Photoshop not printing: error message

I am having serious trouble, I would label it an impossibility, printing in Photoshop CS6 (and Photoshop CC, I tried both) When I select print, I get an instant error message:
"There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents."
I am running Mac OSX10.9.3. I have done a de-install and re-install. I have also re-installed the printer drivers. I have no difficulty printing through InDesign or any other programs. No matter what printer I try (I have three to use) Photoshop will not print.
Mysteriously, I had no trouble printing this time yesterday, and have not changed my hardware or external software since. The problem is with Photoshop. Thank you (anyone!) for your help.

So no one has solved this?
I have the same problem, so my slow work around is this: Save as PDF and print from either Preview or Adobe Reader which both work fine (suggesting that Photoshop might be the issue).
NB, the fault occurs on both CC and CC 2014.
Can't seem to find any info on the fix or work-around so any help would be appreciated.
thanks
Jonno

Photoshop suddenly does not print to Epson 3880 - PROBLEM: Cannot print from Photoshop After restart error message appears: - "There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopen

PROBLEM: Cannot print from Photoshop
After restart error message appears:
— “There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents.”
• All print commands are greyed out and unavailable — even to call up the printer commands cannot be done.
The printer printed fine until about 2 weeks ago when this error message appeared. Printing continues from Pages, I-photo, preview etc. — only Photoshop fails.
The printer has been turned on and off, as have open documents been closed and open etc.. Preferences reset. Repeatedly I have read through blogs and forums and attempted to contact Adobe — all without results
Epson support struggled to find reason and several solutions were tried and they assume this is an Adobe problem.

Hp 5535 will not scan, error message printer not found

I have a HP Envy 5535. I have only been able to scan one time with it. I scanned 22 documents, after running HP Scan Doc 4.4. Each time the HP Scan Doc states that everything is OK, yet as soon as I try to do even a test scan, I get the error message "Printer not found." I have also tried to run this scan with my McAfee virus firewall off, and it still doesn't work. I have also identified it on McAfee as part of my network.
This question was solved.

Hi @prazdancr,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I am sorry that you cannot scan with your HP Envy 5535, but I am happy to help!
For further assistance I will need to know:
If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
If the printer is connected, Wireless, or USB.
If the printer is able to make copies by itself.
If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
In the meantime, please try going through this scanning guide. A 'The computer is not responding' Error Message Displays During Scanning.
Hope to hear from you soon, and have a nice day!

How can I print emails? Printing Error message that no printers are installed. (Printers are installed.)

When I click File > Print, I get a Printing Error message that no printers are installed. Printers are installed. When I click Yes to install a new printer, I receive a new error message that "Windows can't open Add Printer / The local print spooler service is not running. Please restart the spooler or restart the machine." I updated to the new version of Thunderbird 24.6.0. Using Windows 8. I restarted the machine. I confirmed printers are installed using Control Panel. I do not see any way to restart a print spooler. How can I fix this? Thanks.

The print spooler is a windows service and is required to print. I would hazard a guess you can not print with any application.
What I am saying is I think your windows instalation has a problem, not Thunderbird.

