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.

  • All my prints using: Lightroom 5, printer color management turned off, and non-generic ICC profile (e.g. Epson Premium Glossy) have magenta tint or cast

    I'm using PC with: Windows 8.1, 64bit, Lightroom 5.4, Epson R3000, 6.75 (latest) driver, color management turned off in printer settings, Lightroom configured to manage color.  If I use a generic ICC profile such as Epson sRGB, the prints look OK.  But when I use any ICC profile dedicated to my paper and printer combination, such as Epson Premium Glossy, or one created using ColorMunki print profile, the prints all have a medium to heavy magenta tint or cast.  The effect can be seen before I even print in the Epson Print Preview.  Yet when I soft proof, I don't see this effect.  I suspect the problem lies somewhere in the CMM process, but I can't pin it down.  Any tips or suggestions are appreciated.

    Thank you kindly for your insightful response.  As it turns out, the answer is half correct.  I've found others who'll say the same thing, that double color management will lead to a very magenta result.  I believe this was certainly the case when I first started playing with the settings,  Where I went wrong, is that after I corrected my settings by turning off printer manages color and letting Lightroom do the color management, is that the Epson Print Preview was still showing magenta with certain profiles.  Not wanting to waste more money on paper and ink, I used the preview to gauge whether I was going to get a normal print or not.  Then one day I ignored the print preview's magenta cast as a 'warning' and I went ahead printed the photo anyways.  Because I used a profile that I created with ColorMunki Photo, the picture came out perfect (i.e. a very good match to what I was seeing in Lightoom on my monitor).  The lesson learned is that for judging the final color correctness, the Epson Print Preview can be way off target and your best bet is to ignore it.

    Currently using Photoshop CS5, but with a replacement computer and upgrade to Yosemite, keep being told I need to install the legacy Java 6. Currently, Photoshop won't even open. I absolutely do not want to subscribe, don't want to mess with the cloud, just want to buy an upgrade to something that will run for a while longer. I don't care about Lightroom, Bridge, Illustrator, etc.; most of those I've deleted over the years. But I do use Photoshop - or would if it would still run. What options do I have?

    This is the java you need for photoshop cs5 to work on mac os x 10.10 Yosemite
    https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572?locale=en_US
    It's also possible you may have to reinstall photoshop cs5 even after installing the above java, because sometimes the upgrade to mac os x 10.10 messes up the photoshop cs5 installation.
    You can download photoshop cs5 from here if you don't already have the install media.

  • Why does Photoshop CS5 cease working when I try to print a file on my Canon Lasershot LBP7200?

    I am using Photoshop CS5 extended with the latest upgrade 12.0.4.0 installed. My OS is Windows 7 with the latest updates installed. I have a Canon Lasershot LBP7200 Cdn printer installed as a network printer. When I try to print, e.g., a jpeg file using the print command I get an error message that says Photoshop has stopped working and will be shut down. This did not happen before i started installing the updates for Photoshop -- the print commmand in v. 12.0 worked OK. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both the printer and Photoshop but this makes no difference - the file will still not print in v. 12.0.4.0 and the application crashes.

    I thought of something you can try...  Not a very great chance of success, but not too difficult to implement (if a bit geeky)...
    Just in case this might be because of recent security changes Adobe has made regarding loading DLLs, it might be interesting to try putting the name of the folder containing the Canon DLLs into your system's PATH.
    1.  You'll need to figure out in what folder CNAP2SMK.DLL resides.  That's not trivial, as Windows normally avoids searching in System folders by default.  Possibly the most reliable way is to start a CMD window As Administrator then type in the following command:
    DIR C:\CNAP2SMK.DLL /S
    2.  The above command may take a long time to run.  Assuming it finally does yield a folder name containing the DLL file and its cousins as installed by the Canon print driver installer, click Start, then right-click Computer, then choose Properties.  Then click Advanced system settings.
    3.  In the System Properties dialog, click the [Environment Variables...] button.
    4.  In the User variables section at the top, you may already have a PATH variable defined.  If so, double-click it.  If not, click the [New...] button and add the PATH variable.  If it already existed, add a semicolon (;) then the folder name you got from step 1.  If the variable is new, just add the folder name.
    5.  OK out, then log off and back onto Windows.
    6.  Do a test print.
    7.  If it doesn't help, you can go through the same steps to remove the folder from the PATH.

