Photoshop 10 printing issues,

I am trying to print two time sensitive projects using high resolution photos. All is good until I try to print the completed projects. Once I am at the print settings screen I get a pop up that tells me I cannot print high resolution pictures and then reduces resolution of high quality pictures to 200 dpi, This has not been an issue in the past. any ideas would be appreciated!

Are you sure you are talking about Photoshop and not Photoshop Elements?
Because Photoshop 10 usually is called Photoshop CS3.
But either way I think you might need to provide more information to enable people to help you effectively (version, OS, hardware, drivers, …).

Print issue with Photoshop CS4 and Officejet 6500

I have a Windows 7 Business 64 bits desktop computer. After installing the Officejet Pro 6500 multifunctional drivers all was working OK. Images were being printed nice and with the correct size using Windows print option. After installing Adobe CS4 suite, all images printed from windows or Photoshop have incorrect size (photoshop prints it smaller, about 33%, and on upper left corner of the sheet).
Photoshop sucks but Illustrator print fine. The only way I can print at the good size in Photoshop, it's when I select Microsoft XPS document writer as printer and print from there... Not very user friendly !!!
And yes, it was always the HP Officejet 6500 E709n fax selected by default by Photoshop instead of HP Officejet 6500 E709n !
Is anybody can say if it's an HP issue or an Adobe issue ??? Why Illustrator print fine and Photoshop don't ???
Thank's in advance.

Deleting the fax printer associated with this device to allows correct printing is not an acceptable alternative for me.
If it is a printer issue, why I can print correctly from Illustrator ???

That's my normal configuration then I can't change nothing when all is ok.
Thank you very much for your answer ! Maybe anybody have an other solution or explanation.
Thank's for your patience.

Images appear fine in Photoshop cs6 and cc, but print too dark, and also show too dark in Windows picture viewer. How can I correct this? Is this a Photoshop setting issue or what?

Ok, look at your files in Photoshop. What is the profile assigned to them? You can find this out by going to the Status bar at the bottom, clicking on the right-pointing triangle and choosing document Profile from the list.
Then in Windows, go to your Control Panel > Color Management and add sRGB (if it isn't there) and select it as your default profile.
I hope that will work.

Photoshop CS5.1 printing issue

I am unable to print anything in Photoshop. I just upgraded to CS5.1, 64-bit, from CS3. When I use the print command I get the message "The saved printer information is not compatible with this version of Photoshop, or the saved printer is no longer available. You will need to check your printer settings before printing."
When I click OK, I then get "There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents."
How can I check my printer settings or select a printer when I can't get the print dialog to appear? I get these messages no matter what files I open.
I have a second computer on which I just did a new install of CS5.1 (not an upgrade), with the same printers and drivers, and it works fine.
Any suggestions?
--Doug

There really is no such thing as an upgrade. It is all the same program, just a price break. So you probably have some printer issues left over from the previous version on the computer you "upgraded" to CS5.1.
Check to see it you have the correct printer listed.
If that looks OK you might reset the preferences and it will clean out any junk that might be a problem. Start PS and IMMEDIATELY hold down the ctrl + alt + shift keys. You should get a reset window. A little tricky, so keep trying if it does not work the first time.

Need help diagnosing cause of printing issue w/ image distortion

Hello, I'm looking for some expert advice for my print issue with image distortion (see above) on my files once setup and proofed by my printer.
I have a large PSD background file out of photoshop (CMYK, 170mb psd) that is being placed into an InDesign document. No preflight errors, all correct SWOP cmyk settings, and I keep having issues where images distort on my printers proofs - they seem unable to explain the issue and can't offer any other suggestions beyond ("just try resaving/uploading again" which of course has an added fee with each upload...).
The files are all fine on our end: on-screen, on our cmyk proofs, and our saved PDFs/packaged files. But everytime our printer opens these they seem to have these distorted image problems - scrambled images (almost as if there was a ghosted transparent image in the distorted area), strange lines (see above, and color distortion (usually greens and pinks, see above).
Is this an issue with my settings/file formats? Maybe the issue lies on our printers end? I'll keep checking this throughout the day and provide quick answers to anyone who can help me get to the bottom of this.
Adobe forums have been a huge help in years past so I decided this was by best bet for a resolution from those who know more than myself (or my printer), thanks for taking the time to help!

White background of image created in Photoshop prints as grey through iPhoto postal ordering service.

