CS4 printing problem after changing printers

Windows7
Photoshop CS4
printer was HP Officejet Pro 8500
have many files created with this printer installed. They printed successfully, except for "usual sporadic" error of "needing to install a printer before able to print". Would shutdown Photoshop, bring it up and print.
Installed new printer HP Officejet Pro 8600.
Files created when 8500 in use will not print on 8600. Get same "usual sporadic" error, except shutdown doesn't resolve problem.
New files created after 8600 installed print fine.
Any ideas how to solve this now BIG problem?

On a hunch, try going through the printer selection process then press Done.  Do this twice, but don't print.  Then try to print.
If that doesn't work, after selecting the printer twice, save the PSD and shut down Photoshop, then restart it and load the file.
There was a glitch back then where printer settings were getting "staged" in some intermediate place, so that one literally had to make changes twice to get them to "stick".
If the above doesn't work, once you've selected the printer, try going through the [Page Setup] twice.  I know there was a combination that would "flush" the changes through.

  • I have vertical lines when printing even after changing cartridges.

    I have vertical lines when printing even after changing cartridges. There are no lines when copying, faxing or scanning, only printing. I have cleaned the glass, scanner and even dusted where the toner cartride slides in.  Any suggestions?

    Sorry but I have worked on laser printers for over 20 years and never encountered your issue.  That is of course if you are explaining it correctly.  When you make a copy to be printed or print a reports page from the printer or send a print job to the printer, if in all these cases you get the line, then yes the issue is either the toner cartridge or the fuser.  If you make a copy to be printed and it prints without the line (Put original in adf, press copy button and print should come out), then you have one weird unit since it does not make sense since the print formatter on the unit whether making a copy or printing from the computer or unit itself uses the same hardware.  Now to test if the printed copy has a line then just put a sheet of paper on top of the feed tray and do a self test from the printer.  When the back edge of the paper enters the printer, quickly open the toner door to stop the printing.  Remove the toner cartridge and look at the image below.  If the defect is present the toner cartridge is the issue and if the image below does not have the defect, then the fuser needs to be replaced.  Best I can do.  Good Luck.

  • IPhoto 08 contact print problems - after 5 images. prints pt a screenshot

    iPhoto 08 contact print problems - after 5 images. prints pt a screenshot

    Okay - So, I teach photography and have my students print contact sheets from iPhoto version 08.  I have one student (out of forty) having the following problem (I have removed preferences, reinstalled iPhoto, used the iPhoto updater for 7.1.5, reloading the printer driver and upgrading the system software to 10.6.8 {I teach in a high school, so no funds for newer software})
    The problem is isolated to one student - the others on the same machine do NOT have the same problem.  When this student selects more than 5 images, the resulting output looks as if he has taken a screen shot - the palettes on the left of the frame show and the titles he has inserted (using Batch Change) are moved on to the pictures.
    At this point, I am going to let him screenshot his submissions, just wondering if anyone else has had this problem.
    Thanks!

  • Printing Problems after Reader 10 install

    Recently deployed Reader 10 to about 300 workstations using Group Policy.  Several machines are no longer able to print to some of the network printers.  These printers are HP printers using the Universal Print Driver.  When trying to print we get an error and the Adobe Reader application crashes.  It will however print to other network printers that are using an older device specific driver, printing to the same print device.  Have downloaded the latest HP driver, but it has not helped the situation.  The printing worked fine with Reader 8 and Reader 9.   Anyone with an Idea?

    Sorry only know Windows: Edit (menu)>Preferences>General>Application Startup>Enable Protected Mode at startup.

  • Printer Problems after upgrade to Lion

    Does anyone have this printer problem after upgrading to Lion. A perfectly functioning laser printer on my network prior to upgrade - now the network seems to drop the printer and show it as "not connected" approximately every 30 minutes ???

    Hi Paul,
    Been away and just got back to this issue.
    Thanks for the info. The OKI site has now posted a list of all their Printers and their relative drivers for compatibility with "Lion". My machine is due an updated driver from OKI in Mid Decmber according to this notice.
    Meanwhile, as the printer does work with some tweaking I guess I will use the work around until the new driver is available. My legacy printers that i use for special jobs both work and as I do not have the disks for their drivers I am loathe to re-set the printer system at this time.
    Thanks for your assistance in this issue.
    Regards,
    Mike, Rustington.

  • Concerning Epson Printer 4880: after changing the Ink from Photo Black to Matte Black I'm not getting the Epson Software in Photoshop and Lightroom. I can not select the paper medium, I don't see my profiles. What is wrong?