  • Printing from Adobe Photoshop CS5 on a HP Color Laserjet CP5225 printer

    Hi
    When I want to print something out from Photoshop CS5 on my printer I get this error.
    PCL XL Error
    Subsystem: KERNEL
    Error: IllegalOperatorSequence
    File name: derived_scr/1x55.ndbg.kernel.c
    Line number: 1820
    My windows system is Windows xp proffesional with servicepack 3.
    If I print out from other program I don´t get any errors.
    This is a new printer and before I got this I had a HP Color Laserjet CP5225 and there were no
    problems printing out from Adobe Photoshop CS5.
    I really hope someone can help my quickly because I have some tickets I have to print out for tomorrow.
    Kind regards

    You posted in the wrong forum, and an admin moved it for you.
    Unfortunately the error is from the printer driver, not Photoshop.
    Assuming you're using the latest version of Photoshop (12.0.4 or 12.1), you need to contact HP for an updated driver to fix their bugs.
    (if you don't have the latest version - go update now)

  • Problem with exporting and printing from pages to PDF

    I have a problem with my Pages
    My font will not be embeded in my pdf files.
    I have saved as a ps file and in to the destiller and my fonts are missing.
    I need to send my file to the print shop but they will not accept my file and i now understand why.
    fonts are missing...
    Is there a workaround.
    I have no problem in Indesign or quark but pages.....
    I need help
    thanks a zillion

    The font is coming from a notation software Sibelius 4 and is namned opus
    Hmmm ... Sibelius is a music notation software and notations are marked up in MusicXML. Presumably the font file is an SFNT with TrueType splines, but it is probably not installed in OS X system folders - rather in an internal Sibelius application font folder. So presumably you do not see the font in FontBook and OS X font auditing does not apply to the font.
    Sibelius exports EPS files, right? If memory serves, an EPS is still legal even if the font resource is not embedded. And in any case, we know from the behaviour that the font resource is not embedded for some reason. So how do you get Sibelius to put the font resource inside the graphic ... normally there is a button in the EPS export procedure that gives you the option to Embed All Fonts.
    You do not seem to get this button, though. Or why else would you not have checked it already and the problem would have gone away already.
    The next point in troubleshooting this is that you are not following the path that would let OS X detect that an external font resource is not embedded.
    I go from pages-print-printer- acrobat Pro 8-save as Pdf-x
    What you are doing here is telling Pages to tell OS X to generate a PostScript program within which is nested your Encapsulated PostScript program with the call to an unresolved external font resource.
    So why does Acrobat Pro not detect the unresolved external font resource? Hmm ... did you try the Preflight option in Acrobat 8 Pro? It should provide information on unresolved embeddings.
    I have also tried pages-print-printer- acrobat Pro 8 and save pdf as postscript and put the postscript file in destiller 8 pro with defalt setting high quality print
    The whole problem with EPS and PS is that this sort of situation is possible in the first place (plus, what is worse, the PS program can include custom additions to the graphics model that then fail in the PS interpreter whence Apple GX normalizing, Adobe Distiller normalizing, and Apple Quartz normalizing). You want to get as far away from EPS and PS as possible, believe me.
    So, you have not done what I posted that you should do in the first place. If I were you, I would first get rid of the problem that the EPS is making a call to an external font and then get rid of the problem that the PostScript is preserving the external call.
    To get rid of the problem that the EPS is preserving an external call, simply open the EPS in Apple Preview which includes a NORMALIZER for EPS/PS, and then save out the graphic as PDF. Alternatively, if you don't trust Quartz for some reason, set up a hotfolder for Distiller, make sure the option to embed all fonts is enabled, and convert the EPS to PDF.
    Now replace your EPS in Pages with PDF in Pages, and don't save PostScript to disk but save PDF to disk through the proper procedure which is File > Print > PDF > Save as PDF/X [for your custom configuration of the PDF/X-3 filter considering that no sane person in North Europe prints lowend US SWOP, we use ISO].
    If you begin by telling OS X that you want PDF within which fonts are supposed to be embedded ALWAYS, then you have started the right way. Otherwise, you have not told the operating system what you want to do, and this then leads you into places where you are unlikely to have the expertise to troubleshoot problems.
    So, forget placing EPS in the first place, place PDF. And forget saving PostScript to disk, save PDF to disk. If that does not sort your problem, here is the dirty solution for professional prepress.
    Adobe Photoshop has an EPS rasterizer that has wide tolerances for poor PostScript programming (so does Adobe Illustrator 6 and higher by the way).
    Therefore, if an EPS is posing problems, one workaround is to rasterize the EPS at high resolution in Photoshop and place that high resolution PDF in your layout.
    Take care that you rasterize as 1 bit at the required resolution of the print provider, probably 2450 dpi. When you save the 1 bit as PDF, Photoshop automatically compresses to a very, very small file (don't be surprised if 15Mb compresses to something like 0.5Mb).
    Rasterizing in Photoshop should not be necessary if you simply start by telling the operating system what it is you are trying to do. Then the operating system should be able to take the right decisions for you, and tell if you if finds problems it cannot resolve without turning to you.
    Good luck,