I have created an image in Photoshop with a white background (I stuck with the default white background that the new image gave me). Over the top of this, I placed some images, saved it as a JPG, imported it into iPhoto and ordered it as a postcard-sized picture.
When I received it in the post, the whole image had printed with a grey overtone: the white background was in fact grey, and the pictures over the top were darker.
How can I resolve this to print my image with a truly white background through iPhoto's ordering service?
Many thanks,
Adam

If unchecking the scene-referred profiles box clears the display problem in Photoshop, you most likely have hit a known bug with defective monitor profiling packages building defective monitor profiles that affect Photoshop and After Effects — specifically, the defective profile is erroneously marked as "scene referred."
Version 4 ICC Profiles: If your are using v4 printing profiles, try Googling for more information...some symptoms of this bug are Photoshop prints a light cyan or blue in the page white areas. The Fix is to use Version 2 printer profiles.
there is another old known issue that has to do with trying to Hard Proof simulate press conditions (printing cyan in whites) but i am not sure what you are trying and i can't recall it right now
if those aren't it upload these screenshots of your workflow:

Printing issues with Ps, Id, Ai

Cannot get the printer to function correctly! It prints fine in Word and Adobe Acrobat Professional...when I try to print from Id and Ai it shuts down before seeing a print dialog box. When I print from Ps it prints a weird code straight across the top of the page...which it wants to print many times until I have to restart the printer.

Printing Issues in CS6

When I try to print from CS6 on a MacBook Pro running Yosemite 10.10.2, the Print function is grayed out and not live. I cannot print from CS6. Any thoughts on how to make the print function active?

Is your Photoshop updated to Photoshop CS6 13.0.6?
Have you tried trashing prefs:
To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (Bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
Important: If you re-create the preferences by deleting the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
NEW Video! Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here.
Mac OS
Important: Apple made the user library folder hidden by default with the release of Mac OS X 10.7. If you require access to files in the hidden library folder to perform Adobe-related troubleshooting, see How to access hidden user library files.
Can you print from any other application?

Illustrator: Transparency/masked image printing issue

I edited an image in photoshop. The image was masked then set to grayscale in Photoshop and then "Placed" into Illustrator where I'm working in CMYK mode.
The background color in Illustrator is set to 0 0 0 100K. When I print the artwork, the masked area of the image (Which is transparent showing my background color) prints blacker than the backgound color of the whole artwork. When I went in with the eyedropper to read the CMYK value in masked area, it reads 75 68 67 90 where as it should read the background CMYK value 0 0 0 100K. This explains why it prints different intensity of blacks. I then went in to View -> Proof Colors to see what the printer should see, but the image looks perfectly fine there. So can anyone explain to me what I can do to fix this issue? Is this a known problem with Placing the image into an illustrator rather than opening it in illustrator, or it's only a printer issue?
Thanks in Advance.
Image attached in "Proof Color" View

Preferences -> Appearance of Black.
Set those both to Accurately. I don't know why they default to rich blacks when that's not always what is used. I would think most users would perfer to see ACCURATE colors.

Lightroom print issues with Espon Stylus Pro 4900

I'm having a weird issue with my StylusPro 4900 + Mavericks/Lightroom
My prints keep coming out 1/3rd their normal size.
I spent the day troubleshooting and no luck
Using LR4 ad now CC LR + Installed all the updates.
Uninstalled old the old drivers and reinstalled new.
Restarted several times.
Cleaned up the OSX stuff and more .
I have been using Epson's for over 10 years but have never run into an issue like this.
I'd appreciate any ideas or help!

Not hearing back about the details of your "success" with the Epson driver install, I can only assume that it really does not work correctly - as is the case with everyone else I've read about trying to use the 2200 under Snow Leopard.
The only work arounds are two, and neither is satisfactory:
1. You can turn off Color management in the first photoshop print dialog and then select the color managed option in the second - this defaults to the printer's drivers instead of using those in photoshop. The result is not right - the colors and brightness are noticeably off - but it is "less unbearably horrible" than what you get if you try to print with the correct workflow: Photoshop manages colors in the first dialog and No color management selected in the second.
2. There is a Gutenberg driver for the 2200 that theoretically could let you print without the Epson printer drivers. However, I have yet to encounter anyone who has gotten this to work properly so that it duplicates the color results formerly achieved with the Epson driver and photoshop managing colors under the earlier versions of the OS.
This is not a good thing. Many of us who rely on the Epson 2200 are not suddenly and without warning and with no word whatsoever from Epson... just plain SOL...
Epson should at least say something about this. Their statement could be "we will not support this printer under Snow Leopard" (terrible policy, but at least we could all go out and shop for new HP color printers...), "we are updating drivers for this (these?) printer(s) and will have them available shortly," or even "we are looking into this problem and will respond shortly."
Right now the silence is deafening. There isn't anything at the Epson site addressing this issue at all, and there is no way to follow up on it from the page addressing Snow Leopard compatibility.
Poor show, Epson.

Barbara Brundage, can you help with PS Elements 11 and Epson R2000 printer issue?

Seeking help with PS Elements 11 which does not work with Epson r2000 printer. Epson tech support could not fix, said it is PS e11 problem. Receive prompt on PS e11 screen when I try to print stating "not compatible or settings are not correct. Have set PS to manage color and printer manages color to off. Would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.

