Photoshop not printing

I have photoshop cs5.1 I cannot seem to print. when I select print from the menu I am getting nothing. Nothing happens and no additional menu pops up. Then if I try to go and try print again the option for printing is greyed out. It used to work fine. I have tried reinstalling the driver, rebooting and updating software. Its very weird.

Try resetting the Photoshop preference file: Hold Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Opt+Shift as you initiate Photoshop's startup. Select "yes" when asked if you would like to continue with reset.

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

Photoshop not printing to Epson R2400 in Snow Leopard

Hi there
I can print from Microsoft Word and Textpad fine. But Photoshop CS4 will not print anything to my Epson R2400. The job briefly appears in the queue, then disappears, with no error message.
When I try and Preview from inside the Epson Print dialogue, it just shows a blank page, so I'm pretty sure it's Photoshop that's at fault, as Previewing a similar job from Microsoft Word turns out fine.
Has anyone else had this error and found a way to fix it?

I've the exact same problem - though I'm using Lightroom 2.4 (64 bit) and Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac.
Printing from Textpad & Pages works fine - but every print from Lightroom and Photoshop Elements just disappears (like Monkeytennis2 described).
I've tried different drivers: the new 6.57 - and the older 6.12 (via Rosetta). The Gutenprint 5.2.3 works, but the quality is just miserable.
This is indeed a strange thing ... and I hope someone has an idea how to fix it.
EDIT: has anyone tried this http://forums.adobe.com/message/2215478 ... ?

Photoshop not printing in color

I have photoshop cs4 and i'm trying to print to a Toshiba 6520c color copier. I set it to print in color but it only prints black and white. All the other cs4 products will print in color. Has anyone else run across this problem. photoshop will print to our other color copier just fine (its a konica minolta bizhub). I'm thinking it may be a communication issue with photoship and the toshiba print driver.
Thank You.

PSD files will not print from Photoshop CS4 (previously posted in Acrobat printing and prepress)

My questions are: Does the PSD file have the printer information encoded?
Also why has this just started to show up? My wife has work successfully under the same conditions, files moved and printed on different printers, with no problems in the past.
I (we) have been struggling with a recent problem trying to print PSD files from Photoshop CS4. (Vista 32 bit, Epson 3880 networked) When trying to print certain, but not all, PSD files I get the message: "Before you can perform printer-related tasks such as page setup or printing a document, you need to install a printer." I have been in contact with Adobe support about the issue but with little in the way of positive results. I was referred to a kb link: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/409/kb409119.html Tried all that to no avail. (The first suggestion is absurd to the point of making me wonder what process is used to construct the kbs. You cannot open the print menu when you get this message so....?)
Other solutions are not acceptable for the work my wife is doing, editing high quality photographs for an exhibition with test prints and so on. We are under intense time pressue with four shows coming up in a very short time. The final solution offered is that CS5 has solved all of this. Hum? interesting. No comment except new program, new problems so not a real solution for us.
In searching the web about this problem I have come across many other people with the same problem working from different platforms and even different Adobe products. I noticed that the MAC OS seemed to cause the same problem and that there was a problem with Reader and Acrobat. In every case the problem is never solved by Adobe or anyone else and users find some "workaround". I too have found what we hope is a workaround in our contiued travels on the blogosphere, on flickr http://www.flickr.com/groups/wellington/discuss/72157621548183001/ as "...a nasty, nasty solution" but we skipped the flatten part and the GIMP part and resave the PSD under a different name.
Adobe does seem supportive but not that interested (CS4 right) but I would like to find a real solution and I think many people would benefit from it.
Anyway what I have found is that the PSD files that will not print have been printed on another printer at some time in the past. In my case the Printer was an Epson Artisan A50. The printer we are using now is the Epson Stylus Pro 3880. Even when trying to print wirelessly to the 3880 from the laptop (Was Vista, now Windows 7) that was used to edit and print with the A50, (USB connection) we saw the same error. So it seems that the printer information is somehow embedded in the PSD file (also mentioned in a Blog) and is keeping PS from seeing the printer because the same printer is not there.
Has anybody already found the fix?
I know this is a long post but I have been working on this problem and have heard all of the pat and frankly useless answers and workarounds. Can we find a solution and fix the problem?

Just a few examples, since you ask:

Photoshop CS5 does not print amount of images accurately!

Photoshop CS5 does not print amount of images accurately!
what ever you ask for above 1 copy of an image you do not get it..
you ask for 5 you get 1 you ask for 8 you get 1.. sometimes you get the leftover amount from the previous image printed on the new image..
adobe support has no idea about this problem..I'm assuming most people print one image and they don't recognize the problem since CS5 is just on the market... try print multiple copies and see what happens?

