Photoshop Elements won't access my HP printer

When I click on Print, my HP Fax software is opened even though the printer is selected.  I reinstalled my printer software and still no luck.   The printer software is the default.   I see that others have had this problem but I haven't seen any suggested solutions for this.

Thanks, that did the trick.

This solution has been mentioned several times: The names of the printer and fax are too long.  In Windows, open the properties of each device and rename them to something like "HP Printer" and "HP Fax". Ken

    I installed a new printer and now Photoshop Elements tells me I can't print.  The error message is "The saved printer information is not compatible with this version of Photoshop Elements, or the saved printer is no longer available.  You will need to check your printer settings before printing."  I have uninstalled and re-installed Photoshop Elements, checked my printer settings and still I can't print a photo.

    Hi ,
    Please update to PSE 13.1

  • Want to create an oval vignette in photoshop elements 10 with transparent background for printing w

    I am fairly new to PSE and I want to create an oval vignette in Photoshop Elements 10 with transparent background for printing on white paper using MS Publisher. Using the white background on inverse selection makes a slight line impression and either it should have a defined "frame" or nothing.
    Appreciate any guidance.

    Try with the Elliptical marquee tool:
    On the tool's option bar set feather 25-40 px (experiment)
    Drag out the Ellipse to embrace the object
    Go to Layer>new>layer via copy, or CTRL+J
    Your selection should fade out as a vignette and be surrounded by transparency
    Save this layer via File>save for web, select PNG-24, and tick "Transparency"

    In PSE you need to install the TWAIN driver:

    Photoshop Elements won't open. I have tried re-installing. I have windows pro 7

     
    Try making a direct desktop icon for the Editor and see if you can launch the program directly from the desktop.
    Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New à Shortcut
    Browse to Computer OS C:
    And find the PSE Editor application in Program Files or Program Files (x86) on Windows 7 - 64 bit.
    C: à Program Files à Adobe à Photoshop Elements 9
    Within the Photoshop elements 9 folder find PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe (with the blue icon)
    Select that file and click Next.
    Then click Finish.
    You should now be able to launch by double clicking on the new desktop icon, bypassing the welcome screen.

  • Photoshop Elements won't open

    I've been using this computer in my workshop for simple things, mostly email, fb, etc. It has had Photoshop CS (very old, not sure what version) and Photoshop Elements 2.0 on it and both have been working fine. Just brought it into the house to use in the office after my slightly newer, but still old, iMac G5 died. I'm hoping to use it for a short time while figuring out what to do next regarding a newer computer. I've gotten it connected to printer and scanner with a bit of trouble due to trying to find old drivers again. That's really all I'm aware of having changed. Now suddenly PE and P CS won't open. I reinstalled PE (which is what I use most); no change. It starts to open, then just quits. I've clicked on "report" and see the following:
    Date/Time:      2012-04-11 00:02:41.529 -0400
    OS Version:     10.4.11 (Build 8S165)
    Report Version: 4
    Command: Photoshop Elements 2.0
    Path:    /Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 2/Photoshop Elements 2.0/Contents/MacOS/Photoshop Elements 2.0
    Parent:  WindowServer [66]
    Version: 2.0 (2.0)

    Thread: 0
    Exception:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)

    Of course there's lots more but that's the part with the bad words like "bad access" and "invalid address" and such. I'm hoping someone can tell me what is going on; perhaps you know what the above means? Or maybe there is some other clue here? I'd be grateful. Thanks for reading.

    PS Just to be clear, no major changes in software; I have been running both Photoshop programs on this computer, with OS 10.4.11, since getting the computer as a hand-me-down a couple of months ago. I did update OS, Safari, and a few other things at that time, as well as maxing the memory, deleting many programs and files I'll never use, etc. Installed PE 2.0 at that time. CS was already on it. Both have worked just fine. When I reinstalled PE the installer said it had installed properly.

    Well, just in case someone else checks in here with the same problem. Got both programs working just fine again. I hunted up other threads on the same topic; several had posts suggesting trashing certain plug-ins and/or prefs. I'd tell you exactly what but I did a bunch and not sure which solved it. With Photoshop CS 8.0, I deleted plist in user library; no change; then deleted twain plug-in, now it opens just fine. I don't exactly comprehend why, but so far so good. If I have any other useful observations I will post them.

    PS I ordered a PRAM battery and will replace that anyway, just because I'm certain it is quite old; perhaps this will prevent other problems popping up. I need to get a bit more use out of this nice old machine!

