Lightroom 3 not printing

I recently updated my Lightroom 2 with the new Lightroom 3. Tonight for the first time I tried to print as I always did on Lightroom 2. When I hit the print button, in the "layout" pop up: print setting, color management, paper adjustment, and print option all have lines through them. When I click on one of them I get the prompt "The bundle "print setting" (or whichever I click on) could not be loaded because it does not contain a version for the current architecture." Does anyone know why this is? I never saw this in Lightroom 2.

If you haven't done already, try going into 'Print Settings' and reselecting your printer in the Printer drop down box and then saving.
Thanks for the hint. I tried that but didn't help. I then went back to Ian's article on Computer Darkroom and started going through screen by screen to check everything. The problem turned out to be so silly I'm embarrassed to say: for pages to print, rather than "All" being checked, "From" was checked and it said "From 2 to 2", even though I was printing just one page. I can only assume that the last time I printed from Lightroom that is what I specified. I don't recall ever having a program save that particular setting.

Lightroom not printing correct size image

I am finding that my Lightroom 5 prints are bigger than the settings that I input in the Print module. Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong?

Okay, let's see if I can accurately describe everything. I will just run down the list of settings in each drop down menu.
Layout - single image
Image Settings - Zoom to fill
Layout - page p/grid rows & columns 1, cell size H - 6.00 in, W - 9.00 in
Guides - all checked
Print job - only 16 bit is checked
The printer settings are for an Epson R2400 using default presets, enhanced matte paper, best photo. I am trying to print 6x9 inches and I get a 6 1/16 x 9 3/16 inch print.
I hope that is what you need to help.
Thanks

Lightroom 1.4.1 on Jaguar not printing

I had been using LR 1.4.1 on my old G5 running Tiger with no problems at all. Since moving my Lightroom catalog to a new MacBook Pro running Leopard I can't get Lightroom to print to my Epson R1900. LR sends the print job, but when I look at the print queue either every LR print is "stopped" and refuses to print (trying to force the job to resume never goes), or the print queue shows the job was completed immediately though the printer never even blinked. I don't have any problems printing from any other program. Weird thing is I tried printing a LR photo from my wife's iMac (also running Leopard and LR 1.4.1) and it's showing the same problem. Both Macs are using the latest Epson print driver (v6.20).
I've even tried installed the trial version of LR2 and it wouldn't print either. I've tried all combinations of settings, profiles, etc. and none of the LR jobs will print. Even trying to print it via Preview won't work. I've tried printing JPGs, DNGs, CR2s, and TIFFs... nothing prints.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Kevin

I print to a 3800 from a MBP and an iMac.
I'd be inclined to trash the entire Printer folder and reinstall the driver from the Epson site, and do not let software "update" your Epson drivers. Delete the printer from the list, and then add the reinstalled drivers. Probably should throw a restart in there after the install.

Lightroom 2.5 not printing with main account user but prints with a new use

I have been troubleshooting all day. My new epson r280 is not printing with LR2.5 though it prints in other applications fine. Called epson and we are sure that I have the latest drivers, etc. Called Adobe and they had me create a new user in accounts in system preferences-accounts. When I tried printing from the "test user" LR printed with my epson printer. Adobe said the problem was with my system permissions and I had to reset my system permissions. This doesn't sound right to me. I ran disk utility and repaired my permissions but LR still doesn't print using my original user. Genius Book suggests going to Library-Preferences and to delete the plist. Does this sound right? And do I delete the p-list for LR or for the epson printer? What happens when you delete a p-list? Will I lose my catalog in LR? I would appreciate any help on this problem.

Just trying again to see if anyone has any solutions for this question. Thanks

Printer not printing AND Matching Screen colors to Print colors. Any advice is apreciated!!

