with this?
Thanks
Mike

Mike
As a guess, it could be that you are working in both sites at the same time, and DW has a hard time with that. If you are going to work on site A, then in your Files Panel, it must be Site A listed in the drop down box. Other wise you may be saving a file for Site A in Site B, and from there the calamity just exculates.
But that is just a guess.

Bridge CS5 using CS4 files cache problem

If I use Bridge CS4 on a directory and subsequently open the same directory with Bridge CS5, Bridge insistes on rebuilding thumbnails and previews (as indicated on the bottom status line). If I subsequently reopen the directory in Bridge CS4, it again rebuilds thumbs and previews - however only thumbs seem to be rebuilt. The Preferences in both versions of Bridge are "identical". The bridge cache files are maintained in the image directories.
The cache construction seems to be quite fast (faster than anticipated) - I am not sure what, if anything, is being rebuilt.
Is this an expected operation?
This presents some difficulties in that I have 530,000 images (7 terabytes) on Bridge CS4 and the reconstruction of the files would literally take weeks to rebuild.

as there supposed to be seperate programs and independant of one another this is surprising 'not'
I have been onto adobe thru there support link regarding bridge issues and they
advise to uninstall bridge cs4 using there ceanscript.
well its a fiddly tool and no mention of just removing bridge cS4 it wants to remove cS4EXT too,
which i'm not readt to remove, plugins etc......
anyway, cant help, but there was a bridge CS5 patch released yesterday.
i have noticed that some of issues no longer seem to occur
so it may be wise to download it as it didnt auto download.
also i have seen the same issue you state so your not alone.
not sure whether the patch addresses the issue as ive only had it updated a few hours

Illustrator CS4 file save problem

Recently, when I try to save an Illustrator file to a server or locally, instead of replacing the file, it shows this dialog and creates a duplicate with a "1" appended. Any ideas?

Ah, thank you! I never thought of that since I only have 1 artboard.
But I saved again under a different name and made sure it was unchecked. It worked!

Can CS4 import printing presets from CS3?

I found the preset folder in the CS3 folder but nothing in there were caller printer presets. I see presets for workspace, swatches, and many other things but not printing. We just upgraded here and I have about 20-30 presets that I REALLY do not want to have to recreate from scratch again!

Yes
You open up CS3
File>Print Presets
Select the Preset and SAVE
Open up CS4
File>Print Presets
Select Load
Find Saved file
Done

Why do my files print as a thumbmail from Photoshop CS4

Recently using Adobe Photoshop CS4. My files started printing as thumbmails only. I believe it is a known glitch in the program. Is there a way to work around it?

Shot in the dark here but worth a try. Try resetting the prefs by keyboard or the manual way. Read this:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776?tstart=0
Also change the default printer to something else other then what you print on. Like mine is set in windows as Microsoft XPS Document writer in windows. So when I go to print I choose in the print options my real printer, that is on a network, to do the printing. This has cured a lot of printer problems with CS4. worht a try and you can always change it back in windows and restart CS4.

Capture Noise Print (problem) - Soundbooth CS4

Hello,
I am having a "Capture Noise Print" problem with Soundbooth CS4.
I have 2 audio files:
File A (this is my noise print) I recorded a 4 minute file (.wav) of the ventilation system.
File B (this is the audio file that I want to improve: I want to remove the background noise of the ventilation system.
Q: How can I remove the background sound from File B using the noise print from File A?
I can only achieve this when both sounds are on the same file. Soundbooth CS4 doesn’t let me do this process when there are on separate audio files...(the box for "Capture Noise Print" is grey and cannot be selected)
Thanks for your time.

I have the exact same problem... I do this..
1. Select 5 seconds of silence
2. Click Capture Noise Print
3. Select select a silent area
4. Click Noise..
5. Click "Preview".. whether On/Off buton is on/off, AND with Use Capture Noise Print selected, I hear no reduction. Even at 100%/3dB
If I uncheck the "Use Captured Noise Print" option, then noise is removed, but I get the robotic voice
CS5 latest updates.
Any ideas?
TIA
EDIT:: Interesting.. closing SB, then reopening seems to resolve the issue. Every so often it does the same thing, so I have to close/reopen SB.

Help with add file name problem with Photoshop CS4

Frustrating problem: Help with add file name problem with Photoshop CS4. What happens is this. When I am in PS CS4 or CS3 and run the following script it runs fine. When I am in Bridge and go to tools/photoshop/batch and run the same script it runs until it wants interaction with preference.rulerunits. How do I get it to quit doing this so I can run in batch mode? Any help is appreciated. HLower
Script follows:
// this script is another variation of the script addTimeStamp.js that is installed with PS7
//Check if a document is open
if ( documents.length > 0 )
var originalRulerUnits = preferences.rulerUnits;
preferences.rulerUnits = Units.INCHES;
try
var docRef = activeDocument;
// Create a text layer at the front
var myLayerRef = docRef.artLayers.add();
myLayerRef.kind = LayerKind.TEXT;
myLayerRef.name = "Filename";
var myTextRef = myLayerRef.textItem;
//Set your parameters below this line
//If you wish to show the file extension, change the n to y in the line below, if not use n.
var ShowExtension = "n";
// Insert any text to appear before the filename, such as your name and copyright info between the quotes.
//If you do not want extra text, delete between the quotes (but leave the quotes in).
