Photoshop CS5 print dialog

I am trying to print with my new 27" imac i7 (G5 forced upgrade), Snow Leopard, Epson 4000, Epson Driver 8.19 and Pshop CS5 and having a weird thing occur. In the past (CS4 on G5) I have always gone into the Pshop print dialog box and shrunk the image and repositioned it to run sequential test, same sheet before I make the larger print version. The old G5 would send the image to the printer the epson 4000 would load the paper move it the the correct location print the small area and spit out the paper. Now I send, it the printer loads the paper and as if you are printing the whole sheet image the head moves the entire width and length of the sheet but only lays down ink to where I designated in the dialog box. So the test takes as long as a full size print. Any ideas whats up?
Thanks

No, no presets but you can record the settings in an action. The action can record printer, printer settings and color management settings.

Saving Photoshop CS5 Print dialog box presets or defaults?

This question was asked in 2008 for PS CS3 with no answer, so I will ask it again...
OS 10.6.4
Using Canon iPF 5100 and 6100 printers
CS 5 Photoshop
Is there a way to set a preset in the PS Print dialog window for 'Photoshop manages color' and the ICC profile so that I do not have to reset them every time I print?
Also, where does PS pull the information for the printers pop-up menu near the top of the Print dialog box? Is this a preset or is it just pulling these printer names from the OS? I ask this because when I switch between one of the iPF printers, the Print > Color Management section defaults back to 'Printer Manages Color' and greys out the profile pop-up menu.
Thanks.

The ability to output halftones (separations) and set screen angles, etc., from the CS5 print dialog

I output films from photoshop that are used to expose silkscreens. often, i output halftones and up until CS5 i've done this from the print dialog where i can also set my screen angles and dot shapes, press print and off it goes to my printer. It has been suggested to me in the photoshop macintosh forum that i might simply build a script to convert the individual channels to bitmaps at the printer resolution, angle, shape and then print that. unfortunately, this method results in less accurate screens and fails to take advantage of what my postscript printer can do. this is the only reason i have a postscript capable printer. i used this workaround method before i bought the postcript printer and the results just weren't very good.
my workaround is to keep CS3 installed and print from that. this is a hassle and less than optimal. i was quite surprised to find that this "feature" which has been available in photoshop for many years suddently disappeared. please give some thought to bringing it back. i expect that i'm not the only shop that's going to miss it.
you can see some commentary on this in the ps mac forum. look for "setting line screen in CS5."

Hey Ken, I personally haven't used that feature in years but it was
very useful when printing separations for t-shirts so I feel for ya. I
noticed it's still in CS4 if that helps. Also, you may try
experimenting with the following filters:
RGB FILES:
Filter > Sketch > Halftone Pattern
RGB or CMYK FILES:
Filter > Pixelate > Color Halftone
GRAYSCALE FILES:
Image > Mode > Bitmap > Method > Halftone Screen
Also, InDesign allows you to print custom screen angles and line
rulings but not dot shape.
Good luck!

HT204135 Photoshop CS5 Printing Problem on iMac with Epson 3880 printer

All of a sudden I can't print from Photoshop CS5 on my iMac with OSX Mountain Lion installed. I am able to print from Illustrator, however. Have tried to update the Epson 3880 driver. After clicking on "Print", it doesn't register with the computer, and from then on, the "Print" option is greyed out.

Are you using moab icc profiles or are you using one of the epson profiles?
I always use the moab profiles which you can download from their Web site. This way you are matching the specific epson printer with the specific moab paper.
At that point you change the printer manages color to Lightroom manages color and select the specific profile. Very easy to do - they even have instructions on the Moab site for installing the profiles if you haven't done that.
Once installed you can also use them through the system print dialogs in PS but it is really much much easier to use in LR - Since coming on board with LR last summer, I have switched to doing ALL printing from LR. Since you mentioned that you are having the same problem with LR and PS, I'm betting you are using epson profiles and this will solve your problem.
Hope so
Tom

Photoshop CS5 .PNG dialog broken?

I've noticed that consistently when I save a .png in Photoshop CS5 I get a dialog box that looks like the image below. This is happening on both my Mac Pro and Macbook Pro two separate installs. While this dialog is easy to work around I noticed today that this was happening in the filter effects window as well making it very difficult to discern what button does what. I didn't see anything in the forums or on Google. Am I the only one experiencing this?

No, no presets but you can record the settings in an action. The action can record printer, printer settings and color management settings.

