Photoshop Elements 9 Printer Driver Problems with Canon MP600 printer

I'm having problems using my Canon MP600 printer with Photoshop Elements 9 with regard to the paper allocation. The MP600 has 2 paper trays and for some reason when using Elements it prefers you to use the top loading (auto sheet feeder) method all the time. For space reasons I need to use the bottom cassette. When you initially go into the settings for the printer within elements you can choose the cassette and paper type etc no problem and make a print. When you go back in to do another print it changes the setting back to auto sheet feeder so you have to change it back again which is winding me up! I have got the latest drivers for the printer and they are set up to how I would like the printer to work but Elements changes some of those settings for some reason. Does anyone know a way of fixing this please ?? When I'm not in Photoshop if I go to print something from the web it performs perfectly so I can only assume its Elements thats changing the settings.
Also when I print small thumbnail sized pictures on an A4 sheet of paper to test what the photo colour will look like when I go back into the print menu it puts the thumnail picture back in the center of the sheet of A4 rather than leaving it where it was, so then you have to put in the top and sideways measurements again to carry on ! The last version of Photoshop I had never did that. Does anyone know had to solve that problem ?? Any thoughts on the above problems would be gratefully recieved !

Thank you for your suggestions. I downloaded a more recent version of Twain, but this didn't help. I also tried closing and opening Photo Shop and restarting my computer without success. Reinstalling Photo Shop sounds like a very promising solution, but I'm not sure I will do it. In the meantime I can scan items using a printer program. These scans open in Photo Shop. It is an extra step.

Print driver problem with OS 10.4.6

I recently installed 10.4.6 and ever since have been unable to print via a network on a Lexmark Optra T614 (duplex). All was working fine until the upgrade to 10.4.6. I have downloaded a driver from Lexmark's website and successfully installed it to my system via the wizard - message was "you have successfully installed . . . ". However cannot find it to install through the Print Centre. I am running it through a router shared with a PC (Windows 2000). No problems at the Pc end. As I said prior to purchasing 10.4.6 all was working fine. I have tried to set up to print through the local network via the PC - without success. At one point (not sure what I did) actually got the Mac talking to the printer. The lights were activated and it made a few attempts but then cancelled out. I then tried something else and it didn't work, so now I am back to where I was when I started. Can you help with this one Greg? regards Ian

Hi Greg, Still no answer to my printing problem.
The Optra T driver is probably right.
I trashed the drivers and did a fresh download and reinsatlled. It is an Optra T driver.
Since you can't print using generic postscript, I don't think you
have a driver problem. If the printer supports LPD or
IPP, you probably need to enter a device queue name
in Printer Setup. (No queue name for HP Jetdirect
protocol) L1, P1, LPT1, and print are common queue names
I have set up so that Printer Name is 192.168.0.200. This automatically selected Lexmark Optra T. Also the queue name appeared as 192_168_0200-1. Host name was blank and Driver Version 10.4 and PPD File Version is 10.4.3.3.0. I tried to print the Print box showed Preparing . . then Processing Page 1 and dissapeared in the normal manner. I opened the Printer Monitor (in the dock) and it showed the job in the queue as it should and the Status showed: printing. The blue bar scrolls and the message Connected to 192.168.0.200 comes up. The printer shows no sign of receiving the file. I have done this numerous times. I have also keyed in the computer name in the location and still no go - just the same outcome. The computer name is ian-brownlees-computer.local.
Look in the printer manual or google for it.
Unfortunately I don't have a manual but have been trying to locate one.
Any further clues??

