Photoshop CS4 Printer Controls will not center images

I have two Epson Printers-The Stylus Pro 4000 and the Stylus Photo 1280, both several years old. I have downloaded and installed the most recent drivers for each. When printing from CS4 to either printer, and using the "center image" choice, I cannot get the print to be centered with equal margins on opposing sides. I have read various articles on how to do this, but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

Thank you Jeff for your response. I have tried the approach of the
custom paper size, but it does not seem to work right on my
configuration. I will keep trying. Do any of your books deal with
another problem which i am having relative to my switch from PC
Windows XP to OSX relative to a concurrent switch from CS3 to CS4.
The color ICC printer profiles for my Epson 4000 have not been
recognized by CS4 printer dialog box, though Lightroom 2 does find
them. They still exist in a file in the Library. I am not sure
whether the OSX operating system and CS4 require a different format
for the profiles (ie. some connection with the Colorsync utiltity?)
In any event, I note your new book on CS4 is out. Would that deal
with this issue?

When opening a file of any type in Photoshop (CS4), the windows will not appear. Photoshop will open and I can see the layers on the right but the document window will not come up no matter what I try. I try closing down everything, double-clicking a layer, opening multiple windows, etc.. Any thoughts?

Can you post a screenshot of your entire Photoshop screen with a file loaded in and the layers panel showing?
It helps if we see the same problem you are seeing

Using Photoshop CS6 and after printing approx. 10 cards on an Epson R3000 printer the program gives me a dialog box saying "There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents." Even after closing and reopening the program, the print command is greyed out so I cannot select any printer. This also happens with a Brother laser printer. Both printers will produce a test page out side of the Adobe product. Help!

I cannot get any help either. I get the message "There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents." I have reinstalled all drivers, powered off/on all printers (2 of them - a Brother HL - 4040cn and an Epson Stylus Pro 7890 - which all worked fine until this morning). There appears to be no path to a solution. I have read all the forums and tried about 20 different suggestions all to no avail. Reboots, changing cables, reinstalling printers and drivers and Photoshop CS6 - ALL TO NO AVAIL. On a macbook pro retina with 10.10.3. This issue is out there and some get solutions - but not all - that's my crowd...the not all crowd. I have yet to be able to print from CS6 any more. This is a show stopper and my patience is wearing thin. And I'm tired of stupid questions like "is your printer powered on?" give me a break. This appears to be an adobe photoshop cs6 problem - as I can print from every other application. Anyone have any ideas? Adobe should have something?... Adobe system info below:

Can no longer print from Photoshop CS^ have upgraded drivers error message reads There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents."

I have upgraded my iMac to Yosemite but now my two Canon Printers no longer print from Photoshop CS6. I have upgraded the drivers. All other applications including Lightroom are fine. I am receiving an error message as follows:"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 get the OS to return a list of printers to Photoshop when Photoshop requests a list.

Have you printed to this printer from 10.10 before? If so, check your connections.

PROBLEM: Cannot print from Photoshop
After restart error message appears:
— “There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents.”
• All print commands are greyed out and unavailable — even to call up the printer commands cannot be done.
The printer printed fine until about 2 weeks ago when this error message appeared. Printing continues from Pages, I-photo, preview etc. — only Photoshop fails.
The printer has been turned on and off, as have open documents been closed and open etc.. Preferences reset. Repeatedly I have read through blogs and forums and attempted to contact Adobe — all without results
Epson support struggled to find reason and several solutions were tried and they assume this is an Adobe problem.
Running Mac Powerbook X 10.10.2 / Photoshop CS6 13.0.6.x64

There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents. Error message in PhotoShop CC

Printing from PS CC worked fine today. I made no changes to preferences. In between working with 2 projects, the first one printed fine, the second gave me this Error Message.
There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents.
Now I've checked for updates for my printer, reset my printer, reset PS CC preferences, picked my printer as Default and Last Used, and rebooted. I've followed all the recommended fixes for this issue I could find here and on the internet. I can print fine from any other program. Alas, the error message keeps popping up and I can't print.