"Not Found" Error Message Problem

Hi All!
I have a really weird issue happening that I have not found a post for in the boards, although there are some similar ones. I have a video project that I had been working on about a month ago and finished except for credits (I had no problems while working on it then). I finally just got the list of names to use for the credits, so I went to open the project to add the credits and I got a "Not Found" and "Out Of Memory" Message. I have 134.6 Gigs open on the Raid I save everything to, so I know I'm not actually out of memory. So I changed the settings to 80% Application and 50% Stills b/c I have around 10 jpegs I was using for titles in it. That seemed to help at least get the sequence opened. I then had media offline messages for those titles, eventhough they are in the browser and defined as online, so I just reconnected each one individually anyway. That helped with that problem. However, I FCP won't render the transitions around the titles. I deleted the transitions and titles and tried to re-render the video clips that were involved in the transitions with the titles. It won't render those. When I try to view the clips in the viewer, I get the "Not Found" message again. I reconnected a couple of the video clips individually, but I still get the message when I try to view them in the Viewer. The clips in the sequence are there and play in the canvas but not in the viewer and I get the "Not Found" message. I have it set to view the image without wireframes, so that's not the problem. The source videos are read as online in the browser and are in the same place as they were when I originally started the project, so that's not the problem. I've tried different variations on the memory usage. I've tried copying and pasting to a new sequence but get the same problem. Does anyone know why all of a sudden I can't view any of my source video and the clips I used in my sequence in the viewer and why it would give me the "Not Found" error message?
Some Specs that might be helpful:
FCP HD 4.5
Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5
2.5 Gigs DDR SDRAM
Raid 1 with 134.6 Gigs Available Space
SD NTSC DV Footage - MPG files I transfered originally from the client's portable hard drive
A Few JPGs of Photoshop Titles
I'm sorry this is insanely long, but I wanted to provide as much detail as I could.
Emily

They were originally on a PC. That quite possibly could be it.
I just checked all the titles again and they are all RGB.
Our Raid ocassionally has problems, so I'm thinking it might have something to do with that.
I'm going to try on Monday to just re-import the videos I need into the project and see how that goes. If anyone has any suggestions, I'll take a look on Monday and see what happens.
I was just hoping that someone might have had this problem and knew what to do.
Thanks for your help!

Printer error messages

psc 2170 all in one printer, error message "remove and check cartridge" this has appeared for no obvious reason when I now switch on. I have removed and cleaned contact points on both cartridges and printed to no avail so would be most grateful for any suggestions that might help.
Thank you

Hi - Did you clean the contacts in the printer (carriage) as well? If not, try that to see if that resolves the problem - Step 5 in this document.
If that doesn't resolve the problem, the next step is to replace the cartridges (one at a time, in case only one of them is bad).
Hope that helps.

Hi jwnova142 ,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with a Paper Size Error when attempting to print.
First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
I have also located a document that deals with the 'Paper Mismatch,' or 'Paper Size Mismatch' Error Message Displays When Printing.
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. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.

I'm getting a "printer error" message when I try to print a document with a lot of scans in it. Any suggestions?

OK, I tried a few things, and I do not understand the results.
1) I opened the document in Preview, and it would only recognize the three initial pages which I typed using the Pages App. It did not recognize the bulk of the text which I copied from Appleworks 6. It also did not recognize any of the scans.
2) I tried opening a pdf in Preview, and it would only recognize the scans. (No Text!)
3) I tried copying everything (select all, and command-c) in Pages, and then opened a blank Pages doc, and typed Command-v. This got me all of the text, but none of the scans!
4) I was worried that my Pages app might be corrupted, but I successfully converted a similar 78-page document with copied materials from Appleworks 6 and similar scans, ant this worked perfectly.
My conclusion is that my file must be corrupted. Is there any way to check this? shabda88

Envy 5534 on MAC- print error message unable to convert post scrip file

Hi @itsalex,
What type of bar code are you printing, and from what program? Just a thought, what if you print the barcode as an image, if you are not already? Try File>Print> Advanced> Print as Image> print.
If the issue persists, let's reset the printing system and repair the disk permissions; doing so may resolve the issue.
Reset Printing System
Click the Apple icon ( ), and then click System Preferences.
In the Hardware section, click Print & Fax/Scan. The Print & Fax/Scan dialog box opens.
Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system…
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows no printer selected
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Repair Disk Permissions
On the Dock, click Applications, and then click Utilities.
Double-click Disk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left (by default this is "Macintosh HD").
Click the Repair Disk Permissions button at the bottom of the window.
Once the repair is complete, restart the computer and add the printer back.
When you add the printer, please ensure you are using the HP driver.
Select Add other Printer or Scanner
Select the printer you are adding and next to 'Use' you can select the printer drive. In the screenshot below, you will see Airprint is auto selected, you can change it to the HP driver though.
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Talk to you later alligator

