Loading Printer Profiles

Hi, I've just loaded six ICC printer profile onto a Graphics Art application and now I need to load the same profiles on about twenty other computers. Someone told me that I could just record a script to perform this task. So, I opened Script Editor, clicked Record and....
Open the application, opened a new document (Color Management is grayed out when no file is open),opened Color Management under Canvas in the Main Menu, clicked on the printer icon, scrolled down to "Get profile from disk", went to Library/Color Sync/Profiles/ selected and loaded the profiles.
However, the script only reads...
tell application "Corel Painter 8"
activate
quit
end tell
I would highly appreciate any help, references, past posts, etc. I am starting from scratch and researching as I am writing this post.
Joe
Power Mac G4 Gigabit Ethernet Mac OS X (10.3.9) 1.5 GB Ram, ENCORE/ST G4, Tempo SATA, ATI Radeon 9000, Adaptec 4000

OK, I just did all of the loading in the Finder from the Library/Profiles folder into a ICC Profile folder inside of the application. It works find. Thanks.

When Soft Proofing in LR4 most of my loaded printer profiles are not visible

I am running LR4 and CS6 on an HP desktop with 4Gig Ram, Win 7 Home, Profiled Monitor using DataColor
In CS6, all my loaded ICC printer profiles appear when setting up the soft proofing...
In LR4, most of the profiles do not appear...
The problem is that I print to an Epson 7600 CMYK printer with UltraChrome Ink and mostly on Canvas so I need to proof for that environment.

Photos of the two different pull downs are attached.

Not sure what makes you think the Epson 7600 is a CMYK printer, but it isn't. You may be running a CMYK RIP attached to it, but the printer accepts RGB data, not CMYK. The only reason I can think of needing to profile in CMYK would be if you were using profiles generated for a press. I'm sure there may be others, but can't think of one off the top of my head.
Well you can send either RGB or CMYK to the printer but you have to first setup the proper driver for either. Unless you are proofing (make my Epson simulate a press sheet), I can’t think of any reason to send it CMYK data. The limitation is the driver in terms of what you send it. With a 3rd party driver (might be a RIP, might not) it can be possible to send CMYK data to the Epson. Epson bundles the ColorBurst product for this purpose (press simulation, use of CMYK profiles).
Since the Lightroom path is solely RGB, it can’t do anything with CMYK data. So the profiles are filtered out of the list. And don’t expect this to change anytime soon or ever. If CMYK is your game, well you need Photoshop or some other application to handle this data. And you’ll need another driver. So in context of this post, CMYK is simply not a possibility and that is why the profiles are not accessible.

Unable to load icm printer profiles in Lightroom 5

I am unable to access correctly loaded RGB printer profiles in Lightroom 5.
In the print module when color management profile "Other" is selected no loaded profiles appear; and Lightroom usually freezes.
Using Photoshop v6 on same computer I can access all loaded printer profiles. I have reloaded LR5.
Does anyone have a solution or work-around for this problem?

The "Include Display Profiles" checkbox is at the bottom of the list that comes up if you click "Other..." in the Lightroom Print Job panel. If this is the point where Lightroom freezes you won't get to it of course. So then the question is what prevents Lightroom from loading that list? Maybe someone else has suggestions, so hang on for a while.
Anyway, whatever the extension, the point is that the profile in question has to be the correct one for that particular printer/paper/ink combination. Apologies if this is stating the obvious, but you don't really have a choice between several, you just pick the right one. They install with the printer driver and are named for instance "Epson <model> Premium Semigloss" and so on, different profiles for different paper types.
Or you can make your own profiles. I believe the ColorMunki, for one, lets you create printer profiles as well as monitor profiles.