  • The Epson 3800 printing dark problem Windows XP and 7

    CS-4 on a dual boot machine that used to have an Epson 2200 (it died) connected that didn't have the problem with some of the same files.
    Like many, I am having the "prints too dark problem. Does the European driver v. 6.61 September 3, 2009 (US driver is 6.50) solve the problem?
    The copy the layer and set blending option to screen helps a bit.
    Drop down to 8-bit color and lighten via Variations helps a bit.
    Would transfering the files to another computer and printing through CS original or the version before that help?
    I am following, step by step the manual, setting. Proof colors set to the paper, Driver shows proper paper. Driver color management turned off with Photoshop manageing the color, etc.
    Any other suggestions?
    Thank you and have a happy Thanksgiving.

    Cured.
    Uninstalled "latest and greatest" driver.
    Reinstalled the older one on the included CD.
    As I use Prophoto color space, now make sure that the gamma=1 in the driver settings.
    Problem cured.

  • CS5 Extremely Slow to Open, Save and Print

    We have recently installed InDesign CS5.  We are experiencing extreme slowness when open, saving and printing documents.  We have installed on Windows XP Service Pack 3.  I have upgrade to 7.0.3 to no avail.  Has anyone else experienced this?  If so, were you able to resolve it?

    I can create and save new CS5 files fine both to the desktop and the network.  I tried copying our existing files to the desktop to see if there was a network issue.  It is also extremely slow to open from the desktop.  I'm beginning to wonder if it is our documents.  They were created in CS3.  I tested one that was 2 pages of text with a few graphics.  It took a considerable amout of time to open.  I made some edits to it and saved it to the desktop.  I would have thought that saving it in the new CS5 format would have improved the slowness.  It did not.
    I was on a support call with Adobe yesterday for 2 1/2 hours.  To say it was extremely frustrating is an understatement.  They have asked me to re-download the install, uninstall and reinstall.  I did not re-download, but did uninstall and reinstall from the EXE we have.  Slowness is still an issue.  I'm inquiring regarding our antivirus, however, I don't think that is the issue.  We were able to open files in CS3 just fine.  It seems to be since the upgrade to CS5 that we are having issues.
    Whenever you contact anybody's tech support:
    * Get the name of the tech, and any other identifying info
    * Get a case number
    * Explain your question/problem briefly; begin by saying, "I'm going to explain my problem briefly. Before we spend lots of time on it, I'll ask you if you have expertise in this particular area. I don't mean to be rude, but if you don't have sufficient expertise here, we'll both waste our time. If this isn't OK with you, I understand; we all have strong and less-strong areas. If you don't have the expertise, please give me the name of someone who has the the greatest amount of the expertise needed to solve the problem, and then transfer me to that person. If you can't do this, please give me your supervisor or manager's name, and transfer me to that person. Would you like me to state my problem briefly, now, so that we can go ahead?"
    * If you have the slightest inkling that you're being told to do wasteful things like re-download, uninstall and reinstall, ask the tech, "Is this a known fix for my problem? If it's not, why are you asking me to do this?" (Some techs suggest these steps to get you off the line and move on to another call, either because their call clearance rate is slipping, and that's how many are paid. Others suggest them because they don't have the expertise to solve the problem.)
    * If you're transferred to a manager or supervisor, summarize why you asked for him or her. Then, ask the manager to transfer you to the highest-skilled person for the problem you'll now explain briefly. If the manager/supervisor balks, ask for the highest-level person in the department, or the division. IOW, ESCALATE (use that word, when asking to change people.)
    It's not the customer's job to teach customer service folks to serve customers, but we're the best ones to teach them now NOT to do it.
    Now, if you don't have the expertise to do these things, please give me the name of your superior, so I can escalate this matter, and then connect me to that person!