  • HP Deskjet 9650 with Photoshop Elements 7 and Windows 7 not printing

    I have a new Windows 7 computer and installed Photoshop Elements 7.0 on it, which works fine, except I cannot print.  I did the installation instructions to use the alternate driver 9800 and can print 8 1/2 X 11 Word documents, but I cannot print a 12X12 scrapbook page to save my soul.  The resume print button keeps blinking and it spits it out blank.  Any help?
    I hope I do not have to get a new large format printer.

    I just accomplished this without any real problems and am now running with my same license on the newly rebuilt PC.  Here is what I did ...
    Originally my PSE7 configuration was set up last year on new Intel I7-based PC running Vista 64 bit version with a retail copy of the PSE7 software, i.e. not the upgrade version.  Once that was setup I imported my catalog from the older Adobe Photoshop Album on my previous system.  That put me at the place you are now, i.e. PSE7 on Windows Vista.
    For this upgrade I puchased the upgrade version of Windows 7 and an additional second disk drive.  I installed Windows 7 onto the clean drive, giving me a dual-boot system for either OS.  While booted on the Vista drive, I used the easy-transfer method to write a backup of my Vista files to an external disk drive.  I then rebooted into the Windows 7 drive and used the Easy-transfer tool to reload the files from the external drive. (note; this easy-transfer included >200GB of music/video/image files so it ran for several hours for each phase of the transfer)
    Once I verified the directory structure on the new Windows 7 setup, only then did I do the installation of PSE7.  That wnet flawlessly and relicensed without any problems.  Next I was able to open up my catalog in organizer and all of the images were intact.  Since then I have had no issues with the configuration.
    So bottom line is you should be fine doing the upgrade regardless of whether you do the upgrade like I did to a new drive or an in-place upgrade overlaying your vista environment.  For the in-place upgrade I would strongly recommend you still do a backup of all of your images and their associated catalog(s) to an external drive.  Win7 is a vast improvement over Vista so I'm sure you won't regret the upgrade but I don't trust any vendor's software upgrade procedure, especially Microsoft so please do the backup first.

  • Photoshop Elements won't install on Windows 8

    First & foremost, I'm incredibly irritated that my Photoshop Elements 6 won't install on my new Windows 8 laptop. (I did the right thing: uninstalled from the old laptop before wiping the drive to get it ready for resale.)  And now, instead of getting true & real support from Adobe, I'm directed to a user Forum.  BS!  Absolutely UNACCEPTABLE consumer support!!!!  I will NEVER AGAIN purchase an Adobe product.  Of course, this is no slam against other Adobe users on the Forum - it's just that Adobe needs to take a stronger ownership  of its problems - they should NOT let all of us swirl around and find answers to their problems. 

    Photoshop Elements 6 is ancient software. It may or may not run under Windows 8. I am sure you could have paid for customer technical support for your issue, but it might be that you still would have been told that it was not compatible or that it was a untested combination. Adobe stops giving installation support on older versions after the new version comes out. If you post in the Photoshop Elements forum you may find other users that have or have not been able to install Photoshop Elements 6 on Windows 8. You were actually given great support to visit the forums, since our collection of users have much more experience than many people that work in Adobe Technical Support.

  • I have a used iMac, HD wiped, OS 10.6.8 freshly installed w/Rosetta, Photoshop Elements won't start saying "could not complete because of missing or invalid personalization info." previous owner's name still there preventing initialing?

    I have a used iMac, HD wiped clean, OS 10.6.8 freshly installed w/Rosetta, Photoshop Elements was installed but won't start saying "could not complete because of missing or invalid personalization info." is previous owner's name somehow still there preventing initialing?  How do I remove and install my own?  I don't understand as HD was completely wiped with no OS when I got it.

    I think Adobe allows their software to be installed on 2 computers only. However, if say you buy another computer and wish to install PSE on the new computer ( effectively a 3rd computer as far as Adobe is concerned ) PSE needs to be properly uninstalled ie not simply by uninstalling using the operating system's uninstall process. It needs to be uninstalled using the Adobe uninstall process that is contained within the software.
    You should then be given a prompt as to whether you will be reinstalling on the same computer or if you wish to remove altogether. If the latter, then all traces are removed and the software can be (re) installed on the new computer.
    If, unknown to yourself, the software had been installed on 2 computers and although you or the previous may have wiped the hard drive clean, as far as Adobe is concerned the software is still ' registered / assigned ' to 2 computers.
    If the previous owner bought a new computer and installed their PSE on it, wiped the hard drive clean without properly uninstalling/removing PSE thentherein probably lies the prblem.
    As Allan Jones said, it 's probably worth your while to purchase your own copy.
    Hope this helps.