Hello - I have 2 questions regarding printing to an Epson and also regarding the monitor colors Not matching the print colors working from Photoshop CS4 on a Mac with a Maverick [ 10.9.3 ] OS. My issues are Not about my own printers or software. I have been tutoring a friend via phone in Photoshop; he has CS4 and is working on Mac OS 10.9.3.
1- We found that he could print nearly fine [ nearly accurate colors ] from Lightroom on his computer, version 5.4. But when he tries to print from Photoshop he cannot make a print. There is clear communication between the computer and the printer, as, when he sent the file to print, the printer [ an Epson 3880 ] responded by automatically changing to Photo Black from Matte. Then, it opens the rollers as if to print, but, it them stops and the menu [ on the Printer ] says 'Ready.' The paper is 4x6” Moab Lasal paper 300gsm. This issue of Not printing is only with this Moab Lasal luster paper, for which he Does have the IIC profile, and we always make sure ‘Photoshop manages colors,’ not the printer. To address the issue of the printer Not printing at all using a non-Epson brand paper, we have tried seemingly everything from deleting and re-adding the printer from the Library / Printers, resetting everything [ printer computer software etc ], trying different settings in the Printer window and the Print Settings window. Including changing the media profile, platen gap, etc.
2- My other and more important question is – after we Do get a print, we cannot match the monitor color to the print. [ We havE been able to get a print using Epson brand paper. Which is odd because we have the ICC profiles for both papers ]. To address the color matching issue, he has told me he calibrated the monitor with a Spyder, and here are a few other variables that I can relay that may or may not be affecting his color-issues:
He iS viewing his prints in a dayliglht-rated lighting environment
The monitor is an iMac glossy finish monitor, not an anti-glare
We tried working and printing from both an 8-bit and also a 16-bit color-space and also 16-bit printing
The color shift is slightly but noticeably toward Magenta.
His printer is Not calibrated
Please let me know what else we can do, any known glitches that may be an issue with his older version of CS, any tips you can suggest.
Thanks very much!

I don't have that printer and I'm not on Mac, so someone else has to step in there. Generally a green/magenta cast indicates none/double printer color management. But then I don't know what you mean by "slight".
The Spyders aren't the most consistent and reliable calibrators out there. I had a Spyder 3 sensor that I just threw away because it gave a distinct red cast (I have several other calibrators, so there was no doubt). Another potential problem is that with most calibrators you can only adjust the white point along the blue/yellow Kelvin scale, but not on the green/magenta scale. This is often necessary to get a good white point color. In this case you need to use the monitor's OSD controls, and if possible the "pre-calibration" function in the calibrator to measure and monitor it - if that function exists. And I don't know if this is possible with an iMac.
This is basically a question of getting the white point right, both on the blue/yellow and the green/magenta axis (and luminance of course). The goal is to get a visual match to paper white on screen. With the white point properly set, neutral color balance relates to that, and the rest more or less follows by itself. (In addition you should set the proper black point/contrast for full control, but that's not the issue here).

Printer not printing correct sizes of photos

Canon Pro9000 for some reason does not print photos correctly. I have made all the correct changes on the page setup and no matter what size I choose it prints only a small size photo. If I choose 11 X 14 it prints a photo 7 1/2 X 6. No matter what size paper I choose. It prints well in Easy-PhotoPrint but not in Lightroom 1.4.1 It worked fine before the driver update for Canon Pro9000
System I'm using is:
iMac 24"
2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Printer Canon Pro9000
Adobe Lightroom 1.4.1
Thank You,
Mike M.

Had the same problem with Lr 3 and Canon Pro9000.
Flicked the stroke on and off again - for no reason except someone said that worked. Then I used zoom to fit and it worked.
Which is stupid. I am so sick of having to be in problem solving mode all the d**m time.
Next I'll work on the Wacom driver which freezes in Lr3 from time to time - with a complete lack of consistency.
I wonder why software works so badly these days. Shareholders don't care?

LR 4 - image does not appear in Preview and will not print`

The selected image appears on the main/center panel but not in the preview screen. Printing results in a white sheet of paper with no image at all. The image has been updated to LR 4 - but made no difference. I've served help and the forums (where i saw mention of similar problems, but no comments or guidance on the problem). What am I doing wrong?

The problem began with the installation of LR4. I print directly from LR4 to my HPZ3100. I routinely select "print preview" in the print dialogue box. Now the first print I see the preview and then it prints. If I select a second print job and use the "print preview" the print preview screen comes up blank and never loads. If I try to delete the print job, it just never responds (resolves) so I have to turn off the computer and the printer and restart to clear the print job. if I don't use the print preview, it prints just fine (except that I'm not able to check what's about to be printed). Thanks for any thoughts you have on this.