Photoshop cc print dialog box image dark

I'm on a MacBook Pro running Mt. Lion with PS CC, an Eizo monitor, printing with an Epson 3880, calibrated and profiled with a ColorMunki. When I preview an image to print, the image is darker in preview, and the color is much different than the actual image. When I print with the proper paper profile, (photoshop manages color and the space is Adobe 1998) it prints looking like the preview image rather tha the one on the monitor. I also run Snow Leopard on a partition with CS6, and the above does not happen, everything works fine. A photog friend of mine with a similar setup is experiencing the same problem since upgrading to Mt. Loin. Another graphic designer friend is running Mavericks and is has the same problem. I have another photog friend in Nashville who is having THE SAME PROBLEM!! Does anyone know what the heck is going on? I'm the only one who kept Snow Leopard so I can still print, which I do on almost a daily basis. What broke what? Is it a bug with PS CC, or did something in MT. Lion break? This is very frustrating for all of us and I find it totally unacceptable.
If anyone has a clue and can help, we would be eternally greatfull.
Thanks,
Greg Nikas

Thanks for the tip on inserting photos. I'm new here, won't post a link in the future.
I'll try to simplify my issue;
1. In CS6 in Snow Leopard, the original/source image looks just like the image in the print dialog box and prints beautifuly. See images below.
Original image.
Print dialog box image.
2. In PS CC and CS6 in Mt. Lion, the original/source image is redder and more saturated than the image in the print dialog box, but the print looks like the the image in the print dialog box. The image in the print dialog box looks like the original/source image in CS6 in Snow Leopard! See images below.
Original image.
Print dialog box image.
3. The issue seems to be with how the original/source image in PS CC and CS6 renders in Mt. Lion. As I said in my intial post, I have three friends who are having the same problem and none of us can figure it out, and I'm the only one who kept Snow Leopard.
4. I'm on a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard and Mt. Lion on a partitioned disk.
5. I have an Eizo CG222W monitor, which is calibrated with an x-rite ColorMunki. Each OS has it's own calibration profile.
6. I print on an Epson 3880 using the latest driver, and all papers have thier own profile and look the same when printed from either OS.
7. All settings in PS CC, CS6 and Bridge are identical in both OS's.
I hope this is stated more clearly.

Photoshop CS5 Printing Preset Problem

I am trying to print from Photoshop CS5 to a Konica Bizhub c451 printer that uses account tracking and user authentication. But, when attempting to print from photoshop CS5 the printer preset doesn't have the same options (doesn't allow us to put in owner information) as the other CS5 products. For example I am able to print from Illustrator CS5 but not Photoshop CS5. I am also able to print from Photoshop CS3 on the same computer but not CS5. Any ideas?

Photoshop CS5 printer functions unavailable on new 21" imac, OS X version 10.6.4

Epson Stylus Photo 2200 printer, with the newest driver will not allow me to perform several important functions in Photoshop CS5 These functions are available to me in Photoshop CS2 on a G4 laptop.
When photoshop (as opposed to the printer) is assigned to manage colors in the printer's driver, "ColorSync" and "Epson Color Controls" are grayed out under print settings > color matching.
The printer profile is not available when I set photoshop to manage the color ( only when the printer manages the color).
Under print settings >print settings> ink, the color ink option is grayed out and the black ink option is not there.
These functions are very important for accurate color matching. I would appreciate any thoughts you have. Thank you.

Not to sound silly, but have you rebooted? Sometimes features work better after a clean exit or reboot. Also it might be helpful if we know your running Rossetta or not. You did download the latest drivers from site and did not use the CD correct? EPSON is really clear about not using the CD in Snow. Assuming your running Snow Leopard. If you did and tried to do an uninstall the preferences have files that often are not deleted and hence could be locking out features. Just suggestions like you asked. Don't want to confuse you.
You installed this one correct:
epson13564.dmg - 10MB - posted on 11/25/09
This file contains the Epson Stylus Photo 2200 Printer Driver v8.12.
Also knowing what color profile your using for the display might be helpful. Not to sound far fetched, but under the printer you might take it out and put it in again under Print & Fax, but look at the features it can install.
I got the new iMac 27' and still have not gotten some of my printers in the office to work. So I know what your going through.
All the best,
Bob J.

Hello Joe,
Funny enough, I was just about to run this test and happened to check with another tech about this. Apparently another customer had gotten in touch with us regarding the same issue and after confirming this, found that it is a bug. As such, this has been logged and we should hopefully see a fix for it in our future updates.
Please continue to check our software downloads page for this update (we do an update roughly every 6 to 8 weeks). Thanks for your patience.

InDesign CS5 - Print Dialog does not load (windows).

