Elements 10 won't recognize my printer

I have printed many times with the current printer, Epson XP 810, and recently paused it in the middle of a job. Now I get the error message that I have to install a printer. I changed the printer name to a shorter one and I still get the message.
Thanks.

Which operating system are you using?
Other than upgrading to photoshop elements 12, you could use the adobe dng converter 8.6 to convert the files to dng copies, which pse 10 should then open.

Computer won't recognize network printer - HP OJ Pro 8600

My computer and printer are both connected to the same wireless network, but my computer won't recognize the printer (using the host name, IP address, or otherwise). It's maddening, because it worked when I first set it up a year ago and just recently stopped - I uninstalled and reinstalled everything. My iPhone can pick up the printer and print wirelessly, but there's an issue when I try to connect my computer using the HP software.

Hi @petersaaron , and welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're having issues utilizing your printer from your computer. I would like to the help with that!
I would recommend starting with a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I would then suggest downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

imac 10.6.8 won't recognize usb printer but laptop same OS does. Perhaps because i removed lion?? all latest drivers installed tried two different usb cords system profiler doesn't see printer under usb. Can you help?

Repair permissions and restart your computer. Also, check System Preferences/Printe & Fax. Make sure your printer is listed.

Help! My computer won't recognize my printer!

I'm a college student, and I have tons of papers and files that I need to print. However, my computer won't recognize my printer. It is working and set up, I plugged it into my roommate's computer (a PC) to see if maybe the USB cable was bad; that wasn't the case.
I've tried to manually add the printer, but I don't have any Printer folder whatsoever in Utilities. If I go into System & Preferences, Printers & Fax, and try to click on the Set Up Printers button, nothing happens. I'm at the end of my ropes. Please help!
Also, the .pdf files for a lecture that I need to print aren't working as well; they worked just fine on my roommate's computer, but when I open them with Preview on my iBook, it is just blank. Does anyone know why this is happening?
Please help me, ASAP! Any advice/anything is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

need more info:
what kind of printer is it?
do have the drivers for it?
do have the printer setup utility?
what version of the OS do you have?
if you have OSX at least, then :
if you can access the utilities folder, you should be able to find the Printer setup Utility. If you do not have that , the n you need to archive and install :
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
if you do have the Printer Setup Utility, then
open that up, it will open a window called " Printer List"
click on " Add"
- that will open a window called Printer Browser
- if the printer is plugged in and powered on, you will see the printer name listed there.
- select it , then click on " add " in the bottom right
- if you do not see any printer listed in the printer browser, then try a different usb port and try again.
- if you are able to add the printer, then try a test print, it should work with a default driver.

Airport Utility cannot find my Airport. It is nearby, no interference, and worked for about 9 months. The Airport still provides wireless internet for the household, though it won't recognize the printer -- plugged in or wireless.

How can I get Airport Utility to find my Airport? It is nearby, no interference, and worked for about 9 months. The Airport still provides wireless internet for the household, though it won't recognize the printer -- plugged in or wireless.

Are you using the latest version (5.5.2) of the AirPort Utility to access the new 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn)? Your tagline has it that you are running OS X 10.4.6. You would need at least 10.5.7 to run the utility. I assume that you are running the latest utility on another device ... correct?
When having difficulties accessing the AirPort thru the AirPort Utility, try the following, in order checking accessibility with the utility after each step:
o Check the local connection. If you are trying to access the AirPort wirelessly, make sure that you are connected to its wireless network before running the AirPort Utility to administer it. If you are still unable to access it with the utility, temporarily connect your computer directly using an Ethernet cable to one of the base station's LAN ports.
o Power cycle the base station. Remove the power adapter's plug from the power outlet, and then, wait 15 seconds before plugging it back in.
o Perform a "factory default" reset on the base station.

Elements 9 fails to recognize my printer?

Elements 9: Printing. I can print from elements and then for some unknow reason, it will tell me it can't find a printer and I must install a printer. This is after I have sucessfully printed. When it tells me that I must install a printer, the program freezes completely. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program. Please assist.