The solution is purported to be to get a driver update.
Since the problem seems to be a "delay" or "staging" of the values being sent to the driver through some intermediate location, a workaround has been proposed that may be helpful. This may depend on the printer driver:
1. Set the copy count you want.
2. Hit the Print Settings... button.
3. Go into the Printer Driver setup screens and verify the copy count.
4. Then do the print.

Can not print out good quality pictures in Photoshop CS4...

Hi,
I can not print out good quality photos from my printer. Photos are dark and colors are not good either. I have Windows XP, Photoshop CS4 and printer Epson R800 . I have been trying to find out what are the right settings on the computer, printer and in the software and spent hours on the computer not able to sort out this.
Many thanks before hand,

Same answer as on a million otehr such thereads: Read up on color management, reset your monitor settings and profile, reset your printer settings and profile, calibrate.

Photoshop CC will not print to my Epson r2400

When I try to print from PS, I get the error window "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 using a Mac OS X 10.10.2 and my Photoshop CC 2014 will not print to the Epson r2400.
I can print with Illustrator CC and all other software programs on my Mac.
I've uninstalled my Epson r2400 Drivers, uninstalled everything associated with the printer drivers and reinstalled the new drivers after emptying the trash and restarting the Mac. My problem still persists. It seems to me it is a Photoshop Software problem!

Try opening "print" while holding the spacebar; this discards any saved values. Also, make sure the correct printer it set as default. If these fail, try resetting print: Open print and hold Option. The cancel button will become a reset - click the reset button.

Photoshop CS5 will not print on HP 5610

I have an HP computer running Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit. When I send anything to print from Photoshop CS5 to my HP officejet 5610, the printer just pushes the paper through without printing. I get no error messages. It simply does not print. It happens on all types of paper. I have reinstalled the print driver and nothing has changed. I am able to print from other programs with no problem. Does anyone have any idea on a solution??

How To Get Help Quickly!
Is the printer driver up-to-date?
Could your disk actually be faulty?
Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated?
As with all unexplainable Photoshop-problems you might try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed) by pressing command-alt-shift on starting the program or starting from a new user-account.
System Maintenance (repairing permissions, purging PRAM, running cron-scripts, cleaning caches, etc.) might also be beneficial, Onyx has been recommended for such tasks.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/onyx.html
Weeding out bad fonts never seems to be a bad idea, either. (Validate your fonts in Font Book and remove the bad ones.)
If 3rd party plug-ins are installed try disabling them to verify if one of those may be responsible for the problem.

Colours do not Print correctly with Photoshop CS4

I am using the Adobe Master Collection CS4, and use an Epson RX650 printer, but for the life of me I cannot get Photoshop to print what is on the screen.
The prints are dark, and no where near the ones on the screen.
I am using genuine Epson Ink, and Premium glossy paper, so as to remove this issue, is this a case of my screen needing to be calibrated?
I have considered buying the Spyde Studio calibrator to ensure that this is correct, (do I need to?) and I have read as much as I can about setting up Adobe to manage the print settings and colours, but still no luck.
My current settings are as follows
In Adobe Bridge, my creative suit color settings are set to Europe General Purpose 2
The in Adobe Photoshop (version 11.0.1) I am selecting under colour management, Document Adoby RGB (1998), Photoshop handles colours, Printer profile is Epson sRGB Colour Space, Rendering intent is Relative Colourimetric, and I have ticked the following boxs, Blackpoint compensation, Match print colours, Gamut warning and Show paper white.
Can some one please advise me?

I too have had problems with prints being much darker than what I see on screen.
Below is my solution which works fairly well for color prints--not as well for grayscale.
I used the huey Pro monitor calibrator purchased only a couple of months back to make my prints look right and be consistent.
1.       Use the huey to calibrate the monitor
2.       From Photoshop (CS4), I select the ICC profile for my Epson 2200 printer and the paper being used. I then set up soft proofing in Photoshop (in the View menu) which allows me to see on screen how the image will be printed. Usually it is a bit darker than I like.
3.       so I adjust the brightness such that in the soft proof view, the image appears as I wish.
4.       There is more yet to do in that you have to set various settings for the print process like letting Photoshop manage colors, setting no color adjustment for the printer. And a few more minor settings regarding the printer
By the way, there is something wrong with the print driver for the 2200 in XP so that when you come to the last screen before printing, the print preview has a very red tint. You simply ignore that since the print has none of that. This is in XP. Possibly Windows Vista has a driver that doesn’t do that.
This has given me good quality consistent prints the first time they are printed—at least on the few I have done since getting the huey
