Photo will not print

I am using Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 and trying to print photos. When I have set it all up ready for printing and press the print button a box opens with the comment "Another computer is using the printer" "The following status is the usage status of that computer" My other computer is turned off at the wall power point but I still get the message on my main computer. I tried Picasa 3 and it works fine.. Any suggestions?

Do you get an error message when trying to print from the photo tray, or does it just not print?
If the print job gets stuck in the queue, look at this document:

What am I doing wrong? Photos will not print.

I finally learned a little about layers when I got CS6 on my Mac.
I bought 2 Topaz plug-ins, Adjust & Simplify.
I took 39 photos on a flash drive to the local CVS & Rite-Aid and both machines said 34 of my photos are corrupt and will not print.
What am I doing wrong?
I did change them from psd to jpeg before putting them in a desktop folder.
Could that be the problem?
Thanks, Eli

HP Photosmart B210a will not print black ink on plain paper... only on photo paper.

Hi, I have an HP Photosmart B210a that wont print black ink. I have used a whole set of ink cartridges by cleaning the print heads, allignment etc. I just installed ALL NEW cartridges and the sae thing is ocurring. I have replaced plenty of cartridges and am experienced. Just all of a sudden one day the printer stopped printing black ink on plain paper documents like with MS Word, excel and PDF, etc. It's not set to greyscale either, actually it wont even print grey! However, if I go to a photo with plenty of black in it, it will print it JUST FINE!!! I'm at my wits end! I have followed EVERY head cleaning advice in the forums but it will not print black in except on photos... Please help!!!!

The document here may help, although you have likley already done most of the steps. Be sure to check the vents. If the above does not resolve black not printing on your Photosmart b210a the post here may help.
The black cartridge uses pigmented ink which is not compatible with photo paper. Although the printer appears to be printing black properly on photo paper it is actually using color mixed together to produce black in this case.

IPhoto will not print a photo on Epson DX7450

I have a client who has a new iMac that originally ran Tiger and printed photos in iPhoto '08 using an Epson DX7450 multi function printer - all was just fine. Recently, they upgraded to Leopard and now running 10.5.5; sadly now photos in iPhoto will not print - other programs are not affected, just iPhoto. The Epson has the latest drivers and Epson suggest that the issue lies with iPhoto. Any suggestions welcome please. They do not want to use a different photo library application!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First try the easy fix: close iPhoto, delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, launch iPhoto and see if that helps.
Next, if necessary, log into another account on the Mac, create a new library if necessary, import a picture and see if you can print from there. If not then a reinstall of iPhoto seems warranted. In that case you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder.
If iPhoto prints OK in the other account then the problem is with your primary account. It could be a preference file other than iPhoto's. Here's how to determine if that's the case:
Trouble Shooting Preferences in Leopard
1 - Create a folder titled "Preferences A" on the Desktop.
2 - Open the working Preferences folder, HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences, and move the contents to the Preferences A folder on the Desktop.
3 - Make a duplicate copy of the Preferences A folder on the Desktop as a precautionary backup.
4 - With the working Preferences folder empty run the application again and determine if the problems is fixed.
NOTE: you may have to drag the contents of the working folder to the trash and empty if moving the contents to the A folder only copies them instead of moving.
5 - If the problem is fixed:
A - open the working Preferences folder (HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences).
B - Open the Preferences A folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Preferences folder.
C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here.
6 - If the problem is NOT fixed, empty the working Preferencess folder and move the contents of the Preferences folder on the desktop back into it.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

HP Officejet Pro 8500A Premium will not print docs from computer, but will print a test page.

