Old printer profile removals

How do you remove old printer profiles from
the Customize Proof Condition area under "Device to Simulate:
Every six months new ones come out and the old one need
to be removed.

I don't think that they are different. In my view the "Working RGB' shows the current working profile.

Where are printer profiles stored in 10.9.5?

I have replaced my old, large format printer and want to discard its old printer profiles from the OS. Where are these stored? I'm using Photoshop CS5 with a (new) Canon iPF6400 printer. Can I just drag these old profiles to the Trash or is there some other procedure I need to use? Thanks.

Dragging the old profiles to the trash is all you need to do to get rid of them. They can be in a few places.
/Library/ColorSync/Profiles is the normal location. You can also check the Profiles folder of your user account, they but typically shouldn't be there. They can also be buried in with the print drivers. And those can be difficult to find.
The names of the profiles in the folders aren't what shows up in your apps. So a very vaguely named profile could be one of the ones you're looking for. To check, double click any profile you're not sure of to open it in the ColorSync Utility. Click the second line, Localized Description String. If there's another line named Apple multi-localized description strings, click that one to see what it says. One or the other will be what appears in your lists. For example:
Localized description strings for this profile simply says "Display" in its field below. However, nothing in ColorSync shows up by that name. "CG243W" under Apple multi-localized description strings is what gets used.
I mention this only because some profile names from the desktop are rather meaningless, but those are somewhat rare. Usually, the name is pretty obvious.
So if you can't find the old profiles in the main Library folder, then they're likely in with the printer drivers. Go to the /Library/Printers folder. If your old printer was an Epson for example, and you no longer have any Epson printers, you can toss the entire folder named Epson within the Printers folder if you want to. Otherwise, you have to start digging through the folder of each make to locate them. For example:
In this case, I would look through Epson, Lexmark and Xerox (I already know SII is just a label printer and there won't be any profiles in there). For our Epson 4900, one of the subfolders in the Epson folder was plainly and conveniently named ICCProfiles. All I had to do was empty it. For our now sold Stylus Pro 3800, the profiles were well hidden in a file name xxxx.plugin (the xxxx being whatever its name was). You have to right click on the plugin package and choose to show the contents. Then go through any folders within that and see if the profiles are within that .plugin file.
Yes, it can be much more difficult to find them than it should. So make sure you have a full backup of your system before you start doing this kind of digging.

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.

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.

Disappearing ICC Printer Profiles

I recently switched to Mac Pro with the OSX (5.7) operating system. I also have gone from the PC version of Photoshop CS3 to Mac version of CS4. I had ICC printer profiles for my Epson 4000 printer, which I believe were correctly installed into the Mac, but they have disappeared from my Photoshop printer dialog box. I have run the Colorsync Utility and it find profiles, some of which apparently show "Tag Size is not correct" When I run the utility to find the profiles, none of these profiles are listed. Interestingly, the Epson 4000 profiles do show in the printer module for the Lightroom 2 application. Any suggestions on how I can find and use the Epson 4000 printer ICC profiles?

Ramon, thank you for your comments. The profiles which have disappeared from the Photoshop CS4 printer dialog box are the ones from Epson which purport to match the printer (Pro 4000), Epson paper, and Epson Ink relative to color. On my PC these profiles were generally good, though not perfect. They are not custom profiles produced for my system. I believe they originally came as part of the driver installation. (I have reinstalled the Pro 4000 printer driver that came with the printer, and an updated driver from the Epson website, but this has not solved the problem.) The interesting thing is that Lightroom 2 finds the Epson profiles, so I would think that would indicate that the profiles are still somewhere in the computer. I have explored with the Finder and have used the Colorsync utility. The profiles are not in the usual places I would expect (subfiles dealing with profiles generally), but by using the Colorsync utility, I have found a folder which may contain the profiles, but I can't figure out how to open it (what application?). The folder I believe is as follows: /Library/Epson/inkjetprinter/printingmodule/Pro4000_core.plugincontent/Resources/ICC Profiles. In any event, since Lightroom 2 application can find it there, I assume the problem may be the pointers in Photoshop CS4. In any event, it is a problem when printing to the Epson Pro 4000. Since the printer is several years old now, it is difficult to find any of the Epson profiles still available. It is also interesting to note (and this may be relevant) that the Colorsync Utility does not find any of these profiles, except that it finds a list of problem files which may represent one of the profiles and indicates that the reason it is a problem file is that the "Tag Size is not Correct".

