Photoshop CS5 not printing in color!!!

I'm running Mac 10.7.5, with Photoshop CS5. My printer is a Brother MFC-J435W. Until just recently, I've not had any problem printing anything. But a few days ago I can't get the printer to print in color off of Photoshop. Any other program (LibreOffice, Preview, etc...) it prints color images just fine. But all Photoshop documents for the past week have been coming out black and white. I've checked and double checked all the Print dialog settings, and they're all set for color. Puzzled and annoyed does not accurately express things... Help! And thank you in advance...

You have enabled "Photoshop manages color" and are using a specific color profile...

Photoshop CS5 not printing correctly

I am trying to print a jpeg from Photoshop with no luck. I get a thumbnail sized image every time. One thing to note, if I use larger paper the thumbnail scales up.
HP Compaq 8100 Elite running Win 7 Pro x64 SP1
Adobe Photoshop CS5 patched to 12.0.4
Xerox Phaser 7760DN PS
Any help would be appreciated. Trouble shooting steps have included adjusting every print option I could find.

Xerox Phaser 7760DN PS
Well, PS stands for PostScript and there are multiple language levels/ versions of it. If the driver allows, choose a more compatible older one, e.g. level 2 in favor of level 3. Similarly, the printer itself or the driver may offer means to control how specific sub-sets are interpreted, for instance with regards to font handling. Such printing errors often come down to "bad" PostScript being misinterpreted by the printer. If all else fails, also look whether you can install it with PCL emulation or similar wit ha different driver. That may also work...

Photoshop will not print in color

Help! Although my priner settings are set to print in color and teh preview of the document is in color, my printed version will not come out as color. My ink is newly refilled and it is solely a photoshop issue as ive tried printing color with other programs and it is fine.

What kind of color handling are you using?

Photoshop CS5 not printing actual size?

I have created a document in photoshop sized 8.5x11, the same size as my printer paper, at 300dpi. I am using the ruler guidelines onscreen to make an image 6 3/4" wide, but it is printing out too small at 6".
Please note that I am not measuring onscreen by putting an actual ruler up against my screen, I am using the photoshop ruler (so I am sizing according to the 6 3/4" ruler in photoshop, even if it is 8" on my screen)
In the print settings, I uncheck "scale to fit media" and "center image".
What am I doing wrong?

post a screen shot of your process.... it sounds right, but i bet we can catch something in your documentation of this process
thanks

HP Laserjet 300 Color MFP m375nw will not print in color

My HP Laserjet 300 Color MFP m375nw will not print in color. First it would not even print (has something to do with Google Chrome). I uninstalled the program and tried to reinstall the program but it will not complete the whole installation process. Says it has an error, took to long to run. But the Printer is in the DEVICE section, but not in the PROGRAMS on the Control Panel. When I go to print now, I press (Ctrl, Shift, P) and it will on print in Black no Color. If I go to print the normal why and select, I hit Print and then it ask to select a Printer and there is no Printer to select.

HP Photosmart premium not printing correct colors or contrast on photo paper.

My HP Photosmart Premium does not print correct colors or contrast level on photographs using photo paper. This happens with using most any application and setting the paper type to one of the photo papers... By using MS PhotoAlbum and selecting the photo tray then forcing "regular paper", I can get a somewhat decent print (this trick only works with MS PhotoAlbum). When I setup to any of the "photo paper" types, I do not get correct colors or contrast levels (even if the print preview looks good).
I have the same issue with 8.5 x 11 inch photopaper. Unless I select "regular paper" as the paper type, I get incorrect color and contrast (even if the preview looks good). The ICC "Color Profiles" look to be OK (at least the titles are correct).
Anyone have any ideas?

Try the troubleshooting steps in this page. My bet would be the Photo cartridge (the black with the bow tie symbol) is out of ink. This is only used when photo paper is selected, for plain paper printing the regular black cartridge is used.

OJ Pro 8625 will not print in color only shades of gray

Printer was purchased two days ago. The printer will not print in color only black and shades of gray. alignment test on 2/28/15 showed color. cartridges show full.

Hi there @ChuckHilde
Welcome to the HP Community
I saw your post about how you cannot print in color, and I would like to refer you to try the steps I previously recommended in another thread. The printer itself prints in color, therefor there is most likely settings on your Mac that need to be changed.
Click here to get to that thread and try the steps: Re: Printer Only Prints Pictures in Black & White
You should be able to print in color after those steps!

My Photosmart C6280 will not print in color.

My Photosmart C6280 will not print in color.All ink levels are good. Factory defaults clicked. Did I override something without realizing it? I don't see anywhere to click for grayscale. I am using an APPLE AIR....I have also turned the printer off and on again..