HP Officejet Pro 8500A Premium will not print docs from computer, but will print a test page. I continually get a message that the computer cannot communicate with the printer.   Not only will it not print docs, it will not print web pages using IE 11 or Google Chrome.
I've used Print and Scan Doctor, it always reports there are no issues and prints a test page even though I can't print anything else.
Each time I want to print, I must reboot the computer. After reboot I have one chance to print.   This problem started February 15, 2015.
My operating system is Windows 8.1.   I have unintalled the HP software, rebooted, then reinstalled the software:
OJ8500_A910_1315-1.exe
HP Print and Scan Doctor - HPPSdr.exe
HPSupportSolutionsFramework-11.51.0049.msi
All versions were last downloaded on April 4, 2015.
I have a home wireless network (Ubee DDW366 router). All other devices in the house will print to the 8500A printer without issues: 2 Toshiba laptops, 2 Android phones, and 1FireHD.
The desk top is installed with a Netgear Network card I don't know the model, but I had it tested by a PC Tech to confirm that the card is working.   The card and Windows 8.1 were installed on January 3, 2015.
I have run virus scans and malware scans. Each time they show there are no issues with my desktop. What kind of desktop? Specifically made to my specs from store parts. . . no brand name computer. ASUS Motherboard P6X580 Premium. Now I will probably get hacked!
I am at my wits end. And it is frustrating when I need to make a print of something and the system locks up. I often resort to screen printing to a word document to save in order to reboot. . . .but then I lose all sorts of capabilites when I salvage what I needed. Also this is a time consumer.
This printer has served us well for two years and I have expensive cartridges waiting; another two rounds of refills.
Help?
Addendum: I can scan using HP Printer Assistance. I open the HP Printer assistant, it "retrieves" info from the printer, then I select "scan a document or photo" and the printer responds.   I have no trouble with scanning.
This question was solved.

Hi there can anyone help as i am unable to contact Apple for support with my printer which will not print after recent software update? this is the email i tried to send to apple with no success, can anyone help please.......Dear Apple, I'm pulling my hai

Hi there,
Can anyone out there help, after a recent Apple software update my Epson Stylus Photo RX640 will no longer print, every other aspect of the printer works fine including the scanner but it just will not print, I sent an email to apple but all i got was an automated reply directing me to their support page, the email i sent is below this explains in full what the problem is & what i have done to try & fix this problem.
Dear Apple,
I'm pulling my hair out after a recent software update from apple, since this update my Epson Stylus Photo RX640 will not print, every other function of the printer including the scanner works fine,
Please see attached file of the error message coming up in the print queue.
I have spent days trying to fix this, i have been onto Epsons website & followed their resolution for this error message to no avail, after contacting them again with the results i got an email back saying : In response to your email, the RX640 will use an inbox or gutenprint driver on Mac OS X 10.6.8, it is not compatible with an Epson driver.
I have also tried re-installing drivers from original Discs for the printer but it still will not print, obviously this error has been caused by Apple's latest software update, when are Apple going to fix this problem? i need my printer working ASAP.
Regards
Brian
PS i obviously can't attach the error message so here it is: Error:/Library/Printer/Epson/inkjetprinter 2/filter/rastertoescpll.app/contents/mac os/rastertoescpll/failed
Thank You all in advance
Regards
Brian

It is hardly Apple's fault that Epson can't/won't update their driver, but at least Epson suggest that you use the Gutenprint driver, which in any case is far better that what Epson offer.
You can get it here:
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/
You can download the latest version from here:

Have you downloaded the recent Apple update to Epson drivers?

Elements 8 Editior will not print !!

I am extremely annoyed at Adobe as Elements Editor (8.0) will not print!! I have seen a number of complaints about this and I have tried multiple things to fix the problem. I own many different Adobe products (Design Suite 5, Reader, Acrobat, Elements) as well as many other programs (Office 03, 07, and 10, Corel Suite of products, many photo related programs, etc.) and they all work fine on all te printers attached to my computer. Even Elements organizer works perfectly.
With the Elements Editor I get an error box that starts with “Before you can perform printer-related tasks such as page setup or printing a document you need to install a printer”.
Another post to this forum suggested using the Microsoft XPS document writer print driver. I tried that and it did get me a bit farther in that I finally was able to get the print dialog box up; however, whenever I selected another printer I got an error message telling me there was a fatal program error and I had to eventually quit and re-start elements.
I have looked for Elements updates – and none are available. Someone suggesting re-loading the program and I really do not want to do that as the program works perfectly (as dies the organizer) except for printing. I have recently updated the print driver so that cannot be the problem and as I said – you can print directly from the organizer.
To make matters worse I got so frustrated looking for a web address or e-mail for sending my complaint to Adobe that I gave up – none could be found.
Can anyone let me in on the secret as to how to print, or get the editor to recognize the printer, from Elements Editor?
Thanks – Mike

Mike,
You state: " I have recently updated the print driver so that cannot be the problem and as I said – you can print directly from the organizer."
I have been led to believe that the print engines for Editor and Organizer are not the same, even though they are marketed within the same program. It may be that the driver for the printer antedates the production of PSEv.8.
Have you tried using another printer (of recent vintage) for printing from Editor?