Photoshop will not resize images

As of today, PSE will not resize images for me. I typically use PSE for this function and am familiar with it.
I thought it might have been the windows update that occurred last night, so I restored my system earlier, but it does not help. I still can't resize images. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Operating system?
PSE version?
What are the exact steps you're doing?
What are the details of what's happening when you try?

HT1338 I have updated my new MacBook Pro for HP Photosmart All-in-One, but it still will not scan - it will print, but will not scan. How can I fix this?

I have installed the updates for my HP Photosmart All-in-One c309a. It prints, but will not scan. Tells me to update - I did that, but still won't scan. Any suggestions to make the scanner work?
This all worked perfectly with my old 2008 MacBook Pro.

Have you tried scanning from Image Capture or Preview?
A current driver is shown to be available for Mavericks (auto-downloaded):

But many people have found that manufacturer scanning control software doesn't work. They have to use the Apple-provided software.

Adobe Reader will not center the printable area on the page

Hi there,
I have posted a few times about this issue already but have still not gotten an answer so I'm trying again. Adobe Reader will not center PDF files on the page if the printable area is less than 8.5" X 11". I make sewing patterns for a living and have always drafted them on 7.5" X 10" artboards (printable areas)....the art boards are centered on the page when they are drafted. Up until a few months ago there has never been an issue for me or my customers to print the patterns in either landscape, portrait (depending on the particuar PDF's orientation) or autoportrait/landscape orientation. Then about 2 or so months ago I started getting complaints about the top left hand side of the page getting cut off. When I tried printing one of the PDF's myself that was drafted in landscape orientation, and I printed it in "landscape" orientation, the top left side of the pdf did indeed get cut off. When I printed in autoportrait/landscape orientation the pdf printed fine, and for many of my customers this seems to fix the problem. But for many of them it doesn't fix the problem and the pdf still prints with part of it getting cut off regardless of which box is checked for orientation. I've found that if I go to the "pages to print" box and click "other options" then select "current view" this often solves the problem...but then the user does not seem to be able to select which pages to print. This is becoming a major problem for my business (lots of complaints) and would really like to know if anyone has looked at this issue and if the problem will be solved anytime soon. It is not just me but many of my colleagues and 100's of customers. Help! Thank you:)

Make sure you have the latest Adobe Reader installed for your OS.

Did you try using Preview. If you control click on the PDF on your desktop you can use the "open with" option.

When I adjust the parameters of the image the histogram is changing but the image is blank.
I have a Vista machine.

PhotoShop Elements 9 Edit will not open.

After opening 2 or 3 images in Elements 9 edit a dialog box will come up and say "Elements is already running but is not responding close the Elements process or restart your system". I do not see where I can close the running Elements process. I have used Elements 9 for several months and have never run into this problem. Can anyone suggest a solution to my problem?

Thank you for the response. My Elements 9 Editor problem seemed to fix its
self. After restarting the computer the Editor would open for 2 or 3 images
then refuse to open again. After the fifth restarting of the computer the
Editor has continued to work and now seems fine. Not sure what caused the
problem in the first place. I will use the advise given below if the problem
starts again.

I am having similar problems. After years of successful use, about a year ago, my printer (Epson stylus Photo R300) stopped working. After much investigation, it appears my computer no longer recognizes my printer. I've followed resets, safe boots, uninstalls, reinstalls, etc. This happened so long ago, I don't recall what I was doing when it happened. I'm figuring it happened shortly after a Software Update... So far none of the fixes recommended to me have solved the problem. I've been using Epson customer support, but they've stopped responding. None of their suggestions have seemed to work either.

There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents.

I've never had this problem before. It only affects Photoshop CS6 and CS5 that I have installed. I'm running MAC OS 10.9.5
I have three printers and HP and two Epsons, and I get this dialogue when trying to print from Photoshop CS6 or CS5.