I think I should have answered your question more fully:
When I click Print, it goes to the default printer which is the hp
laserjet, however it also lists several others, here's the order:
microsolf XPS Doc.Writer
Photosmart Pro 9180
hp laserjet
Fax
All are "greyed out" except the Photosmart Pro 9180 which is also linked to
this computer.

My new computer won't recognize my printer (HP4500 Officejet Wireless) in the wireless or wired mode

MY new computer won't recognize my printer in either the connected or wireless mode. When I hit "search for printers" it finds my neighbors wireless printer 100 yards away, and another net, but not mine sitting right beside it.

Hi,
Have you installed its software abd drivers on your computer yet ? Please use the CD which came with the printer. By the way, what is your Officejet 4500 ? It must be G510something.
Regards.

Imac (running 10.8) won't recognize wifi printer

My imac (running 10.8) won't recognize one (1) of my two (2) epson artisan 810 printers when I try to add it to my wifi in the "print and scan" utility. The printer that won't connect was previously connected to a PC running Win7. Could Bonjour have something to do with this? Any suggestions on how to correct this would be most appreciated.
thank you, Michael

Elements 3 won't recognize a camcorder

Have version 3 installed. It won't recognize a Sony digital camcorder which it has in the past. Used both USB and firewire. Firewire works with Microsoft Movie Maker Using Windows XP.
Also have version 4.0 but didn't install it because of the negative comments I read on forums such as this one.
May have to reinstall version 3 to solve problem. Other question is, should I reinstall 3 or install 4? Or should I just buy the new version 7 bundle?
Any suggestions on how to get version 3 to recognize the camcorder? Or, if not, which version is the most stable, etc. I have not progressed to HDV or Blue Ray yet and have no need for this capability. At least, I don't think I do.
Thanks for your input.

Using only the FW connection, as PE cannot work with the USB connection, if WMM can see your camera (is that what comes up, when you plug it in, and turn it on?), it does sound as though something is getting in the way with PE.
I've seen instances, where the exact order of things seem to affect the operation of a Capture operation. These seem to be camera and system specific.
Try plugging in (FW only) the camera, turning it on, letting the Windows pop-up come up and exit out of that. THEN, start PE. Does this help? If not, power-off the camera and unplug it. Cancel any pop-ups about hardware unplugged, should you get any. Start PE. Plug in the camera, and then power it up. Exit any pop-ups, and put PE into Capture Mode. Does this work?
If still no go, then try plugging in the camera, but NOT turning it on yet. Start PE, go into Capture Mode, and THEN turn on the camera. Exit out of any pop-ups. Does this work?
Note: always plug/unplug the camera with the power OFF. Though there has been discussion on this (as most camera FW ports are 4-pin and unpowered), but be safe. No power on, when you plug/unplug. I even turn off power to the computer, when doing the plug/unplug operation, but then one could not have PE going, without always having the camera plugged in, but powered off. Just be careful with the plugging of the FW into the computer. We do not want a fried FW port on either your camera, or your computer. Yes, there is a little "catch-22" involved with my above suggestions.
Steve's suggestion to use WinDV is a good one, and might save you bothering with the test. Most folk do not have a problem with a FW-attached mini DV tape camera and Capturing via PE.
Good luck,
Hunt

I recently downloaded some updates and now my computer won't recognize my printer. How do I fix this?

My computer will not recognize my printer afer downloading some updates.

What updates? What printer? What version of the OS are you running? Information would help.