Intermittent Print/Scan Problems with Canon MF8380Cdw on Wireless Network

For nearly a year now, I've experienced problems printing and scanning using the Canon MF8380Cdw on our network. The most troubling are the intermitent problems getting the printer to respond during a print job after the device has been found on the network. Less troubling but still annoying are the problems scanning: it's very difficult to initiate a scan job. It usually requires trying to initiate the job from the printer AND from the computer in quick succession. I have reinstalled drivers many times. Why isn't printing and scanning effortless?
Print sequence messages in the Canon MF8300C Series print manager:
Printing - Looking for printer: takes a long time.
Printing - Connecting to printer: takes a long time.
Printing - The printer is not responding: takes a long time; indicates failure.
Some information that may help:

Canon MF8300C Series driver, version 10.0.0

Base station, laptop, and printer are all in the same corner of the same room--signal strength is not an issue. Have had problems, previously, when printer was connected to switch via ethernet. So... Nice thought, but I don't believe that's it.
Other things that didn't work: restarting printer, restarting computer.
Is it possible that OS updates mess with the driver, requiring reinstallation? Our PC users do not seem to have these issues.
I am also using a non-UFR II driver this time, but per a suggestion from a forum, I tried UFR II previously. I have read many forum exchanges involving Canon/Mac problems and have tried several solutions proposed by PAHU.
Reinstalled printer driver again today, and I can print again (for now), but it's an intermittent problem, likely to return.
Thoughts?

OS X print driver problem with PDF (only)

Why is it that I cannot print a PDF (only – all other documents print fine) from my MacPro 5,1 OS X 10.7.5 to my HP LaserJet 4050N using the latest HP driver, but I have no problem whatsoever printing the same PDF to the same printer using the Gutenprint CUPS driver? With the HP driver I get spooling file 10% for an hour before I give up.
I have tried printing from Adobe Reader, Acrobat and Preview (all latest versions) with the same result.

Nuthin? Not even finger pointing?

Epson R2880 printer driver problems with Snow Leopard

I’m running 10.6.4 on a new Mac mini and I’m trying to print to a new Epson R2880. If I let the system choose the printer driver in the print and fax utility, I get a sort of generic print dialogue box without many options, but it prints. If I go into the print and fax utility and manually choose the driver, I get a different print dialog box with all the appropriate print options. I checked and it matches the screen shots for this printer that are posted on the Epson site, so I feel sure this the correct driver. However, when I try to print with this driver, I get this error message. Error:/Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpll.app/Contents /MacOS/rastertoescpll failed.
This seems to be a common problem with Snow Leopard and the R2880 Epson printers, and it seems that most people are able to solve it by deleting the printer from the printer queue and resetting the printer queue. But that hasn’t solved my problem.
Here’s what I’ve done:
Manually deleted the Epson folder from the hard drive and trashed it, repaired disk permissions, uninstalled the Epson driver, updated software, downloaded and installed the Apple/Epson driver, deleted the printer from the print queue, and reset the printer queue. I’ve done all of these things several times over. And still I get the same error message every time I try to print from the driver with the print options. Does anyone have any other suggestions for a fix?

Some of the previous users had success when they restarted after deleting the /Library/Printers/EPSON and /Library/Caches/Epson folders. You might also try deleting the /Library/Cache folder. There is a solution posted from someone at Epson:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10909012#10909012
Substitute 2880 for RX580:
Make sure that you have completely removed the Stylus Photo RX580 driver, then install the new driver from System Update:
1. Power off the printer
2. Open System Pref. and Print/Fax
3. Highlight the RX580 printer
4. Click on the ""-"" sign
5. Close Print and Fax
6. Open your Mac's Hard Drive
7. Open the Library Folder
8. Open Printer and delete the EPSON Folder
9. Open the PPDs folder find the Epson Stylus Photo RX580.gz and delete the file
10. Close the PPD and the Printer folder
->11. In the Library folder, open the Caches Folder
->12. Delete the Epson folder
->13. Restart the Mac
14. Power on the printer
15. Click on the Apple Icon and System Update
16. Follow the directions to install the new driver
Hope this helps.

Print driver problems with OS X version 10.4.6

I recently installed TIGER 10.4.6 and have been unable to print on a Lexmark Optra T614 (duplex). All was working fine until the upgrade to TIGER!! I have downloaded a driver from Lexmark's website and (supposedly) successfully installed it to my system via the wizard. However cannot find it to install through the Print Centre. I am running it through a router shared with a PC. As I said prior to purchasing TIGER all was working fine. Getting to the point of reverting back to 10.2.3 so I can actually do some work. Has anyone any suggestions - apart from reverting back to 10.2.3

I am having the same problem. My HO Deskjet 3620 was working fine till I upgraded to 10.4.6. Now I can't add a printer and I can't reinstall my priner software.