  • Photoshop Elements won't start (Win XP)

    Some one tell me why i should not throw this program in the trash

    Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below if restart does not fixes the problem.
    Solution 1:      1. Close Elements.  Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.     Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
    2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
    3: Try launching with Admin account
    4: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
    5: Try launching PSE Editor directly from .exe (win) or Editor app file (mac)
    6: Check once in task manager (WIN) or Activity monitor (Mac) to make sure that the Photoshop Elements Editor is not already running. If yes then kill the process and try re-launching.
    7: Make sure you have space available on your hard drive. For specification review here http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-elements/tech-specs.html   Solution
    8: Re-installing with admin account.
    Hope you get it working.

  • Photoshop Elements won't start, closes, says no serial #

    I had to get a new computer, mother board died. Old hard drive installed as d drive and all programs work fine except Photoshop Elements.
    looks like it will start, asks me to agree to user agreement, I click agree and it says I did not and will shut down and also says my name and serial # can't be found or aren't valid or something and shuts down.
    Chat won't help me but when I searched for help this topic is touched on and clearly states you can not fix yourself.
    I am really stuck. I hope someone here can help me.

  • Photoshop elements won´t start

    Hallo Adobe Photoshop elements 12 won´t start. The editor does not start, the organizer has no problmes. I have reinstall the programm (sorry is english is not so good) because i had installed new hardware. (Mainboard, CPU, RAM). After restarting the systems the programm worked fine. After some days elements was only in trial-mode. First I irgnired it but then i deinstalled it an  reinstalled it on a new ssd. Installing and entering the CD-Key was no problem. Organizer launched without any problems but the photoeditor does not start. Log-Files are okay, no errors while install-progress. I did everything, reinstalling, using ccleaner and i tried to delete manuelly everything with "photshop elements" in the regestry (with new installation after that....).
    Running the setup und the exe as admin did´nt help.
    has anybody a solution for me or  a direkt link to contact adobe?

    try uninstalling, cleaning (Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6) and then installing.

  • Photoshop elements won't switch to the editor workspace from the organizer.

    I can't edit more than one photograph per session when using Photoshop Elements 10.
    When I first open up the organizer, I can select a photograph for editing and send it to the editing workspace.
    However, when I try to edit a second photograph in the session, the editing workspace won't load.  Even if I try closing Photoshop Elements altogether and reopening it, the editing workspace still won't load. 
    The only way to get the editing workspace to load again is to shut down my computer completely.
    This has only started recently, and I am unaware of doing anything to cause this problem.
    Has anybody come across this problem and how did they solve it?

    Try making a direct shortcut for the Organizer and Editor. You can then launch the programs directly from the desktop bypassing the welcome screen. This is generally better as the welcome screen leaves background processes running.
    On Windows, Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
    Then click the browse button and navigate to:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 10 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
    Then click Next; then click Finish
    To launch, try right-clicking on the new desktop icons and choose “Run As Administrator” which often improves stability.
    Then make a direct shortcut for the Editor in a similar manner.
    On Windows, Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
    Then click the browse button and navigate to:
    "C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
    Then click Next; then click Finish
    N.B. navigate to Program Files on 32 bit systems.

  • My free trial download of photoshop elements won't open because of missing elements. I've already installed twice. What can I do?

    I downloaded the free trial of Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 and now it won't open because it says there are "...missing files. Please reinstall."  I've already downloaded it twice and it still didn't fix it. Is there anything I can do to fix it? TIA.

    SkylaNicole what is the specific error which you are receiving when trying to open Photoshop Elements?

  • Cannot sign into Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 - no access to online services or tutorials.

    Anyone else have problems signing into Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 tonight?  I keep getting error message 400 or the program simply freezes.  My adobe ID and password are valid.  Help Line told me to post this question here.  Any and all help are greatly appreciated.  I would like to access the online storage, email capabilities and tutorials.
    Thank you!

    It works OK and the syncing between devices is nifty. At least it is with my daughter's ipad, the Android app does not work with the Android 2.2 software version on my phone.
    Why not give it a try. If you had images on photoshop.com they'll have been transferred to Revel (same id / password as you used for photoshop.com). and you can install a trial version of PSE12 and see if you like the mobile albums feature. Installing PSE12 will not mess up anything in your PSE10. And you can see if you like the new PSE12 new User Interface.