Scanner Not Found Error Message on My Computer

5 years ago, I got an HP inkjet printer and after it was installed, I could never get the scanner to work. I always got an error message (can't remember the wording). Last month, I got a new HP laserjet printer with a scanner, and it is installed, but again, I get an error message when it comes to scanning. This message tells me that there is no scanner found on my computer.
Today, from the panel on the printer, I was able to open up the scanning option. It looks like the only options are to send the scan to an email or to have the scan sent to a flashdrive (USB port). So, if I want to scan a picture, how do I just scan the picture and save it in my documents? Why is the only option to send it in an email or a flashdrive or a network folder? If I try to access the scanner from my computer (instead of using the panel on the front of the printer), it doesn't look like the scanner is connected to the computer even though it is (I went into system preferences and found the printer and both printer and scanner are connected with this new printer).
So, my question is two-fold; why do I get this message saying my scanner is not found on my computer and is the only way to use the scanner is to have it connected to the internet or a USB port, and if so, how do I connect it to my email address or network? I guess I would have to email the scanned picture to myself if I want it on my computer or save it on a flash drive? Thanks for any help.

Hi @awestruck ,
I see that you are getting a "scanner not found" error message. I would like to help you out today, but I will need to know some more information.
What is the full name and product number of your printer? How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Depending on which model you have, the features are different.
You should have the HP Software installed for scanning from the computer. You can also use Apple Preview, Apple Image Capture or Print & Scan.
What software are you using to scan with?
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Photosmart 6510 Printer error message 0xc19a0003.

I have a Photosmart 6510 Printer error message 0xc19a0003. I have re-powered the printer but still get the error message Oxc19a0003. Suggestions to fix?
Thanks!

You are correct, gksurgeon, the 5510 does not have a removable printhead. If you followed the steps in the document above, then the printer will need to be replaced.
If you are still in warranty, HP may replace the printer at no cost to you. I'll link the information to get in touch with them below. The link will take you to a form to fill out. Once you fill it out and it is processed, it will give you the printers warranty information, a case number, and the phone number to call.

Getting print error messages after 8.1.3 update

Adobe Acrobat 8 - Since the 8.1.3 update a couple days ago, I am now getting print error messages in the Adobe PDF printer status box when I send any document to the Adobe PDF printer. The actual printing of the document in Adobe works correctly, but these error messages occur as well - even though the document printed just fine.
I am running Windows Vista Ultimate and did not have the issue prior to the 8.1.3 update.

I have removed PDFMaker from Office, to try to simplify the troubleshooting. All attempts to print end up the same, whether from PDFMaker (before I removed it from Office), from print to Adobe PDF from within an Office app, or using Create a PDF in AP 8.1.3 from an Office file ... the last hourglass comes up in "reading Adobe PDF" and stays up. I can see the "target file" created in WinExpl but greyed out, and the hourglass (busy) never goes away in AP 8.1.3.
In contrast, if I want to create a pdf from a "save as" text file, AP 8.1.3 creates the pdf instantly. Create a pdf from scanner also works fine. This problem is definitely related to updates, since AP 8.1 worked perfectly the last time I used it from Office, which was perhaps 2 months ago.
AP 8.1 suddenly stopped working this week with a "can't create PDF" error message, I updated AP all the way to 8.1.3, and have the problem described above. I don't get an error message now, the create PDF or print to PDF simply never completes.
BTW, both my desktop and notebook run Vista Ultimate 64-bit, both have registered and activated copies of AP 8.1.3, and Office 2007, and both have the exact same problem.
I uninstalled AP 8.1.3 on the desktop, installed the trial version of AP 9.0, and experienced the exact same problem as with AP 8.1.3, the create pdf never completes, but produces no error message.
I print to XPS as a workaround since print to Adobe PDF never completes.