I just installed InDesign CS5 and when I go to print a document, the print dialog does not come up. I only get an hourglass cursor. When I try to export to a PDF the resulting PDF is 0kb and obviously corrupt.
What do I do to fix this?

Don't have a clue about the print dialog, but you may be unaware that PDF export is now a background task and you may be trying to open the PDF before it's finished. To check the progress go to Window > Utilities > Background Tasks.
There are some reports of the background task stalling in certain cases. This is a bug, Adobe is aware of it, and a solution is in the works, but no definite inopfrmation on a release date for the fix is available. If you search the forum you'll find a couple of threads discussing it, including a link to a script to do the export inthe foreground if necessary.
For the print problem, you can try Replace Your Preferences, but I'm not hightly optimisitic that this is a prefs issue. It would help if you told us about the OS and your printer, and what language you installed. Have you updated to 7.0.2?

Photoshop CS5 Print Printing problem: print count and print to ICC profile

Since Adobe still haven't acknowledge the printing issue with CS5, I start this thread to report my own problems.
Problem 1:
print copy count is not working. The first print is always one print regardless how many copies you set in the dialog window. The next print will actually print the copies set in the previous print job.
This is a well documented problem, and until today no fix. I am not too worried about this problem because I can always print one copy each time to get job done, until the day Adobe acknowledge and fix the problem.
Problem 2:
when I let the Photoshop manage color and print to a custome ICC profile (generated by Spyer3Print), Photoshop RANDOMLY decides to print a light colored magenta cast picture. It's like Photoshop has used the wrong ICC. Now every time I print a 13x19, I have to pray. Because this thing is so random, I can't even reproduce the problem consistantly.
here's the information about my system:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit (not a fresh system) with 8GB RAM. Printer drivers installed: Canon Pro9000II, Canon MP600, Epson 1400.
I experience problem 2 after I installed CS5 with Epson 1400 printer, but not too frequent. Later on I installed drivers for Epson R1800, Epson R2400, and I mainly print with R2400. All the printer drivers, software updates are the lastest available.
I was a software developer. I wrote windows application before. I am pretty sure the problem is with CS5 based on my knowledge. If I wrote an Windows application that crashs Windows or another party's appliction, I certainly would not blame Microsoft or another party for not writing a bulletproof system. I would try to find a workaround in my own application. That's just my take. Adobe may have different mind set. They are still pointing finger to MS and Epson.

I don't condone the problems, but a workaround I've recently read about for the copy count problem is to do the following, in order:
1. Set the copy count you want.
2. Click the Print Settings... button to enter the printer driver setup dialog.
3. [OK] out.
4. Print
This is reported to get the proper copy count into the print driver and make it "stick". I just tried it and it seems to work.
Keep in mind you may want to go through this again after printing to get the copy count to default back to 1 for the next print.

Photoshop CS5 Printing problems on Canon MP620 - why is Quality & Media crossed out?

Hi
I used to print from Photoshop CS3 on my Macbook Pro 10.5.8 Intel to my Canon MP620 with no problem. Now with CS5 when I press Print Setting the options for Quality & Media (where you select paper type etc.) and the menu options below it are all crossed out and I can't access them. When I contacted Canon they told me that they do not support 3rd Party Software.
Anyone else had this probelm and know how to fix it?
Thanks for your help!

It's great that there is a help page for this, and I did previously look for it. Probably didn't use the right keywords. However, after following the instructions for synchronizing color settings (setting "Best Workflow CS5" in Bridge as recommended by Deke), I found the printouts to be exactly the same as before. BTW, it was set by default to North America General Purpose 2 for the suite. I'll have to look into this more tomorrow.
Thank you,

Photoshop CS5 printer alignment?

Hi there;
My printer is printing oddly from Photoshop. The colors seem to be out of alignment and it looks all screwed up. For example, brown eyes look a freakish white/blue.
I aligned the printer and I reset CS5's settings by deleting the settings file.
Thank you for your attention.

What type of printer do you have? What type of color handling are you using? Is it only when printing from Photoshop?

CS5 print dialog missing Epson 7800 profiles

Is there a simple way to get my Epson printer profiles to load onto CS5. I'm normally quite good at solving these things by myself, but this case has me well stumped. Help anyone?

Again: in CS5, the profiles that the driver says belong to the selected printer will show up at the top of the menu. Any custom profiles you have built for that printer will also be in the menu, in the normal alphabetical list.
If there are no profiles at the top, that is because the driver hasn't identified any profiles as belonging to the chosen printer.
If there are no additional profiles listed, that is because there is a problem with how you installed them on the system.
We haven't seen any problems with this yet.