    Concerning Epson Printer 4880: after changing the Ink from Photo Black to Matte Black I'm not getting the Epson Software in Photoshop and Lightroom. I can not select the paper medium, I don't see my profiles. What is wrong?

    That is priceless!!!  Thanks!  I sure needed a good laugh after spending/wasting hours & days trying to either get my c6280 to give up on its Ink System Failure fixation, or find a decent replacement.  Unfortunately I need the Smart Web Printing feature that I guess only HP has, or I'd try a different brand. And now even HP has very few models with that available.
     My error msg is a little different from those previously stated, but close:  0xc18a0201.  Even tho there were frustrations with my c6280, I did like several of its unique features which are hard to find now under $100.  I hate how HP (& I suppose other brands also) are CONSTANTLY changing models & then of course ink cartridges.
    Oh heavens, I've had the c6280 a whopping 2 1/2 years!   I'm sure they want us poor slobs to have to buy a new one every year & a day!  To say nothing of the exorbitant prices for ink.  And now if this one is really dead in the water, I have SIX unused #02 ink cartridges which I cannot return---I got them in a combo pack, & for some reason have wound up with THREE lite pink & THREE lite blue cartridges, while having to buy extras of the other colors, that ran out before the others!!!   Yeah, & what's with that not being able to print in BLACK if a color runs out????
    Anyway I really loved your essay!   It's a classic!  And says it all!  I hate that we have to be 'slaves' to the electronic 'wonders'!!!

  • Leopard printing problems on several printers (Am I the only one?)

    Since installing Leopard shortly after it was released, I've had flakiness with printing:
    - With Tiger, when I printed, I could open the printer's window, and see the print job queued. The job would finish, disappear from the window, and everything would be fine.
    - When the job was printing, the printer icon would appear in the Dock. When the job was done, the icon would disappear from the Dock. Simple.
    With Leopard, printing has worked, but I have never seen a print job appear in a PrinterProxy window. I print, the printer outputs the job, and PrinterProxy is always blank. The printer icon appears in the Dock, and stays there forever. I found that I could ctrl-click on the icon and select the Auto Quit option (Hooray!), but that only worked for a while. Then the icons started staying in the Dock again. When I click on the Dock, there is no more Auto Quit option... just the "Application Not Responding" message. I have to force quit Printer Proxy after every time I print.
    What's stranger is how long it takes for the PrinterProxy app to start up. The icon in the Dock bounces for well over a minute. Sometimes, the job finishes printing before the app is launched. If I switch between apps using Cmd-Tab, I can select the PrinterProxy app, but it never actually displays; instead, I just revert to the current window.
    This is true for every printer I use, and as a traveling consultant, I use several. It is true whether I am printing via Airport, or over a direct Internet or USB connection.
    The printers that are permanently in my Printer List are:
    Canon i9100
    Brother MFC-8840
    Epson Stylus Photo 220
    HP LaserJet 1320N
    HP LaserJet 8800
    HP LaserJet 6570
    HP Color LaserJet 5550
    Adobe PDF 8.0
    All of these have the same problems. What's worse is, when I have a printing problem, there is no way to diagnose it, since the print jobs never show up in the PrinterProxy.
    I have reset my printing system many times. I have deleted and re-added my printers many times. I have downloaded drivers from the manufacturer's sites, and reinstalled Leopard's default drivers. Nothing makes a difference. Strangely, after updating to 10.5.2, the Auto Quit problem went away for awhile, then returned spontaneously.
    At the thread below, I show some of my system and crash logs from a prior discussion. Someone was helping me with the problem, but after asking me to post my logs, he seems to have dropped off the thread.
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7013209#7013209
    I can't believe this problem is endemic to Leopard. I know many people who seem to use Leopard without any problems at all. (They even print once in a while!) And yet, as a fairly advanced user, I can't believe I'm the only one having this problem! My system is pretty plain vanilla, with no weird mods, hacks or apps. Pretty much just straightforward creative and productivity apps. I use it daily for business, so I try to keep all wacky stuff off of it.
    There must be a solution, short of doing a clean install. Can anyone help? Are there PrinterProxy-related files I can delete when I reset the Printer System that might help resolve this? Prefs?
    Thanks,
    David