Bill, if this is only happening some of the time, then we are probably looking at a resource issue. Any pattern in when things won't print? e.g. Certain file type won't but others will? Or is it more of a timing/order thing? e.g. First file prints fine, second does not? VStromee, do no files print for you? Or is it like Bill and sometimes the print and other times they do not? Did you install any new software recently or have any updates to the OS or any application that has printing capabilities?

Epson printer 3880 will not print

iMac 2009
OSX 10.8.5
After upgrading from Snow lipard to Mountain Lion bouth my Epson R1900 and 3880 will not print in Adobe Lightroom 5.
I have checked in the PPD file and the R1900 is listed but the 3880is not. I ran update from the apt stor and also tried the Epsom web site updates and still it will not work. I also tried the cds that came with the printers and I get this"You cant open the application :Epson" because powerPC applications are no longer supported.
Please help if you can. Nemo

Have you downloaded the 3880 drivers? There is a driver for 10.8 listed. You can check the same link for the other printer.

8500 does not show troubleshooter as turned on. It is on and will not print.

Had this printer for many years. No problems. It now will not print. Windows 7 troubleshooter says to turn on the printer and try again. The printer was and is powered up and will not print. I have cycled both the printer and the computer trying to sync them.

Uninstall LR from Control Panel—there may be more than one entry: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, Photoshop Lightroom, Lightroom are all possibilities, then after LR has been uninstalled, log out of the CC Desktop app using Gear / Preferences / Account / Signout, reboot, and then see if LR shows up in the CC Apps list, after you give it a minute or two to contact Adobe’s servers. LR 5.6 is the current version which is probably what the update message is about.

PLEASE walk me through correct settings for lightroom 4 printing?

Im working from Mac OS X Yosemite and my new printer is Canon MG7520. I can't get a photo to look good for the life of me please help with a step by step instructions?? THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
Amateur photographer. need color management help on how to either turn off lightroom or printer to manage the color. I've read a ton of web content but still having issues.

On that printer, I do not believe there are any icc profile, so let the printer manage the color.
Be sure when viewing your photos on the screen to turn your monitor down to 25% brightness to edit your photos esp for printing
Also it is easiest to match printer brand and printer paper brand

Lightroom not showing edits made in ACR

I edited photos in Adobe Camera Raw from Bridge, but when I look at the same files in Lightroom, they do not appear to include the edits. I did verify that xmp files were created when I edited the files in ACR. Why is Lightroom not reading the xmp file and showing the edits?

I appreciate the detailed response. I have been told by a photography instructor that it makes sense to use both Lightroom and Photoshop together and that Lightroom is for end-to-end workflow (which Photoshop is not capable of). I was not aware that Lightroom is only designed for front-end workflow. Is there any formal documentation on this that I can read to understand the purpose of Lightroom?
The Adobe website has some good introductory videos. I think this is a great place to start:
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/george-jardine-on-lightroom/the-lightroom-catalog/
but the other videos can be found behind the Products and Channels links toward the top of that video's webpage.
The recommendation to use Lightroom with Photoshop, rather than LR on its own, is somewhat akin to recommending Bridge + ACR + PS, except it makes less sense to even think of using Bridge+ ACR on thier own without Photoshop. You can do a lot with LR on its own but not quite everything. On the other hand, those specific tasks which you cannot do in LR may be done using some other editing software than PS, including many cheap and even free alternatives, or using older versions of PS even if they are not ACR-compatible with your camera.
When you use Bridge, the Raw conversion and similar types of parametric editing are assigned to ACR and the rest is passed to Photoshop. Bridge cannot directly print or export without calling on another program or utility to do that. It can only view preview thumbnails and manage metadata and issue instructions to other software. ACR cannot paint, warp, use layers, etc - because it belongs to the same basic class of software, as Lightroom's Develop module capabilities.. in fact there is a very close functional correspondence between these two, and deliberately so; so that the image adjustment parameters involved can be inter-compatible.
When you use Lightroom, the Raw conversion and parametric editing can be very efficiently taken care of internally by LR so ACR does not need to be involved. This works especially well for dynamically applying edits across batches of images on the fly, previewing the effect of processing presets (recipes), making use of a full history of the changes applied to each image, and so on, You can print or export directly without leaving the parametric realm, a little as if you were able to do so from inside ACR.
But when an image editing task is required that is not of this parametric kind (such as compositing, detailed retouching other than a little dustspotting, etc) then just as Bridge can pass an image into PS that will be saved as a new file version, Lightroom can also do the same using its own workflow that does not involve Bridge.
The method is very simple: a new LR image version is created based on a brand new working file saved to disk. Ctrl+E or right-click and select "Edit in... Photoshop". and your image as it currently appears in LR, is automatically opened inside PS. Save when you are finished, and the PS-edited changes appear inside LR transparently. Then you carry on working with that, in the same way as for any other image inside LR,