Hi there @Ashley31 , welcome to the forums
I read about how you cannot print or copy in color. Not copying in color is concerning, as the copy is a stand alone function that does not involve the computer in any way.
I'd suggest power resetting the printer:
Press the Power button to turn on the product.
With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Wait at least 15 seconds.
Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
You can also remove the ink cartridges and reinsert them and try a color copy again to see if that helps.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you, such as a replacement or trade in. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and if you are calling outside of the US/Canada region,: click here.

Photosmart c4780 will not print in color

Brand new to forums... I am using a MacBook Pro, OS 10.6.8. I recently bought a used photosmart c4780. The owner said it only prints black. When I set everything up, it wouldn't print at all, as the black ink was depleted. I replaced the black cartridge and now it prints. However, even though the color supply levels are at about half full, it will not print in colorI receive no error messages. Have tried different settings in the Print dialog options to no avail. Have not been able to find anything online that addresses this exact issue within the parameters as I've described them. Any help appreciated.

MY printer will not print in color

My laptop and printer are only printing in black and white will not print in color. I have tried printing with a different laptop and it printed the pictures in color.
Can you please help !

Hi there @Aido2014 ,
Welcome to the Community!
I read your post about one of your computers will only print black and white, and not in color. I am writing you back to make my suggestion to you.
I would suggest trying these steps to hopefully get the color printing again: Fixing Print Quality Problems for the HP Deskjet 3050A (J611) All-in-One Printer Series
If everything appears to work fine from that guide, and you still cannot print in color, try running the Print and Scan Doctor. This diagnostic tool will check for any conflicts that could be causing the issue. The tool will show you a report at the end. If there was a problem that the tool could not fix, you will notice it in the results.
Please keep me posted with your results and I will help out some more if needed!
Have an awesome Friday!

TS3147 My HP printers will not print in color.

My MacBook will not print in color either with my old HP 6122 or my HPEnvy 120. Any solutions?

Hey Sarah24,
Thank you for the information. From this it sounds as though the issue is with the preference files for the printer are taking over. There are some long steps that need to be taken.
To start off, you will need to reset the printing system of the Mac. Now if you have more than one printer, you can skip this step. If you only have the one printer, I have included the document 'OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system' http://bit.ly/1bS2qrh.
After this you will need to uninstall the software. Again if you have more than one HP printer installed, please just go with the normal uninstall. If you only have the one HP printer, to do a full uninstall of the software, please follow the steps below.
1. Open the HP folder in the Application folder
2. Open up the HP uninstaller
3. On the page that has you click the uninstall button. Hold Control, Option, and Command, then click uninstall. NOTE: if you have more than one HP printer just click uninstall, without holding down the three keys.
4. Follow through the rest of the uninstall
The next step needs to be done either way. This step is the verify and repair of the disk permissions. I have included the document 'Disk Utility 12.x: Repair disk permissions' http://bit.ly/1bjFnnP. After the repair of the permissions has been completed, please restart the Mac.
Once the restart has completed, you will need to reinstall the software. I have included the link to 'HP ENVY 120 e-All-in-One Printer Full Feature Software and Drivers - OS X 10.9 Mavericks' http://bit.ly/1emTqaj. Please make sure that you either choose recommended install, or all the extra features, such as scanning.
Now once you have the software successfully installed, please click on the Apple Icon, and then on Software Update. Please install all updates that are available to you.
Please let me know the outcome of the troubleshooting.
Thank you.

Where/How to get download for Photoshop CS5 (not Extended)

I am setting up a new computer (Mac) and am not transferring data from old computer (clean install). I own Photoshop CS5 (not the Extended), and need to re-download that version (I had upgraded via Adobe website). The only version I see offered is the Extended, which I do not need or want.
How can I find the download I need? I have all the serial numbers going back to Photoshop 2.
This always fills me with dread, with these applications- most unfriendly.
Thanks

Thank you both.
My account (Your Adobe Product and Online Service Registrations) shows the purchase of Photoshhop 12 (which I assume is CS5). However, the other section which shows purchases is missing this one and several others, whioch were supposedly corrected the last time I went thru this.
I don't see where to figure out whether CS 5 or CS 5.1. I had upgraded when the CS5 came out, and have updated it as updates are available. I guess I can download whatever is available and see if my activation codes work; if not, I guess I can uninstall and talk to Adobe next week.
Thanks!
Rick

Elements 11 - when I try to print a photo, I get this message "photoshop can not print this document"

What do I need to do when I get this message? "Photoshop can not print this document"

Those pixel dimemsions have aspect ratios that are not the same as a 5 x7 print:
1360 x 1360 = 1.0
790 x 640 = 1.23
2048 x 1366 = 1.5
An 7 x 5 image = 1.4.
So you'll need to crop the images to 5 x 7 before printing. The first two images are a little light in the pixels to produce a high resolution 5 x 7 print.
Happy Holidays