Printer Profiles on iPrint

Hello Forums
Is there any automatic processes that updates already installed printers
on workstations if the Printer Profiles is updated e.g. with another
tray, or do i have to delete the printer and reinstall it manually with
that /ipp webpage?

You can't really push down the new settings automatically. However,
there are a couple of things you can do depending on if this is NetWare
or Linux. If it's NetWare you can rename the printer agent on the
Manager screen. Renaming the printer will cause iPrint to install the
new printer and delete the old printer automatically. When it's
installed with the new name it will pull down the drivers and printer
profile meaning it will get the updated profile with new settings (e.g.
new tray added).
An option that works with both platforms is to create a new printer
altogether and then define printer agent redirection again within the
NDPS/iPrint Manager. When someone attempts to access a redirected
printer the iPrint client will download the new printer and delete the
old one. TID 3006726 gives more information on printer agent redirection.
Note that a feature for OES2 SP2 is auto driver update. The checkbox
already exists in iManager on OES2 SP1 with the latest iPrint plugin but
is not yet active.

Printer profiles not displayed in PS CC dropdown

I created printer profiles using SpyderPrint, which showed up in PS's print dialog box. I then renamed the profiles in Win7. PS still shows the old filenames, and prints from them, but doesn't show the new names. I've restarted, rebooted, started softproof--nothing helps. The new filenames don't show up. How can I refresh the list in Photoshop.CC?

Are you deploying the profile at user or machine level? I know you may know this but others may not but Apple began the deprecation of WorkGroup Manager with 10.7. FWIW those of us who've been using these technologies since 10.2 and earlier learnt to adapt and used a combination of many applications (some 3rd-party) as well as other techniques which over time worked consistently well. I suppose what I'm trying to say is don't pin all your hopes on PM because it's still not 'enterprise-ready' for OS X yet IMO. I think other veterans and professionals in my field may agree? Having said that I did make it work at some installations/deployments since its first release. Yet at other installations I saw exactly the same behaviour as you do. No logical reason as to why as the network contractor was the same for all those sites. For me this effectively ruled out the network topology and infrastructure as a potential source of the problem. Interestingly I noticed it occasionally worked if the printers were in the same subnet as the macs but even this was not conclusive.

During printing of invoice it is taking old printer.

I have created a billing document and during printing of invoice it is taking the old printer.We have installed a new printer though it is taking old printer only.

Hi srivastava ,
Change the output device on the output condition record to the new printer using transaction VV32. If the output is printed on the same old printer even after the condition record changes check the printer assigned to your user ID in the below path "system --> user profile --> own data --> Defaults tab "
Hope this solves your problem.
Thanks

Canon IP3000 printer profile problem in Lion

I have a Macbook Pro with Lion installed on it. I was given a good working Canon IP3000 printer, and decided to hook it up to my laptop. I found the Canon website driver for it and installed it. Once I open my Photoshop CS5, and go to print, I see the IP3000 in the window, but it crashes Photoshop every time. I found out it is not compatible with Lion. I tried as much as I can to delete the profile from my system, Colorsync folder, etc. I searched for Canon and IP3000, and nothing is left.
Question,
1.why is it still showing up when I open Photoshop? It's still crashing Photoshop.
2. Is there a third party printer profile that will work with my IP3000 and Lion?

The driver files would have been added to /Library/Printers/Canon/BJPrinters. If you haven't done so already, you may want to remove the contents of this folder.
When the printer was created, files from the above folder would have been copied to hidden directories, such as ./etc/cups. Removing the printer from Print and Scan should have removed these files but there may be a remnant or two that is causing the crash. A reset of the printing system should help clean this up.
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4297
Note that this action will remove all devices from Print and Scan, but not the driver files in /Library/Printers, so you will just need to add the printer again.
As for a supporting driver, since you want to print from Photoshop then I would recommend you purchase PrintFab
http://www.printfab.net/
This will give the best results, providing you are using Photo paper.
One last thing. The iP3000 is old and is not going to give great results compared to newer models of printers.