Lightroom 5 Prints are too Dark - We Need a Fix Now!

Hi
Am using LR 5.7
I import images in RAW and convert to DNG.
hen I export as a JPG and print, the prints are fine.
When I print from Lightroom's Print Module, the prints come out too dark with a significant loss of detail in shadow.
Adobe.... This has been a major problem since version LR 1... It is High time you fixed it! I have wasted dozens of sheets of paper due to this problem!!
My screen is a 24" calibrated IPS ASUS monitor.
Windows 7, 64Bit.
Many Thanks
Kind Rgds

Hi Butch
Do a google search for Lightroom Prints too Dark and you will find dozens of posts for all versions of LR. It is a common problem.
There are many hardware and software issues that according to a "Google search" would appear as a universal problem, while in reality, they are far from widespread. I can assure you that Lightroom would not be as popular as it is today if this were indeed a universal problem.
Robert Mack wrote:
I also upload images from LR to a Print Lab and the prints are fine.
Yes, but is your lab making adjustments to the images during the print process? Many do. My labs do not, they simply print the files as they are submitted. Many consumer and "pro"-sumer labs apply auto correction to image files. Most of these labs do not even inform you that they are applying those adjustments.
Robert Mack wrote:
The problem is using the LR Print Module to print on a printer attached to my PC.
I have the same problem with an Epson R1900 and a Mitsubishi
Yes ... and if you are applying the same settings/instructions in Lr for printing, the problem will persist regardless of the brand of printer used.
Robert Mack wrote:
LR had ICM managed by Printer. The Printer has ICM managed by Host.
I did try this using the printer's ICM profile within LR. Still too dark.
This could be part of your problem ... if Lightroom is set for the printer to handle color management by the printer ... and your printer is set to be color managed by the host (i.e. - Lightroom) ... then in actuality, the images you are printing from Lightroom are not being color managed at all. Ideally, you should have Lightroom set to manage printing when you have the printer driver set to "managed by Host" ...
Robert Mack wrote:
No windows apps are adding any additional processing in the printing process as far as I am aware of. The only exposure correction / adjustment was done in LR..... I am choosing the same printer paper profiles in all methods of printing.
You may not be making settings in your Windows apps ... but if your printer driver is set to make auto adjustments by default when printing from these apps could explain the difference.
Additionally, many folks think they are "calibrating" their monitors when they are not doing so as it pertains to printing. Accurate color is only one phase. While your colors may appear true, the monitor brightness may be too much to accurately render a near match of what a printed version of the image would be reproduced.
As trshaner pointed out, not only do you need to render a close approximation of color ... but also overall brightness. Most monitors/displays, even very expensive and high resolution displays, are extremely bright at default settings for rendering a close match for printed material. That overall brightness level should fall within 90 to 120 cd/m2 and be adjusted as needed for your specific viewing environment and papers and printer inks combinations.

Photoshop not printing to Epson R2400 in Snow Leopard

Hi there
I can print from Microsoft Word and Textpad fine. But Photoshop CS4 will not print anything to my Epson R2400. The job briefly appears in the queue, then disappears, with no error message.
When I try and Preview from inside the Epson Print dialogue, it just shows a blank page, so I'm pretty sure it's Photoshop that's at fault, as Previewing a similar job from Microsoft Word turns out fine.
Has anyone else had this error and found a way to fix it?