Printer Profile will not Load

Hi,
I am using Windows XP Pro. I have Lightroom version 1.3.1 and I just set up an Epson R2400 printer and loaded the Epson profiles. In LR's Print module when I select Print Job > Profile > Other I can select my printer profile for the paper I want to use, but in LR the selection reverts back to Managed by Printer. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Paul

I'd set up a brand new trial catalog with just a couple of photos. The reason is, printer info is contained in the catalog, not Prefs, as far as I can tell.
From my tiny catalog, I found the following:
_globalSettings = {
draftModePrinting = false,
imageSharpening = 2,
imageSharpeningOn = true,
printingProfile = "/Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter/ICCProfiles/Pro38.profiles/Contents/Resources/Pro3 8 PGPP.icc",
printingResolution = 240,
renderingIntent = "Perceptual",
units = "inches",
usePrintingResolution = true,
So, this tells me what I printed one of the exported files in the previous Catalog. Probably better to start with new catalog that's not an Export in Catalog format, then check to see if there's a file path after trying to hit your custom profiles.
Perhaps a PC person can post the path of his or her custom files from the same source, the catalog. (Onna Mac, I just drag it onto Text Wrangler.)

How do I load Icc print profiles into p/s cc

can't load icc print profiles into photoshop cc

Well, that's not much info.
Have you rebooted both the Mac and the printer after the installation? Which printer make and model? What exact version of the OS?
Are you sure they are in fact printer profiles? The printer driver expects true printer profiles specific to your combination of ink, paper and ink. Otherwise they won't show up in your list.
Where exactly did you obtain the profiles from. Do they have the proper extension?
Etc.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop and of Bridge, machine specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, what error message(s) you receive, if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc., someone may be able to help you.

Mark Goodwin LRPS Aug 28, 2014 4:14 PM
I had a problem and needed to upload a HP Printer Profile.I down loaded it from the site then opened and placed in the Mac: Library/ColourSync/Profiles folder. I then restarted the computer and restored PS CC separately. I was able to find the profile under the View>Custom> drop down and select it. But when I came to the print stage the profile was not to be found in PD Print. I also trued installing the profile via Username/Library?ColourSync?Profile folder. But still no luckHelp please?

I thought I had solved the problem when I came across a new HP App that specifically claimed to solve the problem people were having with iPrint: "HP ePrint Home & Biz", but that does not work either. It gets as far as registering the App but then will not complete the verification (just will not open HP ePrintercenter.com). But in that case I think the problem is that my printer (Photosmart C7280) does not have the eprint capability. But it IS listed as compatible with the iPrint App (http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/ePrint-Print-Apps-Mobile/hp-iprint-app-help-not-finding-printer/m-p/827... )

No Canon printer profiles in CS5

Canon Printer Profiles do not appear after upgrading to Mountain Lion.
I upgraded the Canon drivers, still no success.
Canon techs suggested that I had to upgrade my CS5 to run with Mountain Lion.
I've tried to find just where one would find the upgrade, again no success.
I can also not chat with Adobe, probably because I don't have CS6.
Can anyone guide me to where I might find where to upgrade CS5?
Thank you

greg sahli, I'll bring you up to date.
"What puzzles me is why OS 10.8 only affected the Canon profiles, and didn't interfer with all the others." prompted me to call Canon again. We reinsalled the drivers, again without success.
The Tech lady, unsure of the solution, suggested I print with the printer managing color
When I told her I was able select the Canon paper I use, she said that would be the profile.
There aren't any Canon profiles in the Library>Printer>Canon folder.
Apparently, with Mountain Lion, the old Canon profiles are not loaded.
At any rate, I printed a photo using the printer to manage color and got some great results.
That's the answer to 2 days work.
I wish to thank you for your efforts and guidance in helping solve my problem.
Have a nice summer.

CANON PRO-1 PRINTER PROFILE ACCESS PROBLEM

I own a Canon pro-1 printer and I am trying to access my third party profiles from within the printer setup/printer profile window, but I am restricted to selecting from only the Canon's Pro-1 titled profiles for example, Canon pro-1 <FA> 2/3 fine art paper photo rag . All of my profiles are located in the same location, Windows/system 32/spool/driver/color. Where do I go to change my printer's settings so that I may access all of my printer icc profiles? I noticed that the Canon profiles have an .icm format, while my other profiles read .icc.
Thank you for your help.
Mark

All of your printer profiles must be in the folder that you specified. I just bought a Pro-1 printer and my printer profiles total seventeen for the Pro-1. Your Hahnemuhle or other paper mfr profiles must be in this same folder for windows to find them. If you think you are missing some, I would re-install the printer driver, which is where the software loads the icc profiles to begin with. You have to download other paper mfr profiles from their own sites for the Pro-1 model.