Airport Express won't recognize TSC printer

We are having a really weird issue with a new 802.11n Airport Express. It refuses to recognize a specific USB printer attached to it (TSC TTP-245c label printer, to be precise). By "refuses to recognize" I mean the printer does not show up in the Printers dialog within the Airport Utility (5.6 in this case... don't even get me started on 6.0, which doesn't even HAVE a printer dialog anymore) and attempting to send print jobs to it fail.
Anyway, the really bizarre thing is that the Airport Express DOES see other USB printers we connect to it, and the TSC printer DOES work fine on other USB print servers, or from a notebook PC via USB, etc... even an OLD g-only Airport Express can see the TSC printer just fine. It's ONLY the specific combination of a NEW Airport Express and the TSC-245C printer that doesn't work.
I'm sure I'll get replies asking me to update a driver, update firmware, etc. So let me save you the trouble... this has absolutely nothing to do with drivers as the print server (Airport Express) itself cannot see the physical printer attached to itself, and the Airport is already running 7.6.1 (though I did try and revert back to 7.5 to see if it made any difference, and it did not). I also verified that the TSC printer is running the latest firmware available for it.
So what do you do when you have two devices that are working fine independently with OTHER devices, but won't work with EACH OTHER? Is there any way to get this information to Apple so they can investigate why their new device is having trouble with this one particular printer model? I've already started the process of telling TSC that they need to obtain a new Airport Express to see if they can figure out what's wrong, but it could very well be a problem on Apple's side... after all, their OLD Airport works against this printer just fine.
All that said, I'm not expecting to get any magical fix from these forums... I'm mainly trying to find out how this can get "run up the flagpole" at Apple so they can perhaps investigate. Is anyone aware of similar problems with OTHER brands of printers? Again, the symptom is simple: Connect a USB printer to the new AirPort Express and it just isn't seen by the Airport.
Any advice appreciated!

I don't think all printers will work.
Have you read this Apple article?
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1253
Still not working?
If your printer still doesn't work with AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule printer sharing but does work when directly connected to your Mac, contact the printer manufacturer for additional information.
As the article states above, you would have to contact the printer manufacturer.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 won't recognize HP Photosmart Premium C410

My HP Photosmart Premium C410 works with all my applications except Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 - which is great for an imaging program!! The printer is defintely selected as default. However, there are two options avilable on the "print" page of PSE and they are very similar - perhaps indicating an issue. The first on the drop-down is "HP Photosmart Prem C410 series fax", while the second (which I have selected) is "HP Photosmart prem C410 series". Every time I try to print from PSE, it starts up the fax process.....!! Anyone any ideas - all advice gratefully received.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Kellerrolf,
Please try to rename the "HP Photosmart Premium C410 series Fax" to "PS C410 Fax". You can change it by:
Open "Printers"
Right click the HP Photosmart Premium C410 series Fax and selecting rename
If it still is loading the fax when you printer there are few more steps that we can try.

Trial version of Elements 13 won't recognise my printer. Anyone else had this problem?

I'm running a trial version of Elements 13 and cannot print either a PSD file or JPG file. I get an error message that it does not recognise the default printer. I'm able to print emails and Word documents, so it is undoubtedly an Elements issue.

Hello,
Sorry for the inconvenience caused. This issue has been fixed in Elements 13.1. Please try updating your application to free 13.1 update.
You may refer to this article for the same: Photoshop Elements Help | Printer errors with Photoshop Elements 13
Let me know if you are still facing this issue.

Elements 2 won't recognize IE version

My Win XP computer that was running Photoshop Elements 2 crashed and I'm trying to move the program to another XP computer. When I try to install, I get a message that I must have Internet Explorer 4 or higher and the installation quits. It fails to recognize IE7 on the pc. Any workaround? I would upgrade Elements, but my wife is comfortable with using 2 and doesn't want to change.

You could try re-setting preferences -- as you start Elements press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (hope I'm remembering that right) and follow through the dialog box.

PS won't recognize "default" printer

This is an annoyance rather than an emergency-I'm on a Mac, I have three printers, and I want to use one in particular for a PS printing task. I fill up the printer with the right paper, then call up the flle and hit "print", forgetting to notice that the assigned printer is the wrong one. So a wasted proof. So I go to Sys Prefs and set the "default" printer to the one I want, go back to PS, pick the file, hit print, and I still get the wrong printer, so I set the print dialogue box for the right one manually, get the print, call up another file, and hit print again. The Print dialogue box has reset back to the wrong printer. Photoshop seems to have its own "default" printer selection system, independent of the overall system preferences. Whether that's actually the case or not, How the heck do I get PS to recognize and use the "default" printer, rather than settling on its own random choice?

Further information: "Default" doesn't work in Illustrator or Photoshop, but it does work in other software, e.g., Apple Pages and MSWord. I haven't tried the system in other Adobe apps, but is this just an Adobe-Hates-Apple-and Apple-Hates-Adobe situation? Or is it just me?