  • Problem with file and printer sharing

    I just installed a Linksys WRT54G to replace a D-Link wireless router and cannot reestablish my file and printer sharing since replacing the router.  I had file and printer sharing working fine before installing the WRT54G.   All of the computers are running either XP Pro or 2000 Pro.  I have two printers attached to one of my computers that I was previously sharing with all of the other computers on our home network.  One is attached via a parallel port, the other via a USB port.  
    Here's what I've tried so far without success.
    1.  The IP of the WRT54G is 192.168.1.1, and the IP's it assigns to my LAN computers begin 192.168.1.XXX.  The old IP of the D-Link was 192.168.0.1 and its LAN IPs were 192.168.0.XXX, so I've gone into my firewall and changed the settings for the range of trusted computers to correspond to the WRT54G's IP addresses.
    2.   I've tried uninstalling the printers and reinstalling them, including reinitializing printer sharing.
    3.  When I try to use the Windows  "Add printer" wizard to add a networked printer, it can see the computer that has the printers attached, but it does not see the printers.
    4.  I haven't fooled around with the file sharing settings, but they've all be lost too, so I suspect there is a common problem for both printer and file sharing.
    Any suggestions would be most welcome.  I don't know what would be different about the WRT54G that would cause this problem.

    Try this to Enable File and Printer Sharing...Turn Off the Router Firewall...Make sure the Windows Firewall is also Off...

  • Mac Mini Printer Compatiblity Problems in Firefox and Safari

    Can anyone recommend a printer brand that will allow me to print the content from Safari or Firefox? What a pain in the butt this is. I can't get either to print selected content off the Web, unless I save it as another document, and print it from that software. Both will show the full content in print preview, then spit out REAMS of blank paper, maybe with one sentence from the outside areas of the web page on it. I have been less than happy about how the printer options panel is set up, too. I have an older HP2100, and it has never worked well with my Mac Mini anyway, even after updating the driver, etc.

    Although I have no great love for HP printers I'm not sure that's the problem. Printing directly from a browser is usually a crap-shoot regardless of the printer. There's a lot of stuff "behind the scenes" that you can't see but the computer does. I've gotten to the point that I rarely print from either of my browsers - Safari & FireFox - I'd much rather clean it up first rather than take a chance [likelihood] of wasting time & paper as well as ink.

  • Problems with capturing and printing-to-tape using FCP4

    Having trouble logging footage and printing to video using FCP4.
    1) When we log-in footage (capture) it constantly stops and says, "dropped frames". This usually happens after 10-15 minutes of logging-in footage. Why is this happening??
    2) When we Print-To-Tape, it will suddenly stop! Sometimes it will continue Printing-To-Tape, but without audio!
    Is this a common problem? Should we re-install FCP4?
    We've done all the software updates, but we're still experiencing these problems. We've also cleared up our computer by deleting old FCP4 projects.
    We have a G4 with three internal Hard Drives with approx 180GB each. We're using the Sony DSR-11 as our Mini-DV deck.
    Help!!!!

    We don't have Virex or Norton software in the machine. We have Disk Warrior which was helpful in the past with other problems. Should I run another check using Disk Warrior?
    We only have one machine which has three internal drives. We've experienced the same problems using each of the drives.
    We do have some video stored in the system drive, but normally we don't use that drive. The system drive currently has 70GB availble, as do each of the other internal drives.
    We have updated our FCP to 4.5, but should we trying re-installing it?