Add printer profile to Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0

Hi
I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0 running on a Windows/7 64 bit system. I print to an epson 1400.
I wish to print a photo from the PSE editor. Unfortunately the editor does not allow me to choose the appropriate printer profile for the epson 1400 & the paper I have loaded.
The profiles are correctly installed in C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color; and they are available to other programs, like MS Photo Viewer. But PSE editor does not display them as a choice.
PSE 7.03 does allows me to specify a printer profile. After pressing control-P I am presented with a PRINT dialog box. Among other things, I choose:
Color Handling: Photoshop Elements Manages Colors
Printer Profile: presents many options, including:
- working RGB - Adobe RGB (1998)
- working CMYK - U.S. Web Coasted ....
- working Gray
- and many others,
but no Epson profiles.
For Epson Premium Photo Paper Glossy I want to use the SP1400 1410 PGPS profile provided by epson.
Does anyone know how to get PSE 7.03 to allow this choice?
thanks
John

Thanks again for the helpful reply.
I have not previously calibrated my monitor. I am looking at that now. but
have avoided it because:
   1. Adobe recommends (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/333/333356.html) that LCD
   displays not be calibrated.
   2. The colors on my Dell 2007WFP are the same as on the back display of
   my Nikon D80 within my ability to differentiate. And they are good!
   3. The colors produced by the Epson 1400 were way off for some skin
   tones (specifically brown skinned people - about half of the folk who I
   photograph). This was not a minor adjustment issue. And sometimes they
   were off in the Green direction, other times they looked red or orange, more
   in shadows than in highlights.
   4. The skin tones printed from Picasa were very good (short of excellent)
   while the skin tones from PSE 7.03 were completely inferior - I did not
   suspect a problem with the monitor calibration or the printer - PSE was at
   fault.
Ok, now I used the calibration tool that seems to be part of Win/7 - I got
to it via the control panel:display. I made no adjustments to the monitor -
it seemed fine.
I would like the printer to duplicate what I see on the monitor. prints are
a bit lighter than what I see on the screen.
I am printing now with the following parameters:
   1. from PSE Editor
   2. Photoshop Manages color
   3. Printer Preferences
      1. Premium Photo Paper Glossy (I use epson paper & inks)
      2. Color Management: ICM & No Color Adjustment
   4. Printer Profile: SP1400 1410 PGPP (thanks!)
   5. Rendering: Relative Colourimetric

Have new iMac OSx10.8.2, and when I connected my Epson Stylus pro3880, loaded printer drivers, and tried to print, the printer utility opens, then crashes. Any ideas? (it worked fine on my last iMac)

Have a new imac OSx10.8.2, and when I connected my Epson Stylus pro 3880, loaded print drivers, and tried to print, the printer utility opened and then crashed; happened several times. Any ideas? (it worked fine on my older imac)

I believe so. the driver version I have is 8.64
The person gave me the instructions to reset the printing system and I followed it. That's what corrected the printing drop down windows.
I am also having trouble finding the downloaded icc profiles for the papers I use. I see them in the Color Sync Utility, but not in the drop down window for Color Management. There is a thread on this forum relating to that, but I don't understand how to "copy" the profiles and put them elsewhere.

Print profile not in illustrator, but works in photoshop - CS5

I'm sure I'm just missing a checkbox somewhere, but I can't seem to find it and no one else seems to be asking the question.
This print profile works great for me in both illustrator and photoshop. My coworker came over with a purplish print so I went over to show him how to use the profile.
I shut down illustrator, started it back up and loaded the file. Hit print, and went to color management > Printer Profile: ...but the profile wasn't there. In fact, only about half of the installed profiles are there.
I went to his photoshop and the profiles all show up as they should. I verified the profile is in the correct place, same as the help file says for windows 7.
It works on some of our computers, but not on this one. The only explaination I can come up with is he's checked a setting somewhere that disables certain profiles, or maybe disables the ability to add new ones...just in illustrator.
Any help on this? I'm stumped.

Doesn't look like mike actually read much of the problem there. That's actually for a mac, I mentioned I was able to load the profiles, and syncronizing color settings doesn't change the profiles available it just makes it so all the software treat the profiles in the same way. I did learn something though.
I didn't know that only certain profiles show up though. That's interesting. I have the same printer installed 3 ways. Direct through IP address using the post script driver, through our server using the PS driver, and direct with PCL6. All of them allow me to choose the profile. My coworker only had it installed through the server as PCL6 (not really what he wanted anyway, but he didn't know it).
So I quick installed the PS driver through the server and that one works fine. His other driver still doesn't. So that's odd, but thank you. Your comment lead me to the correct solution.

