Photoshop CS4 printer driver

I installed the Photoshop CS4 printer driver (ipf6100) that I downloaded from Canon's website. When I chose export and choose the ipf6100 it gives me the error message
"Could not complete the export command because of a program error". How do I get the plugin working.

I am not understanding what your trying to do or the steps. When you install the plug in your saying there should be your printer listed in PS CS4 Export as a option to choose from? Do you have a 64 bit OS? If so my guess is that it is only a 32 bit plugin option and maybe you installed it in the 64 bit plug in folder? Or the opposite?

  • Photoshop CS4 : Printer name too long problem

    hi,
    we have a special problem only in Photoshop CS4 when we want to print here.
    When students wants to print their document on one of our printer, Photoshop is not keeping the printer selected correctly.
    When we go in File --> Print...
    The page "Imprimer" open and I select the printer : RN-CORRIDOR-D306-COULEUR(PS)
    the (PS) is for the PostScript Driver.
    then if we click on "Mise en page" (Page Setup) you see the name of the printer is now : RN-CORRIDOR-D306-COULEUR
    this printer is the one with PCL driver.
    I have these 2 printers installed on my computer. If I remove the PCL one, everything works correctly.
    I have made some testing and I found that if the printer has more thant 30 character for the name identical with another one, it will switch to the printer above in the list in photoshop.
    the name of these printers are in fact : \\sprint1\RN-CORRIDOR-D306-COULEUR and \\sprint1\RN-CORRIDOR-D306-COULEUR(PS)
    and they appear like this in the listing :
    \\sprint1\RN-CORRIDOR-D306-COULEUR
    \\sprint1\RN-CORRIDOR-D306-COULEUR(PS)
    So if I choose the PCL one, everything works fine, but if I choose the PostScript one, it will switch on the PCL driver. (it is impossible to print on the PS)
    Another test I made :
    Create 2 printer locally on my computer with 2 names with 30 character identical and 1 different at the end, 2 completely different driver (HP 4050PCL and Lexmark OptraS1650PCL) on 2 different ports: same results, it swith to the first printer in the listing.
    As I said, this is the only application that have this problem. Any other Adobe application or MS Office is working for now 3 years with these printers with more than 30 character in the name. And we can't change the name as they are installed on over 100 computers.
    Did someone ever saw this ?
    Thanks
    Benoit

    these printer are installed on our lab computer with more than 100 softwares installed.
    the only application having this problem is Photoshop CS4.
    Illustrator CS4 for exemple is correct, last version of Acrobat Pro too.
    Photoshop CS3 was ok before...

  • Photoshop CS4 Display Driver Error

    I have a user who is using Photoshop CS4 on a Dell Optiplex 745, with onboard Intel video. Since I read that Photoshop now uses OpenGL heavily in its operations, and also understanding that OpenGL support is pretty bad on Intels integrated video, we put an Nvidia GeForce8400 card in the PCIExpress slot, and loaded the latest drivers from Nvidia (version 182.50 currently). The user reports he periodically gets the attached error message, "Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver and has temporarily disabled GPU enhancements. Check the video card manufacturers website for the latest software"... Knowing that some other OpenGL-enabled software is picky about what version of Nvidia graphics drivers are installed, I wonder if this is what we're seeing here...  Anybody have some insight on this?
    Dave

    Did you disable the onboard graphics in the BIOS?

  • Photoshop CS4 printer selection failure

    Wondering if anyone might know what's happening here....
    Using Photoshop CS4, Windows 7 SP1, Novell Network Printers.
    There are 2 problems:
    1) In the print dialog box, no matter what printer is selected, the page setup button has settings for a different printer.
    2) After clicking print on the print dialog box, the system print dialog box has the wrong printer selected. The selected printer is random depending on what printers are installed. It is not the default printer necessarily.

    I am not understanding what your trying to do or the steps. When you install the plug in your saying there should be your printer listed in PS CS4 Export as a option to choose from? Do you have a 64 bit OS? If so my guess is that it is only a 32 bit plugin option and maybe you installed it in the 64 bit plug in folder? Or the opposite?

  • Photoshop CS4 printing everything in dots???

    My Photoshop CS4 has been running fine and then this past week I printed a document I created and the whole thing came out as a series of small dots...including the fonts.  Also, I tried printing various high resolution stock photos that have printed fine from Photoshop in the past, and they all came out dotted too.
    The document I created was 8.5 x 11, 300 dpi, CMYK.  In order to determine if the problem was my printer, I saved the file as a .jpg and opened it in Windows Picture & Fax Viewer.  I printed the document from that program and I got a great print...no dots!  So it seems it has something to do with Photoshop and I am clueless.  I haven't changed any of the prefs or settings, so I'm not sure what is going on.
    Does anyone know what might be happening?   I appreciate any wisdom or insight, as I have none!