    I'm having exactly the same problem with a Lexmark C760.
    When I inspect the Activity Monitor while opening the Printer Icon from the Dock (or press the Button "Open Print Queue" in the "Print & Fax" System Preferences), I can see the Printer Icon as "Printer Proxy (Not Responding)" marked in red in the processes list. The Dock icon bounces for quite a while, and after about 2 minutes, a Printer List actually appears under the PrinterProxy application and the process in Activity Monitor changes its name to "(null)" and its color to black.
    Though there is no entry in the PrinterProxy list when I print something from another application while keeping the window open, I can select "Supply Levels" and the correct information appears, so it seems to be functional.
    It also seems that there are several copies of the drivers remaining, as the application in the Dock is named "Lexmark C760 (4)", probably from my attempts to remove and reinstall the driver. Is there some interference with old installations of the drivers that still lurk somewhere, hidden in the depth of the many libraries? How can I get rid of the previously installed drivers for good?

  • Printing problems after installing OS X  version 10.4.8

    I reciently upgraded to OS X version 10.4.8. After doing so, my Dymo Twin Turbo Label Writter won't print. I also am having problems using my Epson RX700 All-In-One Printer Scanner where the scanner cannot be found.
    Both of these printers worked flawlessly prior to this update in version 10.4.6.
    I have tried re-installing printer drivers, deleting the printers and re-adding them and cannot seem to get them working correctly. I have even tried doing a printer reset from the printer setup utilities.
    Does anyone know how to fix these issues?

    Start by downloading the 10.4.8 Combination (Combo) Updater from Apple and re-updating.

  • Printer problems after 10.4.11

    Hi,
    after updating my Power Mac G4 to 10.4.11 I'm experiencing printer problems with all of my printers (HP, canon, Apple), no matter what application I'm using.
    for example in Word 2003 I get the error message:
    "Word cannot print due to a problem with the current printer".
    Similar errors occur in other applications, so I'm guessing there's something wrong with my complete printer system.
    Any ideas?

    i'm having the same problem. can you please explain how you fixed it. thanks soo much chris

  • Reader 10.0 Printing Problem - Font changing while printing

    Dear all,
    can anybody help me on my printing problem with Adobe Reader 10.0 ?
    While printing a pdf I cannot do anything else, it is not possible to touch the mouse
    because when I do this, the font is changing while printing to something like grecian.
    Can somebody help me on this ?
    Reader 9 did not cause this problem.
    Thanx and best Regards, Travelplan24

    I have the same problem, but I didn't realize it could be set off by my working on another task. It is also triggered when the pdf has scientific notation, or a very extreme change in font and font size. E.g., text in boxes, algorithms, etc. seem to trigger the problem.
    I have reinstalled my print driver (several times, latest on Sunday), and reinstalled Adobe Reader (now 10.0.1) but the problem remains.
    Printer:
    HP Officejet 6500 (E709n Series) wireless, now on USB.
    Document properties: Most recent font conversion - yesterday:
    Producer: Distiller 4.0.2 for Mac
    PDF version: 1.3 (Acrobat 4.x)
    Fonts: Helvetica-Neue, Type 1, Encoding: ANSI and Roman
    The font is not converting into Greek. E.g. "Problem-Solving Process" became "Qspcrfm . Tpnwjoh!Qspdftt"' with the kerning overlapping characters.
    The font 'conversion' has happened many, many times on a wide variety of pdf files in the past 6 months. Never had the problem before. I had downloaded new Reader, and purchased the new printer -- I do not know which change created the problem.
    I will cease doing anything when I print as a temporary workaround, but that is not a good solution.
    I sure hope you can figure out what the bug is. Thanks in advance.

    Hi Kaushal,
    Have you tried the option of going to Direct Editing and changing the logo.
    For this goto System Administration-System Configuration-UM Configuration-Direct Editing.
    Check the following properties.
    <b>#Defines the logon image
    (Type: String, Default: '/logon/layout/branding-image.jpg')
    ume.logon.branding_image=/logon/layout/branding-image.jpg

    Give path of your desired image in ume.logon.branding_image and <b>restart the server</b>

  • Printing problems after installing the Epson Printer Driver 2.16

    Has anyone experienced any problems after installing the Epson Printer Driver 2.16 through Software Update? I am having problems printing. It denotes an error message, specifically the rastertoescpii.app isn't working?

    Oops, wanted everyone to know that the driver that Software Update downloaded and installed was 2.18, not 2.16 (which was the last one that worked for me). I just got done downloading the 2.18 driver directly from the Apple support website and installing it. Guess what? My printer is now working and everything is fine. If you are having issues, I suggest this route. Guess I solved my own problem, but hope this helps someone else.