Printing profiles cannot be seen in CS2

I used to use Photoshop CS on my old computer. There it was possible to choose from a large list of profiles for different paper-types and different printers. I have now got a new Intel Mac (OS 10.8.3). I have installed Parallels so that I can run a 10.6 Snow Leopard server; and I have installed Photoshop CS2 in it. To my surprise and dismay, I cannot find out how to access the list of paper and printer profiles any more. Can anyone please tell me how? Thank you in anticipation.

Thank you for that explanation, Jeff. But some questions:
1. On my old computer there were far more of the printer/paper profiles than I had printers; I only had one printer. So the profiles (or the drivers?) must have been pre-installed in the computer system. Why not in my new Snow Leopard server?
2. If I want to copy them from my old computer, where are they stored, and where do I put them on the new computer?
3. On the new computer, when I look at the final page of CS2, ready to print, I cannot see the place on the page where I should click in order to see the profiles. It was quite obvious in CS on my old computer.
Sorry to be so ignorant and obtuse! Thank you for your help.

Driver Mismatched with Printer Profile

In my development of our iPrint appliance I needed to open a service request to get drivers and settings from our old iPrint server to transfer to the iPrint appliance that I'm trying to build up for production. After completing this portion of the migration I'm trying to continue with updating some printer driver profiles but am running into unexpected behavior when trying to change these settings.
For instance, I have a HP LaserJet 1320 PCL5 for Windows 7 x64 driver which was uploaded to iPrint from the local system, the driver came from the Microsoft provided printer driver list. The unaltered driver is attached to the appropriate printers on the old system, but with deployment on the new iPrint we found a setting that needed to be toggled from enabled to disabled so I'm trying to create a printer driver profile. In going through the process to create the profile and the driver opens the HP Universal driver v5.1 opens, not the PCL driver.
I also looked into converting all of my HP printer drivers over to the HP universal drivers but found that each driver profile that I built for each different model printer became the driver profile of the last printer profile that I created. For example if I made a profile for x64_lj1300, x64_lj1320, x64_lj4050 in that order, the printer profiles for the 1300 and 1320 would assume the settings configured on the 4050 which would include 2 paper trays, letter and legal, as well as a duplexer.
I've even built up a 2nd iPrint appliance and am seeing similar behaviors with the universal driver profiles, even by building the system up from scratch and not importing old printers or drivers from the old system. Any ideas what is happening?

Figured it out. On my appliance I had a hard coded DNS reference to reuse an entry that is on my existing iPrint server and I had my dev VM configured similarly, but have since reverted to a previous snapshot which did not have the hard coded DNS entry in the hosts file. So when I tried to edit a printer driver I was logged into the appliance but was trying to edit entries from my old server.

Custom printer profiles not showing up

Has anyone found a resolution to this.
The RGB Spyder Print custom profile is installed in the correct directory and is associated with my Epson R2400.

> Really weird, because the profiles of the RC luster (PL285) and of the

Sorted out!
In my personal case, that is only THE LAST PROFILE, by internal name / alphabetical order, that doesn't show up in the "other..." dialog - always one at a time hidden.
So, I edited an old minilab profile I won't use in LR to show internal name as "ZZ Frontier ...".
I now see all the profiles I want in LR - only the (long forgotten) frontier profile is missing.

I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 for two years. I got a new printer and installed it although I did not remove my old printer from my computer. I used this program and my new printer for quite a few months, but today I deleted my old printer

I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 for along time now. When I first used the program I had a different printer than I have now. Although I changed printers I never removed the software from my old one. Now this was never a problem until today. When I choose a printer I still had option to use the old one but always chose my new HP Envy 5530 and Adobe never had a problem printing from that new printer. However today I decided to remove my old printer from my computer and now my Adobe cannot find my new printer. How can I make it find the HP printer?

Try this --

click that link and then click the chat button to talk to an Adobe agent