    From your Photoshop Print dialog (i.e., the window that opens when you choose File - Print), press the Print Settings button.
    Ensure all your printer settings, including those in Advanced sections, are set to your preferences.  Chances are something's set to "Draft" mode or to a minimal dot pitch.
    You don't need to actually print something to get these settings to "stick".  Just press the Done button.

  • Photoshop CS4 - TWAIN driver for my Epson Perfection 3200 scanner

    I have been attempting to find, download and install a version of the TWAIN driver for the Epson Perfection 3200 Photo scanner.  I need a version that will work with the Mac OSX 10.6.7 operatinging system and Adobe Photoshop CS4.  I have already exhausted all efforts to get an appropriate driver from Epson and they suggested I see if Adobe didn't have one that would install into the Import/Export folder of CS4.  Can you help?
    Thanks......Karol Rice Photography

    the search here is (was?) really bad but google gives you a back door:
    http://www.google.com/search?q=twain+cox+forums.adobe.com&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.m ozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
    pay close attention to what Chris Cox writes
    Short answer:

    forget twain and scanning through Photoshop (keep working in Photoshop while you scan by scanning in the manufacturer's scanning app, or try VUESCAN free scanning software)
    note that Ps runs in 64 bit by default and many scanner plugins conflict because they are 32bit and buggy so if your scanner pluging is 32 bit, you need to run Ps in 32 bit if you want to the TWAIN door (again, not recommended, and it's been discussed here many times, probably why your post hit air)

  • 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?

  • OS Yosemite/Photoshop CS4/Printer Problem

    I recently upgraded to OS 10.10, Yosemite. I can no longer get accurate colors printed for photos from Photoshop. I have Photoshop CS4 and I use an Epson Stylus Photo R2400 printer. I am able to use Photoshop for everything but printing accurately. I downloaded all recommended drivers for the printer, reloaded profiles for the printer and even tried a trial of Photoshop CC. Nothing resolves the problem. My prints look kind of solarized. Black and white photos have green areas where there should be black. Please help.

    Yosemite introduced a number of serious bugs that Apple has not fixed yet.
    Some Yosemite users have been advised to downgrade to Mavericks.

  • Can't change my paper settings to print from Photoshop cs4 printer Epson

    I've been trying for hours/days to get my printer to print a custom paper size for greetings cards to my Epson printer via the rear feed. I know it can be done because a friend helped me with it in the past but the setting did not save and they cant remember how they did it. I've been looking on forums and help on the internet but the settings people are saying to use are not available on my Photoshop.

    I'm not using CS4 or an Epson (Canon and CS6), but is there a Print Settings option in which you can set a custom size?

  • Photoshop CS4 Printing

    Every since I updated to CS4, I am having problems printing
    to my color printer. It now prints a small thumbnail from
    Photoshop. This problem didn't exist with CS3. Adobe said the
    printer memory needs to upgraded to 2mb. Since it only has a max of
    1gb, it can't be done. I am trying to find out if anyone else has
    this problem. If anyone has the same printer and does not have this
    problem, please let me know.

    My experience...
    Windows 7 64-bit
    CS4
    Acrobat8 Professional
    Printing to an Acrobat file sometimes generates the 'thumbnail' image error.  Through this forum, I found that if I uncheck the BoundingBox option I get the image correctly printed.
    From one Adobe product to another!!!  No other printer drivers associated with this process.  I would question some people assigning partial blame to Xerox drivers and such since I'm having this isue with Adobe to Adobe printing.

  • Photoshop cs4 printing issue on HP 7680

    Suddenly, my HP OfficeJet 7680 printing from PS CS4 (Vista) - prints only a portion of the photo. For instance, an 8.5 x 11 photo starts out fine, then starts losing pixels as the page progresses. The photo's pixels also shift as it goes.
    Generic printing through Windows' photo printers works fine.
    any thoughts? thanks!!
    Dana

    Believe it or not you might need to reinstall.
    The HP drivers that were installed on my MacBook were the PowerPC version (as opposed to the Intel version) and I had problems. The issue was solved by re-installing the OS which in turn re-installed the print drivers.
    I would try any other advice first, though. A reinstall is a pretty major solution to what could be a minor problem.