Hi,
Sincerely appreciate your help. Running Windows 7 on a Dell XPS420. System has been very stable for years. Before purchasing the Epson r2000, I owned an r1800 which was an excellent printer but after seven years started to exhibit paper feed problems. The r1800 worked with all applications and I was well satisfied with the saturation, contrast, etc. printing mostly 8x10 and 11x17 prints.
Thank you for the information about the # of installs for PS E11, will try uninstall/reinstall this morning.
Will let you know how things go.

Color settings for Photoshop prints

Not sure if anyone can help - I'm still working with CS2 but perhaps my problem has a simple answer.
I did a lot of printing several years ago but had to leave it behind for a period. I'm trying to get bak into it but i'm having trouble with my color settings. My prints are coming out with rather garish or exagerated. My brain is somewhat disconnected of what I need to be paying attenion to. Anybody with advice on where to start again?

Hi Petyer-2, welcome to the forum.
Chances are it's one or more color-management issues (having to do with profiles, monitor setup, etc.)
Are you printing yourself or sending the images out?
If the former, what color-management settings are you choosing in the Photoshop Print dialog?
If the latter, what color profile are you saving the images in that you're sending out for printing? What does the lab want?
Is your monitor calibrated and profiled? What profile is associated with the monitor?
Feel free to put a representative image up here if you'd like a judgment on whether the image itself is garish/exaggerated.

Epson R2400: Printing Issue: Dark printing after 10.7?

This question goes out to all of the Epson R2400 printer owners whom, if you're like me and have had one for a while, seem to have printing issues after every little change in the OS:
In Brief: Printing to the Epson R2400 via USB direct from iMac was printing well; outputing from InDesign, PhotoShop, and Acrobat Pro (all are CS5). I am not 100% sure because this is not a printer that I use daily, but I believe that I am having these printing issues after upgrading to 10.7.2 from 10.7.1.
The issue is that an output is very dark overall, or (after tweaking settings) will have a dramatic color shift to heavy magenta/black. In general, my traditional printer settings no longer produce correct outputs.
Anyone that has any suggestions or similar issues, I would like to hear about it.
Notes:
1. Yes, I completed all of the tradional voodoo magic: I cleared the printer caches, removed the printer, setup a new printer, updated the drivers via Apple software update, then once that didn't work, updated the drivers from Epson - even reverting to the older v6.5 drivers. I'm now back to the v8 drivers from the Apple software update.
2. My printing tests are being conducted using a standard color test file that I've used to calibrate color on this Epson R2400 for years. I generally know that when this file doesn't print correctly something is afoot.
3. My first attempt at correction was simply checking head alignment and completing a general cleaning of the heads. Didn't help.
4. General question: Does anyone know of a compatible printer manufacturer of similar quality of output that actually cares about Mac users? Epson just never seems to really care about keeping their Apple drivers up to date or making sure that they work properly. Humble opinion.

Ok. I believe that it all comes down to the use of a third-party ink.
I didn't realize that there was a switch to a "refill" ink (to save money it appears) on the light-light-black and magenta. Switching back to Epson ink cleared the matter up.
I guess sometimes it's the simple things that elude us...

Help me solve color and dark print issue with a new monitor recommendation!

I know, I hate "surveys" too. I'm thinking of attacking my color and dark printing issues w\LR and CS4, by investing in a new monitor. I currently have an 20' early edition Apple Cinema Display. The monitor is the last hardware (software) item in my current upgrade cycle. From those folks who are NOT having color or print problems, what displays are you using (or would recommend)? Ah, and price is an issue. Apologies in advance to those who think this is not appropriate use of the Forum.

Monitor calibration is the first port of call. Sometimes changing one item in a system is enough to show up a colour management issue. You suggest that the monitor is the last item in your upgrade cycle, what all have you changed? Computer, printer? There may also be a setting you have failed to set when you installed the new software, eg. have you remembered to set relative colorimetric with the black point compensation box ticked, disable colour management in your printer driver and put an appropriate colour profile for your monitor onto the new computer? You also need the correct profile for your printer/paper combination set up in Photoshop.
If you haven't calibrated your monitor, that on its own will give you poor prints, but all the other bits are needed also.

Photoshop print dialog

Is there any way to get an event before the print dialog opens in Photoshop?
thx
AC

I'm not sure. many thing can go wrong.
First be sure your OS has all updates.
If you have a Mac, Repair permissions using the Disk Utility
Check with your Printer manufacturer for the latest drivers.
Check that Photoshop is fully updated. Some of these updates fix Print bugs.
One way Print issues have been fixed in Photoshop is to reset Preferences.
Hold down Ctrl-alt-shif or cmd-opt-shift, start Photoshop and answer "Yes" to delete the settings file.