Problems with Canon MF4450 printer...

I have a Canon MF4450. I have all the updated drivers from Apple and from Canon, but when I seek to 'add' it on as a printer, there is no entry for it - it is not recognized by the machine. What can I do to fix this?

Thanks for trying the new cable. At least now it can be ruled out as a cause. This result would then suggest the printer at fault but with it working on Windows then it would also rule it out.
So like you I don't know why the MF is not appearing in System Information. For your reference I have taken a screen grab of my System Information view showing the MF4580 connected to the USB High-Speed Bus.
Was 10.8 a new installation on this Mac or was it an upgrade from 10.7/10.6?
Do you know anyone with a Mac? It would be interesting to check what happens with that Mac. You would not need to install the driver. Just connect it via USB and then open System Information.

PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 6 COMPATABILITY PROBLEM WITH VISTA?

My shortcut icons on my desktop and icons in my programme list have all changed to photoshop logos and only now open photoshop with exception of the ebay shortcut and the email and internet logo in the programme list. Is there a compatability issue with Windows Vista or an update that resolves this ?

This is a forum, not a live chat. Expecting an answer within 3 minutes is just not, erm well, clever. To answer your question: No, PSE 6 is not compatible with Win 8. You need to upgrade to PSE 11.

Usb for 1510 all-in-one printer causing problems with it accepting print jobs

I am having trouble downloading the driver for a 1512 all-in-one printer. It was working for about a week and it is not working now. I loaded the suggested driver 1510 all-in-one driver but when I get to plugging in the usb from my Windows 7 laptop to the printer, it does not feel it is connected. I can print items that I scan but am puzzled how it will not print. The only thing I have deduced is I need a new usb cable. I bought on ebay as I've always had good luck with hp products.
Sparky325

I decided that in spite of the fact that it had previously printed, I got another USB cord and used that and then the printer worked. The one I received with the printer must have been too loose to make a connection. This one feels snug when i need to print from my laptop. Thanks for your help. Sparky 325

Windows 7 - HP Laserjet 8500 print driver problem

I have tried everything imaginable to correct this HP 8500n print driver problem with no success, please help!
I cannot correct or get rid of a reoccurring “Incompatible Print Settings” error dialog box message that repeatedly states that “There are one or more conflicting settings. One of the settings is: Output Bin: Mailbox 1, Accessory Output Bin: Not Installed”. The radio button options are “Restore my previous settings or Keep this setting, and I will change it later”. This same dialog message repeats 13 times for all the other various conflicts each time you click on printer properties to change to 2 sided printing or any other printer settings. This printer does not have any of these features attached or set into it.
I am a volunteer that manages a number of computers on our small church LAN, 2 computers operating on MS XP-SP3, 2 on MS Windows 7 Home Premium and my 2 problem computers that came pre-installed with Vista Home Premium of which I have performed an HP OEM upgrade to Window 7.
I have isolated this print driver problem to the Vista operating system and even when computers are upgraded to Windows 7 does not correct this driver error. I have also tried every possible print driver variant of the HP 8500, HP8550, PCL, PS to include the Microsoft versus HP versions with no success. In each case I get this error yet neither of the XP computers or the computers that had Windows 7 as a original operating system have no problems with their print drivers for this printer.
Yes, I have repeatedly searched and upgraded the operating system and print drivers. In desperation I have even tried to find the correctly behaving Windows 7 print driver and transfer it to these Vista upgraded to Windows 7 machines. However I could not isolate the driver location.
The only thing I can conclude is that this errant HP print driver was resident within Vista and remains resident even after a HP OEM Windows 7 upgrade. Additionally, all of these computers are configured to access this printer via its static IP address on the network. The XP computers are 32 bit, all of the Vista upgraded to Win 7 and OEM Win 7 computers are 64 bit machines all with respective OS.
Can anyone please help me correct this problem?