RSPC Variant does not exist - Could not find or load print parameters

We are on BI 7.0 (support pack SAPKW70017). We recently freshed test system from production.   After the refresh, we have problems opening all the process chains.
1. When I go to RSPC to open a process chain, I get many messages like this:
Variant &0000000067180 does not exist (there are different variant numbers)
Message no. DB612
Diagnosis
You selected variant &0000000067180 for program RSPROCESS.
This variant does not exist.
2. When I go to SM21 to check the system log, it displays many entries like below:
EJ F Could not find or load print parameters for step 1, job BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER/09134500
Documentation for system log message EJ F :
An error occurred during loading of the print parameters for a
background job step.
The print parameter record may have been deleted even though there was
a still a step that needed that data. This is an error as the
reorganization of the print parameters should prevent this from
happening.
To fix the problem, edit the step and save it, copy the job, or
schedule a new job. The print parameters will be regenerated in all
these cases.
3. I applied the OSS note 1169659 - Correction: Process variants not entered by BDLS.   The Basis rerun BDLS. But it did not fix the problem.
Would appreciate if someone could provide any help.
Thank you.

Hi Rebecca.
1) Please verify if exist process types called 'unknown job'. If exist: delete process types called 'unknown job' in your process chain. To do that please remove the chain from scheduling (menu bar > process chain > remove from schedule), afterwards switch the detail view on (menu bar > view) > right mouse click on the process type "unknown job" > displaying scheduled jobs > delete that job. After deletion of the 'unknown jobs' activate and schedule your process chain again.
2) After the removal of the 'unknown jobs' please check if the error messages with the missing variants pop up when calling your process chain disappears. If not, please implement and execute the attached report Z_FIND_JOBS_WITHOUT_VARIANT which deletes the jobs without variants.
I have already attached report as Report Z_FIND_JOBS_WITHOUT_VARIANT, you can download and create the report accordingly.

How do you use an outside Lab ICC Printer Profile in PSE 12?

I have an image that I scanned in from an old print then I edited it using PSE-12. Now that I've completed the editing and retouching I plan to have the image printed by an outside that has the ability to read ICC Printer Profiles designed for their printers embedded in the image. My proble is I don't know how to add a particular ICC Printer Profile to a image worked on in PSE-12. If I was using Lightroom or PS-CS5 or 6 there is a straight forward way to accomplish this goal.
Is there any way to accomplish the same objective when using PSE-12?

Thanks MichelBParis. I must be getting old (I'm 78) and I completely missed that when I was in Dry Creek Photo. In fact that is where I get all of my ICC Printer Profiles from when I'm using either Lightroom or Photoshop CS. What I'm doing is tutoring a friend on the use of PSE-12 (although I do own a copy for my own use) and I was trying to set him up to use ICC Printer Profiles and avoid letting the labs do "Automatic Color Adjust). I had many images ruined in the past just because the lab did an automatic color adjust until an operator schooled me on what was happening. I'm now a part time photographer and I never send an image to be printed without first making sure I have an applicable ICC Printer Profile embedded. and request the lab to turn off their automatic color adjustment.
Thanks again for the perfect solution.

I have an HP Officejet 7210 all in one printer, have loaded Printer Pro to IPad, get successful test pages in the Print Pro App but can't print emails (or anything). error message is No AirPrinter found. How can I get connected?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If you're using the Printer Pro app, you're not going to use AirPrint services.
They are not the same thing.
Are you using the 'Open In' option to get the email into Printer Pro for printing?
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/printer-pro/id393313223?mt=8
Once installed, Printer Pro appears in the "Open In..." list on your device. This lets you print documents from Mail, Safari, ReaddleDocs and many other applications on your iPad that supports this function.
Using "Open In..." approach you can print files from many popular online storages: Dropbox, MobileMe iDisk, GoogleDocs. It just a matter of several taps to download your file via free Dropbox, iDisk or Google Docs application and send it to printer.