I've the exact same problem - though I'm using Lightroom 2.4 (64 bit) and Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac.
Printing from Textpad & Pages works fine - but every print from Lightroom and Photoshop Elements just disappears (like Monkeytennis2 described).
I've tried different drivers: the new 6.57 - and the older 6.12 (via Rosetta). The Gutenprint 5.2.3 works, but the quality is just miserable.
This is indeed a strange thing ... and I hope someone has an idea how to fix it.
EDIT: has anyone tried this http://forums.adobe.com/message/2215478 ... ?

Lightroom 3 printing problem

Sometimes when i save a photo as a jpeg and send it out to be printed I end up with a border on the sides or the bottom. i want the photo to fill the frame. i have been all over the tutorials through Kelby training and a book. i'm just not getting it . the margins do not want to set to zero. i do not print at home and have a cheap HP printer. i can set the paper sze to what i want but i still have he problem. Any sugestions will be appreciated.

Lightroom and printing work in ratios so to get your 3000x2000 pixel image (which is a 3:2 ratio) to fit a 14 x 11" print (14:11 ratio) you end up with with edges. So the ratios need to be the same. Best way is to set up a crop ratio in the Develop module Crop tool of 14x11 and crop the file before you export, then you can adjust any cropping to suit.
See this example:

Lightroom 4 Print Problem

I have been trying to make business cards in Lightroom 4. Everything works fine except no matter how I set things up my 2 X 3.5 inch photos print at 3 11/16 X 2 1/8 inch. My printer is set to print borderless 4 X 6. My settings under Custom Package are as in the screenshot below.

Sorry everyone: I solved my problem. It turns out with the Epson R800 you have to create a Custom Size in the Page Setup dialogue (in this case 4X6 borderless) to be able to print the size of photos you want in the Custom Package Layout Style in the Print Module. You cannot use the 4X6 (borderless) (Sheetfeeder - Borderless ) generic setting.
I came upon this as a last resort and it worked. I now have very nice 2 X 3.5 in. business cards. This printer has given me nothing but greif when it comes to what format it will and will not print. I have had to fool it into just about everything. Definitely not user friendly.

Lightroom 3 prints with magenta cast

Hi,
My lightroom 3 prints with all red objects in the picture having a dreadful magenta colour cast, both on my Epson r2400 and on my HP colour Laserjet 2605dn. Printing from window explorer is OK - colours look fine but there aren't so many options for printing available.

Yes, as suggested, go into your printer settings (which you access in LR at Print Module > Page Setup (lower left) > Properties (for your printer). Now this will vary, depending on the make and model of your printer, but for my Canon printer, you access this at Main > Color Intensity: Manual > Set. In WinXP, I needed to UNCHECK Enable ICM (Windows Image Control Management). In Win 7, I get more accurate color with this same setting CHECKED on. You will want to save the correct settings at LR > Print module > User templates (on the left).
If that doesn't solve it, this common issue can have different causes depending on your gear and on your settings, so some experimentation is in order.
What has caused this issue for me:
In LR
> Print module > Print Job (on the right, at the bottom) > Profile > Managed By Printer. Beat suggested this setting. For me, this setting causes color shift and exposure shift issues in prints. If you've already had this setting enabled (I believe it's enabled by default), it may need to be changed. For me, the fix was downloading printer paper profiles from my printer company's website and installing them into Windows as instructed and then selecting the correct one of them, matching my photo paper and using corresponding settings in the printer settings, instead of Managed By Printer.
Another cause for this issue can be failure to use a hardware color calibrator. Even if you have run a software-based color calibration routine and get reasonably accurate color in other programs, using a hardware color calibrator, even a $100 or under one, and carefully following all the calibrator instructions (these devices can make things worse when used plug-n-play) will remove color casts and make prints that are too dark in LR much more accurate, matching print to monitor.
There are likely other causes and fixes as well.
When you get it figured out, type yourself a note listing everything you did and where you found each setting, and save the file. Someday after reinstalling LR, you will need it again.