Hi,
Unfortunately I can't see your uploaded image yet as it is awaiting approval from HP.
From what I can see you are correct that HP does supply drivers for this printer and that the drivers for your printer are already included with Windows 7. On the machines affected, try the procedure below to see if it helps at all
Next download revo uninstaller on the link below and install it.
http://www.revouninstaller.com/download-freeware-version.php
Disconnect the printer from the PC.
Run Revo and see if it finds any HP Printer Software installed. If it does, right click the software icon and select uninstall. During the process you may be asked to delete registry entries. If you are, just select all and click delete. Do the same for any left over files and folders. Once completed, reboot the PC.
Re-connect your printer to the PC and follow the guide below.
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?&objectID=c02536257
If this helps you will need to repeat the process on each of the affected machines.
Best wishes,

Printing problem with Canon LBP3370

I'm having an issue relating to the Canon LBP3370.
I also notice that Canon Europe seem to have removed all trace of any MacOSX drivers from the support page for this printer.
I have an 'early' MBP running 10.6.6 w/ Suitcase3, QXP8.5 and CS5.
Just bought a MacMini updated to 10.6.7. Same software. Same files. Same fonts.
I have one file which gets printed weekly from a template in QXP. It prints fine on the MBP on a Canon LBP3370 using the last 'auto updated' driver. Not sure how to check the version number of the driver, but it works. I looked in 'About this Mac' and looked up the printer, and it says driver version is 2.0 - then again, it says the same for the version on the MacMini, which was installed today using an installer marked 2.24.
On the MacMini, the same file, on the same software yields an output error to the printer and requests the printer be switched to 'raster' mode in 'Quality' settings in order to print, which I understand yields diminished quality on more complex files.
I experimented with the file, removing elements and isolating them in another document to test if they print OK on the MacMini. 99% of all the page elements print just fine including a complex EPS without switching to 'raster' mode. All except for... wait for it... a SINGLE weight of the Adobe Helvetica Neue LT Std OpenType font. The document has about seven separate weights of the same font in use, and it is only one of them that triggers this problem.
I've scanned the font completely for errors and corruption and it gets a clean bill of health. The exact same font, on the MBP, using the same software and the same printer, but used on 10.6.6 prints perfectly without having to switch to raster mode.
Bizarre.
What actually is the difference between UFR and Raster modes anyway? How do I fix this? It seems more likely to be a 10.6.7 issue than a Canon driver issue specifically... I notice the webs full of people commenting on 10.6.7 causing problems with OpenType fonts.
Any ideas?

sig
Not really, thanks anyway. I'm already on a later driver than that.
PAHU
Thanks for the input. I'm still somewhat confused by the aparrent existence of two different problems - first the sheer number of complaints that 10.6.7 in itself has broken a good deal of OpenType font functionality, particularly in the PostScript flavour, and second that users have been having similar specific problems with this exact printer which appears to be a result of a driver in need of fixing.
I'm not sure which option to place my bet on, or whether indeed the two are, in fact, connected and the development of the 2.24 and later drivers are in essence 'fixes' for the 'breakage' introduced by 10.6.7 in general.
The part that confuses me most is that it is a single weight out of five weights of the same font used in the same document which causes the problem. Part of me says that the solution is to just abandon that specific weight, but then another part of me says that I'm managing some three thousand faces on this system, any of which could need to be used, and I cannot test all of them to disable or deactivate the weights (or families) which might cause issues.
Can you point me in the direction of a clean, pure source of 2.24 for UK English, which I cannot find on the Canon Europe website at all (certainly on the UK site, all Mac drivers for this model appear to have been discontinued and removed from the site, even though the vestigial tech notes for the printer still on display on the product page state that MacOSX is supported). I'm prepared to try a reinstall from a fresh source to see if it shifts the problem. Otherwise, as you say, it would appear that another 'bug' has been found which the attempted fix has not cleared.