  • Poor B&W print quality from Photoshop CS4

    First a definition:
    - Half-tone: this is a gray scale printing process that is required for an printer that can print only Black & White.  It allows a B&W printer to be able to appear to have the ability to print grayscale.  The higher the printer resolution, the less noticeable the half-tone dots or dithering will be.
    The problem with Photoshop CS4 seems to be that, when you use it's print option, it's half-tone is very coarse and does not reflect the resolution capability of the destination printer, in my case, a LaserJet4.   If I take the same print and print it from Bridge CS4, the half-tone is correct for the resolution of the printer and the print looks great.  Also, from Photoshop CS4, if you do a save-as a .pdf and then print the .pdf, the print looks great, as well.
    Keep in mind that the printer driver settings (which there are few) have not been changed during this testing.
    My conclusion is that the problem is with Photoshop CS4 print option and I cannot find anyway in Photoshop to change the half-tone settings there.  Further, if I use the exact same print with the exact same printer settings, it will print correctly from other graphics programs.
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.  In my lab, most of the printing is B&W for court exhibits and such.
    Thanks, Jonathan
    Image And Sound Forensics

    Zeno,
    Ok.  But the printer works correctly if I do a save-as .pdf and print the
    pdf.  Or do the same from Bridge.   So, how can it be the printer or printer
    driver when it works correctly elsewhere in Photoshop and Bridge?

  • Terrible print quality in Photoshop CS4 -- everything prints halftoned

    Ever since installing Photoshop CS4, anything printed from within Photoshop comes out on paper looking halftoned (even though it looks normal onscreen). No other program (including previous version of Photoshop) has this problem.
    Below I have included scans of an image printed from Photoshop CS4 and also from Illustrator CS4.
    As an example, I drew something fast at 300 dpi in Autodesk Sketchbook, pasted that it into Photoshop, printed from within Photoshop, and it came out on paper looking halftoned. I then saved the .PSD from within Photoshop, placed that into Illustrator CS4 and printed the same image from within Illustrator. It printed on paper exactly as it looked onscreen (i.e., normally). I then scanned both results and placed them side-by-side to show what I'm getting from the printer.
    http://www.hotcrayon.com/adobe/002/photoshop-cs4-printing-halftones.jpg
    Lest anyone think it has something to do with the images themselves, I don't believe this can be the problem since everything printed from within Photoshop comes out this way. It prints vector artwork this way, high-res images too.. everything prints halftoned.
    However, when I take the same images and print them from any other graphics program, they print normally.
    Any help would be much appreciated!

    I'm having the same half-tone print problem.  However, when I print from Bridge I get a high quality print with no half-tones.  Any Ideas?  Thanks, Jonathan.

  • CS4 printing problem after changing printers

    Windows7
    Photoshop CS4
    printer was HP Officejet Pro 8500
    have many files created with this printer installed. They printed successfully, except for "usual sporadic" error of "needing to install a printer before able to print". Would shutdown Photoshop, bring it up and print.
    Installed new printer HP Officejet Pro 8600.
    Files created when 8500 in use will not print on 8600. Get same "usual sporadic" error, except shutdown doesn't resolve problem.
    New files created after 8600 installed print fine.
    Any ideas how to solve this now BIG problem?

    On a hunch, try going through the printer selection process then press Done.  Do this twice, but don't print.  Then try to print.
    If that doesn't work, after selecting the printer twice, save the PSD and shut down Photoshop, then restart it and load the file.
    There was a glitch back then where printer settings were getting "staged" in some intermediate place, so that one literally had to make changes twice to get them to "stick".
    If the above doesn't work, once you've selected the printer, try going through the [Page Setup] twice.  I know there was a combination that would "flush" the changes through.

  • Trying to get Photoshop CS4 functional with Mavericks and an Epson 3880 printer. CS4 fails to send a file to the print queue. Have reinstalled the Epson 3880 driver for Mavericks. All looks good but no file is sent.

    rying to get Photoshop CS4 functional with Mavericks and an Epson 3880 printer. CS4 fails to send a file to the print queue. Have reinstalled the Epson 3880 driver for Mavericks. All looks good but no file is sent.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    What EXACT version of Photoshop CS4 are you running?  You should be on Photoshop CS4 v 11.0.2.
    Also run Apple's software update to see whether it offers you the latest Epson update:
    Printer Driver v9.33
    Epson Stylus Pro 3880, Drivers & Downloads - Technical Support - Epson America, Inc.
    MOST IMPORTANTLY:  have Photoshop re-create its own Preferences:
    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 manually 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:
    How to Reset Photoshop CS6’s Preferences File | The Complete Picture with Julieanne Kost | Adobe TV
    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.
